That Felic's strength actually got such a high evaluation from Elder Zumar! That made Cantory feel jealous and resentful, but he also knew that Elder Zumar's judgment would not be wrong. Hence, he had no choice but to say gloomily, "How old is that Felic? How can he have such strength? Even Geresco wasn't that freakish when he was at this age!"
Elder Zumar felt the same way about Cantory's words. After all, Cantory only knew about Geresco from legends, but Elder Zumar could be said to have lived through that era, and had seen Geresco in person. Hence, Elder Zumar was even clearer that if the young president of the Tower of Dusk was not restricted, his future achievements might really not be inferior to Geresco's.
However, Elder Zumar was not very worried about that, because there was a huge fortune hidden under Cage Island that the ancestors of the Gilded Kingdom had left behind for their descendants. As long as they made good use of that huge fortune, the Gilded Kingdom would definitely be able to create a peerless powerhouse that was not inferior to Geresco in the future.
Of course, Elder Zumar could also tell what Cantory was thinking, and he felt that the top genius of the Gilded Kingdom had clearly been agitated. In fact, Cantory was not the only one. Even Elder Zumar himself was a little jealous when he saw a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse in his twenties appearing in front of him.
In order not to let his jealousy affect Cantory, Elder Zumar smiled amiably, and calmly said, "Cantory, you don't have to lose confidence in yourself. Although you can't use the power of the dragon corpse on Cage Island to let you step into the Sanctuary-realm in one go this time, I believe that with your talent and accumulation, you will be able to step into the Sanctuary-realm on your own in less than a year. When the opportunity that Saint Colins prophesied appears, you will be able to reach the peak of the Sanctuary-realm with the huge fortune that he left here. By then, that kid from the Tower of Dusk will be nothing! "
What Elder Zumar was talking about was a legend that had been circulating in the Gilded Kingdom. It was said that Saint Collins had prophesied that the sky would be torn open, and the disaster that would destroy Anril would descend. The savior of the Gilded Kingdom would be born at this time, and lead the people of the Gilded Kingdom through the disaster. He would also make the people of the Gilded Kingdom the master of the entire Anril.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this legend was just a somewhat cliché legend. There was really nothing new about the birth of a savior when disaster befell. However, the senior executives of the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati knew that it was not a simple legend, but a will left behind by Saint Collins. The huge crack in the sky mentioned in Saint Colins' last words referred to the appearance of the Great Rift of Spacetime, and the disaster was the invasion of the prehistoric magical beasts into Anril. The so-called birth of a savior referred to the fact that the chosen one would obtain the massive power of the dragon corpse on Cage Island, which was enough to allow him to bring the Gilded Kingdom out of the disaster and become the master of the entire world.
Cantory, on the other hand, was the so-called chosen one who was the most suitable person to inherit the massive power of the dragon corpse according to Saint Colins' last words. That was precisely the reason that Cantory was valued so highly by Elder Zumar and the other insiders. He had been groomed by the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati since a young age, and even became the disciple of the Illuminati's lord. Besides, Cantory did not disappoint them. Although his talent and achievements were now inferior to Lin Li's, he was still one of the best in the entire Anril.
The Gilded Kingdom's previous explanation to Lin Li and the others for this operation was to strengthen the seal under Cage Island. However, strengthening the seal was actually only one of the purposes. There was another important purpose, and that was to use the power of the dragon corpse under Cage Island to allow Cantory to step into the Sanctuary-realm in one go.
If it was simply to strengthen the seal, the Gilded Kingdom had already done it many times, and there wouldn't be such a problem at all. However, this time, they found an Alchemy Array recorded by Saint Colins in the ancient materials. It was the special Alchemy Array that Lin Li had found in the seal previously. Hence, while strengthening the seal, the people of the Gilded Kingdom wanted to use this Alchemy Array to gather the power that escaped from the dragon corpse, and then inject it into Cantory's body to help him step into the Sanctuary-realm.
Although Cantory would naturally be able to become a Sanctuary powerhouse at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm through inheriting the power of the dragon corpse, if he could step into the Sanctuary-realm earlier, he would have more time to understand the use of the power of the Sanctuary-realm. However, if he could step into the Sanctuary-realm earlier and have more time to understand the use of the power of the Sanctuary-realm, he would be able to better exert the massive power that he had suddenly obtained in the future.
However, in the end, the people of the Gilded Kingdom suffered a tragedy. The Alchemy Array seemed simple, but it was not something that ordinary people could master. Although the Gilded Kingdom had studied it for hundreds of years, there were still problems when using it. Two Alchemy Arrays that both extracted the power of the dragon corpse appeared, but in the end, neither of them could extract the power of the dragon corpse. Instead, it affected the operation of the seal, and caused the dragon corpse to break the seal and escape.
Now, although the dragon corpse had been re-sealed, Elder Zumar did not have the courage to try again. If he were to release the dragon corpse again, it would be a huge joke. Putting aside whether the dragon corpse could be sealed again, would the forces of the Breezy Plains come to help again?
Fortunately, with Cantory's talent, it was actually only a matter of time before he stepped into the Sanctuary-realm. Just like Elder Zumar said, even if Cantory did not use the power of the dragon corpse to step into the Sanctuary-realm this time, it would only take about a year at most for him to step into the Sanctuary-realm with his own talent and accumulation.
Hearing Elder Zumar's words, Cantory nodded heavily with a faint glow of excitement in his eyes. Perhaps, Elder Zumar and the others were also worried that Cantory would slack off in improving his strength after finding out about this matter. Hence, Cantory was initially not very clear about the whole matter, and only had some vague guesses. Now, his guesses had finally been confirmed. Thinking that he would possess the massive power of the dragon corpse and become the savior of the Gilded Kingdom, Cantory would definitely not be able to calm down.
Cantory had already seen how powerful the dragon corpse was through the previous battle. The two high-level Sanctuary powerhouses, together with a few pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses, were actually suppressed by the dragon corpse to the point that they almost had no power to resist. They could only dodge and flee in a sorry state. The Sky Castle had made such a shocking scene, but it seemed that it had used all its power, yet it had only severely injured the dragon corpse. Of course, that was partly due to the strong defense of the dragon corpse, but it also reflected the power of the dragon corpse, which was probably close to the power of the gods.
If he had that kind of power, the Tower of Dusk would be nothing! Although Lin Li had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm at a young age, and even became a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse who was not inferior to Elder Zumar, he couldn't possibly reach the peak of the Sanctuary-realm all of a sudden no matter how talented he was! Cantory couldn't help but imagine a scene where he suddenly possessed shocking power that was comparable to that of the gods, and descended to the Tower of Dusk like a god before destroying the Tower of Dusk with a wave of his hand.
It was not an unrealistic fantasy. Cantory believed that as long as he obtained the power of the dragon corpse, he would definitely be able to become the best person in Anril like the Immortal King and Geresco. In fact, it was not impossible for him to surpass the great achievements of the Immortal King and Geresco.
"Elder, may I know when Saint Collins' prophecy will come true?" Cantory couldn't wait to ask Elder Zumar, and his tone was no longer as disappointed as before. What was the big deal about being surpassed by Lin Li now? He was going to become the best person in Anril, and sooner or later, he would have the chance to trample the Tower of Dusk.
Seeing that Cantory had gotten rid of his negative emotions, Elder Zumar smiled in relief as if he was looking at his own child. He said, "Don't worry, it won't be too long. According to the changes in Anril now, the time that Saint Colins prophesied would probably be within these three years. However, don't slack off because of this. The better your foundation is, the higher your achievements will be after you obtain that power in the future. "
"Don't worry, Elder, for the sake of the future of the Gilded Kingdom, I will work hard to improve myself, and strive to step into the Sanctuary-realm with my own strength as soon as possible." Cantory wisely suppressed his excitement, and made a solemn promise to Elder Zumar with a determined expression on his face.
The fleet of the Gilded Kingdom slowly left Cage Island, which had already regained its peace, and the entire island once again became silent. Apart from those who had experienced that battle, probably no one would believe that the corpse of an ancient wyrm was really sealed under such a barren land.
Under Lin Li's control, the Sky Castle flew back to the sky above the Tower of Dusk. However, Lin Li stood in the central square of the Sky Castle, and looked at the surrounding buildings for a long time without moving. The battle with the dragon corpse this time should actually be considered the first time that the Sky Castle had truly shown its power since it was in Lin Li's hands. The destruction of the group of people who had attacked the Tower of Dusk was just a small demonstration.
Although in the eyes of others, the Sky Castle had shown unparalleled offensive power by severely injuring the dragon corpse, which was, after all, a powerful existence at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. However, Lin Li was not satisfied with the power that the Sky Castle had shown previously.
The Sky Castle was the most powerful weapon of war when the High Elves ruled Anril back then. With the powerful Sky Castle, the High Elves expelled the ancient wyrms and Titans, drove the prehistoric magical beasts into the spacetime rift, and suppressed the resistance of the various races.
The Sky Castle that Lin Li had obtained was the most powerful of the seven Sky Castles, and was once controlled by the Immortal King. Hence, this time, the power displayed by the Sky Castle was far from what Lin Li had expected.
Lin Li was actually well aware of the reason for that. One reason was that the Sky Castle was, after all, built by the Immortal King according to the characteristics of the High Elves. Hence, it was not very suitable for humans to control, and its power could only be fully exerted under the control of the High Elves. Another reason was that at the end of the Dark Age, before the Sky Castle entered the spacetime rift, the High Elves and Highlord Osric must have tampered with it, causing it to lose a lot of magical weapons.
Lin Li believed that if the Sky Castle could exert its full power in his hands, he would at least be able to make the dragon corpse lose its ability to fight even if he couldn't kill it completely. In that case, he wouldn't have to take such a huge risk on Cage Island and dive to the bottom of the sea to rush to repair the seal.
Hence, after manipulating the Sky Castle back to the Tower of Dusk, the first thing that Lin Li wanted to do was to modify the Sky Castle. Even if it couldn't be restored to the power of the High Elves, it should at least be close to it. After all, the Sky Castle was one of the most powerful weapons that he could rely on when he completed Geresco's mission in the future. Otherwise, it would be too wasteful to use the most powerful weapon in the hands of the High Elves as a building in the sky.
If he had enough time, Lin Li believed that he could completely redesign and modify the Sky Castle into a Sky Castle that was suitable for humans to control. However, Lin Li was rather short of time now, and he probably couldn't afford to waste a few years, let alone tens or hundreds of years to modify the Sky Castle.
However, it wasn't that Lin Li didn't have any other ways. For example, the Supreme Council definitely had the design drawings of the Sky Garden. Although he definitely couldn't copy them mechanically, he could definitely save a lot of time by borrowing some concepts and designs from them.
At the thought of this, Lin Li didn't want to delay any longer. He silently chanted an incantation, and swiped his finger to the side, after which a spatial rift appeared out of thin air. Next, Lin Li couldn't be bothered to clean up the traces of the fierce battle on his body, and simply strode into the spatial rift.
When the surrounding scenery became clear again, Lin Li was already in the Sky Garden of the Supreme Council. With the idea of using the experience of modifying the Sky Garden for reference, Lin Li was able to see more mysteries when he looked at the Sky Garden again this time. Although the power of the Sky Garden was not as powerful as that of the Sky Castle in Lin Li's hands, the modifications that were more suitable for humans to control made the Sky Garden likely to have the upper hand in a battle.
