If Li Shi Ying took interest in animals living in this world…
Wasn't that good? 
"Ohh so it's like that" Li Shi Ying nodded happily after knowing the species of those cute jellyfish. They were huge like a monster but somehow still adorable especially when they jumped around with those tentacles. 
"Mn" Long Ao Zhen casually responded. His attention was still on Li Shi Ying, unlike the girl who already turned around to watch the show again. This time the one performing were a bunch of sea dragon. 
They looked like a Chinese dragon but smaller in size and they live in the water. They couldn't fly but they could make a beautiful leapt with their long body. Since there were several of them, their collaboration created a beautiful view. 
The first sea dragon leapt out from the water forming a huge circle with its body and before it fell to the water, the second dragon leapt forming the same circle. It continues to the fifth dragon, creating a 'wave' of dragons. 
These dragons also had beautiful scales. The first dragon had a golden scale, the second had a red scale and the third had green scale but not as deep as Long Ao Zhen's scale colour. The fourth had purple scale and the last had a white scale. 
Whenever these five leapt, they always created a kind of illusion with their colourful scales. Their movement also followed the traditional Chinese music making the performance even better. 
Of course, each time they did attraction there would be a huge water splash coming to Li Shi Ying's direction but thanks to the barrier, Li Shi Ying didn't get wet at all. 
"These dragons are just like you, maybe the mini version* Li Shi Ying laughed as she watched the show. The girl turned around a bit to tease Long Ao Zhen and only then saw that the man was staring at her. 
"Me? I'm much cooler than them. They are also a dragon species but they can't take on a human form, unlike those citizens in our kingdom. They're pretty though that's why a lot of nobles take them as their pet" 
Long Ao Zhen harrumphed feeling embarrassed being compared to these sea dragons. Actually indeed, besides their size couldn't be compared to the real dragon, everything else these dragons had was the same as a real drag. 
No wonder Li Shi Ying said that the two of them were similar. 
"I see...I wonder if our children will be in the form of small dragons or human baby when they are born later" Li Shi Ying suddenly thought of something when she saw these dragons. If she got pregnant with Long Ao Zhen's seeds..
Then the children would possibly be a dragon, right? After all his gene should be stronger than her human gene so...what if when they were born they were in the shape of small Chinese dragons? 
Won't that...be bad for her? How the hell she took them out from her belly?! Shouldn't dragons give birth in form of eggs or something since they're literally lizards? 
"Hmmm if it was my mother, she gave birth in her dragon form so I was born in an egg form and after that, I broke the eggshell, came out as a small baby dragon until I was 3-4 years only then I'm able to take on a human form" 
Long Ao Zhen pondered over Li Shi Ying's question. This was indeed an important question as he too didn't know what their children would look like. He took on a human form when he was 4 years old and somehow his appearance was just determined from the start. 
It's weird how his mother had blonde hair and his father had black hair yet he ended up with dark green hair. Thinking again...his mother dragon form was a golden dragon while his father was a black jet dragon. 
There are a lot of black jet dragons in the kingdom but his father had distinguished scales. It would sparkle under the sunlight and would glow in silver light under the moonlight. 
That's the proof of him being a royalty. Even his grandfather also had the same trait. Just like himself also had sparkling scales under the sunlight. 
At first, he couldn't understand why he was so different from his father and mother but after knowing that this world as something based on a novel...anything impossible could be possible, right? 
At least his face was similar to his mother's beautiful face. That's how people knew he was indeed a royal family member. 
"I don't want to lay an egg!" Li Shi Ying's sudden scream made Long Ao Zhen snapped from his thought. He saw that the girl was puffing her cheeks refusing the possibility that her children might come from an egg. 
"Ughh right I can't imagine you giving birth to an egg...the egg should be big too maybe around 30 centimetres high and the diameter can be half the height" Long Ao Zhen laughed awkwardly. He didn't think of this problem before. 
What to do?? 
"Is there no way for my children to be born as human babies? Just make them born in a human dorm first and then later they can change into small dragons" 
Li Shi Ying tugged on Long Ao Zhen's sleeves with wronged expression. She didn't have the mood to watch the show anymore now. 
This problem is more important than anything! How could she give birth to a bunch of eggs? That's impossible ah!

"Three on four? Have these Asians spent too much time in their small barbarian Yelang Kingdom for too long? Did they seriously think they can challenge us just because they had a fairly impressive performance in the first round and the treasure hunt? Don't forget that their country has been in danger lately just because of how far behind the magic of their country is!" the woman with moles snort, with an arrogant and mocking grin.
She soon locked her gaze on Mu Tingying, who was also a female representative and said, "I'll take that Ice Maga out in ten minutes."
"Be careful of her captain," Johnson warned her.
Johnson had faint, blue eyes. He was dressed in simple clothing, with a calm and steady demeanor, like a sturdy mountain with distinct edges.
His eyes were fixed on Ai Jiangtu as he walked forward at a steady pace. In the previous matches, Johnson had seen the firm demeanor of a soldier in the Space Mage.
The students of a military academy were clearly different than the students from ordinary schools. Students with a military background were neither undisciplined nor had the pride of a young adult, as if their bones would always emit a stern aura, regardless of what they were facing!
In their eyes, the place was not just a stage, it was no different than a battlefield!
Johnson had long noticed Ai Jiangtu, and similarly, the man had long caught Ai Jiangtu's attention. After all, the captain of the German team was not the destructive Mage Reed, but the tall and sturdy man that was firm as a mountain, Johnson!
Johnson was in an offensive stance. He gradually approached the Chinese team, using a few Basic and Intermediate Spells as a signal, implying that he was challenging Ai Jiangtu to a duel.
Ai Jiangtu did not leave the team. He stood within the range of Zhao Manyan's defensive spells, and while keeping his eyes on Johnson, he was also keeping an eye out for another member of the enemy team.
"It doesn't seem like he's interested in dueling me. If that's the case… attack at will!" Johnson waved his hand and gave the order.
Johnson's words served as an absolute order to the team. As his voice was still echoing across the stage, various magical glows appeared as space trembled when the energy of the spells gathered.
A sand dune suddenly emerged from the ground, followed by a deafening roar.
The yellow sand poured down from the beast's back like a waterfall. The creature lifted its head and uttered another roar, turning the sand into a fierce storm.
The crowd eventually realized that the creature was a Granite Inferior Dragon. Its sturdy skin was made of granite, and it looked like a giant statue had come alive. However, its limbs, head, and eyes had a ferocious look that indicated how dangerous the creature was!
The Ice Mage from Munich had a cold grin. He slid along an Ice Chain and landed elegantly on the shoulder of the Granite Inferior Dragon!
The Granite Inferior Dragon moved forward. It saw the craggy wall that Zhao Manyan had summoned, and rammed into it like a giant machine...
Zhao Manyan's shield was immediately smashed to the ground.
The Granite Inferior Dragon roared at Zhao Manyan. Its dragon breath, with a strong Petrifying power, swept forward rapidly.
The dragon breath almost turned Zhao Manyan, Ai Jiangtu, and Mu Tingying into statues. Zhao Manyan forcibly cast a Water Curtain to nullify the attack. He felt better after using the Totem Mark to lift the pressure.
------
"It's an Inferior Dragon, an Earth-type creature. Luckily, the stage doesn't consist of mountains. Otherwise, the Inferior Dragon would pose a great threat to the team!"
"An Inferior Dragon is stronger than a Pseudo-dragon, since they actually possess the lineage of the dragon tribe. Their power is comparable to real dragons, too!" a Hunter among the spectators exclaimed.
"An adult Inferior Dragon is nearly as strong as a Ruler-level creature. Some Inferior Dragons are Ruler-level creatures too… luckily, this Inferior Dragon hasn't matured yet. Otherwise, even with triple the numbers of the Chinese team, they wouldn't stand a chance subduing an Inferior Dragon!" a Senior Hunter exclaimed.
Many Mages were seated beside the man. When it came to the mystical world of magic, most people needed an experienced senior to comment and explain what was happening, since many Hunter Masters had never seen an Inferior Dragon before!
---
The Inferior Dragon was incredibly strong. Zhao Manyan was on edge due to the threat that the creature was posing at close distance. Most terrifyingly, the Mage from Munich had Ice as his primary Element. His powerful Ice Magic was also spreading across the stage, competing with Mu Tingying's Ice.
Mu Tingying was busy fighting against the woman with moles when she realized her Ice Magic was being suppressed by someone else. She seemed fairly agitated as she scolded Zhao Manyan, "Are you seriously more useless than his beast?"
Zhao Manyan was infuriated after hearing her words. He simply had the urge to slap the woman in the face. It was obvious that her Ice Magic was on par with the tanned Ice Mage, while her two other Elements were inferior to the other woman's spells. To his surprise, she immediately placed the blame on him instead! It was true that Zhao Manyan was focusing on stopping the Granite Inferior Dragon from getting any closer, yet he was also enduring the spells of different Elements that were targeting the team!
"Damn it, forcing me to use all three Elements! Plummeting Rays!" Zhao Manyan did not preserve his strength further, knowing that the team was under great pressure.
Zhao Manyan had used his strongest Light Element. He attached the Light Spell in the form of glowing scales to every member of the team. The scales formed a golden armor, serving as a defensive measure for the team.
"As long as the armor is still active, you can basically ignore every spell under the Advanced Level. If you're being attacked by an Advanced Spell, you can easily resist it with a simple defensive spell!" Zhao Manyan yelled at the others on the team.
Zhao Manyan proceeded to summon the wooden clapper and applied its Totem Mark on each of the glowing armors, to reinforce them further!
"That's more like it!" Jiang Shaoxu said, feeling a lot safer under the protection of the armor.
Zhao Manyan's control had improved significantly. He used to only be able to form a single golden armor with Plummeting Rays, but he was now able to cast it on the entire team. Clearly, the man had not been goofing off lately.
Zhao Manyan's defensive spell was quite handy. It was not heavy like the Earth Element, nor was it immovable, like some magic barriers or shields. The glowing scales of the Plummeting Rays were attached directly to the mages, allowing them to move freely. Even when Ai Jiangtu was moving around with Blink, the scales would follow after him like feathers. As long as Ai Jiangtu did not cast Blink consecutively, the armor would still serve its purpose!
The Light Spell allowed the team to slowly catch their breath amid the fierce attacks from the German team.
---
"There goes the Turtle Shell Mage! Old Zhao, well done!" Mo Fan burst out laughing.
"They finally got the situation under control," Advisor Feng Li let out a relieved sigh. Anyone could tell that he was very nervous, too.
It was very risky to not send out their strongest members at the start of the match. If the whole team was crushed by the opposing team, leaving the members injured, even sending the strongest members out had no chance of turning the tables.
As long as they could keep the fight under control and slowly wear out the enemy with their defense, they would eventually secure an advantageous position. Once they sent Mo Fan out to blast the German team, it would be their chance to win the match!
"Speaking of which, the German team is stronger than expected. Apart from the destructive Mage Reed, their captain Johnson can take on Ai Jiangtu face-on, the tanned Mage Summoned the Inferior Dragon with his secondary Summoning Element, and the woman with moles are all pretty strong too. Luckily, Zhao Manyan was able to defend the team with all his Elements. Otherwise, the team would surely be in a pinch by now!" Song He observed.
"What a surprise! The Zhao Clan that is known for their talent at making money has given birth to such a talented Mage!" Chairman Shao Zheng said to Zhao Youqian, who was sitting behind him.
Zhao Youqian chuckled. It was his first time watching his little brother taking part in a magic battle, as he was busy earning money most of the time. To his surprise, his little brother, who only knew how to spend money, pick up chicks, and enjoy luxurious food, was actually so impressive that even the Chairman had given his compliments!
Zhao Youqian was utterly clueless about magic, yet even he could tell that the Chinese team was no longer under great pressure after Zhao Manyan cast his Light Spell.
"Strange, even though Zhao Manyan has a Soul-grade Light Seed, it seems like his Light Spell is a lot stronger than normal Light Spells. What kind of rare equipment did the Zhao Clan spend a fortune on for him?" Mu Gong asked.
The Mu Clan and Zhao Clan had been rivals for many years. The Mu Clan was jealous that the Zhao Clan had as much money as they had rice, while Zhao Clan was annoyed that the Mu Clan was able to raise powerful Mages like they were breeding dogs...
"That's a misunderstanding," Zhao Youqian shook his head.
The others might be unaware, but old Super Mages like them could easily tell that Zhao Manyan was holding some powerful artifact that could further strengthen his defensive spells by stacking its power on top of the Soul-grade Seed.
Something like that was clearly not just a piece of ordinary equipment. If it was useful for strengthening higher-level spells and higher-grade seeds, even Super Mages would be drooling over it!
"Stop being so modest. Is there anything that you guys can't buy in the world? Besides, how many years has it been since your clan has had someone that could learn magic? Not to mention that he's your blood-related brother, I can easily imagine how willing that old fox is to spend a few billion on him, right?" Mu Gong pressed.
Zhao Youqian remained silent with a smile.
"The German team is changing its approach. They are planning to take out the two girls that are suppressing their ace," Han Ji noticed.
"That doesn't sound good!"


He woke up in a familiar world that had vastly changed.

His familiar school had become a mystical school that teaches magic, encouraging everyone to become a mighty magician.

Outside the city, many wandering magical beasts and monsters attacked and preyed on humans.

His world of advanced science changed into one that praised magic. Despite this, his ambition in life, and his social status remained the same; one of the dregs of the society with a struggling father and a disabled step sister that couldn’t walk.

However, Mo Fan found that when most people could only practice a single major element of magic, he was a Versatile Mage!

Within half an hour, Wei Xiao Bei recovered, from just a head, to a skeleton.
However, it was not the end yet. After all, the bones had regrown, but the flesh began to gradually regenerate. Connective tissues began to form, as well as his organs, blood vessels, ligaments, muscles, and so on.
After the skin grew back, Wei Xiao Bei stretched a little. He touched his skin, and it felt much smoother than before. There was a tinge of fire red beneath the skin.
He knew how he looked, even without a mirror.
Next, his hair grew back. As he stayed in the magma, his ability to absorb the heat energy from the magma increased.
Wei Xiao Bei did not know when the bead would stop, but he knew the pool of magma started to solidify into volcanic rocks, beginning with him as the center, trapping him inside.
"Open!"
Wei Xiao Bei shouted as he channeled energy outward from his body and broke free from the volcanic rock.
However, it was quite a futile attempt, as he was trapped again immediately when the magma touched him and solidified again into volcanic rock. After a few tries, he stopped such useless acts. He was like a rod stuck into the volcanic rock, waiting hopefully for the bead to stop.
"Are you okay now?"
Ao Yan's voice came, which sounded even weaker than before.
Wei Xiao Bei turned and saw that the flames on Ao Yan's body were slowly subsiding. Even the dragon scales turned greyish white from fire red. They were like rocks that were weathered.
"What did you spit out for me? Heart blood?"
Wei Xiao Bei was not a fool who needed to slowly investigate what happened. He understood what happened immediately.
Heart Blood, to put it simply, was the entirety of one's essence.
It usually does not reside in one's body, but when in times of need, one could concentrate and form it.
Simply put, a gulp of Heart Blood was at least a tenth of one's essence.
This meant that Ao Yan paid a huge price to save him.
"You fool!"
Wei Xiao Bei felt the sudden heaviness in his heart, and tears began to well up in his eyes.
When Wei Xiao Bei became friends with Ao Yan, a part of his intention was for his own benefit.
Of course, this was something that no one could avoid.
But now, Wei Xiao Bei felt more guilty toward Ao Yan.
"I'm not a fool. The transformation is such great suffering anyway, spitting out some Heart Blood made me feel more comfortable instead."
Ao Yan glanced at Wei Xiao Bei, with an expression like he believed it regardless of what Wei Xiao Bei thought. He spoke as if the Heart Blood was something without value.
Wei Xiao Bei did not speak further but nodded, seemingly believed in what Ao Yan said.
Next, Ao Yan seemed a little unwell. He laid down and twirled his body in a ball, but he did not stop muttering, "You are so lucky to find such a treasure. What a pity, if I knew about it, I would have surely snatched it from you, so that I wouldn't have to go through this ordeal now."
"Stop saying these kinds of useless things. Is this bead really no longer of any use to you?"
Wei Xiao Bei understood Ao Yan's intention. Ao Yan was trying to make him feel less guilty with such words.
"Useless. The treasure has determined its owner."
Ao Yan's body was trembling in pain, but he smiled slightly.
Those who do not understand would have thought the bead recognized its owner the moment Wei Xiao Bei took hold of it.
However, only Wei Xiao Bei knew that the bead would not have activated if not for Ao Yan's Heart Blood. About determining its owner, its current status might be still in the process of determining its owner.
Wei Xiao Bei sighed quietly and fell silent. The whole place quieted down. Only the hissing sounds of magma solidifying into rocks could be heard. Ao Yan no longer spoke either.
As time passed, all the magma surrounding Ao Yan cooled. The giant pool of magma now turned into a volcanic ground.
Wei Xiao Bei struggled and broke free from the rocks. He briskly walked over to Ao Yan and sat down in front of him.
Before Ao Yan, he looked like an ant, but the atmosphere between the two of them was very harmonious.
Wei Xiao Bei opened his mouth to first wear his storage bracelet on his right hand, but right when he was about to spit out the bead, it fell right in along his gullet.
His tongue didn't move in time to stop it.
"Don't waste your effort." Ao Yan muttered.
Wei Xiao Bei was sure that the bead was helpful for Ao Yan. He quickly submerged his consciousness and started searching in his body.
But what shocked him was, even though the bead went down his gullet, it ended up neither in his stomach nor intestine. It ended up in his dantian!
All acupuncture points such as dantian that formed the blood channels were ethereal in the body.
They were semi-independent from the human body.
As such, Wei Xiao Bei had no way to retrieve the bead.
Speaking of the bead, its appearance was totally different from before.
The bead was merely a small black sphere previously, but now, although it was still spherical, it was entirely fire-red. A miniature Fire Dragon circled around the beak. It entered into the bead at times and then reappeared from the bead.
What shocked him the most was, the Inner Qi in his own blood channels had turned into fire red entirely, which could be caused by absorbing the heat from the magma. Moreover, the mini Dragon was consuming the Inner Qi as it moved around.
Wei Xiao Bei did not feel good about it, but after seeing that the mini Fire Dragon only consumed a small amount of Qi, which was less than dantian's production, he was relieved.
[Enlightening] activated!
Since the bead was activated and determined its owner, it was about time to see something. 
But as [Enlightening] was activated, nothing appeared before his eyes.
[Enlightening], which could inspect all things, failed... it could not even identify the name of the bead.
Well, maybe I should ask Ao Yan about this?
Wei Xiao Bei did not look at Ao Yan. He was afraid that [Enlightening] would have negative effects on Ao Yan.
At this moment, Ao Yan was scratching the Dragon Scales on his head. According to him, it was the place where horns would grow, and it was really itchy right now. Ao Yan even wanted to peel off all the Dragon Scales.
But unfortunately, the scales on his head were the most sturdy of all. Even when Ao Yan used all his strength, he could not peel them off. Doing so only helped relieve the itch a bit.
Wei Xiao Bei could not help in relieving Ao Yan's suffering. He could only do something to distract Ao Yan.
Wei Xiao Bei began telling Ao Yan everything that had been happening to him, and this successfully distracted Ao Yan's attention. He glanced at Wei Xiao Bei and said, "I always felt that something bad was going to happen."
"Tell me about the owner of this bead?"
Wei Xiao Bei did not know whether Ao Yan's instinct was accurate either, but he did not sense anything dangerous coming.
"What does the person who gave you this bead look like?"
Ao Yan became very solemn at this moment, as though he matured a little from his painful experience.
"It was an old guy who flew over in the air with a carriage driven with four horses..."
Wei Xiao Bei did not hide anything about this. He described in detail the old man and the carriage.
After hearing Wei Xiao Bei's descriptions, Ao Yan seemed to have confirmed something.
"Just as I thought. The bead has a familiar aura."
Next, Ao Yan shared his guess.
Ao Yan believed that the old man who gave Wei Xiao Bei the bead was Chi Song Zi!
Chi Song Zi?!
Wei Xiao Bei's mind processed the name as soon as Ao Yan said it, and he found the background of the name immediately.
Chi Song Zi was an ancient immortal in the Chinese legends.
He held the title of Zuo Divine South Polar Mountain Daoist, as well as Great-Void Daoist Immortal.
Legend had it that he was the Rain Master during the period of Farmer God. He was immune to fire, storm, and rain were under his command. He was an important guest to West Empress and taught the Farmer God how to extend his life. He also took Farmer God's daughter as his disciple to teach her how to come an immortal.
Chi Song Zi was no ordinary immortal in the Chinese legends.
In fact, one can know how extraordinary he was just by his title: Zuo Divine South Polar Mountain Daoist
"Divine" was the sacred title that was given by Zhou Emperor Ji Fa. Amongst the immortals, those who had the title "divine" were of such a high status that exceeded the imagination of ordinary men. Moreover, "Zuo" was considered supreme.
All in all, this immortal had extraordinary status, but Wei Xiao Bei only knew as much as the Chinese legends recorded it.
"You know Chi Song Zi?"
Wei Xiao Bei remembered Ao Yan having said that the bead was emanating a familiar aura.
"I don't know..."
Ao Yan spoke with slight pain in his expression, as though there was a painful memory. 
This made Wei Xiao Bei a little confused.
However, before Wei Xiao Bei probed further, Ao Yan began to reveal it himself.
The truth is, Chi Song Zi had an identity not known by most people!
Fire Dragon!
Chi Song Z's original form was a Fire Dragon!
And Ao Yan's mother was one of the descendants of Chi Song Zi. Of course, Ao Yan did not know which generation of descendants she was.
This was precisely the reason why after a Fire Jiao Dragon and Dragon King of the West Sea consummated, they gave birth to a true Fire Dragon, Ao Yan.
After Ao Yan was born, troubles came.
Chi Song Zi was an Ancient Rain Master.
What was a Rain Master? An immortal that commanded the storm and rain.
And it was said that the Rain Masters who came after him were all his disciples or grand disciples.
But after the Jaded Emperor took charge of the heavenly court, he set some laws. One of them was to make the Dragon Kings of the Four Seats be fully in charge of storms and rain.
Of course, after this heavenly law was given, the role of Rain Masters still existed, but it was gradually voided. The true authority regarding storm and rain was in the hands of the Dragon Kings.
After knowing that the Fire Jiao Dragon was a descendant of the Ancient Rain Master and if Ao Yan turned out to be like his ancestor, a Fire Dragon, would the Dragon King of the West Sea still treat Ao Yan well?


One day, Wei Xiao Bei gets dragged into The Dust World, a post-apocalyptic world ruled by monsters from myths, legends, games, etc. He also gains the power to travel between it and the real world, as well as the power called the 'Status Panel'. With this power, he chooses to strengthen himself to explore the vast mysteries and terror of the other world. What mysteries await him? What is The Dust World?
Author's Synopsis:
What the hell is this? What the hell happened here?
How did my room become so ruined after a single night?
The floor and table were covered in dust, his new poster of Zhang Liang Ying that had just been posted on the wall a few days ago had already become yellow and tattered all over. Even Zhang Liang Ying’s beautiful face became monstrous as if an old devil was looking at him with a terrifying smile.
The walls were covered by a mist of cobwebs and the fruits placed on top of the coffee table were withered and rotted to the point that the mold on them had turned black. The fruits below even seemed to have turned into mush. The aluminium framed window that the landlord had just installed not that long ago was now covered in a layer of white ash and the glass was filled with cracks and covered in dust.
The computer beside his bed was also covered by cobwebs and was accompanied by an empty water glass with a withered worm inside of it.
Dust filled the air making Wei Xiao Bei choke as he tried to breathe.
Everything seemed to be ash gray without any light as if looking at television static.
After just one night, it seemed like everything in the room had aged for centuries or even millennia.
Mother… is this a dream?
This must be a dream!

Soon, it had been 29 days since the Darkness Invasion in Version 2.0 started. The current situation was that other than the southeastern region of the Legendary continent, all of the other forces had been defeated.
None of the nations, neutral forces, or races could survive in the Darkness Invasion.
Looking at how the situation had developed, not only was the player forum silent, but even the top forces in the nine continents also couldn't believe what was happening.
When the players visited the official website, they immediately saw the most prominent headline on the [Gods] official site. 
It included a list of places affected by the Darkness Invasion. 
And until then, hundreds of names on the list had been blacked out. The only places that glowed were from the southeastern regions.
The City of Dawn was at the top of the list, while the Black Lava Dukedom was second. No one occupied the third place. And beside the names of the top two places, the word 'victory' was clearly written.
How was this possible?
It wasn't as if the other nations lost by a small margin. They had almost been wiped out by the Darkness Invasion!
Hence, other than the southeastern region of the Legendary continent that wasn't controlled by dark creatures, the other names on the list had all fallen prey to the Darkness Invasion. Hundreds of millions of injuries and deaths happened, and the losses were too much to calculate.
But no matter what, by putting up this list, the official website made the Chinese players very proud. 
Of course, the Chinese players knew that they didn't gain any advantage in this Darkness Invasion.
A battle could only be won by the bravest soldiers, and attacking and defending required meticulous planning. Basically, the strongest enemies were dealt with by the NPCs. The City of Dawn had many tricks up their sleeves and trump cards, which was the key to their victory.
Therefore, many posts about the City of Dawn appeared on various forums.
It was because the players seemed to have discovered a problem.
Was it possible that William Blackleaf was not only one of the main protagonists in Version 1.0, but he was also the ultimate protagonist in Version 2.0?
If its contribution in the battle against the Darkness Invasion was to be considered, the City of Dawn was truly worthy of its name! 
One could say that if it had not been for the City of Dawn, the Darkness Invasion would have achieved a complete victory.
Furthermore, someone even asked that if the Lord of the City of Dawn didn't die, would he be the main protagonist in Versions 3.0 and 4.0 too?
There were also people who had other opinions. 
Some of them thought that since the Lord of Dawn was considered as a neutral Lord, he wouldn't be able to grow his power in the mainland continent.
The following versions of the games would surely not take place in the beginner's village. This main protagonist of Version 1.0 and the last main protagonist of Version 2.0 would probably slowly disappear in front of the players.
He would turn out to be a neutral Lord that gradually became mediocre. He would become a part of the players' memories and an idol of the past. Then, he would become someone that even players could bully in the future…
There was nothing wrong with this way of thinking, and even the Chinese players didn't refute much against this opinion. 
They hadn't reached the end stage of the game yet. The Bosses in their own Camp couldn't be replaced that easily. The earlier the main protagonists appeared in the game, the faster they would die.
After all, players leveled up way faster than NPCs!
It could be said that even if William didn't die and could live until the end stage of the game, the City of Dawn would still be taken over by the players. It could only be used as a beginner's village… 
The Chinese forum!
"I'll miss this. Even though there is still some time before Version 3.0 is launched, I feel proud whenever I remember that the City of Dawn is my beginner's village."
"Of course. Hurry and collect more Fire Dragon blood. It is extremely important regardless of whether you want to keep it for your own use or exchange it for broken manual pages. As for contribution points or whatnot, that doesn't matter. Our main aim is to obtain as much of Prince William's assets as we can.
"Anyway, we probably won't stay in the City of Dawn in the next version of the game!"
Many players thought this way.
And not only did the professional players and large guilds know this, but even the average players also knew that the Darkness Invasion was just a prelude. It was a super hard mission that all the players had to go through during their novice period. 
The City of Dawn was just a springboard that provided them with a lot of advantages. Their next stop would be the central part of the continent. It will be the new place where they would take part in storyline missions, as well as side missions. 
As for William?
Sorry, he was just the head of the beginner's village and could be forgotten easily.
It couldn't be helped. The players were pragmatic people… 
…
William didn't feel anything when he saw what the players were doing. After all, other than the Chinese players, players from other continents had also started to come into contact with Grand Duchies. 
The smaller nations had been defeated during the Darkness Invasion, so they had been forced to change their Camp.
There were Camps of various scales.
Your Camp was your best friend, followed by your guild, nation, continent, and then the Light or Dark side depending on which side you were on.
Except for the Dark side, there were countless Camps of various scales.
And a lot of in-fighting happened too.
It was rare for anyone to stay in a Camp for a long time and not change to another Camp mid-game.
The one case where the player stayed would be if that Camp had always been very strong and could evolve with the different versions, continuing to participate in Legendary events that affected the entire continent. 
For example, the Temple of Light, the Palace of Darkness, the Magic Guild, and the Mercenary Guild.
"The City of Dawn's current aim is to become a top force like those mentioned earlier. It's easier said than done, but we'll take it slowly from here." William saw that many players on the forum already had thoughts of going to the Emerald Grand Duchy, but he wasn't too worried.
After all, they were still living in the aftermath of the Darkness Invasion.
The entirety of Version 2.0 was about defending against the Darkness Invasion. The Chinese players were merely getting rid of the dark creatures as William had taken care of the Darkness Invasion Boss. This meant that the Chinese players didn't have as many follow-up storyline missions…
The City of Dawn players had to complete various side missions now. Nonetheless, the missions that William issued often had remarkable rewards in terms of experience points and gold coins. They made huge profits from those missions, so they didn't feel compelled to leave the City of Dawn Camp just yet.
On the balcony, Prince William lay lazily on a rocking chair and muttered, "Crimson Blood!"
Crimson Blood was the main title of Version 3.0. 
However, it was still a long time till Version 3.0. It would take place 2 years after Version 2.0.
After Version 2.0 ended, the players would log off, and the game would update in the meantime. This game word would be left to develop on its own for 2 years. And after the nine continents regained their power, the players would come online again. 
What was 'Crimson Blood' though?
In simple words, the Emerald Grand Duchy had a secret that was hidden very well!
The entire Emerald Grand Duchy, and even the aristocrats, soldiers and professionals in the surrounding Grand Duchies were all vampires.
That was right.
Vampires!
They were a bunch of perverted nobles that survived by sucking their slaves' blood. 
They were born in the first era! 
They had been created from a god-like Blood Dragon. While outsiders called them vampires, they called themselves the Blood Race. They were the Blood Dragon's slaves and descendants. 
At the end of the first era, the time when the Dragon race left the continent, the Blood Race hid themselves in the Gods' continent. Even though rumors of vampires often spread, there were rarely any people who saw them in the flesh. 
This bunch of immortal people was of high status now. They disguised themselves as aristocrats of the human race. Not only were they strong individually, but the forces they led were also extremely powerful!
For example, the Emerald Grand Duchy. Basically, other than the peasants and slaves, most of the Advanced professionals were all vampires…
"What a tough opponent." William felt a headache coming on as he thought about the vampires' abilities. 
Vampires possessed impressive skills, such as escaping in bat form and sucking blood to recover their Health. Even if they didn't suck blood, they had super fast recovery capabilities.
Other than certain Light and Electricity attribute attacks, these guys had no weaknesses.
"It's still a long time until Version 3.0. I can take my time." William massaged his temples. Upon thinking about the Blood Dragon, he suddenly remembered that he had a dragon egg with Moses! 
"Dammit, he couldn't possibly have eaten it?" Prince William stood up abruptly and rushed towards the fortune-telling hut.


This thought had grown deep in William’s mind!
This is the reason for his decision.
He was going to become the strongest NPC ever.
He will have the strongest armor and get beaten badly!
Who said that NPCs will have to be killed by players?
Who said that NPCs will level up slower than players?
Who said that NPCs will only drop equipment on the ground dead? He could drop dead even more… Touch wood!
Anyways, he will not die. With all of you weak players, I wouldn't even furrow my eyebrows once if I stand here and let all of you attack me!

Qin Yi stepped into the fountain; he felt comfortable like never before.
"not to mention immortality, this comfortable feeling huuuh."  Qin Yi, though.
He realized that this eternal spring is not even sprung, but a mixture of individual energies. Simply put, it is a fusion of some mysterious substance and spring water. 
Gradually, Qin Yi felt the energy glittering with light blue and cold light in the spring water and began to flow to his terracotta body.
The feeling of stiffness was quickly dissipating. The soil around his body was melting and collapsing swiftly, and the real face of Qin Yi emerged.
"The mysterious power makes me feel free!"
When he opened his eyes showed vertical pupils.
Then, his body began to change rapidly.
Dark scales emerged in his skin, and his neck extended rapidly. His head, face, were also instantly transformed into a ferocious animal face, long beards grow from both sides of the cheeks, he roared, and long claws and tail appeared and became a complete dragon.
This eternal spring water seems to have stimulated the latent power of the Dragon Emperor's body, activated a fragment of his ancient gene, and completed the process of transformation from the human to Dragon.
A black dragon with a length of ten meters and a thickness of about three meters appeared from the spring to Zi Yuan.
Unlike the Dragon Emperor in the movie, Qin Yi's body was exactly the Chinese Dragon.
The black dragon was showing endless hegemony, dignity.
This is a real behemoth, a horrible beast from mythology; Qin Yi felt as his power is unlimited.
this body can be called invincible in this world.
"Zi yuan, you have the mysterious power of the ancient East. May you help me to unify the world and eliminate injustice in the universe?"
Qin Yi's words shook the entire Shangri-La with its majestic.
"You have got all the power, why do you still need me?"
Zi Yuan said coldly then; she pointed the sword to Qin Yi.
"I think that was a good opportunity."

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Zi yuan.
With a roar, the dragon claws fell violently at Zi yuan, then she raised her sword, but her weak body, even with such martial arts, she couldn't face Qin Yi.
In a loud sound, Zi Yuan's figure was shot and bumped into the wall behind her. blood spread out from her mouth, and she was breathing hard.
"On this strength, you want to stop me?"
With a roar, Qin Yi leaped from Shangri-la up to the snow.
Unlike the Dragon Emperor with his three-headed Western dragon, this is a real Chinese dragon.
General Yang, who was waiting in the snow, heard a roar of a beast, and hurriedly looked up.
Immediately, he saw a legendary black dragon flying, rushing to his direction.
"Dragon!?" everyone panicked.
This kind of ancient god beast only exists in legend, so they were stunned.
The black dragon was speedy, and in a blink of an eye, it has already come to them.
"he is your emperor!"
Qin Yi said with his dragon voice; then, he transformed into his natural body.
"Your Majesty!" General Yang and others were shocked, followed by great joy.
Long Di has such strength, and can also be transformed into the ancient Chinese totem, such power and meaning, he is naturally unequivocal.
We must know that at this time, China had just staggered out of the feudal society, and some old-feudal ideas still exist. to be an emperor who can incarnate Black Dragons represent some symbols to them.
"let's go with the emperor to the ancient tomb, and you follow us with the plane!"
General Yang roared.
Qin Yi turned into a black dragon and took General Yang, and the soldiers have gone back to the plane.
Qin Yi rushed to the sky, flying toward the graveyard.
By this time, he had fallen in love with the feeling of flying with this dragon form.
At this time, Qin Yi was ups and downs in the sea of clouds, playing and having fun(deficient General yang).
He flew from high altitude, crossed thousands of miles, and when he looked down at a colossal statue, he realized that he had arrived.
"In this world, I shouldn't waste time, first unify China, and then expand to the whole world!" then he transformed to his human shape then stand on top of the statue then he pulled out his long sword and pointed it into the sky. His face was cold, and he roared.
"wake up!!!"
the ground crashed down, the terracotta warriors appeared.
Then.
"Boom!"
Sounds of steps, soldiers and horses in shape of terracotta, armed with spears, lances, holding high flags, trampling on the ground, rumbling out, stood in front of Qin Yi. They were solemn and cruel. They are all warriors who have gone through a thousand wars.  
He nodded silently and was satisfied with the quality of the terracotta warriors.

Old Yan was a typical representative of the people who liked watching the fun. If Old Gu still worried if Yang Shuxin was well prepared, Old Yan became happier when he got to know Yang Shuxin and Yuan Zhou would sculpt their own Nine Dragon Sculpture respectively in a competing way. 
"There'll be a good show to enjoy," Old Yan muttered in a low voice. 
Anyway, the ice sculpting started. 
Yang Shuxin had a complete range of carving knives in various models and even the rasps used for polishing. All the tools were placed in a row, which gave people a sense of professionalism. 
On the contrary, Yuan Zhou had only one ordinary kitchen knife in his hand. On the aspect of professionalism, he was a little inferior, but actually, he wasn't defeated at all. His confident demeanor was as if to say "With the kitchen knife in my hand, I can take control of the whole world." 
The carving knife emitted a sound of "Ca Ca" when it flashed across the ice block. Yang Shuxin had started. It was a good-sized carving knife in his hand. He was going to sculpt out the rough contour of the dragons first. 
He got started quickly and boldly. Not long after that, the square ice block turned into an odd irregular polygonal shape.
Of course, it was of odd shape now as Yang Shuxin hadn't started to sculpt the details. With a slight movement of his hand, Yang Shuxin had replaced the good-sized carving knife with a medium-sized carving knife swiftly. The whole course of actions looked as natural and smooth as the floating clouds and flowing water. 
Even the surrounding customers who supported Yuan Zhou couldn't help highly praising the swift action of changing knives. God knows how many years he had practiced to make it appear so smooth and natural. 
Yang Shuxin gradually entered a concentrated state. And naturally, Yuan Zhou was unlikely to stare blankly at him. He also started to sculpt. 
The distinction between an experienced person and an inexperienced one was greater than that between an academic person and an ordinary person, just like Yuan Zhou and Yang Shuxin. 
Yang Shuxin first started with the rough contour of the entire sculpture while Yuan Zhou just began to sculpt the dragons one by one. 
The kitchen knife in his hand was like a silver butterfly that gleamed with a cold light. With its wings flapping for a few times in the air, a long body of the Chinese dragon gradually took shape. 
Everything was going well for both sides, especially with Yang Shuxin. The start was even better than ever. 
"My teacher might actually be able to complete the Nine Dragon Sculpture alone this time." Little Feng was longing for this result at the side. 
"But what exactly is Master Yuan sculpting?" Little Feng looked at Yuan Zhou's ice block and felt he could no longer understand him. If there had been a contour of the dragon, the body of the dragon looked as if it had been cut off now. 
Although the Nine Dragon Sculpture could be nine Chinese dragons in various forms, a broken one was hardly justifiable, as it was way too inauspicious. 
Little Feng was an assistant in name, but he had also learned under Yang Shuxin for many years. Even so, however, he had never seen anybody sculpt in this way. 
That was really a mystery.
As the minutes ticked by, the onlookers were much quieter. However, the number of people didn't become less, but instead, tended to become more and more. 
Some onlookers left, but more joined, just like the mischievous kid who hadn't filmed anything valuable last time. And because of the strict regulations of the Education Bureau, teachers give less homework now than before, which resulted in a lower turnover in the homework business and the tottering of the secondary market. 
It was a competition of sculpting skills today. He could shoot a long film and then split it up before posting it to his live stream, episode by episode. This way, he could get donations from his audiences and earn some money. 
"Teachers are giving less homework, the market is shrinking and the demand is decreasing. So I must film the video very well this time so I can earn some money. When I withdraw the donated money out of my account, I'm going to open up the market to Grade 1 and Grade 3 of the middle schools. Based on the homework that doesn't require thinking but only writing and writing, I will try to open up the third market. In this way, there will be no slow-moving resources and I can build a simulation that completely avoids the NET system." The mischievous kid muttered some technical terms excitedly. 
One hour passed very soon while the mischievous kid was filming the video and the onlookers were watching the fun. By then, the two ice blocks had already taken on the quality of artworks. 
Speaking of Yang Shuxin's sculpture, the bodies of the nine Chinese dragons had all appeared in the eyes of the onlookers. And the sculpting work of the dragon scales had also been finished on four of the nine Chinese dragons. The progress was really gratifying. 
"Shuxin has really exerted himself to sculpt today." Old Gu couldn't help sighing. 
Old Yan nodded his head, "Flying Dragon, Ascending Dragon, In-Cloud Dragon, Coiling Dragon, Curling Dragon, Crouching Dragon, Combating Dragon, Soaring Dragon and finally, the River-Stirring Dragon. None of them is identical. Such a Nine Dragon Sculpture is really of true value." 
From the perspective of the dragon shapes sculpted by Yang Shuxin, the sculpture was simply a dazzling light in most people's eyes, just as mentioned before. Fundamentally speaking, there were only five basic dragon shapes and others were all derived from them. 
Just like the River-Stirring Dragon. On the bottom of the sculpture was a river. The dragon hid its tail in the river and flew up with its head exposed to the air. It was actually the combination of both the Ascending Dragon and Soaring Dragon. 
Most people could understand the difficulties even just by thinking about it. The Nine Dragon Sculpture originally wasn't easy to sculpt, let alone nine dragons in different forms. On Yang Shuxin's Nine Dragon Sculpture, the bottom part was the river while the upper part was the sky and Longpan Mountain. The contents were abundant but not messy. 
"Little Boss Yuan's sculpture is a little difficult to understand," said Old Yan, "But I have to say the head of the Chinese dragon is really nice. It really requires genuine capabilities to be able to sculpt such a complicated and vivid head of Chinese dragon." 
As an inexperienced sculptor, Yuan Zhou started to sculpt the dragon head after he finished the dragon body halfway. 
There were many varieties of dragons in the Chinese legend, like Ying Dragon, Wang Dragon or even Pan Dragon. But actually, the dragons in the Nine Dragon Sculpture were all Xing Dragons. Like the old saying, "The snake evolves into Jiao[1] after it lives for one thousand years; Jiao evolves into Dragons after one thousand years; and Dragons evolves into Xing Dragons after another one thousand years. 
Neither Yang Shuxin or Yuan Zhou spent time and energy on the varieties of the Chinese dragons. So it was also a difficult job to sculpt out the differences between the nine dragons. 
Yang Shuxin used a very ordinary method, which had been used in almost all multi-dragon sculptures. The dragons were differentiated by the eyes, dragon horns and, sizes. For example, the double dragons on the ornamental pillars in the Imperial Palace. They were different in their eyes and sizes. 
When Yuan Zhou thought about this matter yesterday, he felt people seemed to be unable to tell the differences if they didn't observe it carefully. Therefore, Yuan Zhou decided to change another way. 
That was through emotions, including happiness, anger, sorrow, delight, anxiety, longing, sadness, terror, and astonishment. 
Nine emotions. That was right. Of the nine Chinese dragons sculpted by Yuan Zhou, their eyes, dragon horns or sizes were all the same. The only difference was the emotions of the dragons. 
The most common emotion evoked by Chinese dragons was majestic. Nothing else. But Yuan Zhou just wanted to add emotions in the eyes of the dragons. 
So Yuan Zhou's Nine Dragon Sculpture could be considered as Nine Cloud Dragon Lines, or more specifically, A Dragon In The Clouds That Turned Into Nine Dragons. 
Just because they were far from the sculpture and couldn't see it clearly, Old Gu, Old Yan, and other onlookers found it hard to understand. If they stayed closer, they could nevertheless see the emotions in the eyes of the three dragons that were being sculpted. 
For example, one of the dragons had extraordinarily protruding brow ridges; the eyes were big and vigorous; the teeth were slightly open; and the dragon's whiskers moving by itself. That was anger. 
And for the next one, the mouth was a little more curved. That was happiness. 
It had to be admitted that all the nine emotions of the dragons were very hard to tell if they were true or not. The Chinese dragon itself was a fiction, no one had ever seen any. Nor could they imagine what it looked like when it smiled. 
The only disadvantage was that he must imagine all of them alone without any reference. However, everything had two sides. 
If nobody had ever imagined that, Yuan Zhou could do whatever he wanted to create one. 
Nine forms of dragons. Anyhow, Yuan Zhou stayed up all night yesterday once in a blue moon and did nothing but watch Animal World. 
All in all, Yuan Zhou did his utmost today in order to defeat Yang Shuxin.

In a remote oriental country, there is a small and odd restaurant that has refused the three-star rating by the Michelin Guide several times. 
“The price is fairly expensive over there, 288RMB for a set meal of Egg Fried Rice and a bowl of soup. Ah, and an extra small plate of pickled vegetables as well. Even so, there are still a long line of people queuing up and waiting for a taste. Reservations are not accepted there, only waiting and queuing personally is allowed. 
“Numerous people fly there on their private planes just to queue up. Furthermore, parking bays and parking spots are not provided there. The service is terrible here. Customers have to clear the tableware themselves and wipe the table as well. For god’s sake, the boss is literally crazy.”

"What Innumerable Sword Returning to Root?" Gabriel snorted as he thought, If it is really a powerful technique, how come I've never heard of it?
"You can't frighten me with a bluff!" While thumping his chest, Gabriel roared furiously, "I told you that I will let you attack me three times before fighting back! That is set in stone!"
Then, this young man just stood there without the intention of making a move.
"Is this guy stupid?" Jiang Xiaoyue exclaimed.
Was he seeking death? How could a human body be harder than a weapon?
"Don't be so startled and ignorant." The brown-haired young man sitting near Fang Qi smiled and said, "Gabriel is the ultimate genius of our Frost Dragon Family. He was bathed in dragon blood since he was very young and had tempered his body into the legendary Demon Dragon Body. Even the fierce beasts in the big snow mountains can't hurt him, let alone weapons!"
This young man looked proud while he spoke. "Do you understand, Little Girl? His body is more powerful than combat techniques!"
"Oh, is that so?" Jiang Xiaoyue said with a snort, "He said that he will let his opponent attack three times first, but he is using combat technique along the way!"
"…" Blue veins bulged on the forehead of this young man from the Frost Dragon Family.
At this moment, Liang Heihu let out a furious roar on the Martial Dao Field. Intense sword energies swept up while his body emitted radiant sword lights!
When the sword energies swept to his face, Gabriel immediately sensed their overwhelming power. With a grim face, he circulated his warrior qi, covering his body and face with tiny, vague, and dense scales, even though he was in a defensive position.
Gabriel's human features faded away, replaced by a half-human and half-dragon face.
The armor on his body was instantly broken by sword energies, revealing a stretch of dark grey scales on his chest.
Gusts and sword energies swept up in waves. Under Liang Heihu's control, endless bolts of sword energies swept toward Gabriel like a furious dragon.
The bolts of sword energies hit Gabriel's chest, and a series of metal-colliding sounds rang out as if Gabriel was made of metal!
"Hahahaha! Very good!" Gabriel laughed wildly. "Among so many people, you're the first one who could make me feel pain! Although you're one large realm lower than me, you should be proud."
"But if this is all you can do." Gabriel shook his head and said, "It's not enough to challenge me! You are too arrogant!"
The invincible sword energies were bounced off by the dark grey scales that were covered by warrior qi. Then, they landed on the ground, shattering into pieces before these pieces flew in all directions.
"Did you see that?!" The brown-haired young man said proudly, "This is the power of a genius of our Ultimate West Realm!"
It astonished not only Liang Heihu but the other warriors of the Deserted Sea Realm.
"This guy is bit strong…" Song Qingfeng gulped down a big mouthful of iced red tea.
Nalan Mingxue said with a nod, "He's arrogant, but he's got the abilities to back his arrogance."
An Cheng asked, "Can Liang Heihu defeat him? This 'animal' is indeed fierce."
"It's hard to say… he can even block Innumerable Sword Returning to Root?!" Su Tianji gaped at the battle in the Martial Dao Field.
Meanwhile, the warriors of the Ultimate West Realm sitting near Fang Qi began talking among themselves in their own language.
"Gabriel is awesome!"
"Show these warriors of the Spiritual State and the Deserted Sea Realm our strength!"
They had been defeated in a couple of matches, but now they could win back a round.
Sia said calmly, "It seems like I'm right. I don't like Gabriel's personality, but I must admit that he has great abilities."
"Boss." Jiang Xiaoyue pointed at the people who were talking in their own language and said in a huff, "What are they talking about now? Are they badmouthing us?!"
Mr. Fang shrugged. "They are saying…'no zuo no die'."
[TL Note: No zuo no die is a Chinese internet slang.]
"'No zuo no die' What's that?" Jiang Xiaoyue asked in bafflement, "I still don't understand."
"You won't die if you don't seek it," Mr. Fang explained.
"What did you say?!" The warriors of the Ultimate West Realm looked over with dark expressions; they wanted to give Fang Qi a good beating.
The moment they said it, the warriors of the Ultimate West Realm felt their huge swords beginning to shake.
"My sword?!"
"Why did it fly away?!"
"My Rock Hacker!"
"My Steel Breaker!"
Beside them, Sia yelled in alarm as well, "My Blood Thorn!"
Different from cultivators, most warriors carried their weapons with them all the time. Now, these weapons all flew out.
Sia's fierce-looking, double-handed greatsword flew out.
Besides their swords, all the swords that were not inside storage spiritual artifacts clinked and clanked.
While the swords cried, a prolonged dragon-roar-like noise resonated in the sky. Then, all the swords, including the greatswords, the ordinary longswords, the precious swords carried by the warriors, the practice swords on the weapon racks around the Martial Dao Field, and even the black spiritual sword that Nalan Hongwu carried unsheathed themselves!
"This …?!" Mu Qing, Yue Bai, and Li Lanruo were sitting with Jiang Xiaoyue instead of the other disciples of the Heavenly Academy. They yelled in astonishment, "Sir, this is still the initial move of Innumerable Sword Returning to Root, but how come it feels different from before?"
Jiang Xiaoyue had taken out a bag of potato chips and was eating, and she had handed some to her friends. Hearing this, she said, "You didn't watch the TV Series carefully. A moment ago, he used the version that Master No Name showed with 10% of his strength."
Although Liang Heihu had used more than 10% of his strength, he obviously hadn't used his full force.
But now…
Suddenly, Liang Heihu pointed his index and middle fingers at the sky and bent the other hand before his chest. In the sky, many swords rotated around him like a dragon. Then, he yelled, "I'll show you the shocking power of the true Innumerable Sword Returning to Root!"
Liang Heihu shook his arms. Under his control, the many swords in the sky split up and transformed into two fierce dragons.
The dragon-like swords roared fiercely while they shot toward Gabriel with horrifying sword spirit.
Gabriel felt desperate when he saw the huge swords.
Among them were some swords that he was very familiar with. 
Rock Hacker was a sword made with the techniques of the Frost Dragon Family. The star iron in the sword was mixed with a special ancient process and could shatter hard rocks with ease.
Steal Breaker was a sword of the Black Dragon Family. It could instantly break the opponents' weapons when they collided.
Blood Thorn, a huge double-handed sword, was a godly item of the Red Dragon Family. It contained a dragon slaughtering curse from the ancient times and could open hard scales of huge dragons with one touch. Also, each slash could weaken the opponents' strength.
Gabriel couldn't block these three swords, let alone the many sword energies behind them.
At this moment, Gabriel froze while he stared at the storm of swords crashing toward him! He was stupefied!
The elders of the Ultimate West Realm couldn't tend to other things, and they were busy yelling, "Hurry! Hold the swords! Hold them down!"
They just didn't have time to help Gabriel…
He was on his own, and he could only pray for himself.

In the darkness, Lu Shu sat on the stool, watching the Fallen Lizard be consumed by the divine water. During this process, the water was growing rapidly in size.
It was unknown how long the lizard had been trapped here, but the long time had blunted its powers. Otherwise, its defeat would not have been so easy.
The speed of erosion gradually slowed down, as if the Fallen Lizard had mustered all its remaining energy in resistance. Yet, at that instant, the corrosion accelerated again as the resistance faded!
"From the Fallen Lizard's distress, +1000!"
This time, Lu Shu could confirm that the lizard was dead. It proved that his rash decision to venture deep into the cavern was worth it, and his divine water did not let him down either.
If all his magical weapons could be as powerful as the divine water and the chaos snake, Lu Shu would jump in joy. Could he be considered as a lake-level expert now? Even a small lake could still be counted as a lake, couldn't it…
Suddenly, the chaos snake sprang into the divine water from Lu Shu's shoulder. Lu Shu looked at his snake with a pampering smile, as if it was his own son…
In the next instant, however, Lu Shu realized something was wrong and to his surprise, the chaos snake was sucking the divine water, fused with the black fog, into its mouth.
Despite its small build, the divine water was being siphoned into its tiny mouth at an incredible speed!
"Wait a minute!" Lu Shu jumped to his feet in astonishment. "What are you doing!"
He rushed forward to catch the snake, but the latter avoided him agilely in the water while continuing the siphoning…
In less than ten minutes, Lu Shu's divine water had shrunk back to the size of a swimming pool, and the snake showed no sign of stopping!
Lu Shu hurled his stool towards the snake, but it was soon corroded by the divine water too…
Lu Shu roared in desperation, "I just praised you! Why can't you take compliments? Don't you dare copy other holy artifacts! Can you please be more reliable?"
"Stop! Save some for me!"
"Hey! I said STOP!"
"Damn you…"
What about the lake-size divine water? What about setting up his stage wherever he was? That was so unexpected!
The chaos snake continued siphoning the water like a black hole. At this moment, Lu Shu noticed that the snake scales were getting clearer, and its fangs sharper.
In the next second, the snake suddenly grew in size, and a pair of horns emerged from its head.
It seemed that claws were breaking out of its skin too. The chaos snake was undergoing an internal transformation of its body!
Finally, there were no drops of the divine water left, but the chaos snake seemed to be in agony and unable to complete its transformation. Lu Shu gasped in shock.
Brother, don't die!
At this moment, a white figure flew out of the Cheng Ying sword in Lu Shu's grip. Hai Gongzi hovered midair, his gaze on the chaos snake cold as ice. "The blood of the evil dragon."
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. "Don't you dare attack it! Lay a finger on it and you are my enemy!"
In Lu Shu's opinion, Hai Gongzi, a pure-blood descendant of the dragons, would definitely despise the chaos snake, who had the so-called "blood of the evil dragon". Hence, he was genuinely worried if the life of his snake would be ended under Hai Gongzi's sword.
Yet, he was certain that the chaos snake was changing into a dragon!
What was a dragon? The most sacred creature in the ancient Chinese mythology. Be it a Panlong or an evil one, Lu Shu would be one of the most powerful practitioners in the world if he had a dragon.
In reality, Hai Gongzi did not draw his sword against what Lu Shu had expected. Instead, he picked a purple lotus petal from between his brows and let it float towards the snake.
Upon contact with the petal, Lu Shu could sense that the snake was finally freed from its struggle. Horns and four legs emerged from its skin, but there were only four talons on each leg.
Lu Shu was silent for a long moment. "So you helped it because you were getting impatient?"
Hai Gongzi cast Lu Shu a frosty stare.
"From Ao Hai's distress, +999!"
Lu Shu fought hard against his urge to laugh. My friend, your OCD is incurable…
"Speaking of which, in your world, aren't evil dragons bad? Why did you help it?" Lu Shu asked curiously.
"The internal matters of our Dragon Clan are none of your human beings' business. You call it bad? Is good and bad absolute in this world? Ignorant," Hai Gongzi taunted.
Then Lu Shu understood. The Dragon Clan was a rather close family, and even evil dragons were still dragons, just like distant relatives were still considered relatives…
"There are two types of Jiaolong[1]. After years of cultivation, they will develop into either evil spirits or dragons. If one chooses the latter, it will have to undergo a tougher journey. Hence, the majority opts for the former. Therefore, why shouldn't I help it, if it has the courage and was only one step away from completion?" Hai Gongzi said, followed by a sneer, "But, you…"
"Right, understood." Lu Shu summoned Hai Gongzi back into the sword before he could finish speaking. He had had enough of Hai Gongzi's arrogant face.
But Lu Shu could not understand why the transformation into a dragon was more difficult. Didn't his snake do so simply by siphoning his divine water?!
Now, it seemed inappropriate yet again to call it "the chaos snake", and "Chaos" would be a better name. Things were constantly changing and Lu Shu could never predict what was going to happen next. In order to save the trouble of renaming the snake, it would be better to dwell on an easier name… Lu Shu observed Chaos, whose snake skin was cracking bit by bit, and it had been fast asleep since the reception of the petal.
Lu Shu recalled Chaos to his Seal of Lands for its slow transformation, and he was ready to get out of the cavern.
Walking forward, Lu Shu eyed the remaining four golden pillars, wondering if they were magical weapons that could trap anyone he wanted to.
At this moment, Lu Shu heard thunder rumbling overhead. It was so loud that he could feel the thunder rolling over his heart.
All of a sudden, everyone on the ground saw a flash of purple, dragon-looking lightning, striking towards the surface. It was the most magnificent they had ever seen.
Chen Zuan mumbled after a moment of shock, "Don't tell me Brother Shu has been struck by lightning because of karma!"
