Marissa stood up and followed Adrian to the main hall. When they reached the legate statues, Adrian stared at them for a long time.He then smiled and said, "Marissa, maybe Sean was right. This shrine may indeed be where hope begins. There are others besides us who are silently guarding this world. Sean did an excellent job."Marissa did not understand what Adrian was saying.He released Marissa and gazed at the statues. "According to the Seer's layout and my knowledge of mechanisms, the underground chamber here must’ve been built during the construction of this shrine. The mechanism to activate the chamber should be on the statue of the first legate, War Legate Enneagon."Adrian narrowed his eyes and continued, "Enneagon wears a silvery-white cloak with a golden flag on it. Let's see… If I were the Seer, I’d probably install the switch at…his head!" He jumped up and, from a higher vantage point, noticed eight finger-sized holes arranged on top of War Legate Enneagon's statue.

"This should be the third part," Adrian said. When he withdrew his hand, he noticed some blood on his fingers. He rubbed them together and murmured. "Blood, which means this is probably a balance system. Only by inserting liquid in sufficient weight, volume, and density will this part unlock. Since there's blood on this, Sean probably opened it using his blood."All right, I’ve located all three mechanisms. It's time to decipher them."Adrian stepped back a few paces. "Marissa, I'm going to need you to take a few steps back so that you don't get frightened."Marissa did not know what Adrian was up to but complied and stepped back two paces.Adrian leaped onto the statue of War Legate Enneagon. He had come across such a thing before, so he knew what he was doing. After examining the eight holes, he inserted a finger into one of them. With that, the sounds of chains rattling were heard coming from beneath the shrine as though something had been opened. Adrian smiled and jumped off

"Where are we? It's so cold." Marissa’s head swiveled around.Adrian was captivated by everything in the hidden chamber. He released Marissa's hand and said, "We’re currently inside a hidden chamber. Stay here and get some rest. I’m going to go explore the place. Call me if you need anything."Marissa nodded. Adrian left Marissa’s side and used his flashlight to illuminate the chamber's walls. There were drawings all over the walls, most likely done when the shrine was constructed. The message conveyed in these drawings is similar to what he saw in Wonder's world. He was sure they were records of information but he chose not to focus on them and instead approached the mummified corpse. The mummy was dressed in a robe, and Adrian was able to quickly discern its identity. 'This must be the Seer. He built this shrine and died here.'Marissa curiously asked, "Is there a body in here, Adrian?"Adrian nodded, "There is, but don’t worry. The person has been dead for several decades. I

Adrian contemplated for a moment. The Oracle Lineage must have been an ancient tribe from the old days of the empire. Adrian had never read any information about them. He then picked up on something else from the Seer's message.“The Chosen One?” he muttered as he pondered some more, recalling all the books he had ever read.Marissa suddenly piped up, "The Oracle Lineage was from a long time ago, probably when our country was still being ruled by an emperor. They used to live in the lower parts of the Oracle Sea, hence the name of their tribe.”"You know of them?" Adrian asked in surprise.Marissa replied, "When I was about thirteen or fourteen, I heard a story about them from an old man.”"An old man?""Yes, we used to call him Grandpa Bill. Grandpa Bill’s long gone now. He told us that the Oracle Lineage had been guarding a secret since the end of an ancient war. As time passed, their numbers dwindled, and now, they’re nearly extinct.""Tell me more about Grandpa Bill."Maris

Adrian had unraveled the puzzle, connecting the dots and revealing the bigger picture of the world's history.First, Wonder came to an agreement with the Creator, then used the power of runes to prevent those in the Oracle Lineage from losing their memories. Even though the world had been reset, the Oracle Lineage retained their memories and built the palace together with Wonder, where they also built the entrance to Wonder's world. Wonder left behind the method to eliminate the Creator, and that secret needed guarding. The Oracle Lineage, whose memories were intact, accepted this mission and vowed to pass down the secret. Moreover, they split the secrets into fragments and hid them all over the place.The Seer was the last protector of this secret. When he knew that his life was coming to an end and saw that he did not have any descendants, he built the War Legate Shrine to store the secret. He then built this hidden chamber and appointed a shrine caretaker to guard it.Many cent

Adrian observed the wall drawings intently. They portrayed a fierce battle between the immortals and the Creator. However, the drawings in the chamber were much more detailed in comparison to the ones in Wonder's world. The drawings the Seer had left behind told a story. In it, Wonder led a group of immortals in an intense battle atop a mountain. Shadows blotted out the sky and an army of monsters filled the mountain. The shadow in the sky had a giant face that looked hungry to devour life.The next part of the story showed a radiant beam of light piercing through the dark sky, leaving a hole that allowed sunlight into the world once more. The source of the light was the artifact of an immortal. It shined so brightly that it pierced through all matter. The artifact itself was a marble urn with a giant eagle engraved on it, and the light poured out of the eagle's eyes.The shadow, furious, killed the immortals and destroyed the artifact. Wonder then realized the Creator was afraid

Sp, how were the gems supposed to be taken away? Adrian looked around, where there was nothing else aside from the Seer's corpse, Marissa, and himself. He closed his eyes, trying to find answers to the current situation. He assessed everything that was in the chamber.‘The drawings, the Seer's corpse, Marissa, and myself… There's only us four in this chamber that is of significance, so could the key to taking the gems be on the corpse?'There was a robe around the corpse, but it had long fused with the corpse. It was impossible to use it to try and grab the gems. The drawings were not the answer either as they could not move, nor could the gems fly toward the drawing on their own.'What else is there? Gems that were used on an eagle’s eyes… Hang on, eyes? Eyes for a blind person? A blind person!' Adrian turned around to look at Marissa, who was sitting on the floor. With heightened nerves, he said, "Marissa, you told me that Sean mentioned there's a pair of eyes inside the War L

“This is a test set by the light. You have to face it bravely with your sincerity and kind heart," Adrian encouraged, knowing Marissa's spirit was pureShe got closer and closer to the gems. When she was centimeters away, a silvery light emanated from them and they broke free of the necklace. The runes carved on the gems began to radiate light, melting the outer layer, and revealing their clear and translucent true forms.The glowing, clear gems then entered Marissa's eyes. She screamed and hastily covered her eyes as she staggered backward. Her eyes were now glowing. The gems had replaced her original eyes, and the runes on the gems connected themselves to Marissa's veins.These eye gems took root and repaired Marissa's vision. As Marissa’s screams faded, the light finally vanished. Her eyes were now deep blue and carried an ethereal beauty."I can see..." Marissa murmured as she looked at Adrian, then around the whole chamber. "I can see!" she exclaimed excitedly.Adrian breathe

The Daemon Emperor was startled."What is happening? 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 Return of the War Legate Chapter 4812
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. After all, under such immense pressure, ev

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
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 4809
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
