Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 4243

Geoffrey leaned against the wall and stared blankly at the "chimney" in the distance.

The incredible and fascinating adventure was over. Perhaps now he would have to face the God of Death.

He wasn't prepared for that...

His mother had told him all sorts of legends of his father since he was a child;

he had saved the Cloud Hall, the Central Region, the great world and the universe...

His father had always been quite fortunate. It all seemed effortless for him, as if all these feats were accomplished with ease.

Although Letitia had told him of times his father had been trapped in danger and how he had been on the verge of death on countless occasions, what he heard was a stark contrast to what he had experienced himself.

How could he overcome a dead end that no one else had managed to?

His father must have been faced with similar predicaments in his time. What would he have done? What was he thinking in these situations?

Geoffrey sat there, still, for a few hours.

It was getting dark.

The golden ring atop the Deep Space seemed to be covered with a layer of scales, gradually turning from golden to a deep black. As night fell, the slightly bright light shone on the chimney. From afar, it appeared almost as a giant beast, ready to devour the people.

Inside the oval building, Elder Xue spoke in the language of the Elemental race.

The creatures in the Deep Space communicated with very unique sounds; unlike the rhythmic sounds of the creatures of the main world, they let out faint squeaks and crackles, like a group of crickets chirping in a low voice.

Elder Xue was teaching the Elemental race. They still needed to acquire more knowledge in order to successfully handle the test in the chimney.

These members of the Elemental race were clear about what lay ahead for them. They knew that if they wanted any chance of passing the test, they would have to absorb as much information that might be useful as they could.

Their race used to be quite primitive. They were once unable to pass even the initial tests, let alone occupy a place in this huge square. The golden light annihilated them when they had been captured by the spiders and brought to the underground space.

As the night stretched on, the black scales on the golden ring became thicker and thicker, and all other surroundings turned pitch black.

Elder Xue reached out and gently scratched the wall. A circular flame slowly appeared, revealing those inside and outside the room.

Geoffrey then stood up and walked in.

"Have you decided?" Elder Xue asked casually.

"Why would such a chimney appear here? Why do they need to select an intelligent creature?" asked Geoffrey.

"Good question," replied Elder Xue with pride. "Although the Fostering race was destroyed, before their elimination, they concocted this. It's really quite something to behold."

The Cinnabar race and the Fostering race had perished together and had left this precious inheritance before their demise in order to select an intelligent creature to resurrect the civilization of the Deep Space.

It was a generous and kind race that cared for the well beings of others. They might not have existed anymore, but they hoped the civilization of the Deep Space would be passed on and continue in some way.

Geoffrey exhaled heavily upon hearing Elder Xue's words and said, "I've made up my mind. I'll go! Can you teach me what I need to do?"

His decision did not surprise Elder Xue, as it was almost inevitable that he would make this choice.
