Chapter 1919: 539 Original Dream_2

Yellow Jade Dragon became more and more agitated as he spoke.

Matthew seriously suspected that this guy was a fan of Barthor.

Therefore, he had no choice but to nod continuously in agreement, and incidentally released a bit of his domain’s power to offset the impact of the Draconic Might for Mrs. Wolf.

However, upon closer consideration,

Yellow Jade Dragon’s assertion held ground.

The statement “Barthor was originally a Purgatory Goblin” was something Matthew heard from Mrs. Wolf, whose information channels obviously came from that mysterious Great Star Mage.

Matthew was uncertain if Su country faced invasions from both the Abyss and Purgatory at that time.

But he had learned in casual conversations with Yu Qi,

that among Astromancers, there indeed existed a method to undermine a legend’s prestige through slander, cursing, and malicious rumors, thereby affecting their strength.

In Matthew’s view,

this was a method that affected “luck” in a very subtle way and was not without its costs.

It was somewhat akin to the Bard’s legendary spell “Malicious Defamation.”

This spell could destroy most of the hard-earned prestige of a legendary figure, thereby affecting the stability of their Legendary Path, and was extremely malicious.

But in fact,

it was a tacitly forbidden technique among the Bard community.

Almost no Bard would use this spell to attack others.

Instead, many spellcasters sought to learn from the Bards, tried to imitate, and attempted to create similar spells suitable for the spellcaster’s system of Spellcasting.

But mostly, they failed.

It made sense to Matthew why the Great Star Mage slandered Barthor,

but he was surprised to learn that Glacia did too.

And since this information was conveyed by Clayde, Matthew found it quite credible.

Thus, he couldn’t help but ask,

“Then, how do you view the father-daughter relationship between the Demoness of Desire and Barthor?”

Yellow Jade Dragon shook his head,

“The worst thing Barthor ever did was to give birth to Glacia.”

“You may not know, originally, the Calamity Mage had no conflict with Barthor; it was Glacia who provoked her. To protect Glacia, Barthor had to fight a big battle with the Calamity Mage, and as you can see, the outcome was quite miserable…”

Matthew felt something was off as he listened,

“If Glacia was the cause, then why was she unscathed after Barthor was sealed?”

Yellow Jade Dragon pondered,

“Perhaps in the final moments, Barthor reached some sort of agreement with the Calamity Mage, the content of which was not to harm his daughter?”

Matthew was somewhat speechless.

It seemed he had overestimated the accuracy of information from the chaotic factions.

Yellow Jade Dragon rendered Barthor too favorably, bordering on a serious distortion.

So, Matthew steered the conversation back on track,

“So, what exactly is the treasure related to Barthor in the hands of the Lord of Darkness?”

Yellow Jade Dragon mysteriously said,

“It’s Barthor’s horn.”

“You know how important a horn is to demons, right?”

Matthew nodded.

Yellow Jade Dragon continued,

“It’s the horn of the Lord of the Nine Hells, possessing various magical Characteristics within Purgatory.”

“The Phantom Baron wants to use it to please Glacia,

and the King of Air Element believes it could be refined into a divine artefact.

With the protection of that artefact, elemental creatures will no longer be as passive as they are now when facing temptations from evil forces like the Abyss or Purgatory.

As far as I know,

the aspirations of the Air Element are vast.

They not only intend to touch upon Purgatory but also aim to expansively explore the space outside the Inner Plane as their domain of Air Element!”

Matthew’s expression grew more serious,

“Are you sure the King of Air Element wants to expand their territory?”

“This is no joking matter.”

Yellow Jade Dragon affirmed with certainty,

“This is what I have seen with my own eyes, or you could also ask Dudley, the residents of Eternal Island have interacted with many Air Elements; to be precise, it is not only the individual will of the King of Air Element but also the common goal of all Air Elements.”

“You may not know, in recent years, the elemental plane has also undergone significant changes, and the appearance of the Days of Heavenly Change has exacerbated these changes, turning the already chaotic elements even more volatile and impulsive as they crave disorderly freedom.”

“The situation in the air elemental plane is the worst, but they are by no means an exception.”

“From what I know, both the Fire Element and Earth Element have many settlements established in the outer planes.”

“Some of them even exhibited characteristics unique to astral creatures, partly because elemental life is more easily assimilated, and partly because they had left the inner plane long ago and started activity in the outer planes…”

Matthew quickly realized the severity of the situation.

He had no doubt about Clayde’s credibility in this regard, since Eternal Island was located between the air elemental plane and the negative energy plane.

Yellow Jade Dragon often dealt with the air elements or the Eagle Men.

He had the most authority to speak on the situation there.

“If the inner planes also start moving towards war, then the star cores will eventually be exposed, won’t they?”

“What about the star spirits of Aindor?”

“Could they also reappear during the Days of Heavenly Change?”

Matthew pensively voiced his most pressing concern.

The multiverse, with Aindor at its core, had an exceptionally responsible structure, a system even more complex than purgatory.

But broadly speaking, it was built around the structure from inside to outside; “star core,” “inner planes,” “material world,” “sub-material realm,” “outer planes.”

According to the laws of plane studies,

the chaos of the inner planes often multiplied thousands of times as it transmitted outward.

For example,

a large explosion, if it occurred in the astral world (outer planes), might have a negligible impact on the material world;

but if it occurred in an inner plane (earth, fire, air, water, negative energy, Forest Ocean, etc.), it might very well trigger earthquakes, tsunamis, and other calamities capable of affecting an entire region.

This was decided by the gravitational force of the planes.

Among these, Aindor’s star core played the most important role.

It was a keystone stabilizing everything, just like the star core on the moon.

The difference,

however, was that Aindor’s star core had been absolutely sealed off many years ago.

It was tightly enveloped by the inner planes, perfectly hidden, and the corresponding “Original Dream” had also disappeared into the annals of time.

If the Forest Ocean represents the Druids’ lifelong pursuit,

then the star core and the Original Dream controlled by the slumbering star spirits of Aindor were places all beings of the multiverse yearned for.

It was far more significant to the world of Aindor than the Stuluk Star Spirits were to Stuluk.

If the inner planes were engulfed in war, not only the material world and the astral world would be affected, but it could also possibly lead to the exposure of the star core, attracting the scrutiny of countless ambitious figures.

That would be the arrival of the greatest chaos Matthew could foresee!

Yellow Jade Dragon seriously commented:

“I believe the exposure of the star core and the descent of the star spirits are only a matter of time.”

“War is already inevitable, no matter where you are, whether you like it or not, the flames of war will eventually sweep through every corner of the universe, and nobody can avoid it.”

“I’ve heard about your deeds in Stuluk, for you it’s actually an accumulation of experience, maybe one day, your experience in Stuluk can be used in exploring the star core of Aindor–

I’m not joking.

The pan-consciousness of the planets is becoming more active, and sooner or later, it will manifest in a specific being.

It could become the savior of the world.

Or it could become the culprit in destroying everything.

Who knows what the future holds?

We can only do our best now, and also have a few more children, which can also be considered a great contribution to the prosperity and stability of the world.

What do you think, Matthew?”

Matthew smiled.

He was just about to say something.

Suddenly,

a spark of spirit light flashed in Yellow Jade Dragon’s eyes, he lowered his voice, excitedly saying:

“It started! It’s started!”

“I see the Phantom Baron and the King of Air Element engaging personally!”

“Wait, the tomb door leading to the Shadow Core is also open, has the Lord of Darkness awakened?”

“Should we go take a look, Matthew?”

Matthew, astounded, said:

“Weren’t you the one who said you weren’t interested in Beckman’s treasure?”

Yellow Jade Dragon’s eyes shifted:

“Just because I said I wasn’t interested, does it mean I really wasn’t?”

“Hurry up!”

“Are we going?”

…
