"Nicholas, aren't you progressing a little too fast?"
The Earl, who was also in the Abyssal Depths, stared fixedly at the newly appeared puzzle on the stone monument, unable to look away.
"Oh? This counts as fast?
I've only integrated two puzzle pieces. I'm still one short.
Besides, even after gathering all three, wouldn't I still need some sort of opportunity to break through into mythology?"
"Do you know how long Abyssal Demons need to go from atavism to mythology... For most Abyssal Demons, atavism is already the end of their growth.
Even with exceptional talent, they would need decades of gradual comprehension, along with the support of certain opportunities.
Even compared to the Primordial Bodies standing at the pinnacle, they all spent at least five years.
Yet in just over a year, you've already passed the halfway point. Even if the final fragment takes you another year, that would still only be half the time required by a Primordial Body.
Not to mention, the quality of the puzzle pieces you obtained is absolutely top-tier."
Han Dong shrugged.
"It couldn't be helped.
Who told me to arrive in the Abyssal Demon World at such a critical moment? If my level couldn't keep up, I'd be silently swallowed by the tides of history. Simply put, I wouldn't even know how I died.
If time weren't so tight,
I wouldn't actually pursue speed. I'd probably spend more time on research.
By the way, Earl, how far are you from mythology? Can you make a rough estimate?"
"I have naturally already glimpsed the overall direction. I merely need time to accumulate it slowly."
"If this transaction proceeds according to my plan, I will surely obtain Great Contribution afterward. When the time comes, I'll try to find you a grimoire at the Mystic University
