Chapter 722: Chapter 724: Perfect Deicide
“Ding dāng dāng~~~~~~~”
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out, like a metallic object, which the violent sand had slapped onto Bai Qi’s body, and then rolled down in front of Zhu Minglang.
Zhu Minglang glanced at it and discovered that it was a ring—white and shiny, so clean that not a speck of dust clung to it, and, astonishingly, it was unscathed despite the fierce apocalyptic sandstorm!
It was the Dragon Ring!
Zhu Minglang instinctively lifted his head, his gaze piercing through the hazy blood-red sky, and he saw the Heaven Dust Dragon radiating a milky white brilliance. These rays shone down like divine beams from the sky, forming a white curtain that shielded the onslaught of the Mad God’s Sand.
However, the body of the Heaven Dust Dragon was still enveloped in a layer of strange dark material, like black chains that bound its dragon radiance, preventing it from releasing all the light of the White Dragon within its body.
...
Zhu Minglang looked down at the Dragon Ring. It was emanating the same dark brilliance as the material that locked down the Heaven Dust Dragon.
Zhu Minglang immediately understood, and hastily slid the Dragon Ring onto his own hand!
“Heaven Dust Dragon God, save the people!!”
Zhu Minglang had no time to think further, as he immediately shouted toward the Heaven Dust Dragon.
The dark chains binding the Heaven Dust Dragon dissipated thoroughly; it immediately withdrew the Frost of the Ice Sky and began to control the sprawling Cloud Mountain mists to drift toward the Imperial City!
The cloud barrier of the Dragon Country, formed from ten-thousand-year-old ice clouds, now fell like a rampart around the Five Royal Palaces of the Imperial City, erecting towering ice cloud walls.
The body of the Heaven Dust Dragon stretched out, and it suddenly flew down towards Zhu Minglang’s location, its mountainous frame imposing an overwhelming sense of pressure.
If the wisdom of the Heaven Dust Dragon was clear, its power would likely be no less than that of the Sparrow Wolf God; it’s just a pity that its awakening came a bit too late, as over half of the Imperial City’s population had already met with tragic deaths.
“Huo~~~~~~~~~~~~”
The Heaven Dust Dragon circled above Zhu Minglang’s head, though it was unclear what it intended to do. Zhu Minglang wanted to drive it to protect the Dripping Water Imperial City, to safeguard Zhu Gate, but the Heaven Dust Dragon did not heed Zhu Minglang’s commands, merely circling above him…
There was still hope!
That meant if he managed to kill the Sparrow Wolf God and could control the Heaven Dust Dragon to protect the Imperial City in time, it wouldn’t have to face annihilation; in fact, if handled properly, this battle against the god could end without a single casualty!
It was possible to achieve a complete victory!
However, the Heaven Dust Dragon’s behavior at this moment was quite peculiar—how could he gain full control over it?
“Young master.”

“Young master!”
“Wake up…”
A gentle voice echoed by Zhu Minglang’s ear. He was still immersed in the disaster of the Mad God, and even if he knew it was all just the Realm of Foresight, the sight of Bai Qi and the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon using their bodies to protect him still filled Zhu Minglang with sorrow and pain.
Indeed, he hadn’t done well enough. He hadn’t protected them, and he had made them suffer this hardship instead.
“My lord, do you remember what I told you?” Li Xinghua’s voice echoed in his ears once again.
“No matter what happens, maintain a calm heart,” Zhu Minglang repeated the phrase.
After he spoke, everything before Zhu Minglang’s eyes suddenly dissipated. He had been trapped in a nightmare from which he couldn’t wake, but as he uttered those words, his mind cleared, and his soul seemed to peel away from the Realm of Foresight, returning to his body lying on the bed.
Zhu Minglang gasped for breath, his forehead and body drenched in sweat, soaking all his clothes.
“My lord, you were too absorbed. You could have gotten lost inside,” Li Xinghua said.
“Sorry for worrying you,” Zhu Minglang said, glancing around to find himself in the warm bed, behind the curtains was the quiet courtyard where bunches of frost-stricken lily of the valley flowers grew.
“It’s good that you’ve come to your senses, my lord. The clues to fate we’ve obtained are already quite complete. However, even in death, the Sparrow Wolf God will have countless people buried with him. I’m afraid we won’t be able to stop this kind of power… So no matter what we do, many, many people will still die,” Li Xinghua said.
“I have a way to solve it, the key lies with the Heaven Dust Dragon,” Zhu Minglang remembered the last scene before he left the Realm of Foresight.
Although the final actions of the Heaven Dust Dragon puzzled Zhu Minglang, it did indeed use the Frost of the Cloud Dragon Country to protect the Imperial City. If they could get the Heaven Dust Dragon’s help earlier, even if the Sparrow Wolf God decided to completely wreak havoc in the end, they could still save the Imperial City from annihilation!
“If we obtain the Dragon Ring first, it will break the original trajectory of fate, and the outcome may not be what we experienced. The Sparrow Wolf God, not having obtained the Dragon Ring, may not show up. He might wait another two days, until the Ancestral Dragon City-State is buried, then come here to absorb the remaining kin from the Temple of the Sparrow Wolf God to alleviate the blood poison in his body…” Li Xinghua said.
“So we can cooperate with Zhao Chang, get him to help us, and lead the Sparrow Wolf God to believe that he has obtained the Dragon Ring, letting him bring the Cloud Dragon Country down upon Zhu Gate. Everything will be as it just happened, except, when I kill the Sparrow Wolf God, the Heaven Dust Dragon will also descend with icy clouds to protect the Imperial City and its citizens,” Zhu Minglang said.
Li Xinghua thought for a moment and nodded.
Doing this wouldn’t disrupt the path they’d taken through the Realm of Foresight!
This plan was feasible—after all, they had already achieved god-killing in the foresight they’d just had!
The key depended on Zhao Chang!
If he was willing to cooperate fully, this time they could ensure that most people survived and perfectly slay the Tianshu God!
Having witnessed life and death partings, and seeing so many people reduced to piles of bones, Li Xinghua did not want to see that again!
…
The Ancestral Dragon City-State was still brightly lit after nightfall as people subconsciously felt that darkness and evil creatures were afraid of light, but this actually had little effect on them.
The quicksand was like a demon that reached the skies, swallowing the Ancestral Dragon City-State whole, bit by bit.
Few could sleep peacefully, uncertain whether they would see the dawn, as an overpowering fear and dread enveloped everyone’s heart. The new Divine Territory, the encroaching night, rule by the Evil God—all came too suddenly for anyone to adjust.
In the not-so-long history of the Supreme Court, people had always thought they understood nature’s rules, the temperament of the heavens, and progressively evolved from mortals towards becoming holy immortals—metamorphosing, defying fate, crossing tribulations, and ascending…
But now, the people of the Supreme Court realized they knew nothing about the world!
They were like midsummer night moths in a forest, never having seen the daybreak nor the winter frost, unaware of the changing seasons, and even believing the tiny forest was the entire world.
