Chapter 617 - Ancient World

After entering the portal, Nie Yan was sent hurtling through the river of time as countless scenes from Conviction’s history flashed before his eyes. A wealth of information flowed into his mind.

Nie Yan felt like he had transcended into a higher realm as he watched history speed by while overlooking the world from space.

So long as the player’s mind was capable of enduring, the system could impart information directly into their brain. This was Conviction’s most advanced technology.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Nie Yan regained consciousness. As he opened his eyes, the scene before him caused his mouth to gape in shock.

Nie Yan found himself standing halfway atop a mountain. As he gazed up ahead, he was greeted by the sight of a vast forest stretching out as far as the eye could see. It was almost as if he had been transported to a world of giants. The trees were over 60 meters tall with trunks so large it would take 10 grown men linking arms to fully wrap around their circumference. Their crowns were lush and dense, blocking any light from filtering through and reaching the ground below. The sky was home to all sorts of flying creatures, most of which were types of dragons.

These winged dragons were much larger than the Darkwing Dragon resting in Nie Yan’s pet space.

“So, this is the Ancient World!” Nie Yan’s eyes gleamed with curiosity. “Hmm.. I wonder where I’m supposed to go to get the Luminous Dancer class advancement quest started.”

Nie Yan swept his eyes over the landscape before him. “I can probably trigger a quest hint by fulfilling some sort of condition.”

Nie Yan discovered different rules dictated this world. For instance, he couldn’t summon Lil’ Gold. The explanation from the system was that the rank of his pet was too low to enter the Ancient World. He could still summon his Darkwing Dragon, but doing so was basically asking for trouble. The flying creatures in the air were simply too powerful. His Darkwing Dragon was just an afternoon snack in their eyes.

Apart from this, the Unknown Transfer Scrolls and Return Scrolls in his bag became useless. Their runes gradually faded away until not even a trace of magical energy could be felt on them anymore.

Nie Yan felt a deep aching in his heart. His Unknown Transfer Scrolls and Return Scrolls had become nothing more than scrap paper. He didn’t care about the latter since they were cheap, but as for the former… He couldn’t help but sigh. Fearing he would be stuck in the Ancient World for a long time, he specifically prepared more than 20 scrolls. Now they had all gone to waste.

Another person in the same shoes would’ve probably spat out blood and passed out from anger and shock. To Nie Yan, however, it was simply a bitter pill to swallow.

Nie Yan found that many of his magic related items couldn’t be used in this place. His supply of scrolls in particular took the heaviest losses. He could only hope and pray they would return to normal after he left this map.

It appeared this world had its own rules. Anything outside of its rules couldn’t be used.

“A brand new world to explore!” Nie Yan gripped his dagger. If you’re going to do something, do it to the best of your ability! This was his motto in life. As someone who returned to the past, if he couldn’t reach the apex, he would consider himself a failure.

Nie Yan entered stealth, then made his way forward.

All around him were towering trees. The dense canopy above resembled an enormous umbrella blotting out the sunlight. The forest floor was covered in lush patches of grass. It was wide and spacious. After travelling for a few minutes, Nie Yan felt the ground shake.

Nie Yan’s face paled in fright.A large monster was probably approaching. He quickly ducked behind a tree.

Looking toward the commotion, a giant dragon appeared in the distance. This land dragon resembles a giant lizard. It was over two meters tall, eight meters across, and covered in ash-gray scales. Each step it took shook the earth.
