He was a very important person in Long Qinglan's life. Long Chen couldn't ignore him either.
I wonder how he'll feel when he sees me.
Was he looking down on her, disdainful of her, or was he fearful of her and wanted to get rid of her?
Does my forceful climbing up the Dragon Ladder make him look at me differently, or does he hate me even more?
Long Chen knew that this person who couldn't even love Long Qinglan wouldn't love him, let alone be his shield. Therefore, he never had any hope.
This was evident from the fact that he refused to bring me back to Eternal Dragon City and left me in Massacre City instead.
I just need to be myself. I don't have to care too much about what others think.
Long Chen thought to himself.
With the Brutal Dragon Emperor's words, he had nothing to worry about today. Even if he went down the Dragon Ladder of Inheritance, they couldn't do anything to him.
Long Chen ignored the people looking at him. He turned around and looked at the Dragon Ladder of Inheritance that was tens of thousands of meters long. The Dragon Ladder of Inheritance seemed to exist in the mist, faintly discernible. Long Chen felt like he was stepping on a white jade dragon.
Behind him, after a short rest, other than Jiang Ming, the other four dragon whelps also stepped onto the Dragon Ladder of Inheritance. Apart from Xing Qing, the others didn't want to get too close to him, especially Long Haoge.
"Congratulations."
Xing Qing said softly.
There weren't many people who would sincerely congratulate him.
Long Chen smiled at her and thanked her.
"Let's go together."
The others had already ignored them and headed upwards.
"Okay."
The two of them kept a distance from each other and started moving forward.
Looking at Long Chen's advancing figure, Long Qingyue couldn't help but grit her teeth. She was the one who stopped Long Chen from becoming a dragon whelp. She was happy for a long time, but she didn't expect Long Chen to go up again. Even the Brutal Dragon Emperor supported him.
"Big Brother, when the five of them come down, will there be a Supreme Dragon Battle?" Long Qingyue said while gnashing her teeth.
The Blue Fire Emperor nodded and said, "Indeed, but it's just a ceremony. Moreover, the four of them together aren't a match for Long Chen. The champion will definitely be Long Chen."
Long Qingyue said with a calm face, "This brat is too embarrassing for my Long Family. This time, no matter what, I have to teach him a good lesson. I can't let him run amok and lose face for you and father. If I had known earlier, I would have given him an unforgettable lesson in Slaughter City last time."
Every time she saw Long Chen, she would feel angry. Back then, her brothers and sisters had been dull under Long Qinglan's shadow, and she had not been noticed either. Now, Long Chen had appeared and caused trouble everywhere.
Her gaze darkened. She had already mentally prepared herself. This was an opportunity to teach him a lesson. She would not waste it.
At the same time, Long Chen and the others had truly stepped onto the Inheritance Dragon Stairs.
Every time they went up, they had to prostrate and kowtow.
The other four had already done so.
Long Chen had already reached the center of this white jade staircase. Although he was anxious to get closer to the Cave of Ancestral Dragon, he had no choice but to follow the steps step by step.
At this moment, he was half-kneeling on the ground and was about to kowtow. When his eyes fell on the simple white jade staircase beneath his feet, his mind suddenly spun. In a daze, his gaze actually penetrated this white jade staircase and saw a huge world. That world was shrouded in thick white clouds, and there were billions of lives in it.
"That's the Dragon Sacrificial Continent."
Long Chen could tell at a glance.
The Dragon Sacrificial Continent was simply too big. In terms of the number of lives, it was countless times that of the Eternal God Domain. Long Chen was on this level.
At the bottom of the white jade staircase, Long Chen saw too many living beings. At this moment, he was like a god. His vision swept across everyone, and Long Chen could accurately count that there were a total of 10 billion living beings below.
Everyone's life, from the beginning to the end, the ups and downs, bit by bit, entered his vision. Standing here, he was like the heavens, controlling everything and feeling everything.
The huge amount of information caused his head to ache. In a state of shock, he hurriedly stood up, not daring to kneel on the ground again. As he stood up, everything that he had just experienced disappeared.
Long Chen sucked in a breath of cold air.
Even at this moment, there were still countless voices hidden in his mind.
Laughter, distress, joy, anger, all kinds of faces kept appearing in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of them.
At that moment, he actually bemoaned the state of the universe and pitied the fate of mankind. Life was so wonderful, and so was this world. Everyone had their own unique life, thus forming a colorful world.
Long Chen would never forget this moment.
It was as if he had experienced the lives of billions of people. It was so mysterious, and it gave him a new desire to understand and explore.
Looking up, the other four had already reached the second step. They didn't seem to feel the same as him.
"Belongs to me alone?"
Long Chen silently followed them up the second white jade staircase.
"He didn't completely kneel."
"This b * stard, how can he be so casual about the origin of the divine dragons? He's not sincere at all."
The people behind him started cursing.
It wasn't that Long Chen didn't want to kneel, but after kneeling, the situation of billions of lives merging into his life would appear.
When he reached the second step of the staircase, he tried the same thing. Just as he had expected, when he lowered his head and prostrated himself on the ground, he once again felt the ground turn into clouds and mist. Another ten billion lives appeared in his mind, and he saw everything. From the beginning of their lives to the end, he saw what they had experienced in their lives, and he saw what they had learned …
It was as if he had experienced everyone's life.
It was so magical and mysterious.
However, these ten billion lives were different from the ten billion lives from before.
"Doesn't that mean that I can see the lives and deaths of billions of lives on each of the 99 steps of the Inheritance Dragon Stairs?"
This number made Long Chen's scalp go numb. There were too many people, but this wasn't the most prosperous time for the Draconic Sacrificial Continent.
So many lives existed in this world.
Anyone of these people from the Eternal God Realm would be an absolute ruler if they went down to the lower worlds. If it wasn't for the fact that the lower worlds couldn't support them and couldn't allow them to improve, most of them would have gone down and become kings long ago.
From the initial shock, to the subsequent curiosity.
As Long Chen ascended the white jade staircase, he knelt down deeply and devoutly, pressing his forehead against the cold white jade staircase. This allowed him to see more clearly. There were billions of living beings on each staircase, and Long Chen had witnessed their lives and deaths. He had witnessed everything that happened to them.
Each person's life was unique, and each was a brand new individual. It wasn't just Long Chen who had a rich life. Although many people weren't as good as him, they also had a regretless and happy life. Through their lives, Long Chen was able to understand more.
Long Chen felt like he had become a supreme ruler. His life was connected to the lives of everyone else, and the billions of lives had become a part of him. Long Chen was connected to the 99 billion lives, and something mysterious seemed to appear on their bodies, which flowed into Long Chen's body.
It was power.
They were seeking a ruler, seeking faith.
"Save me, please."
Such voices echoed in Long Chen's ears.
He was connected to countless lives.
"Is this … the feeling of a god? And at the highest level."
He couldn't help but be shocked.
Why would the Dragon Inheritance Stairs give him such changes? From the black jade dragon head to the Dragon Inheritance Stairs, mysterious things happened one after another.
When he reached the fiftieth level, the others had already reached the seventieth level. However, Long Chen was still unhurried. He sensed the lives of the common people. He realized that he seemed to have become their faith. No matter what time it was, Long Chen could actually hear their voices and hear their calls.
"Dragon."
This was the desire in the depths of their hearts.
They were all calling for the divine dragon. Just like when Long Chen was young, he was also filled with fantasies about the legends. In the depths of their consciousness, the one who could truly save them was the dragon.
Long Chen seemed to be in a trance. He started to climb up the stairs. Every time his forehead touched a new white jade step, billions of lives would be connected to him. They contributed limitless power, and finally gathered in Long Chen's primordial spirit.
The Dragon Jade Seal trembled slightly, absorbing the power of the countless lives.
Long Chen felt his body becoming infinitely huge. He was roaming in the starry sky, and billions of lives were living on his body. Just as he was rejoicing, he suddenly felt a tearing pain. He discovered that he was falling apart, his body was being torn apart, and a large number of lives were dying on his body …
"Argh."
Long Chen woke up from the pain.
"Is this an illusion?"
He couldn't help but shake his head. His heart was filled with countless feelings of pity, as well as bone-deep anger and hatred. It was as though his blood was boiling, and he was roaring.
"Protect."
This word became incomparably passionate in his heart.
A long time ago, when he was in the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace, he realized that the true killing was protecting, and then he successfully transformed into a dragon.
And today, this feeling was especially intense.
"What is he doing?"
The clamor of the crowd reached Long Chen's ears.
He looked up and saw that the four of them were already at the 99th level, while Long Chen was still at the 70th level. They were already prepared to take away the four dragon balls.
When he looked back, most people couldn't understand him, and they looked at him with disdain.
Long Chen couldn't forget the tearing pain when his body became incomparably huge. It was hair-raising.
He shook his head and continued to move upwards, forming a destiny connection with billions of lives. At this moment, Long Chen was already a god, not just a god, but a ruler.
The other four took away the four types of dragon balls and started to move downwards. They didn't need to kneel down, so their speed was much faster.
Long Chen didn't panic, and he continued to move forward.
He looked up at the sky, and he was almost at the Cave of Ancestral Dragon …
… …
The afternoon was the limit, and he only wrote two chapters after almost six hours.
