Chapter 2851: Are You Illiterate?
After Su Yang reached the location of the Supreme Dragon Emperor and the Eternal Divine Emperor, he could basically determine how much the Great World had expanded.
Earlier, Su Yang could see very clearly the distance between them. Now that Su Yang flew all the way here, he could calculate the actual distance he had traversed, arriving at such a conclusion.
Finally, Su Yang could basically determine that the scope of the Great World had expanded by approximately tens of millions of times.
This result also shocked the Eternal Divine Emperor and the Supreme Dragon Emperor to the extreme.
Although Su Yang had previously mentioned that the scope of the Great World might have increased by tens of millions of times, at the time they simply thought Su Yang was exaggerating.
But now, seeing this actual result, they could not help but believe it.
"So, does this mean our World Tree should have merged with tens of millions of World Trees?" The Supreme Dragon Emperor was filled with incredulity: "Really? Does the Land of Origin have so many World Trees?"
"It’s really hard to say how many World Trees are in the Land of Origin," Su Yang replied solemnly. His time in the Land of Origin was long, but he never reached the end of the forest there, illustrating how vast that forest truly was.
The number of World Trees within was even more terrifying; it’s entirely possible there could be tens of millions.
"Given what you’ve said, can you figure out the current distance between the Eye of Chaos and the Suffering Buddha and us?" asked the Supreme Dragon Emperor.
Su Yang nodded, not considering it a big deal. As long as the previous distance between them and the Eye of Chaos and the Suffering Buddha is known, calculating this is not difficult.
The Supreme Dragon Emperor immediately asked, "And what is this distance?"
"At our current speed, it would take roughly a year and seven months to reach the location," Su Yang said. "However, this is merely an approximate range. If you’ve got the direction right, they should be within a ten-day radius around the time I’ve mentioned."
"Are you sure?" The Supreme Dragon Emperor looked suspicious: "Su Alliance Leader, you can even calculate the approximate range? Where does your confidence come from? How did you figure it out?"
Su Yang glanced at him: "It’s called geometry and algebra; you didn’t go to school, so you wouldn’t understand!"
"What does that mean?" The Supreme Dragon Emperor asked, baffled.
The Eternal Divine Emperor chuckled: "What he means is people like you, who are illiterate, should say less, lest you embarrass yourself!"
The Supreme Dragon Emperor was immediately displeased: "Who’s illiterate? You’re the illiterate one, your whole family is illiterate!"
The Eternal Divine Emperor replied, "If you’re not illiterate, then let me ask, did you go to school?"
"Uh..." The Supreme Dragon Emperor scratched his head; it’s a demon beast, having never attended school. Besides, being one of the earliest life forms in the world, what’s there to school about?
"You’re talking as if you went to school!" The Supreme Dragon Emperor sneered: "We’ve known each other for so many years, do you think I don’t know your situation?"
The Eternal Divine Emperor responded immediately: "Don’t compare me to you; I actually attended a private school!"
The Supreme Dragon Emperor laughed: "What a joke! When did you attend school? How come I don’t know about this?"
The Eternal Divine Emperor said: "I’m called the Eternal Divine Emperor, alright? I’ve been reborn many times. During the process of reincarnation and rebirth, I also received higher education, something you, an illiterate, can’t compare with."
The Supreme Dragon Emperor was dumbfounded and, after a while, said: "Is attending school that impressive? Can we have a proper conversation? I’ll establish schools within the Demon Beast Clan myself. I’m not conceded; our Demon Beast Clan can still be better than you all!"
"Hahaha..." The trio, including Su Yang, laughed heartily; this Supreme Dragon Emperor truly cares about saving face to his own detriment.
After about five months of flight, the group encountered a glowing star.
This star resembles the previous ones they’ve seen; it also has a cave leading straight to the star’s center.
Su Yang directed Ye Wantong and the trio to leave while he entered the cave alone.
In the depths of this star’s cave, there’s a room, within which stands a Blood Shadow. However, this Blood Shadow’s form is somewhat complex and irregular, differing in essence from the previous irregular Blood Shadow, definitely not the same entity.
The Blood Shadow makes no move to attack Su Yang upon seeing him, just quietly remains standing in the room.
Su Yang also refrained from attacking the Blood Shadow, realizing it posed no threat or ill intent towards him; opting not to expend unnecessary effort.
Thus, Su Yang simply wandered around the star’s interior and left, as there was no valuable information within, not warranting more wasted time.
He rejoined Ye Wantong and the others to continue flying toward the Eye of Chaos and the Suffering Buddha.
Another approximately nine months pass, and they encounter another star.
As before, Ye Wantong and the trio give way while Su Yang alone inspects this star’s interior.
The situation within resembles the previous exactly, save for the differing shape of the Blood Shadow.
Su Yang finds no trace or clue and exits the star, continuing the journey toward locating the Eye of Chaos and the Suffering Buddha.
Finally, after one year and seven months, they arrive in an empty region.
"There’s no one!" The Supreme Dragon Emperor looks around with pride, saying, "Hey, your Human Clan’s geometry and algebra aren’t that significant after all, calculated incorrectly!"
Su Yang ignores him, waving his hand: "Let’s do a carpet search within this small range."
Ye Wantong and the Eternal Divine Emperor nod, immediately dispersing to conduct a carpet search of the vicinity.
The Supreme Dragon Emperor flies over to Su Yang: "Su Alliance Leader, this search is also a waste of effort. I think you made an error with your calculations; how about letting me calculate it?"
"Oh, quit it!" Su Yang rolls his eyes: "Continue searching diligently, quit talking; speaking to you is an insult to my intelligence!"
"You really are... fine, don’t talk if you don’t want to, but insulting a dragon with your words, times truly have changed!" The Supreme Dragon Emperor mumbles away, reluctantly beginning to conduct a carpet search as well.
Su Yang also chooses a direction to search, shortly receiving a signal from Ye Wantong.
Swiftly flying over, Su Yang and company find Ye Wantong standing amidst the Void, in front of them lie several torn spaces.
"It’s the power of the Eye of Chaos and the Suffering Buddha!" The Eternal Divine Emperor exclaims excitedly: "We calculated the distance correctly; they’re here!"
