Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 704 - 092: Fragments (First Update)

Since Austin had witnessed a higher level of power, he naturally couldn’t let go easily.

In a future that is uncertain and an epic yet to be determined, having an alternative path isn’t a bad thing.

These gods have survived from the beginning of the world’s creation, through the golden age to the present, and they certainly have their advantages, and this path also has a bright future.

Moreover,

Compared to those aloof gods in the starry sky who have severed ties with the Seta Continent for many years, if Austin walks the path of becoming a god through faith and establishes an Earth Dragon Divine Kingdom, he would have many more advantages than those gods who haven’t been able to establish much contact with the Seta Continent.

"How is it possible to gather such a vast amount of faith power?"

Austin gazed at the Thorny Crown,

hoping to find some methods related to the Faith Power System from it.

Seeming to sense Austin’s gaze,

the Thorny Crown, which had been trembling and struggling, suddenly calmed down, the turbulent golden light like a tide also subsided, and the previously shaky space prison stabilized.

"Hmm?"

Austin was somewhat surprised.

Could it be,

that the Thorny Crown has gained sentience?

He looked it over carefully again,

but there was no further reaction.

Austin then reached out a claw, gathering the power of the space prison, aiming to probe the power of the Thorny Crown at a closer distance.

However,

at the moment the space prison retreated,

boom!!!

A massive tremor,

suddenly surged from the space within the Gate of Truth, shaking the entire space violently.

At the same time,

the Thorny Crown emitted a brilliant light, its dazzling golden shine illuminated every corner of the space as if it were the sun.

"Not good!"

Though he didn’t know what unforeseen change had occurred,

instinctively,

Austin extended his claw, with a dense wave of space power, a majestic force like reversing a star river, about to envelop and suppress the Thorny Crown.

But before Austin could completely suppress the Thorny Crown,

the Gate of Truth abruptly unleashed an immensely powerful attraction, and the Thorny Crown suspended in mid-air suddenly released unknown Law Runes swirling and interweaving in the air, with gorgeous symbols that almost enchanted the soul, that profound and natural, unintelligible Rule Power left Austin speechless.

What is this?

Before he could react, after decomposing a large number of Rule Runes, the Thorny Crown collapsed into a millstone-sized semi-circular irregular fragment.

Immediately, the fragment, glimmering with profound radiance, was attracted by the base of the Gate of Truth, rushing into a gap somewhere in the base, instantly merging seamlessly!

The Gate of Truth was revitalized, emitting endless brilliance.

Austin was stunned at first,

then suddenly came to his senses.

"The Sacred Artifact of one of the Seven Kingdoms, the Thorny Crown, is forged from fragments of the Gate of Truth?!!!"

This,

how is that possible!

Stunned,

unexpected.

All along, Austin had been consciously searching for fragments of the Gate of Truth, and had even used the intelligence capabilities of the Blue Dragon Kingdom, hoping to find one or two to restore the incomplete Gate of Truth within his body.

However,

perhaps due to the long span of time, or maybe because the Gate of Truth was so secretive,

in any case, despite Austin and his Beastman Tribe not giving up the search for many years, they still hadn’t found any clues, and the general populace had no knowledge of the Gate of Truth.

After all, it was thirty thousand years ago, and humanity has only emerged from the dark age after the collapse of the Beastman Empire about eight thousand years ago.

Originally,

Austin had already given up the action of continually searching for fragments of the Gate of Truth, only having his Dragon Nest Race keep an eye out for related information.

But unexpectedly, reality was surprisingly delightful.

This spur-of-the-moment action unexpectedly allowed Austin to obtain a fragment of the Gate of Truth, further completing the broken gate!

"The Sacred Artifact of the Seven Kingdoms, the Thorny Crown, is indeed forged from fragments of the Gate of Truth?"

Even Austin himself was extremely surprised.

He hadn’t thought of such a possibility beforehand.

But the reality, was already laid out in front of him.

After absorbing that ring-shaped fragment, Austin clearly felt that the space attached to this Gate of Truth expanded by one fold, while fragmentary, indistinct coordinate messages came faintly to his mind, as if deep within those coordinates lay multiple universe worlds.

But sadly, when Austin focused his mind to explore, such fleeting information vanished without a trace, as if it never existed.

Whenever he didn’t focus, it would encircle once more, appearing extremely ephemeral and illusory.

Apparently, although a small part of the Gate of Truth has been restored, most of its functions remain incomplete, still unable to easily find coordinates and traverse worlds as in its former heyday.

To restore it again, more fragments need to be found.

Since the Thorny Crown, one of the sacred artifacts of the Seven Kingdoms, is made from fragments of the Gate of Truth, then could the other six sacred artifacts also be forged from fragments of the Gate of Truth?

Very possible!

"Yes, given the mysterious abilities of the Gate of Truth, using it as material for sacred artifacts isn’t impossible, and after the collapse of the Beastman Empire that inherited the Arcane Mage’s heritage, humanity became the new ruler of the Seta Continent. In that era when the Seven Sages led humanity to rise from the dark ages and gradually dominated the entire Central Earth World, collecting fragments of the Gate of Truth wasn’t difficult."

Moreover, if the fragments of the Gate of Truth possess such miraculous properties, then it’s normal that the masses outside aren’t aware of it.

This is also why the Blue Dragon Kingdom couldn’t gather information about the fragments of the Gate of Truth.

"The Seven Kingdoms... so I’ll have to visit them eventually..."

Austin gazed into the endless void outside, silently contemplating.

Regarding the restoration of the Gate of Truth,

this matter is by no means dispensable,

considering that this Gate of Truth is Austin’s greatest reliance, it might even relate to the reason for his traversal; if he can uncover all the causal reasons, Austin will not fear any danger.

After all,

back in the hands of the Arcane Mages, the Gate of Truth could only traverse the Seta Great World, with countless basic law-similar parallel planes derived from time as the main trunk.

Yet Austin could surpass beyond this Multi-universe System of the Seta Great World!

What exactly is it that changed all this,

Austin was very curious.
