Chapter 923: Chapter 451: Human Form Avatar (Part 2)

At that time, the Dragon God had already taken on a mortal form and was walking among the various races.

The Dwarves are truly a race with a different style from others; while others suffered or were harmed due to the world’s fragmentation, the Dwarves faced extinction because, apart from the last descendant, the Island Founder, the Earth Spirits provoked Sable, and the Dwarves provoked Fafnir—they brought destruction upon themselves, pure troublemakers.

After saying this, Li Ang thought of another question upon seeing these followers.

"I notice that your appearance is also similar to your followers." Li Ang said to Inanna.

"Yes, I have integrated the traits of their races." Inanna replied with a smile.

Her words made both Camilla and Talia show expressions of reverence.

Li Ang could certainly see this, although he hadn’t met the Wind Shadow of the Three Dragons, he had heard descriptions and seen part of it in the Illusion Realm; among them, Inanna’s human form was the most unique.

She didn’t choose an existing race from Nebis but displayed traits of both the Horned Race and Beast-Earkin, along with some minor characteristics of Dragon men; her tall and voluptuous figure differed from these two races.

"I want to ask, do you choose your appearance at will? Can you change it anytime?"

"No."

Understanding Li Ang’s intent, Inanna explained, "Among us, Akuya was the first to transform into a human form; she was inspired by the primal being’s stance as there was no concept of mortals at that time. We simply wanted to approach and understand these brothers and sisters born at the beginning of creation.

"The initial acquaintance sparked events similar to those that happened recently at Creation Boundary Mountain and the Garden of Creation."

"Is it akin to disagreements leading to acquaintance?"

"In a way. However, for me, transforming into human form was slower because the nature of the earth is somewhat like this. Heavy, gradual."

At this point, Inanna seemed a bit shy and bowed her head, observing Li Ang’s attitude.

Seeing him indifferent to the "slowly moving rocks and soil," she felt somewhat relieved.

"We discussed how to transform before; Agni led the conversation."

"They are more akin to primal beings."

"Yes."

Inanna stated that although each retained their own attributes and some traits of the Dragon Race, the human form chosen by the Six Dragons was modeled after primal beings.

Li Ang had yet to understand why the humans of Nebis resembled primal beings. If it were a game, this layer should be reversed. But having lived here for many years, he revered the ethereal Creator God. Thus, he considered the relationship between the two based on chronological order.

However, the current focus was on Inanna choosing a form similar to her followers.

"It was only after meeting Talia and Camilla that I decided on my mortal image."

Inanna said that the Six Dragons’ forms could change, but not easily, because the transformation into a human form was not an illusion technique, nor did it have much similarity to the transformation of the Shapeshifter Profession. It was more akin to rediscovering oneself.

The Dragon God must determine the nature of their power and why they existed before successfully partitioning a "human form avatar" from their main body.

When the avatar walks the world, the main body either remains dormant or exists in a magical state between the material and the Magic Power Dimension.

Thus, the avatar counts as themselves, albeit heavy with the main body, it can be destroyed, and when consciousness returns to the main body, the next avatar to emerge is the same.

Because that is the "self" they acknowledge.

"Therefore, in your heart, you hold those who follow you." Li Ang said to Inanna.

This should be undeniable, hence Talia and the others held her in even greater reverence.

"The earth should be inclusive, loving, and equal; I think I should be the same." Inanna said with her cheeks slightly flushed, lowering her head with a slight contraction of her golden Dragon’s Vertical Pupil, exhibiting a unique beauty.

Li Ang better understood why Agni described her as "gentle yet resolute."

Under the reverent gaze of the followers, the group walked onto the gradually leveling avenue and saw ancient vehicles and other means of transportation. The roads here not only facilitated walking but were also built for transporting minerals and gemstones.

"What is this?"

"Exchanging for precious items from other divine realms to sustain the Heart of the Earth, mainly to ensure our own livelihood." Camilla said.

"After all, the revered Inanna does not need mortal food; we still do. Generously, she entrusted all this for us to manage." Talia said.

Li Ang nodded to them, turned to look at Inanna, and saw her in a good mood, skipping slightly as she walked and humming tunes akin to the most ancient Dragon Language, tossing a gemstone into her mouth.

Just as they passed her "snack cabinet," a mine producing precious metals and gemstones, she grabbed a handful and put them in her mouth.

The gemstone crunched and was devoured like candy.

Can you really eat them like that?

Wait, can you eat things from the Illusion Realm?

Oh, this is the world where the Ten Thousand Spirits manifest. Since the fruits could be eaten, this isn’t surprising; half of the Illusion Realm is indeed real.

Alright, being able to temporarily escape the pain brought by the Bloody Red Land and immerse in past joys, such a feeling lasting for a while is good.

Li Ang then started chatting with those two followers.

"Can the guest visiting us disclose first? Is it another of the Six Dragons?"

"No, it’s one of the most esteemed primal beings, named Shahar, known as the ’Morning Star of the World.’

"Is this title like..."

Li Ang recalled hearing that name, the suffix remained just as he was recalling it, even as he was tormented by the curse.

Zosia Shaher.

Primal beings do not adhere to the naming conventions of later generations; his suffix is his most prestigious title.

"Zosia visiting?"

Is it because of my connection with the Spiritual Forger? Has Illusion Realm conflicted with this Demon King?

Upon hearing the name, Diao reverted to human form.

With roads now flat, there was no need for her to walk in a large cat form, yet she felt awkward, reluctant to show herself.

Now wasn’t the time for commotion, yet upon reverting to human form, she seemed aware of previous impropriety, with her entire face blushing, pretending like nothing was wrong, saying, "If we face that one, we need to prepare in advance."

"We likely won’t fight." Inanna said beside her.

After eating several gemstones, she came over to listen to Li Ang and Talia talk.

"What do you mean? Was it common for Zosia to seek you out back then?"

"Yes, after we met him, he frequently traveled to various Six Dragons Divine Realms."

Li Ang and Diao exchanged a peculiar glance.

"Wait, I can’t manage the information well. Was he your friend before becoming a demon?"

"We Six Dragons once thought so, but Zosia did not acknowledge it; he harbored no concept of friendship."

"Alright, when the world was torn and you were heavily impacted, was he already exiled?"

"Did I...just not mention it?" Inanna asked instead.

"No." Both Li Ang and Diao responded, simultaneously fixing their eyes on her.

"Sorry, I forgot to clarify; at that time, Zosia was already dead."

"Huh?"

Li Ang was slightly startled.

It meant, even in the present day Nebis, regardless of what the so-called Crimson Demon was plotting or intending to do, it had nothing to do with Zosia, the Demon King.

He had perished long ago in the distant Ancient Era.

Li Ang was forming words around what to continue asking when ahead was the Gilded Grand Hall.

Built atop Stone Mountain, but the road up was spiral, avoiding any steep climb.

Sitting on the hall’s seat indeed was the primal being composed seemingly of crystal seen previously.

Beside him, there was a highly conspicuous young girl, both glamorous and pure, her appearance seeming heavily made up yet appearing only slightly touched up.

A closer look revealed that it seemed to be her eyebrows surrounding some colorful crystalline powder reflecting various hues under varying lights. The vibrant powder around her eyes contributed to the difference in appearance. Her colorful hair extending to resemble either ears or tendrils uniquely marked her as of the Dragon Race.
