Chapter 40: The Dragon King and the Dragon
"So according to fate, our world has no chance to restart the Aura Age..."
The Chairman then understood what Shenlong meant by the opportunity he had mentioned at the beginning. If this is true, then they still have the opportunity to regain their former glory, which is indeed a great opportunity.
Now that a new era has arrived, there is no point in discussing these things anymore, so the Chairman quickly put aside this "doomsday prophecy" and turned his attention to issues that are more closely related to him.
"I wonder if Lord Shenlong knows the reason for the revival of spiritual energy?"
At present, it seems that this is a great thing for them humans, but due to the precedent of the ancient monks, they dare not be completely at ease. It is best to find out the reason thoroughly.
"It's a pity." The golden dragon shook his head slightly. "I don't know the reason for what happened. In fact, if there weren't so many people performing sacrifices today and gathering huge prayers to wake me up, I might have continued to sleep forever in the dragon vein."
Why? Logically speaking, if the heaven and earth gave them a chance to live, then the gods should be able to awaken along with the spiritual energy.]
[Not necessarily. Although the world has left a way out, it does not mean that the past civilization will be revived. It may be more supportive of the development of new civilizations.]
[That means us?] The spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been revived, but they do not want to save the previous creations, but only support the development of new members.
[It is true that 'Heaven and Earth are cruel and treat all things as straw dogs', treating their former companions so cruelly]
[But this is also an opportunity for us. If these old gods were to awaken, there would not be so many chances to reach the top. Now we have awakened them. I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse.]
[Come on, you're not even at the top yet, you need to get started first, you don't have much ability, but you think a lot]
[But Shenlong still hasn't said whether he is the Dragon King we want to summon]
Shenlong's answer was not unexpected by the Chairman. After receiving a negative answer, he decisively raised another question: "Excuse me, Mr. Shenlong, are you the legendary Dragon King?"
Shenlong didn't seem surprised by his question, and there was even a hint of smile in his voice when he answered the chairman.
"I thought you would ask me sometime. First of all, I want to tell you that I am not Lord Longjun."
[Sure enough, he is not the Dragon King. When I saw the dragon, I felt that he was not the Dragon King.]
[Me too, I don’t know why, although the dragon is also majestic, I always feel that it does not fit the image of the dragon king in my mind]
[Our knowledge of the Dragon King is limited to his title. How can there be any difference? What you say is too mysterious.]
[So is there any relationship between the Shenlong and the Dragon King? Or is it just acquaintance? 】
"I am just the companion beast of the Dragon Lord."
Shenlong casually dropped a shocking piece of news, shocking everyone so much that their eyes popped out of their frames.
[What what what?] The Shenlong is the companion beast of the Dragon King? ? 】
[...I forgot that this was possible]
[Oh my god, the relationship between Shenlong and Longjun is like this, I didn’t expect it, I really didn’t expect it]
[Now that the dragon has been awakened, where is the Dragon King? Are you still sleeping on Mount Tai? 】
[Since they are companions, does that mean that the Dragon King is also a dragon? 】
What makes you still have this doubt? Can't you hear it from the honorific title of Dragon Lord? Come and read with me, '龙.君', the first character is pronounced as long, so it must be dragon! 】
The chairman at the scene was unaware of the conflict on the Internet and was still asking about the whereabouts of the Dragon King: "Then may I ask Your Excellency Shenlong, is His Highness the Dragon King still asleep?"
Since the dragon is the companion beast of the Dragon King, it will be easy to deal with. They don't have to worry about angering anyone due to mistakes in the ceremony.
"That's right. The Dragon King is still sleeping in the dragon vein under Mount Tai. In the late stage of the battle, in order to purify the dragon vein that was polluted by the evil demons, and for the future of the human race, the Dragon King used himself as the center of the formation and sealed himself here to protect the dragon vein forever."
When mentioning his half, the aura around the dragon became much softer, and in a gentle voice he introduced to the world this god whom he admired so much.
[Oh my god, I didn't expect that the Dragon King actually sealed himself here for the sake of the human race]
[As expected of the human race’s guardian, he can’t even protect himself, and all he cares about is the future of humanity.]
[Although I am being ungrateful when I say this, I really want to say that as a God, there is really no need for you to make such a great sacrifice for mankind. You see, if the dragon hadn’t appeared today, no one in the future would remember your merits.
[Perhaps this is the god, the god who embodies the best hopes of mankind]
[Wuwuwuwuwu I can’t hold it anymore, I’m about to cry again, help me, I’ve shed tons of tears today]
[Shen Long really admires Long Jun. When he mentions Long Jun, his tone and momentum are different.]
[Of course, who wouldn’t worship a deity like the Dragon King? Not to mention that the Shenlong is also the Dragon Lord’s companion beast.]
[Ahhh, I really want to see the true form of Long Jun. I can’t wait.]
"Then when will His Majesty the Dragon King wake up? Is our sacrifice not pious enough?"
In fact, what the Chairman wants to ask is whether the Dragon King can still escape from the Dragon Vein? Will there be any impact on the dragon vein after separation?
However, facing the half body of Dragon King, he did not dare to ask these two questions.
Although Shenlong and Longjun are both dedicated to the human race, as the leader of a country, the Chairman does not dare to take the risk.
He didn't say it out loud, but the dragon seemed to understand what he had not said. The dragon didn't show any special emotion about this, and I don't know if it was because it was used to humans' cautiousness.
"As the core of the formation, the Dragon King is not so easy to be awakened. I did not enter the seal, but only guarded the core of the formation from the outside, so I can hear your prayers this time. If you want to see the Dragon King, then I can awaken him."
At this point, the dragon looked at the chairman and said, "Now that the spiritual energy has revived and the dragon veins are full of power, releasing the Dragon King from the seal will not cause any impact."
The Chairman secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it did not cause any impact on the continent, everything else would be a small matter.
"So"
The Chairman straightened his expression and bowed deeply and solemnly to the dragon.
"Please, Lord Shenlong, help us wake up His Majesty the Dragon King again! The creatures of Shenzhou need His Majesty's protection."
Listening to the Chairman's sincere plea, all the people who were watching quietly in the square bent down with the Chairman and prayed to the dragon in the sky together.
"......"
The dragon looked at the people in front of him, who were bending their waists deeply like ripe rice. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that with the passage of time, the human race today is so different.
Perhaps only creatures like this are worthy of the Dragon King's wholehearted devotion.
"I have received your petition."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dragon raised its head and roared again, announcing the return of the former guardian of the human race.
Then he flew back to Mount Tai with everyone's expectations and plunged into the mountains.
The next second after the dragon disappeared, all the mountains, including Mount Tai, suddenly shook. And golden light shot out from the interior of the mountain, illuminating the entire sky in brilliant gold.
Everyone couldn't help but straighten their backs, raise their heads high, and stare at Mount Tai, unwilling to miss any changes.
[Ahhhhh, now all I can do is scream ahhhh! 】
[No, no, I'm too excited. I'm afraid I'll pass out. Can someone give me some first aid?]
[Oh my god, I can’t take it anymore. I can’t breathe anymore.]
[Stop howling, look, the shaking of the mountains has stopped! 】
[A ray of light rushed out from the other side of Mount Tai! 】
[Ah, a divine dragon is following behind us, that must be the Dragon King! 】
[Damn it, I can’t see anything clearly!] Can this broken camera be fixed? ! 】
Just like what was said in the comments, not long after the dragon entered Mount Tai, a beautiful ray of light flew out from the main body of Mount Tai, and the dragon that had just disappeared followed closely behind and reappeared in front of everyone.
The rays of light stopped above the altar, flickered for a few moments, and then dissipated, revealing a graceful and elegant male deity.
This god who has protected mankind for thousands of years seems to have gathered all the beautiful imaginations of mankind. No matter how beautiful the words used to describe him are, they are not enough.
The handsome deity had his hair tied up in a simple bun with a single hairpin. The remaining black hair fell down, winding around her feet like a black waterfall, sparkling with scales of light under the sunlight. She was wearing a green feather robe that seemed to blend in with the mountains and rivers, and one glance at it made one feel as if they were witnessing the ancient times.
He stood tall and handsome on a piece of snow-white cloud, and his eyes looking at everyone seemed to condense the depth of the universe. Surrounded by majestic golden dragons, his extraordinary demeanor impressed countless people.
"............"
Looking at the handsome and bright god in front of them, everyone, including the chairman, had a blank mind for a moment and didn't know what language to use to communicate with him.
[…Oh my god…I, I, I can’t even speak anymore]
[Before I met Lord Shen, my mind was full of words to describe handsome men, but after looking at Lord Long, I felt that no word was worthy of him]
[This is the real god, I can't even think of blaspheming him, I just want to worship him]
[+1, I've been a driver for more than ten years, but when I look at Long Jun, the only thing that comes to my mind is 'he's so handsome', and everything else is blank]
[Long Jun's expression is both dignified and gentle. I don't feel scared at all.]
[Me too, although I want to worship the Dragon Lord, I am not afraid of him]
[Is this the charm of gods?] It’s incredible.]
[It’s great that we can be protected by such a dragon king]
[How should I greet someone appropriately at this time? It feels like the Chairman is at a loss for words. I can’t think of a single word.]
[Hello?] 】
[...Did you think this was a conversation practice? 】
The Chairman really didn't know how to greet the guardian gracefully in a way that would be elegant and appropriate.
However, Long Jun did not make things difficult for them. He spoke before the chairman, "I already know everything you want about this matter."
Several leaders on the altar couldn't help but look at each other. The magical power of this Dragon King was indeed powerful. After sleeping for thousands of years, he knew everything about cause and effect when he was born. I wonder if he is proficient in the legendary Zhouyi art.
[The language is not a flower language, but just like the dragon, everyone can understand it without any problem]
[So this is indeed the language of the gods, do we have to learn it in the future? Why can’t I get rid of learning new languages even after practicing Taoism...】
[It should be much easier for a monk to learn a new language. With such a powerful divine sense, he should be able to learn it in just a few days.]
[But the language of the gods should be different, right? Isn't there an old saying that goes 'Words are followed by laws'? How can a language that can do this be easy to learn?】
Are you thinking too much? Let’s solve the introductory problem first.]
[Why did Long Jun’s words turn into classical Chinese when translated? How strange! What Shenlong said just now didn’t sound like classical Chinese to us.]
[It seems so. It is indeed quite strange. Perhaps the language spoken by the Dragon Lord is even more ancient? ? 】
Just when everyone was guessing, Long Jun spoke again. Fortunately, this time everyone heard normal vernacular. I don’t know whether the classical Chinese text just now is really as netizens speculated, and the language used is even more ancient.
"To cultivate the truth and seek the truth, the skills are the foundation. Since you have this opportunity, it is my duty to help you."
"yeah!"
"Ah~"
"Great! We can practice now!!"
“Hahahahahaha, I’ve finally waited for this day!”
"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Long!"
[I love you, Long Jun!] ! 】
[Hahahaha, I can finally practice!] 】
[Ahhhhhh, I want to buy some fireworks to celebrate. I’m so happy! 】
[Lord Dragon is the eternal God in my heart!] I love you~】
[My belief from now on will be the Dragon King!] 】
After hearing the promise made by Long Jun, the audience both in person and online couldn't help but cheer. Everyone hugged and high-fived the people around them, bowed to the Dragon King in mid-air to express their gratitude, and shouted words of celebration. In an instant, the huge square became as lively as a market.
The Dragon King, standing high in the sky, couldn't help but soften his expression when he saw how they were overwhelmed with emotion. He smiled as he silently watched the humans' carnival.
Of course, the leaders on the altar couldn't help but smile excitedly, but they had to consider their image and at least restrained the urge to cheer with everyone.
As for the foreign friends who were mixed in the bustling crowd, the expressions on their faces were not that happy, which was understandable, after all, their god has not appeared yet.
However, this time when they came to plant flowers to participate in the festival, they also made a deal with the chairman of the flower-planting company. They used some resources as a trade in exchange for the chairman's help in asking the flower-planting gods what was going on with the Western gods and why there had been no news.
After the flower grower made a huge profit, he agreed to the deal. After all, they are all people of this planet. They have no intention of unifying the world by growing flowers, but they still have to maintain a balance.
After everyone had been making noise for a while, the chairman called for a pause. The ceremony had not officially ended yet, and now was not the time to go completely wild.
