All of Novemton's resources were poured into the research of the meteorites at that moment.Jerome looked at Adrian. He knew it was next to impossible to figure out who was pulling the strings from behind, but one thing was for sure. They had to locate the Creator if they did not wish to live under constant threat. "What are your plans now, sir?" Jerome asked."We need to locate Mount Thunder." Crystal asked, "I heard a few days ago that you were investigating this place. What's so special about this mountain? Why are you looking for it?"Adrian explained, "That's where Rozi saw her prophecies. There's a place called the Celestial Lake, which is located at the mountain summit. The problem now is that we don't know whether Mount Thunder was reset or not. Our only chance at getting closer to the truth is through locating this place."It's easy to find a mountain. What’s difficult is to find one that meets all of your given criteria. How are we supposed to start?" Jerome asked.A

Crystal was feeling fortunate to have come across someone like Adrian in the course of her career. After all, he was the person who resolved all of her issues from the moment she became the monarch.Wyvern Peak's existence directly affected how history progressed. And on this day, they were all faced with an enemy with unprecedented powers, capable of destroying the world. At that moment, Hugh entered the office and said, "Your Majesty, I bring urgent news!"Adrian and the others immediately stopped their conversation. Crystal said, "Come in." Hugh walked in and greeted, "Greetings, everyone."Adrian and Jerome waited for Hugh to tell them the news. Crystal said, "What's the matter, Hugh?""Your Majesty, Oliver just sent word that our men found an ancient ruin while building the railway at Mount Gremont.""What?” Crystal was shocked.Jerome asked, "What sort of ruin?"Hugh handed over a few pictures. "Our men realized something strange as they were tunneling through Mount
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 1492
As Crystal pondered, Hugh asked, "Your Majesty, the railway works have been forced to stop. Oliver and the others are waiting for their next orders. It’ll be difficult to remain active on the snowy mountain over long periods of time. They need your answer as soon as possible, Your Majesty.""Rozi and I will go take a look," Adrian said."Okay.” Crystal got up and continued, "Hugh, tell Oliver to stop tunneling for the time being and work on something else. War Legate Draco will investigate the frozen city. They will be allowed to continue working on the mountain after he's done.""Yes, Your Majesty,” Hugh responded and left. Adrian was about to leave with Rozi when Jerome held his shoulder and said, "I can't shake the feeling this is going to be dangerous. Perhaps you should leave the investigation to me, sir. I don't wish for you to get any further involved."Adrian smiled. "I haven't grown that old yet. Come on, Rozi. Let’s go.”Rozi nodded and left the office with Adrian.Je

Adrian and Rozi were on their way to Mount Gremont, the largest snowy mountain in Novemton. This mountain stood in between Wyvern Peak and Dragon Peak. One needed to pass Wyvern Peak to get to Mount Gremont. While the helicopter flew through the air, Adrian and Rozi looked out at the glorious palace standing at the topmost level of Wyvern Peak. Filled with fascination, the excited Rozi asked, "What is that place? It looks even more glorious than Enigma City.""That's Wyvern Peak," Adrian replied with a smile. Rozi had heard Adrian mentioning this place many times, but she could not remember what sort of place it was. She asked, "What's Wyvern Peak?""It's a place founded by Novemtoners. It's the main entrance into Novemton and the place that protects our citizens from foreign invasions. It has stood for hundreds of years now.""Which means it's about the same as the Gost emperor's army, right?" Rozi asked. "Yes, Wyvern Peak is an army for Novemton. It's because Wyvern Peak sta

Those were unchangeable facts. Adrian tried to console her. "It's all in the past now. What you should be thinking about is how countless people have yearned to live forever without aging but have failed. Yet, you've succeeded in just that. You've managed to live for more than a thousand years, yet you haven't aged one bit. Do you have any idea how many people dream of being like you?"Rozi rolled her eyes. "More accurately, I've been asleep for more than a thousand years, so how was that any different from being dead?""The dead never wake but those who are asleep will.""So in terms of age, don't you think it'd be appropriate for you to address me as your great-grandmother?" Adrian was startled by this sudden question and quickly cleared his throat in awkwardness. Rozi burst out in laughter. "You're only in your twenties, while I've lived for over a thousand years. It’d be more than appropriate for me to be your ancestor, regardless of how you look at it.""No comment." Adr

But something had attracted Leonardo's attention. Seeing how nobody took him seriously, Leonardo took one last look at the cave before leaving with everyone else.***The night was without incident.Adrian and Rozi arrived at Mount Gremont's headquarters at noon the next day. Their helicopter landed on the helipad above. They got out and gazed at the base."I heard that Oliver was an outstanding archaeologist. Just look at how neat and tidy this whole place is," Adrian said as he observed his surroundings.Rozi was mesmerized by the large area. The base looked extremely spectacular standing within the snowy mountain. Though the working conditions here were harsh, it looked as though the engineering team would complete the railway without any problems.Rozi was curious. "Adrian, why are they building a railway through the mountain? Won’t this require a huge amount of resources?"Adrian smiled. "The railway is crucial if Navia wishes to survive against the vast numbers of outland

Everyone looked over and cleared a path for Adrian. They all addressed him respectfully as he walked past.Adrian nodded and asked, "What's the situation inside?"A few workers were calling out to Oliver and the others through their walkie-talkies. Some were even observing the situation through surveillance cameras, but the cameras were malfunctioning. One of the technical staff said, "Sir, we lost contact with Mr. Oliver more than half an hour ago. He’s wearing a helmet that has a camera mounted to it, but it's not showing us anything. We can't contact him through his walkie-talkie either."Adrian looked toward the cave. He shone his flashlight on the traces of ruins that could be seen. The place was pitch dark, causing the flashlight's range to decrease. "Hmm?" Rozi murmured as she walked toward the cave."What's the matter, Rozi?""Something feels off… It's as if something terrifying is inside. I'm worried those men may be in grave danger. We need to get in there and save t

It was a gigantic and marvelous palace frozen in ice. Everything within was sealed. The palace was massive and imposing, lighting up with a bright glow as the ice reflected the beams from flashlights."My goodness.”Everyone marveled at the gigantic palace. Despite being frozen for thousands of years, the palace still exuded a mysterious temperament. The grand hall of the palace and everything within were encased in ice. "What is this place?"“This huge structure is unbelievable."Lane and the others exclaimed in astonishment. None of them had expected such a splendid-looking palace to exist inside Mount Gremont. Their flashlights shone through the palace, lighting up the place as their light reflected off the ice. Adrian and Rozi stood in front of the group, peering at the palace's interior.Rozi said, "This palace is huge. My guess is that it used to be a marvelous place. Everything has been preserved to perfection, but I can't figure out where this palace came from."Adrian

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?

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.

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
