Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Golden Divine Pattern!
In the Sanctum.
The moment they stepped into the fourth layer, the three of them were taken aback...
No mechanical prompts, no trial rules explanation, only a suffocating silence.
"What is this...?"
Before Veronica finished speaking, the ground suddenly trembled violently!
"Boom——"
Under the shocked gaze of the trio, a gigantic willow tree soared from the ground, reaching up to the heavens.
Its trunk was like a pillar supporting the heavens and earth, straight into the clouds.
Except for a few green branches, the rest were withered and scorched.
This is...
Aster Grant’s pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately checked its information.
[World Tree]
[Level: ???]
[Talent: ???]
[Attributes: ???]
[Current Status: Dying]
[Introduction: The supreme existence that accompanied the initial arrival of the Alternate Space, witnessing the birth and extinction of numerous civilizations]
....
Seeing this introduction, Aster understood immediately...
The most important thing in the entire Mystic Realm of Ascension is this World Tree!
The World Tree that existed since the initial arrival of the Alternate Space...
It surely knows why the Human Race cannot break through to beyond Monarch!
As Veronica and Cecilia saw this, they almost simultaneously took out a crystal with a mysterious halo from their pockets.
[Memory Crystal Stone]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Function: Record images]
Seeing the Memory Crystal Stone appear in their hands, Aster was stunned in place.
Wait a minute!
Why does he have nothing?!
The Council and The Holy See were clearly well-prepared, but he...
How was he to know that when Stryker met him, he planned to help Noelle Quinn elevate to Monarch Level, and didn’t even remember to give him such a trivial thing as a Memory Crystal Stone.
Aster’s mouth twitched.
But even without a Memory Crystal Stone...
He took out his phone from within the Beastbond Space.
This should work too, right?
After all, the effect is about the same.
With Lazuli properly recording the scene beside him, Aster, Veronica, and Cecilia exchanged nods and took a step forward.
"Ssshhh——"
The remaining green branches of the World Tree suddenly swayed gently, probing around the trio’s bodies.
A moment later, an ethereal voice sounded:
"Finally, you’re here... the race favored by the Alternate Space."
???
Favored?
The three of them showed bewildered expressions simultaneously.
The Human Race can’t even break through to Monarch, how could they be favored?
As if sensing their confusion, the branches of the World Tree trembled lightly, and three dazzling golden light shadows slowly emerged in The Void.
"This is called a Divine Pattern, the key to higher dimensions."
"Only races that obtain a Divine Pattern can give birth to beings beyond Monarch."
Aster’s gaze fell on the golden Divine Pattern phantom in the sky.
He realized...
This isn’t the same thing as the Demon Pattern in his Beastbond Space?
Though...
One is a brilliant gold, the other a deep black!
"The reason why I say your Human Race is favored by the Alternate Space is because... other top-notch races in the Alternate Space only possess one Divine Pattern, but you Humans..."
"Have a full three!"
Hearing the number "three", Aster was taken aback.
Three times that of other races!
This number indeed matches the term "favored", but what immediately came to his mind was an even greater confusion.
If so, why has the Human Race not obtained even a single Divine Pattern so far?
Perhaps able to discern his thoughts, the World Tree continued to speak:
"The only way to obtain a Divine Pattern is to clear the corresponding Myth-level Sanctum."
"You have already passed the test of the Mystic Realm of Ascension, and in seven days, the first Divine Realm will open."
"But remember, not only will the Divine Pattern-less Xenos participate, but even those strong races with existing Divine Patterns will covet it as well..."
"This is the only chance for the Human Race to obtain the first Divine Pattern."
"The first Divine Realm’s level is restricted to Extraordinary Tier; though difficult, I believe you can do it."
When these words were spoken, Aster had a feeling...
It was as if the World Tree was speaking to him!
After answering all doubts, the withered branches suddenly interwove into a Teleportation Array.
"Lastly, I hope you can unite all powers to defeat the Demon Clan!"
A gentle light flashed, and the three had already returned to the original square.
A breeze passed by, and at some point, a green willow leaf appeared in Aster’s hand.
Taking advantage of no one noticing, he quickly stored it in the Beastbond Space.
"Boom——"
A moment later, three Monarch-level pressures descended upon the square simultaneously.
Stryker stood in mid-air, his gaze sweeping over the two powerhouses from the Council and The Holy See.
The ninth seat of the Council, "Ironwall" Tucker, and Walter, the "Scarlet Grand Duke" of The Crimson See, one of the Twelve Knights.
These are tough guys...
The three exchanged glances and instantly reached a consensus.
For now, internal conflicts within the Human Race should be avoided.
"Everyone takes their own people, any objections?" Stryker was the first to break the silence.
Tucker crossed his arms and nodded, while Walter elegantly performed a knight’s salute to express his agreement.
Their strengths were evenly matched, all true Monarch Levels elevated through slaying the Demon Clan!
If conflict arose, none of the three would gain any advantage.
Taking their own people away was obviously the best course of action.
In the square.
Veronica, seeing this scene, also knew it was time to part ways.
She waved her hand at Aster, "Freak, see you in seven days!"
To make Miss Veronica Vero acknowledge someone’s strength as freakish, over the years...
Only Aster Grant had achieved that!
However, upon hearing this nickname, a few black lines appeared on Aster’s forehead.
That nickname, "freak"...
Sounds really unpleasant!
On the other side, a hint of fear was in Cecilia’s eyes as she looked at Aster.
After all, the Vampire Prince wouldn’t dare make a move in front of him!
"Let’s go!"
Stryker’s big hand slapped heavily on Aster’s shoulder, and Monarch-level Spiritual Power erupted with a bang.
"Boom!"
The two of them instantly transformed into streams of light, soaring into the sky, heading towards the Draconian base in the City of Chaos.
At this moment, Stryker’s heart was itching with curiosity...
Clearing the Mystic Realm of Ascension was a done deal.
But what happened inside the sanctum?
Only the three of them knew!
...
In the City of Chaos.
The courtyard previously destroyed by Veridia had already been repaired.
Veridia stood leaning by the window, her blue hair gently swaying in the breeze.
As she sensed the Monarch-level aura sweeping across the sky, her blue eyes narrowed slightly...
The sanctum was over!
That bastard human who deceived Scarlett’s feelings... should show himself too.
Her gaze swept toward her sister standing in the corner facing the wall, and she spoke slowly:
"Your boyfriend seems to be out, would you like to go find him?"
Although Veridia’s tone was calm, Scarlett knew it was all a facade.
Without any hesitation, she shook her head decisively.
"Good!"
Hearing these two words, Scarlett instantly let out a sigh of relief.
But a moment later, her heart was on edge once more.
"Although I don’t know who that human is yet... but it won’t be long before we see him!"
"If you dare inform him..."
The black Ghost Pattern flashed across Veridia’s face.
Scarlett’s body shrank abruptly, her head shaking like a rattle drum.
She originally wanted to inform Aster that she might have gotten him into big trouble.
But seeing her sister’s current state...
She immediately abandoned that thought!
If she left now, she didn’t doubt for a moment that her sister would uphold family honor over kinship.
Break her legs!
