Chapter 1370: Chapter 115: The Dragon Not Cursed
In Long Yi’s view, this seemed more like indulgence.
At this moment, through Long Yi’s eyes, he could already see faint traces of Dragon Power seeping from the ground. Although minimal, it was sufficient to illustrate the issue. So, he continued to descend, and as the depth steadily increased, Long Er also kept issuing warnings, "We are getting closer and closer to the Divine Worms."
Finally, the rock layer vanished in front of them. A red glow filled their vision, and the source of the glow was none other than the swarming Divine Worms!
In front of the Divine Worms was an immensely large Eternal entity, with each edge spanning thousands of kilometers! It was still entirely golden, but the runes on this Eternal entity used to seal the Divine Worms were completely different; these runes were actually in dragon script. Thousands of Divine Worms engulfed that vast Eternal entity, their Divine Power bursting forth, trying to invade it. However, there was always a powerful energy barrier encircling the Eternal entity, preventing these Divine Worms from penetrating.
However, it appeared that the defensive energy was beginning to weaken, and it might soon be completely eroded.
"Glutton, it’s mealtime!" Long Yi said with a grin.
The Glutton burst out from within Long Yi’s body and, with a bang, transformed into countless small specks of light, which instantly dashed towards the Divine Worms. When the nearest Divine Worm came into contact with a speck of light, that speck immediately exploded into a burst of electrical arcs, completely shredding and devouring the Divine Worm. Then, the speck grew a bit larger and pounced on the next Divine Worm.
"God Eater! It’s a God Eater!" The Divine Worms frantically exchanged information, their instinctual fear of the God Eater making them immediately abandon the colossal Eternal entity and begin to scatter and flee. But how could their escape speed possibly surpass that of the Glutton?
"All worms, unite! We must fuse into one to confront him!" one Divine Worm bellowed.
"Get lost! You want my power?" the remaining Divine Worms cursed.
In the blink of an eye, the worms trying to fuse all their power and the cursing worms were devoured.
The efficiency of the Glutton was extremely high, and soon, all the worms had been completely devoured. The enlarged specks of light merged back into the main body of the Glutton, which now appeared slightly bigger—of course, once it digested all the energy of the Divine Worms, it would return to normal.
"These worms are actually from the upper plane; I knew it. That false god of the upper plane won’t settle down easily. She’s bound to cause me trouble." While Long Yi spoke, he watched as the Divine Souls, Divine Statuses, and Divine Consciousnesses began fusing with each other. Once they fused into a Divine Envoy, Long Yi immediately used his Divine Status to suppress it and could then hand it over to Simu.
"I can feel the God Decrees." Long Er said.
"You mean, there are God Decrees here too?" Long Yi asked, pointing at the Divine Envoy under his suppression.
"Yes, any formation of a Trinity calls down the God Decrees, even if it is an incomplete Trinity," Long Er said.
"But, Simu said she had already freed herself from the God Decrees. Logically, all her Avatars should have been freed as well."
"I’m not sure; my knowledge is insufficient to answer this, but I can feel that Simu is special."
Special?
That word alone was enough to describe much, but recalling the first time he met Simu—it was when she was a Divine Envoy sister. She was different from other Divine Envoys, displaying more intelligence and calmness. Moreover, her Eternal entity was hidden on an altar in the Crystal Demon Plane.
Which is to say, despite being divided into nearly a hundred thousand parts, there is still a hierarchy, right?
"So, what are you going to do?" Long Yi asked.
"I want to obtain that part of the God Decrees," Long Er said.
"Do you have a way?" Long Yi looked at the Divine Envoy and then at Long Er.
"Yes, I have a way."
Long Er approached the Divine Envoy, who, despite being suppressed by Long Yi’s Divine Status, still displayed fear of the God Decrees.
Long Er raised his hand and placed it on the head of the Divine Envoy. Soon, an incomplete mask flew out from the top of the Divine Envoy’s head.
"Define your existence," the incomplete mask said.
"I have no need to define my existence, for you are about to become my food," Long Er said.
"Content not understood, initiating search for Heavenly Kingdom’s directive commands," the incomplete mask said.
"Directive denied; now executing fusion command," Long Er held the incomplete mask in one hand, with incomprehensible text flowing in his palm, and after a brief flicker, the mask shattered into fragments, turning into a glow that merged into Long Er’s hand. Long Yi could see mysterious text flowing from his palm into the mask. Then his mask seemed to change slightly in appearance.
"How does it feel?" Long Yi asked.
"I have acquired new commands; now I can manipulate Divine Statuses more effectively," Long Er said.
Long Er’s affairs went smoothly, and Long Yi wasn’t worried at all since his attention was constantly focused on the enormous Eternal entity thousands of meters above.
The exterior of the Eternal entity was filled with energy, which was made up of Dragon Power.
Long Yi flew over, raised his hand, and first injected a surge of Dragon Power to express his goodwill. Soon, a surge of Dragon Power responded from the inside, indicating confusion. After that, Long Yi directly injected Giant Power, indicating to the inside that he was a Giant.
Shortly after, the gigantic Eternal entity slowly opened, and one Giant Dragon after another flew out from inside. Along with the Giant Dragons, there was also that suffocating, terrifying energy!
Although Long Yi had mentally prepared himself, he hadn’t expected at all that what was hidden here was such a group of dragons!
They weren’t affected by the curse at all!
Black Dragon, White Dragon, Red Dragon—together, there were only about a hundred dragons, but seeing the surging Dragon Power throughout their bodies, Long Yi was certain that the Giants’ curse had no effect on them at all!
Seeing Long Yi in front of them, these hundred dragons gradually transformed into human form, including both men and women, both young and old.
"So, you are the Pioneer of the Giants," an old man trembled as he approached, his eyes filled with joyful supplication. He was a White Dragon. Beside him, there were also a Black Dragon old man and a Red Dragon old man.
"Yes, I am the Pioneer of the Giants," Long Yi nodded and said.
"So, the Giants are preparing to return?" the Black Dragon old man asked excitedly.
"This... I am afraid I don’t know," Long Yi shrugged and said.
"Fair enough, after all, you are the Pioneer..." the eyes of the Red Dragon old man slightly dimmed with disappointment.
"Cough cough, don’t be like that, my old friend, after all, this is still good news," the Black Dragon old man said with a smile to the Red Dragon old man.
"Yes, yes, good news!" the Red Dragon old man gave Long Yi an apologetic smile.
"Then, I am very curious, why are you here?" Long Yi gestured towards the gigantic Eternal entity.
"This is a shelter built by a friend of ours to evade the curse," the White Dragon old man began to explain.
It turned out that during the war between the Dragon Clan and the Giants, some members of the Dragon Clan had very good private relations with the Giants. They not only refrained from attacking the Giants but also actively helped the Giants escape from the Dragon Clan’s sneak attacks. Although their actions were seen as treacherous by their own people inside the Dragon Clan, they themselves did not regret helping their friends. Towards the later stages of the war, before leaving, the Giants decided to cast an unprecedented large-scale curse. The Giants who had previously received help decided to help their Dragon Clan friends evade this curse. Thus, they built this shelter inside the planet that could isolate the curse. They also used special devices to make all sentient beings voluntarily stay away from here to guarantee their absolute safety. These hundred dragons that escaped the curse have been sleeping inside the shelter, waiting for their friends to come back and awaken them.
This situation continued until a few days ago.
A few days ago, a meteor suddenly appeared in the orbit of this planet and crashed directly into the sea. Later, it landed on the seabed’s rocky bed, merging with the rocks, and continued to rush towards this gigantic Eternal entity. When it reached here, the meteor exploded loudly, and tens of thousands of Eternal entities containing Divine Worms were released. The sudden change startled the hibernating dragons who then watched the Eternal entities open and the Divine Worms crawl out, using Divine Power to try to forcibly open their shelter. The Divine Power sustained the activity of the worms and also made them highly aggressive.
These dragons didn’t know what Divine Worms were, but they knew that anything trying to breach their shelter couldn’t be good.
Fortunately, these dragons inside the shelter had not been affected by the curse and retained very strong power, which had allowed them to hold on till now, but they were nearly at their limit. Long Yi’s arrival was incredibly timely; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"It seems that the imposter god from the higher Plane has acted faster than I thought," Long Yi said.
"Higher Plane? Impostor god?" A group of dragons looked at each other, not understanding what Long Yi was talking about.
"You probably don’t know yet, but at this moment, in the higher Plane, within Dragon Star, the one controlling the Golden Dragons is actually an impostor god. Or, we could call it, the Divine Worm," Long Yi explained.
Following that, Long Yi recounted the origins of the Divine Worm and the conclusions he and the Black Dragon Elder Slite, who had returned to Dragon Star, had postulated back then.
"Could it be that the initial command to attack the Giants was actually issued by the Divine Worm?" the three elder dragons guessed.
"Who knows, the gods were already mad back then," Long Yi said with a laugh.
"This, this is disrespectful to the gods," the Black Dragon elder said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Don’t worry, she said this herself; you can ask her when you go back," Long Yi reassured.
"She said this herself!?" the group of dragons all widened their eyes in shock; the meaning couldn’t be clearer! "Are you saying the god has come back?"
"To be precise, should it be considered reassembled? Or resurrected? Anyway, this god named Simu is now with me," Long Yi said.
"This is simply..." the group of dragons was momentarily choked up. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
