Chapter 100: Ao Guang: Could Bai Lu Be Our Four Seas Dragon Race's Descendant?

After finishing the conversation with He Tingyun, Xing and San Yueqi were about to wander around Chang Le Heaven at leisure, but as soon as they reached the plaza, they saw a crowd gathering there.

Pushing through, they saw a cloud rider lying on a stretcher, clutching his head and wailing in agony; the next instant a golden light coiled around him, and branches sprouted from his body and spread outward.

It's a demon‑shadow body outbreak!

Seeing the plaza on the verge of chaos, a tiny girl with horns on her head and a dragon tail dragging behind her sprinted here at breakneck speed and shouted, "Everyone step back!"

Then the little dragon girl's tail crackled with thunder and lightning, and with a powerful sweeping tail strike, the soldier afflicted by the demon‑shadow body instantly fell into a baby‑like sleep.

Afterwards, she pulled a small gourd from her bosom and said, "Quick, give him this medicine so he lies still!"

Undersea Inferno.

"This… this is our dragon race?!" Ao Guang stared in disbelief at the double horns and tail on Bai Lu's forehead.

Undoubtedly, those are the hallmarks of their dragon race.

"Could a lineage of our dragon race also exist aboard the Celestial Boat?" A wholly azure female dragon emerged from the magma, its sharp claws gripping the rock wall, giggling, "It seems the scene on the light screen is our future."

"How can you tell?" South Sea Dragon King Ao Qin asked.

Ao Run squinted, pointing at Chang Le Heaven within the light screen: "The humans on the Celestial Boat dress so much like the folk of Chen Tang Pass; perhaps the ancestors of those great ships came from Chen Tang Pass."

"No, no…" Ao Guang slowly shook his head, "Where is the Heavenly Court?"

"'There are people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens,' elder brother… how do you know there is no stronger power beyond the Heavenly Court?" Ao Run smiled cryptically.

Her meaning was clear: the so‑called 'Abundance', 'Destruction', 'Hunting' and other Star Gods are forces that surpass the Heavenly Court.

"Elder brother, could it be possible that when the Celestial Boat first set out…" Ao Run began, then stopped.

Ao Guang silently gestured with his chin, indicating his sister to continue.

"When the Celestial Boat set out, the Heavenly Court had already been wiped out by the emissaries sent by those Star Gods. Because of that, the people could launch the Celestial Boat, leave their homeland, and head into the cosmos. Our Four Seas Dragon Race no longer needed to suppress the undersea monsters, so we went with them."

"Thus we can explain why there are descendants of our dragon race on the Celestial Boat."

"Makes sense, but the Heavenly Court being destroyed…" Ao Guang glanced sharply at the sky; the conclusion was still too incredible. With his cultivation and abilities, he could hardly imagine the Heavenly Court's destruction.

"Could we be mistaken somewhere?" Ao Qin said from beside, "That girl may be of the dragon race, but she hasn't shown much of our Four Seas Dragon Race's strength—just a tail that knocked out a demon‑shadow body…"

"Hmm, that's correct; let's observe a bit more," Ao Guang sighed deeply.

He earnestly hoped Ao Run's words were true. Rather than endlessly suppressing monsters in the Undersea Inferno, it would be better to board the Celestial Boat with humans and venture into the cosmos, even if the future is uncertain and life and death unpredictable… it would still be preferable to endless torment here.

The girl had just handed out the gourd when four soldiers in front of her transformed into demon‑shadow bodies and slowly stood up.

"Uh… I mean, let them lie still…"

Since such a cute little girl asked for help, Xing and the others wouldn't stand by; together with San Yueqi, they grabbed weapons and cleared those demon‑shadow bodies, beating them all into unconsciousness.

Looking at the fallen demon‑shadow bodies, Bai Lu finally exhaled, "Thanks, uncle and aunties, for stabilizing the patients' emotions; this Heavy Strike Anesthesia technique is truly impressive."

"Heavy Strike Anesthesia… do we have that?" San Yueqi said, hearing such an obscure medical term for the first time.

The demon‑shadow soldier victims, after this ordeal, fell ill with additional injuries, and Bai Lu sighed, indicating she was overwhelmed.

"Kid, treating patients isn't a game…" Xing said in a coaxing tone.

At this moment San Yueqi began scanning the crowd, asking, "Where did this child come from? Where's her father?"

Bai Lu: "I have no father."

"Huh?" San Yueqi's face showed sympathy and pity, "Then what about your mother?"

Bai Lu: "I also have no mother."

"..." San Yueqi was completely stunned, scratching her head helplessly, as if she had said something wrong again.

"I understand; because I'm small, you assume I'm a child who sneaked out behind parents."

Bai Lu planted her hands on her hips, lifted her chin proudly and hummed, "This is the Celestial Boat! The short‑lived little sister from outside shouldn't be judged by appearance! Our Bright‑Holding clan's reincarnation is self‑sufficient; we don't need any fathers or mothers!"

"I, Miss, have been studying medicine since I emerged from the water, and I am a properly registered physician in Dan Ding Si!"

"Zhi… Zhi… Bright‑Holding clan? What is that? Another name for the dragon race?" Shen Gongbao looked toward Ao Bing, who was practicing nearby.

"Master, the Four Seas Dragon Race has never heard of that title," Ao Bing put down his weapon and replied respectfully.

"Although she also has dragon horns and a tail, this little girl's connection to our Four Seas Dragon Race may be limited to that," Ao Bing mused, "She just said the Bright‑Holding clan's reincarnation is self‑sufficient, which is completely different from our dragon race's propagation method."

Although he has trained under his master since childhood, he still has parents.

And judging by the little girl's soft and cute appearance, she doesn't seem to be linked to the Four Seas Dragon Race's might.

However, since the master saw the celestial veil appear, Ao Bing has sensed that his elder's emotions have been off.

The vast universe seemed even broader than the Heavenly Court. At first the master refused to believe, insisting that the grandmaster would intervene against demons and monsters, but after the adventure of Star‑ranked Bailuo Bo Ge ended, not only did the grandmaster not appear, even the shadow of the Heavenly Court was unseen.

There were no dazzling spells nor aspiring immortals, only the Star Gods' vast sea‑like might, ruling planet after planet.

Recalling the moment Klee Pe of the Guardians glanced at him, Ao Bing felt like a grain of sand in the ocean; before the Star Gods, not only he, but even the Twelve Golden Immortals his master constantly revered seemed diminutive…

The gods were enshrined and ascended, yet beyond heaven there is still heaven, and beyond that, the Star Gods.
