--- Chapter 117 ---
Hearing Alicia's waves of laughter echo, Baek Ain shut off the notification and walked out of the Primal White Tower. The Energy Source recovered and flowed its force into the Main Dimension, which is the Sage Kingdom.
It would take around a month or two for the Sage Kingdom to return to normal.
He approached the Netherworld Panthers and commanded them, "The leader of the pack, come out."
A large black panther with crimson stripes and twin white horns walked forward, kneeling before Baek Ain. "This small panther surrendered to the Great Beast." A manly voice comes out from its mouth.
This Netherworld Panther is the alpha of the packs. He is a Rank 9 Magical Beast or at the extreme peak of the Half-Saint Realm.
Baek Ain glanced down and casually asked, "How long has your tribe lived here?"
"Around four hundred years, Your Majesty." The Alpha Netherworld Panther answered. "Our ancestors were brought by Sky God Fan Gu and given the order to protect this pocket dimension."
"Besides our tribe, there are also the Winged-Beast Tribe and Deep Ocean Whale Tribe."
"You guys came from the Great Thousand World?" Baek Ain questioned while staring at Netherworld Panther's eyes.
The alpha magical beast nodded and replied, "Yes, we are."
"But we have acclimated to this lower plane."
After questioning the panther for five minutes straight, Baek Ain gets a rough idea of this pocket dimension function. The Winged Beast and Deep Ocean Whale Tribes possessed the same strength as the Netherworld Panther Tribe, which is Rank 9 or Peak Extreme of Half-Saint.
"Gather the Alpha of the Winged Beast Tribe and Deep Ocean Whale Tribe within twenty-four hours." Baek Ain ordered casually. "Tell them the inheritor of Sky God Fan Gu will make a change in this pocket dimension and the Sage Kingdom."
"Right away, Your Majesty." The alpha beast nodded.
Baek Ain walked to Yao Ling and Xue Rongrong, noticing their dumbfounded expressions.
He laughed and said, "Let's go."
"Everyone should have been waiting for us on the other side."
'This guy is becoming more and more ridiculous.' Yao Ling uttered in her heart.
Meanwhile, Xue Rongrong smiled happily because the power of Golden Crow was just like what legend stated. So, No one could stop the Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird Tribe from becoming a powerful hegemony in the future.
As the master of the White Primal Dimension and Sage Kingdom, Baek Ain could create a Wormhole with just a thought. He made one that linked to the highest tower of the Clock Tower and returned with Yao Ling and Xue Rongrong.
The Miniature Clock Tower and Number 1 were shocked by the sudden appearance of Wormhole. They are warily staring at it and seemingly ready to fight until three familiar faces greet them.
"Master Ain?" They reacted in shock.
Baek Ain smiled and returned, "I'm back."
"The Energy Source in the Primal White Tower has been recovered."
"I have met Fan Gu and inherited the control of the Sage Kingdom."
The information was difficult to digest for Miniature Clock Tower and Number 1 as they looked at Baek Ain in disbelief.
Baek Ain chuckled and threw the Broken Clock Hand at the Miniature Clock Tower, "Don't stare at me like that. Hurry and recover your full capability with this."
"The Broken Clock Hand!" The Miniature Clock Tower becomes excited, absorbing the metal chunk into its body.
Outside, the Clock Tower recovered its broken hand and spun it like crazy for a few minutes. A dreamy silverish color appeared and extended from the Core Area to all Sage Kingdom, including the Chasing Sky Forest and Infinite Red Desert.
BOOM!
An invisible barrier appeared and condensed the Sage Kingdom into one entity.
Besides the Miniature Clock Tower, only Baek Ain could sense the change in the flow of this place.
The flow of time has become slower.
"So, this is the secret of Sage Kingdom." Baek Ain commented, to which the Miniature Clock Tower responded with a nod.
Miniature Clock Tower's form has changed into human-like, but it is bland as it doesn't have characteristics to determine its gender.
"Yes, Master."
"The true power of Sage Kingdom Realm is "actually." linked to the Primal White Tower, Star-Gathering Formation." And the Clock Tower(Me) absorbed the energy source and altered the time and space, changing this place into a complete dimension."
"This is only possible after you recover both the energy source and the broken clock hand."
"The time here is two times slower than outside, making the energy denser for everyone to become stronger."
"Not bad." Baek Ain nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad, he said..." Yao Ling rolled her eyes. Everyone in the outside world would be crazy for this Sage Kingdom, but this guy said it wasn't bad.
Xue Rongrong giggled and said, "Saint, can you open a few slots for the Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird Tribe's Members? Our younger generations will become much stronger when training here."
"Hey, that's unfair. The Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe also wants to train here!" Yao Ling grumbled at Xue Rongrong.
Baek Ain smiled at them and replied, "Then what about this? Using the Sage Kingdom as the foundation, I'll form my faction and the two tribes could join."
"Of course, there are some rules, but that's for later."
"I'll stabilize the Sage Kingdom first and visit the two tribes in a month or two." He added calmly.
"Okay." The Beast Tribes' Elders agreed immediately.
Baek Ain pondered and glanced at the Miniature Clock Tower, "I'll call you Eden from now on."
"Thank you for granting this little one a name, Master." The Artifact's Soul replied happily.
"Okay, Eden. Your first job from me is to gather every serial in the Sage Kingdom, whether they are low-ranked or not." Baek Ain commanded after some thoughts.
"As for you, Number 1. Call your brother and sisters to this place."
"The nine of you needed to become stronger quickly. Being 4-Star Dou Venerate isn't acceptable if we want to grow as a massive faction in the future."
Hearing Baek Ain's order, Number 1 grinned like a happy child and quickly fetched eight other top serials. They arrived three minutes later and lined up before Baek Ain.
Baek Ain looked at the nine serials and noticed they have gone through a complete gene manipulation Fan Gu has researched but still lacking something.
"Is there any of you proficient in alchemy?" Baek Ain asked while thinking about the first development.
A man in his early mid-twenties raised his hand. He has short blue hair, deep black eyes, and a tall yet lean build.
"Number six, is it?" Baek Ain glanced at the digit on the man's clothing.
Number 6 nodded and replied, "Yes, my lord."
Baek Ain picked a spatial ring and a book from his inventory, throwing them at Number Six. "Study that book and learn to make "Heavenly Nutrition Pill and Blood Activation Pill." He gave the order.
"You have one month."
"T-This is..." Number six peeked into the book's content and was shocked by its profoundness.
Baek Ain was amused and commented, "That book was my journal. You can copy and return it to me in a month."
"I Won't Let You Down, My Lord!" Number Six bowed, leaving his brother and sister speechless.
Diminishing Number Six, Baek Ain ordered the same things about Array and Refining Techniques to the top serials. Luckily, they have two members each in these fields.
It left Baek Ain with five top serials remaining as they focused more on cultivation.
"Number 1, Number 7, and Number 9. You three will be in charge of managing the new Sage Kingdom."
"Number 5, and Number 8. You two will be in charge of overseeing the serials when they enter the Core Area soon."
"Your wish is our command, my lord." They bowed and left the clock tower's highest tower.
Sensing the changes, Baek Ain's lovers awakened one after another.
Baek Ain walked to them and said, "Good morning."
"Morning..." Yafei groggily replied. "What happened?"
"Yeah, what happened?" Yi Xian asked with a confused expression.
"I felt the atmosphere become more lively."
Lan Rou and Cai Lin didn't say anything as they observed the vicinity of the Clock Tower with their senses.
Baek Ain shook his head and explained the rough idea of him becoming the new leader of Sage Kingdom, leaving them stupefied for a couple of seconds.
"Ha, I'm not even surprised." Cai Lin scoffed sarcastically.
Lan Rou nodded silently and added, "Ain always does something like this."
Baek Ain smiled weakly, "What do you mean by that?"
"Anyway, calling it Sage Kingdom is too superstitious." Yi Xian rubbed her chin. "Since you're the new ruler, we can change this place's name, right?"
"Well, yeah."
"What about Ain's Gate?" Yafei proposed casually.
"Too obvious." Yi Xian denied it.
"Golden's Rod Realm..." Lan Rou proposed silently.
The three ladies looked at Lan Rou in a new light and said, "You can't be serious..."
"I mean, we can try..."
"Stop, stop!" Baek Ain broke their conversation. "We will not change Sage Kingdom's Name to Ain's Gate or Golden Rod's Realm!"
Cai Lin smirked and stated, "What about Behemoth Paradise?"
"After all, Baek Ain has a Divine Behemoth bloodline and something massive called Behemoth down there."
"Oy!"
"Agree. We shall call this place Behemoth Paradise." The three sisters nodded in agreement.
In the distant future, many people will be curious about the origin of Behemoth Paradise's name. But they would have never thoughts it originated from Baek Ain's Behemoth Ness.
