Chapter 283 Xi
The Dragon God, who once looked down upon the ten great star systems and created the Dragon God Realm, died just like that.
He died silently.
After realizing that the remnant soul of the Dragon God had truly and completely dissipated in Huo Yuhao's Niwan Palace, the three Dragon Kings suddenly felt that it would have been better if the Dragon God had died in the Dragon God War.
At least in this way, he is still the Dragon God who led the dragon race to glory in the memories of the Dragon Kings.
At least in this way, the fall of the Dragon God was a defeat to the will of the universe, a tragic end for a martyr.
Instead of what happened now, where greed and madness led them to choose to personally strangle the only hope for the revival of the dragon race, leaving not even a trace behind, becoming a complete disgrace.
None of the three Dragon Kings and Emperor Tian expected that the Dragon Kings they had fought for would be so despicable in the end.
"Oh."
"
The pure and clean dragon soul of the Wind Dragon King let out a meaningless sigh, filled with endless sorrow.
Just then, Huo Yuhao, who was suspended in mid-air, suddenly withdrew the hazy and chaotic light around him.
And at that moment, he opened his tightly closed eyes.
His gaze fell upon the three Dragon Kings and Emperor Tian beside him.
"The Truth Behind the Dragon God War —"
However, he paused, unusually, after only getting to the beginning of the sentence, his brows furrowing slightly, as if he found it difficult to speak.
He felt that the Dragon God's motives were far too outrageous.
It's so outrageous that saying it aloud might completely shatter the last vestiges of hope for these dragons who once worshipped the Dragon God.
To be honest, Huo Yuhao could understand why the Dragon God wanted to be resurrected or reincarnated to find his wife.
This is the Dragon God's obsession with becoming stronger, which is understandable.
However, because of this incident, Huo Yuhao couldn't understand the Dragon God's arrangements for the Dragon Clan and the Dragon Realm.
He couldn't understand, much less fathom, the logic behind the Dragon God's prohibition of the beast race from becoming gods.
The Dragon God has been surviving here for hundreds of thousands of years. With a single thought, he could resurrect himself and lead the dragon race to glory once again.
But he acted like a coward, hiding in this little world, escaping everything.
But even the ugliest truth is better than a false faith maintained by lies.
The dragon race truly needs to sever ties with the past and look to the future.
"The truth behind the Dragon God War is this."
Huo Yuhao recounted everything from the Dragon God's memories in detail.
The rift valley fell into an even more deathly and heavy silence than when the Dragon God had died.
There was no roaring, no questioning.
Only the immense emptiness after the complete collapse of faith, and the bone-chilling coldness of being betrayed by the most trusted and revered person.
The three Dragon Kings all looked at the completely frozen Di Tian at this moment.
The beastmen cannot become gods, and these dragon god-kings have never experienced this extremely tragic era.
But Di Tian was the one who personally experienced all of this.
In order to secure a future for the beastmen, he endured humiliation and worked tirelessly, even sacrificing Zi Ji as a sacrifice, thus abandoning the last hope of the dragon race besides himself.
It should be noted that when Di Tian made up his mind to have Zi Ji sacrifice herself, he did not know the method of transforming into a demon.
The truth behind all of this was actually the Dragon God's illogical nonsense.
Anger, sadness, humiliation, disbelief —
A variety of emotions collided fiercely in Di Tian's heart, but in the end, they all turned into a deathly cold silence.
He never imagined that the truth about why orcs couldn't become gods would be so ugly.
The Dragon God is the greatest disgrace to the dragon race.
"Senior Di Tian." Huo Yuhao stepped forward.
It felt like waking up from a long nightmare.
Di Tian didn't look up or at anyone: "I want to be alone for a while."
His voice was low and hoarse, each word seeming to be squeezed out with difficulty from the depths of his throat.
Those once sharp, golden dragon eyes now seemed to be covered with a thick layer of dust, losing all their brilliance and leaving only endless weariness and emptiness.
The Dragon King's dragon soul fluctuated violently, as if it wanted to say something, but could only let out a sigh.
Di Tian has suffered too much these past years.
The Dragon God owes the Dragon Clan an apology, and even more so, he owes Emperor Tian.
As the most freedom-loving dragon king in the dragon race, the Wind Dragon King has an unconventional personality. He can lead the Light Dragon King and the Dark Dragon King, who have just awakened from their remorse, to rebel against the Dragon God, but he doesn't know how to comfort Di Tian after his faith has collapsed.
"Let him be by himself for a while," said the ethereal, almost vanished dragon soul of the Light Dragon King.
After being stripped of the original essence bestowed by the Dragon God, the dragon souls of the three Dragon Kings became so illusory.
If the Wind Dragon King needed a hundred years to dissipate, the Dark Dragon King and the Light Dragon King needed ten years to vanish.
So now, they might perish completely tomorrow.
Huo Yuhao let out a long, silent breath.
Perhaps, as the Dragon King of Light said, it's more important for Di Tian to figure this out himself than to say anything.
"In that case," Huo Yuhao turned to look at the three Dragon Kings, "then let's prepare for the three seniors' transformation into demons."
"The dragon god essence of our predecessors has been stripped away."
"This way, we can use the elemental power from the Six Paths of Reincarnation Dragon Domain to replenish it."
"But if that's the case, then the future generations will be the pillars of the New World, and it won't be so easy for them to transcend this."
The Wind Dragon King's voice was much calmer: "It's not like we can't train an heir in the future."
"Before the dragon race surpasses the realm of divine dragons, you can ask me to leave, but I won't."
The Light Dragon King and the Dark Dragon King nodded slightly.
Although the light of their dragon souls was dim and about to be extinguished, it revealed an unprecedented clarity and determination.
Stripped of the origin bestowed by the Dragon God, they were on the verge of extinction, but the last thread of connection with the decaying past was severed, and their souls became incomparably pure, as if returning to the state of their birth.
Huo Yuhao suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and his gaze toward the three Dragon Kings became extremely focused.
"Three seniors, concentrate your minds and release all constraints on the dragon soul form."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao's Mind's Eye between his brows lit up, radiating a deep, cosmic luster.
He slowly raised his hands, palms facing upwards.
Om-!
The Six Paths of Reincarnation Dragon Domain, which was previously only in its rudimentary form, has become more stable and profound under the nourishment of the remnant soul of the Dragon God.
The six fundamental principles form a more harmonious and fluid structure.
The six attributes were no longer clearly distinct, but rather transformed into one another, forming a chaotic halo of light about ten feet in diameter that slowly rotated around him.
At the center of the roulette wheel was Huo Yuhao.
"lead!"
Huo Yuhao gave a low shout, like an imperial edict.
The three elemental primordial powers within the Wheel of Reincarnation flowed slowly, like a galaxy, toward the dragon souls of the three dragon kings.
At the moment the light poured in, the dragon bones of the three dragon kings slowly rose into the air from the bottom of the rift valley.
The dragon soul and dragon bones transcend the boundaries of life and death, undergoing a spiritual and physical regeneration and beginning an unprecedented fusion.
Three dragon eggs, blue, white, and black, like three stars nurturing new life, floated within Huo Yuhao's Six Paths of Reincarnation Dragon Domain.
"The Pillars of the New Territories, the embodiment of laws!"
"Imperial Decree—Transform into a Demon!"
An ancient yet vibrant and powerful aura emerged from the three dragon eggs.
The Chaos Wheel slowly contracted, and finally sank into Huo Yuhao's Niwan Palace along with the three dragon eggs.
"The last remnant of the Water and Fire Dragon King's true spirit, nourished by the remnant soul of the Dragon God, has shown signs of revival."
Huo Yuhao's spiritual body looked at the Qi-refining furnace in the Niwan Palace: "If the Fire Dragon King's daughter, and Senior Brother Long, are hatched and break through under the blessing of the six pillars, their potential will be enhanced like never before."
"And the Azure Dragon statue in Azure Dragon City—"
Previously, Huo Yuhao only wanted to refine the Azure Dragon statue into a living soul tool.
But now, his thinking has changed.
"The six pillars are all beastmen, and humanity needs an object that can balance them."
"A metallic life form that has never been born before, a creation that carries human wisdom and creativity, is just right to fulfill this function."
Outside, Di Tian still stands in the same place, like an unchanging mountain.
The blow of a collapsing faith is far greater than physical trauma.
Huo Yuhao didn't say much to him, but returned to Dragon Valley and found the returning Mountain Dragon King.
After learning the whole truth, the Mountain Dragon King remained silent for a long time before finally sighing.
Soon after, a dragon egg exuding the aura of mountains and rivers appeared in Huo Yuhao's Niwan Palace.
"Senior Di Tian," Huo Yuhao said, looking at Di Tian who was staring blankly at the dragon egg of the Fire Dragon King's daughter, "give her a name."
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, something seemed to be struggling to break through the soil in Di Tian's eyes.
"Xi".
Her name is Xi.
Di Tian repeated it, his voice still hoarse, but with an added hint of almost devout certainty.
Xi.
This Xi is not the same as the ancient Mingxi.
Xi is sunlight, the path that Gu Mingxi illuminated after he was reborn as a human.
Xi represents the nascent Yang, the beginning of life, the source of Qi, and the harbinger of breaking through darkness.
She is not a tool for anything, nor a substitute for anyone.
Her very existence is Xi.
Xi is a dragon, the first ray of light that the beast race has seen after an endless night!
This name seemed to carry some kind of magical power, igniting the struggling hope in Di Tian's eyes!
A slight smile finally appeared on Huo Yuhao's lips.
He understood Di Tian's choice and the weight that this name carried.
