Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 4)

Chapter 629 - World Heart!

Nie Yan brought out a Rank 3 Fire Life Core. The Darkwing Dragon glanced at the scarlet red crystal before turning its head away. It didn't appear too interested but with enough coaxing would still eat it nonetheless; likely it wouldn't be as effective, though, since it wasn't of the corresponding element.

"Well, aren't you the picky eater," Nie Yan smiled. "I suppose I'll have to feed you only Darkness Life Cores from now on."

Nie Yan tossed a Darkness Life Core into the air.

The Darkwing Dragon turned back around and snapped up the Life Core at lightning speed, then swallowed the whole thing down with glee.

Nie Yan could sense the Darkwing Dragon growing a bit stronger, albeit vaguely. He had no idea when it would rank up.

After eating the Life Core, the Darkwing Dragon stared at Nie Yan with sparkling eyes, almost as if begging for more.

Nie Yan took out another Darkness Life Core and threw it to the Darkwing Dragon.

The Darkwing Dragon swallowed one Life Core after another. Since it was a Rank 6 creature, the effects of Rank 1-3 Life Cores were limited. However, the quantity helped make up for this difference. Nie Yan could sense a powerful darkness aura radiating from the Darkwing Dragon. It was extremely corrosive. All the plants within a three-meter radius wilted and died.

The Darkwing Dragon let out a satisfied burp. Its belly was round and full, having probably eaten a dozen or so Life Cores.

Like anyone after devouring a big meal, the Darkwing Dragon seemed to be getting drowsy. So, Nie Yan recalled it back into his pet space.

Looking at the world inside, the Darkwing Dragon had already found a corner to curl up in and sleep. A dense mist of darkness energy shrouded its body, wrapping around it like a cozy blanket.

The Darkwing Dragon fell fast asleep.

Nie Yan could sense a powerful force stirring within the Darkwing Dragon. He didn't know what kind of changes would occur once it woke up.

Nie Yan withdrew his gaze. His time was dedicated between training his artisan skills or clearing the Luminous Dancer class advancement quest. As he trekked deeper into the forest, far off in the distance, a strange structure hovering over the forest canopy caught his eye.

An enormous castle floated high in the air; nothing supported it off the ground. Though it was more ruin than castle, bearing traces of the flames of war-fallen towers, partially destroyed walls, and so on-it still looked exceptionally grand.

It was just like Calore, a floating city.

You have discovered the World Heart.

"W-what? The World Heart!?" Nie Yan was dumbstruck.

In the Ancient Book of Curtis, the World Heart was the center of the world. Floating above the Atlanta Continent, it was the abode of the gods. But after the Third War of the Gods, it vanished without a trace, never to appear again.

Since the World Heart was only briefly described in ancient history books, it was treated as fiction, a myth of old.

Nie Yan's intuition told him that the World Heart was directly related to his Luminous Dancer class advancement quest. He immediately set off toward it.

As he got closer to the World Heart, he started running into stronger and stronger monsters. Nie Yan gradually slowed down. He raised his head and saw black dots circling around the World Heart. They were flying creatures. Even though he had never seen them before, judging from their enormous sizes, he could tell they were quite high rank and much more powerful than his Darkwing Dragon.
