This is a question that sends shivers down one's spine. Could there be a traitor in the Giant Dragon's bloodline, which is why the Dragon God doesn't dare to convey information through bloodline inheritance?
"I doubt it. Even if there is a traitor in the Dragon Clan, what can they do? Can they open the Space-Time Domain? Can they get the Gate of No Boundary?" Ursman said.
Everyone thought about it and realized it was true. If it wasn't for Ange himself and awakening the Fourth Stage Dragon God Transformation, it would have been impossible to open the Space-Time Domain, let alone control the Space-Time Compass and claim it as his own.
As for the Gate of No Boundary, it's even harder; you have to defeat the Fog Whale.
Don't be fooled by how the Fog Whale seems to suffer losses in Ange's hands; this guy is actually a massive Origin of Chaos, like the Monarch who once absorbed all the Chaos Mist from the Chaos Plane.
Such a creature, if you don't have a means to restrain it, can treat your attacks as mere scratches.
The reason the Deceit Tree misled Ange and the Monarch to fight the Fog Whale was that it was restrained by the Fog Whale. If it were the Ancient Man Snake, a swipe with a vine would only fan a breeze at the Fog Whale, not causing it any harm in its misty form.
The relationships of counteraction between the Laws of the Void are even more extreme than magic elements.
Ordinary Dragonkin can't even come close to touching the Space-Time Domain and the Gate of No Boundary. Knowing this information won't affect Ange getting them, especially since none of the Dragonkin have awakened the Fourth Stage Transformation. Isn't it just a matter of setting up a seal? Why would they let the Ancient Man Snake relay this information?
"Could it be that the interference is too great?" Xisluo said hesitantly.
"What do you mean?" Everyone instinctively looked at him.
"Although I'm not sure about the taboos of contacting across time, the Dragon God from eight million years ago already knew about the Great One's existence. It would definitely have plans for such changes. If too many people know about these plans, they would create many changes that otherwise wouldn't happen, affecting the Great One eight million years later. If it were imprinted in the bloodline, too many people being influenced could result in a lot of interference," Xisluo said.
Negris nodded in agreement: "Makes sense. If Ange's Space-Time Domain affects too many things and reverses time for too long, the more power he consumes. On the other hand, the Ancient Man Snake causes the least interference. First, it doesn't believe, and second, it hardly changed over these four million years."
In the Space-Time Domain, things that don't change won't consume Ange's power, but the Little Dragon Man transforming into an egg consumed a lot of Ange's power.
According to the mechanism of the Space-Time Domain, letting the Ancient Man Snake pass on information is safer. It hasn't changed much over millions of years, and since it only believes itself, the interference should be minimal.
Chattering away in the Soul Network, the Ancient Man Snake grew impatient as these people exchanged glances without making a sound. It was obvious they were communicating behind its back. Whispering was understandable, but going on and on was excessive.
"Hey, I've told you the Time-Space Ancient Dragon's words. Let me go inside the boundary and take a look," the Ancient Man Snake said.
Anthony asked, "Is this all the Time-Space Ancient Dragon said to you? There's no valuable information in these words."
"Yes, that's all it said. Whether it's valuable or not, I don't know. Maybe you'll figure it out when you find some chessboard," the Ancient Man Snake replied.
"What chessboard?" Anthony asked, pretending not to have heard of it.
"How would I know about any chessboard? Isn't there someone here who likes to take the form of a Juvenile Dragon? You can ask if it knows," said the Ancient Man Snake.
Due to the Star Descendant's characteristics, they come in all shapes. Negris's Juvenile Dragon form wasn't strange at all. The Ancient Man Snake merely saw it as a Star Descendant in the form of a Juvenile Dragon, not a Dragonkin.
"Ah, I don't know," Negris responded immediately with a face full of confusion.
Anthony could only helplessly say: "Alright, alright, let's say you answered everything. Now, the Gate of No Boundary can't expand, you'll need to change into a smaller avatar to enter."
Anthony lowered the boundary and opened the World Curtain, revealing the Gate of No Boundary from the open part of the curtain.
A sprout emerged from the Ancient Man Snake's body, quickly growing into a Tree Person. The Tree Person stepped on the void, twisting and turning, walking towards them.
Reaching the boundary, it intended to slip inside, but as it was about to enter, it stiffened all over, stopped, then turned and started walking back, saying as it went: "Forget it, I won't go inside. The Gate of No Boundary isn't worth looking at."
Anthony paused, thoughtfully watching the Tree Person's back.
Negris also paused, instinctively asking: "Why didn't you go in?"
Without turning its head, the Ancient Man Snake replied: "I won't go in. I know you have a prohibition that can imprison consciousness, sealing it in a closed space. This boundary should be considered a closed space, right?"
The Tree Herder hadn't returned to the Puppet Snake, but the Puppet Snake had already started moving, turning towards the God Star and swimming away.
"How did it know Ange can imprison consciousness? Won't you take action? It's alone; should we kill it?" the Monarch asked.
The others were taken aback, and Negris quickly said: "No, no, no, Old Immortal, can you remember this Puppet Snake?"
"I can, but what's the purpose of remembering it?" the Monarch asked, puzzled.
Negris whispered: "That's Ange's worm disguised."
"...You're not joking?" The Monarch was speechless. Even the subordinates of a tree could plant spies?
While they were conversing, Anthony used Star Shifting to catch up to the Ancient Man Snake: "Lord Ancient Man Snake, though due to the closed space issue, you can't approach the Gate of No Boundary, this doesn't prevent us from building mutual trust. There are other ways we can cooperate. Lord Ancient Man Snake, do you really want the God Star to explode?"
The Ancient Man Snake stopped.
Anthony continued quickly: "Because of the existence of the Gate of No Boundary, this place might be a closed cage, and the God Star might be the only God Star here. If it's destroyed, then you'll have no choice but to escape this cage; otherwise, you'll wither and die."
The Ancient Man Snake shuddered and its massive body slowly turned back, clearly having listened.
Before seeing the Gate of No Boundary, the destruction of the God Star didn't seem to be a dead end.
Even without the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms to cling to, it could find a world with a sun, settle in a plane where it could take root, bask in sunlight, and that would suffice. It didn't necessarily need the God Star.
Solar systems capable of nurturing a God Star are rare, but ordinary worlds with suns are plentiful.
However, if this is indeed a cage, and it can't leave, then destroying the God Star would truly be a dead end.
