Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1350
“…Is she really that important…? Even Gerald is still looking for her… Honestly, had you not misled him with the
Dead Annies back then, he would’ve already succeeded in finding her by this point!” said Yume rather curiously.
“Well of course he’s still looking for her! After all, this woman in white is one of Gerald’s women!” replied Yreth as
she squinted her eyes.
“…She’s… Gerald’s what? But… She’s already been in that coffin for at least tens of thousands of years, hasn’t
she?” asked Yume, shaking her head in disbelief.
“Well, to be more specific, her name is Zyla Lockland, and she was Gerald’s woman in his past life! Regardless, stop
interrupting me and let me elaborate before you ask any more questions! You’ll understand everything once I’m
done explaining!” replied Yreth as she rested her arms behind her back before starting to pace back and forth as
she slowly told Yume the entire story…
With her ears perked, Yume listened as Yreth said, “While I’m sure you already know that our family is an ancient
one, I don’t think I’ve ever told you about a sacred civilization that existed hundreds of thousands of years ago… It
was known as the great civilization of antiquity!”
“Back then, ancient training sects were aplenty, so there were many who were able to train themselves to achieve
spiritual enlightenment. With that in mind, plenty of great and powerful warriors were born, and they were capable

They truly were omnipotent beings!”
“However, among all of them, there was one person who trained himself to the point where not only did he achieve
spiritual enlightenment, but he was also able to become immortal! From the day he managed to achieve
immortality, he gained the ability to live both in heaven and on earth without needing to reincarnate!”
Yume found her eyes widening even more now, finding everything that her grandmother said to be both weird and
mysterious…
“Even so, the brilliance of the great civilization of antiquity was just like a meteor. In other words, though it was both
bright and dazzling, it was short-lived, and it didn’t go out slowly either. The entire civilization simply disappeared
completely without a trace one night!”
Hearing that, Yume couldn’t help but ask, “But… If the great civilization of antiquity truly did exist—and the people
back then were as powerful as you described—how could they have just disappeared or died out overnight,
grandma?”
“It was due to the holy spirits!”
“…Holy spirits…?”
“Indeed! Mind you, there were plenty of holy spirits on the earth back during the great civilization of antiquity.
However, for some unknown reason, the holy spirits suddenly began ceasing to exist! They just started
disappearing out of the blue! Without being able to rely on the holy spirits, those who were still training to achieve
spiritual enlightenment couldn’t avoid catastrophe, and their souls ended up getting dispelled. With that in mind,
without holy spirits for support, the person with the Immortal Body wasn’t able to continue maintaining his ancient
power!”
“…If that’s the case, then doesn’t that mean that all his efforts to become the most powerful person back then
were wasted? After all, even he wasn’t able to resist the catastrophe!” replied Yume.
“That’s where you’re wrong!” said Yreth with a bitter smile on her face as she shook her head.
“…I’m wrong…? Then, does that mean that he managed to avoid the catastrophe, even though he was unable to
maintain his Immortal Body?”
“That’s right. After all, he was the eternal top master during the great civilization of antiquity. Back when the
catastrophe happened, all of the great masters were incapable of even fighting back, so they either ended up dying
or fleeing if they could! That man, however, opted to undergo a supernatural transformation to deal with the
situation. Since he was proficient in several supernatural transformation techniques, he chose to condense his
primordial spirit and use an artificial reincarnation method to avoid the catastrophe. To complete that cycle, he
needed to reincarnate nine times, and this is currently his ninth. He’ll finally be awakening again in this lifetime!”
Following that, Yreth had to momentarily pause to calm herself for a moment. Once she shook the feeling off, she
then added, “The primordial spirit itself is known as the Herculean Primordial Spirit, and the Herculean Supernatural
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTechnique was something that he came up with himself! With that in mind, do you understand now, Yume? Anyone
who manages to get their hands on the primordial spirit will be able to train and achieve an Immortal Body! I’m
saying it right now that what I’m now telling you is a very big secret! Very few people in the world even know about
this!”
As Yume’s breath hastened, she then asked in disbelief, “Grandma… You couldn’t be saying that Gerald is the
primordial spirit of that top master back then, right…?!”
Watching as Yume almost fell in her shock, Yreth replied, “It is indeed. I’m also well aware that aside from our
family and the Judgment Portal, many others are trying to locate and get close to him as well!”
“Note that Gerald still has a lot of unlocked potential, and there’s plenty of room for him to further his development.
With that in mind, both our family and the Judgment Portal are truthfully fearful of Gerald. Not only do we not dare
to face him directly, but we’re also worried about hurting him too much. After all, who knows what would happen if
we accidentally frustrated him so much that his full potential and abilities ended up being forced out? With that in
mind, the only thing we dare to do right now is to capture him first! Once that’s done, we’ll slowly figure out how to
deal with him!”
“In a way, this is all a gamble, and the only option is to win. With that, I hope you finally see the bigger picture now.
Do you still think that Gerald is someone that you should be falling in love with?” asked Yreth coldly.
Hearing that, Yume could only take a few steps backward as powerlessness swept through her entire body. If what
Yreth had said was all true… Then there truly was no way for her to even come close to being qualified to love him!
