"The situation is shrouded in mystery, but this is the only path we can take. If we don't kill the Divine Dragon, the consequences will be unimaginable. Earth might be destroyed in an instant," Mu Chen said seriously.
"But have you thought about what if we were deceived from the start, led astray by false ideas? What then?" the Emperor said seriously.
After all, the Emperor is an old hand. Plus, during this time, Mu Chen has been leading everything. As an observer, he can see things others might overlook.
"Old man, I understand what you're saying. Since arriving in the Boundaryless Space, the Evil Worm King told me some secrets, the Divine Dragon told me some secrets, and now this young man in white has told me some secrets. All three have different secrets. I haven't truly trusted anyone, but I believe one thing: killing the Divine Dragon is the right thing to do."
"I agree with that," said the Emperor.
"So I won't trust any of these people. But what I need to do is massacre the Divine Dragon and the Evil Worm King, to eliminate these two vile creatures," Mu Chen said seriously.
"Kid, as long as you understand my point, don't lose your way. Always protect your inner heart," the Emperor said again.
"Old man, you won't oppose me going in to kill the Divine Dragon, right?"
"Of course not."
"Then there's nothing more to say. Let's enter and kill the Divine Dragon." Mu Chen's resolve to kill was set, and he immediately entered the cave.
The Devouring Qilin secretly protected the others. The Heavenly Poison Toad and the Xuanwu Divine Beast, two powerful demon beasts, also spread out around, ready to handle any crisis that might come at any time.
Yu Xi, Su Fei, the Emperor, and these strong Ancient Gods all gathered around. They were quite strong, protecting the weaker ones.
The cave sealing the Divine Dragon was even better than imagined. Along the way in, there was no danger.
But when everyone reached the depths of the cave, they saw a large energy barrier seal, and apart from this seal, it was an open space all around.
"Old man, where's the Dragon Hatchling you mentioned?" Mu Chen asked in confusion, not seeing any hatchling.
"It shouldn't be. When I came here before, I clearly saw a gigantic egg. How could there be no hatchling?" The Emperor was also puzzled. Besides the seal, there was also a huge egg here.
"It could be that the Divine Dragon took it, or perhaps the Divine Dragon ate it, considering the giant egg represents power. It's not impossible for the Divine Dragon to eat it to restore its power," the Ancient God said.
"Eating its own child, the Divine Dragon could indeed do such a thing, but now is not the time to discuss this. Let's kill this Divine Dragon first. I have the Divine Dragon Body; I'm confident I can refine this Divine Dragon," Mu Chen said seriously.
"Kid, you can't even enter the seal. How could you possibly kill this Divine Dragon?" the Emperor looked around at an energy space wrapped in energy chains, expressing doubt.
"Young man in white, what do you say?" Mu Chen asked in confusion.
"You possess the Divine Dragon Body, so you can naturally enter inside," the young man in white appeared instantly, looking at Mu Chen seriously.
"Are you sure you're not tricking me?" Mu Chen frowned and said.
"Kid, if you don't believe me, then leave. Anyway, my duty is to stop the Divine Dragon and the Evil Worm King, to repair the seal. If these two demon beasts really break free from the seal, I can do nothing about it," the young man in white said seriously.
"You previously said lifting the seal would have severe consequences, and now you have this attitude. Young man in white, is this really your attitude?"
"What can I do? Everything depends on you, right?" the young man in white countered.
"Young man in white, you make me doubtful now. Even though I shouldn't doubt your intent to kill the Divine Dragon, you raise suspicions."
"Kid, killing or not, it's your decision. There's no need to belittle me with such words, understand?" the young man in white said.
"You've underestimated my eyes. Inside is the sealed Divine Dragon, but it's just a shell. The true Divine Dragon might be hiding here, or perhaps it has already escaped and is hidden in some corner," Mu Chen said seriously, his killing intent rising.
"Can you see what's inside?" the young man in white was shocked. He hadn't expected Mu Chen's eyes to be so terrifying, clearly circumventing the power he had set in place.
"I don't understand why you are siding with the Divine Dragon, but I know one thing, you're waiting to trap me. Only the old man's words woke me up: Can you really trust what everyone says? So, I kept some distance, and your words only reinforced my belief in this. But in the end, I still want to know, why did you choose betrayal?"
"Do you know the feeling of being cursed, doomed to die without a doubt?" the young man in white suddenly said.
"I don't need to know about this. I want to know why you betrayed?"
"Because the Divine Dragon promised me I could live, so I chose betrayal."
"Why wasn't there any sign of betrayal in the gods' legacy, and yet I gained so many legacies?" Mu Chen asked in confusion.
"Only by you obtaining this legacy can I escape. Moreover, I'm cursed. The legacy was gained by your own skills, something I couldn't stop. Do you understand?"
"Understood," Mu Chen smiled. At this moment, he understood everything.
"Evil God, everything I told you is indeed true, but the Divine Dragon found me. To survive, I agreed."
"Do you really believe the Divine Dragon can surely save your life?"
"Can I rely on you?"
"Why not?"
"If the Divine Dragon were still in the seal, I would choose you. But now, things are different." As the young man in white spoke, he rapidly sketched with his hands, gathering terrifying energy. In an instant, everything around changed. A wave of forbidden power surged forth, and everything around was shrouded by prohibition, incredibly terrifying.
"Young man in white, you are seeking death." Mu Chen's killing intent surged, realizing what this was—a plot, calculating that they would surely come here.
"Seeking death? Humans, who's really seeking death here? You want to kill me, so naturally, you must die too." At this moment, a gigantic dragon hovered above the cave, exuding an intimidating aura.
This was the Divine Dragon, red, with incredibly strange scales. It was a thousand meters huge, and its presence was immensely powerful, with a Realm certainly above the Heavenly Realm, extremely terrifying.
"Divine Dragon, how could you possibly break free from the seal? What exactly caused it?" Mu Chen asked, puzzled. How could the seal left by the formidable ones be so easily broken?
"Do you want to know why?" the Divine Dragon asked with a smile.
"Very much so."
"Your Divine Dragon Body evolved, and so did I. That's the reason," the Divine Dragon said.
"I see, you evolved, the strongest creature evolved, it sounds incredibly terrifying."
"Humans, now you only have one path: surrender or die."
