Chapter Sixteen: Test of Eternity - Part One
Chapter Editing:
At the end of this story, there is a prophecy titled "Behind the Glow of Fate."
"Behind the Glow of Fate," in a language carved before the golden age, hides the mind of the black serpent, after being struck down by the first swordbearer in the universe, the immortal sword body of the Sword Emperor.
He will return again to envelop the universe in eternal darkness, for he cannot abide by the words of the true emperor, and thus he fell.
He seeks to destroy all his principles.
Before we were what we are, and prevent anything we could have been.
This is the path of the black serpent ancestor who pierced the world, the Emperor of the Black Serpent. Do not try to make him what you are. It is a prophecy of the King of the Magical Creatures.
Well, I think I understand the details of this prophecy. It warns the destined person.
Even though I never read about this prophecy in the novel or forums related to the story in my past life, I understood that this prophecy is directed toward the Son of Fate who will emerge in the golden age.
This "Son of Fate" is not mentioned in the novel.
This means there will be many unknown Sons of Fate.
However, I only know of three such Sons of Fate.
But the "Son of Fate" mentioned here is someone whose destiny surpasses all the Sons of Fate I know.
The fate of the person associated with this prophecy is tied to the ancient ancestors of the Black Serpent Clan. It warns the protagonist about the Black Serpent Ancestor.
What I understood from this is that it revolves around the Black Serpent Emperor, who is still alive.
It seems he is the cause of the conflict between the emperors, the reason for the beginning of the current age and the end of the preceding one.
It seems he fell at the end of the previous age.
This means that the protagonist hinted at by this prophecy has no hope of being a normal person.
This implies they are tied to a system.
Or they are reincarnated from ancient times, possessing many skills and tricks.
In short, they are someone destined to dominate the universe, not just the world.
The universe revolves around them.
Under the prophecy, there is an image depicting what happened in the age of the emperors.
This is a warning that the golden age will come, and the Black Serpent Emperor will return, with the goal of destroying the golden age.
He wants to shape the age according to his vision, and there is a warning that the protagonist might turn into someone like him.
This means they may turn into a serpent or possess feelings like the Black Serpent.
In any case, I don't think I know anything about this story or the events that happened.
It seems there are many buried secrets.
It is clear that this is not the golden age.
Then there is an explanation of how the universe was.
In the universe, there are countless worlds, such as the Heavenly Punishment Continent, which is called the "Nine Stars Region."
The Immortal World, the Magical Creatures World, the Combat King World, the Heavenly Punishment Continent, the Mortal World, and the Combat Spirit World.
In the "Nine Stars Region," in ancient times, the Nine Immortal Emperors ruled all the star regions at the ninth level.
Above the Nine Stars World lies the Combat World and the Combat Spirit World.
The last path to becoming the Combat King Immortal must reach the Immortal World.
There are thousands of races in the Combat World, and each Combat King from every race is incredibly strong.
In the distant past, all the races in the Combat World were led by a true ancestor, the Combat Emperor.
The ancestors of the three highest races stand on three pillars, ruling the Combat World and the Nine Immortal Stars Region.
The Master of the Combat World holds the highest noble position and commands many subordinates; they are the strongest in the Combat World, mastering all arts in the world.
Above the Combat World, the Nine Stars Region, the Magical Creatures World, and the Mortal World, there is the Immortal World, which is above these worlds and exists at the edge of the universe.
It is ruled by true ancestors and emperors.
Well, I've gathered a lot of information, especially about the existence of the Combat World and the Immortal World.
I had no idea about their existence in this universe, but I had heard of the Heavenly Punishment Continent, which is called the "Nine Stars Region," and the Magical Creatures World. It was mentioned in the novel.
My clan, the "Red Dragon Clan," to which I belong, is in the Nine Stars Region or the Heavenly Punishment Continent. It contains many areas such as the Beast Domain, Dragon Domain, Ice Domain, Fire Domain, and the Sky Domain, also known as the Phoenix Domain.
The Ice Scorpion Clan rules the Ice Domain.
The Volcano Lion Clan rules the Fire Domain.
In any case, the Mortal World is where "William" came from.
These are the worlds mentioned in the novel.
From my knowledge of the novel, I can say that the Heavenly Punishment Continent and the Mortal World are connected to each other.
As for the Combat World, Immortal World, and Combat Spirit World, they are adjacent to each other.
The Combat World and Immortal World are separate from the Heavenly Punishment Continent and the Mortal World.
The Combat World and Immortal World are located at the edge of the universe.
The Combat Spirit World is in the center, separating the Immortal World and Combat King World from the Mortal World and the Nine Stars Region.
However, these worlds are no longer separate at this moment.
There is a transportation gate connecting them.
While I was reflecting on the information I had gathered, I heard the voice of an unknown person speaking.
The unknown person said: "I didn't expect you to understand all of this from just the image, yet you are not supposed to be here.
You are not the person involved, so do not try to understand the symbols. You won't be able to. I advise you to stop."
"Who are you? Show yourself."
The unknown person said: "Who I am is not important. What matters is that you leave here. Don't waste your time on something that isn't yours. You will gain nothing by staying here. Therefore, you must leave."
"Alright, I'll leave, but answer me first: Do these symbols relate to the true ancestors?"
The unknown person said: "Alright, I'll tell you. You won't be able to understand what these symbols contain. So, I advise you to stay away; you're not destined for this. Do you understand?"
"You say I'm not the one destined for this, how can you be sure it's someone else and not me?"
"However, I am here, which means it is destined for me to gain something. Give me what is destined for me, and I will leave."
The unknown person said: "That doesn't matter. I can see your path and what will happen to you in the end. However, your presence here is due to something unexpected and close, which makes me intrigued by you. You seem like an interesting person. I'll give you a choice. How about I put you to the test? If you succeed in the trial, I will give you gifts and inheritance. Do you agree? Think about it, and if you fail the trial, I will destroy your soul."
"Tell me, what is this trial I will face? I want to know before I give you my answer."
The unknown person said: "Sorry, I can't tell you anything about the trial before it begins. This will be the first trial, and after that, I will tell you about the second trial. You should know that it will not be easy for you; it will be dangerous. But I advise you to take it now while you're at this level of power."
"Why? Is there a special reason I should take the trial at this level of strength?"
The unknown person said: "Yes, because the stronger you are, the stronger the trial will be. It will be a hundred times more dangerous. However, at this stage, due to your level, the strength of the trial will be weaker, and at the same time, it will be suitable for you. There is a great chance that you will be able to complete the first trial."
"Alright, I'll take the trial." And what about my sister, I looked at Mia and found her unconscious.
The unknown person said: "You can do that. I hope you survive; you'll need a lot of strength."
What happened to Mia?
I was transported before I knew what happened with
