Chapter 112: Turns out I was earlier than them!

Present day Nine-phase World, Tianlong Star Domain.

Once the overlord true dragon of the Tianlong Star Domain, it has long lost its former glory, scattered across the four seas, and is no longer the ruler of the Tianlong Star Domain.

Above the Eastern Sea, the true dragon lies coiled.

Also, those who possess dragon blood stand firm here.

The True Dragon Convention, held once every thousand years by the dragon clan, begins here.

According to the rules set by the ancestors of the true dragon clan, anyone with dragon blood may participate in the True Dragon Convention.

The winner may enter the dragon clan's sacred land to select the true dragon's treasure.

On the endless beach where beasts stand thick, a gorgeous woman in black clothes stands with her hands behind her back.

Behind her, the strong ones of the Qiu Niu, Ba Xia, Chao Feng and other tribes gather, all taking the black-clothed woman as their leader.

"Yo, this isn't the Half-blood Light, Lady Ye Xue."

A true dragon suddenly shapeshifted, flying to the black-clothed woman's side, its tone full of mockery.

"Ao You, after all these years, your arrogant nature still hasn't changed?"

The Ba Xia Clan's strong one spoke in a cold voice.

"Damn turtle! What business is it of yours, you half-blood mongrel?"

The true dragon called Ao You wore a look of superiority, saying, "In the Tianlong Star Domain, our dragon clan may not surpass the past, but we remain the overlord; I have the capital to be proud!"

The Ba Xia Clan strong one sneered, "Overlord? If your pure-blood true dragons were truly that mighty, how could you have been pressed by Qingfan Laozu to set the rules of the True Dragon Convention and not dare to defy them?"

Upon mentioning the four words 'Qingfan Laozu,' Ao You grew even angrier, yet he dared not retort, nor show the slightest disrespect to that name.

He could only speak in a sarcastic tone:

"Qingfan Laozu gave you a chance, but you're useless!"

"Since Qingfan Laozu passed away, you half-bloods have declined generation after generation; how many victories have you won in each True Dragon Convention?"

Saying this, Ao You provocatively glanced at Ye Xue.

"I hope this newly risen Half-blood Light can make you toughen up a bit, so you don't lose too badly."

Looking at Ao You's smug face, Ye Xue frowned.

Qingfan Laozu?

This name…… how familiar it is?

She pressed her hand to her temples and rubbed hard, but the images in her mind grew ever more chaotic, as if something deep in her consciousness wanted to surge forth.

The more she tried to suppress it, the more her head hurt.

It hurt so much that Ye Xue could barely stand, swaying unsteadily.

Ao You laughed even louder, "Hahaha, surely not? You're the Half-blood Light—surely you're not that fragile?"

"Or are you feeling inferior?"

"I know that you half-bloods constantly long for true recognition from the dragon clan."

"Give you a chance, and you'll fawn and beg! You long to return to the dragon clan!"

Ao You laughed wantonly.

The members of the true dragon clan watched this scene, with no intention of stopping it.

In their view, the True Dragon Convention is nothing but exploitation of the dragon clan!

Why should the treasures left by the dragon clan's ancestors be split equally with a bunch of half-bloods?!

What's with mentioning Qingfan Laozu?!

Could it be that a half-blood dragon person, after lying dormant for so many years, still needs to suppress the dragon clan for a lifetime?!

"Shut up! Shut up!"

Ye Xue clutched her head with both hands and let out a mournful howl.

Seeing Ye Xue in such agony, Ao You grew even more arrogant.

"How? You can't even take a few words? If that's all your endurance, you might as well get out of the True Dragon Convention now."

"The setbacks you'll face at the True Dragon Convention will far surpass what you're experiencing now."

"You will die."

Ao You kept mocking, completely unaware that Ye Xue's eyes grew redder and redder, even fine blood lines appearing on her dragon horns.

"Celestial Dragon Snow?"

"Transform to Mortal?"

"Ye Xue? Lin Chuan?"

"Reincarnation? Divine Position?"

Fragmented memories kept drilling into Ye Xue's mind, making her head feel like it would split.

She gritted her teeth tightly, fine beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, striving to piece together the fragmented memories, which grew ever more familiar.

At last, she fully recalled them, and the images grew ever clearer.

In the earliest days of the Tianlong Star Domain, the true dragon clan towered over all tribes, being the absolute ruler of the star domain.

When she was born, she was given the name Snow.

With her clan name added, her title became Celestial Dragon Snow.

She was not only a pure-blood true dragon, but also possessed exceptionally strong bloodline talent, awakening a rare true dragon divine power, making her peerless.

She defeated the invincible rivals of her own clan.

At that time, as the strongest heavenly pride of the young generation of the true dragon clan, she looked down on half-bloods, and even among the true dragon clan, few peers could earn her acknowledgment.

Until one day, when heaven and earth underwent a great upheaval, the entire Tianlong Star Domain encountered setbacks.

The supreme beings of the true dragon clan all vanished.

A sheet of chaos appeared in the tumultuous heaven and earth; proud of herself, she rushed in without any hesitation.

After entering the chaos, she saw the world's sudden change and rebirth.

Eight worlds not inferior to the Tianlong Star Domain and a boundless stretch of land drifting in the endless universe merged into one.

She descended onto the land of the new world and fought a great battle with the natives there.

Fortunately, the natives were not strong; none were her match.

Until she entered the Forbidden Zone and met that man.

The man in her memory was very familiar.

In the Forbidden Zone, she and the man got to know each other through fighting; neither could overcome the other, and they eventually reached a temporary reconciliation.

Later, an incident also occurred in the Forbidden Zone.

Due to the loss of spiritual energy, she and that man were forced to become mortals through transformation, and she set aside the pride of the True Dragon clan.

"How did I turn into a human and still not wear clothes?"

The arrogant self in her memory made Ye Xue very upset—she was actually seen naked by Lin Chuan for nothing? When did I become so foolish?

Given her temperament, having been seen naked by Lin Chuan, she demanded to strip him naked and examine him thoroughly, or it wouldn't be fair.

All that can be said is that she didn't realize the importance of this at the time.

As her subconscious ceased resisting, Ye Xue herself uncovered that dust-sealed memory from reincarnation and merged with it.

"Turns out I had long been married to Lin Chuan?"

"Am I also his destined love?"

"Doesn't that mean I met him before Tu Shan Jiao Jiao did?"

Suddenly, Ye Xue felt a mysterious force rise in her waist, allowing the heart that dared only secret love to welcome light, and her spine could straighten.

"Then what right do I have to indulge them?"

"On what grounds should I hide my secret crush? I was the first!"

This was the first thought that sprang into Ye Xue's mind.

Upon thinking this, Ye Xue began to actively excavate the dust-covered memory; her head no longer ached, and she even felt a bit of anticipation.

In the memory, she witnessed her own wedding.

After also undergoing the process of returning to the path of cultivation, she saw the Yang Zu of the Ziwei Star Domain.

"Hmm?"

"Isn't this Lin Chuan's sister Lin Yangyang? She's also a big shot?"

Afterwards, she returned to the Tianlong Star Domain, but the bloodline that had undergone transformation was despised by the clan; her mother regarded her as a disgraceful oddity and imprisoned her.

Therefore, she severed ties with the True Dragon clan.

In the Tianlong Star Domain, the races possessing dragon blood thus followed her away.

Another familiar name then appeared—the Spirit Clan!

Ye Xue laughed helplessly.

"So... is all of this my obsession?"
