Chapter 456: The Core of the Golden Great Wall
Boom!
A storm exploded in Aiden’s mind.
At that moment, all the blood in his body seemed to boil. It felt as if it was about to burst out of him.
Ignoring the rules to absorb abilities.
Breaking through limits.
Amplifying laws ten thousand times.
Wasn’t this exactly his "10,000x Critical Hit System"?
So there had never been a system that appeared out of nowhere.
And his transmigration had never been a random accident.
A thousand years ago, Yves, the strongest Divine Emperor of the human race, had torn his own class talent from his body.
He had left it behind as the final, heaven-defying spark for humanity.
And Aiden was the sword bearer chosen by that spark a thousand years later.
Aiden closed his eyes.
He felt the surging Ninefold Chromatic Thunder inside his body, along with the finest essence of the universe from the Transmutation Altar.
At that moment, he finally understood just how heavy the mission on his shoulders truly was.
Standing behind him was the supreme Divine Emperor who, a thousand years ago, had charged alone into the highest level of the Abyss and slaughtered dozens of Demon Emperors.
But then, an even colder and more serious question rose in Aiden’s heart.
If the system was only part of the talent Yves had torn away from himself...
Then what about Yves himself?
Where was that brilliant Divine Emperor now, the man who had planned across a thousand years?
Was he still alive?
Aiden opened his eyes.
His gaze shot toward Zoey like a sharp blade as he asked the most important question.
"Did Yves... really die?"
The wind on the Golden Great Wall suddenly became bitterly cold.
It whipped against their clothes, making them snap loudly in the air.
Zoey stayed silent for a long time.
So long that even the void around them seemed to freeze.
Slowly, she raised her head. In her golden eyes, there was a complicated light that was almost filled with despair.
She took a deep breath, then spoke word by word in a voice that made Aiden’s blood turn cold.
"He may... not be dead."
"Back then, after he tore out his talent, he walked alone toward the Eye of the Abyss in the deepest part of Earth."
"He may have sealed his body and Inner Spirit forever inside Earth’s core."
"And there, with that ancient being... he exists together with it, almost as if they died together."
The cold wind was like a blade, cutting across the ancient stones of the Golden Great Wall.
Aiden stood at the edge of the wall.
His black hair whipped wildly in the wind.
The shock in his eyes had already turned into absolute calm.
"Existing together with that ancient being..."
Aiden muttered softly.
His right fist tightened slightly, and the Ninefold Chromatic Thunder inside his body gave off a low rumble.
"So, if we want to remove this danger completely, the only way is to first strengthen the Great Wall’s seal?"
Zoey’s expression turned serious, and she nodded heavily.
"That’s right. The Great Wall is the chain, and the chain needs a constant source of power."
"In the great war back then, the Great Wall’s energy core was knocked away and fell deep into the Ancient Battlefield."
"Without the core, the Great Wall can never recover the Strength of a Sacred Artifact. It can only survive in this weakened state, just like it is now."
Zoey pointed at the dim golden light under their feet. There was a trace of urgency in her voice.
"As long as we recover the core, the Great Wall will return to the Sacred Artifact level. Then it can completely lock down the monster in Earth’s core!"
"At that time, even if the Heavenly Demon Clan from the highest level of the Abyss launches a full invasion, they still won’t be able to take a single step onto Earth!"
Aiden’s eyes flashed like lightning as he stared into the void.
"The Ancient Battlefield... I will go there sooner or later."
"But Yves must have left some kind of protection behind when he sealed the core, right?"
Zoey gave a bitter smile. A trace of helplessness flashed in her golden eyes.
"You guessed right. To take out the core, three almost impossible conditions must be met at the same time."
"First, you must have Yves’s aura. That is the key to opening the seal."
"Second, your Strength must be at least above level 90, the Venerable level. Otherwise, you won’t even be able to withstand the shockwaves released by the core."
"Third, you must have an incredible ability to reshape laws. At the moment the core is taken out, you must stabilize its law structure before it collapses."
Zoey sighed.
These three conditions were basically an unsolvable dead end on Earth today.
However, Aiden suddenly smiled.
That smile carried unmatched confidence and power.
Boom!
A terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from Aiden’s body without warning.
Level 95.
The power of a Venerable!
The dark clouds across the sky were instantly torn apart by his aura.
The Ninefold Chromatic Thunder turned into tens of thousands of thunder dragons, moving wildly behind Aiden.
"This... This is a level 95 Venerable?!"
Zoey cried out in shock. Her small body trembled under that pressure.
Before she could react, Aiden raised one hand.
Buzz!
An ancient stone altar, filled with endless finest essence of the universe, slowly floated above Aiden’s palm.
Demi-Sacred Artifact, Transmutation Altar!
Its law power was as heavy as a mountain, carrying the ability to reshape all things. In an instant, it swept across the whole void.
"Law reshaping... The Transmutation Altar?!"
Zoey’s eyes nearly popped out of her head, and her small mouth fell wide open.
Then, inside Aiden, a mysterious and ancient aura quietly awakened.
It formed a strange resonance with the Golden Great Wall.
It was the system.
And it was also the Strength Yves had left behind in the flow of fate.
All three conditions...
Aiden actually met every single one of them perfectly at this moment!
"You... you actually meet all the conditions?!"
Zoey was so shocked that she almost lost her voice.
She looked at Aiden as if she were looking at a monster.
How was this just an heir?
This was clearly the savior Yves had prepared himself!
But soon, the shock on Zoey’s face turned into deep worry.
"Aiden, you have to leave as soon as possible."
"Because you are not the only one after that core."
Aiden’s eyes turned cold.
The thunder dragons instantly pulled back.
"What do you mean?"
Zoey took a deep breath and waved her small hand.
A strange black mist appeared in the void.
"Recently, I sensed a mysterious Strength trying several times to detect the seal waves of the Great Wall."
"They hid themselves very well, but one time, they left behind a very faint trace of aura."
"That aura is extremely similar to a mysterious organization described in the memories of the Supreme Miko."
Zoey spoke word by word, her voice as cold as ice.
"That organization is called the Dawn Society."
"They seem to have some kind of Sacred Artifact fragment in their hands. They are searching for the Great Wall’s core like mad, trying to devour it!"
The Dawn Society!
A chilling killing intent exploded in Aiden’s eyes.
In his mind, Aiden suddenly remembered a top-secret report Jade had given him before he left.
"Over the past three months, unusual energy waves have appeared in several ancient ruins on Earth. A mysterious organization is suspected of systematically searching for Sacred Artifact fragments."
With this, everything matched.
The organization hiding in the shadows, the one trying to destroy the world, had finally lost patience and shown its true colors.
"Dawn Society..."
Aiden gave a cold snort.
"You dare touch what belongs to me? You’re asking to die."
His terrifying killing intent made the space around him ripple violently.
This trip to the Ancient Battlefield was now a must.
It was not only to repair the Golden Great Wall.
It was also his last and most important great adventure before becoming a god.
"In that case, I’ll go to the Ancient Battlefield and tear them out by the roots."
Aiden turned around, his robe snapping in the wind, ready to leave.
But just then, the void beside him suddenly twisted violently.
Whoosh!
Endless frost gathered out of thin air and turned into a huge ice lotus, slowly blooming in the void.
A stunning and cold figure appeared at the center of the ice lotus, slowly becoming solid.
Bella!
That trace of ice-crystal divine will that had faded away now gathered again, releasing a godly pressure that made the world lose its color.
Her emotionless icy eyes looked at Aiden, and her red lips parted slightly.
"I will go with you to the Ancient Battlefield."
The ice lotus bloomed slowly.
Bella’s cold and proud voice echoed in the freezing wind.
Aiden turned his head slightly and looked at the peerless Empress clone before him.
"Your real body is still in seclusion, trying to break through to Supreme God. How much Strength can this clone use?"
Aiden’s voice was unusually calm, but it carried a firm, commanding power that could not be questioned.
Bella’s icy eyes shifted slightly.
At her waist, a long sword giving off endless light trembled a little and let out a clear ring.
"This is my ’Radiant Blade’ clone."
"It does not have the full divine power of my true body, but killing an ordinary lower Demon God would be easy."
"And besides, countless gods and demons fell in the Ancient Battlefield. My understanding of that place is far beyond what you can imagine."
Bella’s voice was cold and clear, with the pride and confidence that only a god could have.
Aiden’s lips curved slightly, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.
"Good. Then we’ll go together."
He did not hesitate and agreed at once.
The Ancient Battlefield was extremely dangerous.
It was a forbidden land that even the gods of Arcanum City feared.
With a divine-tier ally by his side, his chances would naturally be much higher.
More importantly, this trip would be his final battle before becoming a god.
And it would also be the most important battle.
As long as he could retrieve the core, rebuild the Golden Great Wall, and completely seal away the ancient being inside Earth’s core, he would be able to enter seclusion without any worries and break through to the supreme realm of godhood!
Beside them, Zoey, the Artifact Spirit of the Golden Great Wall, looked at the two of them after they reached an agreement.
A trace of reluctance and determination flashed in her eyes.
"Aiden, I can’t go with you. The Great Wall’s seal needs me to maintain it every single moment."
Zoey bit her lip.
Her small body looked thin and fragile in the wind, making people feel sorry for her.
Aiden nodded and said in a deep voice,
"I know. Stay here and guard our rear."
Zoey took a deep breath.
Then she suddenly formed hand seals at high speed, and golden light gathered wildly at her fingertips.
"Buzz-!"
