Chapter 4189: Consolidating Identity
Chapter 4189: Consolidating Identity
I looked around and saw every person standing in front of their stele.
I could see them, but not clearly. I could see who they were but not what they were doing. It is the same with the stele, which has a similar formation to mine.
This is why everyone is restricted to their area.
The challenge had already begun as I stepped inside, and I had twenty-four hours to finish it, which would be a daunting task.
These formations aren't easy, especially the last.
I am still connected to my clone. The forbidden power had increased enough to maintain the connection in restrictive places like this.
They have already started working on it, but I have sealed my connection with them.
I will solve it with my own abilities. If I didn't, I would take their help, but I hope I won't have to.
I want to solve it on my own.
Many already started. I could see it that much, but I didn't move from my spot. I kept watching for over six minutes before I moved.
I stepped beside the stele and began to shift runes.
Buzz!
Two and a half minutes later, a buzzing sound rang out, and the stele turned green and lit up brightly enough that I felt every neck turning toward me.
I couldn't see their faces, but I could feel the shock.
To be honest, there is nothing shocking. My understanding is in advanced grade, while the first layer was basic.
I am feeling a little ashamed that I didn't solve it within five minutes.
The shine lasted for a moment before it turned normal. However, instead of white, it is now green, with the first layer turning grey.
I focused on the second layer. It's tough, but I don't mind the toughness of it.
It made me excited.
Soon, half an hour passed. I saw a green shine; I looked at the person for a moment before focusing back, and soon, a smile appeared on my face.
I moved my hand toward the runes of the second layer.
Buzz!
Seven minutes later, the buzzing sound rang out, and the stele turned red.
In less than an hour, I had solved the two layers. I could see them looking at me. I only looked back at them for a moment before focusing on the third layer.
It is the toughest one, and I do not have complete confidence in solving it on time.
The third layer had only been solved two times before.
It is hard to believe, but it is true, seeing the long lives of the primes and the knowledge they had accumulated at that time.
It's not because people don't have capabilities. Oh, many do, like that elf woman who had just solved the second layer.
It's just that this is the realm where mostly Sky Sovereigns come here. A few primes come here, but they are mostly young.
They had come this time because of me for the forbidden power.
I stopped as I got stuck and studied it for a while before moving the runes again. I did it over and over, making more and more progress.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Doon, ten hours passed, and I am still working on the formation.
It's a tough one, but I am making steady progress, which has given me confidence that I might be able to solve this formation.
I didn't have much confidence when I started, but now there is. Which gave me confidence, and I focused more.
I could have taken the easy route and let my clones do it, but that is a hole. I do not want to walk into it.
I need to keep improving. If I depend on my clones, I won't be able to improve. Especially now when I could sense the laws, not my clones.
Its laws and runes have a tight connection.
They are a representation of laws, and it's why those who study the runes have a greater comprehension of the laws than the others.
I am going to focus a lot on it, and I will have time since there will be no organization behind
it.
I could spend months working on it without any trouble. The only thing I have to do is
consolidate my identity, and this is the best place for it.
Here, the prime belonging to nearly every organization is present.
If I solved the third layer. They will never think of me as Micheal Zaar. No, Sky Sovereign could have knowledge of ancient runes to such a degree.
This identity of an advanced-grade runemaster will also help me a lot.
There are very few in the world, which makes us very important. Seeing the runes needed in everything, and the ancient runes are the only choice for the level of Prime and above.
So, I pushed every other thought I had in my mind aside from the formation in front of me.
I forgot everything, including the impression. I have to make on these people to consolidate my identity; the only thing I saw were the runes.
Buzz!
I don't know how long it passed, but I slid the last runes into its place and heard the buzzing sound, which brought me back into the world.
I saw the stele turning black. Turning the whole place dark for a moment.
I saw everybody looking at me and kept looking for seconds before they turned to their stele.
I turned back to mine too, as now instead of runes. There is an interface with a list of rewards, and these rewards are amazing.
It is for the reward; these people have come here. These are the rewards that will make even Prime salivate.
There is everything here. Methods, artifacts, rare resources, and many other things. My head began to spin as I looked at them.
'Which one do I choose?' I asked my clones.
For these decisions. I could depend on them. If I left them to me, I would want everything, but unfortunately. I could only choose one thing.
