Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 72 Investment Demand

He hasn't thought it through.

He really hadn't thought it through.

Hera said that the Demons would not know what was said here. But this did not mean that she could really bear the secrets involving all the Demons, or even the entire Mundus universe.

The World Eater will return.

Alduin is the very opposite of Akatosh, and he's just as likely to defeat the Dragonborn as the Dragonborn is to defeat him. If he prevails, this era will end. The World-Eater, having demonstrated his dominance, will devour the entire universe like a cookie and create a new one, even the daedric princes.

This is indeed a slide that cannot be touched at all. Only a rookie like Wu Chen likes to daydream about it.

So he raised his hands in surrender... and continued to think.

"I met a dragon."

"Well, Mirmenil. I knew it—I wasn't expecting it to appear in this form. But she seems to be quite responsive to you."

She glanced at Wu Chen's left hand, and the dragon scale mark on it glowed slightly.

"In time, when you reach the pinnacle of high-level wizards and begin to touch the path of the great wizard, you can begin preparing to fight her. And I think you shouldn't have to keep her waiting for long."

His gaze moved from the back of his hand to his face, and Wu Chen subconsciously wanted to avoid his gaze.

He held back.

"You look like you're in a hurry, after all." His eyes met those lavender ones.

"I have something I have to do."

"I can see that." Hera smiled and nodded, her slender fingertips gently resting on her chin. "Those destined for greatness can occasionally sense their destiny. For example, I know full well that my fate is closely linked to the excavation of the Sattar ruins. And..."

The pretty face is slightly raised.

"Your fate is linked to mine. We are destined to travel to the ruins of Sattar together. But the excavation of the ruins is imminent, and you are not yet capable of being of any use."

The words were very straightforward, and this was indeed the truth. Wu Chen finally understood why Hera looked at him differently. It turned out that there was another reason behind this.

——Damn it, it was obviously my own idea to rely on her to get into the college line!
The thought flashed through his mind, but was instantly erased. Predicting fate doesn't necessarily require a script based on some overarching narrative. Without some kind of supernatural variable, he was destined to achieve his goals only through the academic route.

It's not that 'he is the only one'.

It's 'he has to do it'.

He breathed a sigh of relief and gradually felt relieved - since Hera already knew this information, there was no need for him to dwell on this topic.

"Any suggestions?" He decided to seek Hera's wisdom. After all, he had said so much, so this little bit wouldn't make any difference.

"I can mix a potion for you." And Hera did have a way—she raised her hand, and a complex rune structure converged to form the structure of the medicine. A rich aroma immediately flowed out, and the feeling of hunger also erupted.

I want to drink, every part of me wants to drink.

But... I can't do it.

It wasn't that I couldn't drink it, it was that I couldn't drink it. The urge to swallow it was accompanied by a feeling of fullness that filled my body. Even if I forced myself to drink it, I was afraid it wouldn't have any effect.

"I can't drink it."

"No, you can't drink it." Hera shook her head regretfully. "Your soul is already saturated, and this potion is even more powerful than the one you drank before—you must digest the remaining medicinal properties in your soul and improve its specifications and potential. However, if you choose to digest it through meditation or academic research, I'm afraid it will take at least a year."

Wu Chen didn't have that much time—he only had less than three months. "So, you must fight. Continuously, relentlessly. You must proactively challenge those seemingly invincible foes and defeat them. This will significantly improve your ability to absorb the medicinal benefits and even purify the superficial parts of your soul that rely on inferior willpower."

“…You figured it out?”

"Dragon priests always find ways to use willpower to take shortcuts." Hera smiled. "But to harmlessly grasp and digest willpower, one must be at least a high-level wizard. And you... your private treasure has helped you mitigate a lot of the risk. But there will always be some residual parts, and you have to bear them yourself."

She didn't seem to intend to explore the source of Wu Chen's faith. Perhaps she had already guessed part of the truth. Perhaps Earth, in her cognition, was just a special annihilation plane, just like the library she now controlled.

This was a barrier to knowledge and perception, and not telling her the truth was for her own good. Some secrets were truly horrifying things she couldn't bear. As an outsider, Wu Chen didn't mind, but as someone in Meng Dasi's dream, if he couldn't figure it out on his own, then the moment he knew, he would be destroyed.

and so……

Just give me some guidance.

Wu Chen thought about it.

"Do you know the white walkers?" he asked, trying not to include any obvious references in his words or gestures.

"White Walkers?" Hera tilted her head slightly, her eyes gleaming with calculating intelligence. "I don't recall coming across this phrase before, but it seems to refer to some negative imagery. Some evil, white creature, or phenomenon?"

Wu Chen raised his hand and showed Hera the spoils he had taken from the saddle. The damaged heads were severely damaged, some even being split in two by the force blade, leaving only the remains that had lost their general outline.

"This is a White Walker."

"This is..." Her voice got stuck.

Those beautiful and gentle eyes slowly opened wide.

Wu Chen had never seen Hera Molly's persistence and enthusiasm burst forth, something he had never witnessed before. The corners of her mouth, which had been pulled up politely, stretched rapidly until they transformed into an excited smile.

"So that's how it is... So there's this effect! I understand. The information absorbed by the Oblivion Realm becomes an interactive channel connecting Nirn and the corresponding realm. And the priority of this information absorption can even directly bypass the sub-dimensional barrier... Could this be the underlying algorithm of Mundus?"

She suddenly shut her mouth, her fingers dancing softly. She seemed about to leave immediately, but then forced herself back to her original seat—and in an instant, she was back to normal.

"This is indeed valuable information. You've helped me a lot... Dust, tell me what you want. I'll do my best to help."

"Don't you need more information? I can still..."

"That's enough." Hera poured a cup of tea. "I prefer to explore secrets on my own rather than get answers directly. This situation is perfect."

"I understand." Wu Chen nodded and then thought.

The journey to another world was imminent. Originally, he had intended to contact the captured White Walker King through Hera to obtain the key to the world of Ice and Fire. Then, he would use the power of the wish there to strengthen himself. But now, this plan was no longer feasible.

The world of Game of Thrones is too weak after all.

In the real world, the dragon that might exist above his head was too powerful. Furthermore, he was now afflicted with the protection of Milmenir, so it was hard to say whether he would attract the attention of Duneville's projection the moment he returned.

The only way is to go to the world of the Undead King.

It would be best for you to prepare a shelter that can help you get through the first day safely, at least you won't encounter the forces of the Great Tomb or the True Dragon King as soon as you land and be killed instantly, and you don't need to spend resources to buy shelter or consumable power.

So……

"I want..." he began.
