Through eavesdropping on the conversations in the crowd, Wilbur found out that the people of Greenpeak Town had found out through the fortune tellers that the worst tragedy they had ever seen in fifty years would be coming for the town in the next few days. If the town was able to get through this tragedy, the townsfolk would come out stronger and their luck would improve. However, if they could not get through the tragedy, they would suffer a terrible fate. In an attempt to mitigate the tragedy, the entire town had pooled together money to get the help of Lord Ourea, a statue of the Mountain God. Wilbur was confused as to what this tragedy coming for Greenpeak Town could be. Was it the Night Demon? If the tragedy to befall upon the town was the fifth Night Demon, Wilbur was going to stay here to help the townsfolk get rid of it. Despite the fact that the seal on his chest had opened up, Wilbur at least knew that the Dark Lord would not harm him in his battle against the Night De
Just then, a belt of lightning lit up the sky. It was followed by a deafening rumble, causing Wilbur to look up in terror. Dark clouds were gathered in the sky as if the end of the world was coming. "Dark clouds!" A manic smile spread across Wilbur's face. "It was the Night Demon! The Night Demon killed these people!" White light flashed all of a sudden, and Nightless Elder appeared behind Wilbur. "Don't you understand yet, Wilbur? You killed all the people of Greenpeak Town." "What?" Wilbur whipped around to face Nightless Elder. "What are you doing here, Nightless Elder? How could it be me? No, no, it couldn't be. It's the Night Demon, the Night Demon killed the townsfolk." Nightless Elder looked at Wilbur frostily. "This is my dimension. It's only natural that I can appear wherever I want. And you're right. The Night Demon did kill the townsfolk." Wilbur heaved a sigh of relief at the words, but Nightless Elder proceeded to say something that shocked him to his core.
"That's not what I'm talking about. The people of Leafy Village, the fishing village, Gemglass Village, and now Greenpeak Town. They either died at your very hands or died because of you. Do you think that your life is greater than theirs?" "I…" Wilbur blinked at Nightless Elder for a moment before saying, "You're right, Elder. All those villagers and townsfolk died because of me. It's all my fault, all of it." Despite the fact that the snake man and the Dark Lord had been the ones killing these people, Wilbur still played an undeniable role in their deaths. Nightless Elder was now here to have Wilbur face the truth, who then let out a sigh as he watched the elder leave. Every last bit of regret and hopelessness in Wilbur vanished as he said, "You're right, Nightless Elder. I, Wilbur Penn, owe my life to these innocent people. A real man owns up to his mistakes. These people died because of me, so I'm going to avenge their lives with my own." The power of light expanded al
"What the…" Amidst Wilbur's confusion, the air was filled with the chatter of people. Wilbur's eyes lit up, and he scrambled to get up before rushing out of the temple. He was greeted with the sight of a street bustling with people and grinned as he reached out to touch a man's face. The man moved out of the way, frowning at him. "What the hell are you doing?" "It's real! You've been brought back to life!" "What are you going on about? I don't know what you're saying…" The man turned to leave when an old man guarding the Mountain God Temple walked up to Wilbur and handed him a letter. "Congratulations, Mister Penn. You've passed the test. This is a letter from Nightless Elder, who wants you to see him right after you read the letter." "Okay. Thank you, sir." The old man walked away, and Wilbur opened up the letter. Upon reading it, he finally understood that the Eternal Sunshine Dimension was one that could be revived. Its inhabitants were not real people at all. Nightless
With the goal of population control in mind, there was a strict system set in place for the people in the towns of the middle dimensions. This was why most people who were sent to the middle dimensions usually ended up in Buck Town or the two other bloodthirsty main towns. Out of the cultivators who had landed here, there had been a dozen or so upper-dimension elites who had faced a massacre here. Some upper-dimension elites thought they would be able to return to the middle dimensions to prove their strength, only to learn the hard way that they should never, ever enter the main towns. There were a few mysterious elites stationed throughout the main towns to keep the peace and maintain the reputation there. Thus, even upper-dimension elites ran the risk of getting killed if they acted out of line in the main towns. The guard tests, maintaining the reputation of the main towns—that was all just for show. That was a place that awaited the real elites to show up, and only one out o
Wilbur took the cauldron fragment from Nightless Elder and let out a sigh. Nightless Elder raised his eyebrows, puzzled by the look of distress on Wilbur's face. "Aren't you here because of this ninth fragment of the ninth dragon cauldron? Shouldn't you be happy to finally get it? Why the long face?" Wilbur looked up at Nightless Elder. "Yes, I've worked really hard to get this last cauldron fragment, and I am happy to finally get it… but the ninth dragon cauldron was the only one to be broken back then, while the other eight were in perfect shape. However, now all of the Nine Dragon Cauldrons have been shattered, and I don't know if Senior Fremont will still want to see me. He might turn me down, and I may never learn about the secret of the dragon clan." Nightless Elder stared at Wilbur for a moment in silence before nodding. "I see. So, that's what you're worried about. Well, I might not be able to fix that for you, but I'm sure that fate is nothing short of a miracle. Things wi
"Can you just help me put in a good word to Senior Fremont? Of course, it'd be best if he was willing to see me, but if he turns me down… I guess that would have to do." Wilbur ended the call, letting out a long breath before walking to the balcony and looking down at the busy streets filled with people. Everyone was working hard for their own lives, and the people's faces bore different expressions. Some were happy, some distressed, some excited, some sad. Wilbur, who had been chasing after the secret of the dragon clan this entire time, felt a sudden wave of peace taking over his heart. He asked himself, "Oh, Wilbur. You wanted to know the secret of the dragon clan so you could take down the Dark Lord, but he's now been sealed off. The secret's not so important now, is it?" He had wanted to persuade himself, but the truth was that despite the Dark Lord being sealed off, Wilbur had not yet fulfilled the God of Light's request. Earth was still a dimension located in the middle of
The strange thing was that none of the snow on the enormous mountain range ever melted— save for the middle of it. There was a specific area on the peak of Snow Mountain Lydia, where the snow would thaw for two months every summer. Wilbur furrowed his brows. "The whole area's covered in snow, which proves that the temperature there's constantly low. Why would the snow on the mountain peak thaw for two months every year?" Something told Wilbur that Senior Fremont was most likely at the top of this snow mountain. Maybe he had learned some important lesson there and had been cultivating there ever since. Wilbur wasted no time packing up before flying up north toward Veltris. Within half an hour, he had arrived at the Snow Mountain Lydia range. He stood atop a pile of snow, looking around before flying towards Snow Mountain Lydia. Wilbur began to sense Senior Fremont's energy aura and made a beeline for the peak. Wilbur saw Senior Fremont standing there from afar. Two golden drag
