Chapter 599: Dimension Power

He didn't know much about whiskey, but white liquor was the liquor of his hometown, his specialty. Wang Laoban was particularly fond of this, often hiding it in the cabinet—an 80-year-old vintage in an exquisite, heirloom blue-and-white porcelain bottle. After opening it, the liquid was green; Li Hao knew he really wasn't fooling the aliens, as it was absolutely top-tier stuff.

"Ning Long, did the Dragon Race exert any influence on Earth? I looked into your situation, and it seems that after transforming, you look very much like the divine dragons in our mythology. Can you really transform?" Li Hao asked.

Ning Long had also drunk quite a bit, her face flushed. She didn't use her powers to break down the alcohol, but instead savored its effects; it was a strange feeling.

"There likely was, but I don't know the specifics. Human civilization wasn't a plan of this era, but existed back in the Galactic Empire era. At that time, other civilizations would exert influence. The Dragon Race's transformation involves a very complex process; that is a secret."

Although Li Hao really wanted to ask Ning Long to show off a talent, he wasn't drunk yet, so this was just a thought. He felt that no matter how good Ning Long's temper was, she could still give him a beating.

Gasimi was drinking until her whole body glowed with blue light. In any case, she was very happy, squinting her little eyes and sipping away non-stop—a typical case of someone who talks little but drinks a lot.

By the end of the meal, these three were the most rowdy. They weren't fully satisfied because the liquor was gone. The Jincancan Family had gone to scrape together what they could, but such high-vintage stock was already rare, and there wasn't much left after being allocated to the main industries of the Star River Alliance. They were already considering lowering their requirements; no matter how good something was, if the quantity wasn't sufficient, it couldn't generate enough profit.

There was a staircase nearby. Li Hao and Ning Long stood side by side on the top floor. Above their heads was the starry sky of Diwu Star, and not far away was the energy pillar of the Eternal Crystal reaching into the sky. Under the light curtain, the night sky was exceptionally...

... brilliant. The Star-Forging Dragon Race had seen countless beautiful stars.

Unfortunately, Li Hao had also seen them, perhaps even more.

"What did you want to see me about, Miss Ning Long?" Li Hao asked.

Ning Long tucked back her long hair, which seemed to echo the starry sky. Her breath still carried a faint scent of liquor. She gently pursed her lips, "Was my performance okay?"

Clearly, this was no coincidence. The human before her was no ordinary person. If she had refused, there might not have been a follow-up. This was the default rule of mutual probing; for an Apocalyptic, one must show respect.

Li Hao smiled. He really wasn't narcissistic; he didn't think the Dragon Race sought him out because he was some "Child of Destiny." It was eight-to-one that there was trouble.

"What are the traces of Dimension Power?" Li Hao didn't answer directly.

"Do you believe it?"

"It doesn't matter. Humans are very weak. As for friends, the more the better," Li Hao glanced at the dragon girl beside him. "From the moment we humans were born, we have actually been interfered with by various forces—dreams, or other things. Even now, I have received interference from Dimension Power, and to this day, I don't know what this power wants to do. I also want to know the answer. I even suspect, is it the Star-Forging Dragon Race?"

The two looked at each other, observing one another. Ning Long smiled slightly, "It is not the Dragon Race. What is on you is not a trace of the Dragon Race. There are many who can exert this kind of power. The universe is very mysterious, and there are many unknown forces. As long as you haven't been corrupted by Void creatures, it's fine."

"The Void?"

Ning Long was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "I don't know, I really don't know. I haven't seriously thought about this question. Fortunately, there are no traces of being polluted by Void power on you, otherwise I would have suspected you too. However, from your tone, I can sense your dissatisfaction with the current order."

"You are too sensitive. That is just the current situation of humanity. So I want to know, the Dragon Race created the concept of the Dragon God on Earth, so now that we have joined the Star River Alliance, what will happen next?" Li Hao's gaze was burning.

Ning Long suddenly gave a playful smile, "I'm not clear on that. I am just a young dragon, and I have only been in the Heavenly Human World for a little over a year. I can't represent anything."

This universe always operates according to power hierarchies. Although there was a sliver of luck, it was clear that the Dragon Race would not help humans, nor did they have any reason to.

Li Hao was stunned for a moment and nodded. He felt the dragon girl must have meant something else.

Ning Long's hand gently touched Li Hao's face. It was a strange feeling, neither cold nor hot. Immediately after, both of their bodies began to glow. Ning Long's body emitted a jade-like light, and Li Hao's body also radiated a faint golden light. Terrifying power surged out of both their bodies uncontrollably, but the next moment, both of them immediately suppressed it.

"Such a powerful Spirit, yet the vast majority of it is sadness and loneliness. Is it that warm flame deep in your core that protects you?" Ning Long seemed to sense the rich sorrow, but she further confirmed that Li Hao did not obtain his power from the Void. "Dimension Power is either a gift or a disaster. I think what you received is a gift; you mastered the power, rather than being mastered by it."

Ning Long gave Li Hao a warm hug. This was a pure Spirit embrace; the Star-Forging Dragon Race was simply too sensitive to Spirits.

Li Hao smiled, "Does this count as the beginning of a friendship?"

The basic definition of a friend is much the same, but what constitutes a friend can be vastly different. However, this was a good start.

"Haha, Ning Long, does the Dragon Race have any way to trace Dimension Power?" Li Hao still had more goodwill than suspicion toward the Dragon Race. On one hand, it was the culture; on the other, it was the feeling of his Spirit. In the Star Alliance, compared to making enemies, it was better to unite everyone who could be united.

Li Hao smiled; he felt Ning Long's sincerity and nodded.

"I finally felt your sincere smile. You don't find it easy to trust others," Ning Long laughed.

"Ah, I have always been sincere," Li Hao touched his nose.

"Very fake!"

"Impossible, I've practiced it—a professional smile!"

"You smile even more fake than that Kashika."

"Wow, I can't accept that. I'll have to drink three cups with you in a bit."

"That's not possible anymore, we drank it all," Ning Long also let go of her mood.

"Are you very familiar with Defatandisi?" Li Hao suddenly asked.

Ning Long wasn't surprised, but blinked her captivating eyes, her gaze rippling, "In what regard?"

Li Hao touched his nose, "Are all the Dragon Race this formidable?"
