Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

Chu Zihang didn't remember where he saw these words, but he had always kept them in his heart. He also never forgot what the man said to him... He had half of the man's blood in his body, and only if he was alive could it be proved that the man once existed in this world. If he died, the man would truly be forgotten by everyone.

But is this really the case? If the man is really dead, what will it matter if I remember him? He is no longer here, but only lives in my memories. But I can't mention this memory to anyone else. No one will care about a man who no longer exists in this world. Every time I think of him, I will be overwhelmed by the regret and sadness like a tide.

Memory is a double-edged sword, sometimes it is as sweet as candy, sometimes it is a deadly poison... If the man is still alive, those memories may be precious past, but if the man is dead, those memories are sharp blades, which will cut your heart in every silent night and make you regret it.

Chu Zihang deeply understands this feeling.

So he tried his best to remember the man, he even wanted to go back to that rainy night again, but he couldn't do it, so he tried his best to find the man's whereabouts over the years. This was his deepest obsession, he had to know whether the man was alive or dead... Even if he had to chat privately, he had to personally confirm the news of his death.

Otherwise, memories will always linger between regret and remorse.

"No, I really think so." Chu Tianjiao was a little anxious, "I can die, but you have to live. You are my son. Isn't it natural for a father to protect his son? If you are gone, you can't survive alone. How can I face your mother? She will kill me!"

"Don't say such irresponsible things." Chu Zihang looked into Chu Tianjiao's eyes and said, "The only person who can prove his existence is himself. Only by living can he prove his existence. There is no need to throw his own affairs to others to do."

"No...but..." Chu Tianjiao opened and closed his mouth several times, but this time he was really speechless and couldn't say anything. He looked at Chu Zihang's face. The childish face in his memory no longer had any childishness on it. Instead, it was stubbornness and maturity.

His son grew up to be such a stubborn and foolish boy, just because of what he said back then.

Chu Tianjiao seemed to understand what Chu Zihang wanted to say to him. Just like he always hid his true thoughts, Chu Zihang was not very good at expressing his feelings. In fact, this father and son were both equally stupid in this regard.

Aren't these words Chu Zihang's response to him? He said he wanted Chu Zihang to be alive, because Chu Zihang was his son, with his blood flowing, and only Chu Zihang alive could prove his existence... He gave such a huge responsibility to Chu Zihang, but he never thought about what Chu Zihang would bear. Just like he said to Chu Zihang, if he had a private chat, his second son was still alive, he would definitely feel that he couldn't live alone, even if that woman didn't kill him, he would hate himself like that.

From a father's perspective, he had to let Chu Zihang survive, because it was extremely painful for a father to lose his son... But what if a child lost his father? Isn't this something worth being sad and grieving, enough to become his obsession and indelible shadow for the rest of his life?

“Uncle Chu, Senior Brother has a habit these years. He does his homework every night before going to bed.” Lu Mingfei suddenly spoke up and said to Chu Tianjiao, “The content of these homeworks is to recall the things he doesn’t want to forget. Senior Brother and I are similar in this regard, so I understand. To be honest, this feeling is quite uncomfortable. Senior Brother has really tried his best to find you in the past few years.”

"I..." Chu Tianjiao looked at Chu Zihang, stunned and speechless. This man who was always eloquent and changeable suddenly became speechless at this moment, as if he had lost the ability to express himself.

Chu Zihang turned his head and signaled Lu Mingfei with his eyes to stop talking.

“Brother, I know your character. You and your father finally meet again. I hope you can be honest with each other. If you don’t want to say something, let me say it. Just treat me as a nagging person.” After Lu Mingfei finished speaking to Chu Zihang, he said to Chu Tianjiao, “Uncle, in the past few years since you disappeared, you have indeed been forgotten by this world.”

"Forgotten?" Chu Tianjiao murmured these words, as if he had not really understood what Lu Mingfei said.

"It is a true forgetfulness. Odin has the ability to modify cause and effect. Your existence has been erased from the new world line. The only ones in this world who remember you are me and my senior brother." Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Tianjiao and said, "My senior brother didn't know about this at that time, but he has been trying hard to remember everything about you. I understand the feeling of regret. He regretted it from the bottom of his heart. He left alone that night. He even felt that he should die that night."

Chu Tianjiao was absent-minded for a moment, his eyes slightly reddened, "You silly child."

Chu Tianjiao's voice was a little hoarse.

"Actually, there are some things you can tell me." Chu Zihang whispered, "I can pretend I don't know and I won't tell mom."

"I didn't mean to hide it from you...Okay, I did mean to hide it from you." Chu Tianjiao sighed, "Remember, son, since you entered junior high school, we have met less and less. Sometimes when you asked me to go to your school, I would find excuses to refuse, because I always felt that danger was getting closer and closer, and it would come one day, so I wanted to stay away from you and your mother as much as possible."

"I'm a dangerous person. Although I know I shouldn't have a family and it's wrong to do so, I don't regret being with your mother or having you with her. I love her and you very much. You are my pride." Chu Tianjiao looked at the ceiling with a hazy look in his eyes. "These are all my true feelings. In fact, I shouldn't have picked you up that night, but it rained so hard that night that I was worried that you wouldn't be able to go home alone. I also thought that I hadn't seen you for a long time. If I hadn't picked you up, you probably wouldn't have encountered these bad things and you wouldn't have lived so hard these years. I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

"Rather than being kept in the dark, I would rather know the truth from the beginning." Chu Zihang paused, "I know you have your reasons."

"Maybe I've been living in peace for too long, and I've let my guard down." Chu Tianjiao smiled bitterly, "I definitely wouldn't have made such a low-level mistake when I was young."

"Uncle Chu." Lu Mingfei interrupted at an appropriate time, "What do you mean by 'this day has come so quickly'? Did you know that Odin would come looking for you?"

“Yes, I know.” Chu Tianjiao nodded and admitted it directly, “I came to this city just for Him. I have been in this city for so many years, actually waiting for Him to come to me. I know He will come to me because I have what He wants. But I didn’t expect that Chu Zihang would be in the car on the day He came to me.”

"Is your mission to protect the thing in your hand?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask, "Or, is your purpose to use the thing in your hand as bait and wait for Odin to show up?"

"My mission..." Chu Tianjiao thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you this, nor can I tell Chu Zihang. Not only is it for everyone's safety, but there are too many things involved."

"What about that thing of yours?" Lu Mingfei asked in a low voice.

No one would not be curious about something that even God is interested in.

“Sorry, this is also an absolutely confidential part.” Chu Tianjiao paused, “But what I can tell you is that the thing I carried with me at the time was actually incomplete. Odin probably got it when I was defeated. So many years have passed, I don’t know whether it has achieved its complete goal.”

Listening to Chu Tianjiao's words, Lu Mingfei lowered his head and pondered slightly. Although Chu Tianjiao kept the content of his mission completely confidential, Lu Mingfei seemed to have vaguely grasped some clues.

"Have you ever been to the Nibelung?" Chu Tianjiao suddenly asked Lu Mingfei and the others.

"We... some of us have been in." Lu Mingfei looked at the others, nodded to Chu Tianjiao and said, "But we can't go in now. This Nibelung has temporarily lost its owner, and it seems that it can't be opened again."

Chapter 1057: Teasing the Gods

"Nibelungen has temporarily lost its master?" Chu Tianjiao frowned slightly when he heard this. He looked around at everyone in the room, then looked at Lu Mingfei and asked, "Are you talking about Odin? Did you meet Odin?"

Lu Mingfei glanced at Chu Zihang, then looked at Nuonuo and Ye Sheng.

"We did meet 'Odin', but what we met was not Odin himself." Lu Mingfei finally chose to confess to Chu Tianjiao.

"Not Odin himself?" Chu Tianjiao frowned even deeper. "Are you saying that there is a second Odin in this world?"

"There is indeed another 'Odin'." Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "The 'Odin' we encountered is not the same Odin that you and your senior brother encountered seven years ago. After we defeated 'him', we escaped from Nibelungen. Until today, nearly a week has passed, and the entrance to Nibelungen has not appeared again."

"Who is the Odin you defeated?" Chu Tianjiao asked in a low voice, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"It's you." Lu Mingfei looked into Chu Tianjiao's eyes and said in a deep voice.

Chu Tianjiao’s eyes widened, but his pupils suddenly shrank until they became a tiny dot… This was an extremely horrified expression. It was obvious that Chu Tianjiao was shocked by Lu Mingfei’s just two words.

Chu Zihang's lips moved slightly, but he still didn't say anything. He looked at Nuo Nuo and the others, and finally looked at Lu Mingfei, his eyes twitching twice.

Lu Mingfei noticed Chu Zihang's gaze. He knew that Chu Zihang was conflicted. It was obvious that Chu Tianjiao had lost his memory of becoming Odin. Chu Zihang didn't know whether he should tell Chu Tianjiao about this, or he didn't know whether he should tell it now... when Chu Tianjiao had just woken up. After all, he had just experienced amnesia. This incident must have been a great shock to Chu Tianjiao. He didn't know if his mental state could withstand such a huge impact.

Since Chu Zihang was not suitable to speak about this matter, Lu Mingfei thought that he should speak for himself. Chu Tianjiao would know these things sooner or later. Even if they did not tell him, he would be able to slowly investigate them with his own ability. Instead of letting him bear the truth alone, it would be better to tell him directly so that everyone could speak frankly.

It just so happened that Lu Mingfei also had some ideas and wanted to verify them through Chu Tianjiao's words.

Chu Tianjiao still maintained an expression with his pupils dilated, but his eyebrows were severely wrinkled… Not just his eyebrows, but his facial features and his entire face were wrinkled. It was an extremely complex expression, as if an ancient person had traveled through time and space to the modern world. His entire worldview was almost collapsed. Chu Tianjiao's eyes flickered repeatedly, with emotions such as surprise, confusion, and even fear and anger. It seemed that he had thought of something, but the fragments of his memory were too vague, and those fleeting images were like unreal fragments in a dream.

"During these seven years, you are 'Odin'. You sit in the city of Nibelungen. You have all of Odin's equipment, including the blue wind cloak and armor. You have the artifact Kungunir, and you sit on the eight-legged Pegasus Sleipnir. This giant horse has the ability to spit fire and lightning." Lu Mingfei whispered to Chu Tianjiao and continued, "Not only that, you can even modify cause and effect and world lines. I have fought with you before. When you were Odin, your bloodline and recovery ability were comparable to that of a dragon king."

Chu Tianjiao's eyes were silent for a while and then flickering. As Lu Mingfei's description became more detailed, the fragments he could recall seemed to become more and clearer.

"Odin is Senior Brother's father. After entering Nibelungen, Senior Sister and I both vaguely guessed it, especially when I was fighting with you, I had a strong premonition." Lu Mingfei glanced at Chu Zihang, "Senior Brother probably guessed it too, but it was after that, otherwise he wouldn't have fought with you."

"I had this feeling after I left Nibelungen," Chu Zihang recalled, "In fact, I should have thought about it this way from the beginning. There are too many doubts."

“Yes, but doubts are doubts. We lack solid evidence.” Lu Mingfei sighed and explained to Chu Tianjiao, “Our fight was actually quite brutal. We tore each other’s chests open. I wanted to confirm my guess, and in the end I smashed your mask with my head. Unfortunately, I fainted before I could see the face under the mask.”

"You were taken away by...some people, but you escaped from them later." Lu Mingfei described Chu Tianjiao as detailed as possible, "But you lost almost all consciousness and memory. You caused a commotion in the city and were wanted by the police. Finally, we brought you here."

"I have to say this place is actually quite safe and secluded, otherwise the previous investigation team would have cleared this room long ago." Finkel suddenly interrupted and boasted, "But it doesn't work for me. I can smell someone's scent here, which is equivalent to a special sense of smell. Don't underestimate the paparazzi's nose!"

Lu Mingfei glared at Finkel, warning him not to say anything irrelevant at this time, but Finkel didn't buy it at all. He just rolled his eyes and made an international gesture to Lu Mingfei to greet his mother. Obviously, he felt that he had made great contributions and there was nothing wrong with talking about it. It was not right for him to be hidden by Lu Mingfei.

Chu Tianjiao was silent for a long, long time. His expression changed several times. His eyes were complicated and blurred. It seemed that he was recovering some memories with the help of Lu Mingfei's words.

The whole room was silent for a very long time. Everyone's attention was on Chu Tianjiao. They held their breath and concentrated, as if giving Chu Tianjiao enough space to think.

After a long while, Chu Tianjiao slowly raised his head and looked at Lu Mingfei: "I seem to remember something..."

"What did you remember?" Lu Mingfei and Chu Tianjiao looked into each other's eyes, their tone not fierce but gentle.

This is what Lu Mingfei learned from teacher Masashi Toyama. If you want to dig deep into a person's memory, you must proceed step by step and dig gently. Otherwise, it will easily cause a "memory collapse" in the amnesiac, or it will backfire and cause someone's brain to completely block the memory.

"Have you ever seen... a room full of documents?" Chu Tianjiao still looked reminiscent as he slowly asked Lu Mingfei.

"Old newspapers, hardcover books, parchment scrolls?" Lu Mingfei whispered, "All of these documents contain information about Odin, right?"

"It seems that you have been into that room." Chu Tianjiao nodded.

"Yes, we went in there." Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "But now the room and the things inside are gone."

"Yes, it is a small space existing in Nibelungen." Chu Tianjiao said.

"No, that house can no longer be found in Nibelungen. All that can be found are the burnt rooms and the ashes all over the floor and walls." Lu Mingfei shook his head and said, "It is truly gone. It must have been a ruin by now?"

"Why is this happening?" Chu Tianjiao asked.

"It was burned down by a fire." Lu Mingfei laughed at himself, "We were in a pretty bad state when we escaped from that fire."

"Who set the fire?" Chu Tianjiao frowned.

"It's still you." Lu Mingfei said to Chu Tianjiao.

"It's me?" Chu Tianjiao obviously didn't remember this incident, and his expression looked quite confused.

"It was you after you became Odin. There was a mirror in that room. You appeared in the mirror and shattered the kerosene lamp when you attacked my senior brother." Lu Mingfei explained the situation at that time. "The fire was very big and could not be put out. When we left, all the books were on fire. After that, we never saw the entrance to that room again."

"So there is such a thing?" Chu Tianjiao whispered, "That is a room in Nibelungen. Those bundles, newspapers and parchment scrolls are all the information I have collected about Odin over the years."

"Sorry, they must have been burned." Lu Mingfei said.

"It's okay. They are not needed now." Chu Tianjiao paused. "Thank you for reminding me. If it weren't for your words, I would have forgotten a lot of things. Maybe I won't be able to remember them in this lifetime."

"Did you remember anything, uncle?" Lu Mingfei asked with concern.

"I remember that rainy night seven years ago. After Chu Zihang left, I jumped and slashed at Odin, and Odin threw his Kungunir into the sky." Chu Tianjiao described it while trying his best to recall the vague and distant scene in his mind. "Kungunir flew high into the sky and sank into the clouds. In the sky, it broke apart, and countless golden spears fell down like a group of falling meteors."

Lu Mingfei lowered his head in thought. He had never seen such ability when he was fighting with Chu Tianjiao.

In an instant, Lu Mingfei thought of two possibilities... The first was that Odin was hiding something and he had not given Chu Tianjiao such ability at all, and the second was that the Kungunir in Chu Tianjiao's hand was most likely fake, a counterfeit.

Lu Mingfei was more inclined to the second possibility, because even "Odin" himself was a fake, so it was not impossible that the weapon was fake. The Kungunir was broken by Lu Mingfei, but was the gun made by the legendary World Tree so easy to break?

Not only Kungunir, but even the eight-legged Pegasus, Lu Mingfei suspected it was a fake.

It died too easily. As the most loyal mount and strongest partner of the God King Odin, Lu Mingfei didn't even need the help of Lu Mingze to kill it... If Odin was really a Dragon King, or something more terrifying than a Dragon King, his mount should be close to the Dragon King level.

Moreover, Lu Mingfei thought of a fatal flaw. If Kungunir was real, the eight-legged Pegasus was real, and Odin was not such a powerful "god", why did he give these things to Chu Tianjiao? Chu Tianjiao was just a substitute for him, but he gave him his own weapons and mounts. Wouldn't Odin himself be a commander without troops at this moment?

Anyone with a brain would not do this, let alone a "God" with great power.

"My word spirit is 'Time Zero'. With the power of 'Time Zero', I dodged and resisted at the same time, but those things seemed to be tracking me, and I was still hit by one of the Kungunir. The huge impact force pressed me back to the ground, and the Kungunir pierced my stomach." Chu Tianjiao said, "I took a closer look, it was not a Kungunir at all, just a black vine, but it was so hard, as hard as a steel bar... Oh, no, I can bend steel bars with my bare hands, so it is harder than steel bars. My abdomen is bleeding profusely, I can feel my body getting colder and colder, and my vitality is quickly fading away."

After hearing this, Lu Mingfei became even more convinced that his broken Kungunir was not the real Kungunir. The causal weapon should still be held in the hands of the real Odin, as well as the eight-legged Pegasus.

"I heard the sound of horse hooves. Odin approached me. He looked down at me and asked me whether I would give him the thing or choose to die." Chu Tianjiao said, "The guy's voice was as loud as thunder in the sky. I was very tired at the time. The rain was pouring down on me. I felt that the blood in my body was getting colder inch by inch. So I asked Odin to come closer. I didn't have the strength to speak loudly."

It has to be said that Chu Tianjiao is indeed a good storyteller. His tone was fascinating as he talked about what happened on that rainy night. Everyone was curious about him and wanted to know what happened next.

"That guy really leaned over, and he pointed that silver mask at me. I could even see his golden eyes like lava under the mask." Chu Tianjiao narrated vividly, "And that horse, the horse's head was huge, and the breath it exhaled hit my face, which was hotter than the steam from boiling water."

"Then what?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask.

"Then, I spit on His face. Oh no, it was on His mask." Chu Tianjiao smiled smugly. "Hey, so what if he's a 'God'? He's not my father, so why should I give him face? I just couldn't stand his arrogant look, so I cursed him a few times. I don't remember what I said, but it seemed to be pretty dirty."

Everyone was stunned by Chu Tianjiao’s behavior... The tone and demeanor of Chu Tianjiao when he described these words really made him sound like a street thug, but what he did... was so courageous!

He spat at God, played a trick on Him, and even cursed at God... He was clearly about to die, but he showed no intention of surrendering in the face of death. This is what a real man is, with real backbone!

At this moment, even Caesar was in awe of this seemingly sloppy man.

An expression of surprise appeared on Chu Zihang's face. There was a hint of pride in his eyes as he looked at Chu Tianjiao... Proud that his father was a real man.

"I was satisfied at that moment. I was so happy!" Chu Tianjiao was beaming with joy. "I humiliated God. Who the hell cares about life or death?"

Chapter 1058 The Mystery Left Behind

"Uncle, you are this." Lu Mingfei gave Chu Tianjiao a thumbs up. In a man's dictionary, this gesture means "awesome".

He sincerely felt that Chu Tianjiao was awesome. This man's behavior and his unruly character were truly admirable... He was about to die, but at the end of his life he was still fooling the "God". How many people in this world could do that?

No wonder a beauty like Su Xiaoyan would fall in love with this man. How many women in this world can resist such a charming man? Lu Mingfei felt that if he were a woman, he might also be fascinated by this unique man at this moment.

"It was really cool, but I also felt that I was going to die." Chu Tianjiao took out a cigar from somewhere and lit it. "I advise you not to think too highly of me, because I have such a bad personality. Even if I am going to die, I will disgust the guy who killed me before I die. I don't even have a life to live, so why should I consider the consequences? In my life, I have only pretended to be a grandson for my woman and my children."

Hearing Chu Tianjiao's words, Chu Zihang was silent, feeling a little touched in his heart… He only pretends to be a grandson to his woman and children. Chu Zihang was really touched by this sentence, because in his memory, this man had always been pretending to be a grandson. No matter in front of his mother or in front of himself, he had always acted as an ordinary little man, sometimes even so humble that he couldn't even raise his head.

It was not until that rainy night that Chu Zihang saw the high-spirited side of that man. He was so energetic, so solid and reliable. When he stood in front of "God" and allowed himself to escape, at that moment the word "father" took shape. Chu Zihang finally felt the great and deep love for him from this man... It was no longer the humble and cautious emotion that could probably be called flattery.

What a contradictory man he is! He is not afraid of death and even dares to play tricks on "God". The only thing he is afraid of is that his wife and children will not live well. The first half of his life was so majestic and dazzling, but he is willing to hide all his brilliance in front of the person he loves. His love has even surpassed the ego. He has the courage to humble himself to the dust to protect his beloved, and he also has the courage to slash at the "God" to protect his beloved.

This man spent the rest of his life sacrificing for the word "love".

Chu Tianjiao exhaled a puff of thick smoke, and his handsome face once again regained its serious and cold expression. Perhaps this is the true nature of this man. At first glance, he looks like a man full of stories.

"But Odin didn't kill you?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

"Yes, this was also completely beyond my expectations." Chu Tianjiao took a deep puff of cigarette, nodded and said, "I acted so rudely towards Odin, I blasphemed the 'God', the 'God' on the throne seemed furious, and the eight-legged Pegasus was also roaring, spraying black flames and purple lightning in anger. That horse was the 'God's' throne. I could see the eyes of the god flashing with brilliant golden light, as if flowing with lava, and the huge pressure was pouring down on me, as if to tear me apart. At that moment, I felt that the 'God' was about to pour out His wrath on me. This was my price and punishment."

Chu Tianjiao's wording and tone were so vivid that everyone in the room, after hearing his description, felt as if they were facing a tall and majestic "God". He was so majestic and terrifying. Because you had angered Him, His wrath came from the depths of hell and would burn to death the daring criminals.

"I know I can't run away, I can't hide, but it doesn't matter, this is my fate. Anyway, my son has already run away, and I have a miserable life, dying in the hands of 'God'. Am I losing out? I am not losing out at all!" Chu Tianjiao said viciously, holding a cigar in his mouth, "But if I can cut off a piece of 'God's' flesh before I die, then I will make a fortune!"

Chu Tianjiao's words once again shocked everyone in the room. Everyone was stunned by his fearless tone. He was so fierce, so fearless, and so reckless... He was simply a desperado who was forced into a desperate situation.

All the desperate criminals were desperate.

"I'm going to die, what else do I have to be afraid of? So I decided to give it a try, or to be more precise, a do-or-die battle. I didn't want to live, I just wanted to die. But before I die, I must tear a piece of flesh from the body of 'God'!" The cigar in his mouth was bitten off by Chu Tianjiao, and the expression on his face was twisted and ferocious. "I lit up my golden eyes for the last time. I could feel the dragon blood in my body boiling wildly. I used up my last bit of strength to get up. The vine inserted in my abdomen completely pierced me. When I stood up, it tore my stomach and spleen. I could feel the huge pain and the sense of fragmentation, but it doesn't matter. I was a mortal anyway, and suffering was not torture for me."

"I still have the knife in my hand. With the blessing of Time Zero, I swung the blade at God. The blade was pointed at His face. At that moment, I was murderous. At that moment, I was desperate. I didn't need to retreat and had no choice. This was my last resort." Chu Tianjiao's tone returned to calm at this moment, just like the "empty" state of mind he had when he faced Odin for the last time. "My actions obviously exceeded Odin's expectations. In the realm of Time Zero, I seemed to be able to see the expression in Odin's eyes. Yes, the moment I got close to Him, I understood the look in God's eyes. His eyes were filled with surprise, doubt, and an extremely complex, indescribable...surprise."

"Surprise?" When Lu Mingfei heard the word, he was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly.
