Chapter 374 Chapter 374: Another Door
Using Lilith's connection to the World Tree, Renji transported himself beyond the world.
One after another, the "Sources" were frustrated for not being able to breach the barrier, and upon seeing Renji, who dared to come out as a "native being," they mistook him for Lena, who had been hunting them.
After all, in their eyes, all native beings looked more or less the same, with nothing significant to differentiate them.
For the first time, Renji reached the vast cosmos and truly saw the real body of the World Tree that stood upon the galaxy, as mentioned in Lena's diary.
Before he could take a closer look at this beautiful and awe-inspiring creation, the mythological creatures' giant forms were already upon him.
Among them, Renji could recognize many familiar figures, such as the Crimson Flame Giant from Lena's first diary entry, which turned the world into a hellish sea of fire.
Leading the charge, the giant was engulfed in rolling flames from its massive body. The wave of heat rushing towards him felt as if it would melt everything.
It must be said, mythological creatures, known as such for a reason, are indeed incomparable to ordinary spirits in terms of appearance and momentum.
But as for their true strength...
Facing the Flame Giant's roaring fiery palm, Renji slapped back with his own hand.
Despite the apparent disparity in size and presence between them, with the giant's hand spanning dozens of meters, creating an overwhelming sensation like a sun-sized fireball, Renji seemed too insignificant for the Flame Giant to even consider worthy.
However, in the next moment, as if encountering immense resistance, the fiery giant palm was abruptly halted mid-swing. Cracks began to appear from the center of the palm. The Flame Giant roared in pain, attempting to withdraw its hand, but it was too late. The cracks spread rapidly from the center like a spider web, and in the next breath, the giant fiery palm exploded, sending flames scattering chaotically in all directions.
That wasn't all. Renji wanted to show that size isn't what makes one powerful; it's the quality that counts. Even a droplet of water can pierce through a galactic fleet if it's hard enough. After his palm burst the Flame Giant's hand, it didn't stop there but went through and finally landed on the Flame Giant's main body.
Slap!
Having roughly gathered the intelligence he needed, Renji naturally chose not to engage the "Source Master" at this time. He flew outwards, returning to his own world. The phoenix excelled in prolonged combat, and truly wanting to pursue Renji was futile; both parties were in a stalemate.
Back at the Elven Sanctum, Renji called for Lilith. He now had a slight idea of how to strategize against the "Source Master."
And this also corresponded exactly to the prophecy of the Elf race.
-"One day, the sky of the world will be enveloped in chaos, creatures from beyond will invade, and then the Spirits of the Old Days will reappear. The Child of Destiny will open the door to a new era for the world."-
The initial parts of the prophecy had already come true, but neither the Elf race nor Lilith could understand the last sentence.
The Child of Destiny should refer to the once savior, the Ashen Emperor.
But what does it mean to "open the door to a new era for the world"?
They could only interpret it as a symbol of "victory." Initially, Renji thought so too, but after seeing the "Source Master," he understood the true meaning of these words.
There indeed exists a method to repel the "Source Master," even eliminate it, without relying on the Ashen's power.
The Source Master's strength comes from its wings, from the many worlds forgotten by players after their "game over," the worlds they "abandoned."
If he could revive these worlds, allowing each "savior" to log back in and break free from the "Source Master's" control, the Source Master's power would naturally crumble.
And this undoubtedly couldn't be achieved within this "dimension."
I need...
To open another door, the door to "Earth."
