296. Chapter 296: The Call of the Divine Dragon

Once these words were spoken, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

"Then what should we do now? Just keep waiting?"

Natasha couldn't help but say, her gaze carrying a hint of worry.

"It seems that is all we can do. Before Su Chen regains consciousness, we must not act rashly."

Hearing this, Yi Zhuyue nodded, her gaze falling unconsciously into the distance, feeling more and more that this place was familiar.

"This is clearly the Altar of the Dragon Race, so why would Master be pulled inside?"

Lv Luo couldn't help but say, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion: "Could it be that someone with ulterior motives set a trap here on purpose, wanting to lure Master in so as to bewilder his will?"

"The Altar of the Dragon Race cannot be entered by those who are not of the Dragon Race. We have been able to proceed so smoothly on this journey only because of Xiaoxian. Moreover, this place is located within an Illusion Realm and is shrouded by a very powerful barrier; things as extremely yin and evil as Lanbo are unable to come here."

Yi Zhuyue shook her head and immediately spoke in negation.

Furthermore, although the Dragon Race has retreated time and again, the heritage within their clan is something that would be of no use even if an outsider were to enter.

So many ancestors, although they have already perished, still have their divine souls remaining within; once any other person appears, they will immediately strike to kill.

There is no other way for now, so the group decided to wait here for the time being.

As for the matter of Xiaoxian, it would be put aside for a little later.

Su Chen's will was extremely chaotic. When he opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that he was still appearing within the altar, only everyone who had been by his side was gone.

And looking at the surrounding environment, this should be the altar from a very long time ago.

How could he have been pulled in here?

Su Chen could not fathom it at all. He tentatively walked two steps, but there was nothing unusual.

He walked to the very center of the altar. At this moment, the altar platform was covered in colorful paintings, with pictures of divine dragons and people spread everywhere.

Su Chen reached out his hand unconsciously.

And almost at this very instant, the entire altar platform suddenly shone with brilliant light. At the same time, the entire space seemed to collapse, turning into fragments bit by bit.

Before Su Chen could react to what was happening, his whole person was sucked into the altar. What came into view was an extremely dark room, with a giant stone statue carved with a divine dragon above.

"Where is this?"

Su Chen couldn't help but mutter.

"My Master, I have finally waited for you."

An aged and heavy voice came, carrying a hint of excitement.

As the voice fell, a phantom of a golden dragon appeared before Su Chen. This golden dragon was extremely large, almost dozens of times the size of Su Chen; by comparison, Su Chen appeared exceptionally tiny.

Su Chen was at a loss for a moment. Although this golden dragon was only a divine soul, he could still feel the pressure within it, which was even more oppressive than Lanbo.

"You... who are you?"

Su Chen couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, the divine dragon couldn't help but fall silent for a moment, then suddenly circled Su Chen a few times before suddenly realizing.

"So it is the reincarnation of my Master. No wonder, no wonder. Could it be that that tribulation was ultimately not withstood?" Its voice carried a hint of vicissitudes and confusion, and even some sadness.

Just as Su Chen wanted to get to the bottom of it, the divine dragon smiled slightly, its tone carrying a hint of desolation: "Reincarnation is reincarnation. To be able to see my Master again, I have no regrets even in death."

"What do you mean?"

Su Chen couldn't help but ask, only feeling that this dragon was speaking in riddles. Could it be that it also had a connection to his past life?

"Heavenly secrets must not be leaked. Even though there is a destined course in the will of Heaven, there are some things I cannot say; I can only wait for my Master to explore them himself."

The divine dragon sighed, its huge eyes carrying a hint of something indescribable.

Su Chen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Although this was a very serious scene, he still couldn't help but feel speechless.

Why were there more and more troubles? Now he didn't have any worry in his heart; it looked like this divine dragon would not harm him, and to be precise, it might even be a subordinate from his past life.

Therefore, Su Chen asked the divine dragon with extra enthusiasm: "Did you summon me in here for something?"

The divine dragon did not expect Su Chen to be so familiar so quickly and was caught off guard for a moment. After all, when normal people saw a dragon as noble as him, which one didn't speak to him with a respectful tone?

But thinking that this was the reincarnation of his Master, he felt everything was perfectly normal; after all, this was his Master.

"My Master, hundreds of thousands of years ago, I could sense that you suffered this tribulation, but I accidentally perished in the war and could not stay by your side. After I died, my soul returned to my homeland, and I have been guarding the bloodline heritage of the Dragon Race. Now that I can see you, I thought I could offer a reminder, but I didn't expect..."

Speaking to this point, the divine dragon couldn't help but sigh. He had sensed something wrong back then, but at that time, his Master was too upright and rigid, always aloof and high above; although compassionate, he lacked a bit of human touch.

It was even said that before he could open his mouth, he had accidentally perished.

He had thought that upon meeting again, he would be able to remind his Master, but he didn't expect to be a step too late.

Perhaps this was the destiny ordained by the heavens. Being able to see his Master again was also an arrangement of the heavens, so that he would not have to carry regrets and keep feeling remorse.

"I am now in a divine soul state and cannot do too much for my Master, but my Master's current strength is truly too weak. However, I can strengthen my Master's divine soul and temper your body."

The divine dragon sighed, looking at Su Chen, feeling that his worries were endless.

"Then what exactly happened before? I always feel like there are some things you didn't get to say."

Su Chen couldn't help but say, looking at his hesitant appearance, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.

When the divine dragon heard this, just as he was about to speak, the entire dragon suddenly trembled heavily, as if suppressed by the laws of the Heavenly Dao.

His gaze looked toward the void in the distance, as if he felt a warning from the Heavenly Dao of this realm. As long as he spoke these things out, he would be instantly suppressed by the Heavenly Dao and turned to ashes.

"These can only wait for my Master to explore them yourself. I have no way to tell you."

The divine dragon couldn't help but sigh again, his eyes carrying a hint of apology.

Su Chen naturally knew that some things could not be forced. The divine dragon naturally had his own reasons for not speaking, so he did not force it.

But he still couldn't help but ask a few questions: "As the divine soul of the Dragon Race's heritage, you can naturally sense that for thousands of years, no one on the Tianxuan Continent has stepped into the Great Emperor Realm to ascend. All of this is the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor playing tricks behind the scenes. I want to ascend to the Immortal World; is there any way?"

"It really is that insidious and cunning villain! My Master was so good to him, yet he is so ungrateful!"

As the divine dragon flew into a rage, the entire surrounding space distorted for an instant. (End of chapter)
