Chapter 1691
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1691 As the towerâs doors were lowered, Gerald couldnât help but look around, attempting to gather his bearings. However, the pitch darkness made it impossible to see a thingâ¦
Just as Gerald was wondering what to do next, a beam of light suddenly appeared from the tower! With how increasingly bright it was getting, the lightâs radiance was reminiscent of a raging bonfireâ¦
Regardless, it wasnât long after before a man donning white clothes walked out from the lightâ¦
Seeing that, Gerald was prompted to ask, ââ¦And you are?â
âI am the god of Astral Traveler in the Leicom Continent, and the form that youâre currently seeing is the final primordial spirit that Iâve left behind in the Heaven Tower. I was summoned by your arrival!â
explained the primordial spirit as it stared at Gerald.
âYouâre the god of Astral Traveler? And what do you mean my arrival summoned you?â replied Gerald, stunned by the sudden turn of events. For one, he definitely hadnât expected the person before him to be the legendary ancient god of Astral Travelerâ¦
Chuckling when he heard that, the god of Astral Traveler simply extended his hand⦠before snapping his fingers.
And just like that, Gerald was greeted by the sight of countless stars! While it was most probably just a manifested illusion, it truly felt like he was currently standing in the middle of spaceâ¦
Apparently not done yet, the god of Astral Traveler then waved his hand⦠Revealing another scene to Gerald. A greatly unsettling oneâ¦
The continent was in ruins, complete shambles! With countless bones scattered across the lands and the sky layered with a blanket of dark clouds, Gerald felt a shiver run down his spine just from looking at all thatâ¦
âWhat the hell happened hereâ¦?â Gerald thought to himself.
Now curious out of his mind, Gerald was prompted to ask, âWhat⦠on earth happened here, god of Astral Travelerâ¦?â
The second his question ended, an ethereal âwhirâ could be heard, prompting Gerald to look at the source of the sound⦠and projected there, was the number, âthree hundredâ.
Raising a slight brow, Gerald began wondering, âThree hundred? What does that signify? Is it a secret code of some sortâ¦?â
After a slight pause, the god of Astral Traveler then replied, ââ¦This⦠is the fate of the world in exactly three hundred daysâ¦â
Upon hearing that, Gerald was rightfully shocked. Eyes widened and filled with incredulity, Gerald then asked, ââ¦What? The worldâs falling into complete ruin by then?â
âIndeed. On the three hundredth day, Masrus, the demonic god will be revived⦠Following that, heâll surely take over the entire world! If heâs allowed to do that, then not only will the Leicom Continent fall under his rule, but Jaellatra and the other continents will share that fate as well!â explained the god of Astral Traveler in a solemn tone.
Though Gerald felt that the claim was somewhat reminiscent of some legendary fairy tale, he knew that the god of Astral Travelerâof all peopleâwouldnât lie to him. With that in mind, that meant that the worldâs fate was truly looking grimâ¦
ââ¦I see. God of Astral Traveler, Iâm assuming youâre showing me all this for a reason. Could it be that Iâm capable of preventing all this suffering?â asked Gerald.
After all, the God of Astral Tower surely wouldnât have shown him all this without a proper reason.
Could he be some prophesied savior for the new generation�
âYour assumption is correct. Only you have the power to go against Masrus, and should you succeed, youâll surely become the savior of the world!â replied the god of Astra Traveler as he gave Gerald a determined look.
Utterly shocked by this sudden revelation, Gerald could only think, ââ¦But⦠Why was I chosen to be the savior out of the blueâ¦?â
