My attributes are increasing infinitely - Chapter 330

Chapter 330: Competetion
Ethan started walking in the direction his system instructed him to go.

He was enjoying the scenery as he walked. There was a river the size of a galaxy in front of him.

The water was crystal clear and looked immensely beautiful under the night sky.

“Can anyone from the origin family come here and cultivate as much as they want?”

[No. A single person may come here only once in their lifetime to challenge the tower, and they must be a peak-tier 27 lifeform.

After arriving, they may cultivate here for six months, then they must challenge the Ascension Tower. Whether they succeed or fail, they will not be allowed to come here again. They may return as a guardian with another candidate, but to do so, they must be at least a fifth-dimensional being.]

“That makes sense. So, in a sense, those guardians are the real winners, right?”

[No. One guardian may only come once. That is the main issue. Though countless geniuses may be born in origin families, they do not have enough guardians to send everyone here.

No origin family would willingly send their children to die here alone, but some unyielding ones still come and perish. One more thing: killing is totally allowed here, but only candidates may take action. No guardians may act.]

“Then what is the point of sending a guardian if they cannot act?”

[They cannot attack others, but they may use barriers to protect their people.]

“Oh,” Ethan muttered.

Yumiko was doing her best to make Ethan as knowledgeable as possible.

“Okay, I understand,” Ethan said calmly and began crossing the river. But as soon as he tried to fly, he could not.

[No one is allowed to fly here, except the origin beings.]

“You should have said that earlier,” Ethan muttered, becoming speechless.

He then created a boat with his creation ability and boarded it.

Even at its superfast speed, it took two days to cross the river.

Ethan descended onto the ground on the opposite side.

As soon as he arrived, he saw many young men and women cultivating there.

Each person had a guardian standing behind them.

Ethan looked at their power levels and instantly felt his eyes nearly pop out.

Those guardians were all tenth-dimensional beings or higher.

But that was not the main concern. The true shock came from the power of the young people cultivating there.

Each of them had a power level similar to a fourth-dimensional being without any seals.

“How the heck did they become so powerful? Do they all have systems?”

[Master, they have the bloodline of an origin being running through their veins. When someone ascends to a higher realm, their bloodline ascends as well, granting everyone in their lineage enhanced power.]

“Who is this young man? He does not look like someone from an origin family,” one of the guardians asked.

“Maybe he is a lucky star?” another replied.

“No way. I heard the last lucky one to enter this realm did so eons ago, and he has already entered the realm of an origin being.”

“Hey, when can I challenge the tower?”, Ethan asked.

[You may challenge it right now if you wish.]

“Then what are we waiting for? Tell me the process,” Ethan said eagerly.

[Master, simply shout loudly that you want to challenge the tower. They will teleport you directly there.]

Ethan positioned himself to shout.

“What is he doing? Does he want to challenge as soon as he appears here? Does he not understand how precious this place is? Does he not know the rules?”

“Young friend, are you going to challenge the tower immediately? Do you not wish to cultivate here first? Your power could be boosted many times over six months,” a kind-looking old man said with a smile.

“Thank you, senior, for your kind reminder. But I have already reached the pinnacle of strength in the third-dimensional level. There is nothing left for me to cultivate here. After breaking through to the fourth dimension, I will cultivate here for the next five months,” Ethan said this arrogant words with gentle smile, as success was a certain.

Because not everyone could succeed here.

“Humph, what a bumpkin. If you do not grow stronger, you will ascend only slightly and have a fragile foundation. Seeing as you are a lucky one, I offer this advice: cultivate properly here before challenging the tower. Foundation is the main thing,” another old man said coldly.

“Thank you, but I truly do not need it,” Ethan replied, preparing to call the tower again.

“This brother seems very confident. Why not have a competition with me, then?”

Suddenly, someone appeared behind him.

[Master, be extremely careful around him. He has a system too, but I cannot determine its origin. That means it is as powerful as me, or even stronger.]

Ethan’s eyes widened.

“Are you certain? Then is he destined for greater achievement than me?”

[Not necessarily, Master. I am not omnipotent. Even I was weak before the upgrade. I could have made you as powerful as the ‘Tyrant of the Fourth Dimension’ from the start with my previous power. Then you would have to cultivate on your own. But now, after this upgrade, I have broken that limit and become a true infinite system.

However, Master, there may be other entities like me who are powerful, but that does not mean their hosts will surpass you. You are special.]

“Can he sense you?” Ethan asked worriedly.

“No, he cannot. But had we met before my upgrade, I am certain your secrets would have been fully exposed,” Yumiko said teasingly.

Ethan looked at the young man, whose strength was similar to a fourth-dimensional level with one hundred seals.

“What are you looking at, brother? Shall we begin?” the man asked again.

“Sure, but what should the reward for the winner be?”

“We will bet our remaining time. I have five months left in this realm. If I lose, you get the five months. If you lose, just answer one question or give me your remaining time,” the young man said with a smile.

He was certain this man was not normal, but his system could not detect the anomaly. This was the first time such a thing had happened since he began cultivating, and he wanted to understand Ethan.

“Can this be done?” Ethan asked his system.

[Yes, Master. It can be done, but it must be through a competition and from different bloodlines.]

Ethan nodded.

“Sounds fun. Let us do it.”

Just as they were about to challenge each other, someone else interrupted.

Ethan’s serene, sage-like demeanor nearly collapsed with frustration. He wanted to curse loudly.

“Excuse me, gentlemen. If you would wait five more days, I would like to join the fun as well. As compensation for your loss, how about one billion origin stones for each of you? Sounds fair?” an extremely handsome man said, almost at Ethan’s level, smiling.

“I agree,” the new man said immediately.

“Alright, sounds fair,” Ethan nodded.

“Fantastic. Master Hong, please give them their rewards,” the young man said, closing his eyes again.

“Hey, I want to join too.”

“Me too.”

Soon everyone joined in. Life as the child of an origin family was usually boring, so this small competition immediately intrigued them.

There were twelve people from the origin families. Thus, Ethan and the new man each received fourteen billion origin stones.

Their guardians were speechless. Right now they had adviced Ethan for making proper foundation but now their own people wanted to do the same thing.

But each one of them had powerful foundation from the beginning,so they didn’t have to worry that much. So it might be a good chance to see who would be the winner and win all the remaining time.
