Chapter 522: Legacy Acceptance (2) (1/2)

After taking in the scenery around me, I didn't enter the Ancestral Estate in a hurry.

Although there's no reason to be cautious since there's no way someone would still be alive from the olden times where the Earth still prospered, I had to still check to make sure of it.

My life wasn't mine alone. My Companions were all depending on me and… I still wanted to spend more time with them. That's why I had to practice being cautious when I was in a place where I wouldn't be the superior one.

I could actually act like I owned the whole world on Earth or the Mortal Worlds because of my Energy Control and my identity.

As for this place… Even if it was connected to Earth, the creator of this sub-dimension, the Kouryuu, was the absolute ruler of this place. Or that was the case back then.

At the moment, there's not enough Source Energy here and most Source Energy that was being transferred here from the Earth was being used to repair this whole sub-dimension.

Well, not actually 'repair' but the Source Energy was bringing back the original state of this sub-dimension.

There should be various formations set up in this sub-dimension that would either restrict or prevent any trespassers. But all of those were non-functional while the sub-dimension was still in this state.

This sub-dimension contained the same principle as the Pocket Dimensions. They both exist within the confines of the Earth.

However, this sub-dimension was completely reliant on Earth compared to the Pocket Dimension that was actually just a sealed part of an incomplete Level 3 Source Energy. When the World's Will hibernated and the Source Energy disappeared, the entrance to this sub-dimension also shut its doors.

After a few minutes of observing the place, I stepped my foot inside the towering Ancestral Estate.

As soon as I passed by the opened front gate that was devoid of any defensive mechanisms, the front double doors of the Estate with two coiled yellow eastern dragons depicted on it swung open.

From the outside, it could be seen that there were at least four main structures for this Ancestral Estate and they were arranged to create a square space in the middle of the four.

The architecture of these structures was reminiscent of Ancient China.

Or the Kouryuu's architecture was where they based it on.

Although I was from Earth back then, I didn't get close to other Noble Houses apart from Seiryuu which Yuko was part of.

”Spring Pavilion.”

That's what was written on the huge plaque hung above the opened front door.

From where I was, it was nearly impossible to see the interior of this Pavilion. It's masked by whatever Formation was set up inside.

Since my Adaptability wasn't being triggered by danger, I gave my immediate vicinity a quick look before entering.

”Welcome to my humble Estate...” An aged old voice instantly registered in my ears. The voice trailed its words as if the owner was surprised upon seeing me. A few seconds later, my old title that the Seiryuu announced to the whole world was uttered by the owner of the voice. ”… Esteemed World Sage.”

I naturally followed the source of the voice and found a white-haired old man wearing yellowish long robes embroidered with the same coiled yellow dragon I saw at the doors.

There's no fluctuation of Source Energy around him and he didn't seem like a flesh and blood individual.

It's more like, he's a holographic projection.

”I… I can't believe it. The World Sage in flesh... Ah! Excuse my rudeness, I am but a mere digital copy of my own consciousness. The World Sage visiting this humble abode of this lowly Huang is a great honor to those who bore the Yellow Dragon like me. I have heard of your tales and your rise to becoming a Divinity!” The old man immediately kneeled and kowtowed towards me. Even if he's a digital entity, he's the exact copy of the original.

However, he's now almost the same as that Artificial Intelligence. Moreover, compared to that one, this digital entity could only exist here in this sub-dimension.

This old man recognizing my appearance was something I expected.
