Chapter 40

1

It's been unknown which day exactly it was, 13 million years ago, when the Holy Dragon and the Demon Dragon met. They didn't need to keep track of time.

The Demon Dragon sat at the highest point of the Demon Realm, with his left leg raised in a carefree and unrestrained manner. The young Ten Demon Kings stood behind him. The Holy Dragon, on the other hand, stood in the palace at a high place, bidding farewell to the Dragon Girl.

The Demon Dragon quietly stared at the crimson sky of the Demon Realm, not uttering a single word for a long time.

"Your Majesty Demon Dragon, the Human Realm is neither your place nor the Holy Dragon's place. Will they set an ambush?"

"Pluto, the Human Realm is a place devoid of Magic elements. It is the only fair battlefield. Either he dies or I perish this time. I won't have to hear those voices again without him."

As time passed second by second, the Demon Dragon merged into the crimson sky and a black dragon as dark as the night emerged from the clouds, crossing the divine and Demon Gates.

The Divine and Demon Gates, which hadn't appeared in the Human Realm for countless days, suddenly appeared in the middle of the ocean. Humans had never imagined the existence of such gates there, nor that behind the gates were two worlds—one resembling "Heaven" called The Divine Realm, and the horror-like "Hell" called The Demon Realm.

The Demon Dragon circled in the sky outside the Divine and Demon Gates. Due to the devastation caused by the Divine and Demon War, the Human Realm was in ruins. When the Holy Dragon and the Demon Dragon entered the Human Realm, they were surrounded by these melancholic voices resounding from every corner of the land. Humans were fighting, robbing, and dividing amongst themselves. These were the calamities left behind by the Divine and Demon War.

The Holy Dragon emerged from the Divine and Demon Gates, appearing god-like. The refugees by the sea seemed to have found their savior.

The dialogue between the Holy Dragon and the Demon Dragon happened in the language of dragons.

"Holy Dragon, you're late!"

"When was our last battle?"

"The battle on the Island of the Birds in The Divine Realm, to be specific."

"What did you want to say at that time? I seem to recall that you had something to say."

The two dragons perched in the sky, seemingly not willing to enter into battle so quickly.

"Say? I never said anything, but I want to say something now."

"What? Once you're done, we'll conclude this war." The Holy Dragon emitted a deep rumble from his nostrils.

"Have you ever wondered why we appeared?"

"Isn't it because you instigated a full-scale war?"

"No, it's not that. It's where we originated from. From the very beginning, we have been in The Demon Realm. Apart from the dragon race born here, where did the other dragon races come from?"

"The dragons that appeared here have no memory prior to the Three Realms' existence. What do you want to know? You think too much because you have too much free time. If you had exerted your full effort in developing The Demon Realm, you wouldn't have had a single moment of idleness."

"Hmph, am I the one with too much free time? Or are you too controlling? In name, everyone in The Divine Realm can give their opinions, but ultimately, the decision-making power is in your hands. Holy Dragon, I thought about the reason why I initiated this war, and it was just a feeling. It's a feeling that someone complains in your ear every day, telling you that the world wants to kill you, devour you, and I have a premonition that after that, I will see my true self!"

"Sound? I did have some thoughts like that, but they are only temporary obstacles that cannot impede my pure heart."

"Temporary obstacles? If we both heard it, then it's not just temporary."

"Even if you insist that the world wants me dead, I have nothing to say. But it seems like you've never won."

"You make it sound like I've lost before!"

Suddenly, a dark purple magic formation spread behind Demon Dragon, filling half the sky. Dragon breath spewed from Demon Dragon's mouth, but the Sacred Dragon's movement countered it. Then a blood-red lightning cloud enveloped Demon Dragon's body from the dragon magic formation behind him, and the two dragons intertwined, leaving a red mark behind the Sacred Dragon.

"You've used that move before." The red mark disappeared from the Sacred Dragon's body, and a holy light illuminated the earth, bringing instant revival to all things. However, wherever Demon Dragon's dragon breath reached, it suffocated the revitalized seedlings.

The battle between the two giant dragons enveloped The Human Realm in eternal darkness.

The two dragons controlled thunder, wind, fire, and water. They used every magic except causing mountains to crumble and the earth to split. With each attack, the two dragons felt something strange.

"Do you feel it?"

"I feel your thoughts."

"Why? I've never felt this way before."

"Keep going. We won't stop until there's a winner!" Demon Dragon clamped its teeth onto the Sacred Dragon's body. The Sacred Dragon burst with a powerful luminous magic force. Demon Dragon was pushed into the sea by the powerful light, and countless sharp vector lights pierced into the sea, continuing forward at a ninety-degree angle, relentlessly pursuing Demon Dragon.

The sea fell silent, the light on the Sacred Dragon disappeared, and suddenly Demon Dragon burst out from the shadow.

The two dragons intertwined and flew into the sky, higher and higher. A huge hole appeared in the sky, deep and lifeless, but the two dragons didn't mind.

"Who are you?"

The two dragons couldn't extricate themselves from their battle, and therefore couldn't hear this voice. But in their memories, they discovered that they both heard it at the same time.

Magic couldn't overcome each other, so the only way to determine the ultimate winner was through primitive tearing and biting.

I woke up from my memories and found that combining the memories of the Sacred Dragon and Demon Dragon led to two conclusions. Demon Dragon went mad and started the war because of that annoying voice, which the Sacred Dragon called the "inner demon." If the voice that asked who we were was not from the "id," but rather from the dragon soul attached to Marutian, then the answer was clear.

Although the two dragons flew into the sky, they actually ended up beneath the lava.

I kept flipping through my memories, diving deeper into contemplation.

The magical power output of the dragon bone great sword gradually weakened, and my time as Reisgolo was also coming to an end. However, the answer could only be deduced from a voice, revealing that the final appearance of the two dragons was not in The Demon Realm Dragon Tomb, but beneath the lava.

"Could it be that I sacrificed the bodies of Demon Dragon and the Sacred Dragon as offerings and sealed Marutian once again?"

The words spoken by Marutian when he took over Marutian's body in the "Snapshot" magic – sealed for another thirteen million years.

The answer became clear. As someone who hadn't fully become Reisgolo, I didn't have enough power to support the magic for thirteen million years. The only option was to sacrifice my own body, transform it into magic through my dragon body, and release the dragon energy that had been accumulating for years to supplement the seal. My soul would remain dormant until I was born seventeen years ago. Speaking of my birth, my birthday is coming soon. What was last year's birthday gift?

Don't think too much. I need to find enough evidence in my memory to support it.

"Peng!" My head was suddenly hit by a hard object. It didn't pierce through because of the magical protection, but it still hurt. The piercing pain stimulated my brain...

"Who did it!" I covered my head and looked back. The captain and the vice-captain were standing behind me, one holding a thick Grimoire and the other with the barrel of a magic gun in his hand. The result was obvious.

"I did it. Who told you to suddenly come in and be here..." Qin Ying came in angrily, only to now notice the eerie and mysterious pattern on the circular wall.

"It's not good for a woman to interrupt someone's serious thinking!"

"I'm just a high school student."

"Do you know that you interrupted my thinking, very important thinking, luckily I thought of it!"

"You were having some strange dream. We called you several times, do you think I wanted to hit you! And you were too much, not even giving a heads up before doing an experiment!"

"The guy on your head fell asleep." I pointed to the emblem on top of my head. The system update went silent, this kind of system needed to be redone, and the engineer's salary would be deducted.

"Qin Yang, what are you hiding here for?" Guffy walked around the wall.

"Nothing, just thinking about what the Holy Dragon and Demon Dragon did after the Battle of Gods and Demons. I just got hit on the head, and it reminded me of some things."

Just now, Qin Ying hit my head with the magic gun, causing a crack like several eggs breaking. I recalled something.

"You're actually thinking about how to develop your harem again, aren't you."

"Don't guess randomly, I'm really thinking about that."

"What did you remember this time?"

"Just a scene. I knew I shouldn't have looked at the memories from thirty years ago. I should have gone straight to the memories from thirteen million years ago."

All I see now is just a scene of the Holy Dragon and Demon Dragon crashing into a seal under the lava. I don't know what I did before that, but based on this, it's no longer possible to retrieve my old dragon body.

The Dragon Bone Greatsword and the God Devourer are separate. I suddenly understand that whether it's proven or not, the final result is still inclined towards the two dragons replenishing the seal.

"Did you come to the pyramid for this?" Qin Ying's magic gun shook, looking like she wants to hit me again!

"Something like that." At this moment, I didn't really want to explain, because I realized that Ma Rutian tricked me again. The more I rack my brain, the more I realize it's just one scene. I should have realized that the information he gave me was definitely not good. Memories are elusive, they require time and opportunity.

"Weird, as the captain, I order you to explain these things." Qin Ying pointed at the circular wall.

"Dragon Magic, do you really think that energy can be released with just dragon bones alone? Without these auxiliaries, the energy produced would be negligible."

"But where did the previous power come from? We shouldn't have had dragon bones."

"Who said we didn't have any? My sword is the spine bone of a dragon. It was just an experiment earlier, there's no reason for me to give you my spine bone as the power core."

"Then why didn't you use the main cannon to wipe out the pirates we encountered earlier? Do you know how many people they have harmed in that area?"

"Never mind, the range of the main cannon is too wide."

The Sky's main cannon system has been modified by The Demon Realm, and its effectiveness is comparable to the framework's main cannon. The division into smaller cannons is one of its effects. With the development of "L" particles in the future, it wouldn't be just a dream to have all five main cannons firing simultaneously. However, the power issue needs to be resolved first.

"I'm so tired, when can I return to Othrie? I miss my bed," I lamented while lying on the ground, gazing up at the twin peaks. It felt nice, but unfortunately, Qin Ying didn't wear a skirt and Guffy wore even less. Who would wear a skirt while running through the desert?

"Is he thinking of something disgusting?" Qin Ying whispered behind Guffy.

"Well, thinking like that proves he's a normal person," Guffy glanced at me lying flat on the ground before immersing himself in the magic of the wall once again.

Approximately forty minutes later, the system displayed that we had arrived at the Othrie border.
