Chapter 799: Good News(14)
As all the seven orbs flew in different directions, Aakesh disappeared from the spot and returned to the store.

“Mummy, What was that?” A child asked his mother with fear in his voice as the sudden booming sound awakened him from his deep sleep.
The mother and father had the same terrified expressions as the voice seemed to have come straight to their ears.
The parents left their house and couldn’t help but get shocked. The entire street was overcrowded with people. All of them had fearful expressions as they looked around them.
“What is that light?” No one knew who yelled it, but the question brought a wave of silence as everyone looked at the sky. A beam of white light tore through the space, and in no time, it vanished.
‘It’s the inheritance, as the voice said,’ A woman thought as she remembered the voice’s contents after seeing the white light.
Her face turned red from excitement as she began running in the direction the white light had flown.
The women’s movement created a chain reaction as if a pebble was thrown into a calm lake. Everyone remembered the voice’s content at that time and rushed in her direction.
The crowd consisted of low-level cultivators, so none of them were able to chase the white light that had disappeared as quickly as it had arrived. After running for several miles, even the strongest in the crowd came to a stop since he couldn’t run anymore.
The man gasped for breath as he looked at the sky with utter disappointment. He imagined a future in which he had received the orb and inheritance of that powerful voice when he raced in the direction of the light.
But now that he couldn’t even reach the orb, how could he not feel disappointment for pouring cold water on his imagination?
These types of scenes were commonly seen across the Primal dimension. Hope was a dangerous yet overwhelming feeling.
The hope of getting an inheritance of someone whose voice everyone heard the weaker cultivators into a frenzy. It was especially true for those who had no way to increase their cultivation anymore. The announcement was like fuel to their ambitions, so they wanted to fight for it.
Even some Immortals attempted to chase the light in the spur of the moment. Their result was no different, as they also failed in the end.
As for the knowledgeable emperors, they understood that catching the orb was impossible, considering the strength of the voice owner.
“Is it the store owner?” A man, who was a regular to the store, mumbled as he also saw the light tearing through the space. The sun was in the sky, but even that wasn’t able to hide the light.
‘No, the store owner doesn’t seem to be the type to be this flashy with his inheritance,’ The man thought, since the store owner was known for his indifference toward others.
It was difficult for him to believe that the store owner would set his inheritance in the first place, let alone be this flashy. But for some reason, the man wasn’t confident about his own thoughts, so he decided to ask the store owner after the store opened.
Many store customers were confident about the identity of the voice’s owner, while many were not very sure, and at the same time, there were those who didn’t think of the store owner at all.
Unaware of the storm his announcement had caused, Aakesh entered the training area with Lily.
Lily only had a single training area where she went since she didn’t like training in the first place. If not for Aakesh making it mandatory for her to train with the Epochal Felines, she wouldn’t have gone there as well.
After Lily left for her training, Aakesh also chose his usual training.
Time flew by, and around an hour had passed.
The silence in the selection area suddenly broke as a space crack emerged out of nowhere. The next moment, Lily stepped out of it.
Like most of the time, Lily found Aakesh waiting for her. Keeping their traditions alive, Lily and Aakesh began discussing things about their day-to-day life in Panagea and the Primal dimension.
Time flew by, and it was finally time for the duo to enter Panagea.
Lily entered Panagea using her separate virtual portal in Aakesh’s room while Aakesh proceeded toward the portal room after the door and stairs disappeared.
Time flew by, and in no time, the time for sunrise arrived.
Aakesh left Panagea after the system alerted him about it. Some time later, the sun finally rose on the Anga continent, and with it, the store opened its door to customers, announcing the start of another fruitful day for both the customers and the store owner.
Time was like a stream that continuously flowed. Some could fasten it, while some could slow it, but only mighty could stop it.
Since there was no one of such level in the Primal dimension, it moved as it wanted.
Around fifteen months had passed since Aakesh last checked his quests.
At that time, Aakesh had believed that it would take one year at most for him to complete the quest, but three extra months had already passed over his deadline.
Since Aakesh wanted to see how much of his task was left, he summoned the quest screen.
The next moment, a blue screen containing the details of the quest appeared in front of him, and soon after, another smaller blue window popped out containing the details of the mission’s progress.

Aakesh couldn’t help but frown in frustration as it had already been three months past his believed time, and the store was still thirty-eight sales away from fulfilling the last requirement.
This quest had truly tested Aakesh’s patience.
“A few more days,” Aakesh mumbled and predicted the completion day once again.
He had a frown since the annual event for this year was also only a few days away. Aakesh could only imagine what would arrive first, the event or the completion notification.
Aakesh then waved his hands, and soon after, both screens disappeared, waiting for Aakesh to call it back again.
Time flew by, and a few more days passed in the blink of an eye. Tomorrow would be the day when the Primal dimension would cheer since the three-day event would begin.
It was time for Aakesh to close the store. He had an unusual smile on his face all day. When Aakesh finally closed the door, he couldn’t help but jump in excitement.
[Ding!]
The next moment, the system’s emotionless alert rang inside Aakesh’s head. But this time, it sounded like music in his ears.
