Chapter 2361: Chapter 2259 Illegitimate Child

Opening his eyes, Peter Brown looked at everything in front of him with immense confusion.

This was a very shabby room, with sunlight streaming through the roof and drafts coming in from all around. Looking around the room once more, Peter was even more stunned; the room was filled with ancient furniture.

Smelling the musty odor emanating from the room, Peter was completely bewildered.

What on earth happened?

Peter really didn’t know what had happened. He only knew he had entered the world of the rules of power, but at the final moment, the overwhelming force was too great. It was so immense that Peter couldn’t withstand it despite using all his strength.

However, it seemed as if, at the last moment, his Vertical Eye still played a role in keeping some of the Power of the Gold Rules at bay?

Thinking of this, Peter immediately looked towards his Elixir Sea.

But, what he could once clearly see in his Elixir Sea now only showed a thin crack, and the items inside couldn’t be taken out at all, as if they were visible yet unreachable.

Luckily, the aura that escaped from the Elixir Sea seemed to be repairing his body.

Body?

Peter remembered that his Divine Sense and consciousness were wrapped by the rules of power when he entered the path, so his body naturally remained in its original place. How could there be a body now?

Boom!

At this moment, Peter felt as if a massive force burst open his Brain Domain, and then a torrent of consciousness poured into his Brain Domain.

What on earth is going on?

Peter was entirely flabbergasted.

As time trickled by, Peter’s face was tumultuous with emotions, ever-changing.

He really hadn’t expected such a thing to occur. He had actually time-traveled!

Indeed, as Peter would say, he had truly time-traveled and arrived at a place he had never been to before; a place of unknown history.

Among the four major Families of Vastsea Nation, Windsor Family, surprisingly bearing the name Peter Brown as well!

It was indeed bewildering; Peter couldn’t comprehend the situation fully. It was intriguing to reincarnate in such a manner.

However, Peter had a feeling that perhaps he was different from others who time-traveled. Those who comprehended the Rule of Gold were likely in the same condition, but they entered Reincarnation unconsciously or without self-awareness, unlike him. He traveled because he had two types of rules of power, plus the Power of the Gold Rules, retaining his consciousness.

This meant he had far more advantages compared to those people.

Lying there, Peter really didn’t understand what he was supposed to comprehend this time?

After looking at the situation of the Windsor Family for a while, Peter’s eyes lit up. He felt he might have caught onto something; the Windsor Family was a military family in the empire. Their ancestor had followed Emperor Qin in founding the empire and had once been conferred the title of a grand duke. However, as time went by, the descendants had not been as capable as the previous generations, and the noble title had been reduced successively. Now, only a baron’s title remained.

King, Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron…

Thinking of this, Peter could only shake his head. Emperor Qin had granted generous rewards to the major Families that fought alongside him, but there was also a rule. If a Family failed to achieve significant merits to preserve their original noble title, it would be gradually reduced. The Windsor Family was exactly such a case; although the Family was large, each generation was weaker than the last. Now they only held a baron’s title, and if this generation declined further, they would not even hold onto the baron’s position.

After looking at his own information, Peter realized the owner of the body he took over was named Peter Brown, an illegitimate child of the Windsor Family, one who was not favored at all. Today, he had just been separated from the main Family.

Yes, separated, not expelled from the Windsor Family, but this separation was deadly. He was given a dilapidated house and some money and left to fend for himself.

The Windsor Family used to be large and prosperous, capable of supporting some idle people, but now it’s different. They could not afford idle people, so for an illegitimate child like Peter, there was only one outcome—to fend for oneself.

While pondering these matters, the house door suddenly opened, and sunlight streamed in.

“Brother, you’re awake?” A soft, gentle voice came from across the room, and Peter, illuminated by the sunlight, couldn’t clearly see the person’s features. However, that gentle demeanor was truly heart-wrenching.

A flood of information poured into his mind.

The family of the owner of this body had a father who was an illegitimate offspring and had married a woman from a common family. They had one son and one daughter. The father was never favored by the Windsor Family, fell seriously ill, and died early, leaving a woman to raise two children. Imagine how tough life must have been.

Even so, the Windsor Family still chose this moment to cast them out.

Thinking about it, Peter saw a beautiful girl walking toward him, her face showing joy.

So, what exactly is my situation?

After reflecting, Peter bitterly smiled again. The owner of this body was really a good-for-nothing person; the household had fallen into such conditions, yet he did nothing, spending all day indulging with some good-for-nothing friends. The result was that he got severely injured by the Harris Family’s son during a fight over a brothel girl.

If not for his possession, that person would’ve been long dead without a doubt.

Alas!

Peter let out a deep sigh.

He understood; this was a trial for him. Since he’s a child of a military family, he naturally must start from scratch, continually upgrading the noble title. Only when he reached the standard of the grand duke would this Task be complete.

Peter could even speculate that if he didn’t complete it this time, the next Reincarnation would be the same scene, with him having to complete that from-nothing-to-something setting. Otherwise, he would be endlessly reincarnating.

Having understood the situation, Peter knew he had no choice; he could only complete this Reincarnation.

Fortunately, he wasn’t without trump cards. As long as he restored his abilities, passing this challenge should not be a problem.

Recalling those who were comprehending, Peter could only shake his head. Without self-awareness, completing the Task is genuinely a very difficult thing.

“Brother!”

Kate Brown’s voice was filled with deep concern as she looked at Peter and began to cry.

Looking at this cheap sister named Emily Williams, Peter Suddenly thought of his sister on Earth, and a protective feeling emerged from his heart. All those extraneous thoughts disappeared, and Peter secretly thought, given this destiny, he might as well live this life with familial affection.
