Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2965 1621: The Gate That Opens

"At your command, my Lord!"

Upon hearing Leo Ray's words, the formidable warriors tightened their grip on their weapons. Hollis, Rax, and Payton, the three imposing half-giant physical powerhouses, took the lead in the exploration formation.

As the contingent drew near the ancient wooden door, it swung open with a drawn-out creak.

The instant the door opened, Sheila, perched on Leo Ray's shoulder in her Little Elf form, couldn't help but gasp in surprise. "My Lord, I sense a foreign presence of our kind within the door!"

"Inside the door? Sheila, are you suggesting this is a 'Gate of Truth'?"

Leo Ray swiftly grasped the implication of her mention of a "gate," his countenance etched with astonishment.

Hearing this revelation, even the others present were taken aback, exchanging bewildered glances amongst themselves.

It was common knowledge for everyone to be aware of Sheila's true nature as a Stone Spirit and to understand the profound significance of a 'Gate of Truth'.

However, herein lay the perplexing conundrum: this structure was a relic of the Light Elf Race, an entity that predated the Era of Blankness, originating from the Silver Moon Era. Yet, both the [Divine Stone] and the 'Gate of Truth' only came into existence *after* the Era of Blankness, their timelines starkly misaligned. How could a triple magic prohibition, established before the Era of Blankness, possibly ensnare a 'Gate of Truth' from a later period?

While the group grappled with their confusion, Leo Ray experienced a flash of intuition and promptly summoned Xiao Jie and Xiao Jing.

Responding instantly to Leo Ray's summons, the two Stone Spirits materialized, exuding an air of eagerness and high spirits. Understandably so, as they had been sidelined from the previous engagement due to their less-developed abilities, leaving them feeling somewhat disheartened.

Nevertheless, with Leo Ray's continually increasing strength and his more frequent utilization of power activation, Xiao Jie and Xiao Jing had undergone significant improvements, now nearing the peak of Tier 6.

"My Lord, Sheila spoke the truth. There is indeed an unopened 'Gate of Truth' just ahead, with faint traces of our kind emanating from within."

After focusing and sensing, Xiao Jie bowed to Leo Ray, a confirmation echoed by Xiao Jing's solemn nod.

"So, that ancient door is the very entrance to the 'Gate of Truth'? Little wonder its patterns are entirely distinct from those characteristic of the Light Elf Race."

Leo Ray, lost in thought, gave a slow nod. Then, his brow furrowed in perplexity, he inquired, "But how is it that your perception, which is far superior to that of the Tier 5 Stone Spirit, Little Illusion, only detected the 'Gate of Truth' *after* the ancient door had been opened?"

Having previously ventured into the 'Gate of Wandering,' Leo Ray possessed a clear understanding of its workings.

Under normal circumstances, the three should have recognized the ancient door as the entrance to the 'Gate of Truth' from the outset, considering the entrance itself is an integral part of the 'Gate of Truth.' It shouldn't be the case that one could only sense the 'Gate of Truth' within after the entrance was opened.

Furthermore, the question of how a triple magic prohibition from before the Era of Blankness could seal a 'Gate of Truth' from a later epoch remained. This Light Elf relic was proving to be increasingly mysterious.

"My Lord, you are absolutely correct; logically, we should have perceived the ancient door from the very beginning."

Sheila pondered for a moment before responding thoughtfully, "I surmise the situation occurred because, at the moment of its creation, the 'Gate of Truth' happened to overlap with the sealed area of the original triple magic prohibition's barrier, thereby obstructing our initial detection of the 'Gate of Truth'."

"If that is so, then everything logically falls into place."

Upon hearing this explanation, Leo Ray nodded in understanding.

As is widely known, a 'Gate of Truth' is, in essence, a cleverly constructed delimited area, often situated in an inconspicuous corner of real space, awaiting an individual possessing the 'Key of Truth' to unlock its passage. This particular 'Gate of Truth' had coincidentally formed within the boundary area sealed by the triple magic prohibition. This added an extra layer of concealment compared to other 'Gates of Truth,' explaining why Sheila and the others had not detected it sooner.

"So, this ancient door contains both a 'Gate of Truth' and the mysterious restricted area sealed by the triple magic prohibition?"

Moli's eyes widened with burgeoning anticipation. "I am immensely curious to witness the scene that lies within!"

As Moli peered inside, she observed that the interior of the now-open ancient door was cloaked in absolute darkness, revealing nothing of its contents and only deepening the enigma.

"It seems the stylistic shift in the patterns adorning this ancient door was indeed influenced by the 'Gate of Truth'."

Lila nodded in contemplation. Then, as if recalling a crucial detail, she furrowed her brow and addressed Leo Ray. "My Lord, but a 'Gate of Truth' necessitates a 'Key of Truth' for its activation. Without the corresponding 'Key of Truth,' will this entire endeavor not end in futility?"
