Chapter 1392: Chapter 1392: The True God
“Hm.” Zhong Zhichang’s expression didn’t change. “Seeing this is perfectly normal. Do you have any good suggestions?”
Lan Xuanyu pondered for a moment and then said, “I wouldn’t dare to call it a good suggestion. But I think the first step is to establish the Federation. Today’s meeting felt a bit too calm. There wasn’t a single dissenting voice. Normally, at least someone would bring up some objections. Not everyone is afraid of the Eight-Armed Demon God King, right? Tomorrow, the formal announcement of the Federation’s establishment will be made, and I’m somewhat worried that other races might secretly collude to do something against us.”
Zhong Zhichang nodded and said, “Very well. There will always be some who can’t accept the situation. But that’s just their struggle in vain. What are your thoughts on the future development of the Federation? For example, what role do you envision playing in all this, as one of the rising talents of our Dragon Clan’s younger generation?”
Lan Xuanyu shook his head and said, “I don’t have many thoughts on that. I just want to focus on improving myself. My current strength is still too weak. Elevating my power is the most important thing.”
Zhong Zhichang finally revealed a satisfied smile. “Good, that’s exactly right. For others, participating in governance might be meaningful. But for you, nothing is more important than enhancing your own abilities. Your bloodline is the pinnacle among our Dragon Clan. From today’s battle, it was evident you could channel the Power of Thunder, which underscores your bloodline’s superiority. Your potential for future development is immense. We’re all eager to see the heights you can reach when you become a true Dragon Knight.”
“In fact, if we had wanted to form the Dragon Horse Federation, we could have done so many years ago. There was, realistically, no one who could stop us. The reason we didn’t proceed back then was because both we and the Sky Horse Clan didn’t see the necessity. What good does forming a Federation bring? It would just involve us expending even more effort. If it weren’t for the ever-growing threat posed by the Douluo Federation, we still wouldn’t take this path seriously. When individual power reaches the Super God Level, you will come to understand that all of technology is insignificant. It’s something even an individual can contend with. Before a true God, all technology is just minor trickery. It’s just that none of us have yet achieved the status of a true God.”
“Given your exceptional talent, your ultimate pursuit should be to become a true God, not distractions with other trivial pursuits that will divide your focus. Now, tell me, what brings you here today?”
Lan Xuanyu replied, “Before today’s gathering began, Li Menglong approached me. I thought I should report this to you.”
Zhong Zhichang smiled faintly and asked, “What did he want from you? Did he ask you to deliberately lose to him during the tournament, so you could stay with the Sky Horse Clan?”
Lan Xuanyu feigned a surprised expression and said, “You already know? He even said his father’s barrier in that room would make it impossible for you to detect what was going on.”
Zhong Zhichang shook his head. “He wasn’t lying to you. Indeed, I couldn’t detect it, but I could guess. But I assume someone as brilliant as you wouldn’t make the wrong choice.”
Lan Xuanyu nodded decisively and said, “He told me his father is the Sky Horse Sect Leader and said that if I joined the Sky Horse Clan or married him, they’d gift me a super divine weapon. He also made some enticing promises, saying the two of us could rule the Sky Horse Clan together in the future. I declined.”
The matter of the super divine weapon was something he definitely needed to mention, if only to make the Dragon Clan aware of how generously the Sky Horse Clan was willing to invest.
Sure enough, when Zhong Zhichang heard the words “super divine weapon,” a subtle change flashed through his eyes. After all, even with the Dragon Horse Galaxy’s abundant resources and wealth, possessing a super divine weapon wasn’t something easy. Not even he, as the Second Seat, owned a super divine weapon. For the Sky Horse Clan to offer such a promise to Lan, it revealed just how much they valued “her.” With Zhong Zhichang’s sharp insight, he immediately understood the Sky Horse Clan’s intentions.
This was an attempt to steal our Dragon Clan’s bloodline! The Sky Horse Clan is truly unwilling to remain dormant.
“Why did you refuse, though? Let me be frank—you should know, even I don’t possess a super divine weapon.” Zhong Zhichang smiled as he looked at Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu shook his head and said, “I am of the Dragon Clan! How could I freely establish marital ties with a different species? My entire proposal for the martial tournament was originally just about obtaining Heaven-Raising Crystal Stones. Other clans are eager to secure our Dragon bloodline, so they naturally take the bait and bring forth the Heaven-Raising Crystal Stones to challenge me. No matter how tempting the Sky Horse Clan’s offer, they are not of my kind. The single greatest issue is the difference in bloodlines. We Dragon Clan hold our bloodline in the highest regard—how could I possibly marry into an inferior-bloodline species?”
His expression as he spoke was completely natural, as if recounting something trivial. This way of thinking was quintessentially Dragon Clan, which had always looked down on the bloodlines of other species, believing their own bloodline to be supremely noble. This belief was the reason why such stark hierarchies existed on Sky Dragon Planet.
Hearing “her” words, Zhong Zhichang nodded in satisfaction and said, “The Sky Horse Clan’s bloodline may be decent, but compared to ours, there is still a noticeable gap. Otherwise, after the Dragon Mutation, the Sky Horse Clan wouldn’t have been driven over to the Sky Horse Planet. However, don’t say such things in front of the Sect Leader—after all, the Sect Leader himself evolved from the Sky Horse Clan. Yet, precisely because of that, I believe he is unable to make a breakthrough to a higher level. Of course, you don’t need to concern yourself with such matters. Just stay true to your principles. You handled this matter very well, and you’ve reaped significant rewards. I doubt they will challenge you again tomorrow. Stay at Sky Horse Manor and don’t wander around. Once the exchange conference ends, leave with us. This gathering has a monumental purpose, but it will inevitably affect the interests of many. As you suggested earlier, there may indeed be unforeseen disruptions tomorrow. But don’t worry, we’ve prepared for this. Just focus on being yourself.”
“Yes, thank you for your guidance, Second Seat. I won’t disturb your rest any longer.” Lan Xuanyu took the opportunity to make his farewell. His intention in meeting Zhong Zhichang was to report Li Menglong’s attempted enticements, primarily to emphasize his own value to the Dragon Clan.
Zhong Zhichang smiled and said, “You’ve managed to suppress your cultivation with great skill. If I’m not mistaken, you’re using the destructive intent of the Eight-Armed Demon Clan to suppress your cultivation?”
Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, “Yes. I discovered that the destructive energy and the life energy contained within the Heaven-Raising Crystal Stones have a kind of mutual restraint yet complementary relationship. Within them lie some peculiar laws. By reflecting on these forces, my cultivation can be stabilized without risking an unstable breakthrough.”
An intrigued light flickered in Zhong Zhichang’s eyes. “You truly have exceptional comprehension ability. I’ve noticed your approach, and it’s quite impressive. However, let me remind you: whether it’s the destructive energy from the Divine Demon Core or the life energy from the Heaven-Raising Crystal Stones, you must use them with caution. The most critical reason is that neither of them is pure. Impurity means contamination, and both of these energies originate from the Cosmic Origin. If you’re assimilated by them, you’ll suffer irreparable harm and never advance again. Do you understand?”
Hearing this, Lan Xuanyu’s expression turned serious, and he quickly asked, “Second Seat, where can one find pure creation and destructive power?”
Zhong Zhichang gave a wry smile and said, “That’s a difficult question. At least none of us have ever encountered it. But based on our speculations, even singular forces of pure creation or destruction likely belong to entities at a level far superior to ours, let alone both forces together. For now, your body’s endurance appears to be quite strong, so controlled use of these energies will benefit you. It’s particularly helpful for comprehending the laws of Heaven and Earth, which will greatly enhance your strength after you break through to the God Rank. Nonetheless, I must reiterate: do not overdo it. Pay close attention to the impurities. After experiencing these energies for a while, you must purge any residual impurities completely. Do not leave a trace.”
