Chapter 1438 The Chessboard Can Reverse the Gate of Boundless Power

Chapter 1438 The Chessboard Can Reverse the Gate of Boundless Power

"They're not fighting again, how frustrating." The king muttered irritably. For a king who only enjoyed killing people, stopping the battle before it even started was incredibly boring.

However, he also had to admit that there were many things that couldn't be solved by killing people. For example, the information about the Time-Space Ancient Dragon was extracted by Anthony in just a few words, which was more effective than killing people.

After muttering a few words, he dragged Anthony back with him.

Not long after, a puppet snake slithered from the direction of the divine star and swam towards this side.

Under normal circumstances, facing the real form of the Kumanthong is not as oppressive as facing the Puppet Snake. The Kumanthong is too big; it's like an astronomical phenomenon, with no end in sight, so you don't feel any pressure.

On the contrary, the Puppet Serpent is like a mountain range standing in front of you, ready to crush you at any moment, creating a strong sense of oppression.

Anthony and Negris exchanged a glance, because the puppet snake was exactly the same as Ang's—what a coincidence!

Anthony asked calmly, "Are these all your clones? It seems like there are many of them."

“There are indeed many; they are all my clones,” the giant manta serpent replied.

Anthony asked, puzzled, "What's the mechanism behind this? We undead creatures can usually only activate one clone. Once that clone is activated, the others can't move. But yours doesn't seem to work like that."

Although it didn't understand why Anthony suddenly asked these questions, the Guman snake didn't care. It wasn't a secret; it was just a characteristic of puppet snakes. It was like telling someone that humans can have children. Does the ability of humans to have children affect a rooster's ability to lay eggs? No, it doesn't.

“They are all independent; they can move without me. Only when I need to possess them will they become my clones,” the Guman snake replied.

"Ah, won't this have an impact? Won't it affect their consciousness? How can two consciousnesses be balanced in the same body?" Anthony asked curiously.

The Guman snake's consciousness scanned Anthony several times, then asked with some confusion, "Why would you ask such a basic question? Your master is also the Lord of Stars, and he can do the same thing."

“It’s different. My lord is an undead being. From the beginning, he could connect with his soul and send his will upon any of his subjects. These are his subjects. But these puppet snakes don’t seem to have any affiliation with you, so I don’t quite understand. This has nothing to do with my lord; it’s just my curiosity as a human being,” Anthony said.

After thinking for a moment, the Guman Snake said, "The Puppet Snake is an individual that grew from my branch grafted onto the Myriad Realms Divine Tree. Although there is no soul connection, I can control it; it is my puppet."

Anthony suddenly realized: "So that's what it means. That's why they're called puppet snakes. Does that mean that as long as they're far enough away from you that you can't control them, they become free entities? Or that if you die, they become free entities?"

The giant snake couldn't help but look him over again, and reluctantly said, "Yes, but it won't be so easy for me to die."

Anthony quickly said, "No, no, how could I possibly want you to die? We are friends, friends. Your Excellency Guman Snake, please look, this is the Gate of Boundless."

As Anthony spoke, he took out the barrier of the Gate of Boundless and showed it to the Guman snake. The Guman snake's skin wrinkled as it looked at it: "This is the Gate of Boundless? It's so small?"

Anthony said with a wry smile, "There should be a way to make it bigger, but I'm not strong enough to figure out how to use it."

“It still needs to be explored. Why don’t you just ask it? This is the Gate of No Boundaries; it should be conscious,” the ancient manta serpent said.

Anthony was immediately taken aback: "How do you know it's conscious? Don't you not believe in this? Have you seen it before?"

“Of course, it was the Ancient Dragon of Time and Space who told me, but I don’t believe it. I don’t think this is an endless cage. But if this really is the Gate to Boundless Realm, then what it said back then is very likely true,” said the Ancient Mantis.

Anthony seized the opportunity to ask, "What did it tell you?"

The giant snake glanced at him and said, "Let me see if this is really the Gate to Boundless Realm."

Anthony quickly opened the barrier, showed it a glance, and then immediately closed it again: "Okay, I saw it. What did the Time-Space Ancient Dragon say to you?"

"It said it saw the void millions of years in the future, a void of chaos, with only one door leading to a new order. That door is called the Gate of Boundless. It is going to find that door. If I see its bloodline, I hope I can take care of them and tell them that the chessboard can reverse the Gate of Boundless."

At this point, the Guman Snake chuckled, "It thought I was the Tree of All Realms, which is why it asked me for these favors. Unfortunately, I am not. However, I still took care of its bloodline, and I killed all the dragon descendants."

The smug snake didn't notice that everyone on Ang's side had changed their posture. Although they weren't moving, their bodies involuntarily straightened up a little.

Within Ang's soul network, everyone's thoughts were rapidly communicating: "Impossible, it encountered a dragon god from four million years ago, while Ang encountered a dragon god from eight million years ago. Back then, the dragon god already knew it was a parasitic serpent. Did Ang tell the dragon god that it was a serpent?"

Ang nodded.

"So the Dragon God must have told it on purpose. Why? Didn't it foresee that this would kill all the dragonborn?" Negris asked.

Ursman suddenly said, "I foresaw it. I've never understood why those dragon people are confined to the vicinity of the ancestral cemetery. It's an easy problem for the dragon god to solve. Do you dragons lose your scales because you can't get sunlight? Why would dragon people? This way, they can be confined to the vicinity of the ancestral cemetery and prevented from being killed by the ancient serpents."

Negris suddenly realized something. In fact, it also felt a little strange. The defect of losing scales when it can't get sunlight is easy for dragon gods to solve. Even without changing their bloodline, they can just teach them skills like spatial windows. Is it really that difficult to open a small window to let the sun shine on them?

The fact that the Dragon God did not do this clearly indicates that he was deliberately keeping the Dragonborn confined to the vicinity of their ancestors' tombs.

"So the Dragon God deliberately told these words to the Guman Snake. Why? So that it would relay them to us?" Negris asked.

A sense of absurdity welled up in everyone's hearts. The Dragon God from eight million years ago had a contact with the present Ang in the realm of time and space. So, four million years later, he told the Guman Snake some information, just to use it to tell the present Ang that it might have entered the Gate of Boundless. The Time and Space Chessboard can reverse the Gate of Boundless.

But if it's really as everyone guessed, then the problem becomes complicated. Why doesn't it tell Ang this information through bloodline resonance?
