Chapter 460: Tanxui Realm
[The Hidden Dimension — The Silver Spire]
"Young man! Where did you get such a powerful statue?!" he asked, his frail arm trembling as he pointed his finger directly at Sunny’s nose. The sheer shock seemed to momentarily breathe life back into his decaying lungs.
"These statues are from the ancient. Legends even says it’s stronger than the world laws we Realm rulers command, how did you get your hand on it!! And you said statues, meaning you got the full set!!"
"Yeah, I also got the core, the golden Yggdrasil."
"....?!!!"
The old man’s cloudy eyes almost fell from his sockets. He stared at Sunny from his sterile white bed, his mind completely blank as he tried to process the impossible scale of what was just casually revealed to him.
"Young man, you do know what type of power the four dimensional Teleportation statues have, right?" he asked in a low, dead-serious tone. The air in the room seemed to drop in temperature.
Sunny stared at him with a slight frown. He could feel the absolute seriousness in the old man’s voice. He knew the terrifying strength of the statues, and he knew exactly how many powerful beings he had to slaughter, how rivers of blood he had to spill, just to get his hands on them. Now, with these artifacts, he had the power to not only easily kill a Realm Ruler but also completely drain both their life force and their foundational laws. It was a power that sat far above their current understanding of reality.
But... Sunny actually had no idea of the true, historical origin of such things. The beings he killed for them had chosen to die in agony rather than reveal their secrets. And there was something the old man before him had just mentioned: "Ancient."
’Seems the Five Realms isn’t even the complete world,’ Sunny thought, his golden eyes narrowing slightly as the scope of the universe expanded in his mind. ’There are more worlds out there. More ancient worlds.’
"Young man, I am waiting for your explanation, how did you get these statues?" The old man raised his heavy head toward Sunny, staring intensely into his glowing golden eyes, demanding the truth.
The System, in her flawless human form, moved her gaze between the two men, remaining entirely silent. At this exact moment, the cosmic weight of these two beings was vastly superior to her programming. She was out of her depth.
"It’s a long story," Sunny said, his tone softening as he stared at the dying creator.
The old man raised one shaky hand, and with a casual flick of his finger, a plush, single sofa slid silently from the side of the grand hall and stopped perfectly behind Sunny’s knees.
"I am sure you’re already using these statues, so before you start whatever plan you’re doing, tell me where you get these things from," he said, leaving no room for argument.
Sunny stared at him and gave a small, genuine smile. No Realm Ruler in existence could order him around, but the frail man before him was different. He was the one who had plucked him from an ordinary, meaningless life on Earth and brought him to the Lower World. He had given him the System to ensure his survival and growth. He had wholeheartedly gifted him the ten ancient bloodlines that now roared within his veins. If Sunny couldn’t even fulfill this one final request, he knew he’d be nothing but a scumbag and an unappreciative bastard.
So, showing his absolute respect, Sunny simply sat down and started the story of what happened years ago. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

[Seven Years Ago - Tanxui Realm, also known as the Second Realm]
WHOOSH!!!
Sunny appeared on a jagged mountain top. Thick, swirling clouds surrounded its peak, isolating it from the world below. The air here wasn’t filled with standard mana or life force; it was suffocatingly thick with raw Primordial Energy, the building blocks of creation itself. His boots lightly touched the cold, crystalline surface of the rock, a small, victorious smile playing on his face.
"I actually achieved it," he said to himself, breathing in the alien atmosphere. He looked up at the sky, but his smile vanished almost instantly.
"I thought I could do it alone, didn’t know you let me in."
BOOM!
The very fabric of space above him tore open with a deafening crack. A divine lady with long, flowing white hair and luminous silver eyes descended from the dimensional rift. She was dressed in an immaculate silver gown that seemed woven from starlight, and a glowing, tangible crescent moon hovered majestically at her back. Her piercing eyes were fixed entirely on Sunny as she landed lightly, without a sound, before him. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"Why are you in my realm, Realm Ruler of the First Realm?" she asked, her smooth, commanding voice reverberating all over the mountain range, causing the Primordial clouds to ripple.
"I actually thought I can enter your realm without you even knowing, seems that’s impossible," Sunny said, casually rubbing the back of his neck with a sheepish, unapologetic smile.
"You should have the previous Realm Ruler’s memories, and should know that is impossible. A realm belongs to the realm ruler, everything in it is in our control... We are gods... Now, why are you here?" she asked, staring at him with the cold indifference of a deity whose sanctuary had been breached.
"You are the Realm Ruler of the moon. You have four laws under your command: the law of night, darkness, moon, and elements... If we two fight here, we will destroy your realm to Nothingness, and I am sure you don’t want that," he said with a confident smirk, crossing his arms over his chest.
The woman narrowed her silver eyes at him and exhaled a slow, frosty breath. No matter how she thought about it, his threat was entirely valid. This was her domain, and if they clashed, an invader like him wouldn’t mind burning it to ashes. Furthermore, she knew his lineage. The Realm Ruler before her not only possessed six laws, but within those six were the absolute laws of Life, Death, and Reality. Inheriting that, Sunny was technically, fundamentally stronger than her.
