Chapter 402 - A Monster Has Been Born

"Hm? You recognize this Great One?" The Great One sounded a little surprised when Yuan suddenly mumbled its name.

"Of course. This isn’t our first meeting. You probably don’t remember because they were all separate illusions." Yuan said.

"Interesting..."

After a moment of silence, the Great One spoke, "Come closer, human. I want you to look into my eyes..."

The eyes on the dragon statue suddenly began glowing golden.

Yuan approached the door and stared at the glowing eyes with a calm look on his face.

The next moment, almost as though someone had covered his eyes from behind, Yuan’s vision blackened.

A few seconds later, Yuan could see light appearing from above, causing him to look up.

When he looked up, a massive golden eyeball that was larger than a star gazed down on him like a sun. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

This situation made Yuan recall the time he spent in the starry sky inside his mind at the Tablet of Comprehension. However, there were no stars here— only a single eyeball that felt awfully realistic.

"I will be looking into your memories now, human."

Before Yuan could even respond, the Great One’s sharp pupil contracted, and it began peeking into Yuan’s memories.

"Interesting... You... do not belong to the Nine Heavens..." The Great One spoke in a profound voice.

"Eh?" Yuan wondered just how much of his memories the Great One saw.

"Should I call you Yuan... or Yu Tian?" The Great One suddenly said, bewildering Yuan greatly.

"Y-You can call me Yuan," he subconsciously answered.

"Then Yuan, what do you hope to achieve or obtain in my Dragon Temple?" The Great One then asked, and it continued, "Do you want the treasures inside? Are you hoping to gain enlightenment? Is it my Legacy that you seek?"

"Honestly, I am mostly here for the experience. I am fine even if I don’t obtain any treasures inside or gain enlightenment. As for the Legacy, I am definitely interested in it." Yuan said.

The Great One remained silent for a few moments before speaking, "Truthfully speaking, your talents are too high, and the Dragon Temple wasn’t created with someone of your caliber in mind, as you would simply clear all of the trials with ease, so I am hesitant to let you go inside."

The Great One normally wouldn’t hesitate to let someone enter the Dragon Temple even if that person was very talented, as preventing talented individuals from entering would make the Dragon Temple’s purpose completely pointless.

However, Yuan was on another level. He was simply so talented that even the Great One hesitated to let him inside. After all, if it lets Yuan enter, he would, without any doubt, clear out all of the treasures in the Dragon Temple with ease, almost like taking candy from a baby, and that would be problematic.

"I would normally be ecstatic to find such a talented individual, but you... I cannot see your future."

"Is it abnormal that you cannot see my future?" Yuan asked the Great One, as it should be the other way around— that it’s abnormal for one to see another’s future.
