Eternal Thief



Since the system has completely assimilated the world seal map, it was the key to open the path towards the world seal. 

Looking at the bright light in front of him, Ace glanced at the fate map, which was now colored in silver, and without hesitation, he moved in! 

Just as he entered, the light slowly retreated, and the gate closed; everything returned to normal. 

The view in front of him changed as he was now standing on top of a mountain, and he was surprised to see that this was the only mountain in this place and his surroundings were nothing but gray space. 

In front of him were three small shrines, and there were three runes engraved on top, which read: Sky, Connection, and Earth. Inside them were three altars with mysterious runes, and in the center of those altars were keyholes. 

It didn't take a genius to figure out what that meant, and Ace smiled in relief, 'It's good that there isn't any hindrance this time.' 

Ace imagined that there would be some kind of guards or that this place might be hidden like the other secret realms, but it wasn't. Maybe those three ancestors or whoever built this thought that no one would ever be able to reach this place. After all, collecting the three keys and map was almost impossible. 

Suddenly, Ace thought about something and quickly opened the house leader mission section of the Thief House panel.

=====

Ace couldn't help but sneer, "So I still bested you!" 

Without hesitation, he quickly selected 'Yes', afraid the system would consider this a loophole. 

The next moment, the mission was issued to the house members, and Ace quickly summoned them out. 

When Noa, Freya, and Winter appeared, they were astounded seeing their surroundings. 

"So, this is a secret realm? Isn't it too small?" Freya commented as she looked around with scrutiny. 

"This might be built small," Winter replied, as she had already seen just how big a secret realm can be. 

Noa, on the other hand, instantly focused on the shrines ahead of them and looked at Ace, "Is this about the mission just now?" She asked softly. 

Ace nodded with a grin, "Yes, I've already collected the keys, and all was left to insert them. But then I thought, why not try to create a mission out of it, and it works splendidly! Here, these are the keys, and those symbols represent Sky, Connection, and Earth from left to right. Just insert them, and you'll complete the mission. As I said, I'm going to help you all to the best of my abilities." 

The next moment, three crystalline keys appeared in his hand. He gave the Sky Key to Noa, the Connection Key went to Freya, and Winter took the Earth Key. 

"Go ahead." Ace nodded solemnly.

"What would happen once this lock is unlocked?" Winter asked with squinted eyes. 

"Truthfully, your guess is as good as mine. Just unlock it, and then you should quickly retreat to the thief's house. Let me care about what happened next." Ace sternly stated. 

The three of them nodded and walked towards their corresponding shrines, and simultaneously inserted the keys!

Thereafter, the three altars and keys instantly lit up in dense lights, and the three of them quickly retreated as they also heard their mission was completed at this moment. 

Ace didn't tarry and quickly sent them back as he looked at the glowing shrines. 

Suddenly, three light pillars rose above the shrines and pierced into the gray sky. The entire mountain began to tremble as cracks started to appear. Ace quickly flew off the mountain as an extremely profound aura filled the air. 

His expression was solemn as he watched the mountain crumbling into dust. However, the shrines were still floating, and it was at this moment that he finally saw a massive formation circle right underneath the mountain and runic chains connected to the three altars. 

Ace had never seen anything like that massive formation before. It was too profound even for someone like him. 

The three light pillars started to emit powerful waves, and the gray sky started to vanish and was replaced by the golden sky. The secret realm space was being merged back!

Furthermore, its location wasn't the Qi radiation region of the endless sea. Instead, Ace found that he was now in a massive underground space filled with dense Qi, and he could feel the laws here almost visible to the eyes. 

Being cautious, Ace decided to hide by using his thief's shelter ability. An extremely thin membrane of mirror-like space started to cover his body, and soon, he completely vanished! 

The huge formation was now covering a giant ball of condensed golden energy. As the formation appeared on it, the golden ball suddenly started to tremble and then strangely began to smash into the formation as if wanted to get free from it. 

Dark runes suddenly appeared on the shrines and started to light pillars like ants, and the next moment, in front of three shrines, three items appeared out of thin air!

In front of the sky shrine, a small broken black bottle appeared. In front of the connection shrine appeared a pitch-black sword, while in front of the earth shrine, a dry tree branch. 

'That sword!' Ace's eyes narrowed while looking at the pitch-black sword. He clearly remembered seeing the same sword on top of the demon temple when he was escaping!

An ancient voice rang, filled with fury at this moment, "Which degenerate dare to profane the God's will!?" 

This language was not the language of this world, but Ace clearly understood it in a heartbeat, and he was astounded because that voice came from none other than the pitch-black sword!

'Is that a weapon with a spirit like Moira?' Ace's heartbeat fastened, but he didn't reply and just watched while hiding in the fabric of space. 

The three items being to sucked into the altars in the shrines as all those runic chains started to break one after another! 

"NO! You're making a mistake! If you let this Worldly Will escape, the Forbidden Boundary will also vanish, and a terrible monstrosity will escape its prison! Stop this madness before you bring calamity to your Heaven!" 

Shocking words came from the Sword!
