Chapter 516: Primal Chaos Era
As Max continued speaking with Henry and the other geniuses from the mortal worlds, slowly growing familiar with their personalities, ambitions, and backgrounds, a deep, aged voice suddenly echoed across the grand hall like the toll of an ancient bell. "Everyone, head to the Ancient Dragon Totem training ground!" it commanded, resonating with such authority that silence immediately fell upon the gathered crowd.
Max instinctively turned toward the source of the voice, but his attention quickly shifted to Henry, who was already grinning with barely contained excitement.
"Ancient Dragon Totem training ground?" Max asked, surprised, not having heard of such a place before.
"Hehe, it’s finally time," Henry said, his tone buzzing with anticipation. "You’re pretty lucky, Max. Everyone else here has been waiting all day just to enter the Ancient Dragon Totem grounds and choose a training area to comprehend the Laws. You? You made it just in time."
His grin widened as he added, "That place is the pride of Obsidian Dragon City. Its ultimate treasure."
As Henry spoke, a faint gleam flickered in his eyes, a reverence that even the most prideful geniuses didn’t bother hiding. "Those totems... they were left behind by some of the most terrifying powerhouses to ever walk the halls of the Black Dragon Palace. Legends say that some of them were etched into existence during the very shaping of the universe—born in the primal chaos of creation itself. These aren’t just stones. They’re conduits. Anchors to the source of all Divine Laws. To the essence of the existence itself."
Max’s brows furrowed slightly. ’Stone totems... etched from the chaos of the forming universe?’ It sounded exaggerated—impossibly lofty, even for a place like this. But Henry’s tone wasn’t joking.
"They say," Henry continued, "that if you can truly comprehend the Laws inscribed within even one of those totems, and merge its truth with your own understanding, you can become someone whose grasp of the Laws surpasses even the top talents of the Divine Realm."
’Someone with one of the deepest comprehensions of Laws in the Divine Realm?’ Max’s eyes narrowed in disbelief. The Divine Realm—the realm of billions of worlds and heaven-defying monsters—how could a mere mortal from the lower domains achieve that level just by meditating before a stone?
