The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 520: The Monument of Eternal Faith

Aldrian and the group then entered the opened path. They did not instantly step to the other side of the barrier, but walked through the thickness of the barrier itself, which amazed them, as they had to walk for a kilometre before encountering another space distortion. Aldrian tried to touch it, but his hand actually passed through, which made him confident enough to step in.

The rest of the group also followed. Once they stepped in and appeared on the other side of the space distortion, they were instantly greeted by dense heaven and earth energy that made their bodies tingle and caused their pores to react, instinctively absorbing the richness of the energy.

They had never felt such rich heaven and earth energy before—not even the cultivation sanctuary inside their family’s manor in the secret realm could compare to this place.

They could also sense the divine energy here, far richer than anything they had ever encountered across the Everlasting Silent Forest.

However, aside from the richness of the heaven and earth energy and divine energy, what truly amazed them was the scenery in front of them.

What they saw was a vast grassland stretching to the horizon. In the distance, they could see a mountain range with many towering peaks shaped like giant staffs piercing the sky. The tips of the mountains were faintly visible, as they rose beyond the clouds, which did not entirely cover them.

But the most amazing sight—the one they would never forget—was a giant floating landmass in the sky. It hovered above everything else, and from where they stood, they could see a massive structure on top of it. Although the structure was partially obscured by clouds, they could still make out its grandeur. It looked like a palace.

With this scenery and the shape of the structure above, they felt as if they had entered a different world. They began to wonder if the higher realms looked like this, and a sudden desire to reach the higher realm stirred in their hearts.

Aldrian, staring at the scenery before him, felt a wave of déjà vu. He let out a soft sigh, a tightness forming in his chest. The floating land, the palace—he had already seen it all before in the visions of his past. Everything was strikingly similar, even the palace’s shape.

A longing rose within him. It felt as if he had not returned to those places for a long time, even though he had never visited them in this life.

Patriarch Xin and Xin Haotian were speechless as they looked at the scene before them, filled with awe they could not put into words. Everything about this place felt truly perfect, and they found themselves not wanting to leave.

Aldrian closed his eyes. The first thing he needed to do here was to create his domain. Once he finished, he became the first to break the silence. He turned to the others.

"Let’s go. We can start exploring this place slowly. We’ll begin by checking the area near the barrier before moving closer to the central part," he said, pulling them out of their dazed state.

"I agree. Let’s check the outer area first before heading deeper into the core region," Patriarch Xin responded.

Before long, they began their exploration. They flew together as a group, unwilling to separate due to the unknown nature of this land. As beautiful as the place was, they did not know what dangers might be hidden within it. If they split up without knowing anything, they risked throwing their lives away by facing threats on their own.

They flew parallel to the barrier at first, and then changed to a direction that would gradually take them closer to the central area where the floating land was located.

Each of them extended their senses to the limit, maintaining constant vigilance. They continued flying, but even after five hours, they had not found anything worthy of their attention. They were still surrounded by endless grassland, and it felt as though the central area was no closer than before. Even so, they did not rush or grow impatient. They understood the central region might be incredibly large, and they were prepared to spend months exploring this place.

From time to time, Aldrian glanced at the palace on the floating land, where the sense of calling grew stronger. With each passing hour, the pull intensified, and more fragments of memory or visions began to resurface in his mind.

After flying for several more hours, their senses suddenly picked up something ahead. A few kilometres in front of them, they sensed a solitary structure standing in the middle of the grassland. As they drew closer, they saw that it resembled an obelisk.

Not long after, they arrived right in front of it and began observing the obelisk. Now up close, they could study its details more clearly. The obelisk was entirely white, with no markings on its surface. Judging by its appearance, it seemed to be made from a type of white marble.

"What is this structure for? Why is it standing here alone?" one of the elders asked, glancing between the obelisk and its surroundings.

"I think it’s a monument. Structures like this are usually used as landmarks or something similar," another elder replied.

A discussion began to stir among the elders, while Patriarch Xin turned to Aldrian after quietly observing the obelisk for a while.

"Young Aldrian, what do you think it is?" he asked.

But Aldrian did not answer immediately. He continued to study the obelisk, and a moment later, he activated his Eyes of Heaven.

The Monument of Eternal Faith

Description: The monument where the wills of many living beings from the past along with a part of their power are stored, waiting for the absolute ruler to awaken them.

----------------------------------

Reading the description, Aldrian understood what it meant. Without hesitation, he approached the obelisk and touched its surface. The others, who saw Aldrian approaching the structure and even touching it, raised their alert levels, wary of any traps or dangers that might be triggered once Aldrian made contact.

But nothing happened after Aldrian touched it, which slightly relieved them. However, they were stunned when the obelisk suddenly began to shine with a golden light. The light was blinding, forcing them to cover their eyes, and the obelisk continued to shine.

Aldrian already closed his eyes and injected his golden energy into the obelisk. In that instant, he felt as though his entire being had been transported to another space. Of course, he had already experienced this several times. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a different space—he knew this was a manifestation of his mindscape.

But this time, he was stunned after opening his eyes. In front of him, there wasn’t just one figure, not two or three, but what he saw were hundreds of figures with different features. There were beings in normal human appearance, as well as spiritual beasts that had taken human form. There were also elves, spirits, and many other beings whose nature he couldn’t identify.

He hadn’t expected to encounter so many people here. For them to store their will in the obelisk and wait for him, he guessed these individuals must have believed in him and waited for his return.

At that moment, they all immediately knelt before him.

"Welcome back, Great Emperor of All Heavens!"

"Welcome back, Absolute Ruler!"

"We congratulate you on your return, and you will return to your rightful place!"

They all shouted in unison, their voices echoing across the vast space of Aldrian’s mindscape.

Aldrian looked at these people and couldn’t help but feel bad because he didn’t recognize any of them!

"Stand up. I feel truly bad because I don’t have any memories of any of you, and yet you have faithfully waited for me until now," he said, prompting the people to straighten their posture in response.

One of them, positioned at the front, appeared to be a human-shaped spiritual beast with a pair of wings on his back. He looked at Aldrian with deep reverence.

"You don’t have to remember us, your majesty," he said. "We are but small figures unworthy of your attention, and we have only met you a few times from afar."

"That is true, your majesty," another voice said, this time from a dwarf. "We are merely insignificant and unworthy of your grand self remembering us."

"We placed our will here to show our unwavering faith in you, and we hope that you will return," said another, this time a beautiful elf woman.

Aldrian was deeply touched and wanted to speak further, but the winged man spoke again.

"Your majesty, we don’t have much time now that you have awakened us. Our presence here won’t last long. We only wish to see you one last time and give you a little help. Though we’re unsure if it will aid you, we hope it will. With this small assistance, we hope to accelerate your return to the highest realm."

"Though our lives may have already ended, our faith in you remains strong," another figure said.

"We are pleased to see you one last time, your majesty."

"We believe in you, your majesty."

"Your majesty—" frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

Many voices, full of conviction and faith, echoed before all of them began to dissipate into particles of light. The light moved toward Aldrian in a mass, and as it touched his body, it entered him, filling him with a warm sensation throughout his being.

But Aldrian seemed to ignore it, showing only a bitter smile.

"Even I don’t have time to say much more to you all," he said.
