Rise of a Dungeon Lord

Chapter 27 A Thousand Years Ago

?[Detecting repairs have been completely finished…..]

[Detecting Global gamification and Dungeon proliferation finished…]

[Detecting world name Aincrad…..]

[Detecting world is on the brink of promotion]

[Restarting system...]

[Restart complete...]

[Welcome back Dungeon Lord Ye Tian!]

Under the series of prompts, the formerly dark dungeon bottom began to light up

"Damn system, what on earth happened?"

"Is this a new world? And if so, why do I feel like a long time has passed?"

"Could it be that I slept for another fifty years like last time?"

Holding his head groggily, Ye Tian began bombarding the system while he survey his surroundings

According to what he remembered, if everything went according to plan then he should be in a dungeon made out of his split core

Luckily, it seemed that nothing had gone wrong in that aspect as after looking around for a while, Ye Tian was sure he was in the right place.

Sitting on a large stone throne with a round table and a core In front of him, Ye Tian felt a strong connection with the core in front of him

"So this is my dungeon?  Why so shabby?"

Looking at his surroundings, Ye Tian couldn't help but smack his lips.

However, just when he wanted to check what functions the core had now that a dungeon was built, the system's familiar voice once again sounded

[Host, before doing anything you might want to understand what happened while you were out]

[And no, it's not Fifty years, this time you were actually out for a thousand years due to the lack of world source]

[However don't worry, the time between each world and the void is different]

[According to the connection with my main body it should approximately be a week that passed]

Having finished its start-up process, the system began answering Ye Tian's question

Unfortunately, not all the answers were good answers

"What! A thousand years? What exactly happened??"

Exclaiming on his throne, Ye Tian couldn't believe the outrageous figure he just heard.

Although only one week had passed in the void,

But it was still unacceptable for he was 18 years old in his past life to suddenly become a 1000-year-old sage after two naps

Shaking his head, Ye Tian's face filled with disbelief as he listened to the system's explanation

[Host calm down, you know this isn't actually a bad thing]

[During these thousand years, a lot of things progress has been achieved so much so that our wake-up time exceeded my initial expectations]

[To be honest, based on the state we were in when we first arrived, I expected us to wake up in about five thousand years]

[Unfortunately, since everything that happened was a lot, I can't manually tell you so I'll just directly transmit it to you]

Saying this, the system began to transmit all knowledge from when the name of the world, to its origins, to all the things that occurred during the thousand years

And Ye tian receiving this sudden burst of information could help but howl out in pain

"Arghhh!"

Holding his head with his two hands, Ye Tian who was still feeling a bit groggy from earlier had completely woken up

Thankfully, the process was quick as it was painful, making the pain soon begin to fade.

"Ha~ Ha~ Ha~"

Panting with breaths full of exhaustion, Ye Tian's eyes were full of shock as he couldn't believe what he just saw

So much so that Ye Tian's anger toward the system for suddenly stuffing information toward his head had completely flown away.

"Damn! System how did this happen!"

"How did I not know my core could do all this?"

Thinking back to what he just saw, asked the system with doubt

It turns out that back when his core descended a thousand years ago,

upon its entry into the world, the source was completely drained making both he and the system enter a forced shutdown state

And with such a forced shutdown, Ye Tian could be said to be in his most vulnerable state ever

Back then, anyone could just walk up, pick up his core and do anything he wanted to without Ye Tian's reaction.

Thankfully this wasn't the case, as Ye Tian's entry into the world stimulated a lot of changes in Aincrad

Seeing the descent of Ye Tian's core into the world, both far and wide, gods and mortals all believed that this was a treasure from beyond the heavens.

Determined to get this treasure to empower their various factions, a thousand years ago, a huge war was fought over Ye Tian's core

However, little did they know that while they were fighting, the so-called 'treasure from outside the heavens' was slowly regaining life thanks to their bloodshed

Yes, even while dormant one of Ye Tian's characteristics was active

Devouring Evolution!

Devouring the corpses of those fallen during the process of war, the core slowly began to regain its vitality

However, perhaps it was as a means of self-defence against the multiple people aiming for it

Using its newly gotten powers from the corpses, the core subconsciously launched two more of its abilities

Gamification and core splitting.

Immediately, using itself as the centre and the surrounding corpses as an energy source

The core Immediately ran both abilities to the maximum.

Soon, it didn't take too long for most of the people at war to get news of the changes around the world

From the unexpected appearance of status screens to the discovery of something called dungeons with strange monsters and treasures inside them

Both sides tactically agreed to step back and go fight for the ownership of the newly appearing dungeons

And as for the 'treasure outside heaven' after taking a look, it was discovered that it had unexpectedly disappeared at some point in time.

Scrolling through the memories, Ye Tian couldn't help but sigh at the events that took place during that one thousand years.

"However, this doesn't explain why I'm just waking now."

Saying this, Ye Tian kept quiet waiting for the system to answer his questions

After all, 1000 years wasn't a small time.
