Long Chen asked Mo Xiaolang, "In your opinion, how much of what he said is true, and how much is false?"
Mo Xiaolang shook his head, "I don't understand. I haven't seen the corpse you're talking about. If it's not related to it, there's nothing to be suspicious about."
Mo Xiaolang had the same thought as Long Chen.
The old dragon said, "I've seen the God-King of Hell thousands of years ago. He was no different from now. Back then, he became a god through faith. But now that all his believers are dead, it's normal that he doesn't have any Wish Energy. As for the corpse you're talking about, it's unbelievable. How can there be two groups of gods? Are they fake?"
Long Chen said, "Di Jun is your master. When he returns, maybe you'll be able to tell. Anything is possible now. Let's just wait and see."
As they hurried along, they headed towards Destiny Dragon City in the center. That was the closest dragon city. At this time, the 15 Dragon Emperors and Long Chen's close friends were already waiting for Long Chen in Destiny Dragon City. Luckily, Lingxi's Qian Kun Shifting Formation was sufficiently stable and could still be used for teleportation. As for those weak teleportation formations in Dragon Sacrificial Continent, they had basically collapsed under the pressure of the new world.
With Long Chen's current speed, they arrived at Fortune Dragon City in less than 15 minutes.
The people he was familiar with were all here. The 15 Dragon Emperors and Yang You were all smiling at him with tears in their eyes. Interacting with them gave him a different feeling from interacting with the Gods before. He felt especially free.
Lingxi also came out of her god kingdom. As for Soyeon, she didn't want to take risks before communicating with the God-King of Hell.
"Aunt You."
Naturally, the two of them hugged their dearest elder.
"Children, you've suffered …"
Yang You was very worried about them.
"It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."
The people of Fortune Dragon City were cheering for their return. The 15 Dragon Emperors had tears in their eyes. They were so emotional that they couldn't even speak properly.
This was the joy of reunion.
After a moment of tenderness, Yang You smiled and said, "Alright, everything is fine now. Being safe is the greatest happiness. Everyone should be happy. Don't cry anymore. Come … Chen 'er, let me show you a surprise."
Surprise.
Long Chen was immersed in the joy of their reunion and did not notice any surprises.
At this time, a young girl walked out from Yang You's God Kingdom. She was dressed in green, and her posture was tall and straight, yet she didn't lose the beauty of a woman. Her long hair was tied up in a bun. This was … Yang Lingqing.
"Brother."
Before she came out, her eyes were already red from crying.
Come to think of it, it had been at least seven to eight years since Long Chen had gone to the Eternal God Domain.
To Long Chen, this surprise was too big. He had planned to find time to go down and see how she was doing, but he didn't expect Yang You to bring her up first.
The two embraced each other.
"You bastard! You've been gone for so long, but you never sent me any messages. Do you still see me as your little sister?"
Yang Lingqing was so angry that she pinched his arm, but she couldn't move it.
"I'm sorry …"
Long Chen was so excited that he couldn't calm down. He was full of guilt, but he hadn't had a single moment of peace ever since he'd come to the Eternal God Domain. Most of the time, he had no control over himself.
"If only you could say you're sorry. I'll forgive you then."
Yang Lingqing didn't make a fuss. Instead, she smiled slyly and pulled herself out of Long Chen's arms. She immediately saw Lingxi.
"Big Sister Lingxi, you have a baby now."
The two of them immediately huddled together. With Lingxi talking to him, Long Chen felt a lot more at ease. He took a look and saw that Yang Lingqing had entered the Samsara realm. She was the most changed group in the new world. Kitten had brought back a lot of good things from the Spirit Essence Star Ocean. It was time for him to pay for his little sister.
"Chen 'er, let's have a good chat."
Yang You brought Long Chen and the fifteen Dragon Emperor to a quiet place.
Everyone's emotions had also calmed down.
Yang You said, "After you returned, you also saw the changes in this world. The Eternal Incandescent Stone has changed this world, and the return of the gods has also changed people's views. The current Dragon Sacrificial Continent is an era ruled by the gods. It's like we've returned to the ancient times. It's no longer the world of the past."
Long Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I've already met the God King of Hell. He even invited me to Hell God City in a few days."
The Eternal Dragon Emperor sighed and said, "That's right. The current situation in the Dragon God Domain has nothing to do with us five great Dragon Cities anymore. Except for the few cities in the center, the gods of the other cities have all returned. The strength of those city lords has skyrocketed. With the support of the gods, the power of each city surpasses that of us five great Dragon Cities. They have also taken control of the Dragon Sacrificial Continent. Therefore, from now on, we Dragon Martial Artists have entered a secluded stage, just like we did for millions of years."
At the side, Dragon Emperor Yongye said, "Don't think too much. This is at least a good thing. We're happy to be idle, aren't we? After all, the gods will always be stronger than us. Although they've ruled this world, everything they've done is for the good of this world. They didn't look down on all living things like the Primeval Troll. Although the five great Dragon Cities are no longer here, we've never protected the Dragon God Domain for the sake of status, but for the inheritance of the human race."
The Eternal Dragon Emperor smiled helplessly and said, "Of course I understand. It's just that I'm suddenly left out, and there's still some knots in my heart. I'll get used to it. After all, the world has changed. As long as the human race can pass on through the ages without any disasters, the five great Dragon Cities don't really care about what happens. We'll just continue to maintain the inheritance of the Dragon Martial Artists. Besides, don't we still have Long Chen?"
Long Chen roughly understood the current situation.
Yang You suddenly said, "Long Chen, you also remember that we saw the god's corpse in the Deity Ocean, right? Did you know that the Deity Ocean has already disappeared?"
Long Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I saw it today."
Yang You became a little more serious and said, "No matter what you think, from today onwards, you have to forget about the Deity Ocean and completely integrate into them. Get along well with them and observe the changes quietly. If the gods are worthy of respect, there's no problem at all. You can even become one of them. After all, our common wish is for the world to be peaceful and prosperous, right?"
Yang You is right. At least for now, I have to forget about this matter.
"Aunt You, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
Yang You still trusted Long Chen. He could think of many things very clearly.
"The gods are really too strong. They are the ancient gods of the Primordial Age. They originally controlled this era, but they left this world in search of the Eternal Opal. Now that they have returned to rebuild the world, they should be the rulers. They are strong, and they have a lot of people. We can't go against them. There are still a few of the strongest gods who have yet to descend. When the time comes, we have to treat them with even more respect.
Therefore, there was no reason to stand against them.
In the past, Long Chen had no opponents in the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, so Yang You was more at ease. But now, there were too many experts. Long Chen's foundation was not stable, and it was not the gods' formation. Yang You was indeed worried that Long Chen would clash with them.
After a discussion, everyone dispersed. Long Chen brought everyone back to the Crimson Dragon Palace in the Massacre Dragon City. This was where he lived. Now, Yang You also stayed in the Five Major Dragon Cities. After all, the Chaos Galaxy was no more.
The days were very peaceful.
The entire Dragon Sacrificial Continent became stronger and stronger under the radiance of the Eternal Opal.
Long Chen often raised his head to look at the Eternal Opal in the sky. The stone that was as bright as the sun often gave him a dreamy feeling.
Yang Lingqing, Soyeon, Kitten, Mo Xiaolang, and Lingxi, the most important people in his life, were all gathered safely by his side. This was already the greatest happiness in his life. Under the rule of the gods, the whole world was very peaceful.
Long Chen took a few Primordial Immortal Essences that Kitten had stolen. In addition to the Blessed Spiritual Liquid that he had left behind, he basically used all of them on Yang Lingqing to help her increase her strength. Since she had come to his side, all the more, Long Chen could not let anything happen to this little sister of his.
"Lingqing, do you have someone you like?"
Yang Lingqing shook her head and said, "It's all your fault. With an older brother like you, how can I still see the light in others?"
Kitten, who was at the side, called out, "Aiya, can I introduce you to me? We can make a pair."
Long Chen sent him flying with a kick …
"Brother, I'm going to look for Big Sister Lingxi."
Yang Lingqing quickly slipped away. Her realm was gradually increasing, and Long Chen was very satisfied.
Yang You had come to his side at some point.
Long Chen remembered something that he could never forget. He asked, "Aunt You, who do you think killed my father?"
Yang You shook her head.
Long Chen said, "I didn't understand before, but now I have some guesses … The infinite worlds are too big, and there are too many mysterious existences. Perhaps it was a god from another world. Back then, my father was close to the god realm, and his battle prowess was about the same as mine. Only a god could kill him."
"Don't speculate randomly for now." Yang You understood Long Chen's meaning.
"En." Long Chen nodded. She was more clear-headed than him.
"Regarding Soyeon, I think you shouldn't hide it. If the gods find out, they might attack first. If there's a chance, you can test the God King of Hell's intentions. I think there shouldn't be a problem. After all, you can't let a girl hide forever. Some things have to be faced early." Yang You said.
Long Chen nodded, "I understand."
As soon as he said that, a God Spirit came to the Slaughter Dragon City and arrived in the sky above the city.
The noisy Slaughter Dragon City quieted down because of this god.
