Chapter 1219: Good Luck
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the virtual zone, the Shelters where the Three Sovereigns lived had no codes to avoid unnecessary competition. Codes would only be given to the Shelters after the Shelters of the Three Sovereigns were assigned.
The Shelter where the Dragon Sovereign lived was called the Dragon Sovereign Shelter. The same applied to the Shelters where the remaining two sovereigns lived. They were named after the Three Sovereigns’ titles as a rule in the virtual zone. If any of the sovereigns resigned and the new heir was enthroned, the Shelter would be named after the new sovereign. Such a system was simple and easy to remember whereby one would not get the name wrong.
The Dragon Sovereign Shelter was situated in the eastern region of the Central Shelter.
The surface of the Shelter was the biggest Lin Huang and Bloody had ever seen since they entered the virtual zone. The entire Shelter was floating mid-air like a floating continent.
In reality, the Dragon Sovereign Shelter covered 63 million square kilometers. Indeed, it was considered a continent. It was even a little bit larger than the biggest Eurasian Plate on Earth.
However, residency in the Shelters where the Three Sovereigns lived was hard to obtain. Even entry was restricted. There were over five million monsters staying long-term in the massive Dragon Sovereign Shelter, but less than 10,000 monsters were permanent residents.
Meanwhile, compared to obtaining residency, seeing the Three Sovereigns was even more difficult. Monsters below virtual god-level almost had no eligibility to apply at all. Even virtual god-level monsters that were eligible would need to pass the assessments set by the advisors around the Three Sovereigns even if they had submitted their applications.
The assessment would only usually go through when the advisors thought it was necessary for the monsters to see the Three Sovereigns. However, one could not see them immediately even if they passed the assessment. It depended on whether the Three Sovereigns were free. If it was not urgent, determining an appointment with the Three Sovereigns depended on their moods. It was plausible for one to only see the Three Sovereigns one to two months later even if they passed the assessment.
That was the main reason why Lin Huang and Bloody were willing to pay a million to meet the Butterfly Sovereign. They could only stay in the great world for a year and could not afford to wait for one to two months.
However, this time, the Dragon Sovereign had invited them, hence naturally, they did not have to go through the regular process.
The boa monster and the toad monster brought the duo to the Dragon Sovereign Palace directly.
The Dragon Sovereign Palace that was located in the central zone of the entire Dragon Sovereign Shelter was a massive golden palace. Lin Huang and Bloody could tell that it was a god relic by just looking at it.
The double-headed boa monster and the toad monster stopped when they sent them to the entrance of the palace.
The palace door opened automatically. A thick and deep voice came from inside. “Come in.”
It was clearly meant for Lin Huang and Bloody. The duo stepped right in without any hesitation. The palace door closed slowly as they walked in.
Lin Huang ignored the door shutting behind them and lifted his head to peer around.
The Dragon Sovereign Palace was like the Emperor Palace, whereby the surface inside was much greater than it looked like outside. Even the decoration inside was even more sophisticated.
The ceiling in the Dragon Sovereign Palace alone looked much higher than that in the Emperor Palace. It was at least 100 meters. Meanwhile, the ice crystal pillars were as thick as old trees that were 10,000 years old. They connected the ground and the ceiling.
Each pillar had a different dragon carving on it. Those carvings writhed like they were alive when Lin Huang and Bloody looked away from the pillars.
They were looking around while walking deeper into the palace.
However, they did not see the Dragon Sovereign when they arrived at the deepest part of the palace a couple of minutes later. All they saw was a massive ice wall.
Just when Lin Huang and Bloody were puzzled, the ice wall experienced a tremor all of a sudden. They lifted their heads to look and saw a massive head checking them out in a condescending way. The ice wall was just a part of his body.
Lin Huang looked a little solemn now. He realized that his territory and Divine Telekinesis had not sensed the Dragon Sovereign’s existence at all. Although Bloody had no expression standing next to him, she fell into silence.
The massive dragon head only mumbled to himself after staring at the duo for a while, “That aura… You’re really quadruple mutated!”
The Dragon Sovereign spoke again a moment later before waiting for Lin Huang and Bloody to respond, “I’m Bai Bing, a pure dragonkin that’s quadruple mutated and a second-rank True God. Everyone calls me the Dragon Sovereign in this virtual zone. Both of you just came into the virtual zone, am I right? Can you tell me what happened?”
Lin Huang and Bloody nodded and gave a simple self-introduction one after another.
“Grimace, a mysterious-type of quadruple mutated on Virtual God rank-2.”
“Bloody, a wisdom-type of quadruple mutated on Virtual God rank-2.”
“Mysterious-type and wisdom-type?!” The Dragon Sovereign’s eyes lit up when he heard that. The two types of monsters were rare tribes.
The Dragon Sovereign spoke again as his eyes rolled around. His tone was gentle like never before. “It’s my first time seeing a mysterious-type monster, but I’ve seen a few wisdom-type of monsters in the great world. They’re extremely intelligent. We dragonkin are close to wisdom-type monsters, and we’ve worked together many times in the wars.”
“Lady Bloody, you guys can stay at our Dragon Sovereign Shelter temporarily if you’d like to stay in the virtual zone. You can also stay for a long time if you like it. I’ll welcome you with all of my heart.”
Lin Huang wanted to ask, “How big is your heart?” but he thought about it and decided not to. It would be unwise to create trouble at such a time.
“Master Dragon Sovereign, thanks for your kindness, but we’re not interested in staying in the virtual zone.” Lim Huang declined the offer directly. “We walked into the virtual zone unintentionally this time. All we want now is to return to the great world.”
“Since you’ve already come in, why don’t you stay a little longer? You can treat it as a vacation,” the Dragon Sovereign said while smiling.
“We would love to do that too, but we really have something important that we need to deal with in the great world and we must complete it within a year. We can’t even waste a week in this virtual zone,” Lin Huang replied helplessly.
“If that’s the case, I won’t trouble you guys.” The Dragon Sovereign could tell that Lin Huang was not lying. He thought of recruiting them under him, but since they clearly had no intention to stay, it was meaningless to force them. With that, he decided to let them go.
At least, according to what Lin Huang said, it was pretty impossible for them to join another team. Since nobody would get them, he would not lose anything by letting go.
“But let me warn you guys,” the Dragon Sovereign added while smiling, “I’m afraid it’s not that simple a task for you guys to leave the virtual zone. I’m sure that you guys should know by now from asking around throughout the day that you can only look for the Butterfly Sovereign, Cai Yi, if you want to leave the virtual zone. But be warned that she won’t let you guys simply leave.”
“Do you have any tips, Master Dragon Sovereign?” Bloody asked immediately.
The Dragon Sovereign peered at Bloody and shook his head amusedly. “You guys are on your own. That lady is fickle-minded, so I can’t deal with her either. The only thing that I can say to your guys is ‘good luck’.”
Lin Huang and Bloody went speechless right away after hearing the Dragon Sovereign’s answer.
