Chapter 956: Chapter 85: I Am the Prophet! (6200)_4
"No need."
Ian shook his head slightly: "The time you need to disguise my identity definitely wonât be long, and even if there is, you just need to stay in the laboratory, pretend youâre experimenting, and occasionally record a video; you wonât be recognized."
"As for work, I will instruct Scott and the others in advance to tackle it. You can simply assume I am in seclusion at the lab; itâs not troublesome at all."
"No problem at all."
Sio agreed cheerfully, finding no difficulty in the requestâin contrast, she was even more interested in what Ian could possibly need to leave his territory for: "But havenât you been busy with the development of your territory in recent years? Do you really have time to leave? I can only help with the disguise, but I canât actually do the real work for you."
Ian shook his head slightly: "I donât know what it is exactly, but Iâm sure there will be something. Not to mention, if thereâs any issue with Canaan Moore or Anfa, Iâll definitely need to go there."
"You talk like that."
Sio was somewhat puzzled: "Why do you speak like the Prophet, all conjectures, yet so certain..."
"I am indeed a Prophet, you know," Ian shrugged, while Sio shook her head: "I know, the Prophet of the Descending Thunder... wait, youâre not joking just now?!"
True Dragons have a far superior sense of discerning truth from lies than Ordinary people, and she initially thought that Ian was merely jesting. However, she belatedly realized that Ian had indeed spoken the plain truth.
This revelation startled her.
âThe Prophet, thatâs a Prophet! Rarer than True Dragons, there are only a few in the whole Terra Continent, and even the Four Great Orthodox Churches canât guarantee a hundred percent succession of a Prophet!
And thereâs one right before her eyes?!
"Yes."
The Dragon Maiden looked at the smiling young man in front of her in astonishment. Ian calmly said: "I am a Prophetâthatâs how Iâve managed to accomplish so many unimaginable things, achieving such incredible feats."
"You are among the first few to know this fact."
Having said this, Ian slowed his speech, his eyes meeting with Sioâs, giving her time to ponder: "The reason Iâm telling you now is that I plan to gradually reveal that I am a Prophetâand you, Iâve just seen a glimpse of your future."
"Sio, how much do you know about the âDragon of the Illusionary Realmâ?"
"Prophet... Dragon of the Illusionary Realm..."
Sioâs expression of surprise had not yet fully faded as she muttered to herself: "No wonder, no wonder you moved through the Subspace Labyrinth as if you had foreseen the future... Oh, you actually foresaw the future!"
"No wonder, I never hid anything from you from the start, and probably Anfa too, right? I wondered why you were always so composed, even when being hunted down, not the least bit scared. It turns out you already knew I and Anfa would intervene!"
"Great! I now have a Prophet as a friend!"
Despite thinking a lot, Sioâs final thought still settled on âgreatââbefriending a Prophet was also an unprecedented experience for a True Dragon.
However, her understanding of the Dragon of the Illusionary Realm was quite vague: "I only heard about it decades ago, while I was resting in the Dragon Nest, during a communication between my mother and Dragon Island. I heard that the Void Dragon Tianyu Lamilton had passed away, leaving no heirs or successors. His Inheritance was vacant, calling for the nearby True Dragons to recover it."
"At first, my mother didnât want to go because she wanted to take care of me, and I didnât want her to put off her duties because of me, so I forced myself to chat with her for a while, and then she set off for recovery. I remember this clearly due to that."
"Inheritance?"
Hearing this, Ian couldnât help but frown deeply.
Void Dragon, perhaps thatâs the name used among True Dragons for the Dragon of the Illusionary Realm, or it could be the name of that generationâs Dragon of the Illusionary Realm... It seems that this line of True Dragons has long existed, yet nobody has continued the Inheritance?
Could it be that the power obtained by the Fifth Generation True Dragon after achieving the Fourth Energy Level has something to do with such Inheritance from a predecessor?
It doesnât seem so... or rather, it should not be completely related. The Inheritance must have a connection with the power of the Fifth, even the Fourth Generation True Dragons, but it is not the entirety.
For some reason, an image of the Dark Gold Dragon that Ian had once encountered on the Spirit Disaster Path suddenly surfaced in his mind.
Such a powerful dragon, capable of pushing past the gravitational pull of the Solar System with its strength alone, venturing into the Cosmic Starry Skyâshould it be a new generation True Dragon.
Then, whose power has it inherited?
