"Huh?!" The Dragonkin, Enki, felt the presence of the object in Bexia's hand and his eyes lit up. He asked, "What is your relationship with the High Priest? How did you end up with this thing?"
"It's nothing. I was tricked by that guy. He told me to awaken the power of some Dragon God!"
"Awakening the power of the Dragon God..." Yanji furrowed his brows. After becoming a guardian here, he couldn't die but couldn't leave either. He had no idea what was happening in the outside world.
"What happened outside? Why did the High Priest want to awaken the Dragon God?" Yanji appeared in front of Bexia in an instant and stared at him with his dragon eyes.
"I don't know. That guy only mentioned there were two invaders, but he didn't give any details!" Bexia replied nonchalantly.
"Invaders?!" Yanji's frown deepened. After a moment of silence, he said, "The information you've brought is crucial, human. It's unthinkable that someone would dare invade the Dragon God's realm of annihilation. They deserve to die!"
Yanji extended his hands toward space and tore it apart like ripping cloth, revealing a vast void of darkness inside.
"Human, follow me!" Yanji stepped inside, and after a moment's hesitation, Bexia followed suit. He had nowhere else to go, as he couldn't leave this place even with his Eight-Pole Umbrella. It was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
After stepping into the dark void, as if crossing countless distances, Bexia found himself in a white space. There were four other dragonkin here, including Yanji, each representing a different element: red for fire, blue for water (ice), greenish-blue for wind, yellow for earth.
The four dragonkin simultaneously looked at Bexia, and Yanji casually said, "Human, repeat the High Priest's words to them!"
"He said there were invaders who stole the Dragon God's power. He asked me to awaken the Dragon God's power and eliminate the invaders!"
"I had a feeling that something was wrong. The formation started to malfunction a long time ago. It seems there's a problem." The dragonkin with long blue hair spoke. Though he floated in the air, the place he stood emitted a strong cold aura.
"I can't believe someone would dare to steal the Dragon God's power. They don't know their own limitation!" Another dragonkin with gentle wind surrounding him said.
"It's a shame we cannot leave Trail Land, otherwise, I would tear those scoundrels apart!" The last dragonkin with long yellow hair spoke. He didn't have any obvious characteristics, but his muscular body under the battle skirt was full of explosive power.
"We're unable to leave this place, but those who attempt to steal the Dragon God's power will not be spared. They will pay the price!" The four dragonkin seemed to completely ignore Bexia's existence, leaving him on the side. After discussing for a while, they finally turned their gaze toward him. Yanji made a grabbing motion toward the sky, and in an instant, the distance of twenty to thirty meters disappeared. Bexia appeared before the four dragonkin, who, even without their imposing aura, were still terrifying to behold.
"Human, your mission is to awaken the Dragon God, and we will help you reach your destination quickly."
"Can I choose not to?" Bexia sounded somewhat helpless and annoyed. These guys in front of him were just as detestable as the High Priest, looking down on others with an authoritative tone that couldn't be refused.
"Do you humans think you have the right to refuse? Since you are chosen by fate, you should walk according to the track of fate!" said the dragon person with green hair.
"Of course, we won't let you help us for nothing. You can consider this as a trade, and we will give you satisfactory compensation!" said the two people with blue hair.
"Okay then! Since I have no choice under the circumstances, I can only compromise with you." Bexia had no choice but to compromise with them.
"Since that's the case, let's follow the rules!" Yenji grabbed Bexia's shoulder and in the next moment, they appeared inside the trial palace.
"Why did we come back? Weren't you supposed to send me to the final destination?" Bexia asked.
"The rules of Trail Land cannot be broken. If you want to go to Trail Land, you have to pass each trial one by one!" Yenji explained.
"These are your rewards, but you can only choose one!" Then he waved his hand and three more items appeared. Compared to the previous three, these items were shining with golden light and had extremely strong magical fluctuations.
"These are champion-level items. One is a defensive armor, one is a champion martial skill, and the last one is my personal support for you, containing my insights from being an apprentice to a monarch!"
Yenji's words made Bexia pause. Was he trying to show goodwill? It was obvious that he wanted Bexia to choose the last item, and although insights couldn't directly enhance one's combat power, they were the most precious things that could help one become stronger in their cultivation journey. Especially since Yenji said these were insights that led him to become a monarch, their value was terrifying.
"I have a question to ask." Bexia said.
"Speak! The wisdom of the Dragon Tribe will answer for you."
"Now that the champions outside have reached their peak, I want to ask how these levels are classified." Bexia naturally felt puzzled when they referred to these levels.
"Then you tell me how the outside world's classifications are."
"Starting from the lowest, it's Subpar, Lower, Middle, Upper, Extreme, Champion. I think I roughly know about Monarch, and above that is Saint, right?"
"It seems that the outside world has reached its limit, and it's probably entering the phase of magical tide. However, it seems that the champion level is a bit low!" Yenji shook his head and then said, "The classifications I mentioned are the expenditure of the Myriad Realms, and they are similar to your classifications. They are Apprentice, Extraordinary Junior, Extraordinary Intermediate, Extraordinary Senior, Extraordinary Limit, Champion, Monarch, Saint, Immortal, Eternal, Demigod, and Supreme True God!"
"And I am a Saint-level existence, even in any plane, I am a powerful being!" Yenji's tone was full of arrogance. The power of a Saint could easily destroy a continent.
"Myriad Realms?!" Bexia caught a new term and asked again, "Isn't our world the only one?"
"Hahaha! Ignorant knowledge. This world is just a tiny existence among countless planes. Although it used to be a million-level dimensional plane, according to what you just said, it seems to have regressed to a thousand-level or even a hundred-level dimensional plane!"
