Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1700

Chapter 1700: Chapter 1700: Forrest Middleton's Thoughts Chapter 1700: Chapter 1700: Forrest Middleton's Thoughts “The Dead River is about to disappear.” Forrest Middleton said to Ethan Smith.

Ethan's heart tightened as he hurriedly asked, “How much longer?”

“Within a month, the Dead River will vanish completely,” Forrest answered coldly.

Ethan furrowed his brow and asked, “So you… have entered the Reversion Void Stage?”

“No.” Forrest did not hide anything.

This made Ethan feel extremely uneasy.

One should know that Denton Horton was no ordinary Reversion Void Stage cultivator; his strength was far beyond that of Vince Brown.

Forrest's ability to defeat Vince did not mean he could also defeat Denton.

“Even if I am no match for Denton, I can at least exchange one for one with him,” Forrest said, as if he had seen through Ethan's thoughts.

Ethan opened his mouth, feeling somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

With Forrest's talent, his future was limitless.

If they were to trade one for one like this, it would be a shame, and that was not what Ethan wanted to see.

Although Denton was strong, his cultivation method was destined to have limitations in the future, so it was unnecessary for Forrest to trade one for one with him.

“I finally understand why so many people didn't want me to take the risk back then,” Ethan sighed.

Then he tried asking, “Have you ever thought about trying to mobilize other Reversion Void Stage cultivators?”

Forrest, however, sneered at this.

He laughed coldly, “I never thought about placing my hopes on others.”

Seeing this, Ethan couldn't say much more.

“Just wait, one month isn't very long,” Forrest laughed.

Indeed, one month was not long at all for cultivators; it was extremely short compared to a lengthy lifetime and could almost be considered negligible.

Reversion Void Stage cultivators had a lifespan of up to 2,000 years, and mighty realm cultivators had a lifespan of over 1,000 years.

“I see,” Ethan nodded, as there seemed to be no other choice for now.

After leaving Cloud Sect, Ethan planned to visit Bamboo Mountain, as Gregory Hum also entered the Reversion Void Stage not long ago

However, he was not like Salena Carpenter and Ken Middleton; no one knew if he would take action.

He arrived at Bamboo Mountain.

The place had returned to its original state. It was unknown whether this was because Gregory had stepped into Reversion Void or because of the Great Upheaval; the scenery of Bamboo Mountain had become even more beautiful.

It seemed that Gregory had sensed Ethan's arrival early on. He set up food and drinks in the bamboo forest, waiting for Ethan.

When Ethan walked into the bamboo forest, Gregory raised his palm and poured a glass of wine for Ethan.

Ethan slowly walked over and sat down in front of Gregory.

He cut straight to the chase, “The Dead River will disappear in a month's time.”

“I know,” Gregory replied.

“Forrest has not entered the Reversion Void Stage yet, and it's uncertain if he will be able to within the remaining month,” Ethan continued.

Gregory sneered, “So?”

“So… he might not be a match for Denton,” Ethan said gravely.

Gregory remained silent, waiting for more from Ethan.

Ethan had no choice but to continue, “Brother Gregory, I believe that with your strength, you should at least be able to repel Denton.”

“You want me to take action?” Gregory asked.

Ethan nodded and said, “I can't think of anyone else.”

Gregory drained the wine in his glass, then said, “With so many people entering the Reversion Void Stage during this time, how come Forrest cannot do it?”

Ethan was stunned and surprised.

Gregory continued, “In terms of talent and state of mind, Forrest is far superior to others. There's no reason he cannot enter the Reversion Void Stage with such a long time.”

Ethan furrowed his brow.

Gregory was right; for someone like Forrest, stepping into the Reversion Void Stage shouldn't be so difficult.

He couldn't enter during the time of the Great Limit, which was not due to him.

But now that the Great Upheaval had happened, it seemed like he could enter the Reversion Void Stage at any time.

“I understand now,” Ethan suddenly realized something.

He looked at Gregory in surprise and said, “So Forrest wants to face Denton in the half-step Reversion Void Stage? He wants to test his own limits?”

“Yes,” Gregory nodded.

“But the risk of doing so is too great. After all, Denton is the Lord of North Plain who has been in slumber for many years,” Ethan frowned.

Gregory laughed, “Everyone has their own Dao technique. Some people are born not to take risks or be aggressive, like me.”

“And some people are naturally drawn to place themselves on the edge of danger, even death, to experience the true meaning of life. As the saying goes, 'no destruction, no construction.'

“Forrest is the latter kind. His cultivation method is the way he approaches risks and challenges. Why should you and I worry about it?”

Ethan opened his mouth but was left speechless.

“That guy, really crazy,” Ethan said with a bitter smile.

Gregory sighed, “Yeah, he and Ken are like two extremes.”

As he spoke, Gregory changed the topic, “And you seem to be a blend of those two.”

Ethan remained silent, not denying the comment.

“Why think so much? Just eat, drink, and take things one step at a time,” Gregory patted Ethan's shoulder.

Ethan nodded, “I understand.”

After leaving Gregory, Ethan decided to follow Forrest's example by traveling the world starting at Bamboo Mountain.

However, just as he stepped out of Bamboo Mountain, a cold aura approached.

This aura was extremely familiar and came from the North Plain!

Ethan's face turned cold, and a murderous spirit burst from him, waiting quietly for the other party to arrive.

In no time, a man in a black robe appeared in front of Ethan.

“You dare come to the Southern Province?” Ethan asked coldly.

The black-robed man chuckled, “You need not worry, sir. I have come on the orders of the Godly King to deliver a challenge to you.”

“A challenge?” Ethan frowned.

The man nodded, “Indeed. The Eternal King said that in one month's time, they will fight to the death at the northern border.”

“Eternal?” Ethan's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but laugh coldly.

This vile creature's heart still covets the battle.

“By the way, I should remind you that the Eternal King has already entered the Reversion Void Stage,” the black-robed man said indifferently.

Ethan wasn't surprised, as it wasn't a difficult feat for someone with Eternal's talent to enter the Reversion Void Stage.

“Go back and tell Eternal that I'll be waiting for him in a month,” Ethan said coldly.

The black-robed man chuckled, “So, are you accepting the challenge?”

“What do you think?” Ethan sneered.

The man laughed, “Very well, I hope Mr. Smith will honor the battle agreement one month from now.”

After dropping these words, the black-robed man turned and left.

When he was gone, Ethan couldn't help but frown.

He sighed softly.

Initially, he thought the upcoming battle wouldn't have much to do with him, but it seemed he was still at the center of the storm.

“I must not waste time,” Ethan lamented.
