Swallowed Star (All Chapters) Volume 7

Chapter 1245: The Passing of Duan Dong River

The pond water and endless ocean water were all suspended in midair.

Duan Dong River said with a solemn expression, "When one is weak, there is still room for improvement, as he can still work hard to cultivate and achieve breakthroughs one by one. But things are different when one gets stronger. Any superior great being has to go through countless battles and fights; this is the only way to train and hone skills. For example, to become a true god—or what you all would call a universe supreme master—you will have to go through countless killings to gain extensive experience before you can finally achieve a breakthrough."

"When starting from the stage of a true god, to continue ascending, every step would entail great difficulty! Great beings are life forms who tread between life and death but eventually stand firm till the end."

Luo Feng heard him and nodded.

He agreed with what Duan Dong River said. In fact, from his perspective, to become a universe supreme master, he had to achieve his breakthrough after experiencing battles and fights in which he could hone his skills and abilities. This was how Sitting Mountain Guest and Primal Chaos City Leader had felt in the past, when they sent him out to wander and venture, to steel himself for future breakthroughs.

Universe masters, universe supreme masters (true gods)... All had to tread the paths between life and death.

"There are many talented ones, and also many determined ones," Duan Dong River said softly. "Perhaps for them, they could still make small achievements. But to truly stand on the highest peak, what great being could get there without the help of opportunities? It is impossible for a great being to solely depend on his own ability to make it to the pinnacle. The pulse of my Duan Dong River has three most important sets of lost knowledge... When you find yourself dealing with countless life and death battles, they will reduce your chances of being annihilated to the lowest possibility.

"Of course, even if you manage to escape annihilation, it does not mean that you are undying for sure. Generations of heirs from the pulse of my Duan Dong River died, one by one. Even our three generations of Ancestors are dead..." Duan Dong River shook his head. "Which is why one must never, ever take this lightly."

Luo Feng nodded, then smiled. "The powerful beings we have in our current generation cannot hold a candle to that civilization, so all is fine."

"It is not that simple." Duan Dong River gently shook his head.

"Not that simple?" Luo Feng was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"First, take a closer look at the three sets of lost knowledge you have obtained," Duan Dong River said.

Luo Feng immediately started to look more thoroughly. As the three sets of lost knowledge each contained an unbelievable amount of information, the memory transmission alone took a long time. And the memory transmission was merely the process of shoving all the information into Luo Feng's memory. Luo Feng still had to take much time to slowly read through them all.

With Luo Feng's reading speed, even studying one set of lost knowledge, Duan Mie, took more than ten days before he finally registered a change in expression.

"Found it?" Duan Dong River's expression was hard to read.

"How—how come it's gone?" Luo Feng was shocked as he turned to look at Duan Dong River. "Duan Mie was left behind by three generations of ancestors. According to the introduction of the entire set of lost knowledge, it should be massive with a total of nine volumes. Why are there only the first three most basic volumes? What about the next six? I certainly detected those within my memory, but I just cannot read them. Why is this happening?"
