Eternal Thief

SMSC didn’t react much when Ace took his sweet time to grab the treasures. He only thinks that Ace was so gobsmacked by the Sun and Moon God’s inheritance that he couldn’t react at all.

Nonetheless, when Ace finally stowed away all the treasures, he said with a hint of astonishment, “So, you indeed have a living storage space treasure. Now, I don’t have to worry about anything.”

Ace didn’t deny it and nodded, “It’s a treasure I got from my inheritance. Anyway, how can I leave?”

Now that he had what he had come here for, it was time to leave this place and contact Noa and Freya to find out what was happening in the outside world while he was here.

Furthermore, since the system still didn’t say anything about the map and key he got from the Union, he started to doubt that the secret treasure was really the Heaven’s Secret that he was looking for. Anyhow, he needed to unravel those mysterious conditions just to be absolutely sure.

“I’ll send you to the edge of the continent. It is as far as I can send you. After that, you’ll be on your own, and we will never meet again.” SMSC nonchalantly declared before a portal appeared in front of Ace.

Ace didn’t stand on ceremony and bid farewell, “Thank you for everything.”

“You’re keeping your promise with his holiness will be the biggest thank you could give me.” SMSC solemnly stated just as Ace was about to vanish into the portal.

Although Ace didn’t reply, he still waved his hand before completely vanishing into the portal.

Now, the space was completely empty, but the next moment, a figure made out of white light appeared. But it seemed to be losing the light particles, and twenty percent of its body was gone.

“Sigh…” A rueful yet relieved sigh escaped SMSC, “Was it really okay to do this? Handing over your hope to a thief? O’ Sun and Moon God, what were you thinking…” ｂｏ𝚟𝚕.

His lonely voice rang in the empty place, but no answer was given, and slowly, cracks began to emerge in the empty space…

Ace found himself standing in front of a shoreline as the sun was high in the sky, the sea waves were calm, and the cold, humid wind was brushing past him.

Taking a deep breath, Ace felt refreshed, ‘Well, I’m glad I didn’t have to use my precious talisman after all. Since this is the edge of the content, and I can see the clear sky and sea, this could only mean the blackness is finally gone.

‘This continent has been revealed to the world, making it the eleventh continent of the Golden Sky World. I wonder how the other powers have reacted, but they were clearly no match for the Union. Even those top figures of the four races were in cohort with the Union Leader.’ Ace scowled.

After thinking about it, Ace decided to find a deserted island in the endless sea and stay there until he completed the prerequisites of Heaven’s Stealer Mission.

Staying on the Union Continent was no longer safe for him, nor was he in a hurry to retrieve that treasure. Because he first needed someone to integrate with the bloodline stowed in the Cist.

So, staying low in the endless sea was nothing but good for him. Especially if he wanted to break through into the next realm, he couldn’t afford to alert anyone.

After deciding his course of action, he took out a treasure ship and set sail towards the west and also the direction of the beast continent.

Only now did he open his status to see the state of his laws first, as he wanted to see the fruit of his over two years of epiphany!

Ace was instantly alarmed when he saw all of his innate elements and shadow law had been increased so much. His sword law was already halfway into the Intermediate Realm of Element Law Proficiency. Now, all he needed to do was comprehend 00.99% more, and he would complete the most difficult prerequisites of Heaven’s Stealer Mission.

But then, Ace noticed another anomaly, and his eyes narrowed, ‘How in the world did my TP grow so much? Last time I checked, after I got the 100 million reward from my mission, I should have around 230 million TP, so where did these extra over 300 million TP come from?’

All of a sudden, his eyes went wide when a realization struck him, and he quickly opened the thief house status.

Ace’s eyes shimmered with disbelief when he saw Noa and Freya’s thievery count and muttered in astonishment, “Just what were those two doing while I was away?’

Even though it was he who gave them free rein to do as many thieveries as they could. He let them decide their own continents to perform thieveries so they could raise their house ranks.

But the result was something even Ace didn’t anticipate, and in these two years, they had achieved so much and earned him over 300 million TP as well.

Now, he was really interested in what those two had been up to and quickly made a call to Noa first!
