"Is that so? Unfortunately, I don't see the shadow of the Dragon of Destruction in you," Lin Li said. There was a reason for his words, and he wasn't just trying to poke fun at Nefa. Although Nefa didn't mention his own choice, Lin Li could tell that the glory of the Dragon Aspect that Nefa mentioned was probably about inheriting everything from the Dragon of Destruction and becoming the new Dragon of Destruction of Anril. However, the Dragon Aspect was a powerful existence that was comparable to the gods. Although Nefa was powerful now, and was also a top powerhouse in Anril, he was obviously far from the level of the Dragon Aspect. Otherwise, Lin Li wouldn't have dared to barge into the crack, and would've simply hidden as far away as he could.
"If it weren't for the fact that my younger brother is stubbornly guarding the Blackstone Mountains … Having such a younger brother is really quite distressing. What do you think?" Nefa shook his head slightly, and his tone seemed to be a little helpless towards his younger brother, Tutankhamun. However, his tone was more like complaining to others about his brother's mischievousness. In fact, he didn't take it seriously at all.
However, although it seemed to be a very ordinary sentence, and Nefa said it very casually, Lin Li felt that it wasn't a meaningless sentence. Lin Li could tell that what he had said just now had clearly touched Nefa. Although Nefa didn't say more, it was enough to make Lin Li believe that Tutankhamun was guarding the Blackstone Mountains not only because of the agreement with Geresco, but also because he wanted to prevent Nefa from becoming the new Dragon of Destruction.
Although Nefa and Tutankhamun were twins, it didn't mean that they had to stay together forever. After all, they had different ambitions. However, Lin Li could vaguely sense from Nefa's words that Nefa didn't leave the Blackstone Mountains entirely for the sake of finding a way to become the Dragon of Destruction. It was very likely that the reason was because of Tutankhamun.
Although Nefa always spoke in a relaxed tone when he mentioned Tutankhamun, and it was as if he was just complaining about his younger brother's incompetence, Lin Li could sense Nefa's concern. Nefa's concern was not due to his concern for his disappointing younger brother, Tutankhamun, but the fact that Tutankhamun had stayed in the Blackstone Mountains. In that case, what exactly was Tutankhamun guarding in the Blackstone Mountains was worth pondering.
"Since you've passed that test, you must have been to the Throne of Darkness in the Abyss of Tharlen and seen that shadow," Nefa said while Lin Li was making wild guesses. It was no wonder. He had been in the crack for so many years, and he had been facing prehistoric magical beasts like the Minotaurs that only knew how to kill. It was not easy to have someone to talk to.
"Yes, could it be that the key to you becoming the new Dragon of Destruction is …" Lin Li knew that the shadow that Nefa was talking about should be referring to the Lord of Darkness. However, he recalled that the Lord of Darkness was the projection of the Dragon of Destruction in the Abyss of Tharlen, and contained a portion of the Dragon of Destruction's Rules of Darkness. Could this be what Tutankhamun was protecting?
After fighting with the Lord of Darkness back then, Lin Li had once suspected that Tutankhamun had designed such a test to obtain the part of the Laws of Darkness that the Lord of Darkness had mastered. However, after he came out of the Abyss of Tharlen, Tutankhamun did not ask him to hand over the Lord of Darkness and the Throne of Darkness. Hence, his suspicions faded. However, it seemed that Tutankhamun did not want to become the new Dragon of Destruction in the first place. Hence, he naturally would not care about the whereabouts of the Lord of Darkness. However, it was different for Nefa.
However, as soon as Lin Li had that thought, Nefa, who was opposite him, put on a funny expression, and said, "You mean that shadow? Although he has mastered a portion of the Laws of Darkness, it is not important to us. How could the Dragon of Destruction divide his most important and core nomological power to create a weak shadow? I'm just a little curious. How did you deal with the shadow in the Throne of Darkness when you hadn't reached the Legendary-realm? "
"You don't have to worry about that. I naturally have my own ways." Although it was not an important secret, Lin Li still did not tell Nefa. One reason was that he did not know whether Nefa was a friend or a foe. The other reason was that he was somewhat depressed that his conjecture had been denied.
However, although he was depressed, Lin Li had to admit that Nefa's words did make sense. Although he did not know why the Dragon of Destruction would place a projection in the Abyss of Tharlen, it was obvious that the Dragon of Destruction would not be so foolish as to divide the core nomological power that he had mastered. Since the Lord of Darkness did not master the core nomological power, both Tutankhamun and Nefa would only have to comprehend it a little on their own if they wanted to obtain it. There was no need to take the Lord of Darkness seriously at all.
Did I guess wrong again? Lin Li secretly shook his head. Since it was not the Lord of Darkness, it naturally could not be the Throne of Darkness. Although the Throne of Darkness was created by the Dragon of Destruction, it was only a solidified Dark Magical Domain. Perhaps it could be considered a rather powerful magical prop, but it could not be the key for Nefa to become the new Dragon of Destruction. Moreover, it was not necessary to enter the Abyss of Tharlen through Tutankhamun. Tutankhamun could send people in with a wave of his hand, so how could Nefa not be able to enter with his abilities?
Since he could not find the answer from Tutankhamun, he could only consider it from Nefa. As a descendant of the Dragon of Destruction, it seemed logical for him to become the new Dragon of Destruction. What exactly did he lack? Lin Li recalled the thrilling battle with the Dragon of Destruction in the Endless World. Although the Dragon of Destruction was in a weakened state at that time, Lin Li, who was holding the Stars of Fury and the debris of the stars, still managed to kill it with great difficulty in the end.
What Lin Li wanted to find now was not the similarities between Nefa and the Dragon of Destruction, but the difference between them. The difference did not refer to the strength of their abilities, but the difference in their essence. Combined with the feelings that the Dragon of Destruction gave him in his memory, Lin Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and a vague answer gradually became clear.
Although he felt the aura of destruction and evilness from Nefa, which seemed to be closer to the Dragon of Destruction than Tutankhamun, it was still not enough for him to become the real Dragon of Destruction. That was because he also felt that Nefa seemed to be lacking something, and it was this lack that made Nefa and the Dragon of Destruction feel like two different creatures. In this world, there were many creatures that mastered the Laws of Destruction and Evilness. Prehistoric magical beasts, Abyssal Demons, and even some humans might have mastered the Laws of Destruction and Evilness. However, why couldn't they become existences at the level of the Dragon Aspect?
Although Tutankhamun and Nefa were the sons of the Dragon of Destruction, they were not born through the normal reproduction method of the dragon race. Instead, they were hatched by the Immortal King using the magical crystal of the Dragon of Destruction. They inherited the power and Soul Brand of the Dragon of Destruction, but they did not obtain the true bloodline of the wyrms. It could be said that their current life form could not even be considered dragons at all. Instead, they were somewhat similar to Dracoliches. They could also continuously improve their strength through learning and comprehension. However, even if they really reached the level of the Dragon of Destruction, it was basically impossible for them to obtain the recognition of the laws of Anril and become the new Dragon Aspect.
In fact, strictly speaking, Nefa and Tutankhamun should have only inherited half of the power of the Dragon of Destruction. Don't forget that for the Dragon Clan, physical strength was also very powerful, and physical strength came from their bloodline. Indeed, what Nefa needed was the bloodline of the Dragon of Destruction. Only by truly inheriting the bloodline of the Dragon of Destruction would he have a chance to become the new Dragon of Destruction of Anril.
Could it be that what Tutankhamun was guarding in the Blackstone Mountains was actually the remains of the Dragon of Destruction? However, Lin Li still remembered that according to the legends, after the Dragon of Destruction was killed by the Immortal King, its remains were used in the construction of the seven Sky Castles. The only remaining eyeball was even hung in the mausoleum by Osric to illuminate it. The remains of the Dragon of Destruction were probably the only ones in the entire Anril that had them in the Ring of Endless Storm.
However, it was not impossible after thinking about it. After all, the Immortal King had obtained the entire remains of the Dragon of Destruction, and not just the bones. Putting aside the bones and flesh, the dragon's liver and heart couldn't have been used to build the Sky Castles. With the power contained in the body of the Dragon of Destruction, it was not impossible for the dragon's blood and internal organs to be preserved until now. If Nefa could directly obtain the complete remains of the Dragon of Destruction, he would naturally be closer to the Dragon of Destruction. However, if he just wanted to obtain the bloodline, he would not need too much. In fact, a small bottle of the blood of the Dragon of Destruction would suffice.
Of course, after getting such a reliable guess, Lin Li did not ask Nefa for confirmation. Anyway, it seemed to be the most likely guess now. It made no difference whether he asked or not. Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, Lin Li reckoned that Nefa wouldn't tell him directly. Besides, that seemed to explain why Nefa was here. No matter how kind Tutankhamun was, he wouldn't allow someone who was coveting the things he was guarding to be around him. Besides, Nefa had probably gathered such a group of prehistoric magical beasts because he was thinking of snatching the remains of the Dragon of Destruction in the Blackstone Mountains after leaving.
Looking at Nefa who was calm and composed, Lin Li secretly felt smug. He probably wouldn't have thought that there was a huge pile of the remains of the Dragon of Destruction in his Ring of Endless Storm apart from the Blackstone Mountains that he had been yearning for.
