Chapter 221 - 221 Residual Divine Sense

221 Residual Divine Sense

The current Long Zhan couldn’t even be compared to a remnant soul. It was just a residual wisp of divine sense. If Ye Xuan hadn’t nourished the Dragon Pearl with so much dragon blood, this wisp of divine sense probably wouldn’t have appeared.

Therefore, since this was just Long Zhan’s residual wisp of divine sense, its memory was incomplete. Hence, it could not answer Ye Xuan’s question.

Ye Xuan was a little disappointed. However, he understood that Long Zhan’s current appearance was merely a remnant of its divine sense. It was in danger of dissipating at any time.

Long Zhan was a mighty figure in the past. Ye Xuan had witnessed Long Zhan’s heroic bearing. It was a creature who stood at the peak of the world, but it ended up like this.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

!!

Even if they had won in the battle, that man had probably paid an unimaginable price to achieve victory.

“By the way, I also encountered your skeleton earlier…”

Ye Xuan talked about the bone dragon. He felt a little strange. From their conversation, Long Zhan was not bloodthirsty and cruel. Even if it was offended and disturbed, its skeleton shouldn’t have behaved that way.

Based on Long Zhan’s explanation just now, it had just awakened this wisp of divine sense. In that case, what was attached to the bone dragon previously?

“What? Was there such a thing! That definitely wasn’t me!”

Long Zhan was very shocked after he heard Ye Xuan’s description. It gritted his teeth.

“Back then, I was seriously injured and died. My divine soul had already dissipated. Even this wisp of divine sense was left behind by a freakish combination of factors, but I didn’t expect that my corpse would be infected with an ominous aura.”

Long Zhan had its speculation about what happened. The dragon clan had powerful physical bodies. Even after Long Zhan perished back then, its corpse was preserved for hundreds of years.

Due to the great battle, living creatures did not dare to approach that place. Long Zhan’s dissatisfaction and murderous aura before its death had caused a land of death to form. For hundreds of years, it had been surrounded by black Qi, filled with an ominous ambience. It was only after 1000 years that things began to improve.

In such an environment, the dragon corpse had absorbed a lot of evil Qi and resentment, including that of other creatures which died in the battle. These ominous auras were all mixed together.

Since Long Zhan’s soul had completely dissipated, there was nothing to suppress these negative emotions. Hence, an evil spirit was born and attached itself to the dragon’s skeleton. Of course, most of this was caused by the creature behind the crack in the sky.

After listening to Long Zhan’s explanation, Ye Xuan nodded and said, “No wonder I felt that there was something wrong with that bone dragon. It was just a fake.”

He also thought of the black spots that appeared on Long Zhan’s body after he was injured. He had seen them on the bone dragon as well.

However, Ye Xuan still couldn’t understand why the dragon’s remains seemed to have been sealed off by someone in an alternate dimension. If it wasn’t for the place’s accidental connection with Changping, it probably wouldn’t have seen the light of day.

Long Zhan let out a faint sigh and lamented, “I didn’t expect that my useless pile of bones almost caused such a huge mess.”

Although it did not play an active role in the incident, the skeleton was still its own. After all, it was the unwillingness and resentment it had before death that gave those foul creatures an opportunity to take advantage of.

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but think of that man.

After all, his strength was even more powerful and unfathomable than Long Zhan. Otherwise, he would not be able to ride on the latter’s head. Judging from Long Zhan’s memory, it obeyed the man willingly.

If Long Zhan was an ocean that stretched as far as the eye could see, then the man was the vast and boundless universe. He had already exceeded the comprehension of the world.

How did such a powerful figure fall? Did he die together with the terrifying creature behind the crack?

“Do you still remember him?”

Ye Xuan didn’t know the man’s name, so he could only refer to the man in the third person.

“Him?”

As expected, Long Zhan was unsure of who Ye Xuan was referring to. It thought for a long time before reluctantly saying, “He was a very powerful old friend, and also the person I admire the most.”

Long Zhan did not even remember the man! Ye Xuan thought of the scene he had seen in the Dragon Pearl. The two of them fought side by side, through life and death.

If the man’s body still remained, would it be tainted like Long Zhan’s? Or perhaps it was already gone? Ye Xuan considered all sorts of possibilities, but they were all just speculation.

There were no records of that great war after 1000 years. It was as if all traces of history had been erased. Ye Xuan felt conflicted.

If it wasn’t for Long Zhan and that man, the terrifying creature behind the crack would have already descended upon the world. From its aura that Ye Xuan had sensed, that would not have been a good thing.

The world would have been plunged into darkness and chaos.

However, no one knew about the sacrifices of Long Zhan and the man.

Both of them fell silent. Long Zhan’s tone was indifferent as it lamented, “The long river of history has taken away too much. The current me is just a divine sense struggling on its last breath.”

It continued, “By the way, I’m quite curious about how you awakened the Dragon Pearl.”

After all, during the great war, Long Zhan had been seriously injured, resulting in the Dragon Pearl being in such a pathetic state. Logically speaking, this remaining divine sense would have been extremely difficult to awaken.

Ye Xuan made a rough gesture as he explained, “I watered it with this much dragon blood.”

Long Zhan was speechless.

Although dragon blood was not as precious as a Dragon Pearl, in this era where the dragon clan was extinct, even half a bottle of dragon blood was hard to come by. Moreover, the dragon blood that Ye Xuan used contained such power and had no impurities.

Ye Xuan thought to himself, “Dragon blood supplied by my system is definitely of the highest quality.” On top of the quality, he had used it generously without hesitation. That was how he managed to awaken Long Zhan’s divine sense. If the Dragon Pearl was in anyone else’s hands, they would not have been able to awaken it even with the most precious celestial treasure.

Long Zhan questioned, “Those stingy dragons actually gave you so much blood?”

Even if they were of the same origin, Long Zhan did not hesitate at all to mock the dragons.
