Chapter 59
Unlike other people who could only see the pictures, Lu Mi's will was brought into those passing scenes.
He was completely immersed in the scene—
Lu Mi stood in a chaotic world, and he saw that this area originally had nothing.
It was more desolate and deader than other areas.
If I have to say, it is very similar to the space channel he came from. He can vaguely hear the sound of the tide, but looking down, it is all thick fog and even the wind cannot be felt.
Until one day, three rays of light appeared.
One from the sky, one from the earth, and one from the ocean.
They transformed into three giant dragons, holding up the sky and stomping on the earth. Their left claws lifted up towering mountains, and their right claws swung out mountains, rivers, and seas.
The ocean transformed into a giant dragon, circling Lu Mi. It spoke in a deep voice, "In the distant past, we nourished this land with our own power. Among them, a school of fish absorbed the scattered power, and gave birth to the first sea race..."
So the creature, which was originally just an ordinary fish, broke out of its cocoon and became a butterfly in the process of continuous evolution, and became what it is today with a human body and a fish tail.
Similarly, alien species of various forms appeared on the earth, and soaring birds and winged creatures appeared in the sky.
This long period of time seems to pass in the blink of an eye in the image, but the actual time it takes is more than ten thousand years.
This could be described as a heart-wrenching story of the creation of the world. Lu Mi's eyes flickered slightly, "So, you are the original ancestors of the creatures in the Eastern Region?"
"That's understandable," the deep voice replied.
"And what happened next?"
The people on the other side could only see the silver-eyed young man's lips moving, as if he was talking to the dragon. However, no one could hear what they were talking about.
It seemed that it was a conversation they could not interrupt, but in fact, the handover of the "gods" between the old and new generations was indeed an occasion they could only look up to.
"Then one day, we had a premonition that we had received an opportunity for 'ascension'. I abandoned my physical body, allowing the body that came from the sea to return to the ocean. The other two did the same."
"It's biological death."
"That's true, but we are nothing more than a wisp of wind, a drop of water, a speck of dust. The longer we live, the more we feel our bodies weariness, and the more we yearn for spiritual freedom..."
"So where have your souls gone now?"
"Who knows? I'm just a remnant of consciousness. Maybe it's gone to a higher plane. Maybe every drop of water in the ocean is it."
The Sea Dragon looked at the young man thoughtfully and said slowly, "Newborn god, your birth and existence are clearly different from ours. The three original dragons are one, yet you are alone. I originally thought that this era was too harsh on newborns, but..."
Its tone seemed to instantly carry a touch of elder's concern and curiosity.
"Hmm?" Lu Mi waited curiously for what it would say next.
But the dragon simply shook its head. "Well, every god's existence is unique, born from a miracle that is one in a million... The mountains, rivers, and seas couldn't hold us back, so how could the stars hold back the sun?... I really want to witness it."
The creatures in the world want to retain the almighty gods, but will the gods stay for them in the end?
Lu Mi didn't care about the other party's unfinished question and asked, "So what's going on with the Tower of God now? They all say that the Sky Dragon is still alive."
"...That's why I called you here." The dragon's tone suddenly became sharp.
The surrounding sea water vibrated slightly, as if it sensed the dragon's anger that emerged and then suppressed.
The dragon's body rose and fell slightly, and it exhaled, "It was when our physical bodies were about to die, and the sky dragon was about to return its body to the sky, but was bitten by a dormant venomous snake."
"Venomous snake?"
"The dragon race you know is born from the combination of our purer power and the mountains, rivers, and seas. Therefore, their strength far exceeds that of other races in the Eastern Region. That poisonous dragon swallowed a piece of the Sky Dragon's flesh and blood."
Originally, this kind of injury was probably just a scratch on the Sky Dragon's skin, especially when it deliberately shed its dragon scales and released its defenses.
But it was at this time that a "flaw" appeared in the return ceremony.
"That poisonous dragon assumed the identity of the Sky Dragon and became a false god. It later claimed that two of the three gods had passed away, and as the Sky God, it remained alone out of gratitude for the kindness of the people of the Eastern Territory."
"The return ceremony, which was never completed, has caused the skies of the Eastern Region to be covered in dark clouds ever since. The false god feared that the True God's followers, who would soar into the heavens, would notice something was amiss, so he used the power gained from his flesh and blood to seal off the entire Eastern Region's airspace, preventing any living creatures from ever flying again."
In fact, the dragon omitted a lot of content. For example, during the millennia, there were still keen followers who discovered something was wrong, and there were creatures who saw the truth and bravely stood up, but the gods - even the despicable imposters who only obtained a trace of the residual power of the gods, were enough to suppress those voices.
"Why does that false god collect souls?" Lu Mi suddenly asked.
"Lifespan and strength," the dragon hissed. "To him, that piece of flesh and blood is like molten lava in a paper cup. His body cannot bear it. He must rely on the purest soul to quench his thirst, barely relieving a moment of pain."
Lu Mi nodded, "I understand."
Seeing this, the dragon seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his expression suddenly relaxed. "Then I'll entrust the Eastern Region to you."
“…” Lu Mi said nothing. He was used to it.
The dragon suddenly sighed with emotion, "We were created to circulate the power of heaven, earth, and sea, and now you have to put an end to it. It's really... too embarrassing."
"Do you have anything else to ask? As a remnant of consciousness, I can't easily leave this place. If you need help within the sea, please feel free to ask."
At this time, everyone could finally hear the conversation between the two.
Although the scenes from the past that they had just seen were shocking enough, they now wanted to know more about what Lu Mi was going to do.
Lu Mi, who had originally planned not to say anything, could not help but ponder. He lowered his eyes for a moment and suddenly asked, "Do you know of any good materials for forging weapons?"
That false god was a genuine dragon. Rather than using magic attacks, Lu Mi felt that he preferred real swords and guns with strong penetrating power.
It has been like this since ancient times when dragons were slayed.
The dragon was slightly startled. It was silent for a moment, then said, "Would you mind using one of the heart-protecting scales I shed in the past?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Especially the sea people, they obviously know what the heart-protecting scale means.
Those are the hardest and most important scales on a dragon's body. Even if they are shed, they will never be given to others easily.
But Lu Mi didn't know much about the dragon race. "Can it withstand my power?"
The dragon seemed to smile. "It's enough to be your sharp blade, to sweep away thousands of enemies for you."
"Then I'll be looking forward to it."
The dragon then told Lu Mi the location of the east and west, and said, "If you obtain it, you can go to a volcano in the west. There is a cluster of heart fire left by the earth dragon, which is perfect for tempering."
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, and they were speechless.
They also knew about the volcano. For thousands of years, no one had been able to approach it because of the hellish fire there, which was said to be the flame that the Earth Dragon used to burn himself when he died, and it could melt everything.
The scales of the Sea God are as important as his heart, the most stunning flame in the life of the Earth God, plus the power of Lu Mi himself as the new god... What is he going to create?
I don't know why, but I suddenly began to sympathize with the target that was about to be attacked!
Lu Mi quickly took action.
After bidding farewell to the dragon, they were sent out of the underwater palace.
But the group did not leave, but continued to follow Lu Mi anxiously. They wanted to witness everything that happened next, but they were also conflicted about what might happen next.
In fact, the more sensitive members of the Celestial Clan had already vaguely guessed part of the truth, and an unconcealable look of shock and confusion appeared on their faces.
Lu Mi didn't pay any attention to them, but went directly to an island in the middle of the sea as the dragon said.
Here, Agare had just been rescued by his subordinates and was half-sitting on the island, coughing awkwardly.
“Ahem…”
"Traitors, get out of the sea!" Another group of sea creatures patrolling this sea area were glaring at Agare and others.
Gray Crow then explained, "The sea creatures who swore allegiance to the tower traded their fish tails for legs. From then on, whenever they touched the sea, they would be unable to move until they sank to the bottom of the sea. Other sea creatures believed they were rejected by the Sea God, and therefore called them 'traitors.'"
Agare was also surprised to see Lu Mi appear, but he still held on and explained to the others: "The God of the Sky does not have the power of the sea. They were once a trinity of gods. In order to leave our last god, walking from the ocean to the ground is a necessary sacrifice!"
Obviously, Agare is a person who firmly believes in the existence of God and is willing to sacrifice everything for his faith.
...What a pity.
Lu Mi sighed imperceptibly, perhaps because people who were battle maniacs were more persistent.
The other party wanted to retain the only "God" in the Eastern Region, but they didn't know that the God had already been replaced.
At this time, the sea creatures that were confronting them also fell into hesitation——
"Trinity"—yes, the three gods have held a unified will since ancient times. But precisely because of this, when the first sea creature to reach the tower was rejected by the sea upon his return, everyone became confused.
But they don't know whose voice to listen to, and this confusion has continued to this day in a contradictory way.
Agare certainly knew the reason. Although he made the choice, he actually couldn't explain these things.
"...Oh, we meet again?" In the end, Agare just scratched his wet hair in annoyance. He didn't care about his wet body and curled his lips at Lu Mi.
It seemed that because of the topic just now, he was in a rare low mood.
But Agare soon noticed the strange combination behind Lu Mi that he couldn't ignore—
"The Sea Clan, the traitors of the Celestial Clan, and the Celestial Clan?" He scanned the faces he had just seen. "If I remember correctly, not long ago, many of you were enemies?"
Everyone: “…”
They subconsciously glanced at Lu Mi, and when they found that the silver-eyed young man didn't care about it, they all breathed a sigh of relief without concealing their feelings.
Then, everyone glared at Agare in unison and with tacit understanding: There's no need to talk about the past, you bastard!
Agarei was amazed by this scene. The handsome young man widened his eyes in an almost bizarre manner and sat up slightly. "Can I ask what happened in such a short time?"
He said this to Lu Mi.
Lu Mi glanced at him, and in that glance, a faint golden light flashed in his silver pupils, which made the originally cynical young man curl his lips slightly.
"You..." Agare didn't notice that his expression had become serious.
But the subordinates following behind him were keenly aware of the sudden change in their boss's demeanor. It was a rare solemnity and seriousness that only appeared when they met the being in the tower.
——That was his attitude towards the God he served.
Lu Mi glanced at the handsome young man who was kept in the dark and said, "You should be more concerned about what is about to happen."
"……oh?"
Putting the other person's sudden change of expression behind him, Lu Mi turned around and said, "For example, can shattered faith be recast?"
Without paying attention to the reactions of the people behind him, Lu Mi suddenly raised his hand.
At the same time, golden wings of light spread out from behind him, and the silver-eyed young man flew into the sky in an instant.
“…He…that’s not right, why can he fly…!!?” This was Agare who stood up suddenly.
Gray Crow: "Of course He can."
Gray Crow's expression was calm, but his eyes sparkled with the light of midnight stars.
How can the ridiculous tricks of false gods restrain the real gods?
The figure hanging high in the air seemed to indicate something extremely terrifying, causing the sea creatures in the farther sea to suddenly stop their patrol singing, and then swim towards this side frantically.
The next moment, in full view of everyone, Lu Mi raised his hand slightly.
At the same time, in the underwater palace, the giant dragon's head suddenly raised up, making a gesture of roaring to the sky.
"roar--!!"
The sound waves that suddenly spread out clearly came from the infinitely distant depths of the deep sea, yet they were heard so clearly by everyone.
Those sea creatures seemed to be struck in the soul all of a sudden and fell into a sudden daze.
“That’s…!!?”
Lu Mi smiled as he listened to the dragon's roar. He lowered his eyes and whispered, "Come, my star."
“Crash—”
The surging tide rose and fell in an instant, and the new god came from a distant land, holding the key given by the old god.
As Lu Mi's power merged into the sea, the originally azure sea surface suddenly showed the scene of a dark starry sky.
——It seemed like a perfect reflection of the vast universe above.
However, the sky was covered by dark clouds for a long time, so all the creatures in the Eastern Region had never seen the stars.
[That day, I first saw the starry sky as seen by the gods...]
When the witnesses recalled this scene in the future and talked about the scene that day, it seemed as if their hearts and souls in their chests were instantly lit up.
I saw him wave his hand, gently parting the sea of stars on the ocean surface. A bluest star "fell" from the starry sky onto his fingertips, blossoming into a transparent flower.
The golden deity lowered his eyes slightly and saw the scale sleeping in the center of the flower.
It is certainly not such a small piece. As the corner closest to the heart of the huge dragon's body, it now only appears after it has restrained its posture.
[It once protected the heart of the old god, and now it will become the armor of the new god]
The shadow of a giant blue dragon suddenly appeared behind the silver-eyed young man, with its head bowed and feet lowered, protecting him tightly.
At the same time, all the tides roared in response.
But the golden god did not stop, he flew quickly towards a dormant volcano.
It was a red mountain that emitted a terrifyingly high temperature even when it was dormant, and the area within was filled with distorted air waves.
With just a thought, the blue dragon shadow seemed to know what the other party was thinking. It shook its head and tail and let out a long roar towards the volcano.
"boom!!"
The next second, the dormant volcano erupted with boiling hot lava, waking up with a loud bang from its slumber.
Then, a golden-red dragon shadow flew out from it, and most of the gloomy sky was dyed scarlet, sweeping over with a hot and explosive breath.
