After Su Zhen dissipated this time, he did not come back to life and disappeared completely.
The person who had imprisoned him had finally died. However, Long Chen did not feel any joy in his heart. That was because, at this moment, his heart was completely filled by the man in front of him. Everyone had a deep love and reverence for their father. Long Chen was no exception.
When his identity was exposed by Su Zilan, the young people present could not come to their senses for a while. They looked at Su Zilan blankly. At this time, Su Zilan was trembling all over. Her eyes were wide open, and her mouth was slightly open. She was extremely shocked. She wiped her eyes several times and finally confirmed that the shadow in front of her was the Eternal Dragon Emperor, Long Qinglan.
"He … how could it be him? He came out of Long Chen's head …"
Everyone had a dream of being a hero, including Su Zilan. When she was young, the Eternal Dragon Emperor was like the sun at high noon and was followed and loved by countless people. At that time, his image was deeply planted in Su Zilan's heart. Even if his image was overturned by the later generations and he was despised by the people, Su Zilan still did not betray her belief.
She felt that this man was not the kind of person who would lose his mind.
For example, when he wanted to destroy the Battlefield of the Gods, no one in the Human Clan could stop him at that time, and he could easily succeed. However, at that time, many old people in the Five Great Dragon Cities and the Seventy-two God's Descendants Ancient City threatened to kill themselves, so he finally gave up the idea. This showed that he still respected the old people.
Otherwise, the Battlefield of the Gods would not have existed until now.
This legendary mythical figure had actually appeared in front of him just like that.
This was the most shocking thing that Su Zilan had ever encountered in her life.
And the new experts gradually deduced the identity of this man from Su Zilan's behavior. After they were born, the Eternal Dragon Emperor was already the object of disdain, and they also disdained him. In their eyes, the Eternal Dragon Emperor was a heinous person.
This heinous person was actually still alive.
Didn't they say that he had died long ago?
Although they did not know how he died, the elders said that he was completely dead.
But none of this was important to Long Chen.
He stood up, his heart filled with excitement. The man in front of him was looking at him with a smile, his eyes filled with peace and serenity. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Long Chen's head, then put it back and said, "I didn't want to appear, but this guy is too annoying. I know you must have a lot of questions in your heart …"
He paused. Seeing the sincerity in Long Chen's eyes, he sighed and said, "This is only the Remembrance I left on the Seal of Time. I've told you before, I don't know if I'm dead or not. Most of the time, I wander in a dark place. The Seal of Time is also a passage for me to appear. However, I still don't belong to this world, so I still have to leave."
Long Chen didn't really understand what Long Qinglan was saying, but he knew that he was in a strange state where he couldn't tell if he was alive or dead. Sometimes he felt like he was dead, but sometimes he was conscious.
"Perhaps I'm in a deep sleep somewhere. It's all possible. Right now, I'm just a wandering ghost."
A relaxed smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said this. At this moment, his kind and forgiving eyes were fixed on Long Chen.
"Can I save you?" Long Chen found that his throat was dry. He used all his strength to say these words.
"When you reach my original realm, perhaps you can try to find out what's going on with me, if there's a chance," Long Qinglan said.
"Oh …" For Long Chen, this was enough. He remembered today's words deeply. It was very likely that Long Qinglan was not dead, and there was a chance that he could save him. This news had already left a mark on his heart.
He swore that he would not rest until he completed it.
Long Qinglan looked around. The children were all looking at him in fear. He smiled helplessly and said, "Today, he barged into your consciousness, and I appeared in a blur. In reality, I'm not sure either. The Void Eon Dragon and the Dragon Jade are too mysterious, and they involve ancient secrets. I can still maintain my consciousness, but I have to return to the Seal of Time and continue my journey in the darkness. But it seems that my appearance will bring you trouble …"
Long Chen also looked around. Everyone was looking at him in shock and fear. Long Qinglan's unexpected appearance might mean that his identity as the son of the Eternal Dragon Emperor would be exposed from today onwards. But Long Qinglan had only appeared out of nowhere, and he couldn't protect him forever. In that case, he would have to face everything else alone.
Of course, he wasn't afraid. Long Qinglan had already given him almost everything. There were many things that he could do by himself. He could imagine what kind of turmoil his identity would cause in the Dragon God Domain if it was exposed. But he wasn't afraid, because he had faith.
Perhaps this storm would be even more intense than he had imagined.
"I killed that bastard for you, but it's not good for you to stay in the human race any longer. Go to the Spirit Tribe. Once you're strong enough, you can come back here and show these people how mighty my son is. As long as you know what betrayal is, that's enough." Long Qinglan smiled faintly. He was even more confident that Long Chen would be able to accomplish all of this.
Son.
Of course, they wouldn't let outsiders hear their conversation. But they looked so similar, and they were so familiar with each other. It wasn't hard to guess their identities. Even if Long Chen could deny it, others would think that they were closely related, and Long Chen wouldn't deny it at all.
"Then, I should go back. If we are fated, perhaps we can meet again," Long Qinglan said.
He seemed to be in a good mood today. Perhaps it was because he had seen Long Chen's improvement. Given time, his future would be limitless.
As the crowd watched in shock, the image of the Eternal Dragon Emperor vanished before Long Chen's eyes. It completely disappeared, and his surroundings became empty. Everything had disappeared.
For a time, Long Chen stood alone in the distance.
His constitution was shocking. After a short period of recovery, he had almost regained his battle strength.
"Father."
Long Chen clenched his fists. Long Qinglan's appearance today had given him great hope. Although his words sounded very vague, and there were even some discrepancies with what he had said before, making it difficult to tell the truth from the lies, at least Long Chen knew that perhaps he was still alive, and that he would be able to see him again.
That was enough.
In his heart, a peerless fighting spirit suddenly rose.
In his chest, his blood was boiling, and his entire body was burning.
He raised his head. From now on, he wouldn't have to worry about Su Zhen anymore. But Long Qinglan's appearance meant even more trouble. His identity was presented in front of everyone, and because of his identity, he would encounter even more trouble.
If he was still in the Human Race, Long Qinglan would be despised, and Long Chen would definitely not be able to survive. Therefore, he still had to go to the Spirit Race. But the purpose of going to the Spirit Race was so that he could return in the future, not so that Long Chen could escape.
The surrounding gazes were initially filled with shock, then confusion, and finally disdain and disgust. Before the Spirit Race and Human Race experts arrived, the others finally reacted. Among them, Di Yu asked, "Long Chen, is that Long Qinglan? What relationship do you have with him? Are you his son, grandson, or puppet?"
He was used to living like a prince, and was used to asking questions. Therefore, he was not polite at all. Ever since he was young, people had always compared him to the Eternal Dragon Emperor. Just now, he had seen the Eternal Dragon Emperor, so he was a little displeased.
Long Chen only glanced at him coldly. He closed his eyes and did not reply, waiting for the Spirit Race to arrive.
Everything in his sea of knowledge returned to normal.
As Long Qinglan had said, he didn't need to do anything or explain anything. As long as he became stronger, as long as he proved himself, the rumors would fall apart.
"Long Chen."
Su Zilan stood in front of Long Chen. She was still looking left and right, hoping to find a trace of that person. However, she was quickly disappointed. She reached out and placed her hands on Long Chen's shoulders. "Where did the Eternal Dragon Emperor go?" she asked solemnly.
"I'm leaving." Long Chen saw that her attitude was good, so he replied.
Su Zilan's eyes lit up with excitement. "Tell me, are you... his son?" she asked.
This question had everyone craning their necks, eagerly awaiting Long Chen's answer. If Long Chen's answer was yes, then this would definitely be huge news. After thousands of years, the Eternal Dragon Emperor's son had actually appeared. That peerless talent, who had created countless legends, who had been worshipped by countless people, but who had fallen at the peak of his power and was despised by everyone, had actually left behind a son.
His son had come to the Eternal God Domain from the Lower Worlds.
The significance of this was too great. Everyone held their breath, just to see Long Chen nod.
Long Chen knew that if he nodded, it would cause a storm that would bring him great trouble. Even if he went to the Spirit Race, he would be humiliated and interrogated when he returned to the Dragon God Domain. He might even be seen as a traitor like his father. Long Qinglan would be seen as a traitor who had betrayed his ancestors and brought disaster to the human race. Long Chen would naturally be seen as a traitor who had sided with the Spirit Race, just like the Eternal Dragon Emperor.
If he nodded, it would mean that his life would never be peaceful again.
However.
Everyone had their own pride, something that they couldn't deny even if they had to give up their lives. This identity was Long Chen's supreme pride. He was such a person. Even if there was an iron wall in front of him, even if his head was bleeding, he wouldn't give up the pride and glory in his heart.
Therefore, he nodded heavily and said, "Yes."
