Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1010 The Seven Luminaries Manifest (33)

"Uh……"

One sentence left Jin Yanhua, who was used to seeing all kinds of storms, speechless.

An Jing realized that her question might have been a bit too sharp, so she coughed and said, "Ahem, I'm not being sarcastic, I just feel... you know, the dragon has nine sons, and those nine sons have nine more sons, life goes on and on, and all things have dragon blood..."

"And people... are not much different."

"Perhaps dragons had a relationship with those ancestral divine beasts, and humans also have a relationship with dragons, so all living beings in the world are essentially hybrids... Is this possible?"

"Yes, that's right... but..." Jin Yanhua was sweating a little, and subconsciously glanced at Su Xinbai next to him, his eyes revealing a hint of embarrassment and a desire for confirmation.

This glance caused the innocent female knight, caught in the crossfire, to furrow her brow and immediately feel offended. She lowered her voice and quickly muttered, "Why are you looking at me? I'm not a real dragonman. I'm a new dragonman who was born from the bloodline of Lord Jin Qixu. My ancestors were pure-blooded humans..."

"Cough cough."

Jin Yanhua coughed lightly, looked away, and shook his head somewhat awkwardly, giving up on delving deeper into the matter: "...I don't know. I can only say that the reproductive desires of humans and dragons are truly bizarre."

"Perhaps this is some peculiar commonality between the 'Chief of All Spirits' and the 'King of True Spirits'."

She waved her hand, giving me a 'don't ask me, I don't know either' look: 'I don't understand them or their sexual fetishes! Anyway, I can only tell you what I know.'

After muttering to herself, Su Xinbai quickly came to her senses. She organized her thoughts and continued Jin Yanhua's topic in a more serious tone: "General Jin is right. But to understand all this, we need to start from the very beginning."

"For example, when the Great Immortal Huaixu brought the 'Twelve Cities and Five Towers' from beyond the heavens to establish the Huaixu Realm, what he brought was the 'Tao' and 'Principle,' the seeds of 'civilization' and 'order.' It's impossible that he brought all the magical birds and beasts in the world with him, right?"

"The dragon race existed as early as the time of the Dao Court. The original dragon race in Huaixu was actually the [transformation of the Great Dao]."

"The Great Dao brought by the Great Immortal Huaixu naturally contains the incredibly powerful concept of 'dragon.' This concept itself possesses the power of self-realization. Therefore, when the spiritual energy of Huaixu Realm is abundant, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will automatically converge and, in a way called the [Dao-imitating Transformation Method], give birth to the form of the 'dragon'—this is what is called 'transformation'."

At this point, Su Xinbai laughed: "Even the human race is the same. Many of the earliest ancestors of the Huaixu human race were also born directly from the Great Dao, and they were born with some dragon and snake-like phenomena. Because from the essence of the Great Dao, the concept of 'human' and the concept of 'dragon' were almost equivalent in the initial framework."

"It is precisely because of this that the method of emulating the Dao and transforming into form can easily switch between humans and dragons. However, the concept of the dragon has more connections with other true spirits, so the dragon can give birth to more forms of true spirits, while the concept of the human is relatively pure."

"Is that so?" An Jing finally understood completely this time.

In the Daoist era, the Daoist principles of creation were used to sow the seeds of life in a new world, allowing powerful concepts to self-realize and give rise to all things. This was probably the supreme method used in that glorious era to migrate and spread its own path.

—Interesting. So back then, the Huai Xu Realm really did have a large number of native inhabitants and ancestral divine beasts, who were created by the system's Great Dao, just like NPCs in a game.

From this perspective, the transformed true spirits aren't so special after all: they're just special individuals directly refreshed by the Heavenly Dao.

Just like a divine command.

Transformation brings divine destiny, and divine destiny bestows supernatural powers. No wonder the Heavenly Dao of ordinary worlds does not contain divine destiny, because the Heavenly Dao of small worlds itself does not contain so many powerful concepts that are capable of self-realization and the creation of all things.

Moreover, this transformation technique is essentially similar to a supernatural physical body.

"I have actually mastered the transformation technique."

An Jing carefully sensed his newly formed [Daoist Body] and suddenly realized something: "My body is the culmination of the Transformation Technique. It is human form, mainly because I feel that I am human." "If I wanted, I could transform my Divine Treasure True Person's Divine Body into a dragon right now."

In an instant, the Taibai battle armor wrapped around An Jing emitted a slight hum, and the armor plates surged layer by layer, as if they were about to unfold and transform into the body of a divine dragon.

“Interesting.” An Jing was quite satisfied with this, and a smile appeared on his lips: “I have another trump card.”

at the same time.

During the short period of time that An Jing killed the first Seven Luminaries Ancestral Spirit and exchanged information with his companions.

The entire Zhaolin Realm underwent a dramatic upheaval because of his actions.

Beyond the desert, the once peaceful Zhaolin Realm Grotto-Heaven suddenly trembled.

First, in the center of that vast and insurmountable Haomiao Lake, the earth around the 'Ancestral Mountain' shrouded in endless mist and spatial-temporal turbulence began to rise violently!

A clear road, formed by solid earth, stretches straight from the lake shore toward Zushan Mountain, as if drawn by an invisible giant hand!

Immediately afterwards, the vast lake, which had been like a mirror, where anyone who approached it would be bounced back by the power of spacetime reversal, began to surge violently.

In the lake, islands of varying sizes, shrouded in ethereal mist, emerged from the water. Between the islands, between the islands and the shore, and between the islands and the main road leading to the ancestral mountain, magnificent rainbow bridges spanned the void, appearing out of thin air.

Countless talented individuals had attempted to cross this vast lake before, but without exception, they all failed.

Upon approaching, one will be rejected by the powerful repulsive force of the Radiant Scale Realm, causing time and space to reverse and regress. Even worse, one will completely lose oneself, one's soul will be obliterated, and one's physical body will be turned into nourishment and 'eaten' by the Radiant Scale Realm.

Since then, everyone has been walking around Haomiao Lake.

But now, everything has changed.

The road to Zushan has been opened!

And this is just the beginning!
Just after An Jing killed the Earth Ancestral Spirit, six other long-dormant yet equally powerful and suffocating auras of ancestral spirits suddenly shone brightly from all directions of the Zhaolin Realm and soared into the sky.

They no longer hid in secret realms as before, but instead revealed their existence and power to the entire world without reservation!

In the east, the essence of green wood transforms into towering trees.

In the West, the Qi of Geng Metal condenses into a steel bird in the wind.

In the south, the fire element rises and transforms into a crimson-scaled fiery dragon.

In the north, the Qi of Gui water sinks to form the Black Tortoise.

Above the sky, the sun and moon shone brightly, and then began to rotate in the sky above the Zhaolin Realm, just like the real sunrise and sunset.

All seven luminaries are now clearly visible!
