"Proud Rankodos, haven't we seen you somewhere before...?"

Lankodos didn't give it much thought and just blurted it out—after all, dragons don't really like to use their brains.

Quan Ji narrowed her eyes. In this life, she had not yet met Lankodos. After all, in her previous life, she had only met him when a large group of human gods killed Lankodos in a weakened and berserk state, and agreed to his request.

Therefore, Quan Ji subconsciously thought that Lancodos was saying "Emperor": "I am the Emperor."

“Proud Ranchodos knows you are.” Ranchodos nodded, then shook his head: “But I remember… I’ve seen you before, not as the Emperor.”

Quan Ji was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

Lancodos himself couldn't remember: "I don't know, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before, but I can't remember where."

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore... Young Miss, why would you need to extract the Dragon Heart of our Dragon Clan? What if you damage it?"

He shrunk his size to avoid feeling cramped, and scratched his head with his claws on the seabed, completely baffled.

Quan Ji said, "Without extracting the Dragon Heart, could you have come from Aegis?"

Rankodos: "Oh right! But why did you bring the proud Rankodos here?"

Quan Ji's eyes darkened: "The Abyss has returned, and the Noah Continent is once again facing a crisis, requiring the help of top-tier combat forces."

That's one point. Another point is that she accomplished what she had promised to do in her previous life: to revitalize the dragon race.

Upon hearing this, Lankodos's golden eyes widened in shock.

"What?! That thing is back again!"

"Oh wait... why does the proud Rankodos say 'again,' when 'coming back' clearly doesn't include the first time?"

The more it thought about it, the stranger it felt. It felt as if it had experienced the abyss again and again. Maybe it had gone crazy from sleeping in Aiger.

Never mind, never mind.

“Young lady, the dragon race is now reduced to only one dragon, the proud Lankodos. The proud Lankodos is naturally willing to help you, but... I estimate the effect will be minimal. If you, young lady, can entrust the Dragon Heart to the proud Lankodos, then... the proud Lankodos can use the Dragon God's secret technique to completely revive the dragon race.”

It had actually set its sights on the Heart of the Dragon long ago. If it were anyone else, it would have already started snatching it, but this was the young lady, and there was a large group of supreme gods of the first rank beside her. Although it was proud and powerful, comparable to a god, it was not so presumptuous.

Quan Ji exhaled: "What do you think my purpose was in bringing five dragon hearts to you?"

Rankodos blurted out almost instinctively, "Didn't you promise me that?"

"..."

"What did you say?!" Quan Ji's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but frown.

Lankodos blinked, wishing he could slap himself on the head: "I don't know what I'm saying either, Miss, just pretend I farted."

Why would it have such a strange thought in its head that "this is what the young lady promised it"?

Quan Ji knew that Lankodos's brain was just for spewing dragon breath, and she didn't expect to learn anything from it.

But—Lankodos's behavior today was as if he remembered memories from a past life.

Has Ranchodos also been reborn?

But if it were reborn, it couldn't possibly not know how it ultimately died.

Quan Ji pursed her lips and began to think.

Meanwhile, Kannazuki stared intently at Konji, her eyes revealing a deep sadness and longing, a bitter smile playing on her lips.

Of course, no one saw that expression.

At this moment, the dragon Lankodos excitedly said, "In that case, please, young lady and all the gods, lend me your help to perform the awakening ceremony for these five dragon hearts."

Quan Ji was taken aback: "How long will it take at the fastest? We are very pressed for time."

Lankodos was also embarrassed: "This ritual will take at least a day... and the five people must continuously input energy during this time in order to awaken the dragon's heart... and revive the dragons."

Quan Ji frowned, but after thinking about it, she realized that at present, they did not know where Scorpio had landed. If they wanted to quickly add strength to the fight against the abyss, awakening the dragon race at this time was the most cost-effective option.

Quan Ji and the other three glanced at each other and all nodded.

"Okay, we'll help you... as soon as possible."

That's all she could say.

The four humans and one dragon stood before the five dragon hearts. Lankodos' powerful energy created a huge array on the ground, within which the powerful energy was contained within a certain area.

The group began channeling energy into the five dragon hearts.

...

At this time, the war situation on the Noah continent was not very good.

Tier 3 empires have begun to be destroyed in large numbers, and Tier 4 empires are also suffering enormous losses.

The gods' situation is not good either; some gods have begun to fall, returning energy to the continent to replenish everything that the continent lacks.

Some gods still stand high in the heavens, fiercely resisting and fighting against their opponents.

The four main battlefields of the Noah Continent were also guarded by the four supreme gods of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Although the enemy gods had no soul or thought, they were difficult to suppress due to the protection of the abyss energy and their large numbers.

Moreover, at times like these... they have too many concerns. On one hand, they need to protect their territory, and on the other hand, they need to fight without affecting the people—unlike the enemy gods who have lost all ability to think and can kill without restraint.

Moreover, these gods, five hundred years ago... were all gods who, like them, protected this land.

The four supreme gods resisted, and Quan Chengying, after sharing Han Yin's divine essence, also resolutely stood up to fight alongside the gods.

On the ground, people fought against the Abyss Order, and the Legion suffered the most heavy losses against these cultists with terrifying power.

But in order to protect the nation's borders behind them, every legion is fighting fiercely!

They knew full well their situation and that their inevitable end was death.

They were afraid, they were terrified, but they were still brave!

Because they knew they had no way out, all they could do was let their families and the people they were protecting hold out!

"For the continent of Noah! For the people of my empire!"

They chanted this slogan over and over again, emphasizing that they could not fall down or back down!

They wanted to kill all the invaders with their own swords, block their path with their own corpses, and pierce their will with their own bones!

They are warriors! Warriors of the Empire! Warriors of the Noah Continent!

"For the continent of Noah! For the people of my empire!"

"The gods are with me!!"
