Chapter 826: Chapter 814: Muria Courting Death Chapter 826: Chapter 814: Muria Courting Death “Hmm!” Wrapped in a blanket woven from the Wolf God’s Fur, Muria stepped out of the bedroom onto the adjoining balcony. He watched the half-risen sun on the horizon, yawned, and then stretched lazily with great satisfaction.

He felt an exceptional vitality within his Sea of Spirits. He had completed the most important transformation of his life, and he could now say with pride that he had truly come of age.

“The sun has risen, and a new day begins,” Muria looked up at the rising sun with boundless joy. He felt incredibly comfortable, warm all over, with powerful energies circulating inside his body. However, he restrained every ounce of this power within himself, not letting any spill outside.

“It seems that the Epics’ negotiations have concluded,” Muria looked toward where the Holy Light Continent once was, founded on the thousands of Cloud Cities. It was empty, the grand and vast cities were no longer there.

The phenomenon that had plunged the Sterling Subcontinent into perpetual day had disappeared, and the guests attending his wedding had mostly left, with only a few acquaintances remaining in Xena Pus.

“Yo, after half a month of fuss, you finally decided to come out.” Just then, a playful voice sounded above Muria’s head. He looked up and immediately saw a golden-haired girl sitting atop a tower, eyeing him with a teasing gaze.

“Mother?” Muria looked up at the Golden Dragon Mother, his eyes revealing bewilderment, then his face showed surprise as he heard her words. Half a month? Had he been away that long?

“Did you just say I’ve been in the room with Michaela for half a month?”

“Of course, do you think I would lie to you about such a thing?”

“This…” Muria opened his mouth to say something but realized he didn’t know what to say. He felt that the time he and Michaela had spent together was not particularly long. How could it be fifteen days already since he came out? Could his time have been accelerated?

“Do you feel like you didn’t spend that much time with Michaela?” the Golden Dragon Mother asked with a smile.

“Yes,” Muria nodded awkwardly.

“Tsk, it seems you’ve been pent up for too long, and you’ve forgotten the passage of time. The first time I was with your father, it didn’t take that long.”

“Um,” Muria knew he shouldn’t pry into such matters, but he couldn’t control his curiosity and blurted out, “Mother, how long did you and Father take the first time?”

“Ten days!” The Golden Dragon Mother answered her son’s question without any hesitation.

“That… What form were you in at that time?” Unable to suppress his restless curiosity, Muria carefully phrased his long-hidden question with honorifics. He was always curious about this.

Boom! No sooner had Muria voiced this question than a foot much larger than his current ten-meter Titan Form descended from the sky. It landed heavily on him, crushing Muria along with the balcony he was on.

Boom! The nearly ten-thousand-square-meter Central Cloud Island trembled gently, and many creatures living on the archipelago looked up toward the source of the tremor. But when they saw the familiar silhouette, they simultaneously lowered their heads and continued with their own business, without any intention of intervening.

“Cough!” When the foot that had stomped him and the balcony into the ground finally moved off him, Muria, lying in the deep crater, coughed violently. He felt a good number of his ribs had been broken by that stomp, and his Defensive Array beneath him had also been partially shattered by that foot.

“Little Muria, how difficult do you think it is for me to change forms and size, hmm?” The Golden Dragon Mother, now the size of a Titan, looked down at Muria, who was struggling to climb out of the ground, and asked with a gentle smile.

“No difficulty at all. With your talent, Mother, such a thing is naturally trivial!” Muria quickly healed his injuries and climbed out of the pit, smiling sheepishly as he flattered his mother.

He accepted his current situation; after all, it was his own fault. Moreover, compared to the answer he received, he was very content. After all, such injuries were nothing to him.

“Mother…” Just as things became somewhat awkward between Muria and the Golden Dragon Mother, Michaela appeared at the broken edge of the balcony. Hesitating for a moment, she addressed the Golden Dragon Mother, who had magically transformed into a Titan Form.

“Hmm!” The Golden Dragon Mother responded warmly to her new daughter-in-law’s call, and the icy coldness in her smile instantly vanished.

“What did Muria just do?” Michaela glanced at Muria, who was standing on a huge footprint, and asked the Golden Dragon Mother softly. She had been resting, but the tremors from the outside had awakened her, so she came out to look and then saw this scene before her. Such a sight compelled her to inquire.

“It’s nothing much. Little Muria is just being immature and couldn’t keep his mouth under control, so I gave him a little education,” Golden Dragon Mother laughed it off and quickly changed the subject.

“Since you’re already awake, come with me to meet Muria’s grandfather. He’s still waiting for the two of you.”

…

“Grandfather.” After arriving at the Wind King Castle’s Council Hall, Muria saw his grandfather, Akmonde, Lord of the Wilderness, who was sitting there waiting for him to finish his business.

“Mm!” Akmonde answered him in an even tone.

“Grandfather.” Michaela, who had come with Muria, also called out.

“Good child!” Hearing a ten-winged Blazing Sky God Descendant calling him grandfather, a rigid smile squeezed on Akmonde’s face, betraying slight discomfort. He seemed to be the first Epic Titan from the Titan Tribe to ever have a Blazing Sky God Race as a granddaughter-in-law.

“Since you have called me grandfather, as your grandfather I should give you a gift.” Akmonde raised his hand, pointing lightly at Michaela’s hand, and a translucent golden jade stone that seemed to be condensed from thunder appeared in her palm.

“This is the method the Titan Tribe uses to achieve epic status and the secrets of obtaining source power. However, it’s quite different from those of your Blazing Sky God Tribe, so these may only serve as a reference for you when you aspire to become a Blazing Sky God someday.”

Hearing Akmonde’s words, Michaela picked up the crystal in her hand and attentively sensed the information within.

“Muria, I called you over because of that first gift you received from the Blazing Sky God Tribe; you must be very interested in the information it contains, right?” Akmonde turned his gaze back to Muria.

“Yes.” Muria quickly nodded. He was, of course, very interested in the information related to epics, especially as it involved how to obtain source power—the root of Epic Power is the mastery of this force that can evolve all things.

“There’s not much to say about the practice of epics, as they are more or less the same, and the core essence is still source power. Without the aid of source power, this practice is meaningless. So I will tell you about the source power method of the Blazing Sky God Tribe.

But before I do, let me first tell you about our Titan Tribe’s secret method of obtaining source power. You should have already heard a brief description from the Mechanism Emperor. Our Titan Tribe gains source power through saving or destroying worlds, but we Titans generally dislike destruction, and most of our source power comes from saving worlds.

Our secret method is related to this. We can hear the wails or calls for help from worlds, using the sounds emitted by worlds on the brink of destruction to quickly locate them and then rush to their aid. When we save a world from destruction, the world grants us source power in gratitude.

However, this way of obtaining source power is too direct, so it’s very easy to encounter Evil Gods, which results in a high casualty rate for Titans. By contrast, the Blazing Sky God Race’s method of gathering source power is much gentler, though the only downside is it is time-consuming.”

“Time-consuming?” Muria was speechless. To an Eternal Life Being, how could a long time be considered a disadvantage?

“Muria, do you know how important source power is to a world? When a world lacks source power, it will collapse and fall into destruction. Source power is the life of a world. However, when a world has plenty of source power, it will complete its ascension. A small world will advance to a medium-sized world, and a medium-sized world to a large world. Our world of Elasia has gone through this process twice before.”

“Elasia was once a small world?” Muria was astonished; this was the first time he had heard this.

“What small world, who told you that? Elasia was a large world right from the beginning.”

“Then our world has advanced twice in a row…”

“Are all large worlds the same? They too have their strengths and weaknesses. Now, the world of Elasia has reached the pinnacle of the Material World. When I traveled the outer realms, I hardly saw any large worlds stronger than ours.”

“And the Blazing Sky God Race obtains source power by aiding world ascensions, first by having a Blazing Sky God Descendant choose a world and then becoming the Lord of that world.”
