Chapter 44: The Mystery of the Four Divine Beasts
The old voice said helplessly: "You, the junior, are going to dig up the roots of the ancestors, and I haven't spoken yet, do I have to let you destroy the ancestors?"
"Old Ancestor?" Cheng Ruan smiled, "If you are really a loving Old Ancestor, how can you kill all the juniors who have not reached the Heaven Realm and entered here?"
"I ...... There is my trouble. m.β
"I also have my own difficulties, so you can't blame me for really doing something I shouldn't have done when the time comes. β
As he spoke, the illusion in front of Cheng Ruan dissipated, and the deep and narrow cave disappeared for a moment, replaced by the oval-shaped vast cave that Cheng Ruan saw before he entered.
A bony dragon head poked out of the cold pool and was looking in the direction of Cheng Ruan.
β......β
The bone dragon head was silent for a long time, and nodded slightly, "I understand, you are very good, come here, I will give you the help you need." β
Cheng Ruan shook his head with a sneer, and sat cross-legged at the front of the cave again, looking at the bone dragon head across the entire cave, "Just give it here, I won't go over." β
The bone dragon head smiled bitterly, looked at the spell-breaking cone held in Cheng Ruan's hand, and said, "You want my inheritance, and you still have such a deep wariness of me, how can this be done?"
"You want my life, and you want me to let down my guard against you, how can this be done?" Cheng Ruan sneered: "In the end, whether to give it or not, don't let me go." β
"Okay, be patient. There's a reason why our Four Gods Inheritance is here. You just said that if I give you what you want, I will get what I want?"
Cheng Ruan snorted lightly, "You talk about it first, if it's suitable, I'll help you." The four gods have been in my druid clan for so long, and there have been strong people from generation to generation who have come out of it to support a piece of my northern tribe, and I don't mind helping you fulfill some of your wishes. β
The bone dragon nodded lightly and said slowly: "Speaking of which, this matter has nothing to do with the Giant Witch Clan. β
"Since you said that your fiancΓ© has the inheritance of the soul walker, then he should also know about the Great Witch?"
Hearing the question of the bone dragon, Cheng Ruan raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Yes, he not only knows about the Great Witch, but he has also seen three Great Witches with his own eyes, accepted the favor of two of them, and killed the other one." β
"What ???"
The bone dragon obviously didn't expect to hear such a response, and let out a loud roar, and a piece of the dragon's body bounced out of the cold pool, and the dragon's mouth was wide open, making people wonder if his dragon's jaw would suddenly fall.
Cheng Ruan subconsciously tightened the spell breaking cone in his hand, and nodded casually, "Yes, what's wrong?"
He ...... Who did he touch, and who did he kill?" the bone dragon asked hurriedly.
Cheng Ruan's eyes rolled, but he avoided answering, and asked rhetorically: "Do you know the Great Witch? That's the overlord of the ancient earth, don't tell me, your bone dragon is the same age as the people." β
"You...... Who the hell did he kill, and what other great witch is alive?"
"Answer me first, and I'll tell you. Cheng Ruan gently shook the spell-breaking cone in his hand, as if to remind the bone dragon of something.
The bone dragon took a few deep breaths before calming down the agitated mood, and slowly retracted its body into the cold pool, leaving only one head outside.
"Yes, the four of us know the Great Witch......
"I, and the three of them, Suzaku, we are all concrete divine beasts born from the depths of the exuberant qi veins of the ancient earth, unique, guarding the four poles of the ancient earth, suppressing luck, and ensuring the long-term prosperity of this world. β
Cheng Ruan listened, nodded lightly, and said, "Just like an elemental creature?"
The bone dragon pursed his lips, "It's much more advanced than elemental creatures, we are all genuine gods, if elemental creatures can't be transformed and achieve the bloodline of the primeval gods, they won't be able to cross the threshold of the peak of the Holy Realm." β
"But...... Well, it's pretty much the same. β
The bone dragon continued: "With the gradual rise and prosperity of the Wu Clan on the earth, our four divine beasts have also gained some mutual understanding with the Wu Clan. Later, there were more and more strong people in the Wu Clan, and there was some friendship between us and the four divine beasts, and there were even individual leaders who called us brothers and sisters and helped each other......
"Then the Wu Clan smashed the ancient earth, and your qi veins were cut off, so it became like this?" Cheng Ruan continued: "If your request is for me to destroy the entire Giant Witch Clan and avenge you, then I may be forgiven." β
The bone dragon shook his head and said, "Naturally not." Although the Great Witch did something that he shouldn't have done, he didn't blame them...... Their minds were corrupted and corrupted, and with them all life on the ancient earth except humans was transformed...... Although the final destruction was caused by the Great Witches, we four divine beasts never really blamed them. β
"What we are asking for is for the inheritors to reshape the broken veins of the earth after obtaining our power, so that the broken world can return to its original perfection. β
Cheng Ruan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "The Great Witches shattered the ancient earth, but they also reshaped the current earth, even if they were able to penetrate the heavens and the earth and sacrifice their lives, they could only do it to this extent." You want me to reverse their work and reshape the Earth to what it was like in ancient times? β
The bone dragon shook his head lightly and said, "It's not impossible. Although the Great Witches are strong, their understanding of the earth is not as good as that of our four divine beasts. As long as you reach the Divine Realm, you will have enough time to wait for the appearance of the remaining three Divine Beast Inheritors, and when you have four Divine Beasts in this world, you will be able to slowly nourish and revive the Qi veins of the earth and make up for the damaged parts. It's going to take a long time, but it's going to work!"
Cheng Ruan was silent and fell into a long period of thought.
After a long time, the bone dragon seemed to be a little impatient, and said, "This is our only expectation, if you can't promise us, just leave." It doesn't matter if you want to cut off our roots, or stop the rest of the druids from coming here......"
Cheng Ruan waved his hand, interrupted the bone dragon's words, glanced at the bone dragon strangely, and said after a long time: "I can promise you, but there is one condition." β
The bone dragon's voice suddenly became excited, "You say!"
From the destruction of the ancient earth to the present, countless years have passed, but the inheritance of the four gods has not even been able to cultivate a true god, Cheng Ruan in front of him is the most talented person that the bone dragon has ever seen, thousands of luck and luck, and the divine mind is hidden into the shape of a dragon, it is like a human dragon, if you can inherit the real green dragon inheritance, it is very possible to break through the divine realm and become a real god.
And once there is the Green Dragon, the next Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, and White Tiger will have guides, and Cheng Ruan's existence can also help the Four Divine Beasts choose their successors, and the speed is countless times faster than the original passive waiting!
Cheng Ruan said lightly: "After you are resurrected, you are not allowed to interfere with the normal operation and development of human society, you are not allowed to appear in front of humans, and you are not allowed to kill any human beings. β
The bone dragon shuddered violently and froze in place.
"You ......"
"How do I know you can be resurrected?" Cheng Ruan chuckled, and then said, "Because I have a brain." β
"This ...... We...... We won't ......."
The bone dragon smiled and spoke, but was interrupted by Cheng Ruan's direct wave of his hand.
"You won't hurt your successor? maybe, but by then, even if you're resurrected, you won't hurt me, so I'm not worried. β
The bone dragon looked at Cheng Ruan's confident and beautiful smile, and felt that if he wasn't a skeleton, he would probably be in a cold sweat now......
The girl in front of you...... It's so smart.
It's clearly just a small thing in the Heart Flame Realm, but with only a three-inch incorruptible tongue, he suppressed the remnants of his more ancient gods, and completely fell into the disadvantage, and could only be led by the nose.
"Good...... I promise your conditions. The duty of our four divine beasts is to protect, and of course they will not intentionally kill or injure humans. β
"Swear by your spirit. You, Qinglong, will not harm human beings in eternity, will not prevent the reproduction and development of the human race in any form, and will do your best to regulate the behavior of the other three divine beasts with the same standards. β
The bone dragon glanced at Cheng Ruan deeply and swore an oath meticulously.
Seeing that this bone dragon was not stealing, Cheng Ruan breathed a long sigh of relief, put away the spell breaking cone in his hand, stood up, and said, "Then I'll go." β
"Okay. β
With that, the bone dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a blue light, turning into a pontoon bridge in the air, leading to both ends of the cave.
Cheng Ruan had a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, and while stepping on the blue pontoon bridge, he asked, "If I just walked over, would I be dead?"
The bone dragon laughed dryly and didn't speak, but the answer couldn't be more obvious.
"I want your inheritance, let me become a true dragon and have the power of a green dragon. Cheng Ruan made no secret of his purpose and said bluntly.
"It needs to be in the realm of heaven. β
"Then give me the Heavenly Realm. β
"Okay, drink the water of this cold pool, it will condense your spiritual power and soul origin. At the last moment, I will enter your sea of consciousness and lay out the next illusion. The demons in your heart will be revealed, and if you kill them, you will be able to enter the heavens, and if you fail, you will die. You can't blame me for this, it's not that I hurt you, it's that you killed yourself......"
Cheng Ruan did not hesitate, reached out and fished out a handful of water from the cold pool, raised his head and drank it all.
The bone dragon promises not to harm humans, and she is human, too. And she has wasted too much time, she just wants to complete the process as soon as possible and go out to find Shen Yuan. She had a hunch that without herself by her side, Shen Yuan would sooner or later be in trouble, and even be threatened by his life.
After drinking the water of the cold pool, Cheng Ruan's sea of knowledge was blocked by the supernatural power in it, and his eyes were closed, and he fell asleep, and his consciousness sank into the deepest part of the sea of knowledge, entrenched like a small dragon.
