Chapter 1467

Author: Celestial Clouds
The reset was a strange phenomenon that was unexplainable. There was a chance humans would discover the answer hundreds of years later after science improved, but for now, Jerome’s words left Crystal in disbelief.

“I told you it's going to be terrifying. There are a few levels to what Sir Adrian may have meant. I think he's trying to tell us something really important."

Crystal took a deep breath, astonished by this phenomenon that was beyond her imagination. "Could you please stop dangling me like Adrian usually does and just tell me what it is?"

Jerome reached out, moved the pen holder aside, and replaced it with a mug. "See what I just did?"

Crystal stared at the cup, then came to a realization. "Are you saying that…"

"That's what Sir Adrian means. He's trying to tell us that whatever happened to the Uduma Desert wasn't natural."

This was a terrifying theory.

"But that's just your assumption. Are you seriously telling me that there’s a person behind all this? Do you have an

    "Does such a person truly exist? Are we just ants in their eyes?" Crystal mumbled.She had assumed that becoming the monarch would be the epitome of humanity, but now, something even more fearsome has emerged.Thanks to his excellent deductive skills, Jerome said, "Sir Adrian probably knows something we don't. More accurately, he may have witnessed the reset and is trying to tell us someone is controlling all this from behind the scenes. This person is controlling us and the lives of all living beings in the world.”Crystal looked at Jerome in a daze and asked, "A person?"Jerome nodded. "We could probably identify him as the Creator.""The Creator?” Crystal trembled from disbelief, wondering if everything she had just heard was true. "If this Creator exists, that means they would just have to think about it and our world will turn to dust.""Judging by the current situation, this person doesn't seem able to reset the entire world as of now. They probably need to expend a lot of

    The situation was now unthinkable, beyond imagination, even. The conversation came to an end since neither had a solution.After a moment of silence, Jerome said, "We shouldn't let anyone know about this to avoid chaos. I think Sir Adrian is coming up with a plan.”Crystal nodded. "That I know."Jerome returned to Wyvern Peak, pretending that nothing ever happened. ***Five days passed in the blink of an eye.Adrian stood on the balcony of his hotel in Sans City, quietly looking out at the horizon. It had been ten days since he left the Uduma Desert. He dared not return to Novemton out of fear it would be reset. After he entered Enigma City, obtained intel, and witnessed it being reset, Adrian was sure the Creator was onto him. That person was looking for a chance to kill him. If he were to return home, the Creator might reset all of Novemton as a means to kill him.This would be catastrophic for Novemtoners, and something that Adrian could not bear to see.Since he was not

    "I’ve been thinking about it, and I believe the only thing that can be done right now is to go through our database and see if there are any records on this person. We need to find a way to get to the truth and their location.""What's a database?" Rozi asked. "That’s a little difficult to explain, but it’s related to computers. The database is our only chance at finding out who this person is, even if the info is scarce."Rozi was clueless about the world. She had not left her room over the past ten days as she found everything outside mysterious and hard to accept. For example, she felt awkward over how open women in Rondom were, including the revealing clothes they wore. Because of this, she had chosen to stay in her room. Adrian did not mind any of this. What he wanted to do was go through the database for more intel. He believed there had to be someone who knew more about the Creator. At that moment, Adrian's phone rang. It was a call from Mya in Swallowston. He had inform

    The disappearance of the girl from Utoms Village seemed related to the disappearance of the Uduma Desert.Adrian came up with a theory. If the Creator was controlling everything and had the power to reset all memories, time, and living beings, they would have done so a long time ago. Humans, unable to apprehend such events, simply thought of them as unresolved mysteries. So if such mysteries were to be gathered, would they show that the Creator was behind it all?The fact that this person had reset the Uduma Desert must mean that something similar had happened in the past. It could have been a single person or an entire area. In any case, it would not be difficult to understand how the reset worked if it had already happened before.Utoms Village was to the Northwest of Rondom. The village was blessed with warm weather all year round, so the top occupation in the village was farming. Information about the Utoms farms could be found all over the Internet. Adrian and Rozi headed ove

    But Rozi was afraid to ask Adrian the questions she had on her mind. After all, she would not know where to go if Adrian was not guiding her.To modern people, Rozi was an ancient relic that should have died a long time ago. Yet, she was still alive and kicking."You said you know of someone who was changed by the meteorites like me. Strider, was it?" Adrian nodded. "He's an apprentice of mine. He's nineteen this year and has gone through similar changes as you. There might come a day where he’ll fall asleep for more than a thousand years too.""The meteorites still exist… The thought of that is terrifying. Can I meet with Strider if chance allows?""Sure, I'll arrange a meeting with him after we've gathered some info."Rozi turned to gaze out of the window.Sensing what might be on her mind, Adrian asked, "Are you wondering what became of your country?" Rozi had not expected Adrian to figure out what she was thinking. She nodded and said, "Yeah. I don’t know what happened af

    The pair soon arrived at Utoms.The village’s fields were planted with all manner of fruits and vegetables, and farmers were busily tending to the plots. There was a shed built above the grasslands near the farm, with a tractor parked outside. A middle-aged woman was cutting down the overgrown grass outside the shed when Adrian pulled to a stop nearby."We're here.""Can I change out of this damn thing?" Rozi tugged at her dress. Most womenswear of this time had pretty low necklines.Adrian smiled wryly, "You'll get used to it."Rozi frowned and stepped out of the car.The middle-aged woman looked at them curiously as they approached. Adrian walked up to her and said, "Excuse me, ma’am. We're from Novemton and would like to meet this farm's chief."The Navillian in Movia was slightly different from that in Novemton, but the woman could understand what Adrian was saying."You're a Novemtoner?" Adrian nodded. Rozi blushed when she saw the woman sizing her up. She placed her

    “He went mad?" Adrian was startled by this unexpected discovery. Michelin sighed. "He did. Since the local authorities failed to locate his daughter, some say he murdered her. After her disappearance, he dove into looking for her. One day, he suddenly started talking gibberish. Everyone thought he had gone mad.""What sort of gibberish?" Adrian asked. "I once heard him saying how he saw the end, that someone had taken his daughter to a different place. He also said we're all going to die since that person is always watching us.""That person?" Adrian muttered."Yeah, he's always talking about “that person” and saying that person is watching us from the sky. He said that person is capable of wiping us out whenever angered. Anyway, it’s all ridiculous."It sounded ridiculous to Michelin and the other locals, but it was extremely shocking news for Adrian. This man knew of the Creator?'Rozi whispered, "We have to find him. I'm sure he knows something."Adrian nodded. "Could you

    Adrian and Rozi headed toward Sven's eerily quiet residence. After sizing the place up for a while, Adrian said, "Let's take a look inside.”Rozi hesitated, observing the house intently. She said, "Something is off about this place. It feels strange here."As Rozi was a lot more observant than him, Adrian took her words seriously. There was an unusable car out front with a layer of moss growing over it, and the house looked like it had been empty for a long time.Adrian nodded and pushed open the door. There was some furniture inside, but the tables and couch had all manner of items piled on them. The house reeked as well. It smelled like trash that had been left out to ferment, coupled with the smell of a musty, damp house that had not been cleaned in a very long time."Nobody's here."Aside from the living room being a mess, Adrian did not see anything out of the ordinary. The doors throughout the living room were wide open, revealing a washroom and a kitchen, but there was nobo

This power..."Formless energy was surging forward, pressuring his nerves and senses.Below, Andy and the others trembled uncontrollably."Who is it?" Finnian stared into the crimson mist.Even Andy was horrified, his gaze locked on the unfolding scene in disbelief, and asked, "What is this? What exactly is happening?" At this moment, Adrian abruptly opened his eyes.Apparently, the Daemon Emperor had once conspired with Adrian's subordinates to ambush him.However, Adrian had managed to annihilate the traitors and sealed this Daemon Emperor. Now, fate had brought them together again."If I killed you once, I can kill you again." Adrian stood tall, his white robes fluttering in the air.The Daemon Emperor was stunned into silence."This is impossible! You're not that mortal boy!""Is that so? In this life, your end has come, and so has the era of the daemons." Adrian's voice was calm yet resolute. He stretched out his han

    Adrian's face hardened at the words. He despised threats above all else. While he understood what the mysterious entity desired, he couldn't yet fully comprehend its implications or find a way to counter it. His only choice was to focus on growing stronger.Within the hot spring, waves of raw, terrifying power surged and crashed violently against Adrian's body.The force, though beneficial, was brutal and overwhelming. Adrian's body struggled to endure, cracking as though it were disintegrating."Arghhh!"A heart-wrenching scream echoed as Adrian's flesh was torn apart and his aura gradually dimmed."Ahhh!"His agonized cries echoed once more. He could no longer withstand the pain.In the distance, a towering figure appeared and sneered. "What's this? Can't take it anymore? Pathetic. Humans are truly the epitome of stupidity."Suddenly, Adrian erupted with an explosive surge of energy, and in that instant, he broke through to the pinnacle of the Void Stage."Hmm? He actually b

    At that moment, the crowd was speechless.Adrian had ascended as if it were the easiest thing in the world.Faced with such a sight, no one could say much beyond admiration. Even if the Holy Son claimed Adrian had cheated, many secretly wished they could cheat the same way.Lacking Adrian's means, all they could do was envy him.Finnian chuckled. "Haha! You really caught us all by surprise, kid. Still, I'll count this as you repaying me a favor."For Finnian, the outcome couldn't have been better. With a broad smile, he seemed to have achieved his desired result. Adrian's successful climb was all that mattered to him.Once Adrian had vanished, the focus shifted to the rest of the group and their trials.When Adrian opened his eyes again, his entire body ached, but an oddly comforting sensation flowed through him. Surveying his surroundings, he realized he was now in a pond."Where am I?" he asked.Though uncertain about the place, Adrian knew he had cleared the trial and arriv

    The onlookers stared in bewilderment, their faces etched with confusion as they struggled to grasp the unfolding events.Meanwhile, Adrian seethed with barely contained rage. This wasn't his first encounter with such torment. Every few steps he ascended, another trial awaited.To Adrian, the relentless punishments felt suffocating. Yet he pressed on—this was the final stretch of the climb. "Adrian, hang in there!" Andy shouted, urging him to conquer the last step. To Andy, reaching that final step symbolized Adrian's growth. He had witnessed Adrian's remarkable resilience countless times and held unwavering faith in his potential. In Andy's eyes, Adrian was destined for greatness. Adrian's expression turned cold as he locked his gaze on the steps ahead. Determination flickered in his eyes. "If reaching the top guarantees a reward, it doesn't have to be me up there. As long as someone makes it, that's enough." With that, he shifted his focus to the void above and formed

    Adrian felt as if every nerve in his body was beyond his control. A deep sense of grievance filled his heart as the divine thunder from the void relentlessly crashed down.Rage surged within him, but under the onslaught of endless forces, he felt weak and constrained.Still, he had no choice but to press forward. He knew victory was within reach if he could endure a little longer—giving up now would mean death.If he fell, the shame and humiliation would crush him.Below, the Holy Son and others waited, eager to see him fail and mock him. This left Adrian no option but to push forward, striving toward the void above and his ultimate goal.The violent forces continued to bombard him from the sky.With every step, the thunder's impact intensified tenfold. His soul, already battered from a fierce battle with a horde of beasts, now felt as though it was dragging his exhausted body forward.Anyone else would likely have succumbed to despair.

    The oppressive forces descending from the void seemed determined to halt Adrian’s ascent up the staircase.Yet he refused to yield. To him, these overwhelming challenges were merely obstacles to conquer.He pressed forward with relentless determination.Thunderbolts continued to rain down, but the ominous red light from before did not return—a relief, as he never wished to endure its crushing weight again.The memory of that light still haunted him, leaving a lingering sense of helplessness. Its suffocating pressure had drained his strength, reducing him to a gasping, powerless state.Despite the toll on his body and mind, Adrian remained singularly focused on reaching the final step. His burning desire for greater power drove him forward, unwavering and resolute.Step by step, he ascended, reaching the 95th step in what felt like an instant.Only five steps remained. His gaze locked onto the summit, and a wild glint lit his eyes. A daring idea sparked within him, consuming his

    Adrian pondered his situation, his cold gaze reflecting simmering frustration. Yet deep down, he recognized that whoever had designed the staircase was far from ordinary.Creating such a formidable trial required unimaginable power.Even a pinnacle Void Stage expert—or perhaps someone of the Multiply Stage—might bow in reverence before the ladder's creator."He won't last much longer. The divine lightning in this void is utterly destructive. In moments, he'll be reduced to ashes," sneered the Holy Son, his sharp eyes gleaming with malice.To the Holy Son, Adrian's demise was inevitable. Adrian had dared to offend him, and he was certain such audacity could only lead to death.Adrian caught the Holy Son's words and cast him a frosty glare. His intent to kill was unmistakable, though now wasn't the time.The staircase was no place for personal vendettas—eliminating him here would require careful planning.He also knew the Holy Son carried seals of immense power. A reckless move co

    Finnian's sharp gaze reflected a hint of admiration. "Kid, you owe me a big favor this time. You'd better treasure this opportunity."Adrian remained silent, unsure how to respond. His cold eyes revealed no emotion, though he fully grasped the challenges ahead.Fear was a luxury he couldn't afford—he'd come too far to back down now.Suddenly, a streak of red light surged from the void, hurtling toward Adrian with terrifying speed. His eyes widened in shock as the crimson beam struck him, slamming him against the staircase.Caught off guard, Adrian collapsed, sprawled helplessly on the steps.The crowd below watched in astonishment. No one had expected his seemingly indestructible body to be overwhelmed so easily.The Holy Son sneered. "Haha! It seems he's triggered some kind of taboo. Let's see how arrogant he is now!"His voice dripped with schadenfreude, his eyes gleaming with malicious satisfaction as he relished Adrian's struggle.Despite the crushing force, Adrian refused

    "What exactly is up there pulling me so strongly?" Adrian's expression hardened as he pondered the mysterious force drawing him upward.A surge of violent energy erupted across the sky, crashing down like a raging storm.Adrian advanced cautiously, each step deliberate and precise.Gone were the reckless strides of before—now he moved with steely determination, fully aware of the lurking dangers.He'd learned that the void's formidable forces seemed to target him directly, compelling him to proceed step by step. Any attempt to bypass its unseen barriers would provoke a devastating strike."Ridiculous," Adrian muttered. "If I've chosen to climb, nothing will stop me."The void's relentless power intensified.Bolts of thunder hammered down mercilessly, battering Adrian's body. Yet fear never crossed his mind.What was there to be afraid of?To him, the divine thunder wasn't an obstacle—it was a crucible, a tool to temper his body and strengthen his resolve.Despite the storm, A
