Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 777 - 018 Current Situation

In the depths of endless chaos, in the crevice of dimensional space,

chaos dark,

illusory and ethereal,

a fleeting light flashed across the eternal darkness.

Hidden within the chaotic darkness, in another dimensional domain, a vast space of radiating light quietly floated.

At the center of this mystical space,

a colossal figure, as if connecting heaven and earth, stood silently in slumber.

That is Austin within the space of the Gate of Truth!

A massive body like mountains and hills,

shrouding the sky, obscuring the sun,

the azure scales of his body emitted a faint golden divine radiance, exuding a supremely sacred aura. If anyone stood here, gazing upon the immense form bathed in golden light, they would feel as if confronting the Divine.

Utterly sacred.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly,

the heart spirit of the slumbering dragon body stirred, and he opened his eyes.

The vast eyes, like molten gold cauldrons, blossomed with endless light within this space.

"Someone plotting against me?"

Perceiving a trace of uncomfortable malice from behind, Austin awoke from his slumber, his eyes shining brightly as his pupils gazed far into the sky, as if piercing through layers of void, seeing into distant regions.

It has been over two years since the day of the Ireland Kingdom's collapse in battle.

In these two years,

having learned the secrets of the Epic, Austin naturally strove for higher realms.

Relying on the Sacred Artifact Thorny Crown and the Golden Book, Austin's Gate of Truth in his mind further repaired.

Utilizing the power of this further repaired Gate of Truth, Austin returned to the Martial Hero World where he first traversed, intending to seize this Martial Hero World as his stepping stone for ascension.

Before leaving for the first time,

Austin had separated a Divine Fragment to oversee that world, replacing himself to hold the "Celestial Emperor" position, while his true self returned with numerous gains.

At that time,

Austin could hardly bear to let the body he worked decades to enhance be destroyed, and also could not part with the equivalent Celestial Emperor position gained during the ascension plan.

He hadn't thought much then.

The result was unexpected, the Seta Great World had significant issues with Epic ascension, eventually forcing Austin to look elsewhere,

choosing an alternative path of faith-based divinity.

In this way, the Martial Hero World he attempted to change back then became his most crucial bed for ascension!

During these two years,

Austin never showed before people, instead focusing all his energy on the Martial Hero World and refining that Middle Thousand World.

In achieving temporal unity, completing a qualitative transformation of his life essence, he refined the entire world as his exclusive world.

In the terms of this world,

it became Austin's Divine Kingdom.

In this process,

there were still some unexpected events.

That Divine Fragment, separated for too long, with unequal time flow speed, saw when Austin returned that the world had experienced tens of thousands of years.

Such a long time caused that Middle Thousand World to fully grow into a Middle Thousand World.

The fantasy path Austin spread and modified back then also bore magnificent fruits.

Meanwhile,

the long severed connection even made the Divine Fragment develop its own consciousness.

That Divine Fragment established a Celestial Court in that world, overseeing all, and within tens of thousands of years, continuously promoted and created a path of Martial Arts, seemingly gathering power to resist something, or in a bid to ascend, leaving that world.

Clearly,

the Divine Fragment had its own plans.

He wanted to break away from the true self,

to live a life of his own.

However, unfortunately, that Martial Hero World is a complete Crystal Wall System, with no existence of an Upper Plane.

And he himself also didn't have the Gate of Truth, unable to traverse the Multi-universe System like Austin's true self, eventually trapped in that world.

When Austin's true self returned to that world with his soul,

after some considerable effort, he finally refined and fused that Divine Fragment with its self consciousness, reviewing these tens of thousands of years of memories, Austin let out a sigh.

Worthy of his own Divine Fragment,

his ability to cause a stir was indeed formidable.

If not for the world's inherent limitations, Austin may have not been able to retrieve this Divine Fragment's consciousness after all.

Pity,

everything hard-fought by him ultimately became a stepping stone for the true self's progression.

Austin stayed in that world for over a century,

leveraging the complete timeline of that world, he succeeded in temporal unification and transformation, where his soul itself achieved transcendence.

At the same time,

an entire world,

or an entire small Multi-universe Crystal Wall System, was refined by Austin into his "Divine Kingdom."

In the Seta Great World,

only two years had passed.

But within these two years, Austin's soul completed its transformation in the Otherworld.

A fundamental transformation.

After returning,

though the true self remained a "mortal body," the essence of his soul had surpassed the epic beyond the timeline,

or say, a rank above the epic!

Because,

in the Otherworld, Austin completed the epic's unification of the timeline, as well as refining an entire Multi-universe Crystal Wall System, becoming a true "Divine."

If not for Austin being born from a Dragon Egg in this world, where the Dragon Body served as the soul-unified "true self,"

upon returning from the Otherworld, with Austin's soul essence elevated to the same rank as Divine, it may have burst that body.

Luckily,

with the Gate of Truth's suppression, and also the Dragon Body as his only "true self" from birth to growth, the imbalance between soul and body didn't incur severe consequences.

He could barely sustain it.

Of course, the consequence was Austin spent most of his time asleep.

Mostly drowsy, rarely awake.

Yet in his heart, Austin felt it was entirely worthwhile.

Compared to what he gained,

what's this minor flaw?

The current Austin has completed a higher-dimensional transformation of the soul, though its fusion with the true self remains unperfected, his prowess already far exceeds the Legendary.

Now Austin is certain he could defeat his two-year-past self easily, even with one hand.

The true self's transformation away,

he's already on par with the Divine, could be termed a Demigod.

Once Austin completes the transformation of his true self, he will truly become a Divine of this world, kindling the Divine Fire, ascending the Starry Sky, perhaps even beyond some weaker Divine due to an epic path alongside!

A major increase in power!
