Dragon Raja: The Divine Man Lu Mingfei

"Brother, you finally realized what's going on."

The boy raised his hand to cover his forehead with a helpless expression and shook his head gently, as if he was already used to Lu Mingfei's slow pace.

"...So, what exactly is the situation in this world?" Lu Mingfei asked, somewhat helplessly.

"As you can see, brother, we and Nidhogg were both severely injured. You were mostly devoured by Him, and I only managed to save the rest of you by fighting with all my might..."

Lu Mingze slowly recounted the beginning and end of that earth-shattering, awe-inspiring ancient battle, his voice growing softer and softer until it was barely audible, like the fluttering of a mosquito's wings.

Lu Mingfei's silence was resounding.

After a long pause, Lu Mingfei finally spoke slowly:

"You mean, in a two-on-one fight, we both suffered heavy losses and almost got wiped out?"

Lu Mingze nodded silently, his jawline taut, but then, as if stabbed by something, he shook his head rapidly, his voice low but chilling:

"Brother, our defeat at Nidhogg was not due to a lack of strength. Those traitors were the real culprits—they had been secretly colluding with humans and launched a rebellion at the most crucial moment of the decisive battle. Besieged on both sides, we had no chance of winning."

Lu Mingfei fell into a deathly silence once more, the air seeming to freeze for several minutes. Just as Lu Mingze frowned, about to break the deadlock, he suddenly exploded like a lit firecracker:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" He pointed to his nose, his voice suddenly rising eight octaves. "How could I be so useless in this world? I can't even beat a newbie boss! If word gets out, wouldn't this become the biggest stain on my life?!"

"A Lostbelt! It's definitely a Lostbelt!" He slapped his thigh, looking like a streamer having a meltdown. "Does anyone know what this is? I woke up and found myself transported to a Lostbelt, and I've already suffered a crushing defeat right from the start!"

He abruptly turned to Lu Mingze, his tone instantly switching to that of an officer giving a stern lecture: "War criminal Lu Mingze! Step forward!"

"Tell me! Were you secretly sabotaging me and holding me back?!"

Lu Mingfei's face contorted with excitement, his golden pupils blazing uncontrollably, shining like two blazing suns. Lu Mingze instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes, his breath catching in his throat. He dared not look directly at the scorching light and repeatedly begged for mercy.

"Brother, I'm innocent! I really tried my best. We're one family, how could I possibly betray you?"

"Brother, you said that not being able to beat Nidhogg is the biggest stain on your life, but that's not necessarily true." Lu Mingze's tone softened a bit, but it still carried a hint of helplessness. "Why don't you try to recall your past life in this world? I suggest you prepare yourself mentally in advance. Some past experiences may be harder for you to accept than a defeat."

Lu Mingfei was taken aback. His past life? Judging from Lu Mingze's tone, could it be that not being able to defeat Nidhogg wasn't the worst part? There were other experts out there?

Lu Mingfei calmed himself down and began to recall his past memories in this world—

The memory begins in the cold, desolate Port Black Swan.

He was tightly bound to the operating table, the blinding light of the operating room lamps making it impossible to open his eyes. A group of scientists in white coats surrounded him, touching his skin with cold instruments and repeatedly chanting the code name "Zero," pointing at him and manipulating him at will, as if he were a lifeless experimental subject.

Upon seeing this, Lu Mingfei's face darkened completely, and a cold rage surged in his eyes.

But he is the Dragon King, and now is not the time for him to speak ill of others. Therefore, Dragon King, be patient!

Taking a deep breath to suppress the anger in his chest, Lu Mingfei continued reading.

The scene shifts, and he encounters the girl named Renata in Black Swan Harbor.

Later, he led her out of that cage-like research institute and fled all the way to China.

However, they were intercepted by a group of mixed-race individuals on their way. One of them activated the Word of Power [Rhine] and severely injured him by self-destructing.

He gritted his teeth and let Renata escape first, while he fought with his last ounce of strength, finally killing all the pursuers, but he collapsed to the ground from exhaustion. After he lost consciousness, a man named Lu Lincheng took advantage of the situation.

The memories belonging to "Zero" come to an abrupt end here, and what floods the mind next are fragments of life as "Lu Mingfei".

Lu Mingfei has two parents: his mother is named Qiao Weini, and his father is named Lu Lincheng...

"Holy crap! What the hell is this?!"

Lu Mingfei stared at the parents holding the baby in the picture, his eyes wide like saucers, and let out a loud shout.

He immediately turned to Lu Mingze and yelled, "Explain yourself! Don't give me that 'I'm their biological son' nonsense, you're kidding me!"

"Isn't it obvious, brother?" Lu Mingze shrugged, giving him a "how could you be so stupid" look. "After Lu Lincheng captured Zero, he used him as a guinea pig and did a bunch of experiments on him, and in the end, he created this 'finished product' like you."

"Damn it!"

After finishing his tirade, Lu Mingfei suppressed his anger and continued reading—

Lu Mingfei's childhood was a period no different from that of any other child. He would go to and from school with his schoolbag from Monday to Friday, and on weekends he would go to the park and shopping mall with Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini. His days were ordinary but filled with small moments of happiness.

But this peaceful life came to an abrupt end when he entered junior high school. Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini suddenly announced that they were going abroad for archaeological work, and hastily placed him in the care of his uncle Lu Gucheng—from that day on, Lu Mingfei's good days were completely over.

Auntie was a shrewish and domineering woman. Out of jealousy of Jovie's glamorous life, she vented all her resentment on Lu Mingfei, often beating and scolding him, and always using the most offensive words to belittle his character. "Useless" and "nobody wants" became his daily labels.

Uncle Lu Gucheng was a complete spineless coward. He would never dare to contradict his aunt. Even if he saw Lu Mingfei being bullied, he would just lower his head and pretend he didn't see it.

What made Lu Mingfei even more amused and exasperated was that his uncle's family had a cousin with the same name as his younger brother, but he was a fat guy weighing 300 pounds who was lazy and gluttonous all day long. He also took advantage of being the family's "precious darling" to boss Lu Mingfei around and looked at him with disdain.

This family, despite receiving generous child support from Lu Lincheng and his wife, treated Lu Mingfei like a free servant, dumping all the dirty and tiring work on him and taking their frustrations out on him at the slightest provocation. Lu Mingfei dared not speak out in anger and could only silently endure it.

In such a repressive environment, Lu Mingfei gradually became the most inconspicuous "loser" in the school. After entering high school, he secretly fell in love with the gentle and beautiful Chen Wenwen, but this love became a joke in the eyes of others. He carefully tried to please her and humbly gave his all, like a shadow circling around its master, but in the end, he only earned the title of "simp" and became a clown known throughout the school.

Lu Mingfei stared at the "loser" who used to fawn over Chen Wenwen from his memory, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

He stretched out his finger and tapped back and forth between the image and himself several times, finally unable to hold back his laughter. His shoulders shook as he laughed, but as he laughed, his voice gradually lowered, and the smile on his face vanished like smoke blown away by the wind, leaving only a chilling calm.

He stopped looking at the memories and instead closed his eyes, silently activating the dormant power within him. In his past life, he was someone who had conquered countless worlds and made the highest rulers bow down in submission; his martial prowess ranked among the top in all the realms.

Although his once-proud and powerful physical body is no longer there, the vast amount of spiritual energy he had honed through countless battles has returned with him intact.

His current condition is indeed not good. He can only draw upon less than half of his peak power and cannot control it precisely. However, it is more than enough to handle what needs to be done next.

"Brother, what big move are you planning?" Lu Mingze felt the invisible pressure emanating from him and leaned closer to ask curiously.

Lu Mingfei opened his eyes, his gaze devoid of any emotion, his tone as casual as if he were asking, "What are we having for dinner today?"

"What can I do? This damn planet is full of my embarrassing history, it's so annoying to look at it."

He stretched and said slowly, "I plan to wipe out all intelligent life on this planet and start over on another one. Don't worry, bro, it'll be a piece of cake. Although my mental energy is limited and the precision is poor right now, I can still wipe out all intelligent life by unleashing a mental blast on the entire planet."
