Five hundred and twenty years ago, there was the first time traveler - Rui Hang.
Rui Hang, who was sitting in the classroom and watching the live broadcast with his classmates, raised his eyebrows.
The old voice of the Golden Dragon echoed in the classroom: "After that, the passage was opened several times. A total of 25 souls were released in a hundred years, and one landed on Dragon Island."
Song Mingzhe clenched his fists involuntarily, and his heart was beating fast and heavy like a drum.
So...those dragons have long known that I'm not a pure "dragon", so that's why they've been so distant and cold to me all these years?
Jin Long said: "Although we don't know who cast this soul, we can foresee that Parnaki will definitely change because of these twenty-five souls. The barrier is getting weaker and weaker. Sooner or later, the means left by our ancestors will lose their effect. We have inherited the mission and wishes of our ancestors. Once any accidents occur, we will take over from our ancestors and continue to protect the two worlds. Therefore, after confirming that Taiyamos has the ability to inherit the Dragon King, we took the initiative to enter the Dragon Tomb and activate the magic circle in the tomb, and came to this world again - this world cannot accommodate us who are too powerful, and our power will also cause irreparable damage to the barrier. Because of this, we gave up our physical bodies and used the seal to suppress the power to the greatest extent."
"But I didn't expect that brat Tyamos would be so ruthless!" The red dragon cursed, "He actually sold all our bodies! He even brought gold coins to the dragon tomb to show off, deliberately trying to piss off us elders!"
Song Mingzhe received subtle looks from the whole class: "...Why are you looking at me? They were already too much at that time! Besides, those of you who have contracted dragons are also vested interests!"
Class 9 students: “…”
Avert your eyes in embarrassment.
...
Inside the tomb, Lin Lang and the other two looked at the coffin in the air with thoughtful expressions.
They thought Jin Long's words could answer their questions, but they didn't expect that the more they listened, the more questions they had.
Who brought them from Earth to Parnaki, and why did they suddenly send them back to Earth? What is the relationship between Earth and Parnaki, and what role does the "Twenty-Four Gods" play in it...
Perhaps from the beginning, the Earth and Parnaki were mutually complementary and mutually regulating, with each side taking on a portion of the magic power so that the concentration would not be too high or too low, thus achieving a long-term balance. However, because magic power could not naturally breed life, the "Twenty-Four Gods" also needed to use naturally bred materials to create new life, so they had to transfer all the magic power to Parnaki and use a barrier to isolate the transmission of magic power.
But the barrier will break one day, and the earth will be flooded with magic again. Therefore, the "Twenty-Four Gods" created life in Parnaki and conducted experiments to prevent life on Earth from being destroyed by the sudden influx of excessive magic. However, the initial experiments failed, and the situation was so bad that the "Creation God" even had to use up his power to finish it for them.
Today, Parnaki is in the second "experiment" that is in progress and has caught up with the breaking of the barrier. What Parnaki needs to face is not only the madness caused by the increasing concentration of magic power, but also the chaos caused by the forced confrontation between the two world civilizations.
Lin Lang couldn't help but think that perhaps when the twenty-four gods of Parnagi created all things, they chose to create life from the legends of the future of the earth. In addition to the spirituality of these legends, they may also hope to bring legends to the earth through these created lives. This kind of time paradox is not too strange in Parnagi. The existence of time and space as a biased concept is also an element in Parnagi. With the power of the "Twenty-Four Gods", it is not very difficult to directly see the future tens of thousands of years later.
In this way, the "Twenty-Four Gods" created a race based on the Earth, and due to the instability of the barrier, a few of them fell to the Earth and left legends about them on the Earth - thus completing a closed loop of the legends of the two worlds.
As for why they chose to do this, it was probably to prepare for the collision of the two worlds one day, thinking that if the two worlds had the same origin, it would reduce the occurrence of conflicts. But in the face of absolute interests, what does it matter even if there is a blood connection? Many times it really seems insignificant.
Unfortunately, these are just their inferences, even if they are well-founded. It seems that if we want to know the truth, we can only look for the missing "Twenty-Four Gods".
In other words, the Chinese legends often use words like "ancient times", "primordial times", and "the beginning of chaos", which cannot be described with a specific time. Now it seems that this may be the era mentioned by Jin Long, before the "Great Purge" by the "Twenty-Four Gods".
However, when it comes to ancient times, strange stories and legends...isn't this the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"!
Don’t tell me that the stories in "Classic of Mountains and Seas" are all true!
Mom, can I see Erlang Shen in person in the future? The one with the handsome face!
Lin Lang couldn't help but let his thoughts wander.
The golden dragon's words drew Lin Lang's attention back: "We originally wanted to use the power stored in the dragon tomb to continue to seal the barrier, but unfortunately the barrier is on the verge of breaking and cannot be repaired. Therefore, we gave up this idea and are waiting for your arrival here."
"How do you know we will definitely return to Earth?" Su Mu couldn't help but ask.
Jin Long said: "Since you are from this world, you will definitely be summoned by this world in the future. It is only a matter of time before you return here."
"Why are you waiting for us? Are you going to tell us the truth?" Lin Yuan asked.
"Of course it's more than that." Jin Long said, "We are now souls, and our strength has long reached a bottleneck, but you are different. Everything you have done in Parnaki is enough to prove that you can reach a height far beyond this - we can be your helper, but you need to promise us one thing."
"One day in the future, when you are able to break through the shackles and reach the level of God, you will take us and the bones of our ancestors to the 'Lost Homeland' that was opened up by the 'Creator God' but lost in the torrent of time and space."
"I accept your request on their behalf."
The space was suddenly torn apart, and Rui Hang, Xiao Shichuan and Song Mingzhe, with a complicated expression, flew out of the passage one after another.
Rui Hang put his hands behind his back, facing the huge dragon head in front of him, with a calm expression and calm eyes: "I didn't expect to have the honor to meet the original Dragon King. It has been 10,000 years since you disappeared. The outside world thought you had fallen, but they didn't expect you to stay in the dragon tomb."
"Ten thousand years is not a long time for the dragon race." The golden dragon looked at Rui Hang with some surprise: "'Lord of the Demon Race'?"
"Yes." Rui Hang said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"...What a terrifying talent." Jin Long did not hesitate to praise Rui Hang: "I have been born for nearly 25,000 years, but I am no match for a 500-year-old junior like you."
Even though Rui Hang's magic power is not as good as his now, Jin Long can see through the strength of Rui Hang's "Soul Circuit". As long as the magic power is sufficient, Rui Hang will have no problem defeating him at his peak even if he does not use the super killing weapon "Infernal Fire".
Including Lin Lang and the others, they were only slightly weaker than him at his peak. If they were given another hundred years, it would be easy for them to surpass him in strength.
This talent is no longer terrifying, it is like being blessed by the "God of Creation".
Lin Lang and the other two who were standing in the back watching Rui Hang and Jin Long chatting: "......"
Su Mu: "Did Mr. Rui just fly up a little bit? Did he have to talk to the golden dragon from a bird's-eye view?"
Lin Yuan: "It's not the first day that Mr. Rui has this kind of personality. Just let him go."
Rui Hang: "Don't you know that I can hear your conversation?"
Su Mu/Lin Yuan: "......"
Just why didn’t this clever guy Lin Lang complain with them!
For those who are stronger than them, even if they use private channels, they may be heard. Therefore, Lin Lang and the other two chose to complain directly in Chinese.
It wasn't that Rui Hang was intentionally eavesdropping, most of the time Rui Hang never cared about students' private chats. Unfortunately, he was now using all his magic power to produce enough aura to suppress the golden dragon, and he had no energy to specifically block the private channel, so Su Mu and Lin Yuanyi's private chat was no different from holding a big speaker and playing it in his ear.
Fortunately, Song Mingzhe's appearance diverted Rui Hang's attention for them.
Hundreds of years ago, Song Mingzhe once separated the dragon clan from his own people. But as the fight for the throne began, more and more dragons recognized his strength and joined his camp. Song Mingzhe was no longer the lonely dragon he used to be. With more and more partners around him, they increasingly recognized his identity. Song Mingzhe gradually reclassified himself into the dragon clan.
However, the previous generation's rejection of him has always been a thorn in Song Mingzhe's heart even after a hundred years.
Now reality tells him that there is something else behind it.
"...Why didn't you tell me these secrets?" Song Mingzhe heard his voice was hoarse.
Jin Long looked at him deeply: "Because it is not necessary."
"...Why?"
"You are a man of destiny just like them. It is enough for old men like me to shoulder these ancient missions. Your duty is to lead the dragon race and free them from the shackles of fate."
Song Mingzhe's forced calm expression showed a slight loosening. He took a deep breath and finally asked the question that had been bothering him for years.
"Do you consider me as one of your kind?"
His uncle, Red Dragon, answered him with a cold voice: "You have the blood of another race in your body, so we naturally won't treat you as one of our own."
Song Mingzhe clenched his hands at his sides again, but heard the red dragon snort and said, "So you are still a little brat! What does it have to do with you whether we recognize you or not? Even if you are not a pure dragon, aren't you the one sitting on the throne? As long as the current dragons recognize you, you are their king."
Song Mingzhe: "...I sold your dragon skin to the Holy Roman Empress for fur for 50 million gold coins."
Red Dragon: "I will kill you, you little bastard—"
Ou Wenna, who was suddenly cueed: "......"
...
The reason why Rui Hang came here was not just to cooperate with the dragon clan as a class representative.
Today, dragons exist in the form of souls. Movement and combat consume a great deal of magic power and soul, so they really need a body to carry them.
As the most powerful "bard" of Parnaki, Shikishi of Class Nine is not only good at poetry, gossip, and causing (emotional) bloodbaths, he is also a powerful puppeteer who is good at making and manipulating puppets.
As a dwarf, Du Heng was the best at forging even among Parnaki. In particular, he had developed a method of combining magic with programming, which made him very suitable for working with Si Jishi to customize bodies for all the souls in the Dragon Tomb.
The concentration of magic power on Earth is constantly increasing, and the dragons no longer need to suppress their power by abandoning their bodies. All the dragons in the Dragon Tomb readily accepted Rui Hang's suggestion.
Since the dragons have chosen to stand on the side of China, contact with the authorities is essential. Rui Hang suggested that when they leave the dragon tomb, it would be best to let a dragon go with them to hand over to the authorities. For this purpose, Rui Hang specially brought a puppet that Si Jishi and Du Heng had hurriedly made.
So the Golden Dragon waved his hand, pointed at the Red Dragon and said, "I see that you get along well with this group of young people. I think you should be suitable for doing these things. I'll leave it to you."
Red Dragon: “…”
Song Mingzhe: “…”
Since the ancestor has spoken so, Red Dragon has no choice but to nod in agreement.
After obtaining Red Dragon's consent, Lin Lang directly injected knowledge about Chinese into Red Dragon's mind. After Red Dragon adapted for a while, he was able to speak tongue twisters fluently.
"Come to think of it, why don't we use this method to instill knowledge directly into the brain?" Su Mu suddenly had an idea.
"It just saves you the time of rote memorization. With our current memory, is there any difference between this and memorizing directly?" Lin Yuan said: "Besides, if you memorize by rote, will you know why the fish eyes flash strangely?"
Su Mu: “…”
...
"...Are you telling the truth? Those dragons are the descendants of our Chinese 'Five-clawed Golden Dragon'? Do you want to cooperate with us?"
Colonel Tan, who received the call from An Xueyi, almost flew off his stool. His eyes were as big as bells, and the smile on the corners of his mouth seemed to reach the sky, full of excitement.
A dragon! That's a dragon!
If China could get the help of the dragon, doomsday would seem less scary!
"Okay, okay!" Colonel Tan said quickly, "Tell them that no matter what their requests are, as long as we can do it, we will do our best to meet them!"
For some reason, An Xueyi's face in the water mirror flashed a trace of distortion.
"They don't have any other requests, just..."
"That's it?" Colonel Tan asked curiously.
"They requested to put a projector in there. They want to watch the TV drama in which Sun Wukong goes to the Dragon Palace to kneel down and beg for the golden cudgel." An Xueyi silently looked away, not daring to look at Colonel Tan's expression.
I feel sorry for Wu Cheng'en and Sun Wukong!
An Xueyi felt like his heart was bleeding.
The three culprits who followed behind like quails: "......"
Well-behaved, sensible, and dares not speak.
——So a month later, a strange animation quietly circulated in the Special Events Management Bureau. It was said to be adapted from "Sun Wukong Makes Trouble in Dragon Palace". However, for some reason, the Sun Wukong in the animation was polite and elegant. He entered the Dragon Palace with a visiting card and bowed to the Dragon King: "Greetings, Dragon King. I have come here from thousands of miles away. I only hope that you can give me a treasure."
The Dragon King had a kind face and personally handed the best treasure in the palace, the golden hoop, to Sun Wukong. He also showed great concern and care for the boy.
『Special Events Management Bureau』 employee rating: 1 star bad review, what rubbish!
...
Although the dragon clan's demands were inexplicable, as long as the dragon clan could be stabilized, this matter, although outrageous, was not particularly difficult.
After reporting to the central government the news that the Dragon Clan was willing to cooperate with China, Colonel Tan became restless and could hardly hide his excitement and anxiety.
I don't know what attitude I should adopt when talking to a dragon. Should I practice in advance and carefully choose my words so as not to anger the dragon?
What should we call him?
His Majesty the Dragon King? Lord Dragon God? Mr. Dragon?
Oh, I should have brought a diplomat with me! I can command operations, but I am not good at diplomacy!
Just as Colonel Tan was getting anxious, the tightly closed door opened again. A floating figure appeared in the rising white mist.
Colonel Tan said quickly: "Dear Mr. Long, on behalf of all the staff of the base, I welcome you to come..."
A 30-40cm-long, red and soft dragon-shaped toy like one of those Q-version dragon toys in a store was floating in the air, with its two short hands behind its back, but it couldn't touch its palms no matter how hard it tried. It looked down at me, and a voice that was completely different from its cute appearance, full of majesty and grandeur, came out of its mouth: "Human, I heard that you have a lot of dramas about dragons here, show them to me."
Colonel Tan: “…”
...
As the "background board" of the mission, after leaving the Dragon Tomb with An Xueyi and the other four, Lin Yuan sent a message of "mission accomplished" to Major Zhang.
"Anyway, the vacation isn't over yet. Didn't we say before that we were going to take a photo shoot? Then I'll contact Sister Zhou now and ask her to arrange for the staff to come over?" Su Mu and Lin Lang were standing aside chatting, discussing where to go for the photos or what style of photos to take, when Lin Yuan beside them suddenly uttered a small "Huh".
The two stopped discussing and turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"
"Major Zhang didn't reply to my message." Lin Yuan said: "Usually, even if he doesn't reply immediately, he will read the message as soon as possible."
The app they use to communicate is similar to that of an enterprise, and they can see whether the other party has “read” or “unread” the message.
"He must be busy with something else." Su Mu said, "Didn't he say he was going on a mission as well?"
Having said that, for some reason Lin Yuan felt a little uneasy: "I always feel something is wrong."
For people like them who possess magical powers and high spirituality, any sudden feeling cannot be easily ignored, so Lin Yuan immediately walked towards An Xueyi who was meeting with Colonel Tan.
Noticing Lin Yuan approaching, An Xueyi temporarily stopped reporting and asked in a friendly manner, "What's the matter?"
"President An." Lin Yuan's "President" almost frightened An Xueyi: "Aren't you responsible for connecting with Major Zhang? Do you know what mission he is doing now?"
But before An Xueyi could answer, Colonel Tan beside him was stunned for a moment and asked, "Major Zhang? Major Zhang from the N City Military District?"
Lin Yuan nodded: "Do you know him?"
Colonel Tan's smile, which was originally due to his alliance with the dragon clan, suddenly disappeared, and a trace of sadness flashed across his brows.
"We received news thirty minutes ago that the team led by Major Zhang lost contact while on a mission, and most of the team members have been confirmed dead."
