Chapter 1373 2 possibilities
"The gods..."
A hint of disbelief flashed in Ye Ge's eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly: "You mean, even the gods are pawns guided by that prophecy...?"
"That's right." Long Zheng paused briefly, "Of course, this is merely my speculation; I have no evidence to back it up."
Ye Ge fell into deep thought.
"Why do you have such a conjecture?" Ye Ge asked Long Zheng, puzzled.
"Because during my reign, I had the privilege of listening to an old high priest interpret a celestial prophecy tablet." Long Zheng paced slowly in the tomb chamber, his black dragon robe gleaming faintly in the spiritual light. "While he listened to the divine oracle before me, I unexpectedly learned some secrets of the divine realm."
“Because when I was in power, I once heard an old priest interpret a stone tablet with a prophecy of the heavens.” Long Zheng walked slowly in the tomb with his hands behind his back. “When he listened to the divine oracle in front of me, he unexpectedly learned some secrets of the divine realm.”
"The realm of gods..." Ye Ge's eyes lit up immediately, showing interest: "What information?"
“A thousand years ago, a civil war broke out in the realm of gods… Oh, perhaps this war in the realm of gods is still continuing in this era.” Long Zheng said solemnly, “I have learned by chance that the cause of this war in the realm of gods was a prophetic stone tablet.”
Ye Ge's eyebrows twitched instantly.
“Through that prophetic stone tablet, the God King, Emperor Guang, successfully obtained a certain type of law power that He had never obtained before.” Long Zheng said in a deep voice, “But that war in the God Realm also affected the entire map of all races. The mortal realm experienced a blizzard for fifty years and a scorching heat for seventy years. During this period, the mortal realm also experienced various other terrible disasters, such as storms, plagues, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and demonic tide pollution... Almost all the natural disasters you can imagine were staged in turn during that period.”
Night Song: "I see..."
"His suspicions were not without merit." The Azure Dragon spoke slowly, "Millions of years ago, Ye Qiong also obtained a prophetic stone tablet, which led him to dispatch celestial soldiers and generals to hunt down the ancient races. At the same time, He also learned through the tablet that the power of law He had long sought was in the hands of me and the God of Extreme Yin, ultimately forcing us to seal and bury the power of law we possessed."
Ye Ge was somewhat surprised: "Billions of years ago? The Heavenly Prophecy Tablet already existed in your time?"
Qinglong Laodeng: "Yes."
"..."
A thoughtful look flashed in Ye Ge's eyes: "So... the one truly behind the scenes driving this Eighth War of Ten Thousand Races isn't Emperor Guang Ye Qiong... but someone else entirely? Who is that person...?"
“If the prophetic tablet from over 100 million years ago and the prophetic tablet of today are of the same origin, then this person has lived for at least 100 million years,” Long Zheng analyzed. “An existence that can survive for such a long time can only be a god-level or legendary life form.”
"In other words, it's either some other ancient deity even more ancient than Ye Qiong, or a sacred beast or a ferocious beast like the Azure Dragon or Chaos?" Ye Ge asked.
Long Zheng nodded slightly: "Perhaps."
Ye Ge narrowed his eyes: "Could it be the God of Extreme Yin...?"
He remembered that the God of Extreme Yin was a deity even older than Emperor Guang Yeqiong.
"No, I don't think so." The Azure Dragon Elder said, "Have you forgotten that Mo Nanxi, the Pope of the Extreme Yin Sect, is also searching for the stone tablet of the Heavenly Dao Prophecy? If it were truly the work of the Extreme Yin God, why would He order his apostles to go to such lengths?"
Night Song: "That's true..."
This is puzzling.
It was neither Emperor Guang Yeqiong nor the God of Extreme Yin.
Who else could it be?
But what was the purpose of that being that triggered so many wars, causing chaos in the divine realm and the mortal realm?
Long Zheng gazed at Ye Ge's pensive expression and slowly said, "I have left a wisp of my soul here to warn future generations of the human race who come here—if possible, try not to open the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions Treasure, which is sealed by the Azure Dragon, or to unlock the power of the laws sealed by the Azure Dragon and the God of Extreme Yin."
"Of course, you came here today to help Lord Qinglong break the seal, so there's no other way."
"But the other six star seals—Horn, Root, Room, Heart, Tail, and Winnowing Basket—each bury a portion of the Azure Dragon's remains, as well as the power of a certain element's laws. If possible, it's best not to let them see the light of day again."
Ye Ge shrugged: "That's easy. Right now, I'm the only one in the entire myriad races who has gathered the power of the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon and the power of the God of Extreme Yin. Apart from me, I don't think anyone else can open the treasures of the other star-sealed lands."
Long Zheng nodded slightly.
At this moment, he raised his arm and lightly waved his dragon robe. The light fragments on the dome slowly gathered, transforming into two cyan halos that gently drifted down.
He gave it a gentle push, and two halos of light floated to Ye Ge's front.
"These are fragments of the Azure Dragon's skeleton buried in this constellation, as well as the power of the law sealed here—the Law of Existence."
"Now that the seal has been broken, I might as well entrust these two items to you for safekeeping."
Long Zheng turned to look at Qinglong Laodeng: "Your Excellency Qinglong, what do you think?"
“I have no objection.” Qinglong Laodeng looked at Yege and said, “The seal has been broken, and my power is far less than before. It is impossible for me to reseal this thing. So, I think it is the best choice to leave it with Yege for the time being.”
Ye Ge gazed at the two azure orbs of light, slightly raised his hand, causing them to levitate in his palm, and whispered, "Fragments of the Azure Dragon's skeleton... the laws of existence..."
He turned to look at Qinglong: "Speaking of which, Old Deng, I heard that your bone fragments can be used for cultivation by extraordinary individuals, and can even help them break through to demigod status? Well, I'd like to ask if you have any objections to using your bone fragments to cultivate, your fellow inmate?"
Qinglong Laodeng: "...I have no objection. I am already dead. Those bone fragments are just fossils of my body after hundreds of millions of years. There is no point in keeping them for me. You can use them if you want."
"Good, good, good." Ye Ge laughed: "Old Deng, you're so generous. It wasn't for nothing that I told you stories back then when we were in jail together."
Qinglong Laodeng: "......"
“There’s no problem with you using the Azure Dragon bone fragments for cultivation,” Long Zheng said. “However, since they contain the power of laws, you’d better not mess with them.”
Ye Ge looked at the other ball of light in her hand with a puzzled expression: "Why?"
"The mortal bodies of beings in the mortal realm are incapable of bearing the terrifying energy of the laws," Long Zheng said earnestly. "There are only two ways to wield the power of the laws. One is that you must first cultivate to the level of a god, and you must be at least a high-level god. Although you are currently a Soul Emperor realm transcendent being, and quite powerful among our human race, and even among all the races in the mortal realm, you are still far from being able to cultivate the power of the laws."
"Oh..." Ye Ge paused, "What about the second one?"
"The second type is the ability to control the power of the Heavenly Dao. It is a forbidden power from ancient times, existing only in legends. It is said that only the Creator God, the Heavenly Dao, and the three ancient divine beasts of the primordial era truly possessed this power. Legend has it that some people in ancient times obtained this forbidden power through certain methods, but after using this power, they almost never lived past the next day. They were completely reduced to blood and eventually vanished into nothingness, their souls scattered..."
Long Zheng shook his head: "So this second method is even more impossible for you, because even among the current god-level beings, none of them truly possess this power, not even the God King Guangdi Yeqiong."
