Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 626 - 015 Unknown Truth

The power of time has been completely sealed in this world.

Or rather, it had to be sealed.

Because, utilizing the time law power within him, Austin could sense the twisted and chaotic river of time in this world, like a tangled mess.

That feeling was filled with endless chaos, overwhelming the mind.

It felt as if one's brain was being spun ten thousand and eight thousand times in a washing machine, a sensation of utter disorder.

Merely the faint aura emanating from the forcibly sealed, gray and withered power of time between the heavens and earth already made Austin feel an urge to avoid it at all costs.

It is unimaginable what level of turmoil was experienced for the power of time to ultimately end up in such a state.

"No wonder in the past eight thousand years, ever since the Seven Sages withdrew and disappeared from the public, no epic-level beings have emerged. The time law between heaven and earth was directly erased and sealed; how could anyone possibly cross that chasm and reach the doorstep of the epic?"

"But how did the Seven Sages of the Human Race reach the Epic Realm back then, and who sealed the power of time?"

Austin couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

Ever since the great battle of Ragnarok between the Arcane Mages and the Divine thirty thousand years ago ended in mutual destruction, they vanished completely from the eyes of the intelligent beings on the Seta Continent.

Subsequently, without the rule of the Arcane Council and the Divine, the Seta Continent fell into chaos and entered a dark era.

Until the rise of the pure-blooded Beastmen, inheriting the legacy of the Arcane Mages, establishing a Beastman Empire that spanned the entire Seta Continent, which later collapsed, the continent once again plunged into chaos. Eventually, humans under the leadership of the Seven Ancient Sages rose to dominate the richest Central Earth World, becoming the overlords of the Seta Continent until today.

It was from that time that the entire world fell into a period of eight thousand years of silence, with no one able to breakthrough to legendary and climb to the epic level.

"If Ragnarok almost sank the great ship of the Seta Great World, then during the rise of humanity under the Seven Sages, something unknown must have happened, becoming the last straw that broke something, ultimately leading to the sealing of the power of time..."

How did the Seven Sages come to be, and at what time did they achieve their epic status?

What event took place eight thousand years ago, preventing future generations from producing epic-level figures?

These puzzles are shrouded in layers of mist, with few knowing the true truth.

"The stronger one becomes, the clearer one's ignorance becomes..."

Austin murmured softly.

The power of time buried the ancient history deep within the sands of time.

The records of those seven eminent sages remain only in myths and legends passed by word of mouth, with most details long hidden in the depths of the historical river.

Even if a world-shaking event threatened to destroy the world back then, very few can know about it today.

"But fortunately, I have made preparations, and it remains to be seen how far Princess Sarah can go."

The arrangements made in the Ireland Kingdom have made progress, and in due time, they may assist Princess Sarah in obtaining that thing, facing the highest secrets of the Ireland Kingdom's royal lineage. It is said to be left by one of the Seven Sages who founded the kingdom, placing everything there. Unfortunately, the descendants of the Ireland Kingdom proved undesirable, unable to pass the test or acquire the ancestors' gifts.

Among these gifts, there is a sacred artifact possessing the power of time.

Initially, Austin planned to follow Princess Sarah to the Ireland Kingdom and seize the sages' gifts, including the legendary supreme sacred artifact of the Plantis royal family.

But unexpectedly, along the way, while passing through the Dolan Glacier Plateau, an incident occurred, and he killed the Ancient King of the Frost Giants, obtaining the Space-Time Law Origin. To refine that law origin, he had to travel to another world and could only send a replica to walk the earth, accompanying Princess Sarah to the Ireland Royal Capital. The plan was to use the artifact left by the Ireland Kingdom ancestor to comprehend the contained time ability.

Now, with the power of time gained through the unexpected encounter at the Dolan Glacier Plateau, Austin no longer needs to seek the time power in that sacred artifact.

Moreover, with Austin's current realm, after discovering the sealed hint of the time origin between heaven and earth, he is very skeptical about whether the sacred artifact in the Ireland Kingdom still drives the power of time.

"The history of the Seven Sages is deliberately concealed in the river of history; the era is too ancient, making it challenging to learn the original truth, but since the founder left a gift, it must contain information closer to the world's reality."

According to Sarah Plantis, the key to the ancestor's gift is the supreme sacred artifact in the royal household's depths.

What exactly resides within, no one knows.

It is only known that it was left by one of the Seven Sages at the kingdom's founding.

This is precisely why Austin did not withdraw his replica from Princess Sarah's side even after acquiring the time power; he wanted to uncover the true reason behind the world's decay to this current state, to better face an increasingly unpredictable future.

After all this time.

At this moment, Austin's replica and Princess Sarah have already reached the Ireland Kingdom's Royal Capital and have been caught up in a tide of turmoil.

The information vaguely transmitted from there indicates that,

At present, the Ireland Royal Capital is enshrouded in chaos. The Kingdom's King is critically ill, and his heirs are fiercely vying for the throne.

At the same time, countless forces are coveting this ancient realm, with undercurrents surging throughout the capital, all desiring a substantial portion of this grand feast.

The journey is fraught with peril.

During the replica's and Princess Sarah's passage into the Ireland Kingdom, they returned to the capital, encountering assassination attempts by mysterious individuals. If Austin's replica hadn't sensed the traps ahead with his amazing spiritual sense, they might have disappeared into oblivion before reaching the capital.

The identity of the enemies lurking in the shadows remains unclear.

Upon entering the Imperial Capital of the Ireland Kingdom, a series of events ensued, and both Princess Sarah and Austin's replica found themselves mired in muddy waters.

Despite the unfavorable circumstances, Austin remains largely unperturbed.
