Chapter 264: White Orchid Rain Festival (Forty-Seven)
From the very beginning, the dragon wanted to completely solve the problem of thunder and lightning. It was not restricted by this world and wanted to rush up to the sky to see what this inexplicable thunder and lightning was. But it did not dare to take the risk because the white orchid was so fragile and vulnerable. Once it left the other side, the thunder and lightning would strike it directly in less than a second.
But even though the dragon tried its best to block it, as the thunder fell more and more frequently, it suffered more and more wounds on its body, and it became increasingly difficult to hide the white orchid.
Moreover, the dragon could feel that this thunder was not ordinary lightning. After all, normal lightning could not hurt it, but this thunder showed no sign of stopping.
It ignored the White Orchid's pushing and anxious tone, and just howled to the sky, questioning the mastermind behind the scenes why he wanted to kill a White Orchid in such a way. But no one heard its roar, or the other party was determined not to say anything.
Nanhuan, who was wrapped in the body, could feel the dragon's power gradually being lost due to the wound, and its movements were becoming slower and more laborious, but it always kept Bai Lanhua blocked in its dragon tail, unwilling to let the lightning get close to it.
"Let me go, it's coming for me, leave now..."
The white orchid struggled to get out of the dragon's arms, but it was no match for the dragon's strength. It had no choice but to press its drooping flower bud against the dragon's tail to communicate with the dragon. It had realized that the lightning was aimed at it, and wanted the dragon to leave, otherwise they would both die here.
"I told you I wouldn't let you die."
Even though the dragon had to deal with more thunder and lightning, it still responded and touched the other's petals with the tip of its tail, signaling the white orchid not to worry.
It was unknown how long the stalemate lasted, so long that even though Nan Huan was clearly inside the dragon's body and her perception of the outside world was not very real, she was still stimulated by the continuous thunder and had some tinnitus.
"Sorry, I broke my promise..."
The dragon looked at the white orchid with some regret, and tried hard to wipe the blood off the petals with its dragon horns, but it was helpless because of its injuries, its body was already covered in blood, which only made the white petals stained darker.
"No...no, hurry up and leave now..."
The white petals tried hard to arch the eyes that were about to close. As the last thunder fell, the dragon still covered the white orchid with its tail even though it knew it was useless.
The weather cleared up in the next second, the thunder and lightning disappeared, and the world returned to the sound of birdsong. The dragon's body and the white orchid disappeared together. Nan Huan didn't know where he was, and everything was dark in front of his eyes, but he suddenly heard a voice.
"You could have been spared from divine punishment..."
A deep voice emerged from the chaos, not sounding like a warning, but recounting the torture that had taken place not long ago. "Because of your insistence, the white orchid was born into this world. And because its words disregarded the laws of the world's development, it should not have appeared in this world..."
Nan Huan frowned in displeasure. He couldn't see the person who was speaking, but he could hear the arrogance in the other person's tone, as if the other person was the master of everything. He didn't think there was anything wrong with going to such great lengths to kill a white jasmine flower.
Nanhuan could no longer see the giant dragon, but he could hear its dissatisfaction with these words, as well as its roar of resistance.
"Since you have survived and survived, I think it would be appropriate to give you a chance, or a test..." The voice disappeared after this.
The darkness in front of Nan Huan's eyes gradually disappeared, and she found that the sunny scene on this side of the barrier suddenly stopped, while the play button seemed to be pressed on the other side of the shield.
What's going on? Could it be that the timelines on both sides are in order? Can I see what happens next? No need to experience it myself?
But the real Dragon God on the opposite side seemed to be in a different state from what he had just experienced.
And if she had not been awake, she would probably have thought that there was something in the cocoon that affected people's memory and had an effect on her. Otherwise, why would she see a scene that was exactly the same as the one she had just experienced?
At the beginning of the scene, although the Dragon God's expression became gentle because of the birth of the white orchid, it can be seen that his nerves have been very tense, as if he was guarding against something. As the white orchid grew bigger day by day, her worries became more and more obvious.
Until the voice of prayer came from afar, the Dragon God stopped the spread of the voice before Bai Lanhua could hear it completely, eliminating the possibility of Bai Lanhua raising the question and the previous request.
Nan Huan suddenly remembered the description of this side quest, "…If you were faced with the same scene again, and made the opposite choice, what would it be like? "…Whether it happened or not, you are the lucky one who was chosen today…"…You can experience the important moments in other people's lives as a stranger…"
She originally thought that she might have to face the same situation they once faced as the master trapped in the cocoon and make a choice, but now it seems that what she experienced was not a different future scene due to the choices she made, but she was experiencing the Dragon God's experience exactly, experiencing his collapse and his powerlessness.
However, the Dragon God, as his original body, is on the other side of the barrier. When facing an important moment in his life, he has a second chance to choose. This sounds and looks very tempting.
But Nanhuan was still very vigilant. The system would not be such a good guy. Besides, they were inside the cocoon. Everything they saw and experienced was illusory. It was just an illusion created by the cocoon. Even if the Dragon God could stop everything that had happened in the illusion, it was still false and of no use.
And judging from the current development situation, Nanhuan always has a feeling of uneasiness.
She could understand that in the Dragon God's impression, he felt that it was because of human prayers that life was born in this world, which brought about divine punishment. So now he would strangle it from the source, not letting the white orchid hear the prayers, and he would ignore them. There should be no problem this way.
The sky was as chaotic as usual, but Nan Huan noticed that the sky was beginning to change at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even if the Dragon God did nothing, it seemed that other life had been conceived.
I don’t know how long it took, but after a long time, human beings were born and continued to exist. The sun rose again, and the sky and the earth were separated.
The world began to become dangerous, and the Dragon God could only stay closer to the White Orchid. However, humans had a natural desire to expand their territory on the lands they conquered, and they also had an instinctive fear of a behemoth like the Dragon God, so the crusade soon began.
Although Nan Huan couldn't bear to watch any further, he still had a premonition of what was going to happen next.
The white orchid was ruthlessly pulled out of the soil by humans. The Dragon God became furious when he saw all this. The fire of the newly born human beings was extinguished, rivers flowed backwards, mountains collapsed, the heaven and earth closed again and the world became chaotic.
It seemed as if everything had returned to its original place, but it also seemed as if something had changed. After the Dragon God had taken revenge on the last life in the world, he was taken away by the punishment from heaven.
Nan Huan saw it and did not avoid it, nor did he even run away. Until the last thunder submerged its heavy body, Nan Huan actually caught a glimpse of a long-awaited look on its face, as if it had been waiting for divine punishment since the moment Bai Lanhua left.
Nanhu discovered that the two sides blocked by the transparent barrier were like electric currents taking turns to be shown, one after another. The story on the Dragon God's side was frozen at this moment, and she found that everything in front of her eyes had begun to flow again.
She was still wrapped in the body of the Dragon God, but the Dragon God was no longer as huge as before, but had become the size she was familiar with. He could even transform into a human form, and next to her stood a woman who looked exactly like her. Behind her were a group of dragons, all in human-shaped dragon tails, surrounding one place in a mighty manner.
"This place is very suitable for the growth of dragons. Let's choose this place?"
The woman started talking, looking at everything in front of her with excitement. Her curious expression, as if carved out, easily exposed her identity.
"All right, I'll listen to you."
The Dragon God was very calm at this time, and Nan Huan could sense her emotions.
The so-called trial of some kind was to let her exist as the Dragon Lord and let White Orchid exist as a human being. What kind of trial was this? It was simply the best thing for them. Besides, little White Orchid was so eager to leave this small place and see the outside world. This was just perfect.
It's just that she has some more dragon compatriots, which is not a difficult task at all. This time she must protect the people around her and the dragon clan. She can definitely do it.
Nan Huan realized belatedly that the terrain in front of her looked very familiar. She quickly confirmed through some similar geographical environments that the place they chose to settle was now the Bailan City.
This should be what Bailan City looked like before the city walls. Everything was built by the dragon clan, Little Bailan, and the Dragon Lord together with great effort. However, at first there were only a few houses to shelter from the wind and rain. Later, their team began to grow, and the scale became larger and larger.
This place is dry and desolate, with no other irrelevant humans. The Dragon Lord is very satisfied with this quietness. He just stares at Xiao Bailan every day to prevent her from being dazzled by any new things she discovers.
Xiao Bailan was very satisfied with this kind of life. She no longer had to have half of her body buried in the soil, unable to move, and could only stretch her neck to observe the world. Now she had hands and feet, could walk around, and occasionally could lie on the back of the Dragon Lord and let her take her flying in the air. Such a life couldn't be more beautiful.
But sometimes she would sit on the roof with the Dragon Lord and look into the distance, falling into a brief sorrow. They seemed to be reborn, but with their previous memories, the marks of painful death, and the voices of people talking about trials.
But how can such a wonderful life be called a trial?
Just when I was becoming more and more satisfied with my current life and didn't want it to be disrupted by any unexpected situation, the change finally came.
