Regarding the first three strange nas, Elma found none matching the powerhouses in his mory, but the na Long Yi, that na was as loud as thunder to him!
"Long Yi? You’re saying his na is Long Yi?" Elma asked eagerly.
"Yes, his na is Long Yi," Long Yi said.
"Does he look like this?" Elma imdiately stretched out his hand, and mana coalesced into the image of Long Yi.
Long Yi glanced at it and said, "When I knew him, he was still a child, not so tall and strong, but his appearance hasn’t changed much, it should be him. Speaking of which, I just left him for three years, it feels like he has gotten even stronger." Long Yi boasted without hesitation.
So this was the root of everything! Elma felt his spirit suddenly burst forth, a sensation akin to a racing heartbeat. No wonder that Long Yi was so powerful! The real reason turned out to be this! From an obscure Naless to a powerhouse that even the Ancient Mage Tower would dread, the fundantal reason was here all along! It was because he had the help of such an Ascender!
"To be honest, this Long Yi is our biggest enemy right now," Elma said.
"What? Why?" Long Yi feigned ignorance, his heart almost bursting with joy.
"Alas!" Elma sighed deeply, seeming very troubled, "In fact, Long Yi and I were once friends, until one day, he changed. He said he wanted to use his power to control the entire Plane, that he was the most powerful being within the Plane, that no one could surpass him, and he would reign supre over the entire Plane!"
"Bullshit! I am the strongest being! He is just a re mortal! To speak such arrogant words!" Long Yi cursed loudly.
"Now that you say this, I believe it, because I have witnessed your strength with my own eyes. But back then, Long Yi’s power indeed seed unmatched. The Long Yi whose heart had turned evil tried to control the entire Plane, and naturally, we couldn’t allow it. After several battles, Long Yi directly turned against us, destroying large parts of my Ancient Mage Tower before leaving. He used his power to support two Empires, building them into incredibly powerful military entities. Perhaps soon, the entire Plane will fall into his hands."
"That little bastard! How dare he do such a thing! The power I gave him, I can take it back!" Long Yi, posing as Hayden, was furiously enraged and floated up, his body ablaze with the extres of mana!
However, the next mont, the fragnt of the Cosmic Stone above Hayden’s head suddenly dimd, and the once potent mana vanished instantly, causing Hayden to collapse onto the chair.
"Damn it! This weak body! Even though he is my direct descendant, his body is so frail. Could this be the Giants’ conspiracy?" Hayden said indignantly.
But Elma’s eyes nearly shone with light.
"My lord, I am willing to help you! I wish to help you ascend to the pinnacle of the entire Plane once again!" Elma said urgently.
"You? No, you can’t, you have beco Crazy Demons, your power has been restricted, and no matter how hard I try, Crazy Demons are just Crazy Demons, that’s sothing even the Giants couldn’t change back then," Hayden said.
"This..." Elma had thought the other party would show him a clear path forward, but instead, Hayden had negated his current state outright.
"If you want to have greater power, you must revert to your original body, and then my knowledge could transform you into a warrior powerful enough to match Long Yi."
Long Yi began to coax and persuade.
"But I am now a Crazy Demon, my body can’t be restored," Elma said.
"Who told you that?" Long Yi asked.
"..." Of course, this was Elma’s own guess, and it was also confird by Solis. As they had researched Crazy Demons together, they knew very well that once a body was completely infected with Crystal Poison, becoming a pure Crazy Demon, there was no life that could be restored.
But the person in front of him was no ordinary man! He was an Ascender! A legend who had lived from the era of the Giants to the present day! The one who had turned Long Yi into the Long Yi he was now!
Assuming all this was true...
At this mont, Elma imdiately cald down, having beco a Crazy Demon, what he did not lack was calm.
All these stories were told by Hayden alone, without any corroboration. Because it’s hard to find evidence for this tale, should he go and ask Long Yi? It would be truly odd if Long Yi directly addressed this matter!
"If possible, I would like to give it a try first," Zulal, who had been standing aside, suddenly spoke. He had heard the hesitation in Elma’s voice and knew what Elma was worried about. So, he decided to try first, as even if he failed, it would bring no loss to Ailma.
"Wait, it’s been so long since I’ve had a normal conversation that I hadn’t realized it, but it was Hayden who reminded —do you not trust ?" Long Yi asked.
"This... I think it’s not that Master Elma doesn’t trust you, but what you just described is truly beyond our expectations; it’s well beyond the scope of our knowledge," Zulal said hastily. Now wasn’t a good ti for Elma to respond, so his intervening seed to be no problem at all.
"If I were who I used to be, I would actually be quite happy to eradicate you all and then take care of Long Yi’s life myself. Unfortunately, my descendant’s strength is too weak, and I can’t increase his power in a short ti, otherwise, why would I need you?"
The disdain in Hayden’s eyes was evident to both Elma and Zulal. Suddenly, Elma realized sothing: "My lord, you can enhance our strength, but why can’t you enhance Hayden’s strength?"
"With your intelligence, it’s hard for to explain, but Hayden has been pleading with in my subconscious not to be enemies with you. Well, I might as well tell you. Now his body and my consciousness are completely linked, any rapid changes made to this body would disrupt the link. Hayden can only beco stronger by his own abilities while all I can do is pass on my knowledge to him so he can strive on his own. You, on the other hand, are just outsiders to —I can employ many thods left by the Giants to directly turn you into powerhouses! Of course, you can still choose not to believe , and I don’t care. After all, no one here is my match, and I’ll let Hayden grow here slowly. In a few years, he will beco the strongest in the Plane, and by then you will be of no use to ."
Long Yi spoke arrogantly and made it clear to Elma: you are only of use to now. It’s not who needs you, but you who need !
"What else!? What did you say? Strengthen a Crazy Demon Mage first? My child, are you so afraid of them? Otherwise, why do you keep speaking for them? With my power here, who dares to do anything to you?"
Long Yi began his solo performance of mutterings and self-direction.
"Exactly, that’s also a solution. If you could first strengthen a Crazy Demon Mage, that would alleviate our doubts. You also wouldn’t have to let that troubleso Long Yi live too long, right?" Zulal said eagerly.
"Ah! What a waste of ti! Alright, alright! Since you’re my last relative in this Plane, I’ll indulge you!" Long Yi perford the indulgence of an elder towards a child perfectly, as if he were suddenly possessed by the soul of a veteran actor.
"Co on, find a Crazy Demon Mage and the best laboratory, and I’ll show you how it’s done!"
Elma hadn’t expected things to go this smoothly. In truth, it would be a lie to say he wasn’t tempted, but such a phenonon was unheard of, and he dared not believe it without question. Now that there was a test subject, the matter was different. By observing the actions of this powerhouse, Elma might advance his understanding of Crazy Demons!
After agreeing, Long Yi imdiately switched his role to Hayden mode.
"I’m very sorry, Master. My ancestor, he’s a bit unstable," Long Yi said cautiously.
Elma imdiately understood that the consciousness of that powerhouse had fully retreated.
"Haha, no problem. If I had such imnse power, my temperant might be even more unstable," Elma said.
"Even so, I am still very sorry. But please believe , he really is very powerful. Deep within my consciousness, he has shown the splendid achievents in his mories. Those magnificent feats are truly hard to believe!" Long Yi used his sincere acting skills to further enhance the authenticity and attraction.
"Yes, I believe you," Elma said kindly.
No, in fact, Elma did not believe him. Elma, by nature, was skeptical, especially after turning into a Crazy Demon; he was even harder to convince. He might agree with everything you say, but the mont it related to his personal interests, he would imdiately cool down.
Nevertheless, the so-called Ascender had agreed to the experint, so everything would naturally proceed based on the experintal results.
Elma picked a Black Crystal Mage for Long Yi. He did not choose a regular Crazy Demon because he wanted to see just how capable this purported Ascender really was.
In the laboratory, all sorts of equipnt were ready to go. Elma had never seen such devices used together. Particularly, he was utterly puzzled about what the enormous tank at the end was for.
Then Hayden carefully entered the laboratory, and Elma, watching from behind, nodded at Hayden. Long Yi imdiately activated the Cosmic Stone, entering Ascender mode.
After that, Long Yi glanced around with a showy look, sighed, and said, "What a waste of ti."
Long Yi beckoned the Black Crystal Mage over, who imdiately approached. Glancing at him, Long Yi tapped on the Dragon Scale armor and said, "Dragon Scale armor? What good is this piece of junk?" The spot where Long Yi’s finger touched the armor imdiately peeled away, and the whole Dragon Scale armor reverted to a piece of Dragon Scale in Long Yi’s hand.
Then Long Yi tossed the scale aside, but suddenly turned around: "Oh, that’s right, the Dragon Scale armor needs the assistance of Dragon Breath. You’ll tell you have a dragon, right?"
Elma was taken aback, then nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I have a dragon." (To be continued. If you like this work, welco to Qidian (qidian) to cast your recomndation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
