Looking at the delicate little box in his hand, Philip was silent for a moment before he opened the box. There was a stone key with a special engraving inside. Under the key, there was a note. Philip opened the note and was shocked when he saw the content! It was left by his mother! [Phil, when you receive this stone key, it means that you’ve entered Cochly Mountain and approached the stargate. The journey through the stargate is extraordinary. The stone key is the key to opening the passage. You have to keep it safe and wait until the brink of crisis before using it. Phil, if you cross the stargate and enter the other shore one day, remember my words. Be careful with everything. My good boy, I’ll always be proud of you.] The content was very brief, but Philip’s hands trembled, and his eyes were blurry upon reading it. It was something his mother left behind. The stone key was actually the key to the passage in the Larson family’s secret vault. In other words, this was
Philip came back to his senses and stared at his chest in disbelief. This ancient sage's secret treasure had never acknowledged him. Although he could bring it around freely, it was also because he had Emperor Kai’s Token with him. Now, under Blackie’s intimidation, this little thing had finally acknowledged Philip as its master. Then, Blackie bared its fangs and circled Philip. It sat on the floor and jerked its head up at Philip as if showing off. Philip smiled and said, “Thank you, little one.” With that said, Philip turned around and left. After Philip left the Death Canyon, he finally looked back. That altar gave Philip a very uneasy feeling. After returning to the dormitory of the training camp, Fennel and the others also returned with no serious problems. The doctors of Cochly Mountain and those special drugs healed them very quickly. “You’re back. I heard that you went near the stargate. What did you see?” Fennel asked. Philip told Fennel what he saw. Fennel
Philip was too familiar with this silhouette which had appeared in his dreams countless times. It was Wynn Johnston, his wife! Philip walked over quickly and shouted, “Wynnie, is that you?” The graceful woman turned around with a gentle smile on her lips. She looked at Philip in front of her with tears in her eyes and said, “Philip, it’s been a long time.” The moment Philip saw Wynn, he hugged her tightly and said, “Wynnie, promise me, don't leave me again!” Wynn nodded in Philip’s arms and replied, “Okay, I promise.” At this moment, everything else in this world was not as important as Wynn in Philip’s arms. He had looked forward to finding Wynn countless times, and his wish came true at last. “Wynnie, what's going on here? Don't you have amnesia? Why are you here?” Philip had endless questions and asked anxiously at this moment. Wynn touched Philip’s cheeks and said tearfully, “I’m sorry, Philip. I’m sorry.” After she said this, an uncanny voice rang on the side
Shane smiled and said, “It’s very simple. I want you to open the stargate for us.” Hearing this, Philip immediately refused. “You must be dreaming. I can't open the stargate at all. It’s guarded by several half-steps to the other shore. Besides, I don’t know how to open the stargate either.” Shane laughed and said, “Oh, Philip, I really don't know what to say about you. You’re the key to opening the stargate. Otherwise, why do you think the Lovelace family would go through such pains to lead you to Cochly Mountain and bring you here to see me?” He was the key to opening the stargate? Philip frowned. Seeing that, Shane sneered and said, “It seems that they’ve kept a lot of things from you. Well then, let me tell you the secret about the stargate today. “The stargate is a gateway from this world to the other shore. You can see it as a sealed door left behind by some supreme powerhouses back then in order to block the two worlds. The stargate has prevented the invasion from th
Shane’s every word exploded in Philip’s mind and made him grim. This was absolutely impossible! “That’s bullsh*t! You’re just trying to confuse me and make me angry!” Philip said solemnly, and the red flames on his body were about to explode! Shane snorted and said, “Philip, why should I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can ask your father. Ask him what the origin of your Clarke family is and where your Clarke family’s door came from! “Once the news spread to the outside world, I believe it’ll cause a commotion. “The richest Clarke family actually came from the other shore. How will others view the Clarke family? And how will you face the world?” Philip fell silent. He clenched his fists, punched Shane, and said, “Shut up!” Boom! This punch did not hit Shane because Wynn stepped forward and stood in front of Shane. Philip had to retract his punch. He looked at Wynn in confusion and asked, “Why?” Wynn looked at Philip with tears in her eyes and said, “Philip,
However, the two held back with their attacks. Otherwise, this cave would have collapsed! “Since you refuse to work with me, I won’t force you, but you must complete the task of opening the stargate for the Lovelace family. Otherwise, Wynn will stay in the Lovelace family for the rest of her life!” Shane said coldly. This was a warning! Philip scowled and said, “If the Lovelace family dares to do this, I’ll obliterate you!” “Hehe.” Shane sneered and said, “You don't have the strength and qualifications yet. With your current strength, it’s a fool's errand to want to obliterate the Lovelace family.” Philip’s expression darkened as he said, “The day will come.” Shane scowled as a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, but he finally held back and said, “The chance has been given to you. You should make the right choice.” Philip said coldly, “The stargate will be opened in a month, and enough talents will be selected to enter the other shore for training. Hasn’t your L
Soon, Philip found Marquis Fulmore. “What did you say? You want to enter the stargate?” Marquis Fulmore’s face was solemn, and he looked at Philip in confusion. Philip said earnestly, “Yes, I want to enter the stargate to take a look.” After a moment of silence, Marquis Fulmore said, “Okay, I’ll show you.” After saying that, Marquis Fulmore took Philip and Fennel through the Death Canyon and arrived at the vast land where the broken walls and ruins came into view. The altar stood right in the middle. Marquis Fulmore led Philip and Fennel to the altar and used special means to open the altar, which was a deep and dark abyss. As they stood above the altar and stared at the abyss under the altar, they could feel the terrifying vibes that wafted over them. It was a bottomless pit that leaked heart-pounding pressure. Marquis Fulmore jumped down, and Philip and Fennel followed suit. After almost half a minute, they finally landed on the ground. Philip looked around the
“That's an extraterrestrial beast that came here from the other shore through the stargate. The bones of every beast you come across were taken in exchange for our human predecessors’ lives and blood. If not for them, those beasts would have rushed into the outside world and wreaked havoc long ago.” After Marquis Fulmore finished speaking, Philip and Fennel were filled with emotion. Especially Fennel, who had been here before. He had fought and trained here, so his feelings were more unsettled. Marquis Fulmore turned around, looked at Fennel, and said, “You should know better.” Fennel took a deep breath and said, “Yes, I once went through a bloodbath here, and nothing has changed, except for more tombstones.” Marquis Fulmore sighed and said, “Three years ago, a small riot happened here. A few extraterrestrial beasts trapped in the abyss escaped and caused some casualties. They were all heroes.” After saying that, Marquis Fulmore continued to walk forward with Philip and Fen
Other members of the family had been so pampered that no one could fight Ronan either. All of them were sent flying, and some of them hung on the tree miserably. Philip laughed at the scene. These people had always treated Ronan as a pushover when, in fact, Ronan was a force to be reckoned with. None of them was a match for him. “I know that other than my uncle, some other people were also involved in harming my mother, but I don’t know who they are. You'd better hand them over or no one will leave this place alive today.” Ronan’s killing intent was very intense. He was clearly very angry. Everyone panicked and looked around carefully, at a loss for what to do. They saw the fear in each other’s eyes. The family head had taken Ronan's uncle and some other people to a city. It was difficult for them to find a decision-maker when the elders were not around. The instigator from back then was not around either. Who else could they look for? “Calm down. This matter has nothin
Ronan’s uncle did not hesitate to force his elder sister to her death just to kick the most promising descendant out of the family. This grudge was unforgivable. Everyone laughed at Ronan’s audacity to seek revenge. Only a fool would dare to do that. “Do you know how powerful your uncle is?” “Although he’s not here now, he’s not someone you can afford to mess with.” Everyone mocked Ronan without taking him seriously at all. “Did you hear what I said?” Ronan scowled. These people kept disregarding his request and paid no attention to him. He felt very upset. “Since you won’t hand him over, I’ll beat you until he appears. If he’s not here, other people can take his place.” He knew that his uncle was quite powerful and would often go to other towns or cities for networking. While it was true that he might not be around, it did not mean that Ronan would not make trouble for the others. Everyone looked at Ronan arrogantly, waiting to see what Ronan would do. Suddenly, Rona
The guards were taken aback by Ronan’s sudden arrogance and looked at him doubtfully. “What’s up with you? Do you want to take action?” “After all these years, have you finally decided to avenge your mother?” They kept taunting Ronan without realizing how angry he was. “I repeat—I want to see the people who forced my mother to her death back then!” Ronan stomped his foot in anger and glared at everyone around him. The guards were startled because they finally felt Ronan’s strength with that stomp. They did not expect him to be that strong. Maybe because of Ronan’s fury, they finally realized his might and quickly scrambled into the manor. Philip saw the name on a plaque—Claude Manor. The place looked pretty imposing, and Philip felt a stab of longing as he looked around. Philip stood without a word. His main objective was to help Ronan. The guards ran away in a panic. They knew that Ronan was going to make things difficult for them. “It’s bad. Ronan is at the door
The man could not resist because he was alone. Next time, he would bring more people to deal with Philip. Philip saw his resentment but took no notice of it. No matter how much he resented Philip, he would not survive tonight. Such an arrogant and domineering person would not live to see the sun tomorrow. “Y-You hit him?” Ronan looked at Philip in disbelief, shocked that Philip would stand up for him. Although he usually appeared simple and kind, he was not a fool. He knew that Philip hit that guy to protect him. “If you meet such people again, just fight them and don’t worry about unnecessary things. You don't want to fight because you’re afraid of losing the right to enter the town, but you’re my brother from now on. “I can take care of your wine supply, and we can find other ways to make money. You don’t have to waste your efforts and live under someone else's roof anymore,” Philip said arrogantly, not taking these people seriously at all. Hearing that, Ronan nodded with
A man stepped forward at this time. “Ronan, have you completed your task? I have another task for you. Hurry up with it! I want you to hunt a thousand rabbits, and I’ll pay you one crystal for them. What do you think?” He had a smirk on his face. He was clearly trying to rip Ronan off. Ronan frowned. “Based on the market price, you should pay me at least ten crystals.” Hearing that, the man was unhappy. “That’s the price for a human. Who do you think you are? Giving you some money is good enough for you!” Ronan clenched his fist, and the man stepped back. “What are you doing? Do you want to pick a fight here? Once you make a move, someone like you will lose the chance to enter the town again! And you can forget about getting another task!” the other party threatened Ronan fearfully. He knew that Ronan was very powerful, but he had a good temper, so everyone always bullied him. “Is there a rule in the town that prohibits fighting?” Philip asked curiously. The smirking ma
Ronan and Philip moved forward and finally arrived at the human town. Philip looked around curiously and found that it was a large city. Humans had done quite well in developing a city. “If you’re not happy with this place, you can consider going to the city in the west. You can find many human territories nearby. I don’t know why humans are unwilling to live together but prefer to build cities everywhere!” Ronan was not human, so he could not understand it. “Although my mother is a human, I’m not. I only remember living in that hut since I was born. No other race is willing to accept me, including humans.” Ronan was embarrassed because he had scales on his body that were clearly visible at sea but not so much on land. Humans were unwilling to classify Ronan as a human because of that. Philip nodded, surprised to hear his pitiful plight. Not only did he not have his own race, but his mother’s race was unwilling to acknowledge him too. “That’s awful. Why don't you join u
“This is it, crystal! This little stone can get me a big bottle of wine! Since I’m lucky enough to meet you today, I’ll give it to you!” Ronan clearly had no concept of money. Philip took the stone from Ronan’s hand and found that it was no different from an energy stone. He tried to return the stone to Ronan, who rejected it. “I don't have much concept of money, but I know that money is indispensable if you want to go to the place where humans live. Just take it. I'm afraid that you’ll be detained if you don't have money. I was detained once before!” Philip was touched by Ronan’s words. He took out a bottle of wine from the space ring and handed it to Ronan. Although the wine was nothing to Philip, it was a rare treasure to Ronan, who had never tasted good wine. “What’s this?” Ronan curiously took the bottle of wine that Philip handed to him. He put it to his nose, sniffed it carefully, and was soon bursting with excitement. “This is good stuff! Do you want to sell it to m
“You’re not from a big family? In that case, how did you become so strong at such a young age?” Ronan looked at Rabbit in surprise too. “I thought you were from a big family, one of the best! After all, only such families have the power to capture summoned beasts for their descendants!” Obviously, Ronan had misunderstood Rabbit’s identity. Rabbit blinked blankly, wondering what Ronan was talking about. “Summoned beast? I'm not a summoned beast; I'm just an ordinary rabbit!” Seeing Ronan’s confusion, Rabbit smugly introduced himself. Although he had no idea what a summoned beast meant, it did not sound imposing, so Rabbit did not like it at all. Ronan was startled to hear that Rabbit was not a summoned beast but a creature with intelligence. He felt very powerful. “Indeed, he’s not a summoned beast but my pet. You can think of him as my partner. I’m more curious about this place.” Philip was puzzled, wondering what was going on in this world. He had not seen any towns so f
“This is the survival of the fittest! We were much stronger than them, so they were at our mercy, just like how we’re at your mercy now!” Someone stepped forward, his voice trembling as if he wanted to rebuke Philip. Seeing his timid appearance but bold attempt, Philip sneered, “In that case, I’m stronger than you, so there’s nothing wrong with killing you. You should pray that I won’t kill you in the cruelest way possible.” Philip raised his sword and killed the fish creature who voiced up. Any sign of weakness and these people would think they had a chance to survive. Ronan applauded Philip’s decisiveness and quickly joined the battle. Philip smiled at Ronan’s excitement. He simply wanted to vent. Over the years, he had been working so hard for his family and their future that he had almost lost sight of himself. He realized that maybe he should live for himself from now on. He wanted to become stronger and dominate the world. He knew that this was a real world. Although
