With the addition of Origin Power, the Noah clan of the Origin World was legitimized, becoming stronger. In the Wizard Realm, where strength reigns, they transformed from a Noah sub-clan to the current mainline of Noah.
The original mainline of Noah, however, declined following the great injury in Naraku City and the subsequent weakening of the Southern Domain.
For the Black Earl to climb step-by-step to the peak of a Third-level Wizard under such circumstances is truly impressive.
Even among the Noah tribe of the Origin World, he belongs to the middle-upper echelon of strength.
Moreover, Augustine can see that the Black Earl has significant potential and has taken a highly unconventional path. This path was previously attempted by some, but due to multiple avatars and independent consciousnesses, various issues arose.
Yet the Black Earl seems to have managed these risks quite well.
If the Black Earl visits the Noah tribe of the Origin World and bathes in the Origin Power, he might break through to becoming a Legend. At that time, even without relying on the Noah tribe of the Origin World, he will be able to forge his own path.
It can be said that aside from Angel, Augustine has the most confidence in the Black Earl among those present.
For this reason, Augustine does not object to Adanis choosing the Black Earl. Although Adanis is not favored by Augustine, she holds significant importance to Margaret, far above Olao... After all, Margaret was involved in Adanis’s refining process; unlike Olao, who was refined solely by Augustine.
So, despite Augustine not giving a good face to Adanis along the way, in terms of significance, she is no less important than Olao.
Accepting Adanis’s choice also reflects trust and respect towards the Black Earl.
But, that’s about it.
Augustine is not a family-first person. He has always resented Margaret’s support of the Noah tribe of the Origin World, feeling that they take up his and Margaret’s time together.
Although the Noah tribe of the Origin World carries Augustine’s mark, he personally is not very fond of it.
Being a living banner is one thing, but asking him to genuinely protect them, that’s a different matter.
Unless the Noah tribe of the Origin World births a new star like Angel. Otherwise, consider it a no-go.
Even regarding the Noah tribe of the Origin World, Augustine isn’t overly concerned, let alone with the Noah tribe of the Southern Domain. Therefore, he doesn’t intend to pay attention to the Black Earl. However, now that Adanis proposed a talk with him and Black Earl at no energy cost, Augustine is not opposed.
Though he doesn’t particularly care for the Noah tribe, he feels a sense of familiarity with the Noah descendants over outsiders.
"Do you have anything to say?" The Alchemy Golem looked at the Black Earl, and said indifferently.
Black Earl: "Lord Augustine, there was once a Prophet Wizard who said my path lies in the Abyss of Evil Gods. Does the lord agree with this?"
Alchemy Golem: "There is no inevitable path, whether I agree or not is irrelevant. However, what I can assure you is, if you want a better future, seeking another Noah tribe in the Origin World is not a mistake. As for the Abyss of Evil Gods..."
The Alchemy Golem chuckled lightly, but did not further evaluate the Abyss of Evil Gods, instead saying: "If you think your path lies there, you can go and visit that place after going to the Origin World. Don’t always think that you must choose one from two or more options at each choice... That Time Thief’s influence isn’t daring enough to cover the entire Wizard Realm, following in the footsteps of the Time Thief, do you want to be its disciple?"
"As long as a choice doesn’t need to be made immediately, evaluate each option, there will always be one correct answer. Sometimes the incorrect option isn’t absolutely wrong, it may offer a different perspective."
The Alchemy Golem’s words were said to guide the Black Earl, but they were equally insightful to others present.
Black Earl: "The Lord directed me to the Origin World, but the teleportation to the Origin World from the Southern Domain has been cut off, and reaching the Origin World takes too long. Can the lord offer a clear path?"
Alchemy Golem: "You bring up such trivial matters? You wouldn’t be asking next, about the location of the Noah tribe in the Origin World or how to get there, would you?"
Black Earl: ... That thought actually crossed his mind. The Origin World is much larger than the combined dimensions of the Wizard Realm and boasts a staggering number of sub-worlds. These sub-worlds feature giant worlds comparable to the Wizard Realm’s four domains. Clearly, the Origin World is vast.
In such an enormous world, locating a Wizard Family’s base is certainly not easy according to the Black Earl. Unless the Noah tribe is so renowned in the Origin World that you can find it without special search, simply by asking directions. But with abundant talents in the Origin World, the Black Earl doubts if the Noah tribe is truly that famous there.
However, since the Alchemy Golem ribbed him early, the Black Earl felt embarrassed to inquire about the exact site of the Noah tribe.
But how to reach the Origin World remains a question the Black Earl must ask.
Alchemy Golem: "Such a nearby path, you can simply fly over, even with inferior strength, wasting some time isn’t a big deal."
For Augustine, it may not be a big issue, but for the Black Earl, he wouldn’t want to spend hundreds of years adrift in the Void. Moreover, the Void isn’t entirely safe. When tranquil, it’s genuinely tranquil, but any problems that arise are certainly significant.
Thus, this question still needs asking.
Observing the Black Earl still sticking closely to the question without retracting, the Alchemy Golem reluctantly said: "Given your current situation, there are four ways to reach the Origin World."
"First, flying there. Although it’s time-consuming, the Void has many worthwhile spectacles to appreciate, balancing flying and sightseeing wouldn’t waste that much time."
Black Earl: ... The Void’s wonders are better fled from upon sight rather than admired.
"Second, every Phase Face in the Abyss World possesses a number of Dimensional Doors. Although the Southern Domain Wizard World corresponds to the Barren Face, potentially harboring few Dimensional Doors, there must still be at least ten Dimensional Doors. Through Dimensional Doors, one can journey to other phase faces, then onwards to one of the other quadrants of the Wizard Realm for teleportation to the Origin World, which is also a possibility."
Black Earl: "I’m aware of the Dimensional Doors, but those in the Barren Face are managed by Abyssal Demon Gods..."
The Alchemy Golem paused to ponder: "Is that so? As I recall, the first Dimensional Door crafted by the Abyssal Demon Eye, located on the Barren Face, was presented to the Indigenous People."
The Black Earl showed signs of doubt... Is that truly so? The relationship between Indigenous People and humans undoubtedly surpasses that of demons. If the Indigenous People indeed possess a Dimensional Door, it might be worthy of consideration; but does such exist? Given the current Abyss’s leadership by the Frostmoon Alliance, if Lord Monty knew there was a Dimensional Door, perhaps he wouldn’t have dared to challenge the demon god’s descendants.
While both the Black Earl and Alchemy Golem remained puzzled, Angel covertly lowered his head on the side, seemingly unconcerned while playing with Dangross, concealing his slightly anxious mood.
Augustine’s reference to the first Dimensional Door crafted by the Abyssal Demon Eye and offered to the then Indigenous People’s leader—Kansamovich remains unnoticed. This Dimensional Door is called: Skeletal. Currently, it is controlled by Wodell on the Continent of Yuantan...
Angel can let Wodell grant the Black Earl passage should he choose.
Yet... now isn’t the time to expose the Continent of Yuantan. But that day isn’t far away, come then, the Black Earl’s ties with Rhein mean he should indeed access the Dimensional Door.
For now, it cannot be disclosed to the Black Earl.
