Chapter 812 Four Pillars: Hall of Legends and Myths
Swoosh!
Appearing at the center of the Gates of Awakening, Valyr took a bit of time to admire the opulent sight that surrounded him.
Though, not long after, the young man let out a low sigh, his current location reminding him of what he had just left.
"I really hope they won't take it the wrong way once I break it to them," muttered Valyr to himself, his thoughts wandering off to the now slumbering Hal and Vera.
After directly hearing from Vaughn that only he would be able to enter the Gates of Transcendence, the young man already began to come up with ideas that would possibly allow the three of them to enter together.
Unfortunately, after Vaughn had clarified what his appearance at the barren spot and the items given to him signified, Valyr was left with no choice but to come up with an explanation as to why the two of them couldn't enter the Gates of Transcendence.
Of course, Valyr had no obligation to share such information on the Triad Gates in the first place, only choosing to do so after recalling that he was accompanying the ones that would eventually blossom into the Four Deities of Production in the future.
After all, if the Four Deities of Production grew far stronger in his current life, then humanity would have a greater standing once the War of the Three Sovereignties went into full swing.
With that in mind, the young man wasn't obligated to share information on the Gates of Transcendence either.
If anything, he could tell the two that he found out that there was no way for them to enter the Gates of Awakening and the two would be none the wiser.
However, with how the relationships between them had somewhat grown throughout the time they spent within the inheritance...
Valyr found it somewhat difficult to do.
Or at least, he felt a great sense of guilt at having to do such a thing.
'This is harder to do than keeping my lips sealed on the truth behind the underground area,' thought Valyr to himself, feeling a bit of guilt at having hidden something like that to the group as well.
Letting out yet another sigh, the young man gathered his thoughts for a bit in silence, pondering a bit more over how he was going to break the news to the two on how they wouldn't be able to enter the Gates of Transcendence.
Getting a rough idea of what he needed to say after some time, Valyr took in a deep breath for composure as he made his way to the Realm of Myriad Experiences not long after.
...
Whoosh!
Though, unlike the other skills he had grinded for hours and days upon end for, grinding his defensive and healing skills to their level limit had surprisingly allowed him to obtain a couple passive skills that made him wonder why he hadn't obtained them a long time ago.
"[Defense Mastery] and [Healing Mastery]..." muttered Valyr to himself, staring at those specific skills on the screen he had brought up.
Thanks to the near-incessant number of times he had activated his defensive and healing skills in a bid to max them out, both [Defense Mastery] and [Healing Mastery] had entered the Intermediate stage, breaking through the first bottleneck with great ease.
Noticing that, the young man went ahead and spent a bit of his XP to max both of them out, nodding in satisfaction not long after.
By the time he had maxed out both skills, the Realm of Myriad Experiences had kicked him out of the place, with the voice telling him that his time was up.
Whoosh!
Appearing at the entrance of the Realm of Myriad Experiences once more, Valyr went ahead and conjured a rift to take a peek at the inheritance proper.
Seeing that the moon had only gone past its zenith just recently, the young man inwardly let out a sigh of relief as he understood that he still had more than enough time to do the other thing he planned on doing in this trip.
With that, he activated [Arcane Serpentine Sprint] to enhance his movement speed, arriving at the center of the Gates of Awakening after a few minutes.
Once there, he took a look at his surroundings yet again, bringing up the information the Gates of Awakening had given him the first time he came to this place.
After a minute or so of silence, Valyr eventually found the path that he needed to take to get to the place he wanted to go to, heading in a direction that once again veered off the common paths in the courtyard.
However, unlike the path to the Realm of Myriad Experiences that looked worse for wear, the path leading to the Hall of Legends and Myths seemed well-maintained.
In fact, if Valyr looked closely at the path he was walking on, it seemed as if the path had been given far greater care than even the paths leading to the four knowledge repositories.
'Well, it does make sense,' thought Valyr to himself with a slight shrug. 'After all, the Hall of Legends and Myths contains the weapons and memories of beings that have made a name for themselves.'
'Who wouldn't want to have a shot at inheriting at least one of the things in that place?'
With that in mind, the young man leisurely made his way towards the Hall of Legends and Myths, admiring the buildings and sights he came across along the way.
Eventually, the young man arrived before the place, his gaze instantly becoming enamored by the sheer size of the building making up the Hall of Legends and Myths.
Though, as he gradually looked downward to find the entrance, his gaze eventually froze on a man he wasn't expecting to see so soon.
"Vaughn Darkstar..."
