Chapter 564 - Return 8! (Part 1)
In the stagnant void, time froze as if it were held in place by an invisible hand. Lu Ran struggled to breathe while listening in on the Divine Dragons' conversations and withstanding their gaze.
He really wanted to ask Limitless City for an explanation on what exactly was happening. It wasn’t the first time someone in an ascension or secret realm became self-aware.
In every other case, it only happened because the realm was in the process of shutting down. It was only in the process of being dismantled that they realized the world around them was false.
The Divine Dragons, on the other hand, discovered it shortly after they came into existence, about a week into the ascension realm. It even forced the ascension realm to finish prematurely. Lu Ran was at a complete loss when it came to his next step.
The crazier thing was that the Divine Dragons were actually able to stop the realm from shutting down and pulled him into a separate dimension. Lu Ran’s heart rate began to accelerate. His familiars had been forcibly returned to their contract cards, so he was left to deal with the pressure by himself.
“Limitless City won’t count this as failing the ascension realm, right? At least I’m able to confirm that Limitless City isn’t solely responsible for ascension realms. It should be like #18’s Hall of Heroic Spirits. That’s why the Divine Dragons’ projections were able to break free.”
At this point, all Lu Ran could do was take a deep breath to calm himself down.
“As expected of the four Divine Dragons.”
The Divine Dragons carried on with their conversation without paying him any attention.
“Our current form should merely be projections from a moment in history,” said the Time Dragon.
“Whoever it is is using the Time attribute to manipulate the world and pull this fragment of time out of the past and into the present. It then simulates new variables to create alternative outcomes. The variable in this particular situation is that human. He should be someone from the future. From what I can tell, he should be related to you two.” The Time Dragon gestured toward the Life and Death Dragons.
“Indeed. His soul carries an imprint of my power. He also holds an item related to me, but I have no recollection of him. The only plausible explanation is that he is from the future,” the Death Dragon agreed.
