Chapter 792: Twelve Is a Magical Number_2
"I will find a way to stall Abuyi. By then, someone might pursue you. Don't get caught in a fight, evade them."
"There might be major changes after this gathering, so be extra careful!"
Tersko still wasn't at ease. This guy was really rough on the outside but meticulous inside… thinking everything through.
"What is Abuyi planning to do?" Roger asked.
"Years ago, when I had just reached Fifth Tier, I heard that Abuyi was constantly investigating the whereabouts of the Atlas race. He must have discovered something."
"Since then, no one has ever heard any news about the Atlas race."
"A powerful race thus declined, but since then, he started to show some peculiarities."
"These matters aren't something I should know, the leader unintentionally revealed them during later conversations."
Roger nodded.
Everything seemed to fall into place.
Hillrenes unintentionally opened a passage to the Everworld during her escape, which became the last hope for the remnants of Atlas.
A powerful race, declined until extinction.
It seemed that Abuyi definitely knew much about the past events.
Certainly, that old dragon Fernando knew even more.
"It seems necessary to chat with them."
Since I've decided to call this world my home, the pests in the garden naturally need to be cleaned up.
Roger was not in a hurry, hoping to find the right timing to avoid many troubles later.
After all, he could freely come and go to the Ancestral Land of the Silver Dragon Clan, and though this world hid some secrets, it didn't seem to be a big concern.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Roger said to Tersko.
"Don't worry about me, just take care of yourselves." Tersko was bewildered by Roger.
Was it that he didn't explain clearly, or did Roger not understand?
Sonia furrowed her brows, clearly understanding the seriousness of the situation.
"Make sure to take care!" She nodded to Tersko.
"As for Roger, we move together, if... if..."
"Their target is me, so when it really comes to that, you must not hesitate."
"Don't rush to thank me yet." Sonia let out a wry smile.
"I'm not as straightforward as Amanda, but in times like these, escaping one is better than both getting caught."
"I think they won't kill me, phew..."
At this moment, Roger didn't want to explain anything anymore, knowing that whatever he said wouldn't be believed. It was better to save some energy, watch the play first, then wait for the right moment...
Next, Abuyi interacted with several other people in the plaza.
Including Tersko, there were a total of eight Transcendent Worlds connected to the summit, and eight main representatives present.
Additionally, each representative of the Transcendent World could bring up to two companions.
Therefore, this time, Roger saw the largest number of Fifth Tier Transcendents so far.
He was puzzled at first, but then understood the reason.
Within their world, though it appeared as a low-energy world on the surface, clearly, a stronger transcendent force once existed here long ago.
Those eight Transcendent Worlds are the proof.
Thus in the end, even with the world collapsing into shambles, some things were preserved.
In these intertwined chaotic worlds, some Transcendent forces grew strong, not losing to those high-energy worlds Roger had seen.
The Transcendents in front of him were not nurtured by a single world.
But by eight or more.
Moreover, although the numbers were considerable, due to the world collapsing, the power ceiling for many Fifth Tier Transcendents was quite low.
Roger saw many who only had the most basic Uni-element Construction.
Additionally, thanks to that old dragon Fernando, ever since he became a Ring Bearer, there's been no war between the connected worlds.
And the lifespan of Fifth Tier Transcendents was quite lengthy, gradually accumulating over generations until Roger witnessed what he saw now.
Of course, this also demonstrated how powerful that world was before it fragmented.
From this, Roger considered his own mission.
"Could it be like this there now?"
"Celestial spheres converge, they share many similarities."
Bong!
At that moment, there was a heavy sound of bells.
No, it wasn't a bell sound, but the entire mountain was trembling.
Roger was correct, all the buildings he saw were growing on this mountain.
Above his head, circular structures were slowly sinking.
In the center, there were circular seats.
Roger glanced, slightly stunned.
"Strange, why does it feel somewhat familiar?"
"Seems like the high chairs in the Silver Dragon Clan's temple."
"The number is surprisingly twelve."
At that moment, Roger realized many origins of things.
"No wonder those guys in Europe have knights, and then the Zodiac... plus what's in front of us now."
"It turns out these were all imitating the Twelve Dragon Envoys, and wait... here becomes the Summit of the Gods, with representatives from eight Transcendent Worlds appearing here. Does it mean... one seat represents one Transcendent World?"
Roger casually asked Tersko, who nodded, "You guessed right, but now is not the time to discuss these issues. This meeting started earlier than usual."
"Originally, there was a long period left for everyone to interact, but clearly, something happened."
Tersko's gaze was solemn.
"The bell has sounded, we must attend."
He flew up, landing on the seat above.
While Roger and Sonia stood in a position behind Tersko.
Like layers of circular rings.
Inside were the representatives of the Transcendent World qualified to attend the meeting, while the outer layer consisted of the Transcendents who accompanied them.
Roger scanned the surroundings, noticing not everyone had companions with them.
At least that's an exception with Genevieve from the origin of Voodoo Skill.
"Strange, Leon didn't bring anyone?" Sonia's face showed puzzlement.
Roger looked up, who he referred to as Leon was a handsome middle-aged man with neat short hair, wearing a dark red windbreaker with a carefree smile.
Unlike others, Leon appeared casual, even placing his feet on the table.
The most unusual thing was the weapon he was playing with in his hand.
A gun, a firearm.
This was indeed rare, whether it was purely decorative for show, or truly of extraordinary power remained unknown.
This guy was from Armenia, a powerful Demon Hunter.
The Transcendent World he hailed from was known as Hell, filled with strong demons, certainly not a peaceful place.
According to Sonia, her earliest contact with Leon was rejected on the pretext of his quota being full, leading her to find Tersko through other channels.
But now, there was no one behind Leon.
"I shouldn't have brought you here." Sonia's face darkened.
Just then, a beam of light descended from the sky.
A woman appeared within the light column.
That woman was extremely tall, estimated to be near Tersko's height, but the height beyond normal didn't affect her beauty.
The armor she wore seemed infused with sunlight, her proud face carried a cold gaze, looking at everyone with an aloofness.
"Alicia, this meeting is much earlier than usual this year, seems like something important is going to happen..."
Abuyi spoke, "Or some people are worried about something... not wanting us to privately interact for too long."
Seeing Abuyi's meaningful gaze, Alicia took a deep breath.
"I have only one announcement today, which is that this year's meeting will be presided over by my father, the great Dragon King Fernando—"
Boom!
A terrible pressure swept through the scene, and when the energy dissipated, an additional figure appeared beside Alicia.
"Haha!"
Unexpected to Alicia, Abuyi was pleasantly surprised instead of shocked, "That's great!"
"Dear teacher, great Fernando, please tell us about the secret of the space above us..."
"What are you hiding?"
"Don't think you can deceive me, I know you're seeking the power of shadows!"
At that moment, the originally indifferent Roger suddenly sat up straight.
