Chapter 61
Lu Mi saw the scene of the birth of the red dragon.
He saw dragon after dragon challenge the tower.
Even if no dragon succeeds in the long history, there will always be the next dragon that appears after a period of time to continue.
These dragons came from completely different branches of the dragon family. Some were completely white, some were as green as jade, and some were as black as night...
They transformed into huge holographic dragon shadows and appeared in this space, looking like they were fighting hard, which made Lu Mi, who was immersed in the scene, feel an inexplicable shock.
Every failed dragon will drag its last breath to climb up the volcano, and then throw itself into the battle without hesitation, like a shocking sacrifice, living towards death.
All that remained were their last unwilling roars before death and the sparks that burned their bodies all over the sky.
Standing in this space, Lu Mi passed by the phantoms of countless giant dragons of various shapes and sizes.
Then, he saw Cer'er - to be more precise, it was the final power released by countless dragons before their death throughout history that combined with this volcano to give birth to a miraculous dragon egg.
"So this is how you were born..." He looked towards the space and the red dragon that was now entwined on the volcano. "Perhaps your return here is a part of fate."
"Now, do you remember your mission, Ker?"
"roar----!"
In response to him, the dragon let out a loud roar, then spread its wings and flew towards the young man without hesitation.
The explosive breath and scorching flames that hit him in the face did not make the young man retreat even a step.
He opened his arms as if to welcome...
——Show me your strength.
The alien species gathered under the volcano suddenly felt the temperature rising.
The volcano's explosion originally only lasted within the crater, but the churning magma instantly boiled and splashed toward the sky.
The boiling magma flowed down densely, and the golden-red dragon waiting outside the volcano suddenly raised its head.
Those huge pupils narrowed slightly in surprise, "...! I can actually make mistakes..."
It was the first to feel the rising terrifying aura.
Finally, a dazzling flame broke through the rising black smoke, like the dawn piercing the darkness.
"brush--"
The red dragon flapped its wings, blowing away the thick smoke that obscured the view. The next moment, everyone could suddenly see the situation on the mountain clearly.
Everyone was speechless in an instant.
The figure that appeared in the molten lava looked like the golden wheel sun god walking out of the flames.
"He is..." Everyone's lips trembled.
The young man's originally silver eyes turned into a dazzling golden red, like the glow of the rising sun illuminating the sky.
He was wearing many more armors used for combat, with burning golden fire patterns dotted on the cuffs and corners of his robe. The aura around him was sharp and dazzling, and it was impossible to look directly at him.
A frenzied look suddenly appeared on some people's faces, and their bodies suddenly began to spasm violently. "The sun in the Eastern Region, which has been absent for a thousand years, has finally risen!"
The next moment, the young man raised his right hand, which was covered with a pitch-black fingertip.
"Bang!"
A silver-blue light instantly broke out of the mountain, carrying with it the molten lava that had not yet dissipated, and quickly rushed into his palm, where he grasped it firmly in the blink of an eye.
Golden and red lines faintly flowed on the silver spear.
The molten lava that could originally melt the dragon's body now became as harmless as pure water and was easily wiped away by the young man.
Lu Mi Zhang clenched his five fingers, very satisfied with the touch of the new weapon in his hand. He nodded and swung the silver spear into the air.
Everyone subconsciously chased after the attack and looked over.
A huge shock wave swept through the mountains, rushed straight into the sky, and pointed all the way to the tall tower on the horizon.
"boom--!"
It was like a challenge knocking on the door, hitting the protective shield of the tower and causing dense cracks.
In an instant, the creatures in the tower responded angrily, and the entire tower began to shake, as if the creatures in the tower were slowly crawling out.
"God!?" The sea creatures stationed in the tower were at a loss and looked panicked.
They turned their heads and looked at the volcano in the distance. The glow there was visible even from here, not to mention the momentum that was enough to shake the sky.
"Hey, what happened?"
"All of you step back." A voice suddenly came.
"Chief!?" The guard looked at the disheveled Agare in surprise. "You're back? What's wrong with you?"
The other person was covered in water vapor mixed with blood, as if he had just crawled out of a sea of corpses and blood in a fierce battle.
Agarei didn't answer, he just slowly raised his head.
Then everyone noticed each other's eyes, which were like a broken and crumbling mirror, fragile and sharp, mixed with hysteria and madness that barely maintained sanity.
In full view of everyone, Agare suddenly used his authority as a guardian to remove all the defenses of the tower and opened the door to the next floor.
“You, what are you doing!?” Everyone looked horrified. “There will be divine punishment for this—!”
"Divine punishment?" Agare grinned, his eyes frightening everyone so much that they took a step back. "Ah, yes..."
He looked towards the volcano with a dejected and puzzled look, "The divine punishment is about to come."
That is true divine punishment.
The tower was opened to it.
Lu Mi stepped onto the red dragon's back.
At this time, the red dragon, which has absorbed the power of the volcano and fully awakened, has become larger than an adult dragon.
Those golden dragon eyes were filled with a strange coldness. The once ignorant young dragon had undoubtedly evolved into a real ferocious beast.
It is a natural disaster that has awakened, and there is only one person in this world who holds its reins.
"Fly, Ker."
Following the order from the young man on its back, the red dragon suddenly spread its wings.
No one in this world can stop them from flying.
Seeing this, the golden-red dragon that was originally lying on the volcano exhaled deeply, and then suddenly took off into the air.
"Is this okay?" Lu Mi glanced at the dragon during the flight.
He knew that the other party was just a remnant of consciousness. Not only did it not have much power, it was also unable to leave a specific location - once it left, it would mean that the other party would quickly dissipate.
The Earth Dragon snorted and laughed, "Witness the death of the false god, and witness the battle in which the new god declares his dominance over the world! I don't have much time left, so I must choose the most magnificent moment to leave!"
After saying this, he paused slightly and sneered, "It seems it thinks so too."
On the vast sea, with the sudden surging waves, a giant blue dragon took off in the gazes of countless sea creatures.
Lu Mi then said nothing more.
He was even unusually calm when the dragon-like monster flew out of the tower.
Perhaps it was because he knew that this war was already a foregone conclusion, and the significance of defeating it was not even as great as saving the remaining consciousness of the gods.
The monster looked like a combination of a bird and a dragon. Because of its pure white wings, it could barely be called beautiful - but Lu Mi and the other two could see at a glance that it was just a layer of skin covered by a false god.
"Why would a newborn god from a foreign land disturb my rule..."
The false god seemed to be about to speak, and the breath he exhaled caused the sky to tremble slightly, as if it was about to be torn apart in the next second.
However, Lu Mi had no interest in talking to him and just shot him directly.
"roar--!!"
The pair of pure white wings were torn apart in an instant, revealing the originally black membrane wings wrapped inside.
“…”
Everyone's eyes widened in astonishment. "Why would the God of the Sky...?"
At this point, considering everything that had happened before, there were still a few people who didn't understand what was happening.
"Is that fake? Have we been deceived all this time—!?"
Some people collapsed, some were in disbelief, but more people were still paying attention to the battlefield and the golden figure surrounded by two dragons.
In a flash, Lu Mi's silver spear pierced the false god's chest. "Hmm?"
He quickly raised his eyebrows. It was too easy, and the feeling from the tip of the gun was wrong.
"Be careful up there!" The Earth Dragon, who knew the Eastern Region well, growled.
Without being reminded by the other party, Lu Mi raised his head first and rushed forward with his gun.
When other people who were slow to react looked up at the sky, they were filled with fear at what appeared in the sky.
——It was the "body" of some creature, intertwined and entwined like a maze.
That huge pitch-black dragon had already occupied the entire sky and had been hidden above the dense dark clouds in the Eastern Region.
——No wonder! They don't allow other creatures in the Eastern Region to fly, probably because they're afraid they'll discover their true form floating in the sky.
"..." A light and cold breath was heard, and then a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly opened from the sky.
He realized that the puppet he placed on earth to devour souls had been broken.
"Who is it——" A hoarse voice woke up from a deep sleep.
Everyone felt dizzy when they saw those blood-moon-like eyes, and then they felt like retching.
Soul, they seemed to see countless twisted souls imprisoned in those eyes, struggling and howling.
The most distraught among them were the majority of the Celestial Clan, because they knew very well where those souls came from.
"To serve our God... because it is God's order..." They muttered with unfocused eyes.
They were the Sky Dragon's followers, and their orders were absolute. Therefore, even collecting souls, which allowed their pure essence to be continuously tainted by resentment until their wings were stained gray—
"Because God said he wanted to live..." Because their God said they needed to replenish their lifespans in order to survive, "Even if this brings us sin, we will...will...!"
They endured everything to get to this day, but the truth they got brought them pain that almost tore them apart.
"Then go and atone your sins!" The Gray Crow who had arrived looked at his fellow tribesmen, then looked up at the sky. "That man is working hard for the Eastern Region and for the freedom of all people. Now is not the time for you to feel sorry for yourself!"
“…”
Yes, that person.
All of the Celestial Clan members suddenly raised their heads slowly, looking towards the golden light standing in the shadows. The never-fading glow was like the sun hanging forever high in the sky, illuminating the eternal night of the Eastern Region.
"That is, a new god from another realm... a god born in this era..."
A strange feeling suddenly came over them, allowing them to feel a little warmth in the deadly coldness.
"Oh right, that... thing, it relies on the souls in its body to replenish its energy. As long as we can touch its body, we can take back the souls that have been devoured."
"But it's in the sky, we can't touch it at all."
"Who said no?" Gray Crow looked up at the figure that was fighting with the black dragon.
Against the backdrop of the pitch-black sky, that golden color gave off the aura of a man fighting against the entire world alone.
"Please let us fly--" The gray crow suddenly put his hands together and prayed silently to the man.
Lu Mi, who was fighting with the black dragon, paused.
The sharp wind from his gun easily cut through the black dragon's body, ripping it open along its boundless body, making him invincible.
So, he hated dealing with particularly large creatures. It took a long time to chop vegetables and melons, which was really troublesome.
Amid the black dragon's roar of pain, Lu Mi easily responded to the prayer in his ear.
"I'll just respond to you for now." The golden spirit lowered his eyes slightly, looking at those desperate and panicked faces, "Let me see how far you can go."
Then, all the Celestials felt their bodies suddenly lighten.
Their gray wings were suddenly purified, and the messengers of the sky in the past seemed to reappear, like flying birds spreading their wings in an instant.
For the first time in history, even at this moment, as they rushed towards the gigantic monster in the sky like moths to a flame, their hearts felt lighter than ever before.
"We are flying..."
