A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6693

Jared looked at her lowered face, and his chest softened.

He reached out, lifted her chin, and made her meet his eyes.

His smile was gentle.

"Who said you were a burden? Did you forget what I have?"

He lifted his other hand.

Light flashed.

A small black tower appeared above his palm.

The whole tower was pitch-black, covered in ancient runes so dense they seemed layered over one another. Silver light moved slowly through each mark, releasing deep space-time force.

The Pentacarna Tower.

Understanding flashed through Gwendolyn's eyes.

"You mean..."

"Yes."

Jared nodded, his voice steady with confidence.

"The Pentacarna Tower can speed up time. One hundred days inside equals one day outside. I also gained a huge amount of resources this time, more than enough for us to cultivate. And with bloodline fusion..."

He paused.

The smile at his mouth grew deeper.

"You remember how well it worked last time. If we cultivate together inside the tower, your speed will be far beyond normal. A few years inside will only be around a dozen days outside. That should be enough to push you to Golden Immortal Level Eight, maybe even higher."

Gwendolyn's cheeks turned faintly pink.

Of course she remembered.

When their powers blended and their auras moved together, her cultivation had risen quickly, and their coordination had become much smoother.

More importantly, after bloodline fusion, she had tasted what it meant to be a woman.

That feeling had been better than ascension itself.

Still, she hesitated.

"But even if I reach Golden Immortal Level Eight, the Twentieth Firmament is still the Celestial High Temple's headquarters. The Celestial Emperor is a peak Golden Immortal Level Nine..."

"That is why we need more people."

Jared's voice carried a deeper meaning.

"The Celestial High Temple is strong, but it is not a single piece of iron. And don't you want to go to the Twentieth Firmament, face that Celestial Emperor, and demand repayment for the oppression the Ice Goddess lineage has suffered all these years?"

Gwendolyn trembled.

"I..."

Her lips shook slightly.

Complex emotion churned in her icy-blue eyes.

In the end, it hardened into resolve.

"I will go."

Jared looked at the fighting spirit returning to her eyes.

The corner of his mouth lifted.

"Now that is the Gwendolyn I know."

He turned and walked toward the rift leading into the Emperorfall Expanse.

"Let's go. We do not have much time. We need to raise our strength as quickly as possible."

Gwendolyn followed at once.

Caiden and Garrick saw them heading toward the Emperorfall Expanse and froze.

Caiden hurried after them.

"Mr. Chance, are you..."

"Gwendolyn and I are going into seclusion inside the Emperorfall Expanse for a while."

Jared glanced back at him.

"You can all return home. The celestial forces here have been wiped out. No one should come after you for now."

Caiden and Garrick exchanged a look, then nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Chance. If you need us in the future, we will risk our lives without hesitation."

After that, they led their people away and returned to their homes.

Jared turned to Master Veridian.

"Old Veridian, you and your disciple guard the outside. Once I come out of seclusion, we go to the Twentieth Firmament."

"No problem. But you need to leave me some resources. I did put in work too."

Master Veridian's eyes had gone red after seeing Jared take thirty percent of the spoils.

"You are with me now. You think I would cheat you?"
