Chapter Thirty-Four

"Everyone stand up straight. It seems like your acting president has been quite lenient with you all these past few months, and the Student Council hasn't done anything substantial." We stood in front of Elena, sternly instructed to stand up straight, as Elena began reprimanding us.

"But we've only been back in school for a little over a month."

"Lilith, we have only a few months in a semester, and every month we must make contributions to the academy, otherwise how can we expect our classmates to recognize us."

"Aren't we representing the strongest fighting force? And all this is Qin Yang's fault. He hasn't been at the academy for more than a few days in a month. See, he came back from The Demon Realm and went to Elmoetnia, then Jincheng, and now Lanhan. It's all his fault, and we have nothing to do with it," Lilith signaled to the girls to let her bear all the blame, and annoyingly, all the girls nodded in agreement.

"Blame me again? If it weren't for unraveling Marutian's damn veil I wouldn't have gone. Going to Jincheng is the Emperor's fault, and as for Lanhan, it was a mistake in the teleportation."

"Stand properly. I don't care who ends up taking the blame in the end, you will all be punished."

"Punished?"

"I, in the name of the Student Council President of the high school section of The Chishin Academy, declare an order for punishment. Your task for the next week is cleaning the school campus." Elena sat there with a dead serious expression.

"This time the president is too sober!"

"Are you expecting me to continue being muddle-headed? Dream on!"

Xiao Yao earnestly raised her hand and said, "But President, what if we are still on the mothership in a week's time?"

"Huh? It won't even take a week from here to Othrie." I was quite puzzled as to why Xiao Yao asked that question.

"Qin Yang, you've slept these past few days, and we've been stuck here."

I instantly pulled back the curtains, revealing a sky with a layer of rainbow colors, unlike the sky we usually saw, perhaps it was the sky within the barrier.

"How did we get here?"

"Why are you asking us? You should be asking yourself! Don't you remember where you collapsed?" Elena pointed to the ground, indicating it was here.

"Hey, it's my brother's birthday today. Let's put this off and celebrate later, okay? Let’s have cake for my brother!"

"Um... Can I choose to eat Xiao Yao's dinner first?" I really didn't dare to eat Wenxin's cake, it would be disastrous if I ended up lying in bed for another two days.

"No, Big Yang's birthday must have a cake." Xiao Yao collected the meal boxes with a smile, looking innocent, but I felt like I was being set up.

"Bro... look into my eyes!"

I leaned close to her forehead, "Huh? Quite pitiful."

"Either eat it or use your face."

"Huh? Use my face?"

Wenxin pressed the cake onto my face, feeling a sudden chill on my face. The room's atmosphere quickly turned into a joyful cake battlefield, as we forgot all our troubles in the midst of flying buttercream. We reverted to being ordinary high school students, leaving behind the worries of Valkyries and Dragon Clans, even forgetting the sky that had trapped us. The girls threw themselves wholeheartedly into the birthday party, and as the only male, I decided not to ask any questions. Even Fatty Zhurong, who always caused trouble, had been resolved by me. There was nothing left to worry about, not even Marutian, that mysterious guy who was gradually unveiling his pretentious mask.

At night, I was holding the biggest chicken leg from the Xiao Yao meal box in my hand and walked to a room at the rear of the mothership. Few soldiers aboard the warship passed by this area.

"Ding ding~~" Rarely, there was a doorbell ring in front of the room.

No response from inside the room, so I had to go in myself. Li Liu was sleeping quietly in the room, not waking up. The power I borrowed directly from Li Liu had been returned to her, but for some unknown reason, she had not yet regained consciousness.

"Hey, Elena is back. Aren't you going to have a good chat with your best friend?"

Li Liu was still asleep, breathing evenly. She was really just sleeping.

I put the chicken leg on the table, pressed the window button, and the deck window opened, letting the colored light into the room.

"The weather... is really nice. Are you sure you don't want to take a look? Or... do you want to finish what you said that day?" I leaned over her bed, thinking back to her on the dragon's back. Everything has a reason, and indeed Li Liu had changed at that time, the most vivid memory being the word "we." It felt strange and had a sense of importance, implying that what they wanted to say contained a lot of crucial information.

"Do we have to talk about these things now? Can't we slow down a bit?"

The light slowly angled, falling on Li Liu's face.

"I know you've been exhausted from looking for me these days, but you can't just keep sleeping like this. If having a conversation is the only way to wake you up...then I'll do it."

I got closer to Li Liu, suddenly recalling the situation back then.

"Nofice."

"Master, please command." Nofice appeared behind me, holding the wand properly.

"Stand at the door, set up the barrier."

I gently kissed Li Liu, leaving no trace, and extracted all of Li Liu's power and Illusion Eyes. What they mentioned, I knew the method they were referring to, should be about emptying Li Liu's energy to become a shell that could bear them.

After obtaining the Illusion Eyes and becoming the Compound Eyes, the colors everywhere became more intense, and the energies around gathered.

"This? The power of the world?"

I looked around. The gathered energy formed a vortex by Li Liu's bed, under the Compound Eyes, all the powers seemed like lines. The energy was too strong, and the barrier trembled, but it was soft and lacked malice. In the vortex, hair slowly rose, two identical heads appeared along with Li Liu, gathering energy as if reaching the limit. "They" also appeared with complete bodies. Li Liu opened her eyes, and the two energy entities synchronized.

"Space-Time Dragon Reisgolo." Three voices sounded simultaneously, some male, some female, or neither male nor female.

"The energy entities of the power of the world..." I took off my coat and said, "If the world could feel fear, then such a thing would not be impossible."

The three Li Lius spoke at the same time, "Fear? Have you always thought we were afraid? Let us introduce ourselves. We were nameless originally, but the timeline kept moving forward, giving us our first name - Dragon Realm."

"Dragon Realm?"

I didn't even blink. Was this the Dragon Realm?
