Chapter 857 Four Pillars: The Chosen One
Hearing the question that was directed at him, Valyr stared at the opened gateway for a bit, feeling the light that shrouded the other side envelop him for a brief moment.
Closing his eyes for a bit, he then looked at Vaughn and nodded before the two began to make their way to the place that existed on the other side of the entrance. NewW novels updates at novelhall.com
Recalling the mission he had obtained from Ryvrthe that he had yet to complete, Valyr picked up the two items that hadn't been absorbed by the gateway along the way and placed it back in his spatial bracelet.
Though he felt Vaughn stare at him for a bit as he did so, the young man continued to head towards the gateway as if it was nothing, leaving the former no choice but to push forward as well.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Eventually, the two finally made their way through the gateway, ending up in a place that formed an incredibly stark contrast to the two organizations Valyr had visited before.
'This... is the Gates of Transcendence?'
At the very moment they made it to the other side, Valyr fell speechless as he noticed that the area occupied by the place looked far smaller than the ones occupied by both the Gates of Enlightenment and Awakening.
Walking around the place to get a better idea of how much space there was, it did not take long for the young man to calculate that the area they were currently in was around a tenth of the space the Gates of Awakening occupied.
After walking around for a bit more, Valyr returned to Vaughn's side before asking the same question that first came to mind.
In response to the question, Vaughn let out a bitter chuckle. "This is indeed the Gates of Transcendence," said the man. "This is all there is to it."
Having an idea of what was going on in the young man's head, Vaughn continued. "Unlike the Gates of Enlightenment and the Gates of Awakening, the Gates of Transcendence is an organization that mostly exists in name."
"In terms of where it's located, what you're seeing right now is all there is."
"As long as you know how to manipulate space and time, even obtaining items from the city ruins would be child's play." Vaughn shrugged his shoulders at the thought.
"Either way, there are instances where having a place like this is definitely useful."
"Such as the time when I finally decide to open my mouth all of a sudden and say that I've long known that you're a reincarnator."
"...?!"
Looking at the man with a cheeky grin with his face, Valyr's eyes briefly widened in surprise as he remained silent.
Of course, a vastly different situation was unfolding within his mind. To no one's surprise, multiple alarms in his mind began to blare without abandon as he was in a state of immense panic.
At that moment, multiple thoughts ran through his mind, causing him to question himself multiple times on how Vaughn had come to know of his existence as a reincarnator.
At the same time, he wondered how he had allowed Vaughn to know of his existence as a reincarnator, asking himself if there was any specific action he had done throughout his journey in the inheritance so far that made it obvious.
In the end, Valyr took a few minutes to finally respond to Vaughn's words, continuing to remain silent as he stared back at the latter.
Knowing what was going on in the young man's head, the man faintly shook his head. "If you're wondering if you sold yourself out at some point, that's not the case."
"I already knew about it ever since you five entered the inheritance." Vaughn let out a somewhat amused chuckle. "As a Greater God, a mismatched soul and body is more than obvious in front of me."
"But I must say that such a sign is slowly beginning to disappear." The man nodded in satisfaction. "As more and more time passes, it'll get more and more difficult for others to figure out your origins... save for the Primordials, probably."
"Anyways, how about we move onto your well-earned rewards..."
"My talented descendant?"
