Chaos Devourer System - Chapter 161

Chapter 161: True Intent Behind The Celestial Titans Cultivation Ruins
“Firstly, the celestial Titans Cultivation Ruins will only be accessible to the EIA and the Nine families. That means no outsider would be presented…” Old Man Mang began.

“Well, sounds great…” Quinn said without a care.

“It is not. With no outsiders going there. It means you’ll be competing with the greatest genius in the entire world.

Imagine a pack of huge snakes packed into the same cage, for a week. What do you think will happen?

And also, with outsiders not present, whatever happens, there stays only in the ears of the EIA and the Nine families…”

“Hmmmmmm,” Quin’s eyebrows furrowed a little on hearing that.

“That’s the first, secondly. Here’s a secret going around the place. It has been almost a hundred years ago that the cultivation of Ruin opened last. This means the current Patriarch of each of the nine families is ‘old’ and would now be looking for a successor.

Surely, their successors would be the ones who managed to get the most reward and strongest after the event and the Voidspace family is no exception.

Quinn, the family might look like it ignored you and looked down on you, but there’s something we don’t ignore Quinn, or should I say can’t ignore…” Old Man Mang said giving him a firm look.

“Power…” Quinn murmured.

“Yes, power. So far you have enough power, then you’ll be able to vie for the position of the patriarch. Imagine if you managed to become the next patriarch, rescuing your mum would be even simpler.

Just numb the world with your accomplishments and the entire world will call the Voidspace family a fool for abandoning such a phenomenal genius like you. I’m sure the Voidspace family isn’t that stupid too and will think about it. Wherever that goes, it’s only a good thing for you don’t you think…” Old Man Mang said winking at him who was struggling to keep up his straight face but couldn’t help it as a sinister smile broke out on Quinn’s face.

Now when he thinks about it, there is a type of sense in that. What would happen if his family who looked at him and called him trash were suddenly on their knees just to take him in? It’ll definitely be a great comeback.

“But that also caused another important mishap. With the successors of the family being the potential next Patriarch. You genius have great dreams and being the patriarch is the greatest of all. That means you all will go all out in this event, and when I mean all out, then even crippling each other or trying to limit each other strength as much as possible is a good possibility.

Can you imagine what will happen if you’re pitted against your brothers, Quinn?…”

Quinn’s eyes narrowed dangerously on hearing that. He could remember the terror of his brothers.

“What level of Cultivation are they at now…” Quinn asked heavily.

“They’ve been at the Middle Meteor rank stage for some time now, I’m sure they should have even broken through to the next rank but all of them are trying to breakthrough in the Celestial Titans Cultivation Ruins.

You are at the Early Meteor rank which is very great but also not. Thankfully your brothers don’t know you’ll be joining this event so whatever their planning won’t include you, the anomaly. This buys you time!” Old Man Mang said.

When the patriarch gave him the invitation to choose a single person to join in on the expedition, they thought it might be one rising star in the family, never would they have thought it was actually the lost long Quinn.

“Thank you for keeping the secret, Old Man Mang,” Quinn said bowing his head. He knew Old Man Mang could choose to tell everyone but he already promised to keep it a secret until the events arrived.

“It’s nothing. With that explained, let us talk about the relationship between the Nine families and EIA. It is said that the EIA is allowed a single spot for entry, unlike the NineFamiliess which has more than 5 slots. Do you know why, Quinn?” Old Man Mang asked to which Quinn looked on blankly.

“When the celestial Titans Cultivation Ruins were opened, a total of ten people joined the expedition, the current nine patriarchs of the nine families and also a single person who was the one that created the EIA, but that person has seemingly disappeared after the war with none knowing of his whereabouts, not even the patriarchs of the Nine families. Do you know the underlying implication of this?”

“Hmm”

“This means, technically, the EIA is not on the same leg as the Nine families. Only another patriarch can go toe to toe with a patriarch, and the Nine families have been able to keep each other at bay, ensuring the Nine tigers can live together on the same mountain.

But what about the EIA which had lost its patriarch? That’s why when the EIA have their slots reduced, they couldn’t complain of unfairness because there’s no longer power behind them, and I’m sure the Nine families would want to keep things that way.

To avoid any mishaps, I’m sure the person that would be representing the EIA this time would either be immediately crippled in order not to grow at all. Or be bonded in chains till the event finishes so the EIA would remain weakened…” Old Man Mang said to which Zeras gave an unbothered shrug.

He had no business with the unlucky fella who got thrust in this, so he didn’t care at all.

“And also Earth now has technically, Nine tigers on the same mountain, which doesn’t sound good no matter what angle you look at it from.

What would happen if the baby cubs of some tigers were killed, that would mean no future successors after the big tiger dies and the mountain will contain lesser but stronger tigers as time passes. Have you picked on what I’m insinuating…” Old Man Mang said rubbing his forehead in exhaustion.

“I…” Quin was slightly confused but his eyes soon widened.

“That..”

“Yes. The Nine families don’t like that its nine. They want to reduce that number, they all want it be one. This means, your brothers aren’t the only thing you have to watch out for in this event Quinn. You have to watch out for the genius of other families. Especially the genius of the 1st and second family. Believe me, Quinn, those people are not geniuses but simply abominations that shouldn’t exist.

Imagine when that word comes out from someone like me. And I’m pretty sure if you’re killed in this event, then no one would mind. The family won’t since they’ve kinda believe you’re ‘dead’ in the first place. So most probably, the genius would have no problem first taking you, the weakling, out before focusing on your brothers.

There will be no friend to support you at all in this event. You’re completely on your own, and right now, your chance of survival is less than 10%.” Old Man Mang said with a downtrodden expression and Quinn’s eyebrows were furrowed in slight worry.

He would have scoffed if anyone told him this but this was Old Man Mang!

“But I won’t come all the way here just to tell you to participate in an event that is basically your death sentence, would I?” Old Man Mang said with a smile as he brought out two books that made Quinn’s face pale in shock.
