It's possible to practice magic this way, right?

Li Xuanming took Lin Li to another room.

"That dragon shouldn't have been told to you by Dongfang Jing, right? The tattoos on her body aren't as detailed as the ones on your equipment."

Lin Li was stunned for a moment, then he said: "How much do your three major families know about this dragon? I know this dragon as well as you do, even more than you do."

Li Xuanming was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Lin Li deeply before asking, "Then tell me what you think?"

"It is a nation's totem, a symbol, a spirit, and a belief."

Li Xuanming waited for a while and saw that Lin Li didn't say anything else, so he asked in confusion: "And then?"

"And then? That's all. What else do you want?"

"Fuck, you bastard, you said you knew more than us? What did you know? Four fucking words?"

“Aren’t these 4 words enough?”

Lin Li looked at Li Xuanming, and suddenly he thought of something?

He asked tentatively: "You don't know why it is a totem? What does it symbolize? What kind of spirit is it?"

Li Xuanming did not answer Lin Li's question, but asked again: "Who are you? Where are you from? How did you get here?"

"Me? Linli Lei, Val's son. Bring me here from Sco, the Western Continent."

"Huh, you know that's not what I want to ask." Li Xuanming looked at Lin Li with a deep gaze, and even his voice became serious.

"You are not from this world, right?"

Lin Li said: "No, I am from this world. I was born in this world and grew up in this world. I am a real local."

"It's you, on the contrary. Your ancestors shouldn't be from this world, right?"

Li Xuanming said: "It doesn't matter whether it has been a long time ago or not. The history of our three families in this world can be traced back to more than 3 years ago."

“Even if our ancestors were not from this world, we are now from this world.”

"Now I just want to know what this dragon represents?"

"Do you really know nothing?"

Li Xuanming sighed and said, "We only know that our ancestors were not from this world. They claimed to be descendants of the dragon and told us not to forget our identity. But we don't know what this dragon is."

"More than 3000 years is too long, and most things are lost in the river of time."

"When we unified the East Continent and established the Yunyi Empire, we only kept our surnames and some living habits, as well as the dragon pattern tattooed on the bodies of every generation, and the saying that we are descendants of the dragon that has been passed down from generation to generation."

"Even that ancestral precept was not something we kept. After we established the empire, we traced our family history back and finally found the birthplace of our ancestors. We accidentally dug it out of the ground when we were rebuilding our ancestral land."

"To be honest, there are many unreasonable rules in this group training. I'm sure you've heard of some of them. For example, the selection of the head of the family. There are also the rules for the emperor's successor, which is also the rule for selecting the three heads of the family recorded in the group training.

When Lin Li heard this, he sighed first, and then said: "Then let me briefly explain it to you."

……

Lin Li recounted the legendary story about the birth of the dragon totem.

"Because the great unification of the tribal era was completed, the dragon that was born by absorbing other totems represents the inclusiveness of this tribe. No matter which tribe people originally came from, they can find the shadow of their original totem in the dragon. So the dragon became the totem of all nations."

"On the other hand, as long as we accept the totem of the dragon, we are all members of the same nation."

"No matter who becomes the ruler of the world in the future, even if dynasties change or political power splits, the dragon will still be everyone's totem."

"The dragon symbolizes the civilization that this nation has created over a long period of time."

"The spirit of the dragon is the cultural concept developed by this civilization."

"Saying that you are a descendant of the dragon is a recognition of your own ethnicity and the civilization that your ethnicity has created."

"Anyone of this ethnic group has a deep sense of honor when they say they are descendants of the dragon. This is also a kind of affirmation of their self-identity."

"So the dragon god is the belief of every person in this nation."

"Even now, I still consider myself a descendant of the dragon. Because I identify with its civilization and continue its culture. It is still my belief."

"Your ancestors should have had the same idea as me when they came to this world."

Li Xuanming was silent for a long time before asking, "What kind of civilization and culture is that?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not good enough to describe it accurately with words. And the world I live in is not necessarily the world your ancestors lived in."

“Even if it’s the same world, if the time span is too long, then cultural concepts will be very different.”

"But you can think about the living habits you have preserved until now. Look for concepts that are different from other places in this world. You should be able to find some traces of that civilization."

In fact, you don’t have to care about what kind of civilization it is now. Just be yourself now.

Li Xuanming thought for a while, then smiled slightly, as if he had solved some of his confusion, and said to himself: "So that's it."

"It seems that no matter whether it is the world where my ancestors lived or your previous life, the nation that possessed this dragon totem was a great civilization."

Li Xuanming asked Lin Li again: "How did you come to this world?"

"I don't know. I was sick when I was a child, and then my memories of my past life were awakened. The last memory of my past life was just sleeping."

Li Xuanming asked: "So, your technique is actually what you practiced in your previous life?"

"No, I just borrowed some knowledge from my previous life. In fact, in my previous world, there was no cultivation method at all. At most, there were only moves to strengthen the body. The most powerful person would not be able to defeat the mid-level warriors in this world."

"But you must not underestimate that world. The technology in that world is very advanced. You can think of it as a very powerful magic device. It can destroy its own world."

"A magic device that can be used by an intermediate warrior can actually destroy the world it lives in?"

"Don't be so surprised. After all, the two worlds are developing in completely different directions, and the laws of the worlds are completely different. Don't use your experience here to understand the world over there."
