Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 371 Geraldine and the Dream Snail

The force came so fast that everyone was caught off guard and felt it sweep over them.

Heqia spoke solemnly with Ruye:

"How is it?"

"I don't know! It seems like some kind of soul attack, but it's not quite like it."

The square was filled with tens of thousands of people, including those at the planetary level, some of whom had the lowest cultivation level.

Although everyone felt the attack and looked at each other with suspicion, no one was harmed.

The two looked at Bai Yang, who stood steadily with his eyes closed, showing no sign of anything amiss.

Apart from the icon's light growing brighter, there was nothing unusual.

"Spatial fluctuations!"

The two became alert at the same time and discovered that an old man in a golden robe had suddenly appeared next to Bai Yang.

His face was withered and he looked like he was about to die, seemingly posing no threat.

They understood, however, how terrifying it was for a race focused on the laws of light and time to have someone capable of instantaneous spatial manipulation emerge.

With their abilities, they were practically no match for the enemy, but they had to step in because of their duty.

Fortunately, Bartlett called out just then, "Prince Georgette!"

When the guards saw the man's face, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man looked at Bai Yang, who had entered a state of enlightenment again, and then glanced at the statue.

Point your finger at the statue, and the light on it will instantly go out.

Bai Yang also shuddered, forcibly snapping out of his daze.

He had just recovered when he heard a kind voice in his ear, greeting him:

"Mr. Special Envoy, are you alright?"

Bai Yang replied casually, "I'm fine, thank you."

Then he saw the other person's face clearly; it wasn't the staff member he had thought it was at all.

"Prince Georgello!"

The old man didn't seem to mind and asked gently:

That concludes today's tour.

Shall we go to the state banquet hall to rest for a while?

Bai Yang quickly replied, "That's excellent."

The old man nodded and smiled, then snapped his fingers with his right hand.

Bai Yang and his guards simultaneously shifted in space and arrived at a huge hall.

The whole process was relaxed and comfortable, without any fuss.

The palace was furnished like a reception room, the kind of place only used on formal occasions.

Prince Gegotero sat down in one of the two main seats, indicating that Bai Yang should not stand on ceremony.

After Bai Yang took his seat, he remained silent, unsure of why this powerful figure from the Dream Wings clan had met with him beforehand.

After they each took a sip of tea, Prince Georgello spoke first:

"Special Envoy, have you ever comprehended the Way of the Beast God of the Light?"

Our human race has very few people with this kind of talent left.

Bai Yang was startled. So that's why!

"I only have a superficial understanding of it, and that was only recently."

The old man nodded slightly and said:

"The inheritance of this aspect of the ethnic group is too incomplete, and many people only have a superficial understanding of it."

The fact that you were able to gain some insight by accident already makes you a peerless genius.

No wonder it could activate the Geraldine icon.

Since the other party spoke first, this was a good opportunity to ask questions.

Bai Yang immediately asked, "Your Highness, has Lord Geraldine ever comprehended the Way of the Beast God?"

"Haha, that's for sure."

Our ancestor was the first human to have contact with the [Dream Snail].

Bai Yang quickly asked, "Is 'Dream Snail' the name of the Light-Time Divine Beast?"

The old man nodded and smiled, "That's right! Dream Snail is both a name and a race."

I heard from Aichen that you almost chose the Dream Snail Chaos Stele, right?

You really do have a talent for this.

Bai Yang immediately recalled the scene when he chose the Chaos Stele. It turned out that the giant conch shell with white shell was the Light-Time Beast God!

Prince Georgello suddenly sighed and said:

"The Path of the Beast God is a supreme path to increase strength, but unfortunately, our human race is severely lacking in this aspect."

These are all opportunities that individuals obtain piecemeal; there has never been a perfect inheritance.

In this respect, they are even inferior to some vassal races.

Bai Yang was very curious: "Even Lord Geraldine didn't receive the inheritance?"

She's someone who's actually seen Mengluo.

The old man sighed and said, "Because it is so ancient and so old, it is sometimes both an advantage and a disadvantage!"

Baiyang Special Envoy, would you be interested in coming with me to see the ancestor's notes?

"Shall we postpone the state banquet until later?"

Bai Yang quickly agreed, saying that such a thing was of immeasurable value and he didn't care about state banquets at all.

Seeing that he agreed, Prince Gegottlow snapped his fingers again.

The two suddenly appeared in mid-air.

Bai Yang looked down and was surprised to find himself above the Icon Square!

They were now hidden among a white cloud.

Gegorolo pointed to the statue below and said:

"This holy statue is actually a supreme treasure of the realm, and it also has the functions of some palace-type treasures."

"Our clan's true heritage is contained within it. The fact that the White Sun Envoy was able to trigger its unusual activity is fate."

He grabbed Bai Yang's arm and stepped forward, and the two seemed to enter the space inside the statue all at once.

Bai Yang looked around and found himself in a vast, boundless world.

On the green land, giant white stone tablets stand everywhere, lying haphazardly.

Not far from them, there was a huge stone monument tens of thousands of meters high, which was extremely conspicuous like a pillar supporting the sky.

Gegotro led him toward the stone tablet, and Bai Yang could see from afar that the tablet was inscribed with countless characters.

Upon reaching the stone monument, Gegor Trot did not land, but instead carried him upwards.

After flying tens of thousands of meters, the two arrived at the top of the stone monument.

Bai Yang discovered that there was actually a small statue of Geraldine on the platform at the top of the building.

However, in her hand was a book made of metal.

Around this statue, dozens of elderly members of the Dream Winged Tribe were sitting cross-legged.

Bai Yang sensed them briefly and knew that they were all immortal beings, but he didn't know exactly how strong they were.

No one paid any attention to their arrival; no one even glanced at them.

Gegortro led him closer to the small statue and said to Bai Yang:

"This is the ancestor's notebook."

"Special Envoy Baiyang, you can easily tell with your mental power. I hope you can discover something."

Bai Yang thanked him for his help and channeled his spiritual energy into the book.

These devices were all very similar, and he quickly gleaned a great deal of information from them.

It turns out that Geraldine, although possessing the strength of a peak cosmic overlord, had indeed seen Dream Snail.

But that era is too far back in time.

She doesn't even acknowledge that the Law of Light and Time Fusion is completely different from the Law of Light and the Law of Time themselves.

This being had already achieved extremely high levels of accomplishment in these two laws.

She insisted on finding a connection between the three and forcibly making deductions, which was tantamount to trying to catch fish by climbing a tree.

Therefore, her achievements in the Law of Light-Time Fusion itself were not particularly high, let alone a complete inheritance.

The only thing that truly remains is a secret technique called "Time-Forged Light and Sound".

Bai Yang glanced at the secret technique and was immediately astonished.

"A Law Rune Diagram!?"
