Chapter 1024 Dreams Know No Boundaries
Upon hearing this, the Dragon God's eyes darkened. "You have truly fallen, succumbing to power and authority, sinking deeper and deeper into nihilism."

As the god of dragons, He knows the relationship between the Omni-King and the High Priest, and also knows the true history and origin of this world.

Long before the eighteen universes appeared, and before special worlds such as the Demon Realm existed, there was already a group of beings.

At that time, there were dragons, angels, and some other strange races, but among these races, only dragons and angels were the most powerful.

As the first dragon god and the first angel, Salama and the high priest were actually friends.

In the days when there was nothing, they lived in harmony, but after creation, everything changed.

Angels and dragons began vying for control of the world, and various races began to take sides. They entered new universes to live, believing that the newly created worlds were more suitable for their happy lives. Thus, friction, or war, broke out over the ownership of the universe.

Because dragons and angels are the two most powerful races, and the dragon god has the merit of creating the world, many races are willing to follow the dragons.

Salama did not want this to happen, so he wanted to negotiate with the Angels to create a peaceful world, with the two powerful races maintaining order.

But the High Priest had already changed by then. He enjoyed the feeling of having power in his hands, the supreme power to decide the life and death of all things, and the supreme throne of God did not need two people.

The angel race possesses formidable combat abilities. They excel in both superpowers and magic, as well as the profound development and application of qi, making them the most outstanding among all living beings in terms of fighting prowess.

Comparatively speaking, the dragon race is much weaker. Apart from the dragon god Salama, who possesses great power and has developed the Super Dragon Balls, the other dragons are somewhat lazy and not very powerful.

In the early stages of the conflict, the angels had a clear advantage, but the dragon god Salama easily resurrected the dragons and those races who had died in battle while following the dragons using the dragon balls.

Zalama did these things not to replenish his troops and continue fighting, but simply to demonstrate the power of the Dragon Balls and to tell the world that fighting is a pointless act and that this foolish behavior should be stopped as soon as possible.

But the primordial angel didn't think so. He just felt that the power of the dragon god Salama was too terrifying, as he could resurrect living beings at will. If he couldn't solve this problem, he would never be able to become the only supreme being in the universe.

Therefore, in order to counter the power of the Dragon Balls, he gathered the power of the angels and created the ultimate weapon of war—that masterpiece was 'Zen-King'.

The power of the Omni-King to erase was originally created to counter the revival power of the Dragon Balls. In the earliest version, because the Dragon God Zalama had also established a system of reincarnation, people would enter the afterlife after death. At that time, the Dragon Balls could revive people simply by recalling them from the afterlife.

Therefore, the primordial angels believed that as long as humanity was completely wiped out and prevented from entering the afterlife, the war could be won.

Their plan did indeed succeed. The Omni-King's power of elimination can not only completely erase a living being, but also trace back to the source and erase everything related to it. In war, it only needs to be used on a universe to successfully erase all life in that universe, regardless of whether those life forms are in that universe or not.

This is like an absolute deterrent force; just one battle was enough to bring many races to the side of the Angels, because they did not want to be wiped out in that way.

Absolute force generates absolute power. Even though the Dragon God Zalama continued to improve the Super Dragon Balls afterward, hoping to revive the beings and universes that had been eliminated by Zeno, by the time he successfully realized this function of the Dragon Balls, all races had already turned to the Angel race.

Perhaps this is true of most living beings; they are more likely to bow to fear than to kindness.

In the end, the Dragon God Zalama was betrayed by the dragons he trusted. He was supposed to announce on that day that the Dragon Balls could restore the universe and that everyone should not be afraid.

But it was all too late. The blade of betrayal pierced his chest. The High Priest and the Omni-King appeared, ending the history of the Dragon God. The Dragon Clan did not receive the High Priest's mercy and were buried in the darkness of history afterward.

After so many years, Salama thought that the universe would be peacefully developing under the unification of the Angel race, since there were no longer two opposing major forces fighting each other. However, in fact, the peace on the surface of the universe was just an illusion.

The Grand Priest placed the representative of power on the throne of the Omni-King, but the Omni-King is merely a creation without a mature mind; how could he possibly manage the universe well?

On the surface, they are playing a game of cosmic house, but in reality, if Zeno is in a bad mood, he will destroy the universe.

Salama then understood that even without a war between opposing forces, a dictator who is an idiot can make life in the universe cheap.

"Power? Authority?"

Faced with the Dragon God's questioning, the High Priest met the gaze of those enormous, star-like eyes and said, "The so-called workings of the world are nothing but a game. The most important thing is to have fun. You're just taking it too seriously."

"There are many ways to be happy, but when you lose your humanity, you are destined to never be truly happy."

As the Dragon God spoke, his dragon body danced wildly, sweeping away the newly arrived Omni-King. The immense power of his dragon tail, combined with divine power, slapped Omni-King's face until it was somewhat deformed.

At the same time, both Omni-Kings activated their power of elimination, and the Dragon God's body instantly became illusory.

His enormous dragon body flickered between reality and illusion, a struggle between forces of elimination and creation.

This is why the Grand Priest didn't choose to kill the Dragon God Zalama completely back then. The Dragon God was the creator god of this world. The Dragon Balls he created could revive living beings and bring back lost universes. Of course, his power could also be applied to himself.

Normally, the Dragon God cannot be killed. While the Omni-King is eliminating the Dragon God, the Dragon God is also creating himself, so this is a difficult confrontation.

The Omni-King is immature and dislikes repetitive work. The Grand Priest cannot completely control the Omni-King and can only guide him gently. Therefore, it is unrealistic to expect the Omni-King to work diligently for hundreds or thousands of years to eliminate the Dragon God or something.

"Humanity? Salama, you are also a dragon god, so what makes you talk about humanity?"

The high priest spoke with a mocking tone. To be honest, he had initially done so, just as Salama had said, for the sake of supreme status. The fact that various races had aligned themselves with him and followed him had given him a taste of the pleasure of ruling over all races.

But once he actually stood at the top and lost Salama as his opponent, he no longer found it so interesting.

Even the sweetest power will become tiresome after countless hours.

Billions of years ago, when he had just acquired the 18 universes, he was very patient. He established the laws of the Angel race, perfected the system of the God race, and planned the system of Supreme Kai and Gods of Destruction, allowing them to manage the universe and develop cosmic civilization.

But when the Omni-King began his first destruction of the universe, the High Priest found his heart utterly still. From that moment, he knew that he had long since grown weary of the power of supreme gods and the like. It's always true that when people first develop a passion for something, they feel they'll never tire of it, but that's just a matter of time.

That's why the High Priest denied what the Dragon God had just said. He's actually no longer interested in power. If he had to say something, after all this time, the only thing he's certain of is the latter half of the Dragon God's comment: he's sinking deeper and deeper into nihilism.

Perhaps that's why, when a Supreme Kai informed him, he chose to ignore those people's actions and watch them release the Dragon God Zalama.

He felt that this might add some interesting twists and turns to this boring world.

"God should never be a being without humanity. On the contrary, the reason why all living beings worship me as a god is precisely because they respect my humanity."

The dragon god Salama's voice was deep and resonant, so that the entire universe could hear his words: "Gods who have abandoned humanity are nothing but pathetic creatures who call themselves gods."

"sad?"

The High Priest's voice turned somber. Even though he had lost interest in many things, dignity was still something he valued. "Who exactly has been imprisoned within the singularity of spacetime for billions of years? Who is more pathetic?"

The Dragon God Salama's body flickered between light and shadow, and his enormous eyes looked at the High Priest with pity. "I have endured the loneliness of countless years, yet I have not gone mad. What sustains me is the beauty of those memories. I created the Dragon Balls to fulfill the simple dreams of children, while you created the Omni-King for your filthy desires."

“To this day, I’m indifferent to many things. All sorts of grand theories circulate in the universe, and I’ve seen and heard all kinds of arguments. But… Salama, do you know? There is only one eternal and unchanging truth, and that is…”

The high priest smiled and stomped down, pinning the dragon god's proud head downwards. "...The victor is king."

This attack had been brewing for a long time, and the Dragon God was in a state of confrontation with two Omni-Kings, so he was unable to defend himself. His huge dragon head drooped, large areas of his bones broke, and a large amount of blood gushed out from his head.

"Perhaps, but victory does not equate to justice."

"The Dragon God said."

"Justice? Salama, how old are you? Still talking like a child. Honestly, I think the wishing ball you made is funny enough. Such great power, and you just want to reward so-called righteous children and fulfill their dreams?"

The high priest wore a smile, but his eyes were somewhat gloomy. He kept attacking the dragon god, beating the huge dragon to pieces, making it look extremely miserable.

"Look what they've done with your Dragon Balls! Back when you first created them, I saw children wishing for a jar of candy, people wishing for a big meal with their families on their birthdays, and people wishing for their lost dolls to come back to them..."

The high priest spoke faster and faster, just like his old self who couldn't hold back his words any longer. "What kind of pathetic wishes are these? Your great divine power is being used for such trivial things. Aren't you angry?"

"Why are you angry?"

The Dragon God countered, "Those are also children's dreams. Dreams are not divided into noble and lowly. You think those wishes are shabby because you no longer understand what happiness is. It's like giving you a wishing ball, but you don't know what to wish for."

For a moment, the high priest fell silent, as if he had been struck on a sore spot.

Yes, he himself wouldn't collect wishing orbs in the universe, not because the wishing orbs were created by the Dragon God, but because he simply couldn't think of any wishes to make.

"Rolls..."

The Dragon God looked at the High Priest with pity and called out the name the High Priest had used in his childhood before the creation of the world, "You have no dreams left."

"Shut up!"

The high priest's voice was filled with anger as he continued his attack on the dragon god.

The Dragon God endured his attacks, resisting the Omni-King's erasure while gazing into the distance, "I'm so sorry... I couldn't grant your wishes, and there won't be any more Dragon Balls in the future."

"Ha, Salama, it seems you know you won't live past today."

The High Priest sneered. He had failed to kill the Dragon God back then because the origin of the world was still stable at that time, without him and the Omni-King from a parallel world. But now it was different; the power of the two Omni-Kings was enough to destroy the Dragon God.

However, the Dragon God seemed not to hear the High Priest's words at this moment, and his voice spread to all parts of the twelve universes, "But, children, even without wishing balls, you can still pursue your dreams with your own hands."

At this moment, all living beings in the universe heard the Dragon God's words, and many people showed sad expressions on their faces.

Even though these people may have never heard of the Dragon Balls or Wishing Balls before, and did not know who the Dragon God was, they all felt extreme sadness at this moment.

Like the Father who created the world, who is about to disappear from this world.

At the same time, Lu Li, who was fighting in the first universe, also heard the Dragon God's words, which made him feel quite uneasy, because it sounded like he was saying his last words.

If the Dragon God dies, the Super Dragon Balls and all other Dragon Balls will become unusable!
"Snow Fox, make a wish using the Dragon Ball first!"

Lu Ran shouted, but he didn't know if it would make a difference if he said that, because the Dragon Ball was in the hands of the Snow Fox.

If Snow Fox doesn't want to wish for the resurrection of the beings in Universe 1 and their relocation to a safe location, then Lu Li can't do anything about it. Besides, wishes made with the Super Dragon Balls can generate many benefits, and as an explorer, the other party might not grant Lu Li's request.

After all, whether or not these universes are restored does not affect Lu Li's battle with the High Priest. Regardless of whether Snow Fox makes such a wish, Lu Li will still fight.

At this moment, Snow Fox, her dress fluttering in the wind at the edge of the universe, took out the Dragon Ball and summoned the Super Shenron.
