Chapter 161: 116: The Shattered Throne of the Seven Kings (Seeking Monthly Votes, Seeking Recommendations)
Sherri and Lilith were very surprised. They had their share of the inheritance of miracles, but only their own.
As for other miracles, Lilith and Sherri only had a vague understanding.
“Upper Tier!”
They didn’t understand the Miracle World, but they could grasp the meaning of “Upper Tier.”
Upper Tier Miracle, this was indeed an Upper Tier Miracle!
“Avalon, this name, it’s just like a myth I heard in my previous life.”
Bailuo did not know the relationship between them, but in any case, the Avalon World now belonged to him, his Miracle World, without a doubt.
“That’s right!”
Bailuo exclaimed, “My cup! My cup is still in the lake!”
Bailuo quickly asked Lilith to retrieve the cup, but Lilith indicated that she could no longer sense the cup’s location.
“Uh…”
So the cup was just a key?
“Then my sword…”
Bailuo looked at the Golden Sword in his hand, only to find that it had changed its appearance, turning into an incredibly magnificent Divine Sword.
[The Holy Sword of the Four Directions – Caliburn]
Rating: Legend
Ability: Unclaimed
“What is this situation?”
Bailuo was stunned for a moment, but his mind indeed jumped out with information about the sword: “Didn’t I forge this sword myself, how…”
Bailuo’s thoughts at this moment were a bit chaotic; he sorted them out.
First, he used the Silver Cup to open the gates of Avalon and became the master of the seventh miracle.
However, since it hadn’t been awakened, Bailuo did not know the specific abilities of this Miracle World.
Then, the Golden Sword Bailuo had personally forged changed its look.
It was more gorgeous, more holy, and majestic.
In short, the sword had become cooler, irresistibly cooler.
“The sword has a name.”
Bailuo asked Lilith and Sherri, “Can you see it?”
“We can.”
Lilith nodded, “This sword must have been blessed by the power of the Miracle World, thus becoming an Offspring of Miracle (resource, treasure).”
“I see.”
Bailuo had heard from his uncle before that the Iron Eagle King’s Magic Ore would produce special offspring, and the Fairy Armor that Lilith had previously blessed was also a type of offspring.
The Avalon World can produce special resources, which means it has great potential for development.
“But why is it unclaimed?”
As Bailuo pondered this question, the sound of the Black Leather Book’s pages turning rang out again.
“Hm?”
Bailuo looked at the seventh page of the Black Leather Book, only to see new text appearing on it.
[You have become the Master of Avalon, but Avalon’s power requires new choices]
[Now, please enter Avalon World and personally select the portion of Authority that belongs to you]
[Please note, you can only choose one type of Authority, and once selected, the other functions of Avalon World will be permanently closed]
[So, move forward without attachment, to the end of this path]
“…”
“The mission, it’s not over yet?”
Bailuo looked at the Holy Sword in his hand again, sure enough, the information ‘whether to choose the treasure, to open the Avalon Treasury’ appeared in his mind.
“Treasure?”
Bailuo understood that there were many things in Avalon World, but he could only choose one of them.
Just like the Holy Sword in his hand, if Bailuo chose it, then he would be able to open the Avalon Treasury, which surely contained similar treasures.
“Sherri, Lilith, let’s go in first.”
“Yes, Master.”
After Bailuo spoke, he mounted Sherri and took the lead, with Lilith closely following.
Crossing the water’s surface, Bailuo only felt a flash before his eyes, and when he looked forward again, he found himself amidst a sea of flowers.
The sky was azure, enveloped by a layer of translucent rainbow light, and through it, Bailuo saw many peculiar shadows.
However, the shadows disappeared quickly, not giving Bailuo enough time to see their appearance before they vanished.
“How beautiful this place is,”
Lilith, the Fairy Mother, even she was captivated by the scenery of Avalon World upon arriving.
‘Whether to choose the Firmament, to open the Starlight Coast (Star Realm) of Avalon.’
“Starlight Coast?”
Bailuo felt he hadn’t touched anything, nor had he allowed Lilith and Sherri to touch anything. He looked up, “Is the Starlight Coast what lies beyond that rainbow light?”
Bailuo did not make an immediate decision.
The choice was his to make alone.
In contrast, Lilith and Sherri were like Bailuo’s hands and feet; whatever they touched, Bailuo would receive information on what was within reach.
‘Whether to choose the Avalon Sacred Pillar and Garden, to open the Sacred Beast Forest of Avalon?’
When Lilith touched a pale blue column, Bailuo received the message, “Sacred Beast Forest? By the sound of it, it’s not as impressive as the Starlight Coast, thumbs down.”
And so, Bailuo, with Lilith and Sherri, continued forward.
During the journey, a large amount of repetitive information appeared.
Avalon Treasury, Starlight Coast, Sacred Beast Forest, until Bailuo, led by Sherri, arrived in front of a huge castle, and then he received a completely new message.
‘Whether to choose Avalon’s Staircase, Sculpture, Wall Painting, to open Avalon’s Castle?’
Walking on the staircase, the prompt was this, touching the sculpture, still this, admiring the wall painting, still this.
[Don’t be sentimental, go to the end of this path]
Bailuo recalled the last sentence from the Black Leather Book and so he didn’t stop. He just walked into this holy and majestic fairy-tale-like kingdom city.
‘Whether to choose the Altar, to open Avalon’s Trial Ground?’
Nope, nope, the teacher taught us, when you get a test paper, read it from beginning to end first.
“Boom~~~”
It seemed to have sensed Bailuo’s arrival; the castle standing tall in the center of the city slowly opened its gates.
“Hiss~~ so big!”
Behind the gates was an immensely vast palace.
Because it was extremely spacious, Bailuo rode in on Sherri, flying, followed closely by Lilith.
Not to mince words, if Bailuo were to rate the castle, he would only sigh—how much would this villa cost, would a million years of toiling as a wage-slave suffice?
“Is the end of the road inside this castle, or should I choose a different direction?”
Within this grand hall, most clues led to ‘obtaining the castle,’ the only difference being the crown placed on the pedestal.
‘Do you choose the Crown of Avalon to become the King of Avalon?’
“Yo!!”
Bailuo’s eyes sparkled, feeling that he understood: “It’s this one, choose this and become the King of Avalon, then obtain everything!”
Bailuo got it, he knew this kind of scheme.
With the hints from the Black Leather Book, Bailuo felt that resisting the previous temptations to reach the Crown of Avalon was all for this moment!
“Rustle rustle.”
However, just as Bailuo reached out for the Crown of Avalon, the Black Leather Book made a sound again.
“Hmm?”
Bailuo was startled, he instinctively looked at the content of the Black Leather Book and recoiled in shock: “Shit! It’s a trap!”
[To wear the crown, one must bear its burden.]
[The wearer of the crown will face the trials of Avalon, and only by passing them all can one obtain everything at once.]
That is to say, before completing all tasks, not a single benefit can be had?
“Trap! This is definitely a trap!”
Bailuo initially thought the crown was a treasure, but it turned out to be such a huge pitfall.
A massive pitfall!!
Bailuo was not worried that he couldn’t complete it; he still had that confidence.
The crown obviously wasn’t right; Bailuo didn’t care and would’ve accepted the challenge.
Choosing it anyway after knowing this would be foolish!
“To be honest, if it were up to me, to choose one—to permanently lose everything or to temporarily abstain and later gain it all—”
Bailuo felt he would choose the latter.
After all, with six Miracles and so much Miracle Power under his belt, there was no reason he couldn’t complete it.
Naturally, if Avalon World had been the first Miracle Bailuo found, he would have chosen the usable authority right then and there without a second thought.
[However, it’s not only the crown that represents supreme authority.]
[At the end of this path, the throne, the true core of this world, holds the key; secure it, and you shall have everything.]
“Xiao Hei, I love you, love you to death!”
Bailuo really wanted to give a few big kisses to the Black Leather Book, now that was a cheat, that was the prized treasure of the Bai Luo family.
Bailuo: Sorry, Ahei, I’ll never call you dark again.
“The throne!”
With such a clear hint, where was there to hesitate? Bailuo walked straight up and seated himself with a plop on the throne at the very front of the grand hall.
“It’s actually pretty comfortable.”
He had thought such a throne would be hard, but upon sitting, Bailuo found it truly comfortable, as if by magic.
“How come there’s no hint?”
Bailuo didn’t receive any hints, but he was not alarmed; rather, he was delighted.
Bailuo: Chang Wei, you say you don’t know kung fu?!
This was a hidden reward, meant to be inconspicuous, so naturally, it wouldn’t blatantly alert him.
But the throne made a fundamental mistake!
“Avalon World!”
Bailuo shouted, “I’ve made my choice, I choose this throne!”
Sherri and Lilith looked at Bailuo’s shout, but they didn’t understand the meaning behind his words.
Because, to their perception, the throne didn’t display any information.
“No information displayed!!!”
Sherri and Lilith seemed to realize something: “This doesn’t make sense, why is there no information about the throne only?”
You have to know, even when at the sea of flowers outside, if Lilith touched even a small flower, it would prompt Bailuo whether he wanted to choose the Avalon Garden.
“It seems once is not enough.”
Lacking any more hints from the Black Leather Book, Bailuo planned to employ the most cliché method: “You have to say important things three times.”
“I choose this throne!”
“I choose this throne!!”
Still, there was no reaction.
“Alright, you’re tough.”
Bailuo had time to spare, and he decided to confront this throne: “If three times aren’t enough, a hundred times it is.”
A hundred times, indeed!
If you won’t give it to me today, old Sun, I won’t leave!
As it turned out, Bailuo was right, and so was the Black Leather Book.
This throne was indeed a hidden option.
It just didn’t take a hundred times; when Bailuo reached the 13th shout, a very familiar message appeared in his mind.
‘Do you choose the ‘Shattered Throne of the Seven Kings’ to become the true King of Avalon and wield everything?’
“Hahaha!!!”
Bailuo burst into laughter and immediately replied, “Yes, yes, yes, I choose this throne, I choose it!”
“Ding! Ding! Ding!”
“???”
Instead of the expected Miracle Blossom or any similar spectacle, there came an embarrassingly awkward prompt.
[Your compatibility with the world is too low to become the King of Avalon.]
“I…”
Bailuo almost spewed blood: “Damn it!!!”
