Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2985 1631: Construction and Doubt (Part 2)

"It includes not just spellcasters, but also formidable races like the Dragon Clan and the Winged Race, along with numerous Sky Knights. While direct confrontation might not be necessary, possessing such abilities is undeniably advantageous."

Musing over this, Leo Ray's second foundational secret skill was successfully forged.

"Truly worthy of your Excellency, no, worthy of the Master!"

The Stone Spirit, unfamiliar yet present, displayed a wheat-colored face etched with deep reverence and joy. It grinned mischievously at Leo Ray, suggesting, "Master, how about we christen this second secret technique 'Lord's Suppression'? It sounds rather formidable!"

"Very well, your suggestion it is," Leo Ray agreed, patting its head with a gentle nod.

"Now, only one final matter remains."

The Stone Spirit's ashen face lit up with renewed anticipation as it eagerly implored Leo Ray, "And that is to bestow a name upon me!"

"Indeed, this is a crucial detail that cannot be overlooked," Leo Ray concurred.

After a brief contemplation, Leo Ray snapped his fingers lightly. "Let's call you Dali. It befits your Titan Power."

"Ah? But I'm presenting myself as a female knight!" The unfamiliar Stone Spirit hastily waved its hands, pleading earnestly, "My Lord, could you perhaps grant me a name similar to Sister Sheila's?"

"You raise a good point. The name Sheila does possess an ancient charm. Compared to that, Dali does seem rather abrupt," Leo Ray mused, a hint of helplessness in his smile. He pondered a moment longer before announcing, "How about Jing Hong?"

"Jing Hong? I adore this name!" The unfamiliar Stone Spirit exclaimed, leaping up with elation. It then solemnly knelt before Leo Ray, executing a perfect knight's salute. "Master, the contract is sealed. From this instant, Jing Hong is your devoted servant!"

Jing Hong's wheat-colored features radiated excitement. Her tall frame, clad in shimmering silver armor, suddenly erupted in a brilliant golden radiance. In the next moment, Leo Ray felt a tangible weight settle into his palm as he once again held the [Divine Stone].

As the dazzling luminescence emanating from the [Divine Stone] gradually subsided, Leo Ray found himself standing alongside a cadre of powerful individuals once more, the long-absent system prompt resonating in his ears.

[Congratulations, the "Divine Stone σψ" (Quality: Legendary) has established a master-servant contract of truth-seeking with you and is now your exclusive artifact!]

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray shifted his gaze to the attribute display of the [Divine Stone] in his hand.

[Name: Divine Stone σψ] (Activated)

[Quality: Legendary]

[God's Power: 100%]

[Owner: Leo Ray]

[Constituting Secret Skill One: Lord's Intimidation (Transforms into Titan form, bestowing enhanced speed, the ability to enter a berserk state, and immunity to berserk's detrimental side effects)]

[Constituting Secret Skill Two: Lord's Suppression (Activates a city-sized Gravity Barrier, augmented with an energy-supplying array, bolstering barrier strength and expanding its coverage radius with three specialized effects)]

[Note: A Stone Spirit originating from the "Gate of Boundary," now irrevocably bound to you, all thanks to your bestowing upon it the name Dali—nay, Jing Hong.]

"Well, the system prompt does seem to possess a sense of humor," Leo Ray remarked, a faint smile playing on his lips at the note's content, though his eyes also held a spark of excitement.

With this acquisition, he had secured another half-step Seventh Stage [Divine Stone] under his command, drawing him closer to unraveling the mysteries of the Era of Blankness!

"Initially, this mission was focused on exploring the depths of these Ancient Elf Ruins, but unexpectedly encountering Jing Hong has proven to be a most delightful surprise," Leo Ray mused.

A flicker of solemnity overlaid his excitement, causing a slight prickling sensation along his scalp.

The recent, harrowing doomsday spectacle remained vividly imprinted in his memory, particularly the colossal entity that had blotted out the very sky—a truly nightmarish existence.

Despite being unable to ascertain its exact dimensions, when contrasted with its world-shattering aura, even the Dragon Clan, the current overlords of the skies, appeared as insignificant as mere ants.

The sheer might of that colossal entity undeniably surpassed mortal comprehension. Based on his own two prior encounters, one could infer this even from the Guardians of Devouring nestled within a fragment of bone, whose power levels were comparable to entities of "Corrosion."

"Even so, that final, resplendent sword light that cleaved the sky in two—what astonishing power was that? It must have been a deity-level strike, surely?"

Leo Ray drew a deep breath, recalling the ultimate vision he had witnessed—a scene truly befitting the clash of deities.

Throughout his journey thus far, even though his strength and influence had grown immeasurably, reaching such a divine pinnacle seemed an utterly unattainable, virtually impossible feat.

After all, such matters pertain to the divine, and since the Blank Era, not a single new deity has appeared among the Ten Thousand Clans. This is common knowledge.

"Lord, is everything satisfactory?"

As Leo Ray absorbed these thoughts, the powerhouses and Stone Spirits, amidst their elation, all turned their concerned gazes towards him.

"I simply witnessed some fresh visions during the contract signing."

Leo Ray made no attempt to conceal this, elaborating on the scene he had glimpsed to everyone present.

Upon absorbing Leo Ray's narrative, the assembled powerhouses fell into a momentary silence.

The Lord's inference is undoubtedly correct; it must indeed be a depiction from the Blank Era. It is difficult to fathom that the Ten Thousand Clans were confronted by such a colossal and terrifying entity during that time.

Especially those who had accompanied Leo Ray and had encountered the sand-robed elder and the formidable figures beneath the Fishman Castle, their countenances were etched with profound solemnity.

While they had already grasped the dreadful nature of their adversaries, they had not comprehended the true extent of their power. It was no wonder the Ten Thousand Clans back then possessed no means to resist; this threat clearly surpassed the mortal realm.

"Did we truly face such formidable adversaries back then?"

Anna's imposing stature began to quiver slightly once more, as did Fei'er, who had also lived through the Blank Era.

They had largely suppressed most recollections from that period, recalling only chaos and destruction, yet the residual terror and despair remained indelibly imprinted upon their hearts.

"But precisely what was that entity? And why did it unleash its assault upon the Ten Thousand Clans?"

Moli knitted her brows together firmly, her expression clouded with uncertainty.

"This is precisely the enigma we must unravel, and it constitutes one of the objectives driving my ongoing expedition."

Leo Ray slowly inclined his head and responded, "Back then, it was not solely the Ten Thousand Clans that were assailed, but also numerous Lands of Divine Favor—locations purportedly accessible only to the Chosen Sons of God and deities. As for the higher Divine Realm, the unfolding events there lie beyond our present capacity to comprehend."

"However, what can be established with certainty is that both the Ten Thousand Clans and the deities were ostensibly involved. The question remains: was it the resurgence of Evil Gods, with those colossal beings serving as their lackeys? Or perhaps a schism among the deities, drawing the Ten Thousand Clans into their conflict? Alternatively, did some unlikely alliance form between the Clans and deities, aiming for deicide? These possibilities remain unknown."

After digesting Leo Ray's pronouncements, the powerhouses contemplated his words, while Leo Ray's gaze deepened with contemplation.

The crux of the concern lies not merely in ascertaining the truth of the Blank Era, but in comprehending its connection to the present day, or more accurately, the underlying reason for the advent of the Lords.

That guiding voice must be orchestrating some grand design; it alone could set in motion such an extensive plan, from the creation of the [Divine Stone] and the "Gate of Truth" to the Pioneer Transmigrators of King West, and the arrival of the Otherworldly Lord—all meticulously orchestrated.

Now, we face the looming Great Catastrophe and the imminent continental war, punctuated by the contests within the Lord Arena.

"On a related note, what precisely constitutes this 'Corrosion'?"

Moli rubbed her head, her face radiating perplexity.

"Everything remains shrouded in uncertainty, thus our primary focus must be on the present. Only by augmenting our own capabilities can we gain greater leverage to unearth the truth."

Leo Ray nodded towards the powerhouses and declared, "Let us not forget, we have another significant undertaking awaiting us."
