Chapter 951
“Phew…”
Rhode sat on the sofa, closed his eyes, and rubbed his forehead, trying to process all the information. He had learned so many unexpected and bewildering facts on this trip to seek Alice’s help. This was the first time he learned that the five Creator Dragon Souls weren’t truly dead. Instead, even though the so-called dragon soul heirs had indeed inherited the dragon soul powers, the reason why they received the powers were only because the dragon soul protection needed a hub for absorbing and converting powers. The dragon soul protection required replenishment from the spiritual powers of humans and frankly, the dragon soul heirs were merely the materialization of the worshiped figures. Through this way, the population had a person to devote themselves to and the process of offering their spiritual powers would be much clearer and homogeneous.
Apart from that, Rhode also gained an understanding of the Deepest Labyrinth. There was in fact a massive Dimension Gate on the deepest floor, which was designed for the five Creator Dragon Souls to pass through safely. Not only that, but in order to prevent outsiders from entering or destroying the Dimension Gate, the Deepest Labyrinth was also built.
Rhode had an association of ideas about the Dimension Gate. If his theory was correct, the reason why the game of ‘Dragon Soul Continent’ appeared in the real world might be due to the five Creator Dragon Souls who created it. But why would they create this game and why did he transmigrate here? Alice didn’t give an answer to these questions because according to her, the six Deity Wardens were only responsible for executing the plans, which included the constant reset of history to create distortion and forcefully crumple the trajectory of fate. As for where the five Creator Dragon Souls went and what they did in the other world, the six Deity Wardens weren’t authorized to know. Even though Alice was the History Deity Warden, the history that she recorded was only of that in this world.
But Rhode felt like the situation wasn’t this simple. The young lady he saw in the Deepest Labyrinth and the voice echoing in his ears definitely weren’t meaningless illusions. Could it be that the five Creator Dragon Souls were related to his younger sister? Or perhaps his younger sister was the reincarnation of the Void Dragon? After some serious consideration, this in fact seemed possible. Ever since his younger sister was born, he was clearly aware that deep inside her mind was a huge mystery. Perhaps others wouldn’t know that, but the bizarre mental and physical connections between them made him realize it. But back then, he was only an ordinary child and the inexplicable irritability in his head wasn’t comfortable for him at all. Not only that, but the reason he chose to play ‘Dragon Soul Continent’ was because his younger sister purchased the device for it earlier on. She wanted to enjoy the life of an ordinary human in the game. While Rhode wasn’t dubious of her decision, she eventually left the world before she had the chance to fully enjoy the game. It was also for the sake of fulfilling her wish that he started playing the game. If not, why would he ever be in the mood for it?
Rhode felt doubtful. If Alice was right and his younger sister was the Void Dragon, one of the true, mighty gods who created this world, she shouldn’t just pass on like that.
“Sigh… What a headache.”
Rhode shook his head in doubts. Even though he had discovered these secrets, he realized that even more mysteries that came with them. For instance, if this world was in fact the Dragon Soul Continent that he played in, why would he be bound to the system? Besides, not only could the system affect him, but it could also construct buildings quickly like in the game. All of these were major mysteries and he felt like it wasn’t as simple as they seemed. But since Alice expressed that she wasn’t aware, he was also left with no choices.
Perhaps he should consider Mini Bubble Gum’s suggestion to explore the Deepest Labyrinth? According to Alice, Deepest Labyrinth was entirely designed by the five Creator Dragon Souls. Maybe he could find some clues in there.
Also, about the destruction of this continent…
“We have to be more careful this time. Alice, Marlene, Gillian, Canary, and Mini Bubble Gum. Five of you will follow me to the Country of Law. As for your mission… You should know what I want.”
“Of course, Leader!”
Mini Bubble Gum raised her hand in excitement.
“No matter if it’s the group of feathered birdmen or shameless dark animals, I will crush anyone who finds trouble with us!”
Rhode had to admit that even though Mini Bubble Gum wasn’t politically sensitive, she was equally matched with Anne in terms of battle capabilities.
“That’s right. This time we are heading there to display the strength of the Void Territory so no one thinks that we’re pushovers. I guess you’re also aware that this concerns the peace and future of the Void Territory. At least for the temporary peace, Lapis.”
“Ah! Yes!”
The startled Lapis lifted her head nervously. She could be considered a ‘public enemy’ right now. After that incident, Rhode went and asked her what she did to make him fall for her trap. Even though it was a great achievement that a Deity Warden and dragon soul heir fell into her trap, he was hoping that she could focus more of her energy on the right things instead.
“I’ll leave all the preparation to you. Can you handle it?”
“Yes… No problem, Sir Rhode.”
Lapis lowered her head in embarrassment and answered softly in the buzz of a mosquito. Rhode shook his head helplessly and shifted his gaze to the other young ladies.
“The duties for others remain the same. Lize, you’ll take over Marlene’s duties for the time being and inform us of any issues through the communication report. For this official appearance representing the Void Territory, we are absolutely not allowed to fail!”
