For the ordinary races of the Mother Continent, the Dragon Clan is the most mysterious race they know—even more mysterious than those ancient spirits worshipped like gods by the people on this continent (initially, Little Crow was worshipped as so ancient spirit). After all, even if ancient spirits are lofty, ordinary people have the chance to co into contact with their power or know what they look like. Moreover, there are also many legends about ancient spirits circulating on the continent, and the number of these legendary stories continues to increase—the most recent increase in the Southern Region is mainly about the miracles of the Crow God. In contrast, what ordinary races know about dragons is rely that these extraordinarily powerful beings reside sowhere and truly exist. No one knows what powers dragons actually possess, only that they are strong. No one knows where the Dragon Clan lives, except for so scholars who speculate that they reside in so Lost World unreachable by humans. The most recent appearance of dragons on the continent was hundreds of years ago, and even then, they were seen by mortals for less than an hour—a truly existing race with such low exposure naturally defies description in terms of mystery.
However, the appearance of Char seems specially designed to break the impression I ntioned above. This silver dragon... how to put it, peculiar in every aspect. Not to ntion his temperant and personality, just the fact that he managed to beco friends with all the naughty kids in town before he was about to leave is astonishing: Okay, let roughly go over the events of the past two days.
Spending two days in the Holy Capital, the various temperants and personalities displayed by this silver dragon were eye-opening. Although on the first day of Char’s arrival, the local civilians showed considerable unease about such a giant beast over ten ters long residing in the open area behind the town, by that evening, many civilians (mainly Half-Dragon People) discovered that this giant dragon wasn’t seemingly so difficult to interact with. On Char’s first day in town, he was warmly welcod by the local Half-Dragons, with Shajina and Sona personally arranging for their people to prepare a grand feast for this giant creature. Silver Dragon Char gladly accepted and very naturally invited his kin to dine together—this was the beginning of the harmonious relationship between this dragon and the Half-Dragon civilians. Initially, people assud dragons to be incredibly arrogant beings that even looking down their noses would find the atmosphere offensive. Still, no one expected Char to contentedly squat in the square, inviting all the Half-Dragons to eat together and even leaving fruit for nearby timid children (fruit is still rather scarce in the Holy Capital, the Half-Dragons practically gave all their fruit to the silver dragon, but as it turns out, Char is allergic to vitamin B2... Who knew, allergic to vitamin B2!). This self-proclaid gourt silver dragon even pulled out a large container of spices from the gigantic pocket he carried with him, teaching the Half-Dragons how to roast a whole cow dragon-style—though this plan ended in failure due to the lack of cattle in the Holy Capital. After this night, people learned that this enormous silver dragon—please don’t compare with Lin; not every dragon can grow to two or three hundred ters long—was even more amicable than expected, not only lacking the slightest hint of aloof arrogance but with an unbelievably good temperant. Of course, adults’ prejudices may not change easily, and the deep-seated concept of "dragons=noble" kept them at a distance from Char, but children are different. The most adaptable creatures in this world are kids, as evidenced by the big one at ho, Chen Xiaoxue, who cleared all the convenience stores in K City in two and a half days.
This led to quite a fascinating event: Char beca the most popular creature among the children of the Holy Capital in just two days.
Because unbelievably, this silver dragon likes children!
This is really hard to imagine. Char is over ten ters long, though not comparable to behemoths like the Dragon God and the Crow God, he’s still a colossal creature to ordinary people. Yet he actually quite enjoys human children, and now it’s unclear which audacious child started it, but sliding down Char’s wings has beco a popular children’s entertainnt activity in the Holy Capital...
So when Char was about to leave the Holy Capital, not only were there a group of Half-Dragons bidding him farewell but also every naughty kid in the entire town—seeing this scene shocked us all.
After the farewell crowd, led by several elders of the Holy Capital and Vanilla (who couldn’t run around with us this ti due to work commitnts), returned, only we and Silver Dragon Char were left on the outer road of the town. Oh, and a kite: a Thought Body Angel was also brought out. Though she couldn’t speak, we thought she might be useful if we’re to explore the Old Empire’s mysterious side relics. Recently, I’ve successfully gotten this Thought Body Angel to respond to simple commands, like sitting down or catching a thrown disk...
I looked at Char curiously, "You seem to like kids quite a bit?"
Char said in a muffled, deep voice, "Of course, don’t you find the young of any species fascinating? Especially when they’re snuggling around on you. My wife has always wanted a child, and with the Ancestor’s Spirit’s blessing this ti, I feel quite sure I’ll succeed..."
I couldn’t help but glance at Lin, thinking to myself that her Ancestor’s Spirit probably had nothing to do with blessing children or ensuring their safe delivery—itself hasn’t even dated anyone.
The Dragon God Girl’s face blushed, slightly annoyed, turning to Char, "That’s your own business!"
Even though the content is reprimanding, anything out of Lin’s mouth lacks any imposing tone (except when she transforms into her Dragon God Form), that soft, quivering tone sounds more like a wronged person rather than a threat. But even this seemingly powerless statent made Char shrink his neck, stooping apologetically, "I’m very sorry, Ancestor’s Spirit."
"Speaking of how easily you accepted this setting," I quirked my lips at the silver dragon, "she doesn’t look like an Ancestor’s Spirit at all."
"The Ancestor’s Spirit cannot be faked, not faked," Char cautiously glanced at Lin, who was currently only a fraction of his size, his huge eyes filled with respect, "Moreover, such a powerful Golden Two-headed Giant Dragon, its very existence is already the pinnacle beyond my imagination, and my soul identifies her as the source of all dragons, I trust my soul. As for Ancestor’s Spirit taking such a form, I understand it, both ancient spirits and gods have hundreds of forms, how can mortals know a god’s true appearance, right."
Regrettably, your Ancestor’s Spirit’s true form is nothing more than a timid, clumsy, frequently bullied eternal subordinate whose only rit is being the first to wash dishes after als and nothing else competent.
When Char talked about the Ancestor’s Spirit, he dared not show even the slightest disrespect, even though his revered target was currently busy picking at fingernails. Seeing such a scene, I could only marvel at the strength of the so-called "information disturbance effect." All true dragon species in the Multi-universe owe their birth to the information disturbances from the Star Domain Gods’ Dragon God Race, combined with the innate traits of dragon species; once they co into contact with the True Dragon God’s power, they imdiately beco like the current Char... Although this is only appropriate, after all, to them, the Star Domain Dragon God is akin to a creator.
Initially, Lin did not plan to reveal her Dragon God identity to Char. On the first day of contact with him, the Dragon God Girl only projected her spiritual power over, using the "dreaming technique" most professional scamrs excel in, which was already enough for her to gather information. But, how to say, this eternal subordinate deserving of her reputation is the second most foolish in the Dingdang Team, only slightly smarter than the captain, and is an incurably clumsy creature whose only mistake was—using her human form during the "dreaming."
And she only realized this point when the panicked Silver Dragon Char ca searching on the second day.
Entering a mortal’s spiritual world with divine power directly acts upon all levels of the latter’s consciousness, including both conscious and subconscious. When Char saw Lin in the illusion, he had no doubts about the "Ancestor’s Spirit" in human form due to subconscious control but imdiately recognized the other party as the "Ancestor’s Spirit." After Lin withdrew her divine power, Char, waking up, imdiately rembered where he’d seen the "human" girl in the illusion and faintly puzzled, he ca searching.
After realizing she made such a foolish mistake, Lin felt quite embarrassed and straightforwardly admitted her identity. To help Char, filled with confusion, understand what was going on completely, we took everyone to the mines, found a secluded place, and let Lin switch to the Dragon God Form. Then a certain silver dragon had no more questions: As ntioned earlier, the divine dragon power carried by the Dragon God has an unconditional command effect on dragon species of any world, no matter what Lin’s image is before us. Still, in Char’s eyes, this 1.6-ter tall shy girl now glows with brilliance and is even adorned with gold edges...
Then things went much more smoothly. With Lin personally giving the order for Char to take us to the Giant Dragon Kingdom, he naturally wouldn’t object, even feeling honored—especially since we also told him the whole story about the Crow God. Then, Xiao Xue and Lilina even introduced all seven aunts and uncles of the Crow God to him. Char led the way, feeling like he was taking a group of gods to visit his ho.
Even though he thought it was a bit strange having so many gods around.
The Dragon Clan is incredibly mysterious to humans. Aside from their extrely secluded lifestyle, there are reasons why the Giant Dragon Kingdom has eluded countless generations. Firstly, dragons appear on the continent only once every few hundred or even a thousand years; even then, they don’t reveal their ho to humans. Mortals can only guess the holand of dragons, and in this world, even creatures living in Lost Worlds theoretically should have been discovered. Yet, humans scoured the entire continent and all connected Lost Worlds, without finding a trace of the Giant Dragon Kingdom. Over ti, a theory spread among the continent: dragons live in a paradise created by the Ancient Gods, granted an exclusive privilege by the gods, allowing them to descend upon the Mortal World from their paradise, while mortals cannot enter the divine realms at will. From one perspective, this cliché legend isn’t far off: the Giant Dragon Kingdom was indeed created by god-like beings and only dragons could survive passage through its sole transmission channel.
The entrance to the Giant Dragon Kingdom closest to the Holy Capital is in the south, near the southern coastline, inside a... magma cave.
Via space transmission, we arrived in a flash at the location Char had indicated. It was a desolate, crimson land devoid of life, with the burning scent of sulfur in the air. The ground, dry and cracked, showed no sign of moisture, forming countless nearly bottomless crevices. Massive iron-rich red rocks scorched by the heat had partially lted, so covered with a smooth glazed mixture of glass and iron—clearly brought here by magma at so point in the past.
"This is a recognized Life Forbidden Zone on the continent!" Lilina clearly knew of this place but hadn’t expected it to have ties to the Giant Dragon Kingdom. Walking with us, she read from a booklet, "There are two places on the continent believed absolutely uninhabitable. One is the Pole in the Extre North, colder than the Earth’s poles, and the real danger is the dry ice beneath the ice that generates carbon dioxide cyclones hundreds of kiloters across—mortals entering perish imdiately. The other is this southern Hell Platform, where twenty-one different highly toxic gases fill the air. The annual average temperature ranges from 120 to 200 degrees Celsius, with eruptions reaching into the thousands. The Hell Platform is believed to be floating over an ancient magma ocean that has never cooled. The cracked surface is actually countless crowded lava floating islands. No one knows how it ford; it contradicts all known natural theories..." Lilina smirked mysteriously, pointing at the trembling ground below, "I’ve just realized why: there’s a massive channel to the Earth’s Core here, with a strong magic power reaction. It has regulating functions, stabilizing this geological wonder for centuries."
"The Old Empire’s Mysterious Side technology for planetary transformation..." Sandora rubbed her forehead, "I didn’t expect to find it on the Mother Continent. Luckily, it hasn’t broken down."
Indeed, thank goodness, or else we wouldn’t be eting Shajina and Sona either; this world would have seen countless extinctions. Piercing a hole to the Earth’s Core—few dare attempt such a feat!
"Hmm, we’re cold-blooded creatures and shouldn’t be in such a hot place..." Shajina and Sona frowned as they followed us, uncomfortable with the harsh environnt: the scales on their tails seed to lose luster from the heat and toxins. Normally, no one could survive here, not even half-dragon people known for their physical prowess. But the light gold mist surrounding Shajina and Sona made them different—this was their first usable divine blessing since accepting the Dragon God’s Favor, granting them dragon-wide poison immunity and temperature resistance. Such a blessing would be inadequate for jumping into a magma lake, but for now, they could endure.
"The entry to the Giant Dragon Kingdom is actually in such a place, no wonder people on Mother Continent have never found out where you live." Following Char, we reached the so-called transmission point to the Giant Dragon Kingdom. It was at the heart of the so-called Hell Platform, the most hostile environnt, a molten lava lake about three kiloters in radius surrounded by lava floating islands. Eyeing the rolling lava, Lin Xue rolled her eyes, "Even if they knew the point was here, I doubt anyone would dare co."
The edges of the molten lava lake had black crystal stone platforms floating on the lava, yet showed no signs of lting in the thousand-degree heat. Their swaying surfaces proved difficult to stand upon, forcing Char to float mid-air, loud winds from his wings accompanying his rough voice, "Most dragons prefer seclusion. We’re glad those noisy mortals on the Mother Continent can’t co. Personally, I enjoy liveliness. This is the first transmission point to the Giant Dragon Kingdom; there are two more in remote spots: one under the West Mist Sea, another in the Cloud Peak, sub-vacuum."
Xiao Xue chuckled at him, "You live in a No Man’s Land... oh, Dad, I’m sorry—"
Char, unaware of the term ’No Man’s Land,’ remained unreactive, intently observing the magma’s surging below. Layers of complex mysterious runes floated into view around him—genuine full-version Dragon Clan magic, far superior to the barely-more-than-a-three-defense-suit fog around Shajina and Sona. Even dragons, to pass through this gate safeguarding their kingdom, needed buffs for protection: "The transmission gate opens only when the magma rotates counterclockwise, each session lasting thirty minutes. I’ll lead the way; just follow and jump with ."
"Are we really jumping?" Shajina’s tail stiffened—a sign of extre tension. "It seems like we’ll die."
"Just hold onto Lin," Big Sister lightly smiled, "This place is nothing to us."
Just as Shajina was about to voice sothing, the bubbling magma lake in front suddenly rumbled, slowly changing its rotational direction. The light on Silver Dragon Char flared to its peak as he cried out, "Follow !" and dove straight into the magma.
What followed was a group of gleeful jumpers, with Xiao Xue leading the charge, followed by a dley of mischievous kids in varying jumping styles—so in back rolls, so in standing leaps, so in backflips, others kicked down by sisters, even I was dragged by the ear to jump together. It was quite a spectacle, stunning Shajina and Sona, never expecting magma lake jumping could be such a lively affair, right before they were blasted down by the Divine Clan Tiaozi Five.
The searing, viscous magma was blocked off by shields. Among the glaring brightness ahead, Char’s silhouette was unseen but his booming voice echoed, "Keep up, it gets hotter ahead! Watch boost defense! Racial Talent! Steely character, fearless of heat! Oh, this temperature! Sooo hot, losing a layer of skin every ti! Charge, nearing the destination whoa whoa whoa so hot I’m dying, these temperatures sll like grilled at, hang on, it’s practically a roast here! We made it!"
: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Okay, can soone tell if taking this guy down might level up four tis? (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, please visit Qidian (qidian) to vote with recomndations or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
