Gojo had also informed him that it would wane away in exactly 24 hours.
Right now, the time wasn\'t up yet, but Nolan could see it was already waning, and if he wanted to keep himself dry and comfortable while being underwater, then he ought to meet with Gojo again.
But Nolan was a little bit reluctant.
Going to meet Gojo and asking for Divine Essence felt like borrowing something precious from him.
It would only result in Gojo\'s mocking and made Nolan feel useless, knowing he didn\'t even have his own Divine Essence, an object of mockery for him.
And besides, would Gojo really not mind that he was giving someone else his Divine Essence?
Nolan didn\'t believe he was such a generous soul to lend others his Divine Essence.
If there was one thing Nolan hated the most, it was people absorbing his Divine Essence away.
He just hated it to his bone, probably because he was never asked for permission.
Still, it irritated Nolan, and he believed the same was true for any Celestial Hier.
"Forget it. I\'ll just remain wet. Better to get used to it anyway..." Nolan mused to himself as he closed his eyes once more, preparing to doze off.
But suddenly, his eyes snapped open in shock, and he remained unmoving as if time had suddenly paused around him.
"What\'s wrong?" the system called out to him as Nolan\'s ears perked up and began buzzing.
"Can you hear that?" he asked.
[Hear what?] the system asked with a raised eyebrow, and in an instant, Nolan rose to his feet as his ears buzzed even more.
"I can hear a song..." he said to the system.
[I can\'t hear anything. And for the sake of it, my perception is three times better than yours. So you\'re most likely hallucinating ...] the system called out, but Nolan\'s buzzing ears wouldn\'t stop, and like a robot, Nolan walked towards the door and opened it up, finding himself in a long corridor.
[Hey, didn\'t you say you wouldn\'t go out to explore? How come you\'re outside now? Sneaky bastard! Hahaha!] the system teased Nolan, but his serious expression remained as his ears kept buzzing up.
In the next instant, Nolan began walking forth.
He didn\'t know where he was going; he didn\'t know what it was, but Nolan could feel it.
Something, something was calling out to him from an incredibly far distance. It was the sound of something being played it resonated through his entire existence, and soon, Nolan\'s small steps became a jog as he raced across the rooms silently.
With his power and control of his physical body, he was able to easily sneak through doors and move silently past guards without them ever knowing until finally, he arrived outside the palace, finding himself in the backyard.
The guards were lesser in number, and Nolan was able to easily move past them until eventually, he ran into a forest.
A forest with plants that bloomed with strange blue light, illuminating the space in an otherworldly beauty.
Slowly, Nolan could feel the voice closer now, and he began walking forward silently.
The closer he got, the more he could hear the play, and finally, he pushed open a shining blue leaf, and what he saw shocked him.
It was the scene of a figure sitting on a luminescent rock within a clear space in the forest.
Long blue hair poured down the entire ground around the figure, informing Nolan it was a female, but he was more focused on the thing on her shoulder.
It was nothing more than a mysterious multicolored violin, and it was gently playing the most incredible sound that Nolan had ever heard.
[How?] the system asked Nolan.
[She is clearly playing the violin, but I can\'t hear a single sound!] the system said in shock.
[Wait, that means... Don\'t tell me you were tracking that soundless thing down here...]
\'Yes.\' Nolan said silently, and in the next instant, he sat down on the bare ground, reclining against a tree, and he silently listened, not making a single motion.
It was an incredible piece, a piece that resonated deep within Nolan\'s soul so much, he felt as if someone was talking to him, telling him a story.
In the middle of the Light Star Forest, behind the Atlantis Palace, a figure sat on a dark rock, blue hair like a waterfall, and a violin on her shoulder.
The light in the forest seemed to all concentrate on her figure, painting an even more incredible scene around her.
And in the shadows, reclined a young man on a tree bark, silently listening without making a single noise, concealed by the shining leaves.
Was it hours, was it minutes, or mere seconds? Nolan had no idea, but he felt only a few seconds had passed as he listened silently until the violin eventually faded away. And silently, he remained under the cover of the leaves.
In his head, he played the message that was in his mind repeatedly until eventually, he got the message, and an incredible smile bloomed on his face as his eyes opened up.
But his body laid petrified when he sighted the figure whose face was barely inches from his.
It was the most beautiful face Nolan had ever seen in his life.
Large almond eyes with a captivating luminous quality, framed by long dark lashes, a perfectly symmetrical nose that was elegant yet subtle; full, well-defined lips with a natural rosy hue, and a flawlessly white complexion possessing a soft and radiant glow.
He had thought all Celestial Heirs could fit as models on earth, but the person before him seemed to make all of them look nothing but average.
