"No... The energy of the [ Worldstone ] is too immense; the [ Throne of Chaotic Times ] simply cannot absorb it..."
Before Cain could finish speaking, Sun Fei had already pressed the Worldstone into the indentation of the Throne of Chaotic Times.
In an instant, the surging, soft, sky-blue light throughout the laboratory, like a whale sucking in water, all disappeared into the indentation on the [ Throne of Chaotic Times ] chair. Then, fine sky-blue lines appeared on the edge of the indentation, trembling slightly, like capillaries in the human body, contracting and expanding, frantically drawing energy from the [ Worldstone ].
Sun Fei and Uncle Cain's eyes were fixed firmly on [ Throne of Chaotic Times ].
Even the Little Raccoon that kept looking around, and the nun who was engrossed in some mysterious experiment in the distance, were staring intently at the strange phenomenon produced by the [ Throne of Chaotic Times ].
The immense energy within the Worldstone surged towards the Throne of Chaotic Times like a flood bursting its banks. Those present even had the illusion that a tidal wave was roaring and surging in their ears. The thin, light blue 'capillaries' in the depression of the Throne of Chaotic Times continued to grow and expand, transforming from 'capillaries' into 'arteries'.
Two blue 'aortas,' each at least as thick as a thumb, spread out, constantly branching out and branching out into more tendrils.
Finally, a fine, dense sky-blue light filled the entire [ Throne of Chaotic Times ].
This scene felt incredibly eerie, like a dried-up corpse that had been dead for countless years suddenly gaining a second life. Each contraction and expansion of those fine, dense tubes was as if a heart that had been dormant for millennia was beating once again.
The Worldstone, embedded in the Throne of Chaotic Times, is slowly shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye.
This process lasted for about ten minutes.
In the end, the Worldstone was reduced to a size smaller than the tip of a ring finger, and the Throne of Chaotic Times seemed to have finally 'had its fill' and no longer drew energy from the Worldstone.
The [ Worldstone ] slowly floated up and returned to Sun Fei's hand.
At this moment, a strange change occurred in [ Throne of Chaotic Times ].
As the blue 'veins' faded and disappeared again, the surface of the [ Throne of Chaotic Times ] began to writhe. The silvery-white unknown material began to decompose and change. Runes that had never appeared before appeared and disappeared, flowing like water ripples. It was as if an invisible hand of nature was re-sculpting the surface of the throne. The originally dull gray stone surface became shiny, and the rough surface became a delicate surface with a rich natural texture.
Just like the ugly duckling that transformed into a swan after going through countless hardships.
Ultimately, the appearance of [ Throne of Chaotic Times ] changed drastically.
Two colossal dragon-like mythical beast carvings stretched along both sides of the throne's steps. Their powerful and robust bodies snaked upwards, coiling around the armrests on either side. Their ferocious heads protruded from the top of the armrests, their gaping maws filled with menacing teeth, as if they were alive. On each step, countless other mythical beast heads emerged, their deep eyes like those of Demon God, gazing down upon the crowd.
On either side of the throne's armrests, below, are two indistinct Goddess statues, each less than a meter tall, reclining on the steps, holding divine discs in their hands. Above these Goddess statues stand two fully armored God of War statues, each less than a meter tall, lifelike in scale, exuding an aura of superiority and detachment, like God of War from the heavens, serving the throne's master with infinite loyalty.
There are four small statues on the left and right sides, all of them lifelike, with their eyes closed, giving one the illusion that they would come to life as soon as they opened their eyes.
The only slightly surprising thing was that both the plates held by the two Goddess statues and the outstretched palms of the two God of War statues should have contained something, but they were empty, leaving one with a sense of emptiness at first glance.
The throne retains its silver-white color, a very holy and majestic hue, with a natural, warm, and harmonious texture.
"Is this... the true face of [ Throne of Chaotic Times ]?"
Sun Fei forced himself to suppress the shock in his heart and walked step by step to the front.
As if sensing Sun Fei's arrival, [ Throne of Chaotic Times ] automatically and slowly landed on the ground, as light as a goose feather, without stirring up a single speck of dust, as if it had been waiting for Sun Fei's arrival.
tread!
Tap tap!
Sun Fei stepped up the stairs below the throne, turned around abruptly, and sat down on the throne.
"This feeling... it's like becoming one with myself..."
Sun Fei sat quietly on it, his palms gently caressing the armrests on both sides. They felt warm and smooth like jade to his touch, extremely comfortable, giving him a sense of connection with the world. It was as if, at this moment, he was sitting on the top of the world, looking down on all living beings, like the supreme king of gods, the king of kings.
The Little Raccoon sat on Sun Fei's shoulder, looking around comfortably, its eyes narrowed into slits.
The little guy clearly really enjoyed the feeling of being on the throne.
"Haha, so this is the true face of the [ Throne of Chaotic Times ], haha, interesting, really interesting..." Old Man Cain stroked his goatee and chuckled. For him, this was no different from conquering a difficult magical hurdle, making him ecstatic. He couldn't help but reach out his old hand to touch the [ Throne of Chaotic Times ], excitedly saying, "Sun, I'm sure you've found a treasure! This thing is no less powerful than a divine artifact, haha... Hey? Ouch!"
Before the lecherous old man could even touch the [ Throne of Chaotic Times ], he was repelled by an invisible force, stumbled, and almost fell flat on his face.
"I didn't mean to!" Sun Fei exclaimed in surprise, quickly jumping down to help the sleazy old man up. "What happened? Does the throne exclude outsiders?!"
"It's alright, it's alright, haha, this is really interesting," Uncle Cain was engrossed in his research, completely ignoring the mud and bruises he'd gotten up in. He glared at Sun Fei and said, "Why did you get down here? Go back and try it again. What other functions does this throne have? Didn't you say you felt it could travel through time? Go try it, haha, go try it..."
Sun Fei: "..."
Although he was a bit sleazy, Cain's obsessive work ethic was something Sun Fei could only dream of.
No wonder this cowardly, greedy old man could become a living encyclopedia of the Diablo World's past and history, knowing all the magical mysteries and secrets lost in the dust of history and endless wars. In some aspects, his erudition even surpasses that of Sister Akara.
Sun Fei sat back down on the [ Throne of Chaotic Times ], his hands resting on the heads of the divine beasts on either side.
He suddenly remembered the closed [ God and Demon Palace ] level 36 difficulty area small world. A thought flashed through his mind: after receiving the energy replenishment from the [ Worldstone ], would [ Throne of Chaotic Times ] be able to break through the invisible barrier and return to that small world?
The moment the thought crossed King Majesty's mind, the Throne of Chaotic Times suddenly trembled slightly.
"Huh... wait?... ah, it actually... disappeared?" Old Cain's mouth dropped open.
A transparent, colorless ripple spread out before their eyes, and the [ Throne of Chaotic Times ], along with Sun Fei on it and the little, useless magical beast standing on Sun Fei's shoulder, vanished completely without a sound or any unusual phenomenon, simply melting into the air before their eyes.
"My God, this throne... what kind of divine artifact is this? It can actually pass through the Space Barrier constructed by the Sub-Divine Runes in this laboratory and leave directly. Is there anywhere in this world that can stop him?"
Looking at the streaks of light that moved erratically on the laboratory wall, Uncle Cain suddenly realized something and was utterly shocked.
The stones that constructed this laboratory city were actually formed from the Sub-Divine Runes that roamed the walls. They could even block the turbulent flow of time and space, demonstrating their unparalleled sturdiness. The fact that the [ Throne of Chaotic Times ] could penetrate such a stone Barrier was truly astonishing. If that was the case, then there was probably nothing in this world that could hold Sun Fei back.
"That's not necessarily true. Look at that one."
Sister Akara, who had been engrossed in her experiments, looked up and pointed to the sky-blue Teleport portal Sun Fei had left behind, saying, "With this spatial passage, we don't need to pass through the Barrier constructed by the Sub-Divine Runes. Although the [ Throne of Chaotic Times ] is extraordinary, it hasn't yet unleashed its true power in Sun's hands, so it won't break through the demigod Barrier in one go."
God and Demon Palace.
Level 36 difficulty area, the core small world.
Two streaks of light, one red and one gold, moved at a speed that was impossible for ordinary martial artists to perceive with the naked eye, one after the other, and began a frantic chase.
A sharp, piercing sound tore through the air.
" Yassin, you've forced me into this situation. I swear, if I escape, I will lead the Royal Mage Corps of the Lyon Empire to annihilate your Zenit Empire's capital, leaving no one alive..."
A furious roar echoed through the sky.
The figure fleeing for his life ahead was none other than Domenech, Great Sun-Rank Venerable had been defeated in battle against Emperor Yassin just over ten days prior.
