Chapter 1777: 484 Earth Core Dream and Legendary Mentor_4
...
Indeed.
The Deep Space Tower's lock on him was closely related to the Sky-reaching Matrix!
Since the other party had the authority to accept him into the Sky-reaching Matrix, their identity was also becoming clear.
Matthew was about to say something,
but the other party quickly said,
"Leave the area you're in now!"
"Many ground forces from the Azure Dragon Series are rapidly approaching your location!"
"First move to the south, and then they should no longer be able to obtain your exact coordinates."
Matthew hurriedly said,
"I understand."
"What should I do if I want to help later?"
"Enter the Earth Core Dream again?"
The other party replied,
"No need."
"The Earth Core Dream has two layers; you're currently in the inner layer, while the intense fighting is happening in the outer layer."
"If I'm not mistaken, the friend you're looking for is also in the outer world of the Earth Core Dream; that's where you should head."
"However, the method to enter the outer world is a bit more special; I will send someone to find you..."
After saying this,
he again urged,
"Hurry!"
"Hurry!"
Matthew knew the other person wanted him to avoid further conflict with the descendants of the Empire.
So he quickly exited the Earth Core Dream.
Before leaving,
he loudly asked,
"My name is Matthew, how should I address you?"
The other party answered indifferently,
"Just call me Guda..."
As the voice fell,
Matthew had already returned to reality.
"Matthew!"
"I've detected a dangerous signal!"
Melinda's anxious voice came from outside.
Matthew immediately went outside.
There was no one outside, only a dark cloud rapidly moving on the distant horizon.
He couldn't help but give Melinda a glance.
This fellow was quite alert...
"That's the ground forces of the Azure Dragon Series."
"Let's avoid them for now!"
After speaking,
Matthew utilized the privileges he gained in the Sky-reaching Matrix and also included Melinda in the category of those who couldn't be monitored.
The two then quickly moved to the south.
Along the way,
to shake off the ground forces of the Azure Dragon Series, Matthew and Melinda used all kinds of high-level spells.
Before long,
they had left the pursuers far behind.
It was during this process,
that Matthew further witnessed Melinda's spellcasting abilities.
He had to admit,
the magical nature of a Secrets Sorcerer was indeed well-suited for support roles.
With Melinda's help,
Matthew felt his combat abilities had greatly improved—
and this was when she was only level 20.
If she could advance to legendary,
she might be even better than the Shield of Gem Mountain as a support-type spellcaster!
Noticing Matthew's unusual gaze,
Melinda felt a bit nervous and somewhat conflicted as she asked,
"Why... are you looking at me?"
Matthew straightforwardly said,
"I'm wondering when you can become legendary."
He hadn't considered whether Melinda had the potential to become legendary—
because that didn't require contemplation.
This woman's potential was truly extraordinary; otherwise, she wouldn't have caught the attention of Storluk Industries.
Melinda sighed lightly,
"The general once promised to show me the Legendary Path."
"If he were here, I might have already become legendary, but unfortunately..."
Matthew frowned,
"The Legendary Path should be about following one's own heart, shouldn't it?"
Melinda said bitterly,
"I know."
"But I'm different from others."
"I'm not like you; I don't have a firm Practitioner's heart."
"I don't even know what I really want..."
The more Matthew heard, the stranger it seemed.
His impression of Melinda was that of a woman who greatly admired strength.
Such a woman.
Would she even not know what she wants?
Melinda muttered,
"You might look down on me for saying this, but due to some unique experiences, my thinking is truly different from ordinary people..."
"Without a strong person by my side, I would feel restless."
"If I were alone, I would feel as if there were crises everywhere, and there would be no sense of safety anywhere."
"Even everyday life would become a painful torment, let alone pursuing the Legendary Path..."
Matthew was slightly surprised.
Extreme insecurity?
Was Melinda's admiration for strength really due to this reason?
He looked into her flickering eyes, guessing she certainly had more to say.
These words perhaps related to her abnormally intense insecurity.
Matthew opened his mouth.
But then he swallowed the comforting words he was about to say.
He reminded himself.
He still needed to keep his distance from Melinda.
It was better to treat this woman as a tool.
Getting too involved could potentially cause trouble.
Just as Matthew decided to remain silent,
a new prompt appeared in the data column.
...
"Prompt: Your Legendary Path has branched out—Legendary Mentor!
Legendary Mentor: You have gained the ability to clearly see the most suitable Legendary Path for a person.
You can use this ability to help specific targets advance to legendary.
After this,
You will receive an additional Legendary Gift, and a domain shared with the target after their advancement to legendary.
You have discerned Melinda's Legendary Path; below are the three most suitable directions for her advancement—
1. Star Spirit Mage (Storluk exclusive).
2. Dragon Group Mage (Star Realm Dragon exclusive).
3. Spiritual Power Scholar (Ancient exclusive)."
...
A flood of information rushed into Matthew's mind.
"Legendary Mentor?"
"Was this the title that Eli accidentally mentioned earlier?"
"After Phily, Soldier, and others advance to legendary, their Legendary Gifts are also related to the 'Legendary Mentor' title..."
A strange feeling surged in Matthew's heart.
Regarding this ability,
he of course had no resistance; after all, he was a helpful person, not to mention the benefits of domains and gifts he could take advantage of.
What puzzled Matthew was,
why could Natural Will foresee this?
Was it because of some irreversible mapping force?
Or was there another reason?
In thought,
the two had traversed one-eighth of Storluk's territory using Melinda's Starlight Wings.
They arrived at the south of the planet.
Soon,
a series of erupting volcanoes came into Matthew's view.
Upon reaching this place,
the terrain of Storluk, which was mostly great plains, began to change.
What replaced it were endless mountains,
most prominently, a series of billowing black volcanoes.
Matthew, with accurate perception,
saw that these volcanoes were not native to Storluk!
Sure enough...
...
"Warning: You are about to enter a new Space between purgatory (namely, the border between Storluk Planet and Morgan's Purgatory)!
You have perceived the existence of the outer world of 'Earth Core Dream'!"
...
Matthew suddenly understood.
So the outer world of Earth Core Dream was hidden in the region where Storluk Planet merged with Morgan's Purgatory!
No wonder the star spirits of Storluk were infiltrated so severely!
Ahead, in the volcanic region,
numerous fortresses and outposts appeared.
Storluk Industries had laid down an extremely meticulous defense line here, stringently controlling the entry of demons from the south into the homeland of the planet.
"Wait, if the outer world of Earth Core Dream is in the Space between purgatory, and Butterfly seemingly fell into it, then why did Aline Morgan run off to Hume Three to cause trouble?"
"She could have just entered directly from Morgan's Purgatory, right?"
Matthew suddenly thought of this.
At that moment,
a somewhat embarrassed voice came from beneath their feet:
"Excuse me..."
"Could you two come down for a moment, please?"
Matthew looked down.
He saw a massive and clunky iron barrel on the ground.
Underneath the barrel,
two sturdy bull hooves were faintly visible.
