Chapter 427: 427. The Dragon God's Instruction

427. Chapter 427: The Dragon God's Instruction

As the voice faded, the entire scene suddenly began to collapse, the previously clear view gradually shattering like glass.

The world spun, and Su Chen struggled to steady himself, yet his gaze remained fixed firmly on the Dragon God.

He clearly saw the Dragon God's lips part slightly, and the direction of the speech was unmistakably aimed at him.

"Su Chen..."

Su Chen's pupils constricted slightly, and he subconsciously watched the movement of those lips.

Even though the space was collapsing at this moment, the Dragon God continued to speak in a measured tone, eyes looking straight in Su Chen's direction, as if able to see through all of Su Chen's disguises.

"Me?"

Su Chen couldn't help but point at himself, feeling somewhat incredulous.

After all, having returned here, no one should be able to see him; furthermore, if the Dragon God could truly see him, why hadn't he spoken up earlier? The Dragon God's words continued, but this space had completely collapsed, and only a few scattered words could be seen.

"I am waiting for you..."

I am waiting for you? Su Chen subconsciously took two steps forward, but this space had completely vanished, and though Su Chen walked forward, he was merely treading in place.

Opening his eyes again, Su Chen had arrived at the present-day Shengdi; everything just now felt like a dream.

Su Chen looked toward the distance, feeling at a loss—had that Dragon God seen him all along?

He had clearly called out his name; had he misread the lip-reading, or... was it truly so? In an instant, a thousand thoughts raced through Su Chen's mind; the massive amount of information left him momentarily speechless.

What was he waiting for him for? Could it be that the Dragon God had predicted his arrival hundreds of thousands of years ago, and that was why...

For some reason, Su Chen's Space Ring suddenly began to burn intensely; although it was his own possession, it felt as scorching as magma.

Su Chen let out a soft cry of pain and took off the Storage Ring, but the Storage Ring seemed to be anticipating something, trembling incessantly even in Su Chen's palm.

Could there be something inside? Thinking of this, Su Chen hurriedly entered the Storage Ring and instantly discovered the Jade Letter, the Token, and the compass flashing with brilliant light.

Upon sensing Su Chen's divine sense, they were extremely agitated, circling around Su Chen incessantly.

Hesitating, Su Chen took these three items out.

As soon as those three items emerged, they seemed to break through some shackles, spinning incessantly before Su Chen, and finally converging together.

Su Chen watched this scene quietly, seeing the three items as if they had been baptized; their original wear and age had vanished, and they appeared entirely brand new.

The three items hovered in the air for a long time before swaying and landing in Su Chen's palm.

At this moment, the Jade Letter was inscribed with ancient, incomprehensible characters; Su Chen could vaguely make out a few—Donghua, Burier, Relic.

Those characters flashed with golden light, unlike before, and were no longer changing; at this moment, they seemed imprinted upon it, emitting a golden glow.

At this time, the material of the Jade Letter itself was also brand new, radiating a lustrous light, crystal clear, and a pale green like the water of a green pool.

The compass was also brand new, though for some reason, it spun aimlessly, the needle on it rotating rapidly as if it had no direction.

As for that Token, it had also completely revealed its original appearance; the Spiritual Power contained within was clearly visible, as if it were brand new, and it was exquisitely crafted.

Su Chen was secretly shocked; why did these things resonate with the Shengdi of the Barbarian tribe?

Could that Dragon God have once been himself? After all, with that kind of aura, and being called the Dragon God, and the Tianxuan Continent being the burial ground of the Divine Dragon Great Emperor, no matter how he thought about it, Su Chen felt this guess was highly credible. If so, it was no wonder that the Dragon God could see through him; perhaps he had predicted that his future self would come here, but did not want others to discover this secret, which was why he had left this relic behind.

Su Chen's mind grew increasingly chaotic; many thoughts and events felt like a tangled mess, impossible to cut through or straighten out.

At this moment, the Shengdi was also disappearing, and as Su Chen opened his eyes, he saw Meng Huo, Yi Zhuyue, and the others who had been guarding there.

They were all looking at Su Chen with worried expressions, and seeing him emerge unscathed, they all breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

Seeing this, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"What's wrong? Both of you are so worried; I just went to the Shengdi, nothing happened."

He said, looking at everyone with a teasing expression.

These words immediately opened the floodgates for Lv Luo, who hurried to Su Chen's side, her voice already carrying a hint of sobbing.

"Master, you scared us to death; you've been inside for five days, but there hasn't been a single bit of news, and we thought something had happened to you..."

Saying this, Lv Luo hugged Su Chen tightly.

Two rounded mounds pressed against Su Chen's chest, which instantly triggered a physiological reaction in him, having abstained for so long.

But this was not the time for such things; Su Chen could only suppress the lust in his heart, pinched Lv Luo's bottom, and comforted her, "Aren't I perfectly fine? You can rest easy."

In the Shengdi, Su Chen had no clear sense of time; he hadn't expected that five days had already passed in the outside world.

Lv Luo's face flushed red from the pinch, and she subconsciously glared at Su Chen with a hint of feigned anger.

"Hateful, Master, you made us worry so much."

After Lv Luo finished speaking, she remembered that Meng Huo was still here, felt incredibly shy, and hurriedly went to Yi Zhuyue's side.

Meng Huo's face was pale, clearly having not rested well over these past few days, and only now did he breathe a sigh of relief seeing Su Chen emerge safe and sound.

"Benefactor, it is fortunate that nothing happened to you; otherwise, even if I had to pay with my life today, I would not have hesitated."

Meng Huo looked weak, his voice intermittent.

"Rest assured, Tribal Leader Meng, I am fine, but you... you look a bit unwell right now."

Su Chen subconsciously wanted to say that Meng Huo looked as weak as a skeleton, but he immediately held back and switched to a more tactful phrasing.

"Opening the Shengdi requires massive energy; my current cultivation level is a bit unable to handle it, but I will be fine after resting for a while; Benefactor need not worry about this."

Meng Huo smiled slightly, then continued, "Did Benefactor discover anything?"

Once these words were spoken, Su Chen's expression turned strange; for a moment, he didn't know where to begin, as he had experienced far too much inside.

Meng Huo, however, assumed it was inconvenient for Su Chen to speak.

He did not force the issue; after all, the prophecies left behind stated that it was the will of the gods for the fated person to enter the Shengdi, so whether or not he spoke was entirely Su Chen's freedom, and they had no reason to inquire.

"It is nothing much, but I did see some cultivation techniques in the Shengdi suitable for the Barbarian people, and as for the poisonous miasma pollution in the forest, I think... I have a way to solve it."

Su Chen said slowly. (End of chapter)
