When Cyrus heard Ace's order, he instantly cried in indignation, "Eh, why?! I want to eat it right now!"
"I'm not asking you not to eat it. Just wait a little longer. It will be under your surveillance, to begin with, so once we're done, you can have your way with it!" Ace sternly stated.
"A-alright…" Cyrus dejectedly agreed since he didn't have much choice as Ace was being extremely serious. So, he controlled the nether fire and encased the feather as he was being told.
The feather had no idea about the conversation between Ace and Cyrus. When it felt the terrifying fire no longer intended to burn it, "Very well, I'll prove to you that I'm not a trial but the Guardian of this place. Youngsters these days are really fearsome!"
It didn't suspect that Ace was tricking him, or why would it? Who in their right mind wants to destroy the Sun Secret Realm in the first place while also taking the risk of offending the Sun and Moon God in the process?
However, Ace's goal from the beginning was the realm core from the start, and if the feather knew it was just aiding Ace by leading him there, no one knew what it would do or think.
But one thing was quite clear. This feather didn't want to die. It was either selfish, or it didn't want to die because the realm would go down with it. Whichever the case was, it won't change Ace's own priority.
The golden feather trembled at this moment before its somewhat embarrassing voice rang, "Can you stop blocking my Qi? I can't open the pathway toward the core area of the realm this way."
Ace narrowed his eyes before he looked at Cyrus, who was still hovering in the air, while he looked at the feather with vigilance and clear hunger.
"Let it use Qi, but if you sense anything amiss, you will have to block it!" Ace commanded.
Following Ace's order, a small gap appeared between the blue flame encasing the feather, and the next moment, Ace felt Qi undulation before a small swirling golden door appeared in the hall.
'Don't tell me this feather is really telling the truth, and it's the guardian of the Sun Secret Realm? But didn't this also mean Cyrus's flames could even subdue this guardian?' Ace couldn't help but think this way as it was very unexpected, and he felt that he had thoroughly underestimated Cyrus's bloodline or any bloodline which didn't belong to the first heaven!
He didn't dare to imagine just what kind of beings he would encounter in the future.
"Alright, make him enter first, and then we'll follow."
As ecstatic as he was, he didn't dare to take any risk with this feather as he might lead them to some deadly trap, so he let Cyrus handle it.
Cyrus coolly controlled the fire around the feather and sent it into the doorway before it followed it, and only then Ace stepped inside the doorway.
Ace was also paying attention to the fate map, and when he crossed the doorway, he saw it almost instantly; he appeared closer to the realm core and the elemental orb. He knew he had hit the jackpot!
When Ace stepped outside the gate, he appeared in another hall, but it was around five miles in diameter, and the temperature and oppression this place was giving were off the charts.
Ace quickly found out why it was like that, though when he looked at the center of this place, there were two sun-like orbs. One was crimson and had a round shape, while the other was golden and of triangular shape.
Both of them were revolving in the center in the opposite direction to each other but in harmony. Crimson and golden strands were gushing out of both orbs, and they were all connected with the floor and the ceiling of the hall, creating a beautiful web of glowing strands.
Cyrus's tiny eyes were filled with grievance, lit up almost immediately when he saw the two orbs and instantly asked Ace, "Can I…"
"NO! Don't even think about it. Those two things are too important for me. You already have that feather!" Ace instantly crushed Cyrus's hope of eating those two things.
If Cyrus ended up devouring them, he had no place to cry and might as well have a stroke. So, subduing the little gluttonous was the top priority right now!
"How stingy! Can I have half…"
"Not even a sliver!" Ace rejected with squinted eyes again, and Cyrus finally gave up with deep resentment in his tiny eyes and vowed to complain to Eva secretly about Ace hoarding all the good things for himself.
pandasnovel.com "Well, as you can see, that is the realm core and the power source which runs all the trials of the Sun Secret Realm. This is solid proof of my identity as the guardian, so you can let me go now, and I'll let bygone and bygone. You can even subdue me, which is enough proof that you have about a 90% chance of becoming the Chosen One so that I won't hold it against you." The feather stated as its previous imposing voice appeared again as if its freedom was now done deal.
However, Ace completely ignored it. Even if he wanted to let the feather go, the little exasperated fellow would definitely not agree.
At this moment, the system's voice rang,
=====
[Host has discovered the Sun Secret Realm's Independent Space Core!]
--
[Please choose an option]
1- Do you want to collect it and destroy the Sun Secret Realm?
2- Do you want to collect it and the Yang Orb while destroying the Sun Secret Realm?
Price: 10 Million Thief Points
--
[NOTE: By choosing the first option, the Yang Orb will be destroyed once it is separated from the core because it is connected to the core!]
=====
Ace's expression instantly darkened when he saw the note and pursed his lips, "Didn't this mean I don't have a choice at all? But how much time will I have before the realm has fully destroyed and merged into the outside world?"
"[If the host chooses the first option, then you will have about 2 hours. But if the host chooses the second option, then you will have another option that can allow you to leave the realm from any existing realm entrance within an instant before the realm gets destroyed!]"
