Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Mountain-top Candle, Night-time Sun

Noah could not comprehend, nor could he accept, that the divine material formed from two fallen Suns, the Sunburn Crystal, had simply vanished, and the Meteorite Gold of the Sun was left with only half its original value, perhaps even more.

Yet, no matter how one looks at it, Noah lost more than half of his fortune in this slumber, and such a loss made the Dragon’s heart ache.

"Out with the old, in with the new; with greater strength, I can gather more Sunburn Crystals in the future; it’s not a loss, it’s a gain!"

Noah could only comfort his wounded soul in this way.

How immortal the Sun is, and how could it fall easily; most of the Material Realms have only one Sun, but from the perspective of endless time and countless planes, it’s no mere fantasy to say Suns fall at every moment, yet an equal or even greater number of Suns are born, is a reality.

"Let me see, besides growing a pair of Dragon Wings, what other changes have I undergone?"

Given a chance to choose again, knowing the horrendous cost of growing these Dragon Wings, Noah would surely restrain his thoughts, never to indulge in such fantasies.

As for now, with the Dragon Wings already grown and no remedy for regret, time would not turn back either, only enjoyment remained, though Noah felt somewhat unwilling.

He refused to believe that after exhausting the Sunburn Crystal and draining the Meteorite Gold of the Sun, all he got was a pair of wings, with no other changes; he clearly remembered that before the Dragon Wings grew, other parts of his body also showed mutations.

Releasing his majestic spiritual power, Noah could observe his current appearance from a third-person perspective.

The two golden Dragon Horns extending backwards slightly branched, resembling antlers, appeared more mature compared to the juvenile stage, possessing an indescribable exquisite aesthetic.

However, what truly captured the Dragon’s attention was not this pair of original Dragon Horns, but another pair of faint golden Dragon Horns growing on the outside base of this pair, resembling tender shoots at first glance, yet upon careful examination, exuding a sense of ancient majesty.

"Bloodline Ancestor?"

Noah felt joy, yet a sense of inevitability arose within; given that he had consumed so many Blood Origin Fruits, some effect was to manifest on his body, although he had only consumed two large fruits so far, the small fruits were countless.

Apart from the Dragon Horns, Noah’s Dragon form became more mature and proportional, with long, powerful limbs and a sinuous body that appeared extremely coordinated.

As for the newly born Dragon Wings resting on either side of his spine, rather than appearing obtrusive, they seemed remarkably harmonious and perfect, as if naturally formed and dazzlingly magnificent.

This was not all; the Dragon Horns and Dragon Wings were merely the most conspicuous features, but Noah would not overlook any changes on his body, considering the exorbitant price he paid for this transformation, he needed to find satisfaction within himself.

Even with his gleaming golden Dragon Scales akin to an adult Dragon species, Noah admired them for quite some time, with flexibility and hardness improved significantly compared to before, furthermore, with flame runes occasionally flowing over them, yet the change in scales was the least noteworthy.

Thus, between his brows, Noah discovered a vertical Divine Mark formed by dark-hued pure gold Sun Pattern, resembling at first glance, a closed vertical Dragon Eye.

Word Spirit: Candle Sun

Upon seeing this Divine Mark, Noah immediately knew its purpose, it was for releasing the newly obtained Word Spirit.

"Hmm!"

Without an instant of hesitation, the Golden Dragon opened the long-sealed Dragon Nest, with a tail flowing without a trace of hunger, the enormous Noah swam out of the Dragon Nest.

The stars filled the sky, the moon hung high, the night was deep, and the mountains were silent, with enhanced perception but an unknown degree of improvement, Noah instantly noticed the faint snores of numerous Little Flower Spirits in the garden.

None of the three Great Fairies were present, yet Noah could perceive their presence, right in the Elisium City below the mountain, at such a time, they were still not at leisure, his foster-mother Selena was much harsher than he was, Noah felt ashamed, by comparison, he was indeed merciful.

"It has expanded this much?!"

The darkness could not obscure Noah’s vision; the scenery above and below the mountain was clear to the Golden Dragon as he marveled at the changes in the front garden.

He remembered that before his slumber, the garden had expanded significantly under the Little Fairies’ management, reaching over ten acres.

But now, Noah could see that the garden’s boundary had expanded to the mountainside, the mountain slopes were covered with enchanted exotic flowers and grasses shimmering with faint magic radiance, bowing with the evening breeze, a spectacular sight.

"How many of their kind did this group recruit?"

Even with just a rough perception, Noah could sense that the number of Little Flower Spirits sleeping and resting in the garden had exceeded a hundred, nearly a thousand, and this was only the resting ones, not counting the Fairies currently working at the Duke Mansion.

"Truly..."

Noah couldn’t help but shake his head, employing a large number of fairy creatures to maintain the operation of a duchy-level administrative system was not entirely unparalleled, but in the Golden Dragon’s memory, it was extremely rare, only in true Fairy Lands would such phenomena occur.

Noah did not disturb these Little Fairies; their exhaustion was evident, and they needed a good rest. The Golden Dragon raised his head, gazing at the night sky dotted with countless stars.

He wanted to try the Word Spirit: Candle Sun, without needing to search for a specific target, the sky before him was quite fitting.

"What is that?"

In the Elisium City, the Great Fairy Sifreya sensed something while bending over her work, with azure butterfly wings fluttering, this fairy, nearly an arm’s height, flew out, looking up at the Sect Master’s slumbering site.

Hence, this Great Fairy witnessed a ray of light flickering in the night sky, though weak, yet like a sharp sword, it pierced through the darkness of the night.

Thereafter, this ray of light rippled outward like a sun rising at dawn, scattering the first morning light, dispelling the thick darkness, illuminating every inch of the land.

Under this light, darkness receded like a tide, the outlines of the undulating mountains became clear, the shapes of stones, the patterns on leaves, the hues of flowers, everything was outlined, gaining more vibrant forms and colors.

The Sun has risen!

The Great Fairy Sifreya, with an exquisite little face full of shock, looked in a stupor at the pure gold Sun rising on the mountain, then her expression turned somewhat excited, and even ecstatic.

Because from this Sun, she sensed a familiar yet somewhat strange aura.

"Your Highness Noah!"

All the Fairies working were startled, not only them, but many others awakened from their slumber under the sudden celestial transformation from deep night to broad daylight, heading to the windows or walking onto the streets, gazing confusedly at the great Sun suspended over the mountain.
