Chapter 14: Elementary Spatial Manipulation. The Genes Of The First Generation?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the same time, an old man dressed in luxurious clothes came to the hall.

He sat in the seat that the middle-aged man gave up, quietly watching the scene displayed on the screen. His expression was calm, but his gaze was unusually keen. Wherever his gaze swept past, no one dared to look directly at him.

He was Grandpa Elrond, the strongest and most powerful person in Iron City.

At that moment, he was listening to the middle-aged man’s narration about the entire process of Emerson challenging the test.

Very quickly, as the middle-aged man finished his narration, Grandpa Elrond seemed to be shocked.

“All-rounded Gene, 9,000 steps of Eternal Stairs?”

Elrond’s withered fingers tapped on the table, as if he was thinking about something.

He did not say anything, so naturally, no one dared to say a word.

On the screen, Emerson was still moving forward.

In Emerson’s field of vision, the check point that should have belonged to the 10,000 steps had become a platform.

On the platform, there was a huge silver door that was emitting a sacred light.

There were less than 1,000 steps left!

Emmerson endured the intense pain coming from all over his body. He gritted his teeth and persevered, but his had slowed down a lot.

The falling stairs had now broken through the eighth check point and were rapidly approaching him.

If he continued to move at such a slow speed, it would not be long before death caught up to him.

At that time, all the efforts in the first 9,000 steps would be in vain. He would not be able to protect his sister if he died. Her sister would be bullied by others as well.

“No! I can’t let that happen!”

When Emerson thought of his sister, a strong sense of unwillingness burst out from the bottom of Emerson’s heart.

He would never let that kind of thing happen to his family!

However, no matter how strong Emerson’s will was, he could not recover from the injuries on his body.

No matter how unwilling Emerson was, there would not be a miracle.

Suddenly, Emerson stopped and stood on a flight of stairs. He slowly closed his eyes.

That scene shocked everyone outside.

The stairs were falling very rapidly behind him!

Emerson dared to stop and close his eyes to rest at such a critical moment?

Grandpa Elrond could not help but sigh. “Did he give up?”

The middle-aged man was stunned. “Grandpa Elrond, is there no way to save him?”

“You know the rules of the Eternal Stairs better than I do,” Elrond said regretfully. “He’s indeed a brave warrior. What a pity. Sigh!”

Even Grandpa Elrond, the city lord of Iron City, said so. It was undoubtedly a death sentence for Emerson.

Instantly, the expressions of the group of people became extremely interesting.

Some felt the same as Grandpa Elrond, some looked coldly at the screen, and some even felt happy. No one knew what they were thinking.

However, no one knew that Emerson was actually meditating.

He was thinking about how he could withstand the pressure brought by the 9,000 steps even though he only had a tiny bit of genetic attributes.

Logically speaking, even if he was a perfect all-rounded genetic warrior, it was still not enough for him to reach the height of 9,000 steps.

At most, he would stop at 4,000 to 5,000 steps.

Why?

How was he different from others?

An idea suddenly flashed through Emerson’s mind.

He was right!

Emerson had a system!

A system that could fuse with the genes of all living things, or more precisely, a system that could fuse all living things into a part of his genes!

As for Emerson himself, although he was currently an all-rounded genetic warrior, strictly speaking, he was still lacking an ability.

Elemental Gene!

After the Eternal Stairs was activated, gravity, pressure, resistance, and so on were all present and extremely dense.

These were all forms of spatial power.

Spatial power was an extension of elemental power!

Since that was the case, why did not he try to absorb it?

Emerson slowly opened his eyes and chuckled. “I’m so stupid. It’s such a good place to increase my power, yet I’m using it as a test.”

Fusion! Activate!

Emerson opened his hands. He could actually feel waves of gentle impact coming from all over his body.

The pressure that had initially brought him immense pain had actually become a nourishment for his body at that moment.

The powerful gravity amplification also disappeared in an instant. He lifted his leg once again as his legs were light and nimble!

[Space element fusion. Space Element Fragment: +3!]

[Space element fusion. Space Element Fragment: +5!]

[Space element fusion. Space Element Fragment: +2!]

….

[Acquired 30 Space Element Fragments. Acquired skill – Elementary Spatial Manipulation! ]

The power of space was much stronger than the fire element. Hence, after gathering 30 Space Element Fragments, it was only able to fuse into 1 skill.

That was the first skill that Emerson had acquired. However, before he could check the specific usage, the falling stairs had already approached him and was not far behind him.

Emerson thought of something and looked at the stairs not far away. He thought that he wanted to go there, but in the next second, he really crossed over a hundred steps and arrived at the place he wanted to go.

“Space Warp? What a wonderful experience.”

Emerson felt as if he had fuse with the Eternal Stairs. He was the supreme king in there, and he could go wherever he wanted to go.

With just a few thoughts, he arrived at the tenth check point and stepped onto the platform!

The sacred door was successfully exposed to everyone’s eyes.

What was inside?

Emerson had not moved when Grandpa Elrond suddenly stood up and stared at the carved pattern on the door. He did not even think about why Emerson could arrive in front of the door all of a sudden.

However, in less than 2 seconds, Grandpa Elrond suddenly pointed at the middle-aged man and said, “Clear out everyone here. Get them out of here!”

“Everyone, listen up. If I hear anything about what happened today in the city, everyone will be punished for treason!”

What was going on??

Not to mention those who had come to test, even the middle-aged man was shocked. He had never seen Grandpa Elrond order others so solemnly. He hurriedly pulled a few genetic warriors who were still in a daze nearby and walked out, at the same time, he gave an order to his subordinates.

“What are you all standing there for? Didn’t you hear Grandpa Elrond’s order?”

Only then did the group of people come to their senses. Not a single person was left behind, even the guards. All of them left the testing area.

Grandpa Elrond looked at the door on the screen and muttered to himself, “It’s the genes of the first generation. They left it behind. The legend is true…”
