“This is the Palace of Eternity.”
As the golden armor finished speaking, Wen Yu finally freed himself from an inexplicable dizziness. He released the arm he had been gripping and looked around.
All he could see was lush greenery. This grassland was vast and appeared to exist in isolation. Wen Yu could see the boundaries of the grassland, where endless chaotic currents of time and space surged wildly, yet they could not interfere with the existence within.
In the distance, at the center of the grassland, a magnificent palace stood alone. From afar, Wen Yu could sense that the distant palace resembled a core of Earth's core origin, radiating boundless origin power.
“This place is...”
While examining his surroundings, Wen Yu asked.
“It is located in a dimensional interlayer, possibly a layer between two and three dimensions, or perhaps a layer between even higher dimensions, or it could be a layer between the material world and the spiritual world. In short... I’m not quite sure myself.”
The golden armor revealed this information with a bitter smile. Then, another voice suddenly rang out.
“You don’t need to know so much. You just need to know that this is the burial ground for you, Wen Yu, and that is enough!”
Accompanied by the voice, the figure of No. 2 suddenly appeared beside the golden armor. His filth had long been washed away, yet the faint stench emanating from him made Wen Yu frown deeply.
“Where did this beggar come from...”
Wen Yu casually remarked, then turned to the golden armor with a smile.
“Let’s go, take me to see your boss.”
“I’m afraid you can’t meet the sovereign directly.”
Faced with Wen Yu’s initiative, the golden armor instead let out a bitter smile.
“The latest order is for me to take you to the Hall of Contemplation. The master has other urgent matters at the moment.”
Wen Yu realized.
This urgent matter undoubtedly referred to Tang Haofei himself.
At the same time, Wen Yu began to understand the current situation...
The so-called Hall of Contemplation should be the prison where he would temporarily stay. Whether he could be released from prison, whether it would be immediate execution or a delay in death... all of these depended on the conversation between the sovereign and Tang Haofei!
...
The Ruler’s Hall.
This is the core of the Palace of Eternity, the place where the sovereign resides and makes all decisions.
In the past, unless it was the last moment of a plan, no non-treasure land guardian could enter this place. However, today, a certain ‘Sleeping Beauty’ broke the sovereign's unspoken rules.
A condensed, substantial white light enveloped the sovereign's body, obscuring his true appearance.
He stood beside, gazing at the sleeping Tang Haofei. After a long while, the sovereign finally raised his hand.
The palm, covered in white light and forged from origin power, slowly brushed against Tang Haofei's forehead. He gently stroked the black crystal on Tang Haofei’s forehead but was unsure of what to do next.
Indeed, the sovereign could not resolve the price of Tang Haofei's power, nor could he solve the issue of changing races. The sovereign was not omnipotent...
The so-called twelve levels was merely a general term. The twelve levels of the sovereign and the demon lord, and the twelve levels represented by the planetary will, are not the same concept.
As the strongest under the practitioner system, the twelve levels of the sovereign and the demon lord represented their total energy equivalent to that of the planetary will. An individual a few meters tall, in terms of total energy, is comparable to a world. Thus, the disparity in strength naturally arises—destroying a world is as easy as playing a game for them!
This is the difference between steel and cotton!
But success and failure both depend on the Divine Stone.
Even at the twelve levels, they still could not escape the rules of the Divine Stone— they only have twelve skills.
The limitation of skills creates a certain degree of shackling on the powers of the sovereign and the demon lord. Of course, as hosts of the Divine Stone, the sovereign and the demon lord must be unique in some aspects.
