"Of course, it was Fish Leong who gave me the courage." Wu Yu made a joke in a half-dead tone, then pushed himself up and turned into a bent-leg sitting position.

Even though the evil dragon stopped in time, Wu Yu did not let his guard down. He only dared to joke with the other party to ease his tense mood.

The dragon didn't understand who Wu Yu was talking about, but he didn't insist. Instead, he calmly said, "If you don't want to say, that's fine. For a dying dragon like me, there aren't many things in this world that can truly interest me anymore."

"Thank you so much," Wu Yu replied insincerely.

After the fierce battle just now, Wu Yu felt that he had lost the chance to grovel. His plan to pretend to be a nobody and make the arrogant dragon ignore him had been ruined by the system. Now Wu Yu could only try to get along with the dragon in a friendly manner according to his own nature.

"I thought you were just a descendant of an old friend, but I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise. Although I don't know how you did it, you were able to comprehend the power of laws before you even cultivated battle qi. This is almost equivalent to crossing the threshold of sainthood ahead of time. When you cultivate to the sixth level of perfection, you will naturally become a seventh-level legend. It's a talent that makes people envious."

The evil dragon then began to praise Wu Yu as if he were an elder.

"Thank you for your kind words," Wu Yu replied casually. Although he didn't show it on his face, he completely looked down on this evil dragon in his heart.

With its eyesight, it's probably about as good as blind.

Wu Yu knew perfectly well that he had already missed the optimal period for cultivation, and coupled with his practically garbage talent, whether he could even become a third-tier professional in this lifetime depended entirely on luck. Forget about being able to directly advance from sixth to seventh tier; even if you told me I could become a god at sixth tier, I'd just laugh it off.

The funniest thing is that they actually said he was a descendant of someone from the past. But Wu Yu is a time traveler! If he were a descendant of someone from this world, Wu Yu would have swallowed the sword, blade and scabbard, together.

"Then tell me, which of your old friends am I descended from?" Wu Yu asked casually out of curiosity.

"No, I misjudged it." The dragon shook its huge head and said with some regret.

"I remember we hadn't even met when you called me, so how did you misjudge me?" Wu Yu continued to complain, seemingly courting disaster.

Since we've already started chatting, shouldn't we at least let him know before we make a move? As long as he doesn't get instantly killed, Wu Yu isn't afraid of anyone.

"Heh heh, kid, an eighth-tier epic isn't as simple as you think. The entire mountain range is within my domain, and I know exactly what's going on in it," the dragon replied arrogantly.

Holy crap, an eighth-tier epic item even has its own radar! What's the point of that treasure hunter? He was discovered before he even entered the cave!

If things go well later, I'll have this big shot pinpoint Violet's location; that would save me some trouble.

"Then how did you come to think of me as a descendant of your old friend?" Even though Wu Yu thought the evil dragon had simply misjudged him, it was still better to confirm such a question that was so closely related to him.

“Black hair and black eyes—only my close friend Ji Tiandao’s direct descendants would possess such physical characteristics in this world. Although you share similarities with him in terms of bloodline, you are not of the same origin. I only discovered this difference after you got closer,” the evil dragon explained.

Ji Tiandao? Wu Yu had been a little concerned when Jack mentioned this name last time, but because the situation at the time was not suitable for asking more questions, he had to keep his doubts to himself.

Upon hearing the evil dragon mention him, Wu Yu couldn't help but boldly guess that this legendary Ji Tiandao might be his predecessor from the time traveler world.

"I heard that he and his friends killed the Demon King. What happened to him after that?" Wu Yu was still very concerned about this character who was related to his time travel.

"He perished not long after returning to the human realm?" the dragon said indignantly.

"Seriously injured and died?" Wu Yu guessed.

"No, he committed suicide." The dragon's voice choked slightly as he said this, as if the past ten thousand years had not yet allowed him to let go of this matter.

"Suicide? Why would he commit suicide?" Wu Yu exclaimed in shock. This was the only outcome he couldn't understand or accept.

"I don't know. I was already here before he went to fight the Demon King. My friend brought me the news of his suicide." The dragon's words were filled with a deep sense of powerlessness. He had the power to burn mountains and boil seas, but he couldn't help his best friend when he died.

"Ten thousand years have passed, and my old friends have all become figures in history. Even if he hadn't committed suicide back then, he would have died of old age by now. Even I, this old dragon, am nearing my end, while the Demon King has been reborn. I really don't know if everything I did back then was truly meaningful?" the evil dragon couldn't help but sigh.

“What you decide to do, whether right or wrong, is meaningful to you,” Wu Yu replied, but his words sounded like both comforting a dragon and convincing himself.

Wu Yu was a little frustrated that he hadn't found out the truth about Ji Tiandao's death, but he wouldn't dwell on it for long. He chose to ask a more important question: "You invited me in for a chat, so what is it that you really want to tell me?"

The evil dragon glanced at Wu Yu and replied, "I originally thought you were a descendant of Ji Tiandao, and as an elder, I wanted to give you a small gift."

"So you're not planning to send it now?" Wu Yu asked nonchalantly.
