Chapter 369 Time has no logic
Everyone said goodbye to the queen and prepared to return the way they came to find the Yellow Dragon King.
Wuwu obediently returned to Xu Chuchu and rested on her shoulder like a bird.
Shu Yu reluctantly retreated, but Sect Leader Feng clung to the queen like a plaster.
"Go, Yan'er." The queen smiled softly, "We will meet again in the future."
Sect Leader Feng retreated happily after hearing the Queen call him by his nickname.
Everyone went back to the place where they had just seen the Yellow Dragon King, and found that the big yellow dragon who had been sleeping soundly just now had actually... changed his position and continued to sleep.
It changed from sleeping on its stomach to sleeping on its back, with its limbs hanging comfortably, revealing its light golden belly.
"Yellow Dragon King?" Xu Chuchu called out tentatively.
No response.
Xia Wanqing bravely stepped forward and patted the dragon claw.
Still no response.
They had no choice but to go back to find the Red Dragon Queen.
The queen was helpless: "I just woke him up, how come he fell asleep again?"
She got up from her nest and went to the Yellow Dragon King to wake him up. She made sure that he was fully awake before leaving.
Seeing the Yellow Dragon King waking up with his eyes blurry and looking around in confusion, everyone was speechless. Isn't this dragon responsible for managing time? How could he be so casual and reliable?
Unlike the kind and gentle Red Dragon Queen, the Yellow Dragon King gives people a feeling of laziness and comfort. They will not feel overly nervous or uncomfortable in front of it.
It sat up, raised its paws and stretched comfortably like a human.
"I woke up from a good sleep and you're here again." It lowered its head and looked at Xu Chuchu, its tone still filled with sleepiness.
"Again? I haven't been here." Xu Chuchu said immediately.
"Oh oh." The Yellow Dragon King looked as if he had just woken up from a dream. "Yes, you won't remember."
Xu Chuchu shook her head in confusion.
"I'm sorry, I keep traveling between the past and the future, and I often can't remember what time it is now." It shook its head, "But I'm very grateful to you for being willing to walk here step by step."
Xu Chuchu simply said: "Actually, it's not voluntary. When we first got involved, we couldn't get out, right?"
The Yellow Dragon King closed his mouth and spoke after a moment, "The Red Dragon Queen told me to explain things to you clearly. I'll be direct. You must find Frost Moon Rope, subdue the Black Dragon King, and imprison him underground. Otherwise, he will do as he says and exterminate you all, and the entire world will be affected."
"What did you say?" Xu Chuchu thought she had misheard. "With the current state we have, are we going to deal with the Black Dragon King?"
It’s hard for them to deal with an ordinary black dragon now!
"Yes." Huang Longwang affirmed.
Xiao Yu stopped the somewhat annoyed Xu Chuchu and asked, "Your Excellency, are you overestimating us? With our current cultivation level, the Black Dragon King can destroy us with just a flick of his finger."
"No, no." The Yellow Dragon King shook his head. "The Frost Moon Rope was left by our ancestors, a weapon specifically for use against dragons. Dragons themselves cannot wield it, only humans can."
"Maybe I can't do it." Xu Chuchu sorted out the timeline, "Wait, weren't you the ones who imprisoned the Black Dragon King?"
She remembered what the fox fairy had said before: "It was you, the great dragons, who worked together to seal the Black Dragon King. The Green Dragon also suffered heavy losses, so you asked the fox tribe for help, right?"
"That's a rumor from later generations," the Yellow Dragon King said. "It was you who sealed the Black Dragon King."
"Well, isn't it sealed? What else do you want me to do?" Xu Chuchu was confused.
"No, not yet. If you don't do it, the world will be destroyed." The Yellow Dragon King continued.
Xu Chuchu was completely speechless, not knowing what the old Dragon King was talking about.
"Let me try it." Xiao Yu stepped forward and said, "We can use the numbers one, two, and three to mark each time period in sequence."
"For example, we are now in the first time period, the destruction of the world is in the second time period, and the time we lived in the past is called the third time period."
"If the world is destroyed, the third time period will not exist. Our existence proves the existence of the third time period, which means that the destruction of the world in the second time period did not happen. So what else do we need to do?"
"You're smarter than she is." The Yellow Dragon King nodded approvingly. "According to you, the world destruction phase of the second time period didn't happen because I summoned this girl from the third time period to the first time period, allowing her to prevent the world destruction in the second time period."
Xiao Yu shook his head: "This is illogical. It's like pouring water out of a bottle and then using the same bottle to collect water. This is impossible."
"Indeed," the Yellow Dragon King admitted frankly. "But time is not water. Time is the most wonderful thing in the world. It has no logic. Different time periods influence and change each other, one layer affecting the next. You think the world you live in is a natural occurrence, but perhaps it was changed by someone in your future."
"But the mission you mentioned is too difficult. I can't possibly complete it." Xu Chuchu brought the issue back to the point. "Even if my cultivation were higher, I couldn't possibly contend with the Dragon King."
Huang Long didn't say anything for a moment and moved his body.
"Xu Chuchu." It called out her name as expected. "Do you know why it was you?"
"I don't know. Would you like to tell me?" Xu Chuchu was already numb to this question.
It loves to say or not.
This time, the yellow dragon sat up straight, looking down at them with its tall dragon head.
"When we anticipated the beginning of the Black Dragon's rebellion, we selected a group of brave and determined individuals from among the future humans to carry out our mission. You are one of them."
"We summoned you from various time periods and asked you to seal the Black Dragon King. But this task is too difficult. None of you could complete it the first time."
"But time is a cycle. After a failure, you forget everything and go back to the beginning to start over. From the moment you entered the Xia Dynasty, everything began to repeat itself."
"You fail again and again, reincarnating over and over again," the Yellow Dragon King said softly, "I can't even remember how many times it's happened."
It was quiet, with only the sound of people's rapid breathing.
What the Yellow Dragon King said had already surpassed their cognition and imagination, as well as...
"What are you talking about?" Xu Chuchu couldn't believe her ears. "So I've experienced this reincarnation countless times, failed countless times, died countless times... just because I don't remember?"
"You guys." She didn't even know how to express her feelings. "Since I've failed so many times, can't you just find someone else? Just pick on me and grab me?"
The Yellow Dragon King lowered himself slightly and said, "I'm sorry, but you're the only one left now."
"What do you mean?" Now every time he said something, Xu Chuchu would tremble with anger.
