Chapter 94 Dragon King's Soul Bone and Dragon God's Bracelet
Time flies, seasons change, and a whole year passes in the blink of an eye.
The Dragon Valley plane is still shrouded in mist, but the deathly silence and desolation that have permeated it for thousands of years have long been quietly soothed.
"Phew~"
Lu Xingchen stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the two imposing dragon skeletons in front of him, and he raised his hand to wipe away non-existent sweat from his forehead.
"Only the two of you are left."
Lu Xingchen spoke softly, his voice echoing faintly in the empty valley.
Looking around, the once barren dragon cemetery is now filled with neat rows of tombs, a far cry from its former desolation.
In this silent cemetery, only the remains of these two enormous creatures remain: the Mountain Dragon King and the Light Dragon King.
The dragon bones of the Mountain Dragon King are over a thousand meters tall, each bone as thick as a pillar supporting the sky. Even when it stands still, it exudes a heavy and oppressive aura that suppresses heaven and earth.
The skeleton of the Radiant Dragon King, though slightly inferior, was still seven hundred meters tall, with a faint golden light flowing across its surface, emanating a sacred aura.
These two dragon skeletons are undoubtedly the largest among all the true dragon remains in the entire Dragon Valley.
Even with the tireless assistance of "brainwashing" excavators working day and night, digging a grave large enough to accommodate them is by no means an easy task.
Lu Xingchen stepped forward, reached out and gently patted the Mountain Dragon King's cold, rough shinbone, his tone carrying a hint of relief: "By burying you two properly, I can say that I have completely fulfilled my promise."
The somber atmosphere in the Dragon Cemetery had vanished. Thanks to Lu Xingchen's efforts, some plants from the Dragon Valley Small World had been planted next to the massive graves.
After a year of growth, these plants have taken root and thrived. Their lush green leaves sway gently in the breeze, adding vitality to the cemetery and completely dispelling the sadness of the past.
After all, if you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way.
He went to such lengths not only to let the dragon souls rest in peace, but also to subtly build up his goodwill.
And that is indeed the case.
With the affinity of the pseudo-silver dragon bloodline, coupled with the subtle influence of his virtual personality over the past year, Lu Xingchen has now won the favor of all the dragon souls in Dragon Valley.
Even the dragon souls of the two great dragon kings were filled with gratitude towards him.
Just as Lu Xingchen turned around to get into the excavator cab and start the machine, something unexpected happened.
"Buzz—"
Two dazzling beams of light suddenly burst forth from the heads of the two dragon skeletons, like two small suns, instantly illuminating the entire valley.
The light rapidly condensed and surged, transforming in the blink of an eye into two enormous dragon souls, each over thirty meters tall.
The dragon soul on the left has a pair of broad wings on its back, and its whole body is flowing with holy golden light. Every ray of light exudes a sacred and majestic aura. It is the remnant soul of the Light Dragon King.
The dragon soul on the right has no wings, its limbs are as thick as if forged from black iron, and its whole body exudes an aura as heavy as a mountain. It is the manifestation of the dragon soul of the Mountain Dragon King.
"Please wait a moment, human boy."
The Dragon King of Light spoke first, his voice grand yet gentle, echoing through the valley like the morning bell and evening drum.
Lu Xingchen paused, slowly turned around, and looked at the two enormous dragon souls in front of him. There was no surprise on his face, but rather a look of understanding appeared on his face.
He calmly stepped off the excavator, looked up at the two imposing figures, and asked in a composed tone, "Are you the owners of these two dragon skeletons? What brings you here?"
The Light Dragon King was not surprised by Lu Xingchen's calm and composed demeanor.
Over the past year, whenever Lu Xingchen buried a dragon skeleton, the dragon's soul of that skeleton would briefly manifest to express its gratitude to him.
With such obvious signs, it was impossible for the other side not to notice the existence of the Dragon Soul. It's just that both sides tacitly agreed and never explicitly revealed it.
During this year of spending time together, the Light Dragon King completely accepted this human boy.
Despite being a human, he possesses the silver dragon bloodline that makes the dragon race feel a sense of kinship.
Despite his still relatively weak strength, he was able to gain the favor and recognition of the Dragon God and Dragon Soul.
Despite having the perfect opportunity to covet the soul bones, he remained true to himself, not only unmoved by the dragon bones scattered all over the ground, but also willingly spending a year to bury them one by one.
It was because of the arrival of this young man that Dragon Valley, which had been silent for tens of thousands of years, finally had a bit of life in it.
Even the daily "roaring" of the excavator no longer sounded like a harsh noise to the Bright Dragon King; instead, it sounded like a lively and pleasant song.
What shocked the two dragon kings even more was that ever since Lu Xingchen came to Dragon Valley, they would dream of a supreme figure whenever they were asleep.
The figure hovered high in the sky, exuding an aura of dominion over all things. In a daze, they seemed to hear whispers of "the omnipotent creator" and "the all-knowing and all-powerful—".
A creator? An omniscient and omnipotent being?
Isn't that referring to the Dragon God?
Especially each time they woke up from a dream, although the memories in the minds of the two dragon kings were blurry, the power in their souls became abundant without them realizing it.
The soul, which had been gradually weakening with the passage of time, not only did not continue to decline, but instead showed faint signs of revival.
All these changes occurred after Lu Xingchen arrived.
Therefore, the two Dragon Kings were already certain that this must be the protection of the Dragon God, and that the Dragon God was giving them protection through the hands of the young man before them.
As a result, their goodwill towards Lu Xingchen naturally reached its peak.
The Light Dragon King composed himself, looked down at the slightly short Lu Xingchen, and solemnly introduced, "Young human, allow me to introduce myself. I am the Light Dragon King of the Dragon Clan, and this big fellow beside me is the Mountain Dragon King."
"Hello, my name is Lu Xingchen." Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and responded politely.
The Dragon King of Light nodded gently and continued, "We are sincerely grateful for your efforts in burying the dragon remains over the past year. However—"
It changed its tone, becoming somewhat earnest, "You don't need to trouble yourself to bury my and the Mountain Dragon King's dragon bones."
"
Lu Xingchen raised an eyebrow, asking with some confusion, "Why? Don't you want to be laid to rest?"
The Light Dragon King's gaze suddenly deepened, as if piercing through the barriers of time and space, looking towards the distant future.
It spoke slowly, its voice carrying a heavy sense of mission: "We naturally yearn for rest, but some things are far from over. Therefore, we must stay here and wait for that matter to arrive."
It didn't explicitly state what the matter was, but Lu Xingchen had a vague guess in his mind.
The Dragon God split into the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings. In the future, whichever side wants to regain the position of the Dragon God, they will inevitably come to this small plane of Dragon Valley to absorb the power of the Dragon God's soul and take away the crucial super artifact, the Dragon God Core.
The Light Dragon King and the Mountain Dragon King are to guard this place and witness the arrival of that day. It is the destiny of the dragon race and their final mission as dragon kings.
"I see."
Lu Xingchen didn't press further, but simply nodded and said calmly, "In that case, I should leave here as well."
Upon hearing this, the Light Dragon King and the Mountain Dragon King exchanged a glance, then slowly walked up to Lu Xingchen.
A shocking scene unfolded.
These two once-powerful dragon kings slowly bent their hind legs, their massive bodies kneeling slightly before Lu Xingchen. Then, they lowered their proud heads and gently nuzzled his shoulder with their warm breath.
"What are you doing—"
Lu Xingchen was startled by this sudden action and his eyes widened slightly, his tone full of surprise.
"Lu Xingchen, we dragons are never ungrateful people."
The voice of the Light Dragon King carried a hint of solemnity, "You buried the remains of the dragon soul and gained the approval of the Dragon God. We have no way to repay this kindness, so we can only offer a small gift to express our gratitude."
As soon as the words were spoken, the dragon souls of the two dragon kings suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
"Click—"
—
With a soft sound, a skull shimmering with golden light detached from the skeleton of the Light Dragon King;
At the same time, a piece of yellowish-brown torso bone was also peeled off from the Mountain Dragon King's skeleton.
Two soul bones floated in mid-air, emitting a rich fluctuation of soul power.
The Skull of the Radiant Dragon King!
The skeleton of the Mountain Dragon King!
This was the gift of gratitude that the two Dragon Kings gave to Lu Xingchen.
Lu Xingchen did not refuse; to refuse at this moment would have seemed hypocritical.
He reached out and carefully accepted the two soul bones, feeling their warmth against his fingertips. He raised his head, his gaze solemn as he looked at the two dragon kings, his voice filled with sincerity: "Thank you. Friends, I don't know if I can address you as such. Although I've been doing the same things every day lately, I've never found it boring."
Because I can feel the emotional fluctuations in each of you, I can feel your joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Thank you for your company.
Upon hearing these heartfelt words, a gentle light flashed in the eyes of the two Dragon Kings.
The young man before us has gained the approval of the Dragon God's soul. It would be a great honor for him to inherit these two soul bones.
Just then, another mutation occurred.
—
The entire Dragon Valley Cemetery suddenly trembled slightly. A layer of misty light rose slowly from the depths of the earth, displaying colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—
Various colored light spots intertwined and eventually converged into a seven-colored halo, like a gentle stream of water, slowly swirling around Lu Xingchen.
"hold head high--!"
One after another, the stirring roars of dragons suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
Countless phantom dragons emerged from the tombs, roaring to the sky with no trace of sorrow, only overflowing happiness and joy.
As the light and shadow shifted, the seven-colored halo and the phantom of the dragon gradually coalesced, eventually transforming into a crystal bead shaped like a water droplet.
Nine colors flowed within the crystal bead, emanating an incomparably mysterious aura. It slowly fell and gently adhered to Lu Xingchen's right wrist.
A nine-colored chain appeared out of thin air, wrapping around the crystal bead and transforming into an exquisite bracelet, quietly resting on the wrist, emitting a faint halo.
"What is this?"
Lu Xingchen raised his wrist, looking at the nine-colored bracelet on his wrist with curiosity in his eyes, and turned to look at the two dragon kings.
The Light Dragon King looked at the bracelet, smiled mysteriously, and said, "This is a gift from all of our dragon souls to you, a testament to our friendship. It may seem insignificant now, but one day in the future, it may play a crucial role in your life."
After saying that, it changed the subject and asked gently, "Do you need us to escort you out of Dragon Valley?"
"No."
Lu Xingchen shook his head and pointed to the deep pit not far away, which was the dwelling place of the Dragon God's soul.
I can leave from there.
"I see."
The Dragon King of Light didn't ask any further questions, assuming that it must have been a special privilege granted to the boy by the Dragon God.
Don't ask, the answer is simply to believe.
Isn't it normal for this boy to have some unusual qualities, given that he has gained the approval of the Dragon God?
Lu Xingchen stood at the edge of the deep pit, turned around, waved to the two dragon kings, and said with a bright smile, "Goodbye then."
After saying that, he leaped into the air and disappeared into the deep pit.
Anyway, his virtual personality has already been implanted into all the dragon souls, so it doesn't matter if these dragon bones are temporarily stored here.
Goodbye, my friend.
The Light Dragon King gazed at the slowly dissipating seven-colored halo in the deep pit and murmured softly. Then, it exchanged a glance with the Mountain Dragon King and slowly withdrew its divine sense.
Next, they will fall into a long slumber, waiting for that destined day to arrive.
at the same time----
Shrek City, the top floor of the Spirit Hotel.
Gu Yuena sat cross-legged on the soft sofa, her eyes gently closed, surrounded by a faint silver-white halo, clearly immersed in cultivation.
Her breathing was long and steady, and with each breath, tiny energy particles circulated around her, as if resonating with the elements of heaven and earth.
-
Just then, a sudden, unexpected surge of emotion spread from my heart.
The feeling was faint, yet exceptionally clear, like an invisible thread from afar gently plucking at her heartstrings.
"Um?"
Gu Yuena's eyelashes trembled suddenly, and then she slowly opened her eyes. A hint of doubt flashed in her clear, glassy purple eyes.
She instinctively raised her hand, her fingertips gently pressing against her chest, her brow furrowing slightly: "What's wrong?"
The thrill came quickly and went quickly, as if it were just an illusion.
Before she could investigate the source of this strangeness, a familiar feeling that made her grit her teeth surged up from the depths of her mind once again. The power within her body was quietly flowing away in an extremely subtle way.
Gu Yuena's face instantly darkened, a flash of anger crossing her purple eyes, her tone as cold as ice: "You despicable thief, how dare you steal my power again!"
Before she finished speaking, she closed her eyes, and her consciousness, like a tide, quickly sank into the sea of her own mind.
This spiritual sea is vast and boundless, like a starry sky shrouded in silvery-white mist, calm and boundless.
In the center of the spiritual sea, a ball of light radiating a soft glow floated. The barrier of the ball of light was solid and transparent, firmly imprisoning a small figure within it.
She was a little girl with silver hair and silver eyes, who looked no more than seven or eight years old. Her delicately sculpted face had a cunning that was beyond her years.
She was standing on tiptoe, her little hand reaching out towards the barrier of light. The seemingly unbreakable barrier of light rippled like water when she touched it.
The next second, her arm passed through the ball of light without any hindrance, and her fair little hand gently hovered in the mist of her spiritual sea.
A smug smile appeared on the little girl's lips, and her clear voice rang out in her mind: "It's ready."
As soon as she finished speaking, she gently clenched her small hand, and the energy particles that were floating in her mental sea seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, rushing to converge towards her palm.
That was the silver dragon's essence that Gu Yuena had sealed away. At first, she was a little clumsy at doing this and was often caught red-handed by Gu Yuena, but day after day of "practice" had made her very skilled at it.
Energy flowed into her body continuously, and the little girl comfortably squinted her eyes, her silver eyes filled with satisfaction.
But this comfort didn't last long.
"Stop right there! You despicable thief!"
A furious shout suddenly resounded in his mind.
A figure appeared in the sky above the Sea of Spirit. Gu Yuena's purple eyes were filled with rage as she stared intently at the little girl who had stretched out her arm from the ball of light. She was so angry that her whole body was trembling slightly.
They've been discovered again.
The little girl abruptly stopped, a flicker of panic crossing her silver eyes. She quickly withdrew her hand, forcing an innocent expression onto her face, as if she hadn't been the one who had stolen the power.
