Chapter Two

"Hey~"

The chicken legs in the room had long gone cold, and I took a brief rest until I felt Li Liu waking up.

"Where is this…"

"The lounge of the Azure Sky carrier, it's been several days."

Li Liu glanced around and her eyes stopped at the window.

"What's that?"

"That is a reverse barrier. Your eyes should be able to discern the barrier's reversal, flying upwards is absolutely impossible to escape."

"Qin Yang, how did you know and still stayed here with me?"

"How could I leave you to solve this alone? Besides, you looked for me for a long time, wasn't I waiting for you?"

"Do you know how sad I was when I saw it again? Luckily you're okay now, but that dragon…"

I stared into Li Liu's eyes and curiously asked, "You don't remember anything at all?"

"Remember what? I lost my memory after you borrowed my power?"

"Do you… not remember what happened afterwards? Or hear anything?"

"Weird, just say whatever you want." Li Liu was straightforward, she wouldn't act cute or dumb. Wisely, she chose to let me speak openly. I then explained to her in detail why she naturally possessed the "Ice Pupil of the Arctic" that everyone feared, the power that caused her mother to be killed at birth. She represented The Human Realm, inherited the essence of opening black holes, and after extracting her power, her body could be used by The Divine Realm and The Demon Realm to communicate their will through her.

"I'm having a hard time accepting this." After listening to what I had said, Li Liu found it hard to believe, but at the same time, my words seemed quite reasonable.

"Next time I'll record their appearances so you can see if it's true. For now, can you eat this chicken leg first, then get off the bed, change into clean clothes, and find a way to break through this colorful sky."

"How can I eat it when it's so cold… Oh, it's so hot!" She was startled by the instantly heated chicken leg.

"Both you and I have some things we don't remember, like how the Sacred Demon Dragon became a human."

"This place is extremely desolate!" After Li Liu got off the ship, all she could see were the ruins of a city, with sea produce everywhere that resurfaced from the ocean floor. It was strange that there were no algae that needed sunlight to grow, and the place looked like a relic at a glance. The age was unclear, but the whole town was filled with broken war weapons. Before The Human Realm's Magic era, there were bombers, tanks, and unexploded missile warheads. These heavily armed weapons exuded a strong smell of gunpowder and were very ancient in design.

"What are you two… doing?" Two figures by the mother ship were gathered around a campfire, with a faint fish aroma in the air. One was round as a ball and the other tall and muscular.

"We are grilling fish." Xiang picked up a fork, pointing it at me.

I squatted between them and looked at Qimir Grann. The way the chubby one devoured fish was quite comical, with saliva all over the place.

"Hey, do you still remember... the Dragon Realm?"

Qimir Grann immediately stopped his mouthful, opened his eyes that seemed like they would never close, and finally said, "Heard of it, but don't remember."

"Do you remember me then?"

"Reisgolo, we once fought."

"What was the reason for that?"

"..." Qimir Grann continued to enjoy his delicious grilled fish.

"Don't ask him, he has no memory of what happened before. He remembers everything clearly since he arrived in this world, except for remembering his dragon name, Qiming Qimiluofei, and his human name, Zhurong."

"Then I'll call you by your human name from now on, you can call me Qin Yang, your dragon name is quite a mouthful."

"Qin Yang..."

"Yes?"

"Are fish only grilled?" Zhurong suddenly asked a question that suited his physique.

"Of course not, they can be steamed, boiled, braised, there are countless ways humans cook food, each place, each person, each cooking time cannot make the same taste."

"Ah, it seems I must explore this world well... and find the secret of my lost memories." As he said the second half of the sentence, Zhurong's eyes suddenly became sharp, he was not a fool, although he looked like one, he was still a dragon emperor, no matter how dull he looked on the surface.

"I suggest you find a dragon named Marutian, his human name is Monet Gauss."

Suddenly the roasted fish in Zhurong's hand fell to the ground, a look of shock crossed his face.

"Do you remember him?"

"I don't, but I don't know why I reacted this way." Zhurong stared at the roasted fish on the ground, confused.

"Tell me, Xiang, you remember that he's not your boss, right?" Xiang took off his shoes and showed me.

"How did you do that?" I patted Zhurong's shoulder, if I could learn Zhurong's technique of seizing, then I wouldn't need to fear what happened to Elena.

"Inconsistency of heart, instability of allegiance, that's all."

Meaning Xiang never wanted to follow Marutian, he might have reached a point of hatred.

"Uncle Fire Dragon."

"Uncle Fire Dragon? What kind of title is that?"

It was Perra who called Zhurong "Uncle Fire Dragon," who knew what kind of relationship they had built in these few days, but it was logical for Zhurong to hold a grudge as Perra had injured his eyes.

Perra and Zhurong sat around the campfire, and Perra said to me, "Qin Yang, can you give me this piece of land?"

"Here? You plan to establish the vampire realm here? But why do you need to ask me?"

"According to the human convention on oceans, the first discovered land belongs to its discoverer, this place has been submerged for a long time, it can be considered as newly discovered, you and Uncle Fire Dragon arrived here at the same time, Uncle Fire Dragon has no objections, only your opinion matters."

"Hey, you don't need to look at me with a negotiating gaze, your request is not difficult, and since you asked, I definitely have no objections. This area is quite large, even the total area of the islands in the Eastern Sea Five Nations may not match here."

At this time, voices were heard not far away, shouting something.

"We have found stone inscriptions!"

The soldiers in the front discovered a stone, engraved with serious fonts and words.

"AD." We saw on the images brought back by the soldiers the dating used before and after the thirteen million years of the war between gods and demons, followed by one thousand two hundred and fifty-seven years after the war, two years later ushered in the first year of the Magic era.

"The years are quite far away, but what's the use of this?" Li Liu looked at these stone inscriptions and thought they were of no use for us to leave this place.

"Let's just take a look first, don't jump to conclusions yet."

"Qin Yang, come with me to the scene, maybe we'll find something."

"The third princess said she will go."
