Chapter 339: Before the God

"Evil Dragon?"

Li En still stood silently above, his face showing no surprise or joy, seemingly completely indifferent to this slander, but in truth, his heart was also quite surprised.

"I am not a dragon; I am a Dragonborn; I am human."

Calm words, a firm self-awareness; Li En stated his identity.

Even though many in the courtyard showed expressions of surprise, Li En remained very firm.

"Heh." The giant smiled; since you have the ability to stand on the side of the gods, if you say so, then so be it.

"Ha." The Sapphire Dragon remained noncommittal; as a "peer," how could he be mistaken?

Your dragon breath and dragon aura are even purer than mine; what are you pretending for?

A strange anxiety rose within Li En; flames boiled in his body. The blue giant dragon's contemptuous attitude angered him, and flames mixed with radiance covered his surroundings.

"Hoo."

Li En took a deep breath; his pupils returned to clarity once more, though his golden eyes shimmered with light.

Power never comes without a price; facing one of the "arch-enemies" of the Chromatic Dragons, Li En found it difficult to control his emotions.

This "nameless fire" always burns in his chest; it is the hatred attached to the power mixed into his bloodline. Li En was somewhat puzzled; does the Thousand-Faced Dragon also have this kind of racial enmity?

No, it is another kind of anger.

"Insignificant inferior dragons and foolish giants." The low growl from his soul was about to escape, but Li En struggled to suppress it.

He knew where this emotion originated: the anger of a superior True Dragon being looked down upon by inferior groups.

But the Sapphire Dragon should also be a True Dragon, the highest rank of the dragon race, so how could he be regarded as an inferior species?

【I am the Guardian of Theater and Joy, the Comforter of the Suffering, the Inspirer of Artistic Creators.】

Fistreion finally spoke; when the deity's inspiration echoed throughout the hall, all unease and anxiety were soothed.

The Comforter of the Wounded; perhaps He truly possesses this divine portfolio.

【By borrowing the principle of inheriting heroic souls, I desire to reignite the Divine Flame once more and return to the mortal realm.】

The deity stated His principle; within the hall, it was as if holy songs surrounded them.

He still sat there; beneath the broken-wood seat lay a patch of grass, playing a slow, natural song that brought tranquility.

Before the eyes of all the audience, it was as if they saw ancient landscapes: the era when giants and dragons fought each other, the brilliant twilight of the Elven Era, and the countless disasters about to arrive.

"My god will reignite the divine portfolio and the Divine Flame, rebuilding a new faith congregation. Those willing to join may stay; those unwilling to engage..."

"Hoo."

Right before Li En, the figure wearing the sapphire crown vanished without a trace.

"Boom!"

Flames overflowed around Li En; the uncontrollable rage made Li En feel very uncomfortable. He discovered that he could not tolerate the dragons' contempt and disdain toward himself, especially from the so-called True Dragons.

Yet to most people, this scene seemed perfectly natural.

Most dragons only worship the Dragon God; for other deities, they only have Inherent respect.

For them, getting involved in such troublesome matters as a deity's resurrection carries too much crisis and offers basically no benefits (many dragons stay far from the mortal world), so there is absolutely no need to get involved.

But before leaving, one could at least explain the situation and politely decline, showing respect and bidding farewell to the host here. Leaving directly without any respect even for a deity is also a manifestation of dragon arrogance.

For a True God, this is already a blasphemous act sufficient to invite divine punishment.

"Is there anyone else?"

Li En currently lacked the ability to pursue the matter; he looked left and right.

And this time, it seemed there was no second person.

For most mortals, if a deity's resurrection were truly happening, it might be a good thing that would send them soaring.

They did not fully believe it, but at least for now, they were still waiting and watching.
