A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World Chapter 2488

Chapter 2488: Slay the Golden Dragon, Enter the God's Realm!

The golden Chinese words were carved on the sacred stele. A glow from somewhere shone on the words, making them shimmer under the light.

Mag was stunned!

This is the Underground City!

This was the holy item from the skies that the Underground City deemed as the source of law and regulation!

But… Chinese words were carved on it!

!!

On top of that, the words were not traditional Chinese words. They were simplified Chinese words!

"Heavenly Questions" was a long poem by Qu Yuan. It was carved on this sacred stele and was in the center, the most striking part of the sacred stele.

Other than the Heavenly Questions, Mag looked around and saw different famous prose, formulae, theories, music… This could be considered an artifact of civilization's history.

Among all the words, Mag saw a poem. It encompassed a huge country with a long history, through the passage of time, rising to a blue planet and captivating the universe.

Hold on…

All these things were not important!

What is important is why it appeared here?

It had only been a year since he had transmigrated over here but this sacred stele had existed for at least 30,000 years!

The timeline did not make sense!

Mag was sure that this sacred stele came from Earth. The Earth he grew up in.

The system fell silent for a very long time before it let out a soft word. "F*ck!"

However, it quickly deduced for itself:

"God pulled your soul out and threw it at a particular time stamp in the course of time.

"Therefore, you may think that you've just transmigrated over from Earth but you might have actually transmigrated over to this era of Earth, 50,000 years later, on the Norland Continent.

"In these 20,000 years, the flower planting families' country flourished and the blue planet rose, sweeping across the Universe. In order to display its prowess and spread its teachings, it launched several sacred steles.

Doesn't that make sense?"

Mag remained silent for a very long time. It did seem to make sense.

When he transmigrated, the flower planting families seemed to have launched the Heavenly Questions. Great, so after conquering the Universe, it started degenerating? Or was this a form of continuation?

Separated by endless galaxies and across millions of years, when he saw this sacred stele filled with Chinese words, Mag could not help but get teary-eyed. He felt an inexplicable sense of pride.

No matter what, I was born in a flower planting family and grew under the red flag. That is pride!

As he lamented, Mag could not help but grow curious about how to comprehend the laws of this stele.

To the citizens of the Underground City, these squarish words were unintelligible.

However, he was different. Although there were some contemporary prose, poems, and theories that he could not understand, he had no problem reading them. There were even some classical poems and prose that he was familiar with.

This was not a world with high education.

However, upon closer inspection, Mag realized that surrounding the sacred stele were rotating laws and there seemed to be a certain cycle formed between the laws and the sacred stele.

Mag swept a glance at the representatives who had entered the world of the sacred stele together. They looked at the sacred stele blankly, seemingly trying very hard to understand something but their efforts were futile.

According to the rules, comprehension starts once a person enters the world of the sacred stele.

There were no other limiting rules other than not disturbing others and leaving on time.

Mag suppressed his emotions and sat crossed-legged right in front of the sacred stele as he watched the rotating laws around the sacred stele.

As a demi-god, he was no stranger to laws.

The Underground World and the Norland Continent had things in common. To break through to immortality, one has to master one law.

Upon mastering a law, a 10th-tier powerhouse would then be able to cast a law force field.

A demi-god would be able to use the law in his battles and not be restricted to a law force field. Therefore, in a battle, the demi-god would have better flexibility and be in a more advantageous situation. Thereby being able to thrash a 10th-tier powerhouse.

Meanwhile, an extraordinaire has absolute control over a law. He could be one with the law and make his body a part of the law, therefore extending his lifespan.

Therefore, from the 10th-tier onwards, the important thing was to understand the law, and this was not replaceable through training.

Mag observed the laws on the sacred stele for a very long time. The law swam around like a dragon. Mag's vision was going blurry and yet he still had not gotten anything out of it.

An hour later, Mag's eyes lit up suddenly as he gained an epiphany.

After several failures trying to interpret the flowery law with no pattern, Mag stared at a single law for a very long time before finding a pattern.

The laws around the sacred stele appeared to be moving without any pattern but they were all rotating around a section of words, as though the law was created by that section of words.

Mag observed very carefully again. The movement of several laws had proven his conjecture right. These laws were indeed rotating around a certain section of words.

On this sacred stele, the Heavenly Questions had the most number of laws and power.

"Reading it doesn't solve the problem. Could it possibly be sung?" Mag thought for a while. After that, he tried reading out in Chinese, "Since the beginning of ancient times, who has been there to lead the flow of life…"

Just as he started singing, Mag was enshrouded by a cloud of white smoke immediately.

At the top of the sacred stele, countless laws started moving hysterically, as they accelerated, forming a bright light.

"What's going on? Do I really have to use singing in Chinese to unlock it?!" Mag was shocked upon seeing the strange phenomenon. However, since something different had happened to the sacred stele, it was no time to stop. He continued chanting,

"Where did the world come into being before it took shape?

"Who knows where darkness did end, when light and shade did blend?

"When primal matter was the only form, How could it be recognized?

'Brightness became bright and darkness became dark; What has caused them to be like this…?"

As Mag recited the Heavenly Questions, the sacred stele changed. The countless laws actually broke free from the stele and transformed into a five-clawed golden dragon in the air, dashing towards Mag who was beneath it.

A terrifying aura came crashing down. Its sharp claws twinkled coldly, as though it wanted Mag to bow down to it.

Could bowing down to it make him a god?

Mag did not stop reciting the poem. However, as he watched the five-clawed golden dragon, he squinted his eyes a little.

Other than the aura of the diving five-clawed golden dragon, there was a tempting voice in his heart that told him to bow down in order to obtain the five-clawed golden dragon's powers.

Just as the five-clawed golden dragon closed in, its fifth claw reached toward Mag's head. Just then, a black sword appeared in Mag's hand. Mag turned and flipped onto the dragon's back as he stabbed the sword right into the dragon's body.

The five-clawed golden dragon disintegrated immediately and transformed back into the laws as they swarmed toward Mag's body.

Mag felt his body fill up, bursting before healing. It was once again filled up and burst, and the cycle continued.

There were countless laws on the sacred stele and they all stopped rotating at this moment. Streaks of essential energy flowed out of the sacred stele and into Mag's body.

The strange phenomenon from the sacred stele caused strange phenomena in the world of the sacred stele and the Underground World.

In the sky above the stele, a vortex suddenly formed, sucking up all the energy from the sky and earth into the stele.

Colors changed and the world became dim, as though the end of the world was impending.

"What's going on?!"

The three Extraordinaires guarding the place entered the sacred stele almost at the same time. They watched as colors streamed out from above the sacred stele. There were even essential energies of the laws leaking out. Greed overwhelmed them.

Back then, they had only absorbed one law into their body and slowly cultivated it to become an Extraordinaire.

It was already a blessing that they could be recognized by the sacred stele and receive one law.

Right now, there were countless essential energies from the laws seeping out. It was as though anyone could take them. That was the ultimate temptation to any Extraordinaire.

Almost at the same time, all the Extraordinaires in the Underground City felt something.

Be it those who went into seclusion or those who were having a whale of a time, all of them put down whatever they had on hand and rushed towards the sacred stele.

No one knew what else was ahead after becoming an Extraordinaire.

However, all the Extraordinaires wanted to improve further and the only way was to strengthen the essential energy of the law in their bodies.

It was undoubtedly a great opportunity for any Extraordinaire now that the vital energy of the sacred stele was seeping out.

The first to arrive outside of the sacred stele world were three black-robed men with golden masks. They were enveloped in a cold, eerie aura, causing people around them to back away hundreds of meters automatically. They were looked upon with fear and respect.

They were the Immortels. This mysterious and powerful group had become known to the public since the military notice was published.

These three mysterious people with golden masks were three of the Ten Hall Masters from the Immortel group. No one knew which three of the 10 they were.

However, no matter which three they were, the status of the Hall Masters meant that they were already Extraordinaires and were the cream of the crop among the Underground City's powerhouses.

Further out, a crowd of tens of thousands had gathered to watch. When they saw that Extraordinaires had arrived at the scene, they were even more certain that something strange had happened to the sacred stele. That was why these three Extraordinaires came over.

"Big Brother, the essential energy for the laws is seeping out. This is indeed very strange. However, this could help us increase our powers. Even if we just absorb one of them, we might very well be able to master a second law," the small and skinny man in a black robe on the left said telepathically.

"That's right. Big Brother, we'd better enter before those old fogeys arrive. Otherwise, it'll be harder when it gets crowded," the tall and fat man in a black robe on the right said.

The man in a black robe in the middle looked up into the distance and said in a low voice, "They're already here."

Just as he finished his words, a stream of light shone from the horizon. Several silhouettes with strong auras appeared in front of the sacred stele in the blink of an eye.

They were the three Extraordinaires from the Dixon Family. They exchanged glances with the men in black robes and quickly looked away without any interaction.

Soon afterwards, the Extraordinaires from the Top Ten Families started arriving. They gathered outside the world of the sacred stele and did not make any rash moves.

"Such a strange phenomenon has never happened before. What has caused it?" an old man said with a frown.

"A strange phenomenon from the sacred stele. Seems like someone is about to become an Extraordinaire."

"We all became an Extraordinaire at the sacred stele but there wasn't any strange phenomenon at the sacred stele back then. Why is it so now?"

"Could it be that a powerful and holy being is about to be born? Such a scene is only comparable to the recorded day of the arrival of the sacred stele."

The Extraordinaires discussed fervently and all of them agreed that this was a strange sighting.

"Why did such a strange phenomenon happen all of a sudden? Could it be linked to Mag?" Ferdinand had also arrived at the scene. He was standing in a corner and there were two Extraordinaires from the military along with him.

The military was not far from here. On top of that, he paid more attention to this place since Mag was going to comprehend the sacred stele today. He rushed over immediately when the strange phenomenon happened.

When he broke through to become an Extraordinaire back then, he also caused a little resonance with the sacred stele. However, it was just a short moment of rays shooting out from the sacred stele.

The strange phenomenon today caused the color of the skies and earth to change. It was something that was not even recorded in history.

The representatives who entered today were all very talented people. There were only three 10th-tier powerhouses.

Ferdinand thought that Mag would probably be the only one who could cause the strange phenomenon at the sacred stele.

He just did not know what Mag had done to cause such a huge commotion. There were more than 30 Extraordinaires at the scene. Even the Extraordinaires from Tucker City had arrived.

"Let's go. We'll make a move first." With the command of the First Hall Master, the three Immortel hall masters entered the world of the sacred stele at the same time.

Seeing that, the other Extraordinaires also rushed into the sacred stele's realm, afraid that they would lose the opportunity if they were even a step slower.

Upon entering the sacred stele's realm, the Extraordinaires, who were all floating in mid-air, were all pressed down to the ground. They had never felt such a horrifying aura and it was coming from the sacred stele.

At that time, all the representatives who had entered the sacred stele's realm earlier were all crouching on the ground motionlessly, with fear written all over their faces.

Only the three Extraordinaires who were guarding the place were sitting cross-legged 10 meters away from the sacred stele with their eyes closed in meditation. A law streamed out from the sacred stele into their glabella.

The Extraordinaires were all very familiar with this pose. They were trying to guide the law into their bodies to master their second law.

A strange phenomenon had happened at the sacred stele today and the laws were leaking out. It seemed that the laws could be absorbed rather easily, so this was a great opportunity.

After the group of Extraordinaires entered the realm, they all sat cross-legged and started trying to guide the laws into their bodies so that they could master a second law.

The First Hall Master of the Immortel Great hall glanced at the Extraordinaires who started guiding the laws into their bodies and shifted his gaze to a space somewhere else. That seemed to be the end of the vortex and the source of the strange phenomenon.

The Extraordinaires were all guiding the laws carefully into their bodies but countless sources of laws were gushing towards somewhere in the abyss.

Even an Extraordinaire like him who had existed for tens of thousands of years could still feel the fear after sensing the horrifying source of the laws.

After the fear came greater greed.

In his 10,000 years of life, he had already cultivated his fourth source of law. However, there was still a large gap to that legendary realm of being immortal.

However, he saw an opportunity in this change.

If he could replace that fellow in that space and guide all the laws into his body, he would be the true body of the laws and would therefore reach the immortal realm.

A black shuttle appeared, its lights flashing at that space. Four colored laws surrounded it.

"Let me take a look at who brought about this strange phenomenon. I am fighting for this luck!"

The First Hall Master pointed with his right hand and the black shuttle shattered the space, tearing apart the fog and laws, piercing towards the abyss.

Bam!

The black shuttle which pierced through the fog let out a soft thud, as though it had knocked into something hard somewhere. The laws shook a little and silence resumed quickly.

At that moment, Mag, who was enveloped in fog, opened his eyes as he looked at the black shuttle which had stopped 10 centimeters before his glabella. He heaved a sigh of relief.

If it were not for the laws' automatic reaction to protect their owner, he definitely would not be able to block that blow from an Extraordinaire in his top form.

"Old dog, how dare you play dirty! I'll show you who's boss when I become a god!" Mag looked down at the men in black robes and golden masks. The Immortels had come knocking at his door.

As the source of laws flowed into his body, Mag felt as though his physical body had been reformed countless times. At this moment, it was as though every inch of his body had been reshaped to become a better vessel to contain all these laws, or rather, to become part of these laws.

This was a very painful process. However, Mag could also clearly feel himself understanding and controlling these laws at an alarming rate, including those he could not understand initially.

It was as though he was gifted with powers and no hard work was needed. All he had to do was to pull through it.

This felt… great!

The flower planting families are such a great help.

"Hm?"

The First Hall Master felt that the shuttle hit something but the fog did not disperse. He had lost contact with the shuttle and that came as a shock to him.

This shuttle was his life treasure. It could break through any space and anything.

The First Hall Master's expression changed. He was already running low on energy and stamina. Even if he could still pull through a 1000 years, he would still die. If he misses this opportunity, there might not be similar opportunities in the future.

After many dilemmas, he made up his mind.

His black robe fluttered and he rose slowly, against the pressure, towards the core of the vortex.

"Is that old fellow Xuanming trying to snatch my luck?!" Ferdinand was not in a rush to guide the laws into his body so he was the only Extraordinaire around that saw the First Hall Master move.

Besides, after coming in, he had taken a good look at everyone around. Only Mag was missing. It seems Mag was indeed the one who caused this.

Mag could bring about such a strange phenomenon despite it being his first time comprehending the sacred stele. That showed how talented he was. Could he be the Chosen One?

After second thoughts, Ferdinand chose not to do anything and watched
