Chapter 605: Long Time No See, Little Antares
The road paved with dragon jade came to an end. Lin
The mist cleared, and the view opened up.
Inside the palace, the second building came into view.
This was a huge circular platform, about a hundred meters in diameter and five meters high, also entirely paved with dragon jade.
Moreover, the dragon jade used to pave the platform was of obviously higher quality, each piece about one meter in length and width, containing even more astonishing law power.
Lin Moryu had already been amazed by the dragon jade before, and he had tried using detection spells, but they yielded no answers.
The detection spells couldn’t identify the origin of the dragon jade.
But the energy within it was real, and Lin Moryu couldn’t be mistaken.
Based on Lin Moryu’s understanding of dragon jade, any item containing the power of laws was a mythological item. Any piece of dragon jade was worth a fortune.
But here, it was merely used for paving roads and platforms.
Compared to the huge palace, the circular platform, though noble, was not large.
Lin Moryu was about to step onto it when a powerful aura descended.
His vision blurred slightly, and a dragon appeared on the platform.
Not a giant dragon!
But the kind of dragon in Lin Moryu’s memory, a Chinese dragon.
Its body was over two hundred meters long, coiled on the platform, its head slightly raised, staring at Lin Moryu.
Being stared at by it, Lin Moryu felt a chilling sensation, as if he was being watched by some terrifying existence.
He was acutely aware that if the dragon wanted to kill him, it would only take a thought, no need to lift a finger.
The difference in strength was too great.
Lin Moryu found it difficult to discern whether this dragon was stronger than Antares.
"Could it be a super god?"
Lin Moryu was certain it was stronger than the Dragon Emperor and Demon Emperor, who were half-step super gods.
There was no comparison between them.
The dragon stared at Lin Moryu without speaking, and Lin Moryu also remained silent, maintaining his composure.
Lin Moryu did not show fear and continued to meet the dragon’s gaze.
After a full ten seconds, the dragon’s voice slowly sounded, "Your soul carries the scent of my clan." Lin Moryu was startled, instinctively thinking the dragon was referring to the aura left from killing dragon clan members. But then he realized that wasn’t the case.
"Chinese dragon, descendant of the dragon!"
Lin Moryu’s mind raced, suddenly thinking of a possibility.
Before he could speak, the dragon’s voice came again, "Your ancestors must have had some connection with our dragon clan, and their soul bloodline was tainted with our clan’s aura. But after so many generations, the aura in your soul is very weak, almost undetectable."
Lin Moryu was now 100% certain that what the dragon said must be related to his identity before transmigrating.
It was his soul that had transmigrated, and the aura it mentioned was also in his soul.
Lin Moryu suddenly understood many things. The dragon was very strong, but it actually had no intention of killing him. The fear he felt was entirely due to the vast difference in strength.
Lin Moryu finally spoke, "May I ask how to address you?"
The dragon did not answer Lin Moryu’s question but continued, "Besides your soul, your body also carries the aura of my clan. It seems you have encountered my clansmen!"
Without any visible action, the scale of Antares in Lin Moryu’s pocket flew out automatically.
Lin Moryu didn’t know how it did it; this was his life-saving charm.
But now he watched it fly away.
Lin Moryu didn’t dare to move, nor could he move.
An invisible force bound him, making him immobile.
This was the difference in strength, and for the first time, Lin Moryu realized how vast the gap could be.
Two years ago, when he had just completed his job transfer and met Bai Yiyuan, he had never felt this way. The dragon before him was too terrifying.
Lin Moryu thought this dragon must be the Dragon God mentioned by the giant dragons.
Antares’s scale flew to the dragon, then began to shine.
The dragon activated the scale, and Antares’s voice came from it, "You brat, did you get it done?"
Lin Moryu smiled bitterly, "No."
"So it’s you!" The dragon seemed to remember Antares and spoke.
"Damn!" A strange cry came from the scale, "Why are you awake!" The dragon chuckled, "Just happened to wake up!"
Its eyes suddenly shot out two golden beams, falling on the scale, making it shine brilliantly. The dragon scale sparkled, and a phantom appeared on it.
Lin Moryu recognized it at a glance; it was Antares.
He recognized Antares’s big head.
But the next scene shocked him again.
Antares appeared in the phantom, in full form, not just a head.
Previously, Lin Moryu had only seen Antares’s head; its body had always been hidden.
Now he finally saw it clearly.
Antares was also in the form of a Chinese dragon.
No, not exactly the same.
Compared to the dragon before him, Antares had an extra pair of dragon wings, similar to those of a giant dragon.
It was this pair of dragon wings that made a fundamental difference between the two.
The dragon looked majestic, powerful, and full of beauty.
Antares also had a similar aura, but the pair of dragon wings somewhat ruined the beauty, making it less harmonious.
The dragon said, "Long time no see, Little Antares."
Little Antares...
Lin Moryu instantly felt a strange sense of amusement.
Antares, who had lived for countless years, was being called Little Antares.
Obviously, the dragon before him was even more ancient.
Antares did not refute, instead, it respectfully said, "Long time no see, Dragon God."
So it was indeed the Dragon God.
Lin Moryu was enlightened.
Moreover, from Antares’s words, it was clear that Antares did not wish to meet the Dragon God. But coincidentally, the Dragon God had awakened, and it could only be said that his timing was unfortunate.
Lin Moryu could almost feel Antares’s mood at this moment, surely very frustrated.
The Dragon God said, "Little Antares, after all these years, are you still angry with me?"
Antares shook its head, "I dare not."
"Hehe!" The Dragon God laughed, "It’s not that you’re not angry, but that you don’t dare."
Antares shook its head again, "Then let’s say I’m not angry."
It was as if saying, you’re the Dragon God, you’re more powerful, whatever you say goes. The Dragon God did not dwell on this issue, instead saying, "You let this human enter the [Dragon King’s Palace] to retrieve your two dragon pearls, right?"
Antares admitted frankly, "Yes."
The Dragon God asked, "Out of the sixteen dragon pearls, how many have you found?"
"Ten, with the two in your possession, that makes twelve." Antares did not hide anything and spoke the truth.
The Dragon God asked, "Do you know where the remaining four are?"
Antares shook its head, "I have some guesses, but I’m not sure yet."
The Dragon God sighed, "Back then, I had no choice..."
At this moment, Antares’s large ears in the phantom suddenly folded, clearly not wanting to hear the Dragon God’s explanation.
The Dragon God did not continue, only letting out a long sigh.
"Your dragon pearls, I will let this human take them back."
"Perhaps we will not meet again in the future, take care of yourself."
Antares’s ears twitched, clearly hearing this, but it said nothing.
Lin Moryu sensed something unusual in the words, indicating a special relationship between the two.
The light from the scale gradually faded and flew back into Lin Moryu’s pocket.
Then Lin Moryu felt a lightness all over, the binding force disappeared.
At this moment, Lin Moryu heard a long sigh.
It was like the sigh of an old man, carrying a hint of reluctance.
Lin Moryu felt a lightness all over, the binding force disappeared, and he regained his freedom.
Two pearls appeared before the Dragon God, belonging to Antares, still carrying Antares’s aura.
The two pearls flew into Lin Moryu’s hands, and he quickly took out a box to store them, then put them into his storage space.
At this moment, he couldn’t hesitate; what if the Dragon God changed its mind? He couldn’t fight it, and there was nothing he could do but stare.
For whatever reason, obtaining the dragon pearls was one of the best outcomes.
"Thank you, Dragon God!" Lin Moryu sincerely thanked.
The Dragon God said solemnly, "These originally belonged to Antares, you are just taking them back to him." Lin Moryu earnestly promised, "I will personally hand them to Antares."
The Dragon God said, "I can see that you and Antares have a good relationship, you should be his friend." Lin Moryu admitted frankly, "Yes, I am his friend."
The Dragon God chuckled, "Little Antares actually has a friend, it seems you are quite special."
Lin Moryu said nothing, knowing that the relationship between the Dragon God and Antares was not ordinary.
But since neither the Dragon God nor Antares spoke of it, Lin Moryu wisely did not ask.
Some things can be asked, some cannot.
Asking might cost one’s life.
Many secrets are better known less, to live longer.
Lin Moryu, though curious, was not foolish and would not let curiosity kill the cat.
Lin Moryu changed the subject, "Dragon God, what is my next assessment?"
The Dragon God shook its head, "No need, you have passed the assessment."
Lin Moryu was slightly stunned, he had been ready for a big fight, how had he passed the assessment?
There must be something fishy, probably related to Antares.
