After the second round of the Star Lord Battle ended, the various teams returned to prepare for the next three rounds. This time, the first two rounds of the Star Lord Battle exceeded everyone's expectations. The Illusion Immortal Race produced Long Chen, who turned the tide and allowed the Illusion Immortal Race to miraculously obtain two points.
These two points were very important. If the Illusion Immortals obtained one more point, the Dream King would definitely become the Star Lord. They could even end the Star Lord Battle early. Even if the Illusion Immortals lost the next three battles, they still had a chance of becoming the Star Lord.
Although the Dream King had a high chance of becoming the Star Lord, the Dream King and the Sky Pillar Emperor still had a chance, albeit a small one. The following battles still interested everyone in the Bright Star, and even the entire Nine Star Alliance.
The Bright Star Alliance was still in a very heated state.
Long Chen returned to the Profound Dream Realm with the Illusion Immortals' team. He had finished what he had to do. The following Star Lord Battle had nothing to do with him. However, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he came back to think about the path ahead. To be honest, his current strength had not reached the standard he had set. He wanted to reach the Reincarnation Realm before returning to the Dragon God Domain.
Of course, the Illusion Immortals celebrated this battle. Almost everyone thanked Long Chen. After all, he was only an ally, not a true member of the Illusion Immortals.
A grand banquet, delicacies, and treasures were served.
After the incident with Mo Xiaolang, Long Chen was a little tired. He found an excuse to return to his residence. Mo Xiaolang had even returned the Star Talisman to him. It would be difficult to meet him in the future.
After he left, Gong Qing followed him.
"Mister Gong."
In a garden, Long Chen stopped and turned to look at Gong Qing.
Gong Qing's face was brimming with smiles as he said, "You've already seen what happened today. Even the number one Dragon Emperor of our Dragon City of Life has stood up for you. There won't be any problems for you to return to the Dragon God Domain in the future. Right now, I'm afraid that the five great Dragon Cities are also having a heated discussion about your matter. Once the Bright Star Lord Battle for Supremacy is over, Hogyue and I will return to the Dragon God Domain. At that time, we'll bring you along.
One and a half months.
Long Chen nodded and said, "Sure. Thank you, Mr. Gong."
After one and a half months, this day had finally arrived. Long Chen could not help but feel a little absent-minded. It seemed like only a little more than a year had passed, yet he had already soared to the heavens, reaching a level that most of his peers in the Dragon God Domain could only look up to. He had once again undergone a huge transformation.
He recalled how he had once sworn on the Battlefield of the Gods that he would definitely return to the Dragon God Domain in this lifetime and prove himself to the people of the Five Great Dragon Cities and the Seventy-two Ancient Cities of God, as well as his father's innocence. That was Long Chen's Soyeon. He had never expected that the time would come for him to return so soon.
Of course, he knew that the Dragon God Domain would be a huge obstacle, but after the Star Lord Battle for Supremacy, at least he would not be killed the moment he returned. At the very least, there would be people who would want to protect him. At the very least, they would think that he was an unparalleled divine dragon, so Long Chen was not afraid at all.
"Dragon God Domain …"
It was a place he wanted to return to even in his dreams, for himself and for his father.
Didn't he come to the Eternal God Domain to fulfill his father's dying wish? The moment had finally arrived …
A great fire burned in Long Chen's heart. He had found his direction, and that was the Dragon God Domain.
After discussing the details with Long Chen, Gong Qing left first, while Long Chen returned to his residence.
… … …
In the Illusion Immortal Clan's palace, the Dream King sat high up on the Smoke Cloud Beast that accompanied him. His entire body was shrouded in smoke, making him look mysterious and unfathomable.
Beside him was his younger brother, Xiao Dingyuan. He was tall and sturdy, and he stood ramrod straight.
The Dream King stroked his long beard and gazed into the distance. He said, "This time, it is all thanks to Long Chen that we obtained two points. Our Illusion Immortal Clan has always been strong, so it should be easy for us to obtain one out of the remaining three points. However, we still cannot let our guard down."
To them, the Star Lord Battle for Supremacy was just too important.
When they found out that the Stellar Source had once again produced a Star Core, they were wild with joy.
Xiao Dingyuan said, "That's true, but I'm afraid that the two clans won't be convinced and will use underhanded methods in the upcoming battle. They might even try to steal the Star Core first. In this world, only the Nine Star Alliance has a 'Star Core Fragment' that can attract and find the Star Core. However, if they are lucky, the Star Core might find it on its own … Right now, the Nine Star Alliance has sealed off the Stellar Source. We can't enter, but that doesn't mean that the people inside the Nine Star Alliance can't enter. If they want to break the rules, we can't do anything about it. After all, the Primal Chaos royalty is too powerful in the Nine Star Alliance."
After hearing this, the Dream King seemed to be deep in thought. He said, "I just remembered something."
"Please speak."
The Dream King said, "Hong Chen once said that Long Chen has a female companion who possesses something that we are very familiar with. When Long Chen was in the Stellar Source, he saw the Star Core twice, and he hid it from us the second time. It was especially strange, so I guess that his female companion might be in his God Nation, but she is using some mysterious method to hide it. Why don't we make a bold guess …"
Xiao Dingyuan's expression changed. He said in surprise, "Brother, is your consciousness the Star Core that the previous Dream Starlord lost?"
The Dream King nodded and said, "Our Dream Immortal Tribe's previous Starlord was mysteriously defeated, and the Star Core was also destroyed. Then, it disappeared. Our ancestors searched for a long time, but they couldn't find it. So, we gradually forgot about the broken Star Core. However, if it still exists, someone will definitely obtain it. Long Chen was able to get close to the Star Core. Do you think … that the broken Star Core is in his hands?"
At this point, Xiao Dingyuan's expression turned gloomy. He said in a low voice, "I think … it is very possible …"
The Dream King stood up, his eyes filled with excitement. He said, "If I can really obtain the fragment of the Star Core, even if our Dream Immortal Tribe encounters an accident, I can rely on this fragment to obtain a new Star Core and become the new Starlord. At that time, I will control the bright stars. How many people can fight against me?"
At this point, he and Xiao Dingyuan looked at each other and walked towards Long Chen.
Not long after, they reached the door. Long Chen was working hard to break through to the God of Taishi. The God of Taishi was already so terrifying. Long Chen really didn't know what the last tribulation would be like. Even if he had the God Favored Spiritual Liquid, he wouldn't be able to use it now.
When the Dream King came to visit, Long Chen hurriedly went out to welcome him. The three of them stood in the courtyard.
"Seniors, what instructions do you have for me?" Long Chen was already pondering in his heart.
If it was just to thank him, there was no need for these two big shots to come personally. Looking at their enthusiastic expressions, Long Chen felt that it wouldn't be anything good.
As expected, the Dream King said, "You won two points for our Dream Immortal Tribe and can be considered our benefactor. We are all very grateful to you. Since we are here today, I will get straight to the point. May I ask little friend Long Chen if you have ever obtained an item in the shape of a sword? It is a broken dao artifact."
Long Chen's heart trembled. As expected, the other party had come for the Butterfly Illusory Sword.
However, the Butterfly Illusory Sword could become a 700 dao pattern dao artifact after it was restored. Long Chen wasn't willing to give it to these two. It was something he had given to Lingxi.
He decisively shook his head and said, "Seniors, I have never obtained such an item."
His answer was within the expectations of the Dream King and the Dream King.
As if he hadn't heard him, Xiao Dingyuan continued to explain, "That item was the Astral Core of our previous Dream Starlord. Because the Astral Core was shattered and the Dream Starlord was killed, the position of Starlord was not passed down. The Dream Planet became a resplendent planet. Our tribe once searched everywhere for the shattered Astral Core, but we couldn't find it. This time, the Starlord Battle is too important. We are worried that the other side will play dirty. That's why we came to you. As long as we have the fragment of the Astral Core, we can attract the Astral Core and fuse with it in advance to become the Starlord. This is very important to us."
Long Chen had indeed guessed it. The Butterfly Illusory Sword was indeed related to the Astral Core.
When he had obtained the Butterfly Illusory Sword, Long Chen had heard that it was the weapon of a previous Starlord. He hadn't expected it to be the Dream Immortal Tribe's Starlord.
But now that the Nine Hells Illusionary Butterfly had become the Dao Spirit of the Butterfly Illusory Sword, how could he just give it to someone else? So he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, you two. I really don't have what you're talking about, so I can't help you."
Long Chen's decisive refusal made the two elites unhappy. Xiao Dingyuan said, "You saw the Astral Core twice, so it must have something to do with something. Think about it. Is there something special that moved when the Astral Core appeared?"
This kind of thing had to be denied. It wouldn't be good if there was a flaw. Long Chen shook his head and said, "I saw the Astral Core purely by luck. I really don't know what it has to do with."
Xiao Dingyuan asked again, "Then tell me why you came to the Dream Alliance to buy some materials the first time you came to the Dream City."
They could roughly guess that Long Chen wanted to recover the Astral Core.
This flaw was caught by the other party.
Long Chen took two steps back and thought for a moment. He still couldn't give them the Butterfly Illusory Sword, so he said, "This is my personal matter. You two don't have to ask."
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere was obviously much more tense.
The Dream Monarch and Xiao Dingyuan hadn't expected Long Chen to resist so stubbornly. They were anxious. This was a great opportunity, so they looked at each other and felt a little angry. Even if Long Chen had done a great service for the Dream Immortal Tribe, they couldn't control themselves in the face of absolute temptation.
At that moment, Xing Yue came.
Xing Yue was definitely on Long Chen's side. The Dream Monarch and Xiao Dingyuan planned to let Xing Yue persuade Long Chen. After all, Xing Yue was a reasonable person and knew that this matter was too important to the Dream Immortal Tribe.
Thus, they told Xing Yue everything that had happened.
