Chapter 2: Rebirth!
Finally, I don't know how much time, or seconds, or centuries has passed, Long Xingyu finally seemed to have a glimmer of light, as if grasping a life-saving straw, Long Xingyu tried hard to move the light cocoon he was in to that light. And the light cocoon, as if he could feel Long Xingyu's thoughts, moved towards the light, and his eyes were about to reach the light, but the light cocoon suddenly moved away from the light again as if it had lost control. And Long Xingyu's mood also changed from the original excitement to disappointment, and even despair.
Just when Long Xingyu was desperate for himself, from his soul, a dragon groan suddenly came out, and then the dragon soul that had disappeared before resurfaced, and the dragon soul rushed out of the light cocoon, instantly wrapped the entire light cocoon, and then rushed towards the place of light.
When Long Xingyu arrived at the approaching light, he suddenly felt sluggish, and at this moment, Long Xingyu only felt that the space he was in was distorted, and a dazzling light lit up, Long Xingyu's consciousness seemed to be stimulated, and he fell into a deep sleep in an instant.
Garland Continent, the 76th Chinese New Year's Eve of the Demon Martial Calendar. That night, a dragon roar sounded over the entire continent, and all the demonic beasts on the entire continent, no matter what class, seemed to be greatly frightened at this moment, and crawled on the ground for a long time. And that night, all the intelligent creatures on this continent were also shocked by the sound of the earth-shaking dragon. At the same time, the originally quiet and peaceful starry sky also had a meteor with a blue light falling into the night sky and disappearing to the east of the continent.
That night, in the palace of the Eastern Dragon Empire, with the sound of the dragon chant that resounded through the heavens and the earth, a ball of blue light fell into the queen's bedroom, and at this moment, the mother of the Eastern Dragon Empire was also on the verge of giving birth, and the blue light rushed into her stomach at the moment when she was about to give birth. Immediately, a child with a blue glow all over his body fell to the ground.
It's just that when the child who was wrapped in blue light was born, he didn't cry out loud, but was wrapped in a ball of blue light, slowly suspended in mid-air, just like the gods descended into the world, full of supreme majesty. A pair of eyes glowing with blue light slowly swept over the queen's dormitory and others, the strong oppressive aura directly suppressed everyone there, no one dared to make a sound, and everyone at this time had long been stunned by this scene. Even the queen opened her mouth in surprise and was speechless in surprise.
After scanning the circle, the eyes returned to normal, they were a pair of deep, pitch-black eyes, as bright as the stars in the night sky. Then, the blue light that wrapped the child slowly disappeared after sending the child to the queen's side, and the coercion that pressed on everyone before was gone. And the child slept quietly beside the queen.
Until this moment, those deep and majestic eyes continued to appear in everyone's minds, and at the same time, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
Long Xiaoyun, the emperor of the Eastern Dragon Empire, who was waiting outside, hurried into the queen's bedroom after feeling the terrifying coercion, and when he was sleeping with the child next to the queen, and the people around him looked at the child with a complicated look, he understood that everything before was actually caused by his own child.
Coming to the queen's side, Long Xiaoyun hurriedly sat down, stretched out his hand to support his queen, and at the same time looked at the child who was sleeping quietly with a puzzled look.
"Your Majesty, our child should be the star monarch of the sky, the prophecy has really happened, and now our Eastern Dragon Empire is saved. After the queen came back to her senses, she suddenly cried excitedly.
"Queen, what you said is true? Could it be that the oppressive coercion just now was emanated from our children?" Long Xiaoyun asked eagerly.
"Well, it's our children who sent it. The queen smiled and nodded.
"Okay! Okay!" Long Xiaoyun looked at the sleeping child with complicated eyes, and his heart was mixed for a while. I wanted to pick him up, but I didn't want to alarm him, so I could only support my queen and sit quietly on the bed.
Today's Eastern Dragon Empire has fallen into a very dangerous period, although it is still extremely powerful outside, but Long Xiaoyun knows that his country is actually declining, and the three empires in his west, south, and north are eyeing each other, and the main reason is that the old ancestor who has reached the peak of the twelfth level sword god has disappeared after the trip to the "Sea of Red Flames" more than ten years ago. You must know that it is precisely because of the existence of this ancestor known as the protector of the empire that the Eastern Dragon Empire can stand tall in the east of the Garland Continent, but now the disappearance of this protector of the empire has caused the empire to lose its biggest pillar, and now it is becoming weaker and weaker. Although there are still six sword gods and four law gods in the empire, they are hermits and will not participate in these worldly disputes.
Even if there are still twenty Sword Saints and sixteen Law Saints in the empire now, they can only barely protect themselves. If the three surrounding empires are united, although there is no sword god or law god in their empire's worship, but at the level of sword saint and law saint, it is nearly twice as much as their own side, and if they attack in a group, the Donglong Empire will definitely be invincible, even if they have millions of male soldiers in their hands, they can't compete with a few large forbidden spells thrown by those law saints.
However, these three empires are also often at war with each other, and if they really want to unite, they will inevitably be suspicious of each other, so there is no need to worry too much. What he was worried about were those forces from the west of the West Pole Mountains, to the west of the Galan continent. Those Western theocratic countries, sword gods and law gods are all in the hands of those big forces, and they have been coveting the vast land in the east of the Garland Continent, if it weren't for the West Pole Mountain Range is the world of Warcraft, maybe they would have attacked it a long time ago.
But what really made Long Xiaoyun feel helpless was the prophecy left by the ancestor who founded the empire since the beginning of the establishment of the Eastern Dragon Empire: the East China Sea is red, the dragon enters the abyss, the stars are moving, and demons appear frequently, the gods return to the West Pole, and disputes first appear, and disasters come out of the Heavenly Palace, and Zhou Ji is completely annihilated.
And with this prophecy remained, there is also a passage: "Within 3,000 years, the sword and the soldiers will appear, the shadow and the moon and the stars will move, and the disasters will be in chaos, the beacon smoke will rise, and the four directions will be destroyed, the clouds will rise in the western land, and the gods and demons will return, the heavenly pole will shift, and the moon will follow, and the disaster will cause the Xiao Wall, and the eastern dragon will be in danger." ”
In addition, there is also a bag that has also been passed down, according to his father, this bag contains words that can save the Donglong Empire from the crisis, and it must not be opened until it is absolutely necessary, otherwise Donglong will die. Later, when his father was just over sixty years old, he passed the throne to himself, the seventh prince, and he was only eighteen years old at that time. It's not that the old emperor doesn't want to pass on the throne to his three elder brothers, it's just that two of his three elder brothers died prematurely, and one was born an idiot. As for his own royal sisters, they are all smart and beautiful, but after all, the Donglong Empire is a patrilineal society, and it is impossible for the throne to be passed on to female members of the imperial family, fortunately, his father gave birth to him when he was forty-two years old, and he did not die or be stupid like his elder brothers, so at the age of eighteen, he inherited the throne.
After thinking about his reign for more than ten years, he can be said to be on the edge of the abyss and walking on thin ice, and he does not dare to neglect state affairs, but his throne is not stable. And this instability is not caused by my own mediocrity. In fact, in comparison, Long Xiaoyun can also be called the Emperor of Shangming and Renjun in the history of the Eastern Dragon Empire.
Think about the establishment of the Donglong Empire since now, it has been 3,000 years, and now the ancestors have lost their traces because of the trip to the "Sea of Red Flames", and five years later, the entire empire has frequent internal disasters, resulting in thousands of displaced people, no farmland, and many hungry people. It can be said that starvation is everywhere, the plague is rampant, and the entire Donglong Empire is already suffering from vitality. Fortunately, Long Xiaoyun is a generation of Ming monarchs, who ruled by Qing officials, transported the whole river, opened the national treasury, provided disaster relief, soldiers and fields, light conscription, and recuperation. In the following two years, the disaster was alleviated, but it also left the treasury extremely empty.
And after these things, Long Xiaoyun also recalled the legacy of his ancestors, how similar it is to the scene of this world, when he thinks of the prophecy, he always worries, whether to open the bag, but he is afraid, afraid that his rash behavior will lead to the destruction of Donglong. In desperation, he could only wait.
Finally, six years ago, his eldest son Long Tianyu was born. And it was also in that year that the Ice and Snow Empire in the north launched a war against the Eastern Dragon Empire, and after leaving hundreds of thousands of corpses on both sides, they had to sit down to negotiate peace, and at this time, the Western Regions Celestial Empire suddenly had millions of soldiers on the border, eyeing the Eastern Dragon Empire, which once made the development of the situation enter a critical situation, although they did not attack in the end, but it made Long Xiaoyun feel in crisis at all times.
But a year later, on the night when his concubine Li gave birth to her second prince Long Mingyu, the "shadow moon" in the sky was retrograde at that moment, which was a strange thing that had never happened in the entire history of the continent. And at that moment, I had seen a dark red light fall into the palace, just in time to enter the "Qiande Palace" where Concubine Li was in production. When he eagerly entered the palace, he found that there was a faint dark red light on the forehead of the second prince born to Concubine Li. And Concubine Li on the side also died of dystocia.
But even so, Long Xiaoyun did not attribute the blame to Long Mingyu, he still loved Long Mingyu, and Long Mingyu was also extremely smart, he showed his extraordinary intelligence since he was a child, and at the same time he had his extraordinary cultivation talent.
However, it was also during that period of time that countless disasters occurred in the empire, which made Long Xiaoyun completely focus on governing state affairs, and his own cultivation had only reached the level of a seventh-level high-level swordsman.
Later, one day, the national teacher who lived in seclusion in the "Heavenly Star Palace" suddenly came to the palace and found him, saying that his Donglong Empire was in danger, and he hoped that he could open his bag and quickly seek a solution.
At that time, after listening to the advice of the national teacher, Long Xiaoyun was afraid that he would open the bag too early and cause the empire to fall into overturn, so he did not agree, but later, the national teacher revealed the secret of thousands of years ago to himself.
It turned out that when his ancestor Donglong the Great established the empire, he was accompanied by a master, who was not only powerful, but also proficient in divination. When the Donglong Empire was established, the Donglong Emperor named the master as the great teacher to protect the country, received the gift of the emperor, and rewarded a fief. However, the great master did not accept the fief, but asked the Donglong Emperor for a place to build a palace, and named it "Tianxing Palace", and since then, he has been silently cultivating there.
More than ten years have passed like this, and the Donglong Emperor at that time was already over eighty years old, but because of his high strength, he was still like a middle-aged man, so he did not decide to inherit the throne. Until one day, the national teacher who was cultivating in the "Heavenly Star Palace" suddenly came and had a long talk with the Eastern Dragon Emperor, and soon after, the Eastern Dragon Emperor passed down the throne and left the prophecy. At the same time, there is also a precept that each emperor should not reign for more than forty years. And gave the "Heavenly Star Palace" successive national teachers a great power, that is, he could depose the emperor who could depose the faint monarch and betray his own instructions, and at the same time, the Eastern Dragon Emperor also left a golden whip to the "Heavenly Star Palace", which could directly break the golden whip of the emperor's dragon qi. After that, the Eastern Dragon Emperor disappeared.
Later emperors have not forgotten the ancestral teachings, and of course they did not dare to abolish this ancestral teachings. Just kidding, the strength of the previous national teachers is unfathomable, plus every national teacher is an emperor, and he has a golden whip in his hand, so the previous emperors did not dare to make too many mistakes. Fortunately, the successive national teachers of the "Heavenly Star Palace" have never coveted the throne of the Eastern Dragon Empire because of this right, but they are all keen on the way of cultivation, which also makes the empire enjoy peace.
Long Xiaoyun only learned about that secret at that time, only to understand that one of the main reasons why the Eastern Dragon Emperor stayed was because of that prophecy, which was the first palace master of the "Heavenly Star Palace", the national teacher Dao Xuan Zhenren, and what he left behind was naturally a prophecy for future generations. At the same time, Dao Xuan Zhenren also left a bag for the Eastern Dragon Emperor to pass on to his descendants, and it can only be opened when it is most critical. And Dao Xuan Zhenren then left instructions in the "Heavenly Star Palace", asking the national teachers of later generations to go to the emperor at that time after observing the retrograde movement of the shadow moon, and asked him to open the bag, and there was a instruction left behind.
After knowing these secrets, Long Xiaoyun immediately invited out the bag and opened it, but what was left in the bag was not a solution to the crisis, but only a profound text.
"The dragon roars and shakes the sky, the stars fall, the gods and demons are in trouble, and the luck is destroyed; the emperor should be abolished, and the people are the sky; the star monarch enters the world, and the way of heaven appears. ”
After this text, Long Xiaoyun only knew half of it at the time, but the national teacher on the side seemed to have an understanding, and then the national teacher just said to Long Xiaoyun, who was the emperor: "When the Eastern Dragon is in danger, there will be a star monarch in the sky to enter the world, although there will be trouble, but the Eastern Dragon Empire will definitely be able to turn the crisis into safety." Your Majesty does not need to worry, as long as you answer this admonition, the danger of Donglong will be solved. After finishing speaking, the national teacher let out a long laugh and turned to leave, leaving only a confused Long Xiaoyun standing there.
Regarding the national teacher's statement that the Heavenly Star Monarch entered the world, there is any other word that can solve the crisis, but Long Xiaoyun is extremely puzzled, one is that he has never heard anything about the Star Monarch, and the other is that he does not believe that what his ancestors left is just such a so-called text. But he had to accept the explanation of the national teacher, and he was just working state affairs. However, after the situation of the Eastern Dragon Empire became more and more critical, the queen couldn't bear Long Xiaoyun to work so hard, so she wanted to share one or two, and it was then that Long Xiaoyun told the queen about it.
It wasn't until tonight, when his queen was about to give birth, that a heaven-shaking dragon groan suddenly came out, and when he felt the majesty coming from the queen's bedroom, Long Xiaoyun suddenly sounded the words left in the bag, and for a while, all kinds of flavors were mixed. But more than that, it's a sense of relief.
