Chapter 1598

Nonsense! When have I ever done such a thing!

Lasa refused to admit it, angrily rebuking: "Where did you hear these lies? Dare to come here and question me!"

Xiao Feng said: "Ru Erjia said it himself; he died a hundred thousand years ago, still resentful, his grudge undiminished. Lasa, do you know that the Yuan Su Shen Yu now has no dragon clan, wiped out by my own hand?"

"This scoundrel, daring to slander me!" Lasa grew even angrier.

But it looks more like he's angry from embarrassment.

After several attempts failed to affect Xiao Feng, he realized this person before him was probably no ordinary low-ranking deity, so he stopped attacking.

But he had no intention of backing down in words.

Lasa said: "Ru Erjia is a bastard, corrupted by the ancient gods since childhood, his heart holds no dragon kin, no justice! His words cannot be trusted, for inside his evil dragon skull lies the ancient gods' evil thoughts!"

"But I detect no trace of corruption on him; he is quite lucid, and the evil dragon skull is merely fiercer, his nature not evil." Xiao Feng said.

When I encountered Ru Erjia, he had already been dead for a hundred thousand years.

Without a great injustice, who would lie in a coffin suffering for a hundred thousand years, seeking someone to redress the wrong?

The corpse that crawled out of the coffin was not lying; it was expending its last trace of consciousness to prove its innocence.

"Lasa, I think you attacked him because Ru Erjia's strength is too great, his fame rising, fearing he would steal your limelight and take your position as dragon heir, so you struck him down after Aquiles severely wounded him?"

Xiao Feng asked.

This is exactly what Ru Erjia told him, what happened before his death.

"Preposterous! I am a god-king of an age; how could I fear him stealing my limelight? Human, you have been bewitched by the evil dragon—that is the summons of the evil ancient gods; do not persist in delusion, or you too will become their minion!" Lasa coldly shouted, refusing to admit any fault.

Xiao Feng heard and couldn't help but laugh: "Ancient gods? Your news seems outdated; the Yuan Su Shen Yu has no ancient gods left."

"Naive! The ancient gods never left; they were merely grievously wounded by the strong of all races and fell into slumber. When they awaken, the entire Yuan Su Shen Yu will be buried with them!" Lasa mocked.

"You fled to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield precisely because you feared this, didn't you?" Xiao Feng asked, also mocking.

Lasa felt no shame, but pride: "We have already defeated the ancient gods once, achieved success and withdrawn; what's wrong with that?"

"But you left a huge disaster and told no one. If not for the Soul Kingdom's lord informing me, and if I did not possess sufficient strength, the Yuan Su Shen Yu would sooner or later be destroyed by the ancient gods, leaving all beings in misery." Xiao Feng shook his head, growing ever more contemptuous of the dragon clan's deeds.

Even now, Lasa still does not regard fleeing as shameful; instead, he believes that joining with the strong of all races to annihilate the ancient god army and heavily wound the Elemental Sovereign was their family's Merit.

Although the dragon clan contributed greatly, they fled at the final moment to survive, abandoning the final strike against the Elemental Sovereign.

The strong of all races were utterly destroyed; only they fled in disarray, enjoying the victory's fruits alone.

Bullying the weak, fearing the strong, vain, greedy...

The dragon clan's shortcomings were fully revealed through the ancient god war a hundred thousand years ago.

Moreover, they not only refuse to admit these flaws, but also heavily whitewash, flaunt their victories, thinking no one will know the truth.

Such hypocrisy is contemptible.

"What's the use of saying all this? What exactly are you here for?" Lasa did not want to continue arguing.

Xiao Feng sighed: "Actually, there's nothing much; I just wanted to tell you the outcome of some matters. What I said earlier is true—the Yuan Su Shen Yu no longer has ancient gods, because we adventurers have slain them in the Xing Kong."

"Ha, boasting without a draft, just relying on you?" Lasa shook his head in disbelief.

Xiao Feng took out a ring, its surface encircled by multicolored light, with a trace of ancient god aura lingering.

"This is the Heart of the Elements, a gift from the Supreme God after the Elemental Sovereign's fall. I also hold another identity: I am the King of Gods of the Yuan Su Shen Yu, possessing an invincible body there." Xiao Feng explained.

Then two wisps of white smoke flew from his head, two avatars appearing, fully equipped, each item emanating a heaven-shaking aura.

"This is my trump card; care to try and see how I slew the Ancient God King?" he asked.

"This..."

Lasa retreated two steps.

The aura Xiao Feng himself emitted—actually he was not afraid.

Although there was a hint of gluttonous aura, seeming fearsome, he knew it was merely a trace gained from consuming the Divine Beast's precious blood, not the strength of a venerable.

Xiao Feng's command of law is only minor accomplishment; he fears not, for he too is at that stage, and has progressed even further.

In realm, the gap between them is huge, needless to say more.

Even though Xiao Feng just displayed tyrannical strength, in his view it was merely temporary power, soon to end.

However, when the two avatars appeared, his expression changed.

Xiao Feng's nuclear bomb was relatively better, possessing only a few divine artifacts plus a Heavenly Dao whisk not yet fully activated.

But Xiao Feng as a Divine Mage... his whole body is holy objects!

Necklace, clothing, two ancestral god treasures!

The rest are all god-king items and perfect god-king items!

Even as a proper god-king, he had never seen such luxurious gear.

What's more terrifying is that after summoning the avatars, a golden light flashed at Xiao Feng's brow, transforming into a gleaming small pagoda, exuding the terrifying aura of an eighth-tier Supreme Treasure.

Also a little sword, a pouch, a rope...

With so many treasures, he could no longer entertain greedy thoughts.

One peerless Supreme Treasure will arouse greed.

Two peerless Supreme Treasures will drive one mad!

And three, four, five...

When more treasures appear on a person, they bring only fear!

Lasa panicked, asking in a low voice: "What you said... is it true?"

"Of course it's true!"

The Son of God floated forward, saying: "The ancient gods have become history, the dragon clan has already fled in disgrace, humanity is now the age's protagonist, the Yuan Su Shen Yu is our world. Lasa, have you ever repented for the wrongs you've done to your kin?"

"I am not wrong! Ru Erjia is merely an evil dragon corrupted by the ancient gods!" Lasa gritted his teeth, refusing to admit.

Xiao Feng shook his head.

Actually, he can't do anything about it, because too much time has passed.

Lu'erjia has his own account, Laosa has his own wording, there is no third-party witness, and nobody can win the argument.

"Old Xiao, stop wasting words with him, just kill him—this big lizard is ugly as hell, and it's shameless to call it a 'dragon'." Li Li wore a displeased expression.

"Exactly, Ice Deer sister is the real dragon!" Dun Dun chimed in.

That mischievous Ice Deer often showed off her Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon, and now many people know she is an icy‑blue, beautiful divine dragon.

However, Xiao Feng still did not act immediately.

He asked, "Lorasa, why did you leave your father Akarnosh? Where is the ancestral land of your dragon clan now?"

"Why are you asking that!" Lorasa did not answer, but instead questioned him.

After realizing Xiao Feng had the strength to kill the primordial god, he certainly dared not answer that question lightly.

Otherwise, the disaster would not be just his own, but the entire dragon clan!

"I just want to hear how you and Ru'erjia's father would explain your fratricide." Xiao Feng replied.

This matter isn't actually that important, but he simply wants to know the answer.

Ru'erjia, Aquas, the primordial gods, the dragon clan, and the various powerful beings of the Yuan Su Shen Yu from ancient times.

This is a world, a bygone era.

Things have come to this point; the story of the Yuan Su Shen Yu has actually ended.

But this story is missing some details; if they aren't clarified, he will always feel that something is lacking in his heart.

Lorasa fell silent.

After a long while, he self‑mockingly said, "I have been exiled and don't want to go back. If you want the answer, you can go ask yourself, or bring my head to ask."

Xiao Feng's various Supreme Treasures have already made him lose confidence in resisting, knowing he is likely to fall here today.

But he remains strongly resistant to returning to the dragon clan's ancestral land.

"Why were you exiled?" Xiao Feng asked him, then added, "Actually I could spare you; I've killed many god‑kings, one more or less makes no difference."

Lorasa gave a hollow laugh and replied, "Because the old Dragon Emperor also thought this was my fault. He originally didn't like Ru'erjia, but after Ru'erjia died he began to miss that disobedient little son. The war of the primordial gods left the old man with irreparable wounds; after finding a new habitat, his condition worsened day by day. As his offspring, I dutifully cared for him, expecting his praise and the dragon throne to be passed to me. But he not only didn't do that, he started blaming me, saying I shouldn't have slain Ru'erjia, that evil dragon. Hah..."

His tone was scornful and mocking, believing the first Dragon Emperor's actions were unjust and unfair to him.

"Is Akarnosh still alive?" Xiao Feng asked him.

Lorasa shook his head. "I don't know. I've been gone for a long, long time; perhaps he's already dead. Anyway, shortly after the dragon clan entered their new habitat, the old Dragon Emperor personally judged me, charging me with fratricide, stripping me of my inheritance rights, and exiling me. My loyal followers accompanied me, we left that place, came here, and established our own dragon Mi Jing."

It's clear he doesn't much like his own father. Or rather, because of those past events, he still harbors resentment, even refusing to use the title "Father God."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng fell silent for a moment.

After the first Dragon Emperor suffered grave injuries, he entered his twilight years, looking back on his life, perhaps engaging in deep reflection.

Ru'erjia's death surely had a great impact on him.

In the end, one son died and the other was exiled; neither remained by his side.

The old Dragon Emperor likely fell.

The past of the Yuan Su Shen Yu also came to a final close.
