Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 612 - 001 Ancient History

Mastering the Time Law and Space Law, a mysterious and profound metamorphosis occurs within, ultimately allowing one to step into the gate of the Epic.

Through devouring the legacy of the Ancient King of Frost, Austin already possesses the qualifications to break through and achieve Epic status.

An Epic-level being, not seen within these eight thousand years, was known through the battle beneath the Ice Crystal Royal City's underground space with the ancient king of a Frost Giant. Even before the unknown Golden Era prior to the Ragnarok of the Gods, Epic-level existences were super powerful, just below the Divine.

"Next, I need to see if I can find a way to break through to Epic status within the Ireland Kingdom..."

Austin murmured softly, his mind contemplating silently.

The powers of the Time Law and Space Law, through seizing the remnants of the Frost Giant's Ancient King, Austin was already versed in mastering. He stood before the gate of the Epic, just one step away from pushing it open.

However, Austin remained bewildered about the future path.

How to break through was still a mystery to him.

He could only resort to external means, hoping to gather some secret information.

To be honest, it was indeed quite strange.

Having mastered the Space-Time Power, he should have touched the bottleneck of that Realm, but why did the way ahead feel boundless and pathless?

Moreover,

this world itself was somewhat peculiar.

Recalling the battle words against the Ancient King of Frost in that underground space and after devouring the Space-Time Law Origin, that core of the Time Law Origin remained in a grey state, unable to harness even a bit of power. It wasn't until breaking through the world's barrier through the Gate of Truth, smuggling into the vast empty void outside, that it became active again.

Numerous doubts emerged in his mind.

Regarding the information he had previously gathered, Austin began to speculate.

"If my guesses are correct, this world's creation birthed countless lives. An immense world system formed an era with almost infinite possibilities, where Epics were nearly immortal. The ancient powerful races once possessed infinite time, infinite fame, freely exploring the Multi-universe with this world as a base—that was the Golden Era the Ancient King of Frost spoke of."

"After the Golden Era, within infinite time and lives, those immortal races, and even the Divine accumulated conflicts over endless ages, eventually leading to war outbreaks. All races fought, and the tragic slaughter and destruction shattered countless time-line universes, ending that era of infinite possibilities."

"After the end of the Golden Era, who knows how many years later, Arcane Mages rose, standing alongside the Divine under the same starry sky, ultimately not knowing what led to a great war between the Arcane Mages and Divine. As a result, the Ragnarok of the Gods commenced, followed by the destruction of the Arcane Council, the falling of the Divine, ushering a chaotic dark era until eight thousand years ago when the Seven Sages led the Human Race to rise, dominating the continent's hegemony..."

This was the general outline of the world Austin deduced from the currently available information.

Some historical truths within might have omissions, but this was the general historical timeline Austin could analyze from the existing data.

As for when this world was opened, who the Creator God was, what the Divine really was, or even how this world was long ago,

all this remained unknown to Austin.

The wars and turmoil that occurred in history were too widespread, unless those powerful beings surviving from ancient times, otherwise, even if civilizations recorded certain accounts, they would presumably be buried and disappear in the long river of time.

"The slumber of the Divine, the seclusion of the Epics... What the Ancient King of Frost mentioned that day, this world is like a weathered ship about to crumble and disintegrate, probably referred to the tremendous wars causing the utter devastation by those Epic Divine-level powerhouses."

There's a fair chance.

That day in the Ice Crystal Royal City's underground space world, just the battle between Austin and the severely weakened Ancient King of Frost had repercussions strong enough to affect an entire half-plane-like world.

What about those even stronger existences?

The destructive power generated would likely far exceed the aftershocks from his and the Frost Giant's Ancient King's battle, even if the world's inherent capacity was significantly better than that half-plane from that day.

But the ancient wars during the fall of the Golden Era, and later the wars of the Twilight of the Gods, the beings of that level were nothing Austin and the Ancient King of Frost could compare with.

This world certainly suffered damage, leading to various phenomena of the past.

However, Austin did not delve deeply.

Now, his strength was already at the precipice before stepping into the Epic.

As long as he returns to the Main World, everything would unravel.

"Returning!"

Gathering his thoughts, his mental realm activated the Gate of Truth.

Rumble!!!

The space-time shifted, a massive vortex in the void emerged before the eyes, resembling a black hole in the void devouring everything.

Without a moment of hesitation, Austin stepped out, entering the void black hole, his vast figure silently disappearing.

...

Dolan Glacier Plateau, an endless icy world.

Snowflakes fell heavily from high above, mixed in the bone-chilling cold wind, slicing through the air like blades. If an ordinary person appeared here unprotected, they would face death by a thousand cuts.

Of course, due to the extreme cold, this agony would not last long.

For without any Extraordinary Power, an ordinary person would not last a moment in this land ravaged by extreme blizzards before becoming an ice statue.

The icy wind howled.

On the vast white glacier plateau, no sign of life was apparent.

Suddenly,

In this white and lifeless world, below the gray, dim sky, the empty space abruptly twisted and rotated. Accompanied by the splashing sound of clear water, a giant void vortex appeared in the sky.

Subsequently,

Boom!!!

A massive figure flew out from the void vortex, appearing in this world.

"Finally back...."

Standing upon this land, Austin was about to heave a sigh of relief and express a sentiment, yet the words did not finish when his expression suddenly shifted, gazing sharply at the sky, his eyes filled with an astonished look of disbelief.

"What?!!!"
