Apotheosis

It had been a while since Geoffrey had left the Deleting Space. He only used the human language when he talked to Ziya.

That was why he was stunned when he heard the familiar language. "Pardon me?" he said, still reeling from the shock.

The man of the Elemental race smiled. "I asked if you were looking for me."

"So you... you are Elder Xue?" Geoffrey asked, finally coming back to his senses.

The man of the Elemental race nodded in confirmation, peering at Geoffrey with continued interest.

He had never thought that someone from the main world would come looking for him.

He had initially thought that only the members of the Four Spirits Sect would have access to the Deep Space. But all of them could not return to the main world, not to mention the Deep Space.

Elder Xue knew that there were humans in the chaos. But as far as he knew, they had difficulty surviving the main world. Entering the Deep Space was a different ball game altogether.

So when he came to know of an outsider wanting to meet him, he became as excited as Geoffrey was.

"Elder Xue, what happened to you? How did you end up like this?" Geoffrey exclaimed.

Elder Xue sighed and said, his voice deep and pained. "I did all this for survival."

As a creature of the fourth-grade world, it was beyond difficult for Elder Xue to survive in the Deep Space.

He had been through a lot in order to keep himself alive in this mysterious and foreign place.

First of all, he had to get used to life in the fifth-grade world, for everything here was different from the fourth-grade world.

"I spent a long time here before I got the chance to possess a man of the Elemental race. It was because of this that I was able to live," Elder Xue said. But a sudden thought occurred to him. "Are you from the chaos?" he asked suspiciously.

Geoffrey nodded in affirmation.

"Have you met..." Elder Xue's words petered out.

The only member of the human race that Elder Xue knew from the chaos was the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord.

'I bet he knows the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord. He wouldn't have been able to get here otherwise, ' Elder Xue thought.

"I've seen Kincaid," Geoffrey answered the unasked question.

"What?" Elder Xue exclaimed, but his voice soon began to tremble. "Did Master Kincaid wake up?" he asked again, excitement dripping off o

thing that Master Kincaid asked you to look for is over there. I have been thinking about how to get it all these years," Elder Xue said, pointing at the huge chimney in the distance.

"You've been here for so long and you haven't got your hands on it?" Geoffrey said, his lips pursing in disapproval.

Elder Xue didn't know how to respond to this question. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Anyone who gets that item would be able to rule the Deep Space. Do you think it would be easy to acquire it? Look at this place." He pointed at the several oval-shaped buildings in the distance. "There are also members of other races of the Deep Space in these buildings. They arrived here with the same purpose as us and that is to obtain that thing. For countless years, the six races of the Deep Space sent countless people here. None of them made it out of there alive," he explained.

"Stop bluffing. It's not that difficult. Those people died there just because they were not intelligent enough. Send me in. I can make it," Geoffrey said confidently, a tinge of arrogance lacing his tone.

Elder Xue stared at Geoffrey.

'What a cocky guy!

He has no idea what he is up against.'

But it suddenly occurred to Elder Xue that Geoffrey was different from others.

'Perhaps he can do it. Is this fate?

I gave his father the Grand Weapon Refining Method although we were in different worlds back then, and now he is here, right before my eyes.'

"Maybe," Elder Xue said calmly. "You can give it a shot. But if you fail, you will meet your death."
