Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 608 - 59: The Cause and Effect (2)

Time flies, nearly ten years passed in the blink of an eye within the Cangxuan Realm.

During this decade, Austin traveled the world, leaving his footprints in various great regions, simultaneously healing and analyzing the Time Law and Space Law Origin, and separated a thread of power, turning it into opportunities bestowed upon those who fit the "protagonist" template.

Over the years, he became like an Exiled Immortal amongst the common folk, a figure existing within legends in various countryside villages.

Playing in the mortal world, following the heart of heaven, he reached an exceptionally high state of mind in another sense.

While journeying around the world,

Sometimes, on a whim, he would casually open a Secret Realm outside the Demon Beast Wilderness with Great Divine Power, setting up bizarre tests like a game, offering various rewards to those who could pass the trials. The first person to break through layers of trials and pass the final test would naturally receive a reward of Austin's Space-Time Law Origin, along with a substantial gift.

These trials, when entertaining, selected those with great wisdom and endurance, naturally not based on cultivation supremacy; the ingenious trials fused with Austin's terrifying Dream Illusion Technique power, incorporating simulation management, role-playing, detective reasoning, plotting strategies from Earth World brain games, combined with a Magical Treasure similar to artificial intelligence as the control center of the Secret Realm, created a perfect place for Secret Realm training.

When the Secret Realm was created, Austin deployed his means, visible rays of light streaked skyward, immediately attracting numerous experts from the nearby Cultivation Realm.

A large gathering of martial artists,

At that time, Austin hid behind the scenes, seeing those so-called "masters" and "strong figures" from the eyes of Loose Cultivators crashing their heads against the strange trials before them.

He was unmoved within, even finding it somewhat amusing.

There were also nearby family or sect forces that dominantly cleared the area, stationing numerous strong figures, trying to monopolize the Secret Realm training ground.

To this, Austin certainly did not condone it, shattering the void with a palm, as if a Divine Demon's hand descended from the sky as divine punishment, erasing those overbearing families and sects from existence.

Meanwhile, the first group within the Secret Realm had already finished their training and returned. They learned from the mystical Artifact Spirit within the Secret Realm that it was a fortune bestowed upon all beings by a Great Divine Power User playing in the mortal world, allowing anyone to enter the Secret Realm to gain resources.

Thus, martial artists also recognized that such a formidable presence existed behind this Secret Realm, and no longer dared harbor any thoughts.

Simultaneously,

Upon knowing the Secret Realm was a fortune granted by a Great Divine Power User, martial artists from nearby counties rushed madly towards the Secret Realm, eager to enter and train.

Even if one couldn't meet that great figure, perhaps if they were lucky enough to break through layers of trials and reach the final step, they could be chosen as a disciple by that mysterious great figure? 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

This method of creating a Secret Realm of fortune seemed ingenious to martial artists from counties near the Demon Beast Mountains, whose vision couldn't understand the realm of the Great Divine Power User behind them. In their world, Emperors and Venerables were the peak to aspire to, while Dharma Aspect and Venerable were myth-like existences, utterly beyond their imagination.

Even those exalted like Immortal Gods governing the world, the Venerable, might not possess such abilities.

The thought of a great being beyond the Venerable secretly watching everything clearly made people endlessly frenzied.

As people came and went, Austin peered silently for more than half a year, finally witnessing a clever Loose Cultivator break through layers of trials. Seeing him take the large gift he left behind, Austin neither appeared nor departed.

That little Loose Cultivator could also be considered another "protagonist template" like figure; whether in temperament or wisdom, both were exceptional, with a powerful fortune.

Yet over the years, Austin had seen many such cases, and the novelty had worn off.

After remaining for several months, the initial interest faded, so Austin left without hesitation.

As for the Secret Realm Space, Austin let it develop freely.

It was a conscious Secret Realm Space, able to autonomously absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, transform it into Spiritual Liquid, and nurture Spirit Grass, containing a complete cycle within.

Its future fate depended on its fortune.

If eventually that super intelligence developed consciousness and merged with the Secret Realm into a unique life form, perhaps thousands of years later, after enduring heavenly tribulations and becoming human, it might develop a seeking-for-Immortality mindset, ultimately fail, devolve through countless epochs, and once again become the golden finger for a new era's protagonist.

This possibility was rather mysterious but not impossible; who knows what the future holds.

Creating a Secret Realm was merely one of the inconspicuous small matters Austin undertook during his decade of traveling the Cangxuan Realm.

Walking the world, orchestrating destinies, sometimes on a whim saving a little fox about to be slaughtered on the street, enlightening it, bestowing it a cultivation technique, experimenting by cleansing its bloodline, using some Divine Techniques to transform the bloodline legacy, observing the experiment to see if he could create the Nine-tailed Demon Fox clan from myths.

Though regrettably, Austin only managed to grow eight tails, the experiment eventually failed.

Yet he wasn't upset, merely doing it casually; the experience and knowledge gained in exploration were indeed a valuable harvest for Austin. In some matters, the importance lies not in the outcome, but in the knowledge acquired through the exploration process.

Ten years of extraordinary experiences could not be told in a day and night.

During this period, the conflict grew fiercer, fires of war ignited in every corner of the world, marking the change from the battle between Austin and that Venerable, as if the entire world was slowly awakening.

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged, Spiritual Veins appeared in originally barren mountain flows.

Spiritual Qi began to rejuvenate,

The cultivation of martial artists became increasingly simpler, as many Venerables who were once rare breakthroughs appeared in this time, across the Vast Continent horns sounded for strives, wars spread.

Though all of this had little relation to Austin, he stayed hidden, watching the storm brew as the seeds sown in the past has ripened, his Heart Spirit focused on retrieving the harvest.

However,

Austin didn't foresee that the final battle arrived so quickly!
