Chapter 998 Core World (Part 2)

A sliver of light flashed, and along with Anastasia, Evan disappeared from the living room.

When he regained his senses the next second, he found himself floating high in the sky. He looked down and saw a beautiful mountain range, with a clear blue flowing river and some animals walking around it.

The sky was completely black, adorned with shining stars and a half-moon hanging between them.

Evan was completely stunned when he saw the scene around him and felt the atmosphere because it was just like the outside world. Even the world essence that filled the environment was identical and he could easily absorb it.

"It doesn't look any different from the outside world," He said after a long silence because he had expected this world to be a lot different from the outside world.

Anastasia shook her head when she heard Evan and said after teleporting them to the top of a mountain.

"From a general point of view, it might look like this world is not different from Utopia, but there are actually a lot of differences between the two."

As Anastasia spoke, she pointed towards the sky and the stars shining up there became a lot brighter, illuminating the mountaintop they were standing on with silver moonlight.

Evan was slightly taken aback when he saw this, but he didn't speak and continued to listen to Anastasia.

"One of the most notable differences is that there is no day-night cycle here. It remains dark here 24/7."

Evan looked at the shining stars in the sky and asked after a moment, "Is there a special reason there is no daylight here?"

Anastasia shook her head and said in a calm voice, "There is no particular reason, I just prefer nighttime instead of a shining globe of fire hanging above my head all the time."

"Hmmm..." Evan looked at the shadow dragon beside him with a thoughtful look and after a while, he spoke in a plain voice.

"I heard most dragons are lazy, so don't tell me this world is dark 24/7 so that you can sleep whenever you want. I mean, no one wants to sleep under a bright sky, right?"

Anastasia looked away when she heard Evan and started to wave her hand, adjusting the light coming from the stars, completely treating them like a light bulb.

When Evan saw Anastasia looking away, he nodded his head and felt the books he read when he was on Earth didn't lie to him. Dragons really are lazy creatures.

*Cough*

Evan was stunned when he smelled the stew, and his stomach growled a bit as he hadn't eaten anything for more than a day.

Anastasia smiled when she saw Evan's surprised look and served the stew onto his plate.

"I used the meat of a beginner-level Rank Four Earth Titan Boar to make this stew. Not only is it tasty, but it can also help you increase the rank of your core slightly."

"Rank Four..." Evan was stunned when he heard the rank of the monster she mentioned and wondered if he would explode after eating it.

'I should be fine; after all, my body did become quite strong after I absorbed the energy Azroth left behind,' He thought and finally ate the stew using the spoon.

As the first bite touched his tongue, Evan was completely stunned. The flavours exploded in his mouth, an intricate dance of warmth, spice, and umami that left him momentarily speechless. He wasn't a culinary expert, so he didn't know much about food, but after tasting the stew, he was sure it was one of the best stews he had ever had.

"How is it?" Anastasia asked in a slightly nervous voice.

"It's delicious... I think one of the best stews I've ever had," Evan said truthfully and took another bite.

Hearing Evan, Anastasia sighed in relief and also took a bite.

Seeing Anastasia sighing in relief, Evan smiled and said in a joking voice as he remembered one of the things he saw a long time ago in his memory.

"You learned cooking for five hundred years, so it's not surprising that you can cook so well."

Anastasia, who had just taken a bite of the stew, nearly choked on it and looked at Evan with a slightly twitching mouth. "You already unlocked that memory."

Evan just shrugged when he heard Anastasia and continued to eat.

Anastasia shook her head when Evan didn't speak anymore and she also focused on her food. Although she didn't say anything, she was actually happy that he at least had some of the memories about her.

The stew was made from a Rank Four monster, so it didn't take long for Evan to reach his limit after eating the second serving.

Anastasia also stopped eating once Evan did, and with a snap of her fingers, the stew pot and cutlery disappeared.

"Thanks for the food, it was really delicious," Evan said after dinner, feeling he needed to refine a lot of world essence that he had just absorbed after eating the stew.

Anastasia nodded with a smile on her face, hearing Evan, and stood up from her chair.

"I know you must have a lot of questions..." She said after standing up. "You can ask whatever you want and I will try to answer them to the best of my abilities."
