Chapter 611: I Have Returned
In the floating land where the grand palace was located, the situation remained calm and did not experience any disturbance like the ones outside the central area of the Everlasting Silent Forest. The barrier in this place was the most powerful compared to any other area across the continent.
However, even so, the sky above the palace also experienced changes as it became darker because of the portal, and the barrier could also be seen active with glimmering lights spreading across the sky. The barrier protected the area below strongly, without any disturbance.
Inside the grand hall, where a magnificent throne had waited silently for countless years for the one worthy to sit upon it, the situation remained the same. The condensed golden energy that had floated high in the hall, calling out to Aldrian for so long, kept flickering from time to time, brightening the hall.
Since the night Aldrian played his guqin, the condensed golden energy had become more active, sometimes flickering more frequently. Even now, it flickered rapidly, as if trying to call its owner to come to it.
As if the one it had called was finally answering, a figure suddenly appeared inside the hall. The figure’s face was extremely pale, and he instantly dropped to his knees, coughing several times as blood stained his mouth. Sensing his arrival, the golden energy flickered even faster.
Aldrian, who had already established his domain that covered this place, had teleported here instantly from the devil territory. He had not even taken the time to heal himself and arrived with his soul still injured. Pain surged through his body and soul with even the slightest movement.
Realizing that he would only hurt himself more if he forced his body, he decided to heal first. Taking a meditative position, he closed his eyes and began to restore his injuries. With his energy, he started healing every part of his body. As each second passed, his countenance improved, and the pain gradually subsided.
Aldrian took a deep breath once the pain in his head and body had lessened. Then he opened his eyes and looked ahead, observing the interior of the grand hall, a place he had never visited before in this life.
His gaze was immediately drawn to two things: the grand throne and a large concentration of golden energy similar to his own. He could sense that this concentration of golden energy was the second calling that had always summoned him, alongside the will of Long Shentian and Feng Xuanyan.
His gaze turned to the throne first, the grand throne that, even without anyone sitting on it, radiated the majesty of the one destined to occupy it. A faint sense of nostalgia stirred within him as he looked at the throne he rarely sat upon in his past life
As far as he could remember, he rarely sat upon it, preferring to roam outside and stay in more natural places where he could see the night sky.
From what he could see now, the throne before him was identical to the one in his memories. The grand throne, as if alive, seemed to entice Aldrian to sit on it, which he found amusing.
