Chapter 172: The Dragon Clan of Tianhe
This is the "ocean" of clouds and mist. Dust permeates this environment with only weak gravity, neither falling nor moving away.
The "sea" formed by this dust and gas is not deep, only tens of thousands of feet. However, it was too wide—wide enough for the entire Divine Soil to roll around on it. If you are on the surface of the sea, the eyesight of ordinary beings cannot even touch the edge of the sea. There is also no horizon here, and at the end of the "ocean" is the starry sky.
This is Jupiter, which the dragons call "Tianhe".
The sunlight slanted across the "sea", revealing the "waves" of heavy shadows. This place is far from the sun, which is originally farther from the sun than Shenzhou. Coupled with the fact that the glowing atmosphere of the Sun is difficult to detect with the naked eye at this distance, the Sun looks more like a flying star, a flying star many times brighter than a first-magnitude bright star.
However, this thin sunlight can still support the activities of living beings.
In the "Heavenly River", there are dragons swimming.
They are many times larger than their young people in Shenzhou. After all, I don't know how to worry about crowding out the living space of other species, and I can swallow the material to my heart's content. Those dragons happily devoured the cosmic dust, filtering out the useful power in it. Some dragons who have the right way to transform can even obtain the spirit essence [chloroplast] of plants and trees by devouring plants and trees, and obtain the ability of plants and trees to draw power directly from the sun.
That's a great ability.
In Earth's terms, chloroplasts, like mitochondria, have genetic information and the parts of the nucleus that control biological traits - mitochondria and chloroplasts can even be seen as symbiotes in other higher organisms.
The method of transformation changes the expression of the bloodline spirit rhino, but the body of the dragon itself does not have the possibility of producing "chloroplasts". They're going against the odds by making their cells receptive to chloroplasts. The dragons that can do it basically have the immortal fruit position.
Therefore, among the Tianhe Dragon Army, the dragons with green scale armor have a high status. They lazily spread several pairs of green wings, swimming freely in the heavenly river, occasionally devouring a few mouthfuls of star ring dust. When all the dragons saw them, they had to take a detour.
In the midst of this heavenly river, there is a dragon that is particularly strange.
His upper body has taken on a very similar image to that of a Terran, and the lower body itself remains in the form of a dragon, with a pair of wings attached to his back.
For the high-level dragons who have mastered the method of transformation, it is not strange to want to make their bodies look like anything, but the human race is only a young race that has just been born for 80,000 years, except for the dragon race that still lives in the homeland and wants to experience the young civilization that is growing, no other dragon race will show a human form.
For dragons, the dragon's original form is the most comfortable.
A turquoise dragon flew over, and then its body shrank rapidly. It's also an application of space-time. The powerful dragon clan relies on this method to achieve their own wishes.
Nijo gently hugged the strange human dragon clan with the middle half of his body: "Kid, what are you thinking?"
"Mother. The young dragon used his spiritual sense to speak: "I'm looking at my hometown." ”
"You can't see anything with your eyes now, didn't I teach you how to build strong vision?"
The young dragon shook his head and smiled, "Sometimes, I just like to look at the stars with my father's eyes—even though they are fragile and easily injured. ”
He was actually half Terran.
This is not surprising, though. The dragon's transformation supernatural power itself can change the expression of the bloodline, eliminating reproductive isolation.
Even if a dragon female conceives a fetus in the body of a mammal, she can adjust the blood expression of the fetus and expel it in the form of a dragon egg, so that he can come into the world in the form of a pure dragon.
Of course, it is also possible to conceive a child in the form of viviparity.
At the point of the dragon clan, there is no need to pay attention to the so-called "pure bloodline".
The young dragon said, "Eighty thousand years ago, we still had the time when our father looked up at the starry sky together...... I really miss it. It's a pity that my father's clan didn't have their own immortal Dao fruit, and the Demon Emperor led the entire father's cultivation path astray, and my father had to die that year. I really don't know when my father's clan will be able to share this 'Great Sun Territory' like my clan. ”
"Soon. The green dragon patted his child lovingly with his tail: "Soon, soon...... Your father's clan is an innate enlightened race, and the Holy Emperor will not give up such a race. After the Divine Prefecture withers once and all the cultivation methods brought by the Demon Emperor are forgotten, the Holy Emperor will take action to reshape the Divine Prefecture and guide them on their own path. ”
The Renewal Demon Clan, the Initial Demon Clan, and the Cambrian Demon Clan before the Dragon Clan are all not congenital enlightened species, they are all "Demon Civilization". The only races that Shenzhou really determined were the dragon race and the human race.
"The species of the innate enlightened spirit is progressing very quickly. Maybe in the next 100,000 years, or 500,000 years, your father's family will come to us. The green dragon said in a childish tone.
On the horizon, a star suddenly lit up.
The young dragon was pleasantly surprised: "Ah, this is the end of the great day, which is not very common in normal times, and I have to make a wish......
"No, I'm afraid not. The female dragon's voice became serious: "...... in that direction"
――That direction is the homeland!
She changed her form. I saw that her body gradually became larger, and some parts gradually became transparent. A huge lens takes shape inside her and then adjusts constantly. In just a few breaths, the green dragon turned into a giant eyeball—if placed in Shenzhou, it could even rival the mountains. Giant eyeballs collect a wider range of light to observe what is happening in distant places.
Then, there was a shock to the eyeballs.
――That's the ...... Heaven and Earth Ascending Dragon Road!
The female dragon turned into a green light and rose from the ground, and she only had time to say to her son: "You just stay in Tai Sui Tianhe!"
With a word, she has escaped thousands of miles away. In the void, there was a faint fluctuation of the special essence - this is a kind of dragon chant that can be transmitted in a universe without atmosphere. Soon, twelve dragons gathered. This is the current head of the Tianhe Dragon Army, the best of the people who have not yet fallen asleep.
I don't know where the rebellion came from, but that traitor must die!"
"But that's the homeland. The Holy Emperor has decreed that the homeland is now under the domination of the human race, and we should not set foot in it!"
"It is the shadow side of the moon, a place that cannot be seen in the homeland. The human race can only be touched by Mahayana, so don't be afraid!"
At this time, the female dragon just now suddenly roared: "Why do you still have to argue? Now we are far from our homeland 'five remote meters' [five astronomical units, about forty-one light minutes], and now we see the scene is already the 'five lights' [one of the dragon time units, which refers to the time when the light travels through one astronomical unit, about eight minutes and sixteen seconds, and five lights is forty-one minutes]. ”
"However, now that the Terrans occupy the exit of the Dragon Dao, we can't attack the Terrans, this is not in line with the principles of the Holy Emperor!"
"The Holy Emperor is still asleep. Are you willing to disturb the Holy Emperor's sleep for the sake of a rebellion?" the mother dragon retorted fiercely: "The Holy Emperor has been operating for our clan for hundreds of millions of years, are you going to disturb the Holy Emperor just for this?"
"If you don't go through the Dragon Road, how can you enter Shenzhou?"
The mother dragon said proudly: "Fly over!"
"However, the distance of five distances, the limit speed I used to reverse the deep space path can be close to one percent of the 'Streamer to the Realm' [ten percent of the speed of light], plus the means of jumping out of the long river, I can reach the satellite of that homeland in four hours!"
"It's too chaotic! When the time comes, how much stamina do you have left to face the undead beasts?"
"That undead beast won't be too strong. Although he didn't know how he got the Heaven and Earth Ascension Dragon Dao, he abandoned the unshackled path created by the Holy Emperor. It will not be too strong to regain the ancient path!"
As she spoke, the she-dragon had already unfolded her body. Seven sarcomas appeared on her body. Bones are rapidly generated, and the scales are reversed and changed into feathers. Soon, she spread her seven wings. These seven wings are not symmetrically distributed, but scattered throughout the body. The female dragon only needs to shake its body in a special way, and these seven wings can move symmetrically around an axis.
This is the way dragons do it.
For dragons, the body can look whatever it wants. And flying in a near-vacuum universe does not require any aerodynamics to be considered. These seven wings are used to cast spells, and they are also protective equipment to protect the core of the body, and each feather has a small magic seal. Around these seals, the space is slightly distorted, and the light is displaced.
During the flight, the trajectory of these wings will block the heart of the female dragon, the dantian and other vital points, and the enemy cannot directly attack those parts.
In the process of transformation, the green color under the scales of the female dragon gradually faded, revealing a noble purple color. This is a sign of her noble lineage. Chloroplasts are only exercises used to make one's body and mind comfortable when they are peaceful, and they are a tool to show their strength, but they are still not needed when they are fighting.
She said, "No matter what, I'll send back the news." You use this time to adjust yourself slowly and move towards your homeland in your usual way. ”
The dark green dragon led by him bowed his head slightly: "The battle will be won." ”
The female dragon bowed her head lightly and saluted: "The battle will be won." ”
A white spiral of light left the heavenly river. In an instant, it escaped the dragons' line of sight. The sub-light speed of the escape makes the Doppler phenomenon visible to the naked eye, and the entire color spectrum becomes red.
After saluting, the dragon at the head said, "Okay, we should be ready too." After all, this is the first undead beast to appear in the last 700,000 years of my race, and no one knows how strong it is. Lan Xi may also fail, so prepare for battle. ”
"Hope...... He's just another prisoner above the Forbidden God. (To be continued.) )
