Chapter 238: The Primordial Dragon's Resolve

Seeing this moment, Baichuan's spirit was finally lifted.

Because the truth was about to be revealed before his eyes.

And according to this situation, it was very likely that the strongest power from the opposite world would also appear.

……

After hearing this news, the Primordial Dragon — which, in this situation, considered guarding the World Passage to be the task its Father God had entrusted to it — could no longer hold itself back once its injuries had healed.

Because now that so many of its brothers and sisters knew the news, it no longer needed to worry about what might happen behind it.

The task of delivering this information to the Father God had, without anyone noticing, already been entrusted by the Primordial Dragon to the other ancient dragons.

So it wanted to go over and intercept them, and even prepared to attempt to drive this group of otherworldly Spirit out.

Even if it had to pay a tremendous price for it, it would not hesitate.

And the confidence for all of this came from the brand-new Technique that Zhou Qingqing had researched and modified during this period.

Under the effect of this Technique, a vague plan also slowly formed in the Primordial Dragon's heart.

Although it was very dissatisfied with everything this human had done, during this period the Primordial Dragon had, more or less, come to recognize her actions.

Because during this period, Zhou Qingqing — who was already close to having no attachments — whether in her usual research or in accompanying the ancient dragons to battle the otherworldly Spirit, her fighting posture could be called incomparably bold; every move could be said to be a life-or-death struggle.

If not for the fact that she had now replaced Baichuan's blood, in a certain sense she could also be considered a member of Baichuan's blood-descended race.

Her body had already begun to initially possess his terrifying Regeneration ability, as well as the highest-level energy affinity in heaven and earth apart from Energy Permission, allowing her to continuously recover her body — otherwise she would have long since been on her last breath.

How could the other ancient dragons stand by and watch this?

Thus, after settling the Core formed by the already completely fallen-asleep Cloud Sea Dragon, the other five ancient dragons took along their own Juanzhu second-generation ancient dragons and together with the Primordial Dragon rushed toward the World Passage.

And throughout this entire process, the slight strangeness shown by the Primordial Dragon was only faintly noticed by the Wind Universe Dragon, which had spent the longest Time with it during this period.

Seeing this, Baichuan also had a premonition that perhaps what he was seeing now was the scene that began from this point.

Sure enough, later on the journey rushing toward the World Passage.

After all the dragons had begun to rest at a certain point, on a night cool as water.

The Wind Universe Dragon, taking advantage of an opportunity, found the Primordial Dragon strolling on the mountain peak outside.

It did not hesitate or beat around the bush.

It directly asked outright in front of the Primordial Dragon.

"You must have set your sights on that human's new Technique, right? Preparing to shoulder everything alone?"

Abruptly, the Wind Universe Dragon's voice rang out just like that.

"Hmm?" On the mountain peak, although the Primordial Dragon was somewhat surprised.

Under that gaze that seemed to have seen through everything, it could only nod somewhat helplessly.

"That's right, the passage Father God entrusted me to guard has now been completely opened. If it is not sealed again in the future, then all that awaits this world is letting those otherworldly evil gods come and go as they please. So……"

"So, you're planning to use the strength of one dragon alone, relying on that Technique to seal it shut?"

The Wind Universe Dragon directly cut off its words and spoke bluntly.

"……"

The Primordial Dragon was silent for a while, then slowly nodded and said: "That's right, I plan to sacrifice the World Permission Father God gave me, use it as a Core, and lay down the Technique I modified from what I got from that human, to see if I can completely seal the passage. If not, under the control of that Permission, I can also leave behind a barrier that attacks all life inside the passage indiscriminately. In the future, as the world grows stronger, the power of this barrier will also rise with the tide; by then it might even be able to block the strong ones among the evil gods."

After saying this, the Primordial Dragon was silent for a while before slowly saying in a low voice: "This is the oath I once made before Father God: as long as the passage exists, I, the Primordial Dragon, exist; if the passage is gone, it must be that the enemy has stepped over my corpse. I don't want Father God to come back and see a broken world full of scars."

"I hope you won't tell them."

Hearing this, the Wind Universe Dragon also fell silent. It gazed at the hazy clouds in the distance, saying nothing for a long Time, not knowing what it was thinking.

"Count me in."

After a long while, a voice rang out — light as a feather in tone, but incomparably firm.

"What? You —?!"

The Primordial Dragon was startled and wanted to say something.

"Don't try to stop me, my mind is made up." The Wind Universe Dragon shook its head firmly. "Although Father God values you the most, even entrusting you with the most important task of guarding the World Passage, I, Wind Universe Dragon, am no coward. Since I've learned of such a great matter, how could I miss it? In the future I want Father God to know that I, Wind Universe Dragon, can also help Him!"

"Alright, pass me that Technique you modified yourself. Otherwise, with the strength of just one dragon alone, you probably won't be able to withstand the attacks of those evil gods. You don't want everything to fall apart in the end, do you? One more dragon means one more share of strength."

"You…… sigh~~ Alright then."

In the end, the Primordial Dragon, which had originally wanted to stop it, fell silent at the Wind Universe Dragon's last words and nodded helplessly.

Time quietly arrived at the next day. The two dragons, who had already quietly decided everything last night, said nothing more.

The whole way was silent, without wind or waves, as they hurried to the deepest part of Tiandu.

And here, the dragons finally saw the severity of the situation.

Large numbers of rare or precious creatures were being herded in batches by those evil gods, like playthings, across the World Passage — among them were not a few of the Juanzhu second-generation ancient dragons they had personally cultivated.

It seemed that these creatures, and the power within them, held extremely great value to the beings of the world on the other side of the passage.

These were still the creatures whose movement caused the greatest commotion; as for the various rare minerals, precious plants, or ordinary human clans, they could only be described as countless.

It seemed that in the eyes of these evil gods, everything in this world was a resource — something to be taken whenever they wished.

Seeing this, the ancient dragons were furious beyond measure, and a fierce battle unfolded.

It might have been because of the ancient dragons' unprecedented fury, or because this group of evil gods had stayed in this world too long without resupply and their condition had begun to seriously decline.

So this time, the Primordial Dragon and the others, having gathered the strength of seven dragons, finally managed to push back the evil gods on the other side.

Seeing the situation gradually tilt in the ancient dragons' favor.

However, just at this moment, another eerie change occurred at the World Passage.

An invisible, oppressive aura slowly seeped out from the other side.

Under this invisible pressure, the sky suddenly sank, the atmosphere became viscous, dark clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled with lightning flashing.

Vast amounts of strange white lightning splashed across the World Passage.

These lightning bolts pierced straight through the void; whatever they struck was directly annihilated.

At this moment, it seemed as though some unimaginably powerful existence was about to descend.

Just as the dragons were grave-faced, the Radiant Lord—an evil god from another world who had previously been pinned down and beaten by the joint efforts of the three Ancestral Ancient Dragons—suddenly broke free from the gods, as if guiding something.

Only then did the ancient dragons learn from the excited whispers of the surrounding gods that this was the true body of the Radiant Lord, a Main God Level being from the world on the other side, making its move!

In a burst of oppressive, annihilating aura—

A single enormous finger, vast as a pillar reaching to the heavens, white as polished jade, slowly emerged from the World Passage, silently pressing down upon the dragons. Its posture was as though it were casually crushing a fly or two—utterly effortless.
