I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 636 The Lonely Man and the Dragon Had a Quite Conversation

Jiang Chen was sweating profusely and trembling slightly.

He kept telling himself, "I can't think about it anymore, I can't think about it anymore."

But those secrets seemed to possess an infinite magic, compelling him to constantly think about and explore them.

He tried to open his eyes, but it was somewhat out of his control.

Seeing that something was wrong, Antares suddenly let out a dragon roar.

The dragon roared and burrowed into Jiang Chen's soul.

At the same time, the nine-colored dragon soul crystal outside the soul also emitted a dragon roar, resonating with Antares's dragon roar.

Jiang Chen's soul was shaken by the dragon's roar, and then he trembled and finally regained his senses. Antares breathed a sigh of relief, "You brat, what were you thinking? Your soul almost collapsed. This will damage your foundation."

Jiang Chen gasped for breath, feeling as if he had escaped death.

His memory was somewhat hazy, yet also somewhat enlightened.

What was blurry was the question he had just been pondering; it seemed he had sealed away his thoughts, forcing himself to stop thinking about it.

The sudden realization came from understanding why the few who successfully obtained the source skill avoided discussing their entry into the secret realm.

They definitely know what the secret realm is like, but they never reveal it to the public, not a single word of it leaks out.

It's not that I don't want to talk about it, but that I can't talk about it, or even think about it.

Jiang Chen guessed that they would probably use self-sealing to seal this memory away. Seeing that Jiang Chen was silent again, Antares couldn't help but lean closer and ask, "Hey, are you alright? Have you gone mad?"

Jiang Chen shook his head. "I entered the 'Primordial Secret Realm'."

"Isn't this normal? You originally went to find the 'Origin Secret Realm,' and what happened? Did you succeed?" Antares was unimpressed; its thought process didn't delve into the deeper implications.

Jiang Chen said, "Success! Both skills have been successfully preserved."

Antares said with a hint of excitement, "I knew it! If you can't even retain your skills, then nobody else can even dream of it. How about it? Is it difficult or not!"

"Fortunately, after several assessments, it wasn't too difficult." Jiang Chen said honestly, "For someone with my abilities, it really wasn't too difficult."

"That's true, your strength far surpasses that of others at the same level."

Roar!

Antares suddenly realized something was wrong halfway through his sentence and roared, "You brat, you still retain the memories from the secret realm?"

Jiang Chen hummed in agreement.

Antares became excited. "Tell me quickly, what's it like inside the secret realm?"

Jiang Chen asked in surprise, "You don't know?"

"Nonsense, why would I ask you if I already knew?" Antares said irritably. "Since the last era, no one who has entered has any memory of the secret realm."

Jiang Chen had completely calmed down by now. "Didn't you say that you knew everything?"

Antares snorted heavily, somewhat exasperated, "Stop talking nonsense and get to the point!"

Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously, "You really want to know!"

Antares glared fiercely at Jiang Chen, "If you dare not tell me, I'll swallow you whole."

Jiang Chen knew, of course, that this guy was joking with him. He immediately sat down and gestured for Antares to come closer.

Antares lowered his large head, almost touching Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen deliberately lowered his voice, "There's a pavilion in the secret realm, and inside the pavilion is a separate space. But before entering the separate space, I saw a scene."

"Among the stars are countless powerful beings, an old man riding a blue ox, surrounded by a vast expanse of purple aura."

Antares suddenly let out a dragon's roar, interrupting Jiang Chen's words.

The deafening sound made Jiang Chen's ears ache. "What are you doing?"

He heard fear in Antares's roar, and he also heard fear in Antares's eyes.

Antares shook his big head. "Stop talking, stop talking."

Jiang Chen frowned. "What's wrong?" Antares said in a deep voice, "Remember, you must not mention that person's matter, and you must not speak of it to outsiders. If you say too much, you will be killed."

Jiang Chen asked in surprise, "I've already left the secret realm."

Antares shook his head like a rattle drum. "It's no use, it's no use no matter where you are."

"Even if you go to the deepest part of the starry sky, as long as you mention his name, he will hear you."

Jiang Chen was somewhat incredulous, "But I have no idea what his name is."

From beginning to end, he only guessed that the old man riding a blue ox who gave him tea might be the legendary figure named 'Laozi'.

But it's not certain; it's all just his guess.

Antares said, “You’ve seen him, you can imagine what he looks like, and with your words, that’s enough, enough for him to hear.”

Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask, "Is he really that terrifying?" Anritas replied solemnly, "His terror is beyond your imagination. Remember my words: do not mention him, do not think about him, do not ask about him."

It cannot be mentioned, thought, or asked.

Antares's tone was very serious, making Jiang Chen realize the gravity of the situation.

He had been pondering the events that had occurred in the secret realm, trying to analyze what the outside world was really like.

Among them are many scenes about 'Laozi', as well as countless powerful figures, including the Origin Bird.

He was thinking about too many things at once, and couldn't pull himself out of it.

In particular, the image of an old man who resembled 'Laozi' kept appearing in his mind.

It was as if he were under a spell, unable to break free.

Hearing Antares's words, Jiang Chen realized the seriousness of the situation. Even when facing the Dragon God, Antares showed no fear.

But now, it is truly afraid.

An existence that even Antares fears is truly something one shouldn't even think about.

Jiang Chen made a decision: he would put this matter deep in his memory and never touch it again until he possessed great strength.

However, still feeling somewhat unwilling, she couldn't help but ask, "Antares, have you ever heard of the name 'Ghost Husband'?"

Antares's dragon scales stood upright like sharp blades. It slowly turned its head, its expression slightly stiff. "You...where did you hear that name?"

Antares's behavior alerted Jiang Chen to a problem: "It was in the secret realm that that guy tried to kill me. However, because of the rules of the secret realm, he couldn't lay a hand on me."

Antares's eyes darted around, and suddenly he shouted, "I understand! I understand! So that's where he went!"

Jiang Chen asked, "Is a ghost husband scary? Even scarier than that one?"

Antares shook his head. "The Ghost Husband isn't just scary, he's cruel. Compared to that one, the Ghost Husband is nothing."

"Let me tell you again about what happened in the secret realm."

Jiang Chen interrupted Antares, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm just mentioning it to you briefly, and I won't bring it up again."

Antares was relieved. He knew Jiang Chen; if he said he wouldn't mention it again, he really wouldn't.

Even it had to admit that Jiang Chen was extremely cautious.

Jiang Chen forwarded the topic and talked about his experience on the Wind and Thunder Continent.

The conversation turned to the colossal creature hidden beneath the Thunder Mountain Range. At this point, Antares became quite animated, abandoning his previous cautious demeanor and launching into a long, eloquent monologue.

"That guy, he was the companion beast of the God of Thunder, and later became the God of Thunder's mount."

"After the God of Thunder died in battle, it was also seriously injured and lay dormant to recover beneath the Thunder Mountains."

"The Thunder Tree actually grows on it. It uses the Thunder Tree to absorb the power of lightning to restore itself."

"As for why it exists on the Wind and Thunder Continent, that is naturally the work of this dragon."

"But you don't need to worry. It usually sleeps, and even when it wakes up, it won't leave that area."

"If you want to level up using the Thunder Tree, just keep your distance from it. Should I give it a heads-up and tell it not to attack you?"

Antares returned to its usual self, completely forgetting what had just happened. Jiang Chen hadn't expected that the being was actually the companion beast of the God of Thunder.

No wonder it's so powerful.

It can stay on the Wind and Thunder Continent unrestrained by the laws because of Antares.

Jiang Chen said coldly, "Do you know that you almost killed me?"

Antares scoffed, "Who knows you were going to attack the Thunder Tree? If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it long ago."

"I have lived for countless years, witnessed countless eras and events, and done too many things to remember such a trivial matter."

Jiang Chen chuckled, "All you do is sleep, how much can you possibly accomplish?"

"Besides, no one gets up early without a reason. There must be a reason why you're willing to help the God of Thunder."

Antares said in a muffled voice, "I have my reasons for taking action."

The two chatted and bickered back and forth.

Jiang Chen is usually very quiet and rarely interacts with others.

However, he was quite talkative when he was with Antares.

At first, I talked a lot just to get some information out of him.

Later, he truly considered Antares a friend.

Antares was also lonely, having had no friends for many years.

The lonely man and the dragon found themselves together.
