"System, you said I would awaken my ability after integrating with a body fit to become an Eternal," Aiden suddenly remembered and asked. "I've already merged with the Eternal Body, so why haven't I awakened any abilities yet?"
[Host can first look at your information panel!]
"Information panel?"
Before Aiden could think or say anything, he saw a light screen floating in front of him. There were many small words written on the light screen.
---
[Name: Aiden Wilder.]
[Race: Human (Mortal).]
[Cultivation: Level 1 Third-tier Star Warrior.]
[Special Physique: Eternal Body (Mortal) (Can be evolved further).]
[Bloodline: None.]
[Innate Ability: Moment Eternity.]
﹂ Spendthrift Function: Locked.
---
"What is Spendthrift function?" Aiden asked.
[You will know when you can become a First-tier Star Warrior. The requirement to unlock the Spendthrift function is the cultivation base of First-tier Star Warrior.]
"Ohh!"
Aiden nodded and then shifted his gaze to a particular attribute that piqued his curiosity the most.
"Moment Eternity?" Aiden muttered, and the next moment, another light screen appeared in front of him, giving him a detailed explanation for his ability.
[Moment Eternity: The user can stop time for 10 seconds. Moment Eternity will evolve each time the Eternal Body evolves. The host can use Moment Eternity only once every month. Upon complete evolution, the host will have the option to stop time forever at a single moment. In other words, a single moment can last for eternity. However, the prerequisite is to evolve Moment Eternity to its highest level.]
Aiden was shocked and joy like never before appeared on his face. This ability was too heaven-defying. He can actually stop time. Although he can stop time for ten seconds only, these ten seconds alone are enough to change the fate of a person.
Not to mention, if he could evolve this ability, at that time, to him, even a single moment could last for eternity.
What does it mean?
Let's say, someone close to him is ambushed and is on the verge of death. At that time, he could use the Moment Eternity and stop time completely to that moment and use that single moment to look for ways and save that closest person.
A single moment can change the fate of people.
Moment Eternity... it really is an extremely powerful ability.
Aiden was slightly dissatisfied with the fact that he could use this ability only once every month, but he knew he could not ask for more. It's already a marvelous ability. On top of that, if he can use the Moment Eternity as many times as he wants, then it'll be simply too broken.
As for why such thoughts appeared in his mind, he had no idea. Looks like, after the integration of Eternal Body, he has also become smarter and can think things thoroughly.
Another thing that sent a wave of happiness in his heart is the fact that he has already become a Third-tier Star Warrior Level 1.
It was no wonder he could feel his body becoming stronger than ever before. Aiden had never experienced this kind of vitality, but now, he felt as though he could run for hours without tiring.
It was important to remember that Aiden had been malnourished ever since his father abandoned him and his mother. Back then, he could barely walk for half an hour without feeling exhausted. But now, he felt as if he could run endlessly.
The difference was obvious.
Taking a deep breath, Aiden suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked around, and expressed his gratitude to the system.
"Thank you, system. You don't know how happy I am right now. With your help, I can finally walk on the path of strong. I believe I can also take revenge for my mother's death very soon. Thank you!"
[You are welcome, Host.]
[Host, always remember, this is the Land of an Eternal, and it is also one of your destinations. As for what I meant by these words, you'll know in the future.]
"Destination?" Aiden muttered in his heart and noted it down, then looked at the Land of Eternal where there was nothing but an endless plane grass field.
[Host, please prepare to visit another dimension and start the first space traverse. Please note that you only have one year to live in that dimension, and even if you die there, you'll not be harmed the slightest in reality.]
"What, so soon?"
Aiden was surprised. He didn't expect to get an opportunity to visit a different dimension so soon.
A small resplendent vortex, the size of about two meters appeared in front of Aiden. Aiden felt an extremely strong sucking force enveloping his body, sucking him inside the resplendent vortex before he could even resist.
...
It was early spring, and the cold winter had just passed. The warm sunlight was shining down and the snow on the houses' rooftops in Fresh Breeze Town had slowly started to melt.
The Fresh Breeze Town was located at the border of the Light Wind Empire.
Around the Fresh Breeze Town, there were also tens of small and large villages. Although in the eyes of a Light Wind Empire, the Fresh Breeze Town was as small as a grain of rice and could be ignored, in the hearts of every villager, it was a "colossus".
Fresh Breeze Town covers dozens of miles. It is an extremely lively town, bustling with people.
In Fresh Breeze Town, there were three influential families. Various taverns, teahouses, and shops were under the control of the three Great Families, and they were all in charge of managing the entire Fresh Breeze Town.
The Olsson family was one of the three Great Families. Among these three great families, only the Olsson family had a forbidden land called the Valley of Death.
Actually, there is a rumor that Fresh Breeze Town used to be the land of a very big force in the past. However, something happened, and that force disappeared.
After thousands of years, Fresh Breeze Town was established.
The Valley of Death used to be a forbidden land of that force, however, after the establishment of Fresh Breeze Town, the Olsson Family took over this forbidden land with the intention of exploring it.
Unfortunately, even after thousands of years, the Valley of Death was unexplored.
It is not that no one went to venture inside. It is just that, no matter how many people the Olsson family sent inside the Valley of Death, none of them returned.
Generation after generation, the will of the Olsson Family to explore the Valley of Death started weakening, and for the past three generations, the Olsson Family truly considered the Valley of Death as a forbidden land that no one is allowed to go to.
In the depths of the Valley of Death, there was a small lake. Layers of cold air floated above the lake.
In the sky above the cold air, dense white fog was blocking the view of the sky.
Only a few naughty rays of moonlight passed through the thick white fog and landed on the surface of the lake.
Everything around them was dark.
At the edge of the lake, there was a wet youth lying on the sand, motionless.
The young man was dressed in linen robes and looked emaciated. At this moment, his face was pale and without any trace of blood. His eyes were closed, and there were still some droplets of water on his face.
"Cough! Cough!"
After a long while, the young man who was lying quietly on the ground started to cough violently. At the same time, mouthfuls of clear water, which had a scarlet tint, came out of his mouth.
After coughing a few times, the color of the boy's originally pale face gradually changed. It recovered some of its rosiness before quietly lying down.
This young man was none other than Aiden Wilder.
After the resplendent vortex sucked him inside, he was thrown to the edge of this lake. The lake was too cold. Aiden felt his body freezing because of the cold water surface even at the edge of the lake.
