Chapter 733: Chapter 581: Civil War on Dragon Island
Just now, Asus’s friend on Dragon Island urgently relayed a startling piece of news to Asus.
When Long Yi heard that the Life Replication Machine on Dragon Island had been damaged, he immediately understood why the troops of Gulelie retreated so hurriedly.
Upon the death of the Dragon Clan, their souls would be housed in the Sky-top Library and would not truly perish. However, if they wished to resurrect, the Life Replication Machine would be necessary. The simple operating mode of the giant’s equipment made it easy for the Dragon Clan to use the Life Replication Machine, but they had no way to build a new one!
"Pursue! This time, we pursue in victory!"
Attack Dragon Island!
The Dragon Knights never thought or dared to imagine such a situation in their lifetime. Not long ago, Dragon Island was considered a holy place in the hearts of all Dragon Knights. And now, was Long Yi actually leading them to attack Dragon Island?
This was way too thrilling!
Nearly every Dragon Knight, eyes reddened and howling, excited by the turn of the tables as they, who had long been oppressed by the Dragon Clan, now counterattacked Dragon Island! How could they not be exhilarated!
Thus, a scenario beyond anyone’s imagination appeared on the battlefield. The Dragon Clan army, originally the invader, was fleeing upfront, while Long Yi, who originally played a passive defensive role, was relentlessly pursuing them!
At this moment, Long Yi truly experienced the formidable power of the golem.
These giant golems were significantly faster than the Dragon Clan even in mid-air. They could easily catch up with the Dragon Clan army ahead of them, and in the pursuit, no matter if it was a two-headed dragon or the gargantuan dragon-headed creature that lagged behind, they all were directly smashed by the golems!
However, Gulelie was not in the mood to pay attention to these things, as the destruction of the Life Replication Machine meant that regardless of the outcome of the war, the Dragon Clan had lost. If they did not enter hibernation, then two thousand years later, only Gulelie and Asus would remain in the Human Realm among the Dragon Clan! Yet, what difference was there between hibernation and death?
Gulelie’s mood was terrible at the moment, and for the first time, he felt that he had no countermeasures left.
Fight? Long Yi had the support of the golems! And this time, death meant no resurrection!
How did it end up like this! How did the situation turn into this!
That damn Long Yi! That damn giant!
Gulelie’s resentment had no outlet. He instinctively blamed Long Yi and the giant for all of this. However, he was aware that in reality, this matter had nothing to do with Long Yi.
After all, it wasn’t Long Yi who instigated this battle.
Could it be that my choices were truly wrong?
Watching as the golems relentlessly hunted down one two-headed black dragon after another, causing them to crash from the sky. When they still had the Life Replication Machine, Gulelie never felt anything about the death of the Dragon Clan as their dragon souls could still reincarnate no matter how they died. But now, when the means of reincarnation vanished, Gulelie was truly frightened.
At that moment, he suddenly thought of a sentence Asus used to say to him.
"Gulelie! You are personally sending the Dragon Clan down a path of no return!"
Back then, Gulelie hadn’t thought that far ahead, but now, he understood the meaning behind Asus’s words.
Gulelie and all the councilors simultaneously cast spells, and every two-headed black dragon, along with the gargantuan dragon-headed creature, infused their mana. Suddenly, the flight speed of Gulelie’s army greatly increased. Correspondingly, the speed of the golems slowed down.
It was not that the golems couldn’t catch up to them, but Long Yi signaled the Darkness Saintess to stop the pursuit.
Because he saw the worried look on Asus’s face.
Throughout this journey, Asus’s complexion had been extremely poor. The usually calm Asus had never lost composure like this. Regardless of the Dragon Clan wars or anything else, Asus had never been overly worried about anything. In Asus’s view, the Dragon Clan’s wars and deaths were not a problem at all, all because of the Life Replication Machine. Even if Gulelie prevented the dragon souls from resurrecting now, they could still resurrect after the war ended.
But now, the Life Replication Machine had been destroyed! This meant that the Dragon Clan had lost all their future!
"Are you alright, Asus?"
Long Yi came to Asus and asked. On Bajie’s broad back, the Dragon Clan councilors were all surrounding Asus. Not only Asus, but everyone’s expressions were also not good, after all, the Life Replication Machine was tied to the life-and-death survival of the entire Dragon Clan.
"Lord Long Yi...can you... fix the Life Replication Machine..." Asus asked, his tone almost begging.
Upon hearing Asus ask this, every councilor lifted their heads, their eyes full of expectation.
That’s right, after all, there was a giant here! And wasn’t that Life Replication Machine a device created by the giants!
Looking at Asus’s eyes, Long Yi couldn’t help but smile wryly and said, "I really cannot make any promises about this, you know, I am only a Pioneer, my knowledge and power are sealed. If I truly possessed the legendary powers of the giants, your curses would have been lifted long ago, and the need for the Life Replication Machine would have no longer existed."
Asus’s gaze dimmed, and the surrounding councilors also hung their heads. Long Yi could see, the faces of these elderly dragons were all filled with panic.
"However, I promise all of you, when this is all over, I will do my best to help you find a way to lift the curse. Even if the power cannot be restored for now, the ability to procreate is indeed of paramount importance among them! Being a giant, my life is relatively long, and the Dragon Clan also has a long life, in this long life, I will eventually think of some methods," Long Yi said.
"Really!"
Asus had hope again.
At this point, Asus really had no expectations, the Dragon Clan’s curse and the loss of power were secondary. But the loss of the ability to procreate was the most terrifying, although they could constantly reincarnate through the Life Replication Machine, this was not the journey a life should have!
"Yes, I promise you! I will do my best to help you all!" Long Yi said.
"Thank you! Lord Long Yi!"
Asus was so moved that he tightly gripped Long Yi’s hand as tears rolled down his cheeks.
Long Yi had assumed that their Legion, upon arriving at Dragon Island, would necessarily meet resistance from the Dragon Clan.
However, once everyone and dragons arrived here, they saw raging flames engulfing the sky!
The Double-headed Black Dragon, the colossal dragon head, and even the Floating Island in the sky were all under incessant attacks. Shockingly, their targets were not Long Yi and his comrades, but the Dragon Clan on Dragon Island!
No!
Unbelievable!
At that moment, the indescribable aura of death was shrouding Dragon Island. Unbelievably, the aura was emanating from the Ghost Dragons and Corpse Dragons!
In that scene, Dragon Island was apparently taken over by Corpse Dragons and Ghost Dragons!
Countless Dragon Clan members were fighting the Ghost Dragons and Corpse Dragons, and innumerable Dragon Clan members had lost their lives, their Dragon Souls vanished, turned into Corpse Dragons!
"What we can see for now... already... exceeds one million..."
Wesley said painfully.
"Gulelie!!!"
A furious Asus charged forward, delivering a ferocious punch to Gulelie’s face in mid-air. Before Gulelie could be flung off, Asus caught hold of his clothes.
"What’s going on! What on earth is happening!" Asus roared angrily.
"I don’t know... I genuinely don’t know..." Gulelie was utterly dumbfounded.
At their arrival, they were not greeted by Dragon Clan guards, but mutated Corpse Dragons and Ghost Dragons!
What’s more, nearly all of Dragon Island was now teeming with these horrifying creatures!
"Hehehe... Gulelie, surprise, I’m back again!"
A deep and hoarse voice echoed, and all Ghost Dragons ceased their attacks. Then, amidst bone-chilling cold and a rush of death, a Ghost Dragon, larger than Bajie, rose slowly into the air. Being a semi-energy creature, it didn’t need to flap its wings but floated in mid-air, relying on its energy.
"Who are you!"
Gulelie growled in rage, his body pulsating with Mana! Obviously, the mammoth Ghost Dragon confronting him was the mastermind behind the devastating transformation of Dragon Island!
"Unbelievable... I’ve changed so dramatically, and you can’t even recognize me?"
Raz chuckled ominously.
"Who exactly are you!"
Surrounded by an aura of lightning, Gulelie struck out with an immeasurably powerful bolt of thunder. A Corpse Dragon abruptly charged forward, taking the assault on itself. When the bolt of thunder hit, the Corpse Dragon fell plummeting to the ground, torn to pieces.
"Oh Gulelie, do you remember a man who once rode on my back, battling in the human arenas, vanquishing nearly all rivals, and revered by all as the strongest Dragon Knight? Do you remember that genius Dragon Knight you aspired to kill under your so-called Human Rebalancing Plan? Do you remember how I pleaded with you to spare the life of my Dragon Knight and abandon your foolish Rebalancing Plan?"
"You are... Raz!"
Before Raz could finish, Gulelie had already screamed in shock.
Of course, he remembered. Back then, both Raz and his Dragon Knight were exceptional warriors. Born stronger than his fellow dragons, Raz had a Dragon Knight who was a genius amongst geniuses. When they embarked on wars together, they quickly became the fiercest warriors across the continent!
However, it was absolutely impermissible!
What Gulelie needed were humans who were always at war! He could never tolerate the existence of a genius!
Thus, he secretly executed Raz’s Dragon Knight and furiously threw Raz into the Burial Ground!
"You... weren’t you supposed to be in the Burial Ground? How come..."
Gulelie hadn’t even imagined that the Burial Ground, built by giants, could be breached one day. It was said to be an inescapable prison, even for the most violent creatures created by the giants!
"Hahaha! You didn’t expect it, did you! You didn’t expect that I, who had been trapped inside the Burial Ground, would see the light of day again! You didn’t expect that the pitiful dragon you knew would be even more powerful than you, did you!"
Raz’s body suddenly swelled up once again!
"You son of a bitch, you gave me your word, yet soon after, my Dragon Knight, right before my eyes, met such a tragic death! Yes, he died at my own hands! And your so-called attack plan was devised by none other than you! It wasn’t until my Dragon Knight cried out my name in his dying breath that I realized it was him! From then on, I knew that you, Gulelie, were my eternal enemy! As long as I live, I swear revenge on you! The first time I failed to kill you, you threw me into the Burial Ground! But I didn’t die! The wrath of vengeance made me stronger! Many Dragons that you had thrown into the Burial Ground, like me, had suffered a similar fate! We joined forces, waiting for the day we could take our revenge!"
"Nonsense!"
Gulelie roared, interrupting Raz. (To be continued. If you like this story, feel free to vote up and subscribe to it at qidian.com. Your support is our greatest strength. Mobile users can now access m.qidian.com.)
