That night, Long Chen was standing at the top of a tall tower in the War Dragon Temple.
He had been cultivating for a long time, and today he talked to Lingxi for a while.
Just as he was about to go down, he suddenly felt someone's presence.
In front of him, an illusory figure appeared.
It was from nothingness, and it slowly revealed its physical body.
Long Chen had a very strong impression of this illusory figure. He had seen it before in the Cave of the Ancestral Dragon. Only the first Dragon Emperor of Eternal Dragon City, the Eternal Dragon Emperor, could give him such a feeling.
"Eternal Dragon Emperor, why is this old man looking for me?"
Long Chen was on guard.
In his eyes, this old man was not a good person. Long Qinglan's final fate had a lot to do with him. Even if it was not caused by him, it was related to his inaction.
That figure gradually became clearer, and from the outline, it did not seem to be the Eternal Dragon Emperor …
Because the Eternal Dragon Emperor was an old man, and the figure in front of him was clearly the silhouette of a graceful woman.
Soon, Long Chen had an answer.
This person's appearance deeply shocked Long Chen. It was as if she was born in the night, so quiet and natural.
This was a beautiful woman with green eyebrows and bright eyes. It was hard to tell her age. She was dressed in a light white gauze dress, and her long silver hair danced in the night sky, sparkling with exquisite fluorescence. It had to be said that she was very beautiful, but that was not important. What was important was that this woman had an indescribable otherworldly temperament. It was more like the combination of Li Xuanji's quiet beauty and Lingxi's spiritual energy …
Such a silver-haired woman floated in front of Long Chen. A pair of eyes as dark and bright as the night looked at Long Chen. She was not cold, but revealed a smile that could turn all living things upside down. It was very comforting to look at, and there was no fear in his heart, nor any profane feelings.
Long Chen was just curious about who she was.
This woman's strength was clearly far beyond his own, so she was definitely not of the same age as him. Although she looked young, she seemed to be around the same age as Long Chen, but Long Chen guessed that she was at least of the same generation as Xue Chi, or perhaps even higher …
After all, she seemed to be a little too powerful.
Long Chen didn't dare to be rude and hurriedly asked respectfully, "Junior Long Chen, may I know who you are?"
Hearing this, the smile on the silver-haired woman's face became even wider, revealing deep dimples. There was a hint of cuteness in her otherworldly appearance, making people want to get close to her.
Her voice was as gentle and moving as she was.
She didn't hide anything and said softly, "I'm from the Eternal Dragon City … I'm the third Dragon Emperor, Dragon Emperor Yongye …"
This frightened Long Chen.
In fact, his intuition was right from the start. He thought it was the Eternal Dragon Emperor, and now this silver-haired woman had revealed her identity. She was also someone on the same level as the Eternal Dragon Emperor.
However, he really didn't expect such a grandmotherly figure to be so young and exquisite.
From the looks of it, this woman was already very old.
The third Dragon Emperor of the Eternal Dragon City.
Why was she looking for him?
Long Chen didn't dare to ask first. Seeing that the other party didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, he first bowed and said, "Junior Long Chen greets the Dragon Emperor Yongye."
To be honest, this was the first Dragon Emperor he had seen.
Before, the Eternal Dragon Emperor, the Cruel Blood Dragon Emperor, and so on, all Long Chen saw were illusory figures and bloody mist.
The Dragon Emperor Yongye in front of him was indeed powerful, a terrifying figure at the peak of the world, a person who controlled billions of lives.
The Dragon Emperor Yongye was still looking at him carefully. Her gentle eyes made him feel awkward.
After a while, she said, "I came here specifically to tell you something."
She came from the Eternal Dragon City.
Long Chen quickly asked, "What do you want to tell me, senior?"
A Dragon Emperor coming to tell him something was definitely not because of Long Chen's noble status, but because this matter was so important that ordinary people couldn't know about it.
So, he almost held his breath.
The Dragon Emperor Yongye went straight to the point and said, "It's like this. There may be some things that you can't imagine now, but Long Qinglan's body has changed a lot recently. Even we can't stop this change. If you really want to know the truth, I think it's best that you come with me to the Eternal Dragon City."
These words caused Long Chen's heart to completely calm down.
Her words were very strange.
"He's already dead. How could his body change?"
This was something that Long Chen couldn't believe.
The Dragon Emperor Yongye shook her head and said, "You'll understand when you see it. Of course, if you choose not to go, I'm sorry. Due to the rules, I can't tell you about it either."
In the dark night, her voice was light and gentle, making people feel very comfortable.
However, Long Chen gritted his teeth when he heard this.
He had promised Lingxi that he would wait for her to come before going with her.
"Don't worry, we won't hurt you. We just want you to know the truth. I've told the three Dragon Emperors of the Slaughter Dragon City about this. They have agreed to let you have the right to go to the Eternal Dragon City. They are all good people and they are thinking for your sake."
The Dragon Emperor Yongye said softly.
"Really?"
He didn't dare to go to the Eternal Dragon City first because of his safety.
After all, there were too many people who didn't like him. He wouldn't be as carefree there as he was in the Slaughter Dragon City.
"You mean, his body has changed. If I don't go now, it will be too late. Besides, I can only know the truth if I go. But if I don't go, you won't tell me."
Long Chen asked.
The Dragon Emperor Yongye pursed her lips and shook her head, "It's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just that you won't understand if you don't see it with your own eyes."
Long Chen had made up his mind.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Because of Long Qinglan's body, he had a lot of troubles in his heart.
He didn't expect that the Dragon Emperor Yongye would come to him and bring him such news.
Since the Slaughter Dragon Emperor had promised to take him away, the Eternal Dragon City wouldn't use such a method to lure him there and kill him.
It was basically impossible.
Other than his safety, Long Chen didn't have to think about anything else.
He desperately wanted to know what the truth she was telling him was.
Everything Long Qinglan had done was for her. There must be a reason. Why was there a so-called truth when it came to them?
He swallowed these questions back down.
Seeing that Long Chen understood, the Dragon Emperor Yongye smiled. Her smile bloomed like the night sky.
The way she looked at him seemed to have a special luster. It seemed to be something called motherly, or something else.
In any case, it was very different from Yang You.
Yang You was a person with a lot of stories. Her eyes hid endless secrets.
In front of Yang You, Long Chen was a real child.
"I'll say goodbye to them first."
After all, he still had a group of children to protect. He couldn't leave without saying goodbye.
Hearing that Long Chen was leaving, Liang Teng and the others must be very helpless.
But they couldn't stop this decision.
Therefore, they could only give Long Chen their best wishes and tell him to take care.
Xue Chi had come to the side at some point.
He said, "After spending some time together, I found that you are a good child. You are not as ugly as I imagined."
Long Chen smiled. "To be honest, you are the same."
Xue Chi chuckled, then patted Long Chen's shoulder. "Alright, go pursue the truth you want. I really want to know what kind of changes you will bring to the Dragon God Domain in the future. I hope it won't be a nightmare like last time."
That was the nightmare Long Qinglan had brought them.
Long Chen didn't want to promise anything.
He followed the Dragon Emperor Yongye through the night sky, leaving the Slaughter Dragon City through the raging sea of blood. They headed south from the northernmost part of the Dragon God Domain.
Eternal Dragon City was in the southernmost part.
That was also where the Ancient War God City was, and where Long Chen had first come to the Eternal God Domain. When he had first arrived, he had never imagined that he would encounter such an encounter.
From the Ancient War God City to the Battlefield of Gods, then to the Demon God Domain, the Spirit God Domain, and finally to the Chaos Star Domain before returning to the human race. Today, he had finally reached the Eternal Dragon City he had first thought of.
This time, he had traveled across the entire Dragon God Domain.
In front of him was the Eternal Night Dragon Emperor, her long dress and silver hair flowing in the wind.
She didn't speak much, but her peaceful smile was very comforting.
She wasn't in a hurry on this journey.
Along the way, she didn't ask about Long Qinglan. Instead, she was very interested in Long Chen's childhood.
"You grew up in the borders of the lower realms, rose to power for a girl, fought, and finally became the strongest of the lower realms. You became a legend, then rushed to the Eternal God Domain and became a legend again. Your life is even more colorful than Long Qinglan's...."
She seemed very emotional as she continued to talk about these things.
"It's alright."
Long Chen didn't think much of it.
It seemed very normal.
Speaking of which, it had only been less than twenty years.
"In this world, only Long Qinglan's son can achieve what he has in such a short period of time. If you're not his son, there's no way you can surpass him. I watched him grow up with my own eyes. You're very similar to him, but also different."
"How so?" Long Chen asked.
The Eternal Night Dragon Emperor chuckled. "He is a proud and refined genius. You are... compared to him, you are less refined and more brutal. This isn't a bad thing. It's a good thing..."
The brutal she mentioned didn't seem to be a derogatory term.
"Can you tell me more about my father?"
Long Chen asked anxiously.
"Maybe in the future." The Eternal Night Dragon Emperor refused.
She suddenly said, "Since you came from the lower realms, you probably know that the lower realms are so fragile that they are on the verge of destruction. It's said that there are some borderlands where even a newborn in the Eternal God Domain can tear through space and possess power close to that of a god."
The Myriad Kingdoms Domain where Long Chen was from was such a place.
In truth, if he hadn't come to the Eternal God Domain, he definitely wouldn't have known that the Myriad Kingdoms Domain was a world on the verge of collapse. The level of a world determined the overall strength of the entire world. He was born there, so naturally, he couldn't be strong from birth.
"It's very likely that in a hundred thousand years, the borderlands will disappear forever...."
The Eternal Night Dragon Emperor said worriedly.
