The giant dragon corpse demon soaking in the huge pit has also absorbed about half of the pool water. It will take so more ti before it takes shape.
Under the ancient banyan tree.
Martha, the Immortal Banyan Dragon, Mana, Black Phoenix—four idle ladies of the longevity species—were playing Mahjong, a pasti Levi had taught them.
The Ash Dragon, like a puppy, lay asleep at Mana’s feet, carefree.
Seeing it, Levi thought of the Unyielding Silver Seat, Owens. It had been a long ti since he last contacted him, and Levi wondered how he was doing. He imdiately tossed a Fate Coin to summon him.
Bang!
A loud explosion reverberated through the sky.
A silver light descended from the sky, landing in an incredibly heroic pose. Owens laughed heartily:
"My friend, I’m now at the seventh rank of the Gray Swordsman... Oh, damn it, you’ve already reached level 8?!"
For the past few hundred years, Owens had been cultivating tirelessly. He had finally reached the seventh rank of the Gray Swordsman just recently.
Even during the peak tis before the Ashen World had been assimilated by the Nightmare World, he would be considered an absolute strongman.
After all, a Gray Swordsman of the ninth rank is a legendary existence, elusive as a Divine Dragon.
Owens knew Levi cultivated quickly, yet he didn’t expect that this human, once equally matched with him, had already reached level 8, becoming the strongest existence below the demigods.
Levi asked, "Long ti no see, how are things on your end?"
Owens sighed and suddenly spoke with sadness, "Still the sa, more and more fallen objects. I can feel the entire world seems to be heading towards decay... by that day, I might also turn to ash and return to the darkness."
Levi asked, "Is there any way to save it?"
"I don’t know either. All the Ashen Lords have already perished, the only survivor might be that dragon, maybe it knows sothing." Owens glanced at the sleeping Little Ash Dragon.
"Alright, seeing you advance to level 8 makes happy;
I need to return." Owens turned and left.
Staring at Owens’ back, Levi contemplated. Judging from the current state of the Ash Dragon, it likely hasn’t recovered its past life’s mory. If it had, it couldn’t conceal it despite the years of companionship.
What exactly is Owens?
Levi had always been puzzled. With the rise in Levi’s realm and Owens’ recent words, Levi sensed a revelation.
In his eyes, ashes fell once more, reentering the long-lost Ashen World.
...
In a world of only gray and black, ashes fell from the sky;
the sound of waves hitting the shore echoed from afar.
When Levi entered the Ashen World from the Lion King City on the Yellow Earth Continent, he found himself in an ash version of the Lion King City.
Now, when he entered from the Ancient Banyan Fairyland, before his eyes was also the Ancient Banyan Fairyland.
Only this fairyland was covered with ash, devoid of life.
It’s a peculiar reflection, as if... the Ashen World is the mirror image of all worlds.
Generally speaking.
Such worlds capable of connecting to the Multidinsional Plane are either the primary spiritual plane, like the astral world or the nightmare world. They are ford by the power of faith or the power of fear.
Another type is the Underworld, as the Underworld Source River controls life and death reincarnation, its tributaries also connect to myriad worlds.
The Ashen World is just an ordinary large-scale world. Judging by its history, even level-10 strongn are few, yet it can mirror Nora and even other worlds.
Based on Levi’s research over the years, only one world possesses such an ability, and that is: the Shadow World.
There’s a theory that the Shadow World was once a super world because it’s the mirror of the Multidinsional Plane, but it was downgraded due to so incident.
Levi thought it possible, perhaps long ago, the Ashen World was separated from the Shadow World.
To verify his thoughts, Levi wandered around the Ancient Banyan Fairyland.
The area was not large, and he quickly found his target. On the eastern coast of the fairyland, he discovered a village.
A swordsman clad in rusted silver armor, holding a greatsword, sat desolately beneath the large windmill at the village entrance, eyes deep and penetrating.
His visage was identical to Owens’, only his strength was rely at the first rank of the Gray Swordsman.
After a mont’s thought, Levi asked:
"Excuse , where is this place?"
The swordsman raised his head and said:
"This is Windmill Village, foreigner;
are you looking to hire the strongest Gray Swordsman of Windmill Village?"
A familiar conversation as if yesterday, Levi maintained a calm deanor.
"If I’m not mistaken, you should be the Unyielding Silver Seat, Owens, correct?"
The swordsman showed a surprised expression.
"How do you know?"
Having confird his thoughts, Levi transford into ashes and vanished, leaving Windmill Village.
Ancient Banyan Fairyland.
Levi reappeared.
"The Ashen World entered from the Ancient Banyan Fairyland is not the sa as the one entered from Nora... but both have a Windmill Village, both have an Owens."
"Because the Ancient Banyan Fairyland and an independent world from Nora—each world has an independent reflection. Isn’t this what’s recorded as the Shadow World in the books?"
"The current Shadow World is just a part of the true Shadow World. Nurous fragnt-like worlds scatter across the Multidinsional Plane like sea relics. Assembling these pieces would form a super world comparable to the astral or nightmare world."
"Owens appearing in all Ashen Worlds might be because he is related to the Ashen World itself, perhaps as an incarnation of the world’s will or a reincarnation of a strongman from the Ashen World."
