Chapter 1291
"Does the compass have portals leading to all dimensional spaces?" Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si couldn't help but ask as the group walked into the portal one after another.
Ang nodded.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the Ancestor is really a big spender. Worthy of being the God of Space-Time," Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si couldn't help but praise.
I don't know how many dimensional spaces there are in this void, but looking at the number of spatial rifts, there are at least several thousand. The Space-Time Compass actually has portals leading to all dimensional spaces? How expensive is a portal, and he actually built thousands of them? What a wasteful ancestor.
Passing through the portal, Ang felt like he was squeezing through a layer of bubbles, which reminded him of the situation when he first went from the Palace of Breath to the Abyss of Breath.
That was also a portal, but it wasn't as high-end as the one in front of him, and it still needed a physical "door frame" to support it. The one in front of him was directly an oval hole, the edges were handled very neatly, there was nothing supporting it, and one couldn't see any changes at its edges.
This is a great test of one's understanding of space, just like drawing a straight line with bare hands. Some people draw it like a wavy line, while others draw it as if they were using a ruler. Without a lot of experience, it is impossible to be so neat.
But thousands of portals, each connecting to a different space—if each one is so neat, it means the Dragon God invested a lot of time in this aspect. Is the Dragon God that free?
The normal way shouldn't be to make a "door frame" to support it so the edges are neat, so you don't get your head cut off by the uneven edges when you get too close to the edge.
Passing through the portal, everyone was ready for battle. The Tricky Trees occupied the Ancestral Tomb, so as soon as they crossed the portal, everyone might be greeted by a fierce battle. But as soon as they crossed over, everyone was dumbfounded: corpses of Dragon Men were arranged neatly all over the ground, covering the entire earth.
"This... this... is it really a graveyard?" Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si said in shock.
Even more shocked was Yenaifa. It stared wide-eyed at the scene in front of it, unable to say a word.
"What's the situation? Don't just stand there; have you been here before?" Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si asked.
Yenaifa shook its head: "No, no, it seems we have arrived at the Slumbering Tombstone, but... but isn't the tombstone too big?"
After Yenaifa's explanation, everyone understood the situation. The Dragon Race has a habit: when they feel they are about to die, they return to the graveyard to wait quietly for death.
The Dragon Graveyard is heavily guarded, with several dragons guarding it year-round to prevent people from stealing their remains. On the main plane, the Dragon Race chooses their birthplace and graveyard on overseas islands, basically preventing remains from being stolen.
If a dragon on land cannot make it back before death, they will also prepare a safe place for death in advance. For example, Nai Aili—at that time, she had chosen her own graveyard, but later she was called out by Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si and finally died of old age in battle.
Including the bone dragon dug out in Dragonfall Lake, it is very likely that the dragon crawled in before death, so it was buried there.
After all, a complete dragon corpse is too valuable. Dragon skin can be made into armor, dragon scales can be made into shields, dragon blood can be enchanted, and dragon bones can be soaked in wine. If you don't want to be torn apart after death, it is necessary to return to a safe place before dying.
Dragon Men also have this habit. When they feel they are about to die, they come to the Ancestral Graveyard, stand in the pit below the tombstone, activate it, and then they fall into the pit.
As long as they enter the pit of the tombstone, the Dragon Men will wait for death inside and will never leave here again, so the Dragon Men outside never know what it is like inside the tombstone.
"So coming down from the pit leads here, and everyone comes down when they are about to die, then finds a place to lie down and wait for death, and it becomes like this?" Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si said.
After finishing, he paused, and Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si said again: "Yenaifa, these remains are all very well preserved. Go and see if there are any you recognize."
"Uh... okay." Yenaifa flew up and searched around. Flying into the air, it felt even more shocking. The ground was covered with the corpses of its own kind, and it couldn't see the edge at a glance.
Anthony, Uersman, and a few others had already squatted down to study these remains.
"Each one has dried up. There is air here, but the air is very dry, and the temperature is not very low, which is very suitable for preserving corpses," Anthony said.
The void without air is actually not suitable for preserving corpses. It's airtight, moisture can't be discharged, and if it freezes inside the corpse, it will burst all the organs of the body. If you want to get a piece of meat that is shattered after thawing, the void can indeed preserve it for a long time.
The corpses in front of them all kept the integrity of the fibers of their skin and flesh, turning into a dried corpse. Even if such a corpse is soaked, it will be very complete and will not be shattered into a lump.
"But, why does the Dragon God preserve these corpses? Isn't it better to just burn them? Could it be that he wants to resurrect them one day?" Uersman said.
If he just wanted to preserve them for future generations to admire, there was no need to build such a closed tomb. You can't see the corpses once they are thrown in. If he just wanted to preserve them, there was no need to build such a ventilated environment. A direct void environment could preserve them for a very, very long time.
The current state of being both dry and complete is more like the holy remains preserved by the Church, as if preparing to resurrect them.
"I feel something is wrong," Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si also came over and said.
"What's wrong?" Anthony asked.
"There is no death aura," Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si said.
"Hiss—" Anthony gasped. No death aura—this problem is serious.
Pondering, Anthony said: "There are several possibilities for having no death aura. One is that these Dragon Men have no souls."
"Impossible. Look at Yenaifa and its wife and children; how could they have no souls? On the contrary, their souls are very strong, stronger than dragon souls," Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si said.
The souls of dragons are too strong, so even the souls have exclusive names—Dragon Souls. The Dragon Souls of dragons are already very powerful, but every one of these Dragon Men like Yenaifa possesses a Dragon Soul more powerful than ordinary dragons.
They are actually about the same as Ang's first-rank Dragon God transformation. It is very likely that Ang's Dragon God transformation transforms into them in the first rank, so you can just treat them as first-rank Dragon Gods.
However, so many first-rank Dragon God remains are displayed here, but there is no death aura. Unless they have no souls, the problem is even more serious.
Just then, Yenaifa, who had flown into the distance, suddenly let out a wail in Dragon language: "%¥…@*#"
Seeing everyone looking over, Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si hurriedly translated: "Its father."
Yenaifa let out a howl and flew toward the ground, hugging a corpse and crying bitterly.
Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si and the others hurriedly flew over. Before they could get close, a corpse on the ground suddenly turned over and sat up, roaring angrily: "%#¥%@¥#…&¥."
"What are you arguing about? Can't you let people sleep!" Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si translated.
