"A century has passed, and I never expected that humans would still set foot here. It's just a pity..."
The dragon's eyes were filled with endless sorrow, and its voice carried a deep sadness and helplessness.
"My Lord Dragon, what has happened to make you so weak?"
Old Xia stared at the dragon before him, which could barely maintain its balance, his heart filled with curiosity.
It's important to know that in the cultivation world where Elder Xia originally resided, there hadn't been any trace of dragons for a very long time. They existed only in ancient legends and historical records, and were regarded as mythical beings.
To be able to see a real dragon with his own eyes was undoubtedly a soul-stirring experience for Mr. Xia.
The dragon said calmly, "I am an ancient divine beast. After thousands of years of arduous cultivation, I finally attained human form. However, a hundred years ago, while traveling on Blue Star, I happened to notice signs of the revival of the spiritual energy of this land."
As it spoke, an ancient and mysterious aura spread out, as if taking people back to that distant era.
Everyone held their breath, listening intently to this little-known story.
"After the completion of the Divine Dragon Palace, I had already explored most of the resources on Earth. Therefore, I decided to go to the vast outer space to seek new cultivation resources."
However, an unexpected event occurred. The moment I stepped off Earth, I was struck by misfortune, fell into the hands of others, and became a prisoner.
At that time, his cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul stage, and with my Nascent Soul cultivation at the time, I was powerless to fight back.
They easily obtained information about Blue Star from me, and then began to obscure the Heavenly Dao consciousness born from Blue Star, attempting to refine the entire Blue Star and make it their private territory.
Although the Heavenly Dao of Earth was still in its infancy, it was no ordinary matter. This breathtaking struggle lasted for a full century.
Now, the power of Heaven is gradually weakening, and the Blue Star has been completely transformed by its ravages.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, in ten years this star will be completely consumed by its power, and the living beings inhabiting Blue Star will likely also be unable to escape the fate of annihilation.
The dragon's figure became increasingly blurry, as if it might disappear at any moment. Upon hearing this, the people on the ground all showed expressions of shock.
"Is that person on Earth right now?" Jiang Wanwan asked anxiously.
The dragon shook its head slightly, its tone tinged with a hint of relief, and said, "He is currently unable to descend upon Blue Star. After all, this is the domain of the Heavenly Dao, and he would not dare to offend it lightly."
"Do we still have a chance to save ourselves?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Beixing began to worry about what would become of his family and Shi Mei ten years from now.
"If Blue Star can recover its spiritual energy, perhaps we can use the power of Heaven to compete with that person. In that case, there is still a glimmer of hope." After saying this, the dragon carefully scanned everyone present.
"You are blessed by Heaven, and surely bear a heavy responsibility. Young lady, I bestow upon you my life's treasures. I hope I have not misjudged you this time!"
After the dragon finished speaking, it chanted an ancient and mysterious incantation, and then placed a ring that shimmered with a strange light on Jiang Wanwan's hand from a distance.
As the ring was put on her finger, Jiang Wanwan's connection with the secret realm deepened, while the figure of the divine dragon became increasingly faint.
"Lord Divine Dragon, could it really be that you helped us win that crucial defensive battle a hundred years ago?" Lin Weiguo finally couldn't suppress his doubts and asked about what happened back then.
The dragon stared at Lin Weiguo for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh: "It's a pity that I was already exhausted at that time, and the help I could provide was just a drop in the ocean. As for the child you left behind, I originally intended to guide him onto the path of cultivation, but unfortunately he had no talent for cultivation. I suppose he is long gone by now."
"Are you talking about that kid Anshan?" Lin Weiguo's voice was tinged with disbelief.
"Indeed, that kid once vowed to rescue me from my predicament. He's such a kind and lovely boy!" Shenlong's tone revealed a hint of regret.
Hearing this, Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but gently stroke the dragon-shaped ring on her hand, and asked thoughtfully, "So, how exactly should we save you?"
The dragon's gaze deepened and hardened: "I was born of faith, and as long as faith endures, I will never die, never perish, and will not be subject to reincarnation!"
As the dragon's figure gradually disappeared, a dazzling light flashed, followed by a small, exquisite stone dragon slowly descending from the sky.
Jiang Wanwan carefully caught Xiaolong and examined it closely in her hands.
Although this little dragon is small in size, every detail is carved with exquisite care, as if it has a life of its own.
"Is this the dragon from just now?" Lin Weiguo looked at the stone carving in Jiang Wanwan's hand with affection.
Jiang Wanwan nodded in agreement.
After the dragon turned into a stone sculpture, the secret realm reclaimed Jiang Wanwan as its master, so she could clearly sense every corner of the secret realm.
The reason why the secret realm is so rich in spiritual energy is because it contains more than ten large spiritual veins, which were all found by the divine dragons searching all over the Blue Star.
The group finally emerged from the secret realm. Jiang Wanwan gently waved her arm, and the originally mysterious secret realm instantly transformed into a small and exquisite array plate, which fell steadily into her hand.
"Sister, do you think what the dragon said is true or false?" Jiang Beixing stared intently at her cousin, who had just stepped out of the secret realm but remained silent, and finally couldn't help but ask.
After a brief silence, Jiang Wanwan replied, "What Shenlong said is indeed not unfounded, but is supported by irrefutable facts."
Last year, the United Nations General Assembly reported that a mysterious force in outer space was using the polar ozone hole to carry out a series of wanton acts of destruction against our planet.
For example, in the past two years, Earthquakes have been frequent and volcanic activity has been unusually intense, with various natural and man-made disasters occurring one after another. Even worse, Japan has recently recklessly carried out nuclear emissions, an act that only adds insult to injury!
It is likely that this series of destructive events has plunged the already overwhelmed Heavenly Dao into a desperate predicament.
"Xiao Wan, the situation is so critical, what can we do? Is there really no way to save Blue Star and the Divine Dragon?" Lin Weiguo stood aside, his brows furrowed, his face full of anxiety.
Jiang Wanwan's expression was equally solemn. She was well aware of the severity of the current situation, but the more serious it was, the more she needed to remain calm.
She took a deep breath, then calmly and seriously replied, "Brother Lin, don't rush. This matter needs careful consideration. Let's go back first, sit down, and discuss carefully what measures should be taken next."
The group quickly left Shennongjia and stopped at a farmhouse restaurant at the foot of the mountain to rest.
"My benefactor?" The newcomer's voice was filled with excitement and joy.
