After the Dragon God Festival ceremony, the whole country began to celebrate. On this day, all food and drinks in the entire city of Shen were free, and people could indulge in the festivities. This event was not limited to just the country, as long as you were in this city, you could enjoy this privilege. How could Shen City not be lively on this day?
In addition to the free food and drinks, Shen City also had many special performances showcasing Anzu's unique culture, completely different from the mainland, with a long history and fascinating to watch.
Bexia was also caught up in the atmosphere. As a diplomatic envoy, the Anzu Kingdom naturally arranged dedicated personnel to "take care" of Bexia and lead them in exploring Shen City. Before they knew it, the day had come to an end.
The next morning, Bexia arrived at Shen Square. Today was the day to activate the Dragon God Space and the key time for Anzu to select a new High Priest. After thinking it through, Bexia decided to enter the space to help Long Momo.
Becoming the High Priest was no easy task. For the candidates, it was a matter of life and death. Legend had it that the Dragon God Space contained the legacy of the Dragon God, and the candidates had to go to the place of inheritance to obtain it. The higher the level of the inheritance they obtained, the more likely they would become the next High Priest.
Within the Dragon God Space, there were no rules or restrictions between the candidates. It was a place specifically designed for them to fight each other, and killing was not prohibited. Perhaps some people had already died in the quest for the Dragon God's legacy before even finding it.
Once a candidate obtained the inheritance, the consequences for the loser were dire. Generally, they only had two choices: either submit to the new High Priest or have their dragon bloodline extracted to activate the dragon bloodline within the new High Priest's body. There were no other options available. This was the cruel nature of Anzu's High Priest election.
Those whose dragon bloodline was extracted either became useless, unable to cultivate, or died!
This information was originally somewhat secretive, but Bexia learned about it through Ju Hua. As a Forge Master and Champion, although he was not a central figure in the church, he was aware of things that ordinary people were not.
After hearing this news yesterday, Bexia had trouble sleeping. Just thinking about Long Momo's reluctance when she came back, he now understood why. She knew what she would have to face when she returned. Perhaps... it was possible... that they would never have a chance to see each other again in the future.
The more Bexia thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. As someone who had already arrived in the Anzu Kingdom, would he just stand by and let this happen?
The answer was naturally impossible. He had made a decision in his heart last night – to enter the Dragon God Space and help Long Momo. If that didn't work, then he would escape with her. He didn't believe that with the power to traverse space using the Eight Pole Cloud Umbrella, they couldn't escape from this place.
"Why did you dress like this, Master?" Christine's voice sounded in the consciousness space. At this moment, Bexia was wearing a black cloak, completely concealing any trace of his presence.
This cloak was no ordinary item; it was the invisible cloak given to him by Black Blade. Although it wasn't currently invisibility, it had the ability to hide his aura. Unless it was a high-level champion, ordinary champions wouldn't be able to see through him.
"This can save some unnecessary trouble!" It was not a sufficient short answer. His gaze suddenly froze as he stared blankly at the figure that appeared on the stage. It was Long Momo, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
At this moment, she was surrounded by countless people, dressed in a luxurious priestess robe, with a dragon-shaped hair bun on her head, and a touch of faint crimson on her lips. Her gaze looked toward the person who appeared from the other side, Long Hao, who had a slight connection with Bexia!
The appearance of the two ignited the atmosphere at the scene. Regardless of their identities, their appearance alone made them top-notch in terms of looks. Not to mention their strength, they were the ideal choice for many young boys and girls in the audience. However, this kind of thing could only be fantasized about.
"Christine, their strength must have improved a lot, right?!" Although she couldn't feel it herself, Christine had a special ability.
"Long Momo is now a top-level nine-star, and as for Long Hao... he is an Extreme one-star!" Christine replied.
"That's amazing!" Bexia was surprised by Christine's answer. Long Momo had just reached the top level, and now she was already at full star.
And Long Hao, who had become an Extreme level, surprised Bexia even more. This meant that Long Momo was at a complete disadvantage, didn't it? After all, despite their small difference in strength, it was well known that there was a huge gap between the top level and the Extreme level, with a difference in combat power of more than ten times.
"I have no choice but to use the Battle God's will!" Bexia said in her heart. Although she had consumed a lot of power from the glorious core of the Huanhuan Yao Shi last time, there was still a lot left inside. This became one of her hole cards. Once the power of the Battle God's will was activated, she could burst out with strong power in a short time.
As for using the Eightfold Cloud Umbrella to run away, that was a last resort. After all, the precondition for doing this was that Long Momo had already failed and lost her qualification as a competing High Priest. In that case, the only option was to run away. However, once she escaped, she would inevitably face the pursuit of the Great Dragon Church, and Long Momo would have to hide and wander from then on. This was not what Bexia wanted to see.
Therefore, from the beginning, Bexia's best plan was to help Long Momo win, running away was just a backup plan.
There were not only Long Momo and Long Hao competing for the Dragon God's inheritance. In addition to outsiders like Bexia, who entered the space using the Great Dragon Token, there were also locals from Anzu who entered it. Theoretically, anyone with dragon blood in their body had the possibility of obtaining the inheritance. Therefore, competition within the Dragon God's space was extremely fierce. Moreover, the rule of the Great Dragon Church was that whoever obtained the highest inheritance would become the next High Priest. There had been cases in history where non-candidates became High Priests.
It could be said that as long as you have enough strength, no matter what level of inheritance you obtain, as long as you eliminate all the others, you would become the heir to the High Priest. There was no dispute about this, it was something recognized by the entire Anzu.
Therefore, the most terrifying thing in the Dragon God's space was the people who entered it. Each and every one of them had the potential to become the High Priest. But who could remain calm in the face of such temptation?
As Bexia pondered, all the people who entered the Dragon God Space had already begun to gather. The passage to enter the Dragon God Space was opened in mid-air and could only be reached by riding a magic airship. And now, it was the final stage. All the people who wanted to enter the Dragon God Space gathered at the pre-arranged airship location, waiting for the next step to begin!
