Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 2248

The man was old, maybe as old as time itself. As wrinkled as he was, though, his hair was bronzed, shimmering like copper and rose gold. And his eyes didn't carry the expected murkiness, even past the gears that rotated in place of his irises.

It simply didn't feel like there was any part of the man capable of being surprised. And while Legacies of this sort should have been projections of what was once real, Sylas was also somehow so very sure that… He was meeting this man in the flesh.

"This is the first time I've allowed a Legacy of Key to reach me. It has been a while since I've seen someone with the audacity to form a Rune Path of Spacetime."

Sylas' gaze flickered.

As expected, the Legacy of Key would have shattered had this man not allowed it to open up.

If someone like the Monkey King could project his Will into the future to protect his image, then there were certainly others that could do it.

Sylas had already thought of this much. He just decided to use the Legacy of Key anyway because he thought that whoever he saw on the other end would be the creator of the Creation World. And by extension, they would likely want the tower to keep on going… no?

But it sounded like this man didn't actually care all that much whether the tower stayed standing or not. He seemed quite indifferent to pretty much everything and was just a little curious about Sylas.

"What are your thoughts?"

Sylas blinked, not expecting to be asked a question like this.

"Of?"

"I think you know what I mean." The old man said calmly.

Sylas was almost amused. It was an odd feeling to experience for him, but he could feel that the old man was already impatient because of his question, almost like he was too used to speaking to people far too foolish compared to himself.

It was true that Sylas could guess at what he meant. The problem was that his guess felt too broad. So, would a man who seemed so impatient actually be willing to listen to all of his thoughts?

That was why Sylas asked the clarifying question, but it was also why he was amused the old man replied the way he had.

Compared to the time Sylas would have to spend explaining, the short clarification would only take fractions of a second.

Still, even Sylas was surprised by his own amusement.

"I believe that my path is currently broken. Its foundation is not properly stabilized, and while I can continue to move forward for a long while longer, maybe even making it to A-tier Rune Creation, I won't make it to S-tier like this.
