Chapter 240 "Debt" Issue, The Forgotten City!
Actually, what Su Yu just said was merely speculation, without any evidence.
But Xiao Shengyin and the others had great faith in Su Yu. After all, the "big shot" spoke, and it was reasoned and evidenced, so they couldn't help but believe.
Only now did Xiao Shengyin and the other two finally understand what "inescapable fate" meant.
It turns out it was because they absorbed too much subspace energy, incurring a "debt" to the subspace.
Now the time has come, and with its chaotic nature, the subspace influences time and manipulates their fate.
It leads them to disaster and death, using life and soul to repay the debt they've incurred.
A short while ago, Xiao Shengyin and the others encountered Qiu Mo and heard Qiu Mo's theories about the Power of Time.
Originally, they were somewhat skeptical about Qiu Mo's theories.
No one expected that such terrifying power would come upon them so quickly.
This eerie doom was even more terrifying than Zhang Chenfeng's creations.
Zhang Chenfeng's creations, at least, had tracks to follow.
But this so-called subspace backlash involves time and fate, created from unknown origins and even harder to defend against.
Or should it be said, can it really be defended against?
Even someone as powerful as Zhang Chenfeng died ten thousand years ago; could he have also encountered this so-called doom?
Let alone them, who are mere seven-star or eight-star juniors?
"And besides, our old folks' doom seems much more terrifying than Xie Yitian's."
"Could it be because we've lived long enough that our 'debt' is too much?"
Xiao Shengyin muttered to himself.
He was over eight hundred years old, which indeed made him an old man compared to other members.
The old woman Shao Lan beside him probably was about the same.
Their doom, as for Xie Yitian and the others, Su Yu could help resist.
But Xiao Shengyin's doom was targeted by Zhang Chenfeng's creations, making it virtually a death sentence.
Hearing this, Su Yu glanced at Qi Chen.
This Qi Chen, has he lived a long time too? If he were just a young man, the doom shouldn't be too severe, right…
Or is it that this Qi Chen is also an old fellow, just looks young?
"Mr. Su Yu, what should we do when faced with such terrible 'doom'?"
Xiao Shengyin and the others became more fearful as they thought about the doom.
So they could only look to Su Yu for help.
They all hoped that Su Yu, this ancient revived big shot, could have a solution.
When Su Yu talked about doom just now, he spoke logically, as if he had much experience.
They even speculated that in ancient times, Su Yu might have encountered such so-called doom and died from subspace backlash.
But Su Yu, truly a big shot, although dead, relied on his mighty power to be revived ten thousand years later?
If that's true, then seeking help from Su Yu might be the only hope!
But little did they know, Su Yu, this so-called big shot, was just acting the part; he didn't know how to solve the subspace backlash either.
He's not the real ancient big shot, Su Sheng, merely a young man.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu could only shake his head: "I don't have any great solutions either."
"We can only delay time and continue to improve our strength; maybe a turning point will come in the future."
Su Yu spoke the truth; he truly had no solution at the moment.
But Xiao Shengyin and the other three breathed a sigh of relief.
Because Su Yu said, "just continue to improve our own strength."
This statement held significant weight.
How long has it been since Su Yu ascended to seven stars?
Now Su Yu is already at eight stars, possibly even possessing the power of nine stars at his peak.
When Su Yu spoke of improving his own strength, to Xiao Shengyin and the others, this big shot seems to plan on continuing to awaken ancient powers and memories.
Once Su Yu awakens enough powers and memories and recalls how he avoided doom ten thousand years ago, and teaches Xiao Shengyin and the others, wouldn't that be perfect?
"Since Mr. Su Yu has a plan, that's good, that's good…"
Xiao Shengyin and the others nodded repeatedly.
Su Yu blinked; when he said there was no way, these three actually thought "that's good"?
However, Xiao Shengyin's reasoning wasn't entirely wrong.
Although Su Yu isn't the resurrected ancient powerhouse, he has the Profession Panel, his strength enhancement speed far exceeds what others could imagine.
When Su Yu elevates his strength to a certain degree, he might just have the capability to resolve the subspace backlash.
However, even Su Yu himself wasn't overly confident about this.
As it involves matters of time and fate, these are incredibly advanced powers.
Su Yu truly doesn't know to what extent he needs to elevate his strength to resolve it?
Would that Time Drifter of Qiu Mo's be up to the task?
"Tsk tsk, they have too much faith in me."
Su Yu glanced at Xiao Shengyin and the others' relieved faces, feeling a bit speechless.
"You guys, don't be like this. I'm not the real big shot…"
Su Yu complained in his heart.
Acting like such a big shot, but lacking the actual strength to match, is a troublesome affair.
In fact, if the doom were to descend now, to kill Su Yu, he himself wouldn't know how to withstand it.
Fortunately, Su Yu only ascended to seven stars a month or two ago.
In such a short time, the subspace backlash shouldn't arrive immediately, right?
According to Su Yu's theoretical speculation, it's because seven-star experts had absorbed too much subspace spirit power that they were accounted for and backlashed.
Which member of the Transcendent Union hasn't been elevated for decades or even a hundred years? Getting backlashed now seems reasonable enough.
If the subspace had a life, to Su Yu, it would be a "loan shark."
And it's fishing with a long line, "high interest loan" spanning hundreds or even thousands of years, and then it begins "collection."
