Above the Martial Demon Cave, the mountains were green and the water was green.
The mountains stretched for tens of thousands of miles.
Above the dark green pool, the clan elder was still lying on the stone block. He was only about a meter tall, and his body was young but wrinkled, looking somewhat ugly. Beside him, Su Zhen was much more perfect, but he stood next to the green pool with his hands behind his back, his face pale and nervous.
"It's been more than two months, and there's still no news of him. He's definitely not going to make it. I advise you to give up. Don't torture the child in there." The clan elder seemed to be muttering to himself.
Su Zhen did not respond. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Impossible, he will succeed. It doesn't matter if he suffers a little more. I still have a lot of time. If he really can't make it, then he will stay in there for fifty years. Is fifty years not enough?"
The clan elder said, "Child, you are already paranoid. This is very dangerous. Remember, demons are born from the heart. Your heart is now a demon."
Su Zhen suddenly laughed and said, "This is what I pursue. Before a successful person succeeds, everyone will think that he is just a madman. So I think I can ignore your old man's nagging. You don't have much time left, so enjoy your last moments and don't worry about me." Su Zhen suddenly laughed and said, "Don't worry about me.
The clan elder was silent.
He used his arms as a pillow and looked up at the sky, muttering to himself, "I suddenly remembered that when you were born, I was the one who gave you your name. In the blink of an eye, things remain the same, but people have changed. It is my own fault."
Su Zhen turned back to look at him, then continued to stare at the depths of the pool, at Long Chen who was bound by the purple gold rope.
… … …
After making this decision, Long Chen cut off all thoughts of regret.
In this endless darkness, he slowly walked forward with Lingxi. This was an irreversible abyss, so what was the so-called abyss?
There was no difference between this place and the previous place, except that there were more demonic intents.
With Lingxi's help, these demonic intents were not a problem.
Husband and wife were of one mind, and their benefits could cut through gold.
After walking for half a day, Long Chen felt a familiar feeling.
He stopped and looked around. Suddenly, an excited emotion surged in his heart, as if there was something waiting for him in a certain direction.
"What's wrong?" Lingxi asked with concern.
Long Chen shared his thoughts.
Lingxi pondered for a while and said, "We've reached the crucial point. That should be the so-called secret. However, this secret might not be a good thing. Don't believe everything in the end. Don't trust this familiar feeling so easily."
"Alright."
Long Chen nodded. He followed his senses and moved forward, but he didn't expect to meet someone who could excite him.
It was a black steel pillar that had already decayed. There were black iron chains wrapped around the steel pillar, and an extremely familiar figure was wrapped in the iron chains.
"Father."
Looking at this person, Long Chen was unable to remain calm. This was because this was the person he admired and was most grateful to in his life. This was the person who had given him everything.
There was a strong desire in his heart that drove him forward. But at this time, Lingxi pulled his arm and shook her head solemnly. "Whether it's real or fake, it's best to be cautious. After all, this is the Martial Demon Cave."
The eagerness in Long Chen's heart was somewhat diluted by Lingxi's words.
He struggled for a while, then nodded.
The two gradually approached each other.
At this time, the man wrapped in the iron chains struggled to open his eyes. His gentle and wise eyes revealed pride and warmth the moment he saw Long Chen. His face was pale, but he smiled contentedly. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Child, you've come here after all."
In every aspect, he was very similar to the father in Long Chen's heart.
Long Qinglan seemed to have noticed his wariness. He smiled bitterly and said, "As expected, you wouldn't believe me if you saw me here. But there are some things that will exceed your expectations … Lingxi has already awakened eighty percent of her Divine Blood, huh? She really is the person most compatible with you. Both of you are good children."
Long Chen still didn't say a word.
This was because Lingxi was clutching his arm tightly, reminding him that he couldn't trust him so easily.
But Long Qinglan didn't seem to want him to believe him. He murmured to himself, "I'm dead. I've been imprisoned in a mysterious place between heaven and earth, a place you will never be able to approach. Because I've come into contact with the taboo of this world, life and death are actually just a change in status. I may be dead, but at my level, my will is eternal. That's why I'm talking to you right now."
He stared into Long Chen's eyes. "Child, I didn't think you'd come to the Eternal God Realm so quickly. I won't ask for anything more from Eternal Dragon City. You can do better than I can imagine. That is my only wish."
"Mm." Long Chen nodded.
Long Qinglan smiled bitterly. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "There's one more thing. Perhaps I'm still alive. Once you're done with Eternal Dragon City, you might be able to walk the same path I did. You have two bodies of the Ancestor Dragon, so I'm sure you'll be more suitable than I am to fulfill my old dream, which is to follow the Divine Dragons to extinction."
At this point, he grew more and more fervent.
Long Chen was also affected by his passion, and his heart was filled with excitement.
"I can't accept this! Who killed me?"
Long Qinglan threw his head back and howled. He struggled with all his might, trying to break free of the chains. Long Chen took a few steps forward, only to find that his fingers had pierced through his opponent's body. It wasn't real, but an illusion.
"It's useless," Long Qinglan said helplessly. "I'm in another world. This is the only way I can project myself here."
He stared at Long Chen. "Child, I've given you everything. Are you willing to walk this path for me? Tell me... why did someone as strong as them disappear? Were they killed? Did they go extinct? Or did they go far away to a bigger world?"
Under his gaze, Long Chen's blood began to boil.
His throat was dry. "Perhaps... they're all dead."
"Yes, they're dead. Who killed them? Could it be the same person who killed me? What's their goal?" Long Qinglan sighed.
Long Chen's heart had been opened up to him. He and his father were the only ones in the world who knew many of his secrets. By now, he was more or less convinced of Long Qinglan's identity. Looking at the old man, he could see his unwillingness, his anger, and his dedication to his dream. Long Chen's heart trembled. He wanted to touch him, but he couldn't.
"Father..." Long Chen called softly.
Long Qinglan smiled bitterly. "I didn't expect you to trust me in the Martial Demon Cave."
He didn't wait for Long Chen's reply. "No matter what, it's my fault for turning my desire into your responsibility. It's just that I can't accept the end of my life. Whether it's the mystery of the Dragon God or the misunderstanding in Eternal Dragon City, those bastards slandered a great dreamer. They brought me such a great disaster and ruined my reputation."
At this point, Long Qinglan gritted his teeth.
Seeing Long Qinglan's pained and struggling expression, Long Chen suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Long Qinglan was the person he doted on the most in his life. In his heart, Long Qinglan's position could never be replaced. Most of the time, he was illusory, but at this moment, he felt so real.
He had always been calm and collected. It was only now that he revealed a look of resentment that made Long Chen's emotions coincide with his. "Child, I know you will help me.
"Child, I know you will help me. Help me kill them. Kill everyone in Eternal Dragon City. They have misunderstood me and slandered me. Not only do they want to kill the people of Eternal Dragon City, but the entire world is slandering me. They are puppies that have been tamed by the Heavenly Dao. They don't have any humanity at all. All of them deserve to die. If you kill them, then this world will belong to us free men."
"Kill them all …" Long Chen was a little confused. However, he still felt his blood boiling as he listened to the other party's words. It was as if he should do this for him. After all, this was his mission. Kill his way into Eternal Dragon City and kill all those bastards …
This was clearly a demon's declaration.
Demons were born from the heart. Demonic intents couldn't turn humans into demons. Long Qinglan was the weakest part of Long Chen's heart, and it was this part that started the shocking change.
His eyes gradually became hollow. Long Qinglan's resentful expression made him feel very pained and angry. He muttered to himself, "Yes, they all deserve to die. Those who submitted to the Heavenly Axiom and lost their freedom really deserve to die. Their lives have no meaning at all..."
"Chen, Long Chen."
Ling Xi gripped his arms and made him look at her. Her eyes were filled with anxiety and tears flickered as she said, "Could it be that I also deserve to die? He is clearly not your father, but that unredeemable abyss. He is turning you into a demon, so you will kill me as well …"
"Xi 'er..." Long Chen suddenly felt a splitting headache. The demonic intents were too powerful. As expected of something left behind by a Martial God. What on earth was it?
"Are you going to kill me? Am I more important, or is your nonexistent father more important?" Lingxi stared at him boldly.
Long Chen felt like he was struck by lightning. Yes, was he going to kill Lingxi?
He hurriedly looked at Long Qinglan, only to see him glaring at him angrily. "Unfilial son, how dare you go against your father's wishes for a woman? Hurry up and kill her. She's also a slave of the Heavenly Axiom."
"Kill … her." The doubts in Long Chen's heart gradually disappeared.
The powerful Void Universe Dragon Yuan Shen allowed him to regain his clarity.
