Chapter 199 - 199 Meeting The White-Haired Overlord Again
199 Meeting The White-Haired Overlord Again
Su Wan thought of something. “You are the mythical beast?”
The mythical beast was too mysterious for Su Wan. Xu Yuan obtained some information about it when he touched its brain.
Su Wan, on the other hand, didn’t know much about the mythical beast. She only knew it as a creature that had flown from the sun’s core.
Su Wan’s understanding of the creature wasn’t very deep. The danger just now had made her realize that the mythical beast could bypass the laws of the Overlord Plane and kill her.
To be able to achieve such a level of power…
Su Wan realized that the power of the mythical beast was incomparable.
Su Wan felt anxious. She knew that the mythical beast was defeated by a Mythical Overlord and eventually was rendered unconscious in this world. The creature had been sleeping till now.
It was normal for the myth, seeing how it was defeated by one. ‘Am I going to die here?’ wondered Su Wan.
Su Wan tried to calm herself. She couldn’t help but panic about the current situation.
If this mythical beast chose to kill her, not even a Sage could save her! No matter how she looked at it, her chance of survival was slim.
‘Xu Yuan…’
Su Wan thought about Xu Yuan. She really wanted to find him. She wanted to see him one last time…
Su Wan closed her eyes. In front of this creature, all resistance was useless anyway.
However, the situation was unexpected. When Su Wan opened her eyes again, she realized she wasn’t dead yet.
The mythical beast didn’t seem to make a move at all.
‘Is it because I am not entirely human right now?’ wondered Su Wan as she looked at her half-human, half-dragon form. Perhaps this was why the mythical beast wasn’t killing her yet.
She had felt as though she was going to die at any moment. The power of the mythical beast had been terrifying.
But the beast had let her go…
It was too silent all of a sudden. Su Wan was feeling anxious because she couldn’t hear anything. Just then, the mythical beast’s voice sounded again.
“His Majesty…”
The beast sighed. “Forget it!”
Su Wan was puzzled. She wondered who the mythical beast was referring to. The first thing Su Wan thought of was Xu Yuan.
She knew that the Fallen Angel and the White Dragon Saint addressed Xu Yuan as “Your Majesty”. So, it naturally made Su Wan think of Xu Yuan.
But she shook her head. That might not be the case here.
Xu Yuan was mysterious and had many obscure abilities, but it just didn’t make sense that the mythical beast would mention him. So, Su Wan realized her guess was unrealistic.
Su Wan didn’t think the mythical beast would refer to Xu Yuan as “His Majesty”.
She assumed the mythical beast was talking about some other strong entity she didn’t know about. Su Wan was relieved that the mythical beast wasn’t thinking about killing her anymore.
The voice then disappeared. The countless doors also disappeared along with it. There was only one stone door visible.
‘Is this where the God’s Core is hidden?’ wondered Su Wan. She clenched her fists in anticipation.
She didn’t know if she should open it. She didn’t know what might be behind that door. However, she would never know until she tried.
She gathered her courage. Only by obtaining a God’s Core could someone become a Mythical Lord. She at least had to try!
She approached the stone door. She reached out a hand and placed it gingerly on the surface of the door. The white-haired woman had tampered with the door. She had made it so that ordinary Lords couldn’t break through. Unless they were stronger than the white-haired Lord, they couldn’t break the seal and enter.
There was only one way a Lord could access this door…
Su Wan looked at her hand on the door. Her heart pounded.
The door changed. Lines appeared on its surface. Musical notes appeared on the door right before her eyes.
“It can’t be…”
Su Wan was conflicted. On one hand, she was happy that she had fulfilled the requirements to be able to get the door open. She could become a Mythical Lord by using the God’s Core!
On the other hand, she was in disbelief. The white-haired Lord had told her that she had failed to see the love that her hero held for her. Everything had ended in tragedy. That was why the white-haired Lord had sealed this door to prevent the God’s Core from falling into the wrong hands. Only someone who held an immense love for their hero, like the white-haired Lord, could access the door.
The fact that Su Wan was able to do this meant that her “love” for her hero was recognized and acknowledged by the door.
“That lazy lizard… who would like him?” muttered Su Wan.
Su Wan recalled Xu Yuan in his human form. She had seen him like that only once and had never been able to forget it.
“Forget it! I have been through thick and thin with that lazy lizard. Maybe that’s why…”
Su Wan pushed the door open and stepped in. She saw the afterimages of the white-haired Lord in this room. Her back faced Su Wan as she looked into the distance.
The white-haired Lord spoke.
“I don’t know who you are… but if you are here, then it means that my future self sent you here?”
This was only an echo left by the white-haired Lord when she was alive. Su Wan had followed the white-haired Lord’s instruction, and so she was here now.
This was the heart chamber of the mythical beast, the Earth Core Butterfly.
“Only here can the God’s Core remain safe from the outside world,” said the white-haired Lord.
The God’s Core indeed radiated power. It was the kind of power that made numerous Lords go crazy over it.
