CHAPTER 553: CHAPTER 539: SHOCKING APPEARANCE! DRAGON GOD NIDHOGG

"Found it?"

Isabelle looked towards Lin Yi like a drowning person grabbing a lifeline, nervously asking:

"Where is it?"

This task was not only Lin Yi’s mission, but also critical for Isabelle to uncover the truth of the past and find her father!

Lin Yi pointed his finger at a light spot on the opposite cliff and said:

"There!"

Then Lin Yi went to the edge of the platform and indeed found a deeply hidden mirror on this side.

Only when the sun reached a specific position did the light reflect into it, then bounce off towards the opposite cliff.

With Lin Yi’s reminder, everyone also noticed the anomaly:

"It really is!"

"How come I didn’t see it?"

"When I looked here just now, there wasn’t this light spot, when did it appear?"

Xiao He confidently stated:

"I bet this is exactly the clue we’re looking for."

Everyone rolled their eyes:

"Huh~"

"Did you really need to say that?"

Lin Yi had already flown onto that cliffside, and when his hand touched where the light beam hit, he clearly felt the rock was very loose.

Lin Yi finally felt relieved:

"It’s really here!"

Next, Lin Yi easily removed the rock and found a jade box inside.

However, Lin Yi didn’t hurriedly open the jade box, but flew back to the platform holding it, and everyone immediately gathered around:

"What’s inside?"

"Looks like it should be something good!"

"After all this effort, if it’s not a demigod artifact, it wouldn’t be worth the time we wasted!"

"Exactly! If I spent this time leveling up, I’d be level 48 by now."

Lin Yi glared at them:

"You guys, say less."

They quickly shut their mouths, but their eyes remained fixed intently on the jade box in Lin Yi’s hand.

But Lin Yi didn’t open it immediately; instead, he handed the jade box to a very nervous Isabelle:

"You open it."

Isabelle pointed at herself, surprised:

"You want me to open it?"

Lin Yi held out his hand:

"Go ahead."

After confirming Lin Yi wanted her to open it, Isabelle first said:

"Thank you!"

Then, without hesitation, she reached out and took it.

Isabelle was filled with anticipation, eager to know what her father had left behind.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Isabelle slowly opened the jade box, only to find no demigod artifact or anything special inside.

There was only a fist-sized, crystal-clear orb.

Upon seeing the orb, Isabelle couldn’t hold back her tears any longer, which spilled out uncontrollably.

At this moment, Isabelle’s eyes were filled with unbelievable shock and unbearable despair, as she cried out:

"Father God!"

The few who were eagerly anticipating alongside her fell silent upon seeing the orb.

For at this time, the orb’s information displayed in everyone’s eyes was:

[Dragon Pearl] Lv???

Dragon God · Nidhogg

Finding it hard to accept the reality, Isabelle handed the box with the Dragon Pearl to Lin Yi, then ran aside, covering her face and crying bitterly.

Zhang Xinying quickly went to console her, while Lin Yi, after taking the jade box, saw a prompt flash before his eyes:

"The [Dragon Pearl] seems to record some mysterious information. Do you wish to inject energy to unlock it?"

[Confirm] [Cancel]

Seeing the heartbroken Isabelle beside him, Lin Yi didn’t hesitate much and chose: [Confirm].

Then Lin Yi was shocked to find that his health plummeted in an instant, with only less than 100 out of 20,000 remaining.

At this moment, the Dragon Pearl in the jade box rolled out, and a flash of white light appeared before everyone’s eyes.

A middle-aged man’s hologram appeared above the Dragon Pearl. Upon seeing him appear, Dongfang Jing immediately recognized the person and said in shock:

"Lord Dragon God."

Isabelle, upon seeing this image, was overjoyed and rushed over:

"Father!"

But as expected, she passed right through.

Seeing this, Tian Ci and others exclaimed:

"Wow, holographic projection!"

Zhang Xinying gave them a glare:

"Shut up."

Seeing this, others who wanted to speak also closed their mouths.

But what shook everyone next was that Nidhogg’s gaze, upon appearing, swept around Lin Yi and others, not immediately focusing on his daughter Isabelle.

In the end, Nidhogg fixed his eyes on Lin Yi and said something that left Lin Yi speechless:

"Chosen One, you’ve finally come."

Lin Yi was momentarily speechless:

"Don’t tell me, you’ve been waiting for me?"

Isabelle suddenly came into Nidhogg’s sight, her face tear-streaked:

"Father, you don’t remember me?"

Nidhogg looked at Isabelle, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, and said:

"Isabelle, it’s a joy to see you again. Father God wasn’t wrong."

"However, I don’t have much time now, I’m sorry dear Belle."

"If there’s another chance, Father will stay with you and never leave again,"

Nidhogg looked at the tearful Isabelle with a heartache and said apologetically:

"I’m sorry, my child!"

Then he turned to Lin Yi, not responding to Isabelle’s calls, and said:

"You’re right, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time."

Lin Yi was a bit dazed, pointing to himself:

"Are you sure you’re waiting for me?"

Nidhogg nodded and said:

"That’s right, you are the Chosen One."

"What I’m about to say is very important, you must remember it!"

"Be extremely cautious of Samson. His forte is soul control, and he may be your greatest enemy as Chosen Ones."

"Under no circumstances should the Demon Race control the Rafam Continent, for it would spell disaster not only for Rafam and the Hundred Races, but also affect your dimension."

"As for why, I cannot elaborate now. Once you reach the top of the Endless Tower, all will be revealed."

"Additionally, my kin are imprisoned in the Celestial Pool Purgatory of Pilgrimage Mountain. I hope you can rescue them as soon as possible."

"Also, I’ve left a gift for you in Bell’s cave, hope you like it."

"Lastly..."

Nidhogg’s gaze, with a hint of plea, fell on Lin Yi:

"Please take good care of my kin and my daughter. They will pave your way in the new anti-demon battlefield."

Before Lin Yi could fully digest Nidhogg’s words, Nidhogg suddenly turned to Isabelle:

"There’s also a gift I prepared for you, my dear Belle."

After saying this, Nidhogg’s hologram began to fade, leaving only a phrase in the air:

"Belle, I love you."

In Isabelle’s earth-shattering cry, only the dimmed Dragon Pearl on the ground seemed to silently tell a story.
