The Invincible constitution : Rise of the Supreme One

Chapter 43: King's offer

The soft glow of dawn embraced Eli Shan as he appeared on his bed, his surroundings revealing the lateness of the hour. "I'm running behind schedule; I must hurry now," he muttered to himself.

Springing on his feet, he swiftly changed his attire and bolted out of his quarters.  The passageway, once bustling with crowd, was filled with loneliness now. Looking around, as his eyes fell on Feng Qiang's door, a fleeting thought of informing her about his imminent departure to the palace crossed his mind, but on second thought, he was uncertain about what would happen after meeting the king. He didn't want to make others worry for him. After pondering for a moment, he decided to keep it to himself and quietly made his way towards the palace.

Exiting the arena swiftly, he spotted the tall towers of the palace not far away. Initially, he thought about asking around for directions, but the sight of the grand white towers made it clear where he needed to go. "Sigh, one day I'd like to live in a place like that."

He walked through the bustling market crowd, looking at the expensive artifacts and pills on display. Amidst the vibrant spectacle, a peculiar green pill encased in a glass jar caught his eyes. "This pill feels different than any other in this market," Eli Shan murmured, looking at the pill intently.

The seller, noticing Eli Shan's interest, hastily stood up and called out, "Sir, you have got some discerning eyes. This pill here contains the sign of law of nature."

In genuine curiosity, Eli Shan inquired, "Law of nature?"

The seller sized up Eli Shan from toe to head, a condescending smirk playing on his lips as if he were scrutinizing a country bumpkin. "Sir, you don't know the law of nature?"

Eli Shan shook his head, admitting, "No, I don't"

With a knowing nod, the seller began to enlighten him, "I believe you know about the unique forces like world force, the law of time, and the law of space, right?"

Eli Shan nodded, "Yes, I'm familiar with them."

The seller continued, his nod confirming Eli Shan's awareness. "These are all unique forces that are nearly impossible to comprehend. Throughout millions of years, only one or two prodigious geniuses manage to grasp them."

Eli Shan was taken aback by this revelation. While he knew these forces were beyond the understanding of ordinary individuals, but he didn't know it was this much exaggerating.

The seller, wearing a mysterious smile, continued, "There is not a single power that couldn't be comprehended by a human, no matter how much exaggerating it is, except... the law of nature! The origin of creation and destruction! The most formidable power of all time!"

Eli Shan whispered in disbelief, "Power of creation and destruction?"

The seller nodded solemnly, "Yes. It is said that creation, life, and destruction originated from the power of nature."

Eli Shan nodded in understanding and questioned, "If what you're saying is true, then why does a normal seller like you have such an important pill? And why are you treating it as if it's an ordinary pill?"

The seller sighed, approaching Eli Shan and whispering, "Because if others were to discover this pill, they would kill me to snatch it."

Eli Shan took a step back, casting a wary gaze at the seller. "You're trying to swindle me, aren't you?"

The seller met Eli Shan's eyes and replied earnestly, "No, I am not."

Eli Shan shook his head, "Even though I don't know much about the power of nature, I understand the basics. The power that created everything exists everywhere, in every place. Every pill needs this power to be created. It's just that your pill has an exceptionally high amount of this power, which is why I was examining it closely too."
