Xiao Chen was a human, not a dragon, but this village was once inhabited by the Ancestral Dragon, and he obtained the inheritance of the dragon race.
The memory imprint left behind by the Ancestral Dragon was very fragmented, and many things could not be investigated clearly. However, Xiao Chen still found out the reason why it was sealed.
Living under the shadow of the otherworld's rule, it was impossible for any race to truly develop and grow stronger.
Every time a race burst forth with brilliant sparks of civilization, the otherworld's deities would descend. They would break the germination, strangle the hope, and then develop and perfect a new civilization by themselves.
Several powerful civilizations had been destroyed, killed in the cradle. The dragon race was afraid of walking on the same path of destruction, so the Ancestral Dragon endured patiently. She wanted to ascend to become the unrivaled Stone King Primogenitor, and then jump out to fight against the otherworld.
She never thought that she would still be exposed in the end. Before she could advance further, the otherworld's unrivaled army arrived.
The Ancestral Dragon gave birth to nine sons, and they trained bitterly together with her in the dark. They were all war ancestors of the Ninth Celestial Layer, and inherited the Ancestral Dragon Snow's bloodline, granting them unparalleled battle prowess.
On that day, in order to fight for time for the Ancestral Dragon, even though they knew they would die, they still killed their way out from the dark and fought against the deities together with the other experts of the nine provinces.
Yazi, Pi Xiu, Bi 'an, Tao Tie, Bi' an … Every one of them was a top-notch expert. They had concealed themselves from the otherworld for many years, and all of them had trained to the Ninth Celestial Layer of War Ancestor.
On that day, the nine dragons appeared together, shaking the heavens and the earth. All the realms were swaying, and the otherworld paid an extremely heavy price. Almost everyone below the level of supreme ancestral god was annihilated.
But this did not change anything, the ending was already decided. Yazi, Bi 'an, Bi' an, Bi 'an … Dragon blood sprayed across the vast sky, and dragon bones cracked the blue dome of heaven. They shook the past and moved the future, but in the end, all of them still perished.
The nine sons of the ancestor dragon withered, and the blood of the dragon formed a river between the mountains and rivers. On that day, blood flowed like rivers in the Nine Regions, and corpses piled up into mountains. Hundreds of millions of creatures mourned, just like those civilizations that had disappeared. Finally, tens of thousands of dragons perished, and hundreds of races perished together. There was an additional sorrowful song of the dragon race's blood and tears.
The Ancestral Dragon watched helplessly as the nine sacred dragons died and everything slowly lost its vitality. The Ancestral Dragon was incomparably sorrowful. In the end, she stepped onto the path of death and summoned the Heavenly Stele at all costs. At that time, although she was incomparably powerful, she had not comprehended the Heavenly Stele Mystic Technique. She had merely obtained a portion of the summoning incantation. To summon the Heavenly Stele like that, she had to pay the price of blood and life.
In the end, the Ancestral Dragon succeeded. It summoned the Heavenly Monument, and in the final moment, it advanced a step further, becoming an unmatched Ancestral Stone King.
In that battle, the Ancestral Dragon Medallion appeared among the deities of the Nine States. Among the deities, there was a peerless Ancestral God with a physical body comparable to the Stone King. It could be said that he had endless potential, but in that battle, he was also killed by the Ancestral Dragon with the Heavenly Stele.
However, the price of summoning the Heavenly Stele by force was too great. The Ancestral Dragon lost an inexhaustible amount of blood and life force, and suffered the dying strike of the peerless Ancestral God, who was almost as powerful as the Stone King. It was almost completely destroyed.
One had to admit that the otherworldly world had a profound history. It had accumulated countless civilizations and produced too many terrifying figures.
Someone had used a forbidden technique to deceive the world, directing the resentment of countless living beings in a dozen or so destroyed worlds towards the Progenitor Dragon, successfully borrowing the power of "karma" and using the Divine Monument summoned by the Progenitor Dragon to suppress herself.
At that time, King Pangu was stopped by the Violet Sky Stone King and the others from the Heaven Realm. In the end, he failed to stop all of this from happening. When he arrived, the Heavenly Stele had already disappeared, and the Ancestral Dragon had already transformed into the surging Yellow River.
In the end, only a trace of the Ancestral Dragon's soul remained. It was sealed in the purple jade bracelet and placed in the Ancestral Dragon Village where she used to live in seclusion.
The ancient people of this place had received her inheritance in the past. For generations, they had preserved the purple jade bracelet.
The purple jade bracelet seemed to have been left behind by the Ancestral Dragon for a special person. However, no one came to take it. Eventually, the three Ancestral Dragons fought for it.
Actually, there were still many mysteries that had not been unraveled. In the end, they disappeared in the long river of history. However, Xiao Chen could roughly guess that even if he was not right, he was not far from it.
This was especially so since Xiao Chen already knew the origins of the Ancestral Dragon Village.
At the same time, all sorts of signs showed that there were many civilizations in the past. The human race was not the last to appear. The past was just a misconception.
At the very least, the ancient people of the Great Desolate Ancient Village seemed to have a very long history.
Xiao Chen did not accept the Dragon Race's inheritance. The Black Dragon King, the Scarlet Dragon King, and the Rebel Dragon King were the most suitable. There was no need for him to compete for them.
As Xiao Chen watched that dignified and holy woman's figure slowly fade, he opened his mouth and was speechless. Then, he walked into the Ancestral Dragon Village with large strides.
The familiar village and the aura of the countryside felt very familiar.
Grass grew on both sides of the dirt road. The unique fragrance of the grass brought back distant memories. He still remembered when he was young, running quickly here with his companions.
The big yellow dog at the entrance of the village belonged to Zhang Na's family. It was as strong as a calf. An old cat slept in a straw hut not far away.
When Xiao Chen entered the village, he casually looked around. The iron pot in Uncle Li's courtyard was still giving off steam. Who knew what it was cooking?
It did not feel like thirty thousand years had passed. Instead, it felt like he had never left at all. Everything was the same as before.
Xiao Chen found the feeling of familiarity. Returning to this village after thirty thousand years made him feel dazzled, like everything was unreal.
When Xiao Chen passed by Lord Wang Liu's courtyard, he saw the cucumber seedlings growing vigorously. The tender green melons had small yellow flowers on them, which brought back even more memories.
"I'm back. I'm back in the village …"
The fruits were plentiful, and a fragrance wafted out.
Xiao Chen could not help himself. He walked forward and plucked one. Then, he placed it in his mouth and took a bite. The sour taste immediately reminded him of a familiar scene.
Xiao Chen remembered when he was young. Because he liked to eat plums, he did not listen to his mother's advice and ate too much, causing his teeth to sour. He did not even dare to bite tofu for three days.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen immediately smiled. Then, he pushed open the door excitedly.
Soft breathing came from the room. When Xiao Chen entered, he saw the two old men sleeping soundly.
This period of time did not leave any marks on their faces. Although their hair was already white, it did not add any more white hair to their faces.
Thirty thousand years had passed. When Xiao Chen saw his parents again, his eyes immediately turned blurry. Just thinking about such a long period of time made his heart feel lost.
Countless years passed, and the plants in the world flourished generation after generation. Many lakes and rivers had completely dried up and disappeared, and many mountains had collapsed.
This was enough to destroy many people and things. However, the longing in Xiao Chen's heart became even deeper in these thirty thousand years.
Xiao Chen actually felt like sobbing. He had been on the brink of death for thirty thousand years. He had experienced countless battles of life and death. However, it was hard for him to experience the comfort of family.
Today, when Xiao Chen saw his parents again, the complicated emotions in his heart could be easily imagined.
At this moment, he was not a madman who battled the world but an ordinary wanderer who had returned.
Xiao Chen could not help but kneel by the bed. As he looked at his parents, who were already showing signs of age, he felt an indescribable closeness in his heart.
There was no more fighting, no more blood, no more mortal enemies, no more saber lights and sword shadows. Now, he only felt the warmth of his family, forgetting all his worries.
Xiao Chen was already able to let his parents live a long and healthy life. It was hard to imagine the scene of parting with his parents forever.
"Father …"
"Mother …"
Xiao Chen called out softly.
Soon, the two old men moved. Their eyelids trembled, and they slowly opened their eyes, waking up.
They did not show much excitement because they did not know that they had been asleep for thirty thousand years. However, when they looked at Xiao Chen, they doted on him.
No matter how strong Xiao Chen was, he was just a child in their eyes.
When Xiao Chen saw the two old men wake up, he felt like crying. He did not know that his parents had been gone for thirty thousand years, but he had personally experienced it. After wandering around for so many years, he had longed to meet his dream parents.
"Child, what's wrong?"
The two old men looked at Xiao Chen benevolently, feeling somewhat confused.
"It's nothing. Sand just got into my eyes."
Xiao Chen did not want to tell them that thirty thousand years had already passed. He did not want them to worry and ask about it. Furthermore, he did not know if the Ancestor Dragon Village would reappear in the world. He did not want to disturb the two old men's peaceful state of mind.
Soon, the two old men's eyelids grew heavy. Unknowingly, they fell back into a deep sleep.
Xiao Chen remained silent. He knew that the Ancestor Dragon Village had not reappeared. His parents still had to sleep.
Xiao Chen sat quietly before the window. He only left his room three days later.
He really wanted to reunite with his parents. However, he still had many things to do, so he could not stay here.
Xiao Chen left the courtyard resolutely and closed the doors. The Ancestor Dragon had vanished in front of the Ancestor Dragon Village. The three Ancestor Dragons had inherited everything she had.
At this moment, the Black Dragon King, the Scarlet Dragon King, and the Rebel Dragon King had all taken human form. They sat cross-legged in front of the Ancestor Dragon Village with their eyes closed, silently meditating as if they were digesting the priceless wealth.
Xiao Chen opened his palm and discovered that the shattered purple jade bracelet was already whole again. He vaguely guessed that the Ancestor Dragon Village would continue to remain hidden until the three Ancestor Dragons left the Great Desolate Ancient Village.
He stepped into the void and then tore open space, leaving this ancient village world.
When Xiao Chen appeared in the outside world, he discovered the bright moon hanging high in the sky and the surging Yellow River.
This was a quiet night. There were no tall buildings or neon lights in the surroundings.
Xiao Chen did not know that more than a hundred years had passed in the outside world. This place had become a forbidden zone in the eyes of the Nine Provinces. Normally, no one dared to approach it.
And just at this moment, Xiao Chen saw an ancient five-story tower in front of the ancient village, not far from the Yellow River's embankment. A lonely figure stood on top of it.
He was dispirited and melancholic. His eyes were filled with loneliness and sadness. He stood alone in the shadow of the tower under the bright moon.
"Upstairs, I watch the people's romance, detached from the outside world. Downstairs, I watch you drink alone. The bright moon decorates the tower, but you are in the tower. Detached, but sad …"
The dispirited and melancholic Demonic Human Ge Qian's voice sounded sorrowful. He poured a cup of wine down the tower and stared at the Yellow River for a long time without saying anything. He was as still as a fossil.
After a long time, he said, "Is the time up …"
Just at this moment, all the realms shook. The three stone cities in the important land of the foreign races in the Heavenly Realm crumbled and were destroyed!
In the new foreign realm, the five Immemorial Demon Cities also crumbled at the same time. There was also a supreme Ancestor God with a body of flesh and blood. Cracks appeared on his forehead, and blood trickled down …
"The bright moon decorates the tower, but you are in the tower. Detached, but sad …"
The Demonic Human Ge Qian was dispirited and lonely. He cried out mournfully, "What else can I do?"
