Outside the Weiyang Palace, the Blue Fire Emperor found the Eternal Dragon Emperor.
It was already night time. The Eternal Dragon Emperor floated in the dark. Even in front of his son, he was a vague figure. His voice was extremely harsh. "Why have you come to me?"
The Blue Fire Emperor took a deep breath and said, "I don't know if the three Dragon Emperors of the Devouring Dragon City have contacted you. They seem to want to kill Long Chen as soon as possible. Hence, they suggested that I use the Green Fire of Chaos to burn him to his original form in front of the Eternal Dragon City one month later. Then, I'll kill him to prevent any future troubles."
Hearing this, the Eternal Dragon Emperor was silent for a moment. Finally, he said, "They did tell me about this. In addition, the two Dragon Emperors of the Dragon City know his true identity. They also asked me to find out the truth as soon as possible. If Long Chen can't give us an explanation and proof, we can only kill him. These are all confirmed. The only thing that is not confirmed is the time."
Hearing the Eternal Dragon Emperor's attitude, the Blue Fire Emperor was very happy.
He said, "Father, you should have done this a long time ago. It's been so many years, and we haven't had a good talk. What happened to Long Qinglan all those years ago was truly regrettable, but the facts have proven that we were right, didn't we? In the end, he became a demon, and even his son is a demon. The father and son have long had no relationship with you, and we are your true children. Therefore, I would like to be so bold as to say this. I hope that Father can disregard the relationship between you and Long Chen, and let it affect your judgment. Naturally, the sooner the better. If Long Chen needs proof, then give him a month.
The Eternal Dragon Emperor remained silent.
Until the Blue Fire Emperor couldn't take it anymore, he said, "Blue Fire, do you really hate Long Qinglan that much?"
The Blue Fire Emperor was slightly stunned. "It's all in the past. I don't hate him now. He's just a dead demon, a dead demon. Of course, I won't hold a grudge against him because I've lost to him many times. Now that I've found the reason for my defeat, I'm actually very happy. He wasn't that powerful. He could defeat me because he wasn't human, and neither was his son."
"Hehe."
The Eternal Dragon Emperor's voice was so cold that it was trembling.
He said, "At the very least, I can be sure that when he was young, he displayed peerless talent, it had nothing to do with this monster today. Of course, I can't be sure about his son. Since you said one month, and they also suggested one month, then one month it is. You should prepare well. If it's still the same after one month, you can wait to burn Long Chen to death. That would also fulfill your wish."
Hearing this affirmative answer, the Blue Fire Emperor was secretly delighted.
It seemed that from today onwards, he had really snatched back the attention that Long Qinglan had snatched away. At that time, he was too dazzling, causing the Eternal Dragon Emperor to only have eyes for Long Qinglan. During that time, the Blue Fire Emperor lived in extreme depression for countless years.
"Father, I'm leaving."
The Blue Fire Emperor bade farewell to the Eternal Dragon Emperor and strode away. He knew what he had to do.
The so-called proof that Long Chen had found was nothing more than nonsense. He was trapped in the Weiyang Palace, so how could he prove it? Moreover, the Blue Fire Emperor believed what he saw. Therefore, in this one month, it was nothing more than preparation, publicity, and so on. He wanted to attract all the experts in the world, and then let Long Chen show his true colors in front of everyone. If he killed him at that time, the Blue Fire Emperor would only become a hero in history. In the future, no one would feel sorry for Long Chen's death.
After all, Long Chen was too heaven-defying. His death was equivalent to the human race losing another Eternal Dragon Emperor.
Therefore, this was the safest way to kill him.
After the Blue Fire Emperor left, the Eternal Dragon Emperor came to the deep courtyard.
Long Chen was working hard, and the Eternal Night Dragon Emperor accompanied him under the night sky.
This time, the Eternal Dragon Emperor was extremely serious and said, "After discussing with the other seven or eight Dragon Emperors, the initial conclusion is that we will give you at most one month. Within one month, if you still can't prove your innocence and that you are a human and not an evil demon, then we can only escort you to the Eternal Dragon City's gate in front of all the experts in the world and burn you with the Chaos Green Fire."
"What?"
The Eternal Night Dragon Emperor's face instantly turned cold, and he said angrily, "Eternal, what kind of bullsh * t decision is this? Why don't I know who suggested this? The three from the Devouring Dragon City, or who else?"
The Eternal Dragon Emperor knew that she would find trouble with him. "Eternal, get this straight.
I am the First Dragon Emperor, and I have the highest decision-making power. Firmament and I have agreed on this matter, so even if you object, it's useless. We can't take this lightly. The people in the world are waiting for us to give them an explanation, and this matter can't be delayed any longer. Moreover, one month is already a long time. If he can't complete it within a month, it's useless no matter how much time we give him. Let me tell you, those who deserve to die will die eventually. Moreover, we still don't know whether he is a human or not. "
These words made the Eternal Night Dragon Emperor angrier and angrier. His long silver hair danced in the air, and his pair of black eyes gradually turned silver. This was a very deep silver color, like a dream or fantasy, hiding the vast world of the night sky.
"Eternal, you better think carefully. He clearly knows who he is."
She was practically grinding her teeth as she said this.
Hearing this, the Eternal Dragon Emperor curled his lips, and said, "Alright, stop talking about the past. I've already said that I don't even know who they are now. Do you know if that person in the well is Long Qinglan? Do you know if he was a teenager, or an adult, or after he became the Eternal Dragon Emperor? Do you know?"
They argued more and more fiercely.
At this moment, Long Chen raised his head and interrupted them, and said, "One month is enough."
He didn't want the Eternal Night Dragon Emperor to be too angry about this matter. In fact, as the Eternal Dragon Emperor said, if they couldn't force the Dark Yama Beast out in a month, they might not be able to do anything no matter how long they dragged it out.
"At least you know what's good for you, young man. You have a backbone. But reality is not as simple as words. If you want to live, prove it to me. If you are a monster, then you have nothing to do with me."
With that, he disappeared again, and left.
The Eternal Night Dragon Emperor took a deep breath. She looked at Long Chen, and shook her head, and said helplessly, "You shouldn't have agreed to him."
"That's just to give myself pressure."
Long Chen squinted his eyes.
"I'll try my best first."
Now, he didn't want to say anything more.
Just as the Eternal Dragon Emperor said, if he wanted to live, he had to prove it.
Everything else was useless, and there was no need to say too much.
The resolute and determined look on the young man's face suddenly gave the Eternal Night Dragon Emperor a lot of hope. Even now, he didn't change his expression at all. Even in the face of death, he could still remain calm. What could defeat such a young man?
She didn't know that what made Long Chen want to live the most was responsibility.
After what had happened, he didn't even dare to tell Lingxi. This went against the vow they had made back then. But he had no regrets. He had an incomparably strong desire to get through this, to see her, to see his future child.
He didn't want his child to lose his father at a young age, or even have to bear the same burden as him. His own father would be seen as a demon, a demon.
That would be the truly terrifying thing.
That would be the result that made Long Chen's hair stand on end.
Because of this, he even wanted to use the God Slaying Sword to cut open every part of his body, just to find the Black Yama Beast.
In fact, he really did it.
After some time passed, and there were still no results, Long Chen calmly took out the God Slaying Sword. He wanted to use the tip of the sword to pierce into every nook and cranny of his body. He didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to find the Black Yama Beast.
This would definitely be a terrifying and painful process.
He would constantly destroy his own body, and then use Origin of Dreams to recover.
The pain and exhaustion didn't change his expression at all.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't seem to be tormenting his own body. He made himself a bloody mess, all for the sake of survival, for the sake of protection and responsibility. Most of the time, this was something a man had to bear.
Looking at this bloody scene, Dragon Emperor Yongye was greatly shocked.
How strong of a mind did he have to be to be able to do this?
Or rather, this was a miracle. She didn't know why he was so strong and persistent. In fact, she had never seen this side of him from Long Qinglan. This was also the biggest difference between Long Chen and his father. Not only would he be ruthless to others, he would also be ruthless to himself. It wasn't just Long Qinglan's credit that he could get to where he was today. His own hard work accounted for a large part of it.
As he pierced his body again and again, time passed quickly again. Long Chen didn't bother to calculate the time. He followed his own steps to complete the exploration bit by bit, until he had injured every part of his body. He didn't miss a single part. The only thing left was his head.
"Don't tell me I'm hiding here?"
Up until now, Long Chen seemed to have forgotten about the pain.
He started the last step.
But at this moment, Dragon Emperor Yongye had to remind him.
"Long Chen, there's only one day left …"
In fact, she was already very helpless. The more she knew about Long Chen, the more she didn't want him to die. But when everyone in the world wanted him dead, when all the other Dragon Emperors wanted him dead, she couldn't stop them.
"Don't panic, it's the last step."
But Long Chen comforted her as if nothing had happened.
He held the God Slaying Sword horizontally in front of his eyes. The blade reflected his pair of scarlet eyes.
"Do you think you can hide from my search by hiding in my head? Isn't it just splitting my head open? Do you think I won't dare to do it?"
