Life After Prison

Chapter 2308

According to Karl's original plan, securing first place in the tournament and acquiring the quota to travel to the Grandiuno Sacred Land was only the first part of his goal. Leveraging his past experiences in the Starry Sky Battlespace and his familiarity with the dangers lurking within, Karl intended to gain a head start on those coveted opportunities. The strategic advantage would propel him to level five paragon, thus paving the way for his journey to Midland.

However, Severin's sudden rise to fame shattered Karl's well-laid plans. The disruption fueled Karl's resentment and disdain for Severin, intensifying his resolve for future confrontation. Karl thought to himself, 'Damn you, Severin! Once I reach level five paragon, I'll settle scores with you right here in the Starry Sky Battlespace!'

The animosity ran so deep that Severin's demise was no longer enough to quell the hatred stirring within him. With that in mind, Karl hastened his flight towards the planet. Moments later, he arrived at the pool and cupped the spring water in his palms. A frown then unfurled across his face, as the water-cold and untainted-did not present any interesting features apart from its ordinary appearance.

Confused, Karl mumbled to himself, "What's going on here? It's already been several centuries. Hasn't the Lunar Dew fully formed yet?"

He was getting increasingly frustrated, and extended his divine senses to search every corner of the pool. After a few seconds, a shadow of discontent clouded Karl's face. Despite his thorough search, not a single drop of Lunar Dew could be found. "This can't be right. It's in the nature of this planet to accumulate the essence of the sun, moon, and starlight naturally. Even if someone absorbed it after the last occasion that the Starry Sky Battlespace was accessible, it should still be able to condense after several centuries...

Another unsettling thought crossed his mind. The Lunar Dew might be scarce, but under normal circumstances, it could not have been completely absent after several centuries. Karl considered all impossible scenarios and widened his eyes as he contemplated the worst possibility.

"Someone must have beaten me to it."

The idea unnerved Karl. He recalled sensing Severin's aura as he made his way to the planet, and he could not shake the feeling that Severin might have seized the opportunity. "This can't be happening! Was it Severin who snatched the opportunity from under my nose?!"This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The more he contemplated, the more convinced Karl became of the possibility. Though that had entered the wormhole at the same time, everyone would be scattered upon arrival. As far as Karl was concerned, the remote uncharted planet was incredibly difficult for anyone to discover. Severin somehow arrived at the same location despite not being aware of the Lunar Dew's presence.

Those thoughts prompted Karl to move forward swiftly and soar into the sky. He aimed to reach the next spot as soon as possible, as he yearned to know if Severin unintentionally stumbled upon the Lunar Dew or if Severin had known about the place all along.

Karl wondered if there were still any opportunities remaining for him in the present lifetime. Previously, Karl had utilized one opportunity after another to rise and become a royal paragon, thus cementing himself as a formidable force.

Following his reincarnation, his strategic focus was the Starry Sky Battlespace. If others exploited all its opportunities, then Karl's breakthrough to level five paragon would inevitably be delayed by several years even with the help of his talent.

The span of a few years was not to be underestimated-securing an earlier breakthrough to royal paragon increased his chances of reclaiming the pinnacle of power, perhaps even unlocking avenues to reach supreme paragon!

If he were unable to reclaim his former glory or ascend to the level of a supreme paragon, then his reincarnation would have served little purpose.
