I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 606 The Ancient Divine Dragon of China Was Actually an Old Acquaintance

The road paved with dragon jade has come to an end.

The fog dissipated, and the view suddenly opened up.

Inside the palace, the second building came into view.

This is a huge circular platform, about 100 meters in diameter and about 5 meters high, and the whole thing is also made of dragon jade.

Moreover, the dragon jade used to pave the circular platform was clearly of higher quality, with each piece measuring approximately one meter in length and width, and containing even more astonishing power of laws.

Jiang Chen was already shocked by the dragon jade. He tried to use his detection technique, but he didn't get any answers.

Even the detection techniques failed to identify the origin of the Dragon Jade.

But the energy within is real, and Jiang Chen wouldn't mistake it.

According to Jiang Chen's understanding of Dragon Jade, every item that contains the power of laws is a mythical item.

Even a single piece of dragon jade is priceless.

But here it's just used for paving roads and building platforms.

Compared to the enormous palace, the round platform, though prestigious, is not particularly large.

Just as Jiang Chen was about to step forward, a powerful aura descended.

In the blink of an eye, a dragon appeared on the round platform.

It's not a dragon!

Rather, it was the kind of dragon that Jiang Chen remembered, the divine dragon of China.

It was over two hundred meters long, perched on the round platform, its head slightly raised, staring at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen felt a chill run down his spine as it stared at him, as if he were being watched by some terrifying being.

He was acutely aware that if the other party wanted to kill him, they only needed a single thought; they wouldn't even need to lift a finger.

The two sides are far too mismatched in strength.

Jiang Chen couldn't tell whether the dragon in front of him or Antares was stronger.

"Could he be a god-level being?"

Jiang Chen was certain that it was stronger than half-step godhood like the Dragon Emperor and the Demon Emperor.

The two are not comparable at all.

Shenlong stared at Jiang Chen without saying a word, and Jiang Chen remained silent as well.

Jiang Chen was not intimidated and met the dragon's gaze in return.

After a full ten seconds, the dragon's voice slowly rang out, "There is the scent of my race in your soul."

Jiang Chen was horrified, instinctively thinking that the dragon was referring to the aura he left behind after killing the dragon race.

But then I realized something was wrong; it wasn't like that. "The Divine Dragon of China, the Descendants of the Dragon!"

Jiang Chen's mind was racing when a possibility suddenly occurred to him.

Before he could speak, the dragon's voice came again, "Your ancestors should have some connection with our dragon race. The souls and bloodlines of your ancestors were tainted with the aura of our race. But too many generations have passed, and the aura in your soul is very, very weak, almost undetectable."

Jiang Chen was now 100% certain that what the dragon said must be related to his identity before he transmigrated.

What crossed over was one's own soul, and the aura it spoke of was also within that soul.

In an instant, Jiang Chen understood many things. The other party was very strong, but actually had no intention of killing him.

The fear I felt was entirely due to the vast difference in strength between us.

Jiang Chen finally spoke, "May I ask your name?" The dragon did not answer Jiang Chen's question, but continued, "Besides your soul, you also possess the aura of my race. It seems you have encountered members of my clan before!"

Without it making any move, Antares's scales flew out of its pocket on their own.

Jiang Chen had no idea how it did it; this was his life-saving charm.

But now I can only watch helplessly as it flies away.

Jiang Chen wasn't afraid to move, but rather he couldn't move.

An invisible force bound him, rendering him unable to move.

This was the difference caused by strength. Jiang Chen realized for the first time that the difference in strength could be so great.

I never had this feeling when I first changed jobs and met Hung Kei-shek two years ago.

The dragon before me is terrifying.

Jiang Chen believed that this divine dragon must be the dragon god that the giant dragon had mentioned.

Antares' scales flew in front of it and then began to shimmer.

The dragon activated its scales, and Antares's voice came from within them, "You brat, you got it?"

Jiang Chen gave a wry smile. "No."

"So it was you!" The dragon seemed to remember Antares and spoke.

"Holy crap!" A strange cry came from within the scales. "How did you wake up?!"

Shenlong chuckled, "You just happened to wake up!"

Suddenly, two beams of golden light shot from its eyes and landed on its scales, making them instantly dazzling.

The dragon scales gleamed, and a phantom image appeared on them.

Jiang Chen recognized Antares at a glance.

It recognized Antares's large head. But what happened next shocked it once again.

Antares appeared in the phantom, in its entirety, not just as a head.

Previously, Jiang Chen had only seen Antares's head; its body had always been hidden.

Now I can finally see it clearly.

Antares also resembled a Chinese dragon.

No, it can't be said that they are exactly the same.

Compared to the dragon before him, Antares had an extra pair of dragon wings, wings similar to those of a giant dragon.

It is precisely these dragon wings that make the fundamental difference between the two.

The dragon looks majestic, powerful, and beautiful.

Antares also possesses a similar aura, but its pair of dragon wings detracts from its aesthetic appeal and appears somewhat discordant.

The dragon said, "Long time no see, little Antares."

Little Antares. Jiang Chen instantly felt a strange sense of amusement.

Antares, who has lived for countless years, is actually called Little Antares.

Clearly, the dragon before us is much more ancient.

Antares did not refute, but instead said with a slightly respectful tone, "It's been a long time, Lord Dragon God."

The opponent was indeed the Dragon God.

Jiang Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

Moreover, it's clear from Antares's words that she doesn't want to encounter him.

Coincidentally, the Dragon God awoke, and could only say that he had arrived at the wrong time.

Jiang Chen could almost feel that Antares must be feeling incredibly frustrated at that moment.

The Dragon God said, "Little Antares, so many years have passed, are you still blaming me?" Antares shook his head, "I wouldn't dare."

"Hehe!" The Dragon God laughed. "It's not that I don't blame you, it's that I dare not."

Antares shook his head again. "Then let's not blame him."

That basically means, "You're the Dragon God, you're awesome, whatever you say goes."

The Dragon God didn't dwell on the matter further, instead saying, "You let this human brat into the 'Dragon King's Palace' because you wanted to retrieve your two Dragon Balls, right?"

Antares readily admitted, "That's right."

The Dragon God asked, "Of the sixteen Dragon Balls, how many have you found?"

"Ten, plus the two you have, that makes twelve." Antares didn't hide anything and told the truth.

The Dragon God asked, "Do you know where the remaining four are?" Antares shook his head. "I have guesses, but I can't be sure yet."

The Dragon God sighed, "I had no choice back then."

At this moment, Antares's large ears suddenly closed in the phantom image, clearly indicating that it did not want to hear the dragon god's explanation.

The Dragon God didn't continue speaking, but simply let out a long sigh.

"I had this human kid bring back your Dragon Ball."

"We may never see each other again. Take care of yourself."

Antares's ears twitched, clearly he had heard, but he didn't say anything.

Jiang Chen sensed something unusual in their words; clearly, the two had an unusual relationship.

The light from the scales gradually faded, and they flew back into Jiang Chen's pocket. Then, Jiang Chen felt a lightness all over his body, and the restraints disappeared.

At that moment, Jiang Chen heard a long sigh.

It was like an old man's sigh, tinged with a hint of reluctance.

Jiang Chen felt a lightness all over his body; the restraints disappeared, and he regained his freedom.

Two beads appeared before the Dragon God; they were the Dragon Beads belonging to Antares, and the beads still carried Antares's aura.

The two Dragon Balls flew into Jiang Chen's hands. Jiang Chen quickly took out a box, put them in, and then stored them in his storage space.

At this point, there's no time to hesitate. What if the Dragon God changes his mind? You can't beat him anyway, so what can you do but stare helplessly?

Regardless of the reason, obtaining the Dragon Balls is one of the best outcomes.

"Thank you, Lord Dragon God!" Jiang Chen said sincerely.

The Dragon God said in a deep voice, "This originally belonged to Antares. Take it back and return it to Antares."

Jiang Chen solemnly promised, "I will personally hand it over to Antares."

The Dragon God said, "I can tell that you and Antares have a good relationship; you must be its friend."

Jiang Chen readily admitted, "Yes, I am its friend."

The Dragon God chuckled softly, "Little Antares actually has friends? Looks like you're quite special."

Jiang Chen didn't say anything; he knew that the relationship between the Dragon God and Antares was definitely not ordinary.

However, neither the Dragon God nor Antares spoke of it, and Jiang Chen wisely refrained from asking.

Some things you can ask, and some things you can't.

Asking might cost you your life.

Many secrets are best left unsaid; the less you know, the longer you live.

Although Jiang Chen had a strong sense of curiosity, he wasn't stupid and wouldn't do something that would kill the cat because of curiosity. Jiang Chen changed the subject, "Lord Dragon God, may I ask what my next test is?"

The Dragon God shook his head and said, "No need, you've passed the test."

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback. He had been prepared for a great battle, so how did he pass the test so easily?

There's definitely something fishy going on here, and it's probably related to Antares.
