Chapter 746 - 341: Legend and Myth, the Golden Giant Egg atop the Heaven-Reaching Tower (Part 2)

"A true divine artifact contains the mark of a god, an instrument closely connected to their divine position, with the inherent rule power and divine power forming a carrying capacity that surpasses the strongest attack a near-god powerhouse can unleash."

"Coupled with the power of time, this makes the divine artifact a part of time itself, with rule protection from time."

At this point, the King of Ten Thousand Dragons couldn’t help but laugh.

Yet that smile seemed somewhat helpless.

He spread out his hands, just like a troubled child encountering a problem.

"Pray tell, how do you destroy the concept of time itself? There is no God of Time or Time Element on the Gods Continent. For this reason, Felix and I said divine artifacts are indestructible."

"Time?"

Lu Wenwu couldn’t help but frown.

This concept was so classic that it made him wonder if he was overthinking it a bit.

Legend gives birth to faith, faith forges myth.

This is indeed a classic method of ascension to divinity.

Establish a religion, spread faith, ignite the divine fire, consolidate the divine format, raise the divine throne, forge the divine country.

One could even say the "Power of Faith" in the classic Western fantasy world fundamentally involves a bit of my power of thought, a metaphysical thing.

Even if one can slightly scientifically explain those concept-leaning extraordinary forces with "Power of Belief," "Power of the Heart," "Power of Spirit," and "Cluster Consciousness Distortion of Reality," etc.

But...

The in-destructibility of divine artifacts shouldn’t truly be like the explanations from Felix and the King of Ten Thousand Dragons, should it?

Otherwise, how does one explain the essence of the Blood Demon Bra and magic spells?

Lu Wenwu still leaned towards his own speculation.

The message left by the Dragon God might have been intentionally distorted a bit.

Just as these dragons do not understand that the Dragon God doesn’t actually want his descendants to ascend to divinity.

Instead of explaining a bunch of irrelevant things, it’s better to concoct a theory that is nine parts true and one part false yet appears logical and coherent, which others find difficult to verify.

After exchanging a few simple words with the King of Ten Thousand Dragons and Felix, Lu Wenwu straightforwardly extinguished the thought of obtaining deeper information from them.

Why not directly ask the Dragon God!

Isn’t it said that passing through ninety-nine levels allows entrance into the divine country to meet the Dragon God?

Brother Wu would certainly check it out!

Thus, while the numerous dragons were still bewildered, Lu Wenwu had already re-entered the Dragon Bone Celestial Tower.

As for the others who surrounded him, wanting to ask about the entity of the Purgatory Dragon and the sea of thunder overhead...

They ultimately said nothing.

In a dragon race that believes in the rule of strength, those with the biggest fists naturally have the toughest stances.

As long as you are formidable enough, even if you claim the sun is green, those who can’t defeat you must admit it.

At least on the surface.

Currently, Lu Wenwu is evidently the one with the biggest fists and the toughest stance.

The distance between him and the current Dragon Emperor is just one ascension ceremony in front of the Dragon God’s divine statue, plus some dragon battle arrays and secret inheritance.

As such, if he wants to go first to the Dragon Bone Celestial Tower, naturally, no elder would dare impede him like some idiotic antagonist in female-oriented web novels.

No kidding!

What caliber Brother Wu has!

This is the strongest Dragon Emperor who single-handedly annihilated the ten-thousand-strong army of the Church of Light, plus thirteen near-god powerhouses, and destroyed the Divine Sword of Judgment throughout history!

Even if Brother Wu said now that an egg stuck problem could be cured or that bread made from Longwei Wheat is edible, it would absolutely be the truth!

Before our great Dragon Emperor returns, clean up the sea and collect the spoils!

The elders are very relieved that many of the divine servants’ space magic items have been left behind, which is a considerable fortune.

They could be exchanged for a lot of gold to be spread over the dragon nest.

Rolling in a pile of gold coins is extremely comfortable!

Lu Wenwu had no idea what those dragon elders were thinking; he had already returned to the ninety-ninth level of the Dragon Bone Celestial Tower.

The previous levels had been preserved, and the teleportation gate that seemed to lead to the last level was still there.

Without any hesitation, Lu Wenwu pushed open the door and stepped in.

Then...

Then nothing happened.

Because this was not a teleportation gate.

Lu Wenwu had been waiting for the transmission and repositioning of space power.

When the dazzling golden light faded, he found out how plain and unadorned it was behind it.

Behind the door...was a staircase leading to the hundredth level!

The kind you have to ascend step by step!

This staircase didn’t even have a handrail!

So simple, it’s pitiful!

Lu Wenwu, with a rather bizarre feeling, stepped quickly up and soon arrived at the top level.

Pushing open a door of unknown material, the scenery of the top level came into view.

Inside the pure white hemispherical room, at the very center, floated a Hunyuan ball emanating golden light.

This big golden ball hovered about a meter above the ground, with a diameter of about five meters, resembling a super-sized marble forged from gold.

Lu Wenwu, full of curiosity, looked towards the big gold ball, activating the Eye of True Sight.

[Dragon God / Race Rule Manifestation·Dragon (Ascension Tier One/None)]: ???/???

[Cultivation]: God/None

[Current State]: Rule Manifestation, Pseudo-Unity Dao, Rule Protection, Pseudo-Wisdom Consciousness

[Analysis]: The product of the Dragon God Dracul merging with his divine position, divine format, divine artifact, divine country, and divine fire. The Dragon Realm is immortal; the Dragon God is undying. The Dragon God is undying; the Dragon Realm is immortal.

Lu Wenwu: "???"

Huh?

This thing is the Dragon God?

What about entering the divine country to receive the Dragon God’s guidance and becoming the new supreme god?

This script isn’t right!

And wait a minute...what’s this about the Dragon God harmonizing the Dao again?

Do you have such a thing here?

You must be from another channel, dude!

Just as Lu Wenwu was pondering whether to step forward and knock, a familiar voice suddenly rang out:

"You’re here."

"I’m here."

"You..."

"Shouldn’t have come?"

Big Golden Egg: "...Why would you think that?"

Lu Wenwu pondered for a moment: "Classic plot lines that web novel authors who like to pad word counts write, they can pad almost a hundred words in a piece!"

"Web novel authors and padding word counts...what is that again?" Big Golden Egg fell into confusion. "Forget it, that’s not important. What’s important is...you’re not truly of the dragon race—or rather, you’re at least not of the bloodline related to me, but bypassed the bloodline verification in some way, right?"

"Yes, so?"

Lu Wenwu suddenly became a bit excited, his tone filled with enthusiasm.

"Are you planning to withhold the inheritance, then fight me and expel me? Though I’m not sure how you’ll fight in your current form, you are after all the Dragon God! The combat power of a god should be strong, right!"

"Your insight and reasoning abilities...are excellent, just like your combat power." The Dragon God seemed a bit awkward at having his identity revealed, "But has anyone ever told you that your imagination might be a bit too vivid?"

"Not going to fight?" Lu Wenwu raised his brow, "That’s boring, I thought I finally had some transmigrator protagonist treatment, where even a passing street dog has to bite once."

Dragon God: "..."

Suddenly felt that letting such a guy come up was a burden.

Is there something wrong with his mind?

What’s he even talking about!

Lu Wenwu evidently hadn’t learned the ability to discern expressions from a ball, and he didn’t want to keep using the Eye of True Sight for analysis.

So he kept talking to himself: "Oh by the way, how did you determine I wasn’t of your bloodline? I thought you didn’t employ any method to scan the body, otherwise, I should have detected it."

The Dragon God paused and answered helplessly, "I set the first ninety-nine layers of the Dragon Bone Celestial Tower; none of my bloodline descendants could get through. Those who can get through surely aren’t pure-blooded dragon race. The power ceiling of the dragon race was set long ago."

"I see...that’s reasonable!"

Lu Wenwu suddenly understood.

"Small doubts resolved, let’s get to the heart of the matter, straight to the point."

"What about entering your divine country after passing through?"

"And why did you previously say I shouldn’t become a god?"

"Moreover, why did all you gods disappear from the continent even though you truly exist?"

Dragon God: "..."

I feel like this might be a bit too straightforward.

Seems a bit unsure how to answer these very sharp questions.

The Dragon God hesitated for a dozen seconds before slowly saying, "The space where Dragon Island is located is my divine country."
