Chapter 1601: Chapter 1214: Taking the Initiative to Attack
During their time in the Human Realm, the Dragon Clan spent thousands of years and countless cycles of reincarnation at a great cost. But all they achieved was a slight loosening of the curse, never once experiencing the pleasure of the curse being lifted while they were alive. Now, reborn once again, they found not only that the curse had been lifted, but even the unknown oppressive force that had been weighing down on them was gone.
"All of you!" Long Yi, hovering in the air, called out, immediately drawing the attention of all the White Dragons.
"I am Long Yi, and I think there are not many among you who do not recognize me," Long Yi said.
All the White Dragons recognized Long Yi, because during the period of full-scale war with the Dragon Clan in the Human Realm, Long Yi’s Giant identity had been completely exposed. Of course, there were also some White Dragons who had been slumbering in a Dragon Soul state and did not recognize Long Yi, but after exchanging information with their kin, they understood as well.
"Actually, I had planned to awaken you after peace in this Plane was restored, but some things have occurred that I cannot resolve alone. Therefore, I, Long Yi, earnestly request your help here."
The White Dragons looked at each other, unaware of what had happened because they had just awakened, basking in the joy of being reborn in bodies free of the curse.
"Then, Lord Long Yi, can you tell us what happened?" A White Dragon transformed into an old man and asked with confusion. Long Yi still remembered this Elder, he was an Elder of the White Dragon Clan, with whom he had dealt during his time in the Human Realm. The Elder had perished in the final battle, but his soul and memories had been preserved.
"Yes, that is exactly what I’m going to tell you all about. This matter is related to the Creator God Simu of our universe, and the whole story starts from my first encounter with the Divine Worm."
In order to seek the help of the White Dragons, Long Yi had already organized the memory clips of his past interactions with the Worms into a simple and understandable movie, and now, he shared it with every White Dragon in the contract as if showing a film. Of course, Elsa and the future could see it too. Although Selena couldn’t see it herself, she was able to see this film with the help of Elsa.
The entire film lasted half an hour. For that whole half-hour, everyone present, each dragon, remained still in place, waiting for the film to finish.
Half an hour passed, and the White Dragons gradually woke up. From their eyes, Long Yi could see shock.
"So, during the time we were trapped in the Human Realm, the whole universe had already become like this," said the White Dragon Elder with a sense of wonder.
"Yes, I was shocked too when I first arrived in this Plane," Long Yi also said with a smile.
The White Dragon Elder nodded, then thought for a bit, and turned back to look at the majority of the White Dragons still in shock, and spoke, "Our homeland, Dragon Star, has been occupied by false gods. Whether it is to help your purpose or to take back our homeland, it is our duty to join the battle. However, I hope to be granted more time. After all, we have been cursed for too long, we’ve almost forgotten how to fight."
Long Yi smiled and said, "Having the Dragon Clan’s aid is my honor. However, according to my estimate, the war will not start immediately. You all can rest on this planet and adapt to the environment, and look around."
At this point, Long Yi paused, then said to each dragon in the contract, "To be honest, the reason I resurrected all of you is that I hoped to get your help. The enemy’s strength is too much for me to handle alone, but it’s merely a request, not a compulsion. I will not threaten you with a curse to assist me. Brothers and sisters of the Dragon Clan, you are free to decide whether or not to help me. Regardless, I will understand and appreciate any decision you make."
The White Dragons were stunned, obviously, they had never heard anything like this before. As members of the Dragon Clan, their way of life was relatively simple, and they had never had such egalitarian conversations. This was their first time hearing a request phrased like this. For a moment, they didn’t quite know how to respond.
"Lord Long Yi, you take it too seriously. In fact, even if it were just us, if we knew what had become of our homeland Dragon Star, we would also choose to fight desperately to take back Dragon Star. And now, with your help, our chances of winning are even greater. So, you need not worry about our loyalty. After all, during the war in the past, our White Dragon Clan stood on the side of the Giants, and now, even less likely to change," the White Dragon Elder spoke, putting Long Yi’s mind at ease.
The crowd left, and the White Dragons would settle here.
Shortly after Long Yi and his group left, another group of dragons tore through space and appeared nearby.
It was the fleeing group of dragons led by the Black Dragon Elder Slite.
Long Yi told Slite that he had just resurrected a group of White Dragons who had once been trapped in the Human Realm. If Slite wished, he could lead the fleeing dragons to join this group of White Dragons as potential comrades-in-arms in the future. Fostering understanding and building trust was most important.
