Chapter 1493: Wengfaluo Si 3.6 (512)

~6 min read 1,164 words

Dragon Clan.

"De Miu Ge?"

When Na Ke Xia uttered these three words, everyone in the principal's office felt a chill run down their spine.

Anyone with even a basic understanding of Platonic philosophy knows exactly what these three words refer to.

"On our Earth, the three words 'De Miu Ge' originally referred to the world's artisan or creator." Angre pressed his cigar into the ashtray, the last wisp of blue smoke slowly dissipating, "... quite interesting—could this word also come from the cosmos?"

If the Dragon Clan on Earth, led by the Black King, are descendants of the "Heavenly Abyss Myriad Dragon Ancestor" in the cosmos and migrated to Earth during their exodus, then the three words "De Miu Ge" could possibly have been passed down from the Dragon Clan and later expanded upon through Plato's philosophical ideas on Earth.

"But by today, the meaning of 'De Miu Ge' on Earth may have already diverged from what Na Ke Xia meant." Schneider said softly, "But if the two meanings are close, then his 'De Miu Ge' can be understood as 'the creator of Wengfaluo Si'."

"Then that's strange—could Laigushi not be the creator of Wengfaluo Si?" Gudelian finally couldn't help but ask, "He led so many calculations; by rights he should be considered the creator. And hearing Na Ke Xia say... 'De Miu Ge' can even make Laigushi feel a hint of fear?"

Something that could make Laigushi fearful... if this news reached Black Tower and Screw Gum, I wonder how the two would react?

"On Earth, 'De Miu Ge' refers to a god." Angre gave a light chuckle, "Could it be that Wengfaluo Si still has a 'god' that would make Laigushi fearful?"

"The only thing that could make Laigushi fearful should be nothing other than 'the Iron Tomb failing to be born successfully'?" Schneider pushed his wheelchair to the window, gazing at the drizzling rain curtain outside, "I don't believe Wengfaluo Si has any other 'god,' but I do believe this 'De Miu Ge' is very likely related to the birth of the Iron Tomb... even possibly a crucial variable concerning its birth."

Dan Heng followed the light's guidance to the depths of Shu Ting.

"Only to see jagged rock walls rising from deep within the earth, as if carved by knives and split by axes, layer upon layer, with threads of golden light winding through them, dazzlingly bright."

""Shu Ting..." Dan Heng raised his head to gaze at the surrounding forest, unable to help but sigh, "Even the branches and leaves of the sacred tree have turned gold, all for the star—Bai E gave his all. Since 'Destruction' has utterly scattered the Memory Tide, it's time to delve deeper.""

"Suddenly, a childish wail came from Dan Heng's ear."

""Who's there?""

"Dan Heng turned around, only to see a group of chimeras and earth beasts gathering unseen among the foliage, most hiding behind leaves and branches, only pairs of glowing eyes peeking out timidly in this direction."

"And not far away, a towering mountain folk slowly approached him."

""That blazing flame burned Shu Ting, disturbed the slumber of all beings... and you, visitor from outer space... you even have no intention of listening to the earth's lament.""

""You are...?""

""Quite unexpected? Golden blood, demi-godhood—these are not exclusive to Kefa Le's son. The offspring of Gio Li Ya, by right, should become its backbone." The mountain folk introduced himself, "I am Huang Di, embodiment of the earth, guardian spirit of myriad living beings.""

""What a coincidence—just now someone reminded me to watch out for you." Dan Heng raised his head to ask him, "Answer me: in mythology, the king of earth beasts, a demi-god destined to fall—why appear in human form?""

"Huang Di did not answer directly, but instead turned the question back: 'You know the answer—isn't the dragon-transformation marvel precisely your signature skill, 'Immortal' descendant?'"

"Dan Heng's brows knitted tightly: 'How could you know... is it 'San Yue Qi'?'"

""Exactly. Thanks to her, I can enter the Memory Tide and vanish from people's memories.""

""You're not dead—so-called 'fall' is just a ruse." Dan Heng's doubts deepened, "To forsake the mission of Huoyouzhe, to bind yourself to her—why?""

""For survival." Huang Di spoke bluntly, "For earth beasts, life is merely 'continuation'—birds, beasts, crossing ancient ages, struggling to survive. Yet they cannot, like humans, endure in the memory of the 'burdened world.'"

""But Night Moon, she is the 'sovereign of memory.' In the 'Eternal Night Veil,' I have seen your story—"

"Huang Di... can actually take human form? I thought he'd always remain as an earth beast, and from his words, he seems eager to learn details about the dragon-transformation marvel."

Ryuga sat on the folding chair outside the coffee shop, unable to help but stare curiously at this "King of Earth Beasts," and compared to Aohema's mountain folk, these demi-gods indeed appear taller and stronger.

"But who knows how dire the consequences of the dragon-transformation marvel are—no one understands it better than Dan Heng. The King of Earth Beasts showing interest in this—could it be that 'Da Di' simulates the 'Immortal' destiny in the cosmos?"

Sento lowered his head in thought; if his guess is correct, then perhaps there truly exists a certain connection between Dan Heng and the 'Da Di' demi-god, and the other party wanting to learn more about the dragon-transformation marvel is no surprise—only Dan Heng would never reveal even half a point to him.

"Sento, you say Dan Heng won't also become a demi-god among Wengfaluo Si's demi-gods?" Ryuga scratched the back of his head.

"Huh? Why would you think that?"

"Because whether it's Night Moon or Xing, they both qualify to become demi-gods, and are currently the most suitable candidates. They both chose to bind themselves deeply to Wengfaluo Si, and I believe Dan Heng certainly doesn't want to be left behind."

"The demi-god position isn't an empty chair waiting to be filled—it won't just appear because someone wants to sit. Now Wengfaluo Si's Twelve Golden Heirs are complete, leaving no room for Dan Heng."

Sento looked up at Huang Di in the sky curtain, his burly frame resembling a small mountain, looming before Dan Heng.

"Although 'Da Di' and Dan Heng share countless threads of connection, I still believe the most fitting path for Dan Heng is 'Hai Yang.' After all, how could one skilled in commanding water be sent to command earth's rocks? Earth and sea... the difference is vast."

"Before Huang Di's words even finished, several Jin Xue Yi Ling suddenly emerged from beside him, their ugly maws emitting muffled sounds: 'Chiming... Immortal... Dragon-Transform... Revive...'"

"Dan Heng glanced around—only to see the memory spirits surrounding him increasing in number, encircling him completely."

"Dan Heng showed no panic, merely sighing lightly: 'Seeking life in death—you chose the wrong path, demi-god.'"

""So what? The turbid golden blood seeping into this body... 'Da Di' is hungry, only 'Immortal' can fill its belly!""
