Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Only the Original Timeline
As Eren thought about it with a calm mind, he was able to come to a few important conclusions about the Nameless Professor and how his abilities worked.
"That Nameless Professor... Even if he can see anything about the future or treasures, it's only as per the original timeline."
"He most probably can't see the changes brought by me or the other Transmigrators in his world. If he could, he would have told her that the Book was going to be in the Great Demon Sect instead."
"If that's the case, his threat level goes down a little. In the original novel, I should have been dead by now. If he can only see that timeline, I might as well be invisible to his prediction."
The more he thought about it, the more interested he became in his theory. However, he also understood that it was only an assumption at this point.
He couldn't confirm anything without knowing exactly how his powers worked.
It was still a serious threat, but strangely enough, there was a smile on his lips.
"If it's a bloodline ability, doesn't that mean I can steal it if I kill him?"
He had the bloodline of the Devourer. It might not have many abilities on its own, but it held the unique advantage of being able to devour the bloodline of others.
His bloodline was like a hungry snake that could swallow every other bloodline. As long as he stole the ability, he could make it his own and use it to his heart's content.
"Even if he can only see according to the original timeline, that would still be very useful."
He had only read two hundred chapters of the Eastern Continent's novel. As for the other three novels, he hadn't read a single page.
If that ability allowed him to see the original timeline, even to a limited extent, it would still be very useful to him.
"But what if it's not because of his bloodline?" Eren thought out loud. In the last few minutes, he had gone through multiple emotions.
"What if he didn't know because of some bloodline ability? If he was a reader like me, then it would be something similar to my knowledge."
He didn't know what contents were included in the Novel of the Southern Continent.
Just like a few things about the other Continents were mentioned in Demon Lord's Ascent, there was also a small chance that these treasures were mentioned in Rebirth of the SSS Rank Hero.
"That would be the most disappointing outcome. But that would also mean that he is a Transmigrator like me."
Eren let out a tired sigh.
"Why do things have to be so complicated? He lightly patted Celeste's head who was sitting on his shoulder.
....
Half a day passed as the ship continued its long journey across the continent.
It was early morning when they neared the Demon Sect.
Under the morning glow, the Mountain Range of the Great Demon Sect appeared even more magnificent.
Archbishop Nathaniel gazed at the mountain range, but the Demon Sect itself remained hidden from view.
Though it wasn't visible, he sensed the presence of a powerful, invisible protective barrier surrounding the entire mountain range.
He could feel that it was because of this barrier, the Demon Sect couldn't be seen yet.
Almost everyone gathered on the deck, eager and anxious, as they neared the Great Demon Sect.
The Outer Disciples were looking forward to the moment they were going to be informed about their promotion to the Inner Sect.
At the same time, they were also nervous, worrying if they were even going to get selected or not. During this trip, they tried their best. They gave it their all, but they weren't sure if it was enough as per Eren's standard.
Meanwhile, Ye Liang was watching, taking a sigh of relief. Once he landed in the sect, he was going to be free of the servitude.
Only he knew how he handled this trip that only lasted a few days, especially with his penalty of laughter.
Half the people on this ship had already started considering him crazy because he randomly started laughing every day out of nowhere.
He was even thanking his stars that he hadn't started laughing when Eren and Nathaniel were poisoned. If his penalty had come into effect at that time, he didn't even want to imagine the outcome.
Fortunately, his penalty kicked in when he was mixing the poison in the wine instead.
Eren was also relieved that he was returning to the Sect. Now that he had finished the task at hand, he could focus on his own things.
He was also looking forward to meeting his Phoenix again. It has already been a few days since he left her with Zia.
By now, she should have been completely fine. He could take her back, instead of letting her live in the Alchemy Hall like an orphan.
The battleship pierced through the protective barrier and entered the Sect.
Only now did the beautiful sect that was spread throughout the vast mountain range come into sight.
Nathaniel had heard a lot about this place. But this was the first time he was actually seeing the Domain of another Overlord. He didn't want to admit it, but this place looked truly beautiful.
"Magnificent, isn't it?" Eren asked, observing the expressions of the Archbishop.
"Magnificent indeed. It's only slightly less magnificent than the Holy Empire, which in itself is quite an achievement," Archbishop Nathaniel answered. "Not bad at all."
The Battleship soon reached the Mission Hall and landed on the ground. Eren stepped out with Nathaniel and the outer disciples soon followed behind.
"Welcome back, Demonic Elder," the Mission Hall Master welcomed Eren with a teasing smile.
"Demonic Elder? What are you talking about?" Eren didn't understand what the Mission Hall Master was talking about.
The Mission Hall Master didn't explain. Instead, he congratulated Eren on completing the mission successfully with only the Outer Disciples.
Only after that, he turned to observe the Archbishop. Looking at the man's robe, it wasn't hard to guess where he was from either.
"I didn't know you were coming back with a guest..."
