After an unknown amount of time, Nan Qu finally caught a glimpse of the floating island radiating a mysterious light in the distance. But just then, a gigantic magical bird suddenly swooped down from the clouds and attacked Nan Qu. This bird was enormous, its wings creating powerful gusts of air with each flap, and its beak, as hard as steel, swooped down fiercely at Nan Qu.

However, just as the bird was about to peck at her, the dragon Regal suddenly appeared and swallowed the bird with a burst of fire.

"I have a familiar feeling. Master, come with me."

With Regal there, the seemingly dangerous road ahead suddenly became quiet.

Upon reaching the floating island, she discovered that the island's scenery was quite peculiar. Everywhere there were magical crystals shimmering with strange light, as well as some magical plants she had never seen before. Some of these plants even moved on their own, as if they had their own consciousness.

"Be careful, there's plenty of magical element here; animals, plants, and even rocks can become enchanted."

Nan Qu is a monk, not a magician, so he cannot sense the abundant magical elements on the island at this time.

However, it's strange that Rehgar, who belongs to a magical dimension, can't sense any magical elements.

Could there be something wrong with the story Taya told?

Filled with doubt, Nanqu carefully avoided the magical plants that moved on their own while asking Regal, "How come you can't sense any magical elements either? Logically speaking, you were born in this magical spacetime, so this shouldn't be the case."

Regal shrunk to the size of a black cat and slowly said, "I also find it strange. Since I awakened, many of my senses have become blurred. Although I can only breathe fire, no magic is harmful to me. In addition, I am naturally very resilient, so those humans have no way to deal with me." As he said this, Regal couldn't help but raise his head. He looked very proud.

Nanqu recalled the story Taya had told her: the dragon was originally a divine beast created by the creator god to protect the balance of the world. It possessed boundless power and could manipulate the elemental forces of the world. Later, for some unknown reason, it fell into a deep sleep, and its power dispersed to every corner of the magical space-time. Therefore, the magical energy that everyone possesses now is a gift from the dragon.

If the origin of magic in this world comes from Rehgar, then it's not impossible that it's immune to magic.

But if the magical elements originally belonged to Rehgar, why can't it sense their presence now?

Nan Qu had a premonition that this might be the real reason they came into this world.

If Rehgar truly is a divine beast that balances the world, then its existence must restrain the "main system." Conversely, if the main system knew of such a divine beast's existence, wouldn't it take some action?

Nan Qu thought about it more and more and felt that her guess was very likely. Her expression became serious: "Xiao Kong, I know why you want me to become stronger, and I know that you want the divine beast to advance to a higher level so that you have more protection. But the dragon itself is already very strong. Why does it have to come here to find some kind of energy source?"

The Time-Space Beast didn't hide anything: "I don't know either, it was my inner feeling that made me do it."

Nanqu knew that as divine beasts, they all had their own inheritances, just like Xiaobai and the others; they could cultivate in their dreams simply by sleeping. Therefore, she did not doubt the Time-Space Beast's words.

Then, turning to Rehgar, he said, "Rehgar, I suspect that your slumber and the dissipation of your power are related to that malfunctioning main system. Perhaps it's the one pulling the strings behind the scenes, trying to weaken your power so that it can do whatever it wants in spacetime."

Upon hearing this, Regal's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and flames flickered faintly around its body. It said hatefully, "If I really find out that it was that guy who did this, I will tear it to pieces! But we haven't figured out the situation yet, so we need to get my power back first."

As she spoke, Nanqu continued walking towards the island. Before long, she arrived at a magical forest that exuded a mysterious aura. The trunks of the trees were covered with strange patterns, like ancient runes, and the branches were laden with jewel-like fruits that shimmered with a captivating yet dangerous light.

"This place doesn't look simple, Regal, be careful," Nanqu warned, looking around warily.

Regal nodded and was about to step forward when suddenly the trees seemed to come alive, their branches lashing wildly at Nanqu. Nanqu quickly circulated his spiritual energy, erecting a spiritual energy shield in front of him. The branches struck the shield, making crackling sounds and sending sparks flying.

Regal opened his mouth wide and spewed out raging flames, burning the attacking branches. Upon contact with the flames, the branches weren't immediately destroyed; instead, they seemed to absorb the power of the flames, becoming even thicker and stronger, and their attacks grew even more ferocious.

"This is not easy to deal with. Ordinary methods don't seem to work." Nan Qu frowned, strengthening the defense of her spiritual energy shield while observing the magical trees, trying to find their weaknesses.

Just then, Nanqu noticed that the runes on the tree trunks flashed rhythmically as the branches swayed and attacked. A thought struck her: perhaps these runes were the key to controlling the trees. She quickly shouted to Regal, "Regal, attack the runes on the tree trunks! I feel that's the key!"

Upon hearing this, Regal immediately adjusted his direction, unleashing pillars of fire at the runes on the tree trunk. When the flames struck the runes, they flickered a few times before dimming, and the corresponding branches seemed to lose their support, ceasing their attack and drooping limply.

Seeing that this method was effective, Nanqu and Regal worked together to attack the runes on the tree trunks one by one. Before long, they had neutralized the attack from this magical forest. After passing through the forest, an ancient and magnificent castle appeared before them, exuding an aura of vicissitude and mystery, as if it carried the secrets of countless years.

"The clues related to my energy source should be hidden inside, Master. Let's go in." Regal transformed back into his dragon form and looked at the castle.

Nan Qu took a deep breath, nodded, and the two walked towards the castle gate. Just as they reached the gate, it slowly opened automatically, releasing an ancient yet powerful aura.

Without hesitation, Nan Qu stepped into the castle. The castle was dimly lit, with only the occasional glow from the magic crystals embedded in the walls illuminating the path. They walked slowly along the long corridor, occasionally hearing faint whispers, as if something was watching them from the shadows, sending chills down their spines.

As they walked, a huge magic circle appeared ahead, its light shimmering.

"No, Regal, get out! We've fallen for their trap!"
