Chapter 263 - IV Celestial Tribulation? (1/2)

”You've won.” Edward said as his voice grew weaker. ” You may have relied on luck all this time, but don't you think your luck will last forever, It didn't for me, neither will for you. Take this with you, you've proved worthy to carry this for me.”

With his last words said, a silver gate flew out of his body and went into Elijah's body together with a small sphere of glass, thunder and lightning flowing within it.

”If you find him one day, then return this sphere together with his weapon for me. I owe him that. I should rest now.” The corner of his lips rose in a relieved smile as his body broke into countless pieces and dissolved in thin air.

”I can feel it.” Closing his eyes, the presence of a familiar palace hall was back. A little different from the one in his memories, with a huge entrance leading to the huge gardens without any hint of life that extended until where the eye could see.

Leaving the main hall with the silver gate, his eyes observed the solid sky made of the most brilliant jewels in the world. He could also see the palace's true form, The palace was high upon the hill overlooking the endless sea, its many pointed towers giving it the look of an ancient crown. The walls were a white stone that glistened in the summer sun and the roof was gray slate and jewels all over the wall.

New doors and stairs have appeared leading to several hundred rooms. All stair railings were ornamented with pure divine crystals of the highest grade, carved and polished so much that they illuminated the corridors without the need for other light sources.

Elijah explored the entire place only to realize it was all empty, only the main hall seemed to contain something new. There were no more statues, those had vanished, the gate too. It only had one rune, the one he saw Edward using before.

Something like an origin upgraded in its peak state was something really useful for him. In normal cases, an origin that has spent so long with a master couldn't be absorbed by anyone else, But if it was his own self of a different reality, then the chances of success were greatly increased.

Walking a few steps forward, he touched the gate. He must see what was inside the gate, It was like a special type of storage or a seal. It was the safest place to leave an ownerless origin sealed while it awaits for its master.

His hand barely touched the gate before fully opened, revealing something really surprising. Worlds, countless planets, stars and miraculous things were stored in there. Whole galaxies, star sectors composed of several dozen galaxies and soon, an entire universe.

”So you didn't destroy your universe...” His senses searched throughout the countless stars before he locked down to a single one. A familiar place, yet distant place, planet 31-A, his home planet.

It was devoid of any form of life, but he could easily recognize the plains where his family's castle was located. All forms of life may have perished in this cosmic realm, but Edward saved every star, planet and object and stored them in his own body. At the last moments he also understood his true wish.

In the real world, Elijah felt his body was much heavier than before, but he stood there with an absent-minded smile.

”Teacher! I understand your pain and I will surely do what you couldn't. I will restore your reality. This will be the payment for the debt I owe you.” Elijah recovered his senses, he may have won Edward, but there was no time to waste. He felt that Yawen and the others must be fighting right now.

”Let's go.” Elijah said to Chloe. ”It is time to end this.”
