Chapter 512 Lu Yu: The Ancient Dragon is bound to be born, why can't it be me?
After the appearance of this flesh-and-blood dragon formed from flesh and blood in the dream, boiling life force began to accumulate and merge, and then ignited into a raging flame. Thousands of bright red tentacles spread throughout the dream world, constantly writhing and intertwining. The overflowing and boiling life force formed a bright red curtain of fire that permeated the world.
But what burned was not flame, but endless blood and flesh, like countless madmen dancing and singing, and in a trance, one could hear the murmurs of a crazy, chaotic, unknown language:
"Blood and flesh... the madness will never be extinguished..."
"Life is eternal... but all things are immortal..."
"The Immortal Dragon... The Undying Dragon... The Dragon of Mad Fire..."
At the center of the fire curtain, a ball of red to black, like a "sun," burned continuously, spreading mysterious factors and carrying a frenzied life force that began to erode the Nightmare Beast.
Flesh and tentacles began to grow on their illusory bodies, emitting terrified howls, and even the Nightmare Sea began to grow flesh and blood, turning it crimson.
The appearance of this flesh-and-blood dragon summoned another great being.
Facing the battlefield opened up by three great beings.
He has three options.
First, join the Lord of Eternal Dreamland and fight alongside the Mother of Twilight to defeat the Mother of Nightmares!
Secondly, add the Nightmare Mother to fight against the Lord of Eternal Dreamland and the Twilight Mother, thus creating a balance.
Thirdly, directly seize the Flesh Dragon, inject it into the Ancient Dragon Egg, and set up a plan for the main world.
but……
He chose the fourth one.
Endless mad flames burned and spread out, directly attacking the three great beings.
The Lord of Eternal Dreamland, the Mother of Twilight, and the Mother of Nightmares also ceased their war and began to resist this boiling, frenzied fire of life.
Then, we all started to take action against this troublemaker!
He single-handedly attracted all the hatred!
Although he couldn't fight three against one, his vitality was almost inexhaustible, making him virtually unkillable. So, he switched to a rogue-style fighting method!
A terrifying ecological radiation emanated, causing the illusory dream world to continuously sprout vibrant flesh and tendrils.
"As expected of you!" Lu Yu looked at this scene with a strange expression; it was actually going a little more smoothly than he had initially anticipated.
As expected of the generous and eccentric "older sister," she never plays by the rules.
"A mad vitality, ever-growing flesh and blood, an infinite regeneration like a curse..." Shi Weijun had never seen the Mad God, but he could confirm his identity through the corresponding authority.
Life is born from madness, and eternal life is illuminated by the burning flames of madness.
This entity has been exerting influence on the Crazy Plateau for a long time, rarely intervening in the various civilizations. So long that the kings have come to believe that it is a harmless and great being.
did not expect……
They're holding back a big surprise!
Shi Weijun looked at Lu Yu, who had a calm expression, and said in a deep voice:
"How did you know the Mad God was there?"
Why did he feel that Lu Yu knew more about these secrets of the gods than they, these old guys, did?
No wonder Lu Yu didn't choose to enter the Dream Realm; there was actually a hidden force at work there.
If you go in, it's like a lamb entering a tiger's den.
However, now, Lu Yu has attracted external forces, forcing the Mad God to appear, successfully triggering a divine war and completely messing up the situation.
To scheme against a great being with a mortal body!
If you fail, that's called arrogance; but if you succeed, it can only be called...
Genius!
At this moment, Lu Yu was already lying on the spider silk recliner, with Lu Wa beside him, both of them using pillows made by the little spider itself, covered with blankets embroidered with its chibi-style patterns, but there were no other pets.
It's also a little thought of the little spider: when its owner is sleeping, it can completely belong to it.
Throughout the process, the little spider turned its face away, seemingly admiring the scenery, but the blush on its fair face betrayed it.
Lu Yu smiled, pulled the blanket up a little, and said, "It's probably because I like to read."
"..." Shi Weijun felt that this kid was getting more and more annoying.
Such high-dimensional information would cause pollution even for ordinary people just by hearing about it, let alone treating the gods as pawns.
Lu Yu smiled without saying a word. He didn't know either, since he had only just learned about the Ancient Dragon's Dead Egg incident.
But... when he destroyed the Deer Snail Kingdom, Lu Yu obtained the extraordinary organ of the Lan Wanglong. Through the extraction of information from the Authority of Truth, he discovered that this guy had actively devoured the Mad God Factor.
Having inherited the immense vitality of the Mad God Factor, it should, in theory, even if it were corrupted, possess an almost inextinguishable flame of life, burning with an inextinguishable Mad God fire.
But only one organ that could not regenerate remained.
This does not conform to the characteristics of the mad god's ecology!
So here's the question...
Where did Lan Wanglong go?
Such a huge dragon king couldn't just disappear into thin air, could it?
Even if someone were killed, surely they wouldn't leave behind their most precious supernatural organs?
In particular, Egg told him that the other party wanted to become Gu Long.
This is its intuition as a legendary dragon!
He became an ancient dragon, but abandoned his own extraordinary organs...
Ancient dragon eggs in the borderlands...
A consciousness that suddenly arises...
When all the information is put together, the answer becomes clear.
The Storm King Dragon aspires to become king, but the Storm Path already has corresponding great beings and several true kings. Even though it has opened up the [Storm] Path by combining wind and ice paths, there is still an upper limit, and the difficulty is even greater.
Furthermore... it witnessed the failure of the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King, who was blessed with the red of life, and understood that the legendary dragon had a high starting point, but it faced many difficulties if it wanted to go further.
However, the appearance of the ancient dragon's dead egg gave this dragon king new hope.
Ancient dragons are granted a "calling" by the main world, allowing them to smoothly ascend to become naturally divine beings, unaffected by the suppression of the mortal ecosystem.
Moreover, this ancient dragon that was born this time may very well have a divine duty related to killing gods!
However, the life force required to revive and hatch an ancient dragon's dead egg is immense, far exceeding his own life force. Moreover, extracting the ley lines from the border would attract attacks from the kings of the High Council.
Even if it succeeds, it will become a tool of the main world, and will be thrown away after it is used.
Otherwise, it will become a new destabilizing factor.
The ancient dragon that lived as long as the heavens does not exist!
and so……
It needs to rely on external forces while simultaneously gaining immense vitality.
A mad god who is generous and selfless and yearns for the crazy evolution of all living beings would be a good choice.
Therefore, the Lanwanglong actively devoured the high-level Mad God Factor in order to prevent its own original spirituality from affecting the Ancient Dragon's duty.
If all goes well, he might even be able to devour the gods during the chaotic era and further transform into a dragon god!
If the Mad God can facilitate its evolution, its own authority will receive a huge return, making it a top-tier, great being!
However, given the brain circuitry of the Mad God, he probably thinks that becoming stronger will allow him to spread more Mad God factors and generously contribute them.
Therefore, the Mad God will inevitably enter the fray and cause trouble!
"The war of the gods has begun, but the outcome of the victory is ultimately beyond the control of mortals!" Shi Weijun sighed.
The most difficult thing about scheming against great beings is that even if you painstakingly plan, the final victory can be easily taken away.
This is the view of a higher-dimensional being looking down upon a lower-dimensional life form; it reflects an absolute difference in power.
The four gods fought each other, and whoever emerged victorious could give birth to an ancient dragon.
As beings with the consciousness of the main world, the kings could not prevent the birth of the ancient dragons, since it was a matter of divine will.
Only after the ancient dragons are fully born and integrated into the mortal ecosystem can they be killed.
The question is, what can Lu Yu do after he's done being handsome?
It seems... there's nothing we can do!
Lu Yu did not explain, but simply looked down at the small flowers growing on the edge of the tower wall.
When the little spider was weaving the pure white tower, it did not damage the ground structure. Many seeds of wind-borne plants remained on this open space. Under the influence of its spiritual radiation, many small white flowers actually grew. Because they had eight petals, they were named White Spider Flowers.
Despite the lack of sun and rain, it still grows tenaciously.
Lu Yu was somewhat surprised at the time, but then the rat, trying to flatter him, said, "It is your sun-like will that has illuminated them, Xiu Ren," which left Lu Yu speechless.
It's enough to keep it to yourself; there's no need to tell everyone!
Getting back to the main point, these tenacious little flowers are now withering away.
Shi Weijun saw more through the radiant perspective.
The entire border town was in chaos. Everyone was shouting, "The plants are withering!" The river began to shrink until it dried up. Large numbers of wild animals raised their heads, looking terrified.
They heard the earth's lament.
In the area guarded by the ancient dragon's dead egg, all the rituals that were originally scattered around the mountain-like black and gold giant egg were shattered, and all the human guardians fell to the ground, including the president of the Great Abyss City Alliance, all of them unconscious.
The giant egg sits atop the boundary between reality and dreams, behind which one can see the illusory dream world and the vast battlefield of divine power, forming a unique dream world gate.
Countless black threads resembling mycelium spread out in front, but upon closer inspection, they were found to be formed from countless tiny divine runes that had penetrated deep into the earth, constantly drawing power to supply themselves.
In the dream world, the previously withered flesh and blood dragon seemed to receive a mysterious blessing, instantly bursting into a frenzy and starting to kill indiscriminately.
"Why has the Ancient Dragon begun to gestate?" Shi Weijun's voice was grave. "Could it be another one of the Faceless Brothers...?"
"I did it," Lu Yu said.
"???"
Shi Weijun was stunned. His mind went blank. Just as he was about to question the other party, he saw Lu Yu, Little Spider and other pet beasts turn into a sky full of red mist and dissipate.
The Lu Yu he had been facing with his radiant perspective turned out to be...
A fake!
*
*
In the dream world,
The battle of the Four Gods erupted, and boundless divine power swept across the Dream Realm. Under their deliberate control, it did not affect the Sea of Nightmares.
"Roar roar roar!"
Although countless nightmare beasts in the Nightmare Sea had grown flesh and blood from their illusory bodies, they were still frantically tearing at each other under the influence of the Nightmare Mother.
"roar!"
With a dragon's roar, a large number of nightmare beasts turned to ashes. In the burning head of the flesh dragon, however, there was no madness in the scarlet dragon eyes, only endless coldness and unwavering determination.
It carved a bloody path through the sea of nightmares.
Rumble!
However, at this moment, a vast pressure erupted from the depths of the Nightmare Sea, and a nightmare law swept out, shaking the dream world and weaving together a complete nightmare.
This is an ancient nightmare beast nurtured by the Nightmare Mother, which has been revived at this moment. In order to regain its mother's favor, it is doing everything it can.
However, before they could get close, they were blocked by endless dreams.
In the divine kingdom of the Lord of Eternal Dreamland, a dream angel appeared, ethereal and lingering, and stopped the King of Nightmares.
The flesh-and-blood dragon continued its slaughter, displaying terrifying combat instincts, and constantly moved further away from the seabed of the Nightmare Sea.
It could sense that... the ancient dragon's dead egg was beginning to draw upon the earth's veins to nurture a dragon's body.
Once you break free from the shackles of the Nightmare Sea, you can leave the dream world and enter the real world.
In addition to the countless mad god factors he carries, and the fragments of the dream kingdom that have lost the control of the dream lord, all these factors combined allow him to begin to be born and nurture his own [divine calling].
Become a Gu Long ahead of time!
10,000 kilometers...
One thousand kilometers...
One hundred kilometers...
It's almost here!
The instant it pierced through the Sea of Nightmares and rushed toward the dream gate opened by the Ancient Dragon Egg, a heavenly kingdom burning with silver flames appeared before its eyes, containing a giant egg swirling with chaotic energy.
Ancient and mysterious, it emanates a rhythm that resonates throughout all things!
The two combined and crashed down suddenly.
Caught off guard, it was completely stunned and sank dozens of kilometers into the sea of nightmares. Its flesh and tentacles broke off and were devoured by the nightmares.
"Hehe, please keep quiet in front of Father!"
Standing atop the Nightmare Prison, Xiaoyu smiled and ignored Lu Wa's boundless malice, clinging to Lu Yu and occasionally making a face to provoke him.
Just kidding, she's Father's most beloved daughter!
Lu Wa was furious, wishing she could jump out of her egg and kill the other party!
As for Lu Yu, he looked down at the deep, dark sea of nightmares and said softly:
"Lord Lan Wanglong, aren't you afraid this desperate gamble will fail?"
Even if he's still alive, he's still the pseudo-dragon king on the border, with a long lifespan to enjoy!
"As expected, you know my identity, no, I should say you know everything!" From the deep ocean, the ferocious fire dragon's head emerged, relentlessly burning its prey to ashes. It stared at Lu Yu, its gaze devoid of anger or resentment, simply saying calmly:
"Birds make their nests in the sky!"
Lu Yu pondered this carefully and realized that he had been petty and underestimated the Dragon King's arrogance.
Dying on the path to becoming an ancient dragon is, for them, one of the joys of their long lives!
Such an opponent is truly...
"interesting!"
Lu Yu chuckled, watching the Lan Wanglong rushing towards him. With a thought, Egg and Mouse transformed into the Crimson King Dragon Armor and donned it. Endless crimson energy surged, enhanced by the ranch, and combined with the longevity bee sting he had used beforehand, unleashing a terrifying pressure.
The enhanced 288-armed Azure Heaven Demon God's true spirit was reflected behind him.
Celestial Mystery - Holy Strike of All Gods!
It collided directly with the Storm King Dragon, unleashing a terrifying battle that shattered many of the nearby Nightmares in the aftershocks.
He single-handedly fought to a draw with the Storm King Dragon in its flesh and blood dream state, which possessed top-tier ecological combat power.
Lan Wanglong watched as the shattered flesh and tentacles on its body were rapidly repaired by the burning madness. It quietly looked at Lu Yu and said softly, "Human, you are very strong and possess many skills, but..."
"This is the battlefield of the gods. Even if they can stop me, I will not die with the power of the Mad God's Fire. As long as the war of the gods ends, I will still become an ancient dragon and be reborn in the mortal world."
Everything you've done has been in vain!
It was not an attempt to persuade someone to surrender, but rather to state a fact.
"But I think..." Lu Yu chuckled, as endless death energy swept out, transforming into a planet of bones, which he then hurled out:
"I stand outside this world, silently counting down the days until your death!"
Even the Storm Dragon King chose to retreat in the face of the power of the Bone Planet.
The commotion here is not as great as the battle between the gods, or even as great as the battle between the Dream Angel and the Nightmare King.
However, the consciousness of the ancient dragon's dead egg, which is at the core of the incident, immediately attracted the attention of the kings.
After all, the war between the four gods can cause anomalies even from the aftershocks of the battle. Without mastering one's own laws, even watching the war can cause anomalies.
"Lu Yu actually ventured deep into the Dream Realm to participate in the God War?"
"No, it's not a war of gods. The four gods controlled their power, so the area near the Nightmare Sea was not affected. The two True Kings were also fighting in the core area. It can only be said that they came to the edge."
"That kid really has some nerve!"
"In just a few years, he's achieved combat strength approaching that of a pseudo-king. This kid is truly a monster!"
"..."
Most of the human kings admired him, but many more felt that this kid was too reckless, seeing that none of them were willing to risk their lives during the battle of the gods.
Without the constraints of the mortal world, there is an insurmountable chasm between kings and gods!
Lu Yu actually went ahead recklessly; his approach was flawed, but his courage was commendable!
As for the kings of all races, they had a completely different opinion, thinking that this kid was too arrogant!
I'm very likely to die in the dream world!
Even the World's Miss World has some concerns.
Even though Lu Yu was once a top-tier great being, he has not yet returned. He must be cautious when facing other great beings.
However, since he dared to go, he probably has some trump cards up his sleeve!
However, compared to the kings' surprise, disdain, and admiration, the many geniuses inside the Lan Wanglong's belly just wanted to curse.
Lu Yu had a great time smashing things, but it made them feel nauseous.
Moreover, after the Lan Wanglong were blocked, once the war of gods ended, they would either be crushed to death by the gods or digested.
Regardless of the method, they must all make a glorious sacrifice for the Lord's world!
All of this is because of that scoundrel Lu Yu!
Dongfang Yuan sensed the despair surrounding him, his expression calm, and looked down at his empty right hand.
That piece of white paper... is gone!
boom!
Just as they were frantically cursing, the war between the four gods suddenly entered a stalemate, and they also noticed the commotion here. Terrifying divine power swept over them.
Meanwhile, the Mother of Twilight spread her twilight radiance, exceeding all speed, and swept towards Lu Yu.
However, it was stopped by the mad god who was caught off guard!
The aftershocks of the leak directly sent Lu Yu flying back dozens of kilometers!
Although the power of life is strong, the Mad God can no longer hold out against the three deities for much longer.
The three deities joined forces, pushing the Mad God closer to them.
"it's over!"
Lan Wanglong repelled the projection of the Azure Heaven Demon God and spoke calmly, his gaze indifferent, though tinged with regret.
Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to have a dogfight, break free from the control of the main world consciousness and the gods, and become the first free ancient dragon.
"In that case, let me fulfill my sacred duty and bear the weight of this world!"
The Storm Dragon roared as it approached the Ancient Dragon Egg, its body engulfed in raging flames that transformed into countless threads connecting to the egg and infusing it with immense life force.
boom!
The consciousness of the main world descended, even more vast than that of the gods, as if it contained boundless power.
Countless ancient divine scripts gathered together, constantly intertwining and colliding, unleashing the power of all things, slowly converging together and beginning to condense into two words.
That is the ancient dragon's "duty," just like the authority of the gods, only it is a gift from the main world.
After all, in the primordial era, it was the one that imprinted the ecology of the gods before expelling them, and naturally it also possessed some power.
For example, Tianchuanglong possesses the power of creation.
Lan Wanglong was also very curious about what kind of power he would master.
Since the goal is to annihilate the gods, it's highly likely that it involves forces of annihilation, destruction, or the end...
At the same time, four deities approached, their vast divine might enveloping most of the dream world.
"Lu Yu has lost!" The kings either sighed or watched coldly.
We are ready to face the most powerful ancient dragon!
However, the kings of all races were mostly gloating, and even if they were to take action, they would do so only after the human race had been killed.
"It's over!" The geniuses inside the Lan Wanglong's belly were filled with despair!
Lan Wanglong also flapped its wings, drawing ever closer, its heart filled with a mix of emotions—joy and excitement. It spread its claws, as if declaring to the world:
"With the gods as witnesses, I have finally become an ancient dragon!"
"Before you start bragging, ask the Dream Eater Cult if they're willing to let you have your way. They're preparing the most powerful legacy to steal the fruits of victory!" Lu Yu's voice rang out, interrupting Lan Wanglong's joy.
As soon as the words were spoken, countless gazes converged on the belly of the Storm King Dragon, or rather...
On the body of the Dream-Eating Pope!
The Dream Eater Cult—those weaklings actually have a trump card?
Countless people's first reaction was disbelief.
Chizuka, in particular, of the slow-moving royal family, simply did not believe that this seemingly useless person who was being easily beaten was the mastermind behind it all.
Even the Pope himself was dumbfounded.
Don't drag me into your bragging!
Lan Wanglong's gaze was indifferent. Although he didn't believe it, the mad flame tentacles in the dream domain pierced through, ready to crush this unstable factor.
"save……"
Just as the Dream Eater Pope was about to cry for help, a mysterious crimson aura, invisible to the naked eye, flashed in his eyes, condensing into the pattern of the Crimson King's position, instantly covering his consciousness.
The next second, the fiery tentacles shattered, turning into countless sparks that scattered across the sky.
Countless people stared in awe as the Dream Eater Pope strolled among them.
Even the Four Gods cast their gazes upon it.
The Dream-Eating Pope's gaze was calm, no longer showing his previous disheveled state, and he chuckled lightly:
"As expected of the most outstanding successor of my Dream Eater Cult, he actually guessed my thoughts."
"The most perfect forbidden spell I've researched with my entire life, 'The Dream of Yellow Millet,' can reverse cause and effect, turning a potentially successful ending into a dream. But if one is already in the dream world, it can invert the dream and the real world, severing one's divine duty!"
"Successfully, the Dream Eater Cult could create a dragon that makes dreams come true; failed..."
"It is also my most perfect work!"
At that moment, everyone stared at the crazed figure and fell silent.
This seemingly weak Dream-Eating Pope actually harbors such insane ambitions.
This guy was beaten up the whole time but didn't show his strength, just so he could unleash it at the last moment.
Otherwise, repelling the power of the mad fire tentacles would easily crush the sluggish royal ecosystem master.
There is no other explanation but that it is the work of a schemer!
That makes sense; that explains how the remaining legacy of the other party could nurture a monster like Lu Yu.
And the legacy he left behind was none other than the stolen divine duty from Gu Long!
This is essentially an opportunity to become king!
"He's someone important!"
At this moment, even the kings took notice.
The gods cast their gazes upon us.
Even Lan Wanglong never expected that he had such a person hidden under his command!
Even enemies have to admire the other party's patience.
Lan Wanglong reacted immediately, unleashing thousands of chains of mad fire that swiftly suppressed and killed his opponent.
but……
It's too late!
The Dream Eater Pope's lips curled slightly upwards, and endless power of lies gathered, transforming from illusion to reality, and in the Dream Eater Pope's hand, it transformed into an illusory dream-breaking cursed sword, covered with dream-breaking spells.
"I may die, but the Dream Eater Cult's ideal of turning the world into a dream... cannot perish!"
The Dream Eater Pope's body was pierced by countless fiery touches. Before dying, he used all his strength to stab the longsword in his hand into the ancient dragon's dream world.
boom!
this moment,
Countless spells instantly surged and spread, causing the Storm Dragon's body to rapidly materialize, and then...
The causal link between the Storm King Dragon and the Ancient Dragon's dead egg was forcibly severed.
The ancient dragon eggs that had begun to develop and the divine duty remained frozen in place, instantly becoming ownerless.
At this moment, the other three gods joined forces to repel the Mad God and approached this side.
Among them, the Mother of Twilight was the most enthusiastic. Her endless twilight radiance spread and enveloped the dream world, making it look like a golden world. She couldn't wait to make contact with Lu Yu.
"A good tactic, but unfortunately it still failed!"
Lan Wanglong did not disappear. He looked surprised and could feel that he had almost been rejected by the dream world and nearly crashed.
Fortunately, the opponent's spell was not perfect enough, and it could only temporarily separate its consciousness. It could soon return to the ancient dragon's dead egg.
This also convinced him that it was a defective product.
But it's truly impressive that the Dream Eater Pope could achieve this with the power of a mortal.
Lan Wanglong looked at Lu Yu, who was being watched by the gods, and whispered:
"I've won! My calling has finally been mine!"
Only legendary dragons can bear the divine calling, and it requires a corresponding rank and immense vitality.
Even if it becomes ownerless, it cannot be taken away.
Gu Long's responsibilities were not so simple to bear.
Ultimately, you still have to bear the consequences yourself.
Next, under the mighty power of the gods, the opponent will only face destruction.
The kings watched this scene in silence, and couldn't help but sigh.
Pity.
"Oh no!"
The halo behind the King of Order's head spun, and he was about to rush out to provide support.
But the next second...
Endless power of death swept in, constructing the underworld and the laws of the dead, shaking the dream world, and together with the god of madness, it stopped the three gods for a moment.
The God of the Underworld has arrived from the realm of the dead!
However, it is almost impossible to stop the three gods.
However, at this moment, Lu Yu appeared near the ancient dragon's dead egg, placed his hand on it, looked at the gods, and chuckled:
"Since legend says that dragons can bear divine responsibilities and become ancient dragons..."
"Why can't it be me?"
