"Let's go, Long Chen."
Epoch Skydevil's gentle voice came from above.
He'd kept his promise, and hadn't touched anyone on the Dragon Sacrificial Continent.
Any more reluctance would only make him feel more pain.
Long Chen thought back to when he'd killed Emperor Rain and been forced to leave the Dragon God Domain. Today, he'd been forced to leave the world that belonged to him. However, his feelings were completely different this time. This time, he was doing it voluntarily.
However, it was worth it. Currently, billions of living beings were putting their faith in him, giving him the power of hope. Such a profound faith would continue to be passed down. As long as the living beings in this world continued to pass down their faith, then Long Chen's story would continue to be passed down. Even after millions upon millions of years had passed, new lives would continue to give him the power of hope.
He had no regrets about all of this.
He didn't say anything more. Under the tearful gazes of the crowd, he soared into the sky. Perhaps many people thought that his departure would be an eternal farewell, but Long Chen knew in his heart that this was definitely not the case. One day, he would return to this world that belonged to him, and it wouldn't be too far away.
Down below, the people who passionately believed in him were insignificant. However, Long Chen could communicate with each and every one of them through his god palaces, and he could feel their fervent energy.
"Dragon Emperor Slaughter!"
As soon as he stepped onto the epochal godship, the entire Eternal Life God Domain was abuzz with cheers that caused the ship to tremble violently.
"Faith and godhood. What a miracle."
Epoch Skydevil smiled faintly. Meanwhile, Long Chen stepped onto the deck of the epochal godship. "Welcome to my epochal godship. You're the only two people who aren't part of my race to come here."
Standing there, looking at the Eternal God Domain and the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, Long Chen wasn't in a bad mood. He decisively left the edge and walked over to Epoch Skydevil.
"Do whatever you want. I'm going to activate the epochal godship."
Epoch Skydevil didn't say much. He didn't want to be an opponent, but more like an elder. He suddenly disappeared in front of Long Chen. Devil Wa snorted and disappeared as well, leaving only Shui Lanyan in front of them.
"Be careful, this place is about to be sealed, my two cute little brothers."
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire Epoch God Warship underwent a huge change. The black warship quickly sealed itself. Like a thin shuttle, the sharpest part pierced the starry sky. Through the transparent wall, one could see the people below and the endless starry sky above.
"This journey will take a year. Get used to it. Don't get any ideas. Otherwise, if we leave you in the endless starry sky, you might have to drift in the boring starry sky for all eternity. I really miss the time when the Epoch Warship was complete. At that time, this journey would probably only take two hours."
I really miss the time when the epochal godship was complete. At that time, this journey would only take two hours. "Shui Lanyan giggled and turned into a wisp of blue smoke before Long Chen's eyes. She quickly disappeared, leaving Long Chen and Shui Lanyan in the empty epochal godship.
However, Shui Lanyan's voice rang out again. She said, "To be honest, I really don't know what our big brother is thinking. He actually let go of the Dragon Sacrificial World for your sake. Originally, we could have immediately recovered our strength and moved unhindered throughout the world, but he delayed it for a year for your sake. So, you must cherish such a great kindness. Otherwise, there will come a day when you'll understand what regret is."
She was serious.
Then, she didn't say anything else.
At this time, the epochal godship had already started moving. This destinable artifact was frighteningly fast. Soon, the enormous Eternal God Domain was getting smaller and smaller in Long Chen's eyes. He had never flown this high before.
Sure enough, there were other worlds beyond this one.
The epochal godship was huge, and one could move freely inside.
As they moved further away from the Eternal God Domain, the wishes of all living beings didn't weaken. This proved that Long Chen was still in contact with them. It was just that the further they were, the harder it was to hear their inner voices.
"Although it might be harder to contact them in the future, the power won't weaken because of this …."
This allowed him to heave a sigh of relief. To him, this journey was merely heading towards another battlefield.
Leaving the Eternal God Domain and the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, Long Chen wasn't sad or pained. He wasn't like the living beings down below who thought that this was the end of everything. To him, this was just the beginning. He hadn't lost yet.
It was just that the battle of the Devil Star had finally come to an end.
From the battle with the Moon Devil and the Zero Devil to the Controlling Soul Devil, the Silent Devil, and the Exploding Flame Devil, to the Devil Star's seal being broken and the devils descending, to the Five Extremities Ten Realms Demon Sealing Formation, and then to the War Devil Nameless Devil. Only now could Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang truly rest.
The two of them leaned against the wall and looked at the boundless starry sky above, as well as the world below that was getting smaller and smaller.
"Big Brother, look. The Divine Dragon in the Dragon Sacrificial Continent is exactly the same as the Divine Dragon Continent in your God Nation," Mo Xiaolang said.
"Mm." Long Chen had long discovered this.
"Why exactly? I really want to know too … It's just that whether we can come back and uncover these secrets will depend on ourselves …"
Mo Xiaolang nodded. He naturally knew what Long Chen wanted to do.
"Big Brother, I must save Yan 'er."
This was his greatest desire on this trip. As for Long Chen, he longed to send these three devils to hell, and longed to return to the Dragon Sacrificial Continent. Their goals were the same.
"Let's work hard together. There's definitely a chance. There's hope."
Long Chen was also full of confidence in him. They weren't ordinary people. Besides, there was Lingxi and Kitten. There would definitely be a way.
"The Epoch Sky Devil will definitely know what you're thinking. So before signing the Giant Devil Contract, he should be very careful," Old Dragon reminded.
Everyone understood this point.
However, there was only this one chance. Fighting was necessary.
"We have a year in this Epoch Godly Warship. When we reach that world, we also have a certain chance. Before they recover their strength, we have to improve ourselves as soon as possible."
As long as there was time, Long Chen wasn't afraid of anything.
What followed next was a long journey.
In the blink of an eye, Eldest Senior Sister below had almost disappeared. Long Chen truly arrived at a world with only endless starry sky. Now, he understood even more that the Dragon Sacrificial Continent wasn't the only world in this endless starry sky. Perhaps this place was really just a drop in the ocean.
"This world is really too big …"
Long Chen couldn't help but sigh.
"The infinite worlds are the largest ten thousand worlds. In the endless starry sky, there are countless small worlds with billions of people, as well as many magical ancient regions, bizarre and inconceivable places. In the Primordial Era, the Dragon Sacrificial Great World commanded a huge sea of stars around it, called the 'Dragon Sacrificial Starry Sea'. The rules of the Dragon Sacrificial Great World enveloped the entire Dragon Sacrificial Starry Sea, but I don't know the current situation. Even the Dragon Sacrificial Continent has fallen to such a state. I reckon that the countless small worlds around it have long been destroyed."
In Long Chen's eyes, the Dragon Sacrificial Continent was already terrifyingly huge. There were trillions of living beings on it, which was already considered a lot. He didn't expect it to be one of the weakest worlds among the infinite worlds. Moreover, there were countless small worlds below the infinite worlds …
No wonder the lives of mortals were so worthless in the eyes of Primeval Troll. There were simply too many of them.
To defeat the Epoch Sky Devil, he should first understand this world.
The old dragon had some memories of the Primordial Era, and it was just the right time to ask him. Now that things had finally stabilized, Long Chen sorted out his thoughts and continued to ask, "Do you know where the gods, such as the gods of the human race and the gods of the demon race, have gone?"
The old dragon shook his head. "Of course not. After I used it to seal the Demon Star, I lost my consciousness."
Long Chen was stunned. "Do you know why there are god corpses under the Deity Ocean in the Battlefield of the Gods in the Dragon God Domain?"
"What?"
The old dragon was shocked. His eyes widened and he said, "That's impossible. The deities won't die. After the battle with the Primordial Giant Demon, even though their vitality was greatly damaged, none of them died. If that wasn't the case, why would the Epoch Sky Demon want revenge?"
"I don't know about that …"
Now, it seemed like he couldn't go back. Ever since Long Chen surpassed Ling Huang, he didn't have time to go to the Deity Ocean again. If there was another chance, he would definitely go and find out.
The old dragon was found by Di Jun and refined into a destinable divine weapon. However, Di Jun didn't use it much. He was always in seclusion and didn't know much about the Primordial Era.
"Do you know what the Origin Dragon Soul is? Why does a dragon martial artist need the Origin Dragon Soul to become a true Divine Dragon?" Long Chen thought of this question.
The old dragon said, "I've only heard about it. It seems that the Primordial Divine Dragon divided its inheritance into two parts. The bloodline and the mystical powers are stored in the inherited blood essence, but the true source of power is all in the Origin Dragon Soul. In other words, after obtaining the inherited blood essence, one can only become a dragon martial artist and use the Way of the Divine Dragon. However, it's an infinitely smaller version. Only by obtaining the Origin Dragon Soul can one become a true Divine Dragon. Unfortunately … although I'm a dragon, I've forgotten all my memories."
This was all he knew.
Long Chen thought to himself, "Or it's very possible that the Origin Dragon Soul is stored in the Origin Dragon Palace. Even the Origin Dragon Souls of the 10 Great Ancestor Dragons are there. The Origin Dragon Palace wants me to go there again after I reach the True Dragon Realm, which is to break through the Nine Palaces Tribulation and pass the Great Tribulation of Gods and Demons …"
Perhaps all the mysteries would be solved when he got there.
There were still some questions that Long Chen couldn't think of at the moment. When he looked down, the Dragon Sacrificial Great Realm below had completely disappeared.
The speed of the epochal immortal warship had reached a terrifying level. This epochal immortal warship was actually displaying the power of time.
It infinitely accelerated the surrounding time, causing the epochal immortal warship to move faster and faster.
"Epochal Heavenly Demons are experts in the Time Law?"
Long Chen asked.
The old dragon replied, "That's right. An epoch is a hundred million years. Therefore, epochal Heavenly Demons were the overlords of time in the Primordial Era."
