Planting this kind of thing in the heart is equivalent to controlling me from within, which means the Dragon Soul was seeded with the seed very early on, because this is the kind of evil Magic planted in the Dragon Soul. The dragon's body is already highly resistant to Magic, and it is extremely unlikely to harm the Dragon Soul for a dragon that has not died. Planting this in the heart is a form of self-destructive Magic, with the core element—the dragon spinal cord of the caster—equivalent to the caster having to die once before.
"Is that true? Such a long time ago!" I found it hard to believe that I was so easily controlled, feeling Monagors coming closer and wrapping around me with his dragon body.
"You speak, Representative of The Human Realm!"
Zi Liliu stood before us, lifting her illusionary eyes, taking us back to the original scene.
"Qin Yang, from the day 'The Gate of Gods and Demons' was established, Monagors successfully planted 'Dragon Heart Seeds' in you. On that ancient day, you all went through things unknown to return to the Three Realms. The world fought at that time is now The Demon Realm, so the Dragon Bone Greatsword and the Dragon's Tomb will be situated in The Demon Realm. But that's besides the point. There is a truth that was not outright stated when The Demon Realm and The Divine Realm spoke to you—how you defeated Monagors. The truth is you never defeated him, so they had nothing to say."
"I never defeated him? Because he died by self-infliction? I was deceived from the start?" I never thought, let alone imagined the truth to be this way.
"Reisgolo, don't be disappointed either. You did something unpredictable at that time—sacrificing yourself to split your soul, and sealing it in The Human Realm underground and at the center of the Three Realms while I was separated. If you hadn't split your soul, I wouldn't have had the chance to successfully plant the heart seed. Perhaps it was truly fate." Though Monagors said this, he had already achieved his plan. Yet he had not started to seize the dragon body but wanted me to know the final truth, turning me into a sacrifice in regret for the new world.
"Heart seed! Shouldn't it be on the Sacred Demon Dragon's Dragon Soul, but on the Dragon Soul of the third self?"
"Of course, or else how could I have appeared promptly when you obtained the Dragon Soul of the third self? After all, I already knew he was there."
"And, The Demon Realm wanted to expel your dragon race when you two were at odds."
"Hey, Representative of The Human Realm, it's okay to betray The Demon Realm like this!" Monagors actually didn't care about the schemes of the Three Realms, as they were of no use at all.
"Clearly, Monagors, you have already gained the upper hand, and whatever plans the three realms have are already futile."
"The despicable Monagors, won't this long wait of patience make you give up?"
"When life is long, patience is long by nature. There is nothing that can make the dragon race give up. You should understand how excited I am now. The last time I was excited was since the last battle of Gods and Demons, unfortunately, I was simply excited in vain that you made me wait for thirteen million years. Reisgolo, you are the most despicable."
"Qin Yang..." Zi Liliu brought us back from the ancient dual dragon war scene, the tears rolling in her eyes showing how worried and desperate she was, how everyone placed hope on me, only to end up with no hope at all.
"Do not despair. Returning to the sacred object is where you belong. What are you worried about? This is where you should be," he said.
"Let's do it!" I had nothing else to say. At this point, words were futile. Looking back, Monet Gaous had been pressuring me for various reasons, using Yuanyuan Qing to monitor me, really wanting to know if I remembered the 'Dragon Heart Seed' that was once planted in me. If I had discovered it earlier, perhaps something could have been done. There would always be variables over such a long time. He had been manipulating and monitoring all along, with Monet Gaous in control of everything, even calculating Yuanyuan Qing's betrayal. Now, the heart seed was preventing the dragon soul from controlling the dragon body, and the future seemed bleak.
"Very well, this was how it was supposed to be."
At this moment, the rusty timeline restarted. My timeline had slowed down, and the time freeze had ended. Before all living beings, a scene played out in the sky with a golden dragon being controlled by mysterious Magic.
"Qin Yang!"
"The Heart Seed?" Geirerofi speculated about the Magic controlling me, but he wasn't sure who dared to use the self-destructive 'Dragon Heart Seed' Magic, especially against the spine.
Geirerofi restrained Elena on the ruins of the Transfer City. "Don't go near. We've lost."
The dragon power emanating from the two dragons was overwhelming for the world and the dragon clan. The remnants of the 'God Demon Gate' exuded an aura that should not be approached, making it hard to even breathe.
"Liliu, what just happened?" Elena always sensed intense fighting among the dragons within the time-stopped space. Otherwise, the sudden presence of dragon power and residual energy making it hard to breathe was eerie.
Zi Liliu briefly explained the situation, which seemed dire. Geirerofi also sensed it and wore a troubled expression. To him, the situation seemed hopeless.
"Experiencing the same thing twice is very uncomfortable."
"How did you two survive, Qiyinuofei?"
"Humans cannot do it, nor can you reach the level of wandering between the cracks of the world. The remaining dragons cannot achieve it either. These matters have always been controlled by the 'Dragons of Space and Time.' They both have no chance of helping us now."
"What will happen to my Master next?" Nofice asked.
"Soul separation. Monet revealed the ultimate goal. What else can we do!"
"Will the Master switch to Monet Gaous's dragon body?"
"I know what you’re thinking. If your Master obtains a dragon body, they will be sealed, and that body is too shattered, with weak spots between the dragon head, spine, and body. Prolonged battles will cause it to collapse. Without the heart seed, Monet Gaous would lose to Reisgolo, who reshapes the dragon body, which is highly likely. But... the heart seed, it's hard to believe after planning for so long."
In Zi Liliu's heart, she felt even more sorrow than Geirerofi because the idea of The Demon Realm was tormenting her greatly. What was most detestable was that they concealed the most critical information, leading to the current predicament, which was also a dilemma for the world itself.
The Magic elements of the three realms were almost depleted, and the collision of the world intensified further. Even the Empire's Magic array could not resist the world's restructuring.
Beneath the spiral sky, the dragon clan's sacred object rose high, indicating that the entire ceremony was beginning. The Dragon Spirit Contract had weakened all the girls involved, and I was gradually being led away from this golden shell. The transparent Monet Gaous was dancing around me, his excitement filling the sea effortlessly under the influence of the 'Dragon Heart Seed'.
The dragon soul seemed to be clamped by a clip, manipulated at will. Mornegaos and my dragon souls were transferred into each other's bodies through the sacred object!
"This feeling makes me sick." Even though we changed dragon bodies, the heartseed still followed me.
"Sleep well! Return to the sacred object, and I may generously send all the girls into it." Controlling the golden dragon body at the pinnacle of the sky, the long-lost dragon body was so powerful and divine in every move, he was the true master of the golden dragon body.
The sacred object absorbed the transparent me, with green refracted light inside the sacred object, the cramped space of the crystalline was uncomfortable, I suddenly had a familiar feeling, I remembered my birth, disturbing how many times we each returned to our original places, such a subtle feeling, humans think fate should be so, the dragon clan should not believe in fate, but fate is so strange.
"Oh? The representative of The Human Realm, why not enjoy the feeling of rebirth and fusion properly, what are you doing standing in front of me?" Mornegaos arrogantly controlled the fate of the Three Realms, with the Devourer's core in hand already in the countdown to the depletion of Magic elements, as long as he triggered the collision of the spiral Three Realms again, all creatures and spirits would enter the next stage - returning to the power of the world.
"Put me in!" Liliu's voice was weak, pale.
"Begging me?"
"Yes."
"So cold! But if I'm in a good mood, I'll grant your wish." Mornegaos with a joyful laugh, sent Zi Liliu into the sacred object, with one hand on the sacred object and the other on the Devourer’s core wandering in the darkness before the arrival of the new world.
I stayed in the cold but not disliked crystalline space for about a dozen minutes, where I seemed to no longer feel time.
"Why did you come in."
"Qin Yang, I'm here to take you away." Zi Liliu's words were strange.
"Are you kidding, what can you do by going out? Can you win? Can you survive? If I die, if the dragon soul is destroyed, you will all be gone."
I turned my back as a dragon body to Zi Liliu, not wanting to consider anything anymore.
"I know, I understand, though the current mood is very bad, but you still have hope."
"Hope? The idea of The Demon Realm that you mentioned, maybe their true desire is to return to wholeness, what do you think?"
"They just don't want to be destroyed, although integration is good, they can't get rid of the dragon clan."
"Is that so, let everything develop freely."
"Do you really not care?"
I said in despair, "Can it be controlled? There is still the heartseed of the dragon clan, not to mention the wisdom of all beings, which is non-existent."
"They lack emotions, no matter how high the wisdom, using a heart of wisdom is empty."
"And you? My queen, with emotions like you, have you thought of any wise moves?"
"I have, but you have to do it." Zi Liliu's tone was heavy, does she really have a plan?
"Tell me."
Zi Liliu came around to me and said, "My memory is the history of the Three Realms, of course, I also know the history of the original dragon realm. At the end of the division of the Three Realms, when the dragon emperors were discussing the new world, those recommended for sacrifice were offering Mornegaos, who accepted it willingly at that time. In his eyes then, the dragon clan was everything to him, his thoughts were on the future of the dragon clan, that's who he was at that time."
"At that time! So admirable, I also know that he became like this after being forgotten by the dragon clan."
"Do you know how he got this transparent dragon body? As far as I know, dragon bodies are unique, not just anyone can easily control another dragon body. Even you need the Dragon Command to do so, and it's not permanent. Yet he's been able to use the transparent dragon body up to this day. This particular dragon body has its uniqueness as the color is chosen after reaching adulthood and cannot be changed for life. However, this one is transparent because it was formed by all the Dragon Emperors at that time - 'the Miraculous Body'. I speculate that this dragon body can be controlled by all dragon clans, but not everyone can comprehend it."
"Comprehend? This is..."
In both Zi Liliu's and my eyes, a glimmer of light shone.
