The Ultimate Support Character-Chapter 523 Legacy Acceptance (3)
"Forgive me. It is my fault that our world became the target of a Divine World. I am ignorant that it will cause the destruction of our world."
In contrast to what this digital entity did, I lowered my head towards him.
There's nothing wrong with being this shameless, he's already dead and the past would remain as the past. There's no such thing as going back to the past.
Time can only be perceived slowly. Just like what is happening inside that Dimensional Passage. Time can also be perceived in an accelerated state. Just like Raiden's Ability or any other abilities related to it. Yuko's Foresight and the principal's Clairvoyance could also be one application of it. However, it was peeking through one or more from the infinite possibilities ahead of time.
But no one can go back in time.
Like they said. Time is relative. No one or nothing can actually make it stop or go back.
Even if you entered a wormhole and arrived in a different part of the universe that's too far away from your original location. You would still be in the same stream of time.
However, you can communicate with a remnant of the past. Just like this digital entity that was the exact copy of the Family Head of Kouryuu.
"The World Sage is too kind. It is the glory of our world that you attained something that no one can. My Noble House might've fallen from grace but seeing that I am existing now and you're still here. I am assured that our World is still intact."
"That's true. Except, I split the Earth into five chunks. The other four regions; Seiryuu, Suzaku, Genbu and Byakko are currently lost in the wide universe."
"… Eh? All four regions." Shocked by that revelation, the white-haired old man blanked for a while.
While still bearing the grace of a Divinity, I didn't say anything and just waited for him to gather his thoughts.
Even though he should be suspicious of me, my appearance and the way I carried myself were enough to fool him that I am still a Divinity.
Either way, once the white-haired old man recovered, he began leading me to the location of his Legacy.
Along the way, he never stopped talking. Like how nice it would be if his Kouryuu returned to being a Noble House.
He even talked about his wife that he neglected because of his pursuit of elevating Kouryuu.
This Waste Disposal Site was one of a kind. He treated this as his lifetime project to build.
Creating that Artificial Intelligence and the Automatons became his greatest accomplishment that he began to supply the other Waste Disposal Sites or the other four regions with it.
And among every place that would have Automatons as guards, he admitted that only in this place would one find a Sage Realm Automaton.
And that Automaton was out of the Artificial Intelligence's Central Network.
It can be controlled by an Artificial Intelligence, a digital entity or even a World's Will consciousness.
And lastly, it wasn't restricted to this place.
However, if something that strong could be made, the requirements for it to be used were also at the standard of a Sage Realm.
It was part of his Legacy but I doubt I would be able to use that anytime soon. Moreover, it was hidden inside this sub-dimension.
This place still needed to be repaired completely for it to surface.
If that could be used immediately then I might not need to travel into other places and just go back to the Dark World. using that Automaton to regain control of it.
Alas, even if I find a cheat item here that had the strength of a Sage Realm, it would be impossible to use them because we would be restricted by the Source Energy requirement.
Nonetheless, whatever they would get at the Weapon and Armor Peripherals Storage Buildings as well as data gathered by this place would already be treated as a huge haul. pan(da-n0vel.c)om
After giving me a tour of the four pavilions of this Ancestral Estate which corresponded to four different seasons, the white-haired old man then brought me to the open space in the middle of the four Pavilions.
In the middle of it was a gigantic statue of a golden eastern dragon.
Its mouth was opened. Clutched between its teeth was a dark translucent cube. It's not exuding any Source Energy. But that dark glow was enough indication that its content was the compressed Chaotic Energy.
Below the statue were ashes of what should be the other items one would receive after completing this Legacy Acceptance. They were sucked dry of Source Energy so they became useless. And after the passing of time, they all turned to ash.
"World Sage, this here should be the final trial ground for the Legacy Acceptance. Alas, apart from that one, all I've prepared has been eroded by time." The old man showed a regretful expression. "And this is why I decided to just drop whatever I am planning. In all honesty, this old man has found out that World Sage's strength has regressed to that of a Transcendent Realm. Letting you pass the four Pavilions proved that. You see, anyone whose strength reached the Sage Realm will trigger the defense mechanisms inside them. However, none of them got triggered."
The old man Huang then presented a meaningful smile. However, there's still no malice in his voice.
"You never asked."
He never asked so… there's really no reason for me to tell him. Moreover, as soon as he caught sight of me, he went down on his knees as if he saw a deity.
"Mhm… That is a blunder on my part. Seeing your visage invoked that memory of mine wherein you got all those four stubborn fools to kneel down in front of you. All for the sake of being with the Princess of Seiryuu."
That's an old event… That's when the Seiryuu Family Head wanted Yuko to return and assume her position as the Princess. Moreover, he even tried to betroth her to the princes of the other Noble Families thinking I was only Yuko's loyal servant.
"I'm surprised you're aware of that."
The only ones who should be aware of that were those four old men and Yuko herself. We made it look like I kidnapped her when she could just defeat her grandfather at that time.
Well, its purpose was to send a message that Yuko is mine and we don't want them meddling in our affairs.
"It's not a secret among all the Sages of our world. It was the Princess herself who circulated the recording of that battle."
And that's something I didn't ask her to do.
I guess that worked out fine considering it made me those trials that they prepared for accepting that Legacy.
"I see. I indeed regressed. In fact, it's only recently that I recovered my memories."
"You mean...?"
"I killed myself and entered the cycle of reincarnation."
"How… How is that possible?"
"Using the power of a Divine Realm." 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m
"That… makes sense. So one needed to reach the Divine Realm for one to reincarnate."
At first, he was thrilled about the possibility of reincarnation. He's probably thinking that he also had that chance to reincarnate.
Well, it's not only about being a Divine Realm. I also needed the cooperation of the World's Will to make it possible. Otherwise, it would be impossible to reincarnate in the same world.
But that's something I don't see any reason to explain to the old man anymore.
I am here for that Chaotic Energy and I am now itching to grab it from that dragon statue's mouth.
