"It suddenly started to rain..."
"This is!"
The young man lifted his head and also hadn’t expected that he would encounter such an enormous creature again in the Etheric Abyss.
It had grown even larger, as if it were a small mountain peak before, now it was truly the size of a main peak.
It couldn’t even land on the ground; the earth here simply couldn’t bear its enormous weight and would collapse under it, forcing it to constantly fly in mid-air, expending its own strength.
On its body... were so wounds, with scales tinged with fresh blood, possessing a kind of beauty reminiscent of blood jade.
Clearly, it had been through a fierce battle...
After many years, the young man appeared sowhat restrained, yet no longer as panicked as at the beginning.
He bowed slightly and said, "Hello, unknown being, we et again."
The Dragon, unconcerned.
It was healing its wounds with its own abilities.
Nothing was more precious than its own life.
The ant spoke for itself: "It’s fortunate that I didn’t die and lose my family this ti... The previous tis, I truly made a fool of myself in front of you."
The Dragon, unconcerned.
Not dying, that was of course the best outco.
But, what did it have to do with ?
"Since I no longer have a family, what I have instead are so like-minded companions. I don’t feel lonely or isolated."
He paused for a mont: "I ca here, actually, to look for so Super Spirit Shield tal..."
"After my father disappeared, the key was lost. A portion of ’Its’ power might have appeared in our world; we need to make so preparations in advance..."
The Dragon, unconcerned.
Fighting against the idealistic gravity of this place, it was actually quite fatigued.
But it had to be here, avoiding the pursuit of so enemies while quickly healing its own wounds.
It even pondered if it should use so anchoring thods to reduce its own expenditure?
After all, most of the enormous creatures in the Etheric Abyss used anchoring to alleviate their pressure.
However, regrettably, as a Dragon that specialized in physical strength, it didn’t possess such fanciful abilities.
As for complex operations like "anchoring," it was completely clueless.
Thinking this, it had no choice but to abandon the idea...
It wasn’t so bad to listen to this ant tell its story.
"I’ve already found so Super Spirit Shield tal... Seeing you again is indeed an honor, thank you for your past assistance..."
"But this ti I don’t need your help, I’ve already completed my own task."
"It took quite a long ti, though! The other companions don’t possess such Talent and can’t co to the Etheric Abyss; I had to struggle all alone. Fortunately, I found it!"
The young man took pieces of black tal out of his backpack with both hands, his face brimming with an optimistic smile.
This backpack was, of course, no ordinary backpack, but a Dinsion Space bag, containing possibly hundreds of kilograms of black tal.
"With these things, we might be able to gain a small advantage in the future struggles."
The Dragon opened its mouth, such trash also considered a treasure?
It let out a silent scoff.
Wasn’t this just commonplace— trash?
For reasons unknown, it exhaled a breath of foul air towards the sky.
Suddenly, the skies changed color, a dark cloud completely dispersed. Countless creatures woke in alarm at this breath and scattered wildly in fright, appearing like a dense flock of blood birds. The creatures started to slaughter each other; vast torrents of bloody rain fell to the ground.
In this light, drizzling rain, a hint of the scent of blood arose.
The young man seed to understand its aning and found a relatively dry cave to crawl into: "Although it may not be a treasure to you, to us humans the value of Super Spiritual Shielding Gold is high, being able to shield even a small amount of its power is better than none at all..."
"If made into accessories, only a few noble people could afford to wear them, right? A necklace for millions?"
"Our world is quite laughable, with the disparity between the rich and the poor being vast, while everyone knows that a large gap isn’t good, they are powerless to change it. Isn’t this a very interesting social phenonon?"
He didn’t know why he was saying all this.
Perhaps the pressure was too great; at an age when he should be in school, he was shouldering responsibilities he shouldn’t have to bear.
Fortunately, he was inherently intelligent, his wisdom surpassing the average, and too many experiences always lead to precociousness.
The young man finally said, "It will co out eventually, one shouldn’t harbor any illusions of luck."
"This might also be the last ti I see you... After all, every ti I co to the Etheric Abyss, there’s a chance of being exposed, and I do encounter so dangers."
"The keys my father lost have still not been found, and may never be found... We now believe that the key is illusory, hidden deep inside the human heart. But I don’t resent my father, he endured the pain for a very, very long ti..."
"He did the best a human could."
"It is a type that we currently cannot defeat... but as long as one is alive, there’s always a chance."
"Human beings are indeed very weak creatures, but the greatest strength of humanity lies in the fact that in continuous succession, there will always be outstanding individuals... What we need to do now is to keep that tiny hope going. We are waiting for an opportunity."
The Dragon’s eyes revealed a cold light.
It laughed mockingly once more.
Dragons seize the day!
"Boom!"
After a loud noise.
The mountain peak ahead suddenly collapsed, throwing up a huge cloud of dust.
The Dragon seed to be flaunting its power.
But at the core of the collapsed mountain, a piece of silver-white tal flew out.
It was only the size of a basketball, but it weighed over a hundred kilograms.
By chance, it rolled to the young man’s feet.
"Ah, is this... Super Spiritual Shielding Gold?! Are you giving this to ?" The young man was ecstatic, trembling with joy.
The shielding effect of this silver-white tal was far stronger than the black tal he had in his hands!
The two were treasures of a completely different scale.
In other words, the material from an entire planet might only amount to this one piece of "Super Spiritual Shielding Gold!"
The Dragon remained indifferent.
Dragons need not the gratitude of ants.
The Dragon had simply been in a bad mood after getting injured and had destroyed a mountain.
As for that piece of silver-white tal, it was rely one among many rocks to be discarded.
It didn’t care who picked it up.
"I’m truly grateful to you, you’ve helped many tis... I cannot involve you any further, nor can you help anymore."
The Dragon remained indifferent.
The Dragon would help whoever it chose to.
The Dragon had road the Etheric Abyss for so long, not rely wreaking havoc but occasionally showing compassion to so timid and interesting ants.
What does the destruction of a mountain have to do with you?
The young man stood up, shook his body, and brushed the dust onto the ground.
His spirit appeared noticeably more lifted than at the beginning.
"Who is it? It is a very powerful enemy; I can’t imagine how strong it actually is. Just the rest hint of its projected power has already killed my parents. And it’s extrely sensitive... a single word might provoke its attack."
"I’m leaving, it might take a lifeti to understand, to overco it."
"It is the enemy of our entire world. Goodbye, I hope there’s a chance to see you again."
A familiar white light flashed, and the young man disappeared once more.
This ti, he didn’t cry, but his eyes held a trace of solemnity.
This trace of solemnity transford into a heavy pressure, weighing on the heart, making it hard to breathe.
...
It was a pressure heavier than death; death was already the ultimate darkness, yet now, a darkness even graver had erged.
The Dragon didn’t quite understand what this even graver darkness was.
But it rembered the human’s codena—"Blue Gold."
