Luckily, the fog receded on the new day.
Dazzling sunlight illuminated the entire land.
With nothing blocking his view, the Sky Island was fully revealed to the Wandering Mage.
He looked out and clicked his tongue in admiration, offering endless praise.
"Incredible! The area is so vast; it's even larger than some Small Chunks!"
"Those giant dragons love gold. They're so busy fighting over shiny things that they don't have the patience to expand their chunks."
"Wait, besides the Redstone Cannons, there are other structures built with redstone?"
"So this is what pushes out infinite rails? *Hiss*, what an exquisite and ingenious magical construction!"
"And those two items next to it—I believe their value is no less than the Redstone Cannons. This is truly shocking!"
After a brief tour, the Wandering Mage felt like his worldview was being shattered.
He, a mage titled 'Wandering,' was having his worldview overturned in a rookie chunk?
It sounded unbelievable, yet it was the cold, hard truth.
"Redstone possesses miraculous effects, but the methods for using it have long been lost. I never expected to see so much of it here."
"No, wait, what is this now?!"
After inspecting the redstone, the Wandering Mage noticed the high wall.
When he had stepped on it earlier, he thought it was just a simple wall, but he finally saw it clearly once the fog vanished.
Runed Bricks engraved with mysterious inscriptions were linked by specific symbols, and the exterior was resplendent with gold.
Gilded patterns flickered faintly, exuding a sense of divine majesty.
If one stood close enough, they could clearly feel a sense of intimidation emanating from it.
It was as if the cries of another civilization were contained within, piercing straight to the soul.
"H-how... how do you have something like this in your chunk?"
The Wandering Mage was so excited he began to stutter.
He could wrap his head around what he saw earlier, but this completely exceeded his understanding.
Beyond the Great Wall, he could see the early silhouette of a palace still under construction in the distance.
Even though it was only just begun, its luxury and depth left one in awe.
What kind of person could live in such a luxurious palace?
In the Wandering Mage's experience, only those god-like, immensely powerful beings in Large Chunks could possess such a thing.
"Haha, it's the Architect's work. It's still quite rudimentary at the moment, so please don't laugh."
Galen Yu laughed as he chatted, all while preparing the items he needed for his departure.
There were too few people in the chunk right now, and the Dragon Palace was a massive undertaking, making construction difficult.
Looking at the design, Galen Yu had actually completed many projects far more grindy and time-consuming than the Dragon Palace.
Compared to those, this really was rudimentary.
"This is rudimentary?"
If this was rudimentary, were they living in pigsties?
Looking at the Architect, the Wandering Mage felt a bit more at ease.
'Does he retain his architectural instincts even with amnesia? He truly is a legendary existence.'
No one but the Architect could give off such an aura.
Or rather, only a palace like this was worthy of his status.
The Wandering Mage didn't dwell on it; he felt he had been shocked enough for one day.
Looking at Galen Yu, he spoke.
"Are you heading out to find the Ender Dragon?"
"That's right. I'm ready."
Nodding, Galen Yu had everything prepared.
Tri-Bow, SlashBlade, Enchanted Golden Apple, Charm of Life, Potion of Invisibility, food...
All that was left was to give a few instructions to the Architect before setting out.
"Is he serious? He's actually going?"
"When has God Yu ever bragged? He's been preparing for so long, he must be confident!"
"The first kill of the Ender Dragon will be ours!"
"Baka! It's definitely a bluff. How could Galen Yu possibly know about the Ender Dragon?"
"Only a fool would believe him. He'll probably just walk around for a bit, say he tried his best but couldn't find it, and then go home!"
"It's just big talk. You can't take it seriously!"
"Just wait for the reality check!"
Seeing that Galen Yu really intended to hunt the dragon, the bullet chat was filled with skepticism.
Rationally speaking, based on the Wandering Mage's stories, if there was a dragon, it should be in a Small Chunk.
Different tiers of chunks didn't connect; the Barrier Blocks were proof of that.
How could the Ender Dragon be in a Miniature Chunk?
Even the Black Mage let out a cold laugh.
"I've searched through Small Chunks and Medium Chunks and never found any Ender Dragon. I don't believe you can find it!"
"What if he does find it?"
The Wandering Mage asked with a chuckle before Galen Yu could respond.
"If he can find and kill it, I'll kneel before him, admit my mistake, and willingly become his thrall, dedicating all my power to him for the rest of my life."
"But can he even find it?"
Killing it was one thing, but finding it was currently a massive problem.
Just as he was about to speak, Galen Yu switched to an Eye of Ender.
"He wants to find the Ender Dragon with that? An Ender Pearl? No, wait."
Narrowing his eyes, the Wandering Mage carefully observed the item in Galen Yu's hand.
It was more solid than an Ender Pearl, and it seemed to contain some impurities, like some kind of powder.
Holding it in his hand, he tossed it gently into the sky.
The Eye of Ender slowly ascended, gradually moving in a specific direction.
Outside the screen, the Blonde Elder couldn't help himself.
"Hahahaha!"
"An Ender Pearl? Everyone knows it only has one use: teleportation!"
If it had a tracking function, someone would have discovered it long ago.
Ronan Mountwell even had a Hunter passive that made it easier for him to notice things than others, yet so much time had passed.
Aside from teleportation, what other function could an Ender Pearl possibly have?
"Everyone says you're powerful, like a god, with superior understanding of everything, but you're regressing the older you get!"
""
This was something even the Blonde Elder knew!
Before his laughter could subside, his secretary sighed and pointed at the screen.
"Sir, I told you, there's definitely something up with Nine Provinces. You really shouldn't laugh..."
Following the direction of the finger, one could see that the Eye of Ender wasn't behaving like an Ender Pearl.
It didn't teleport anything; instead, it flew in a certain direction for a moment before stopping, leaving a trail of ender particles in the air.
There was no sign of teleportation. Looking closely at that trail, its purpose was obvious.
It was guiding him!
"How could an Ender Pearl have a guiding effect?"
The laughter stopped abruptly, and the Blonde Elder's face changed instantly.
The audience was equally surprised.
"Is that an Ender Pearl in God Yu's hand? It's guiding him?"
"Ender Pearl, Ender Dragon... based on the names, they're definitely related!"
"Could it be that the reason no one found it before was because they were looking in the wrong direction? You have to start with the Ender Pearl?"
"That makes sense. The Wither doesn't spawn naturally either; the players have to build it themselves!"
"Maybe it's the same for the Ender Dragon, but the method was lost until God Yu rediscovered it?"
"That's incredible!"
With the Wither as a precedent, it was indeed easy to understand.
However, this hypothesis was quickly shattered by the Black Mage.
"Impossible. The Ender Dragon is a real entity, not an alchemical creature like the Wither."
"What is that thing in your hand? How can it provide guidance?"
It looked like an Ender Pearl, but his intuition told him it definitely wasn't one.
It was something new that the Black Mage had never seen!
"Aren't you an advanced being with vast knowledge? How do you not know this?"
Desperate to know what it was, the Black Mage was met only with Galen Yu's retort.
Speechless for a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
He had indeed relied on his experience and knowledge, thinking rookies were nothing special, but now...
This so-called rookie was giving him a harsh lesson!
