Chapter 524: Half a Chaosworld (1/2)

”World Sage. I only have one thing to implore on you… Let my Yellow Dragon see the light of our sun again.” The old man declared after telling me a long tale on why he didn't make a move against me and why he let me in here without finishing any trials.

I already told him almost everything about the history of why Earth became like this.

And now, despite still being only a digital entity, his aspiration to elevate his House to become a Noble House again was still here.

”If that's what you only want then… I will do so.”

”Much gratitude. Now then… Please step forward and stand here.”

He kowtowed once more before he pointed to the spot directly below that yellow dragon statue.

I followed his instruction and stood where he pointed.

Following that, the white-haired old man flew up and suddenly merged with the giant yellow dragon statue.

Whirl!

As if a machine being kickstarted, mechanical sounds began to be emitted by the yellow dragon. Its eyes glowed in green as the statue gradually wriggle as if it was alive.

”World Sage, this should be the final trial before you successfully inherit my Legacy. You have to get the cube in this statue's mouth. However, that's not needed anymore.” Huang's old voice rang out from inside the statue. Furthermore, the pressure of the surrounding area began to drop on my shoulder. It's strong enough to shake my knees.

To keep this old man's confidence in me, I stood tall and acted unaffected.

Even though he said that there's no more trial, subjecting me to this kind of pressure could already be considered a trial.

He was aware of my current strength. If I faltered with this much pressure then… the confidence he had in me would be blown to the wind, never to recover.

He would be thoroughly disappointed to pass me his Legacy.

I'm not the Divine Realm expert that I was. In fact, I'm too weak that my father or any of the other old fossils could defeat me anytime. The gap between us couldn't be bridged by just my Energy Control.

And that's why those two Rank 3 Transcendent captives that we had instantly gave up resisting upon seeing my father.

After a while, the mechanical sounds coming out of the station stopped. In place of that, a loud rumbling sound echoed across this whole sub-dimension.

From where it was placed as a decoration, the yellow dragon statue rose to the sky and began weaving through it.

Following that, it shifted its eyes to me and hovered its giant head right in front of me.

The dark cube containing the Chaotic Energy clutched in its mouth was already in my arms' reach. However, I hadn't moved and just stared at it.

”Is this the Automaton you mentioned?”

”Indeed. Nothing can escape the World Sage's eyes.”

What 'nothing can escape'? You made it so obvious! You mentioned that and now you do this. Only an idiot would not guess correctly.

Ah. Either way… even if it was the Sage level Automaton, the pressure I felt from it was only around Rank 4 Transcendent.

It's not in full operation and even the movements it did already sucked the surrounding Source Energy dry.

”It looked good but it's still filled with flaws. I doubt it will be useful in a Sage level fight.”

”And this is the reason why I showed this to you. No one will have seen its flaws except the one with an absurd Energy Sensitivity and Energy Control. This… is part of the Legacy. As I have already stated. And this is what I meant about letting the yellow dragon see the light of the sun again.”

After saying that, the dragon statue's body gradually floated down and settled back to the pillars holding it earlier.
