Chapter 277 Life
"You kept him in a safe place just to let him die?" Lu Yi asked back.
"Is it not possible? Does my not wanting it to live conflict with my wanting it to die with dignity?"
"Of course this is not a conflict, but do you really want it to die?"
As Lu Yi spoke, he put the mountains of treasures around him back into the space ring.
“I once read in a book that dragons need the breath of their parents to hatch, but if they unfortunately lose their parents, they can barely hatch successfully by nurturing with the breath of other members of the same race.
"The aura on this dragon egg belongs to you, senior. I just don't know if this is your egg or an egg you picked up."
"What do you care whether this is my egg or not?" the dragon said indifferently.
"Then it seems that this is the egg that Senior picked up." Lu Yi said confidently, "Although I can't determine the exact age of this egg, I can sense the deep and shallow auras belonging to Senior on this dragon egg... nearly a hundred.
“Perhaps Senior really didn’t want him to live, but Senior also didn’t want him to die, otherwise he wouldn’t have been so entangled in repeatedly nurturing the dragon egg to keep him alive.
"If I'm not mistaken, Senior will inject breath into the dragon egg again in a few days, right?"
"Your perception is correct, but your guess is wrong." The dragon said calmly, "This time, I am not going to inject it with breath again. The place where you found it is the cemetery I chose for it."
There is the best scenery of Long Island, where you can see the most beautiful flowers and the first rays of the morning sun...
"Is that so... the extinction of the tribe is an established fact, so there is no point for him to be born again and continue to live - is that what you think, senior?" Lu Yi speculated.
"Isn't it? Boy, don't try to change my mind. You will never understand my feelings!"
Lu Yi smiled, looked at the cleared surroundings and slowly stretched.
"I've actually said it many times. I really don't want to use force until the last step, but the arrogance of the senior is just as great. I can't help but take action..."
Lu Yi held his right wrist with his left hand and moved the wrist joint with his right hand.
"What do you mean—Ouch!"
The dragon's voice suddenly stopped, and then turned into a painful howl.
Lu Yi punched the dragon's soft belly mercilessly. The seemingly soft and harmless white fist made a small concave hole in the dragon's belly.
The dragon only felt a pain in a corner of his abdomen that made him lose consciousness, and he felt dizzy and saw stars.
Lu Yi smiled kindly.
"Please listen carefully to what I'm going to say next, because you'll be tested on it."
"I can't understand your feelings. Can you fully understand the feelings of this unborn little dragon? What? Did the little dragon tell you in your dream that he doesn't want to live anymore?"
As Lu Yi said this, he punched down again heavily.
“Ah!!!” the dragon cried out in pain.
"Just because we are of the same race, you arrogantly decide the life and death of Xiaolong. Don't you think you are arrogant?"
“Ah!!”
"I don't want to discuss the topic of life and hope with you. How can a life that has decided to die still believe in hope? Oh, you represent a race that is about to die. I'm afraid you will not accept the concept of inheritance, right?"
“Ouch!”
"There are only two people who can decide whether a life will come into being. The first is his biological parents, and the second is himself. Please allow me to say something unpleasant. Senior, which category are you? What do you think you are?"
“Ah——”
The giant dragon was hit by several heavy punches and completely lost its pride, staring at the sky with blank eyes.
Lu Yi twisted his tired hands and asked softly, "Senior, do you know the parents of the dragon egg? Did they also sentence the little dragon to death? The dragon egg is still alive under such circumstances. I think there is no need to doubt his desire to be born."
The dragon did not answer, but the scene of his old friend entrusting him with the egg emerged in his mind.
That kind of cherishment and love is so vivid and clear when Julong recalls it even after many years.
This egg was born wrapped in love.
The dragon couldn't deny this fact.
His silence had already given Lu Yi the answer.
Lu Yi sighed, "I know that Senior feels that bringing Xiaolong to this world where his race is dying out may be a very painful and cruel thing for him.
"But Xiaolong may not even know what pain is now. He has never touched this world himself. All he has is just this narrow, tiny eggshell.
“Perhaps the senior’s actions saved him from future pain, but they also wiped out all of Xiaolong’s possibilities.
"Please forgive me for not being able to accept this approach. Perhaps this is the biggest difference between humans and dragons. At least in the human race, even at the last moment, they will not lose hope for life. Children are the beginning of all hope and a legacy that will never be broken until the last moment."
The dragon's pupils trembled slightly, as if touched, but he still said stubbornly: "So what? Since his parents handed him over to me, I naturally have the right to decide his life or death!"
His attitude has begun to soften, Lu Yi thought.
"Yes, although I don't want to admit it, you are indeed... I just feel sorry that he has not seen this world yet... Can you sense Dragon Island in the eggshell? Can you feel every flower and tree here, the rising and setting of the sun and the moon?"
Lu Yi stretched out his hand, and Ares passed the dragon egg to him. Lu Yi took the egg, turned around and placed it on the dragon's soft belly.
"Enough!" the dragon shouted in a low voice.
Lu Yi said to himself: "Being forgotten is the real complete extinction, and this is also the meaning of history and inheritance.
"I have a proposal. If you allow me, please let me send someone to compile a historical biography of the dragon race. This history book of the dragon race will be treasured in the royal library of the new victorious empire, and every bard who passes by the new victory will sing the glory of the dragon race."
The dragon didn't say anything, but Lu Yi felt 80% relieved.
If the dragon race was really willing to disappear in the river of history, how could they have preserved the magic circle and even continuously teleported people to Dragon Island?
The dragon's inner desire may never disappear, even if it is suppressed by death, but with just a little push, the flame will rekindle and burn out a grand light.
Lu Yi keenly felt that the breath of the giant dragon on the dragon egg in front of him was becoming stronger again.
"...You take him away."
The dragon whispered, and his voice dissipated into the wind.
Lu Yi's eyes lit up.
"I have placed all the treasures of the dragon clan in the west. The barrier will not stop you if you hold the dragon egg. However, you can only take one."
Lu Yi immediately picked up the dragon egg and put down the space ring.
The giant dragon sneered and said arrogantly: "Take it away. The treasures accumulated by the dragon clan are beyond your imagination. I don't even care about these things."
Lu Yi immediately took back the ring.
The dragon doesn't like him, but he has a country to support now, so he has to save as much as possible.
Lu Yi jumped off the dragon's belly with the dragon egg in his arms.
"The aura I left behind is enough for him to break out of his shell... The moment he breaks out of his shell, he will receive the inheritance of the dragon clan. He will tell you everything about the dragon clan's history."
"Take him with you to see the world."
"Okay, in the name of Lu Yi Victor, I swear to you that I will take him to see the world." Lu Yi raised his hand and swore, saying seriously.
The magic circle that bound the dragon disappeared, and the dragon turned over and lay on the ground.
"Go ahead. You don't need me to tell you where the west is, right?"
Lu Yi shook his head and walked to Ares holding the dragon egg.
They walked towards the west, and Lu Yi suddenly turned back and asked:
"Senior, may I have the honor of knowing your name?"
The giant dragon waved its tail lazily, thought for a moment, and finally fulfilled Lu Yi's wish.
"My name is Elio."
Elio represents hope.
"Elio, do you want to come with us to see this world? The world outside Dragon Island?"
Elio didn't answer. He stretched his neck and stared at the sky, as if he was looking at something through the blue sky.
After a long while, he said, "No."
"Dragon Island is the most beautiful world."
This was also the burial place he chose for himself.
That best place was just right for him to use since Xiaolong couldn't use it, Elio thought.
"Okay." Lu Yi didn't persuade him anymore.
"Goodbye, senior!"
"Goodbye! You annoying human boy!"
…
The last piece of the divine fragment is obtained.
857 was howling in Lu Yi's mind like an uncivilized monkey, the most annoying kind of wild mountain monkey.
[Success! Success! Victory! Great victory!] 857 said excitedly, [Who is standing in front of you now? A quasi-god! Let us cheer for His birth! Lu Yi! Lu Yi! Lu Yi! ! ! !]
【"Shut up."】
【嘤.】
Lu Yi looked at the system panel in silence.
【Name: Lu Yi】
【Gender: Male】
[Race: Human-merman hybrid/demigod]
[Identity: King of the New Victory Empire]
[Scope of influence: New Victory Empire]
[Godhead: The godhead of the dark god who controls darkness and night (not equipped), the broken fragment of the godhead of the light god who controls hope and dawn (5/5) (to be cast)]
[God’s Position: (None)]
【Current main task (optional):
Lead the New Victory Empire to the pinnacle (unselected) / Become the first god after Ragnarok (unselected)]
Lu Yi didn't expect that he had gathered all the fragments of the godhead so easily and so uniquely.
It was simply unbelievable to him.
Lu Yi stretched out his hand in a trance, and a ball of bright white light appeared on his palm.
This is the divinity of Chaos, the God of Light.
Ares held the dragon egg and looked at him tenderly.
A shadow gradually emerged on the ball of light.
Chaos was horrified and said, "Shenshan! You have a child?!"
Lu Yi was speechless and asked back: "Why do you think we can lay a dragon egg?!"
Chaos blinked his eyes and said happily: "I allow your union! Please get married now, right here."
Lu Yi was completely defeated by his random reply and said helplessly: "Do you want to be the witness?"
"Great!" Chaos said happily, "It was a pity that I didn't serve as the witness at Maria's wedding. Today, can I finally make up for this regret before the fragment's divine consciousness dissipates?!"
Lu Yi watched as His figure became increasingly transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his words of rebuttal were stuck in his throat, unable to come out.
On the edge of Dragon Island, somewhere in the world.
A vanishing god presided over a sudden wedding for them.
Lu Yi knew that this sounded ridiculous, but it really happened.
Without any advance preparation or arrangement, there was a god who was about to disappear completely, an incarnation of a god in the world, a quasi-god who was still a human, and, well, an egg.
That's all there is to this simple wedding.
Chaos asked earnestly: "Lord God, are you willing to sign a divine covenant with the Lord God beside you? Share all the joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, as well as the divine nature and power, with Him from now on, until the end of the sacred mountain?"
"I do." Ares held Lu Yi's hand.
"Okay, then Lord God, are you willing to sign a divine covenant with the Lord God beside you? Share all your joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, as well as your divine nature and power, with Him until the end of the sacred mountain?"
Lu Yi shook Ares' hand back, "I do."
"Very good! You can now kiss each other's souls--"
Before he finished speaking, Chaos disappeared.
857 consciously took over the unfinished process and screamed along with his words: [The newlyweds can kiss each other! ! Kiss——]
The author has something to say:
If nothing unexpected happens, there should be only two chapters left in the main text [burst into tears]
