Chapter 1279 - 1027: Old Driver, Take Me With You

The Black Dragons dissipated in the distance, and immediately the White Dragons on this side cheered.

Elder Berick of the White Dragons even let out a sigh of relief. As an elder, he did not directly participate in the battle but stayed above Long Yi’s spaceship to observe the entire battlefield situation. To be honest, in terms of combat power, each White Dragon was far stronger than any single Black Dragon Man, and even ten Black Dragon Men might not match one White Dragon. However, the enemy had tens of thousands of Black Dragon Men, and the stacking effect between magics could cause a qualitative change. Most importantly, it seemed that the Black Dragon Men had not yet mastered the use of Mana resonance, but once they learned it through some means, the power generated by these twenty thousand Black Dragon Men performing Mana resonance simultaneously would be devastating. At that time, the expulsion spell that couldn’t be continuously cast would lose its effect.

The White Dragons returned to their resting state inside the spaceship, in chambers specially prepared for them, where the young White Dragons excitedly discussed the recent battle.

Elder Berick then went to the bridge, where he encountered the powerful Dark Golden Dragon he had just seen.

"Hello, I am Suolin, here to help temporarily, and I might leave at any moment," Suolin nodded to Berick.

"Hello, if I am not mistaken, Miss Suolin, you seem to be unaffected by the curse?" This was a question Berick had been holding back.

"Yes, I am not affected by the curse, and I can’t explain the specific reason. However, unfortunately, I am not a Pureblood Dragon, so my own power is limited," Suolin said.

"I see," Berick could feel that the Dragon Power in Suolin was very complex, not like any Pureblood Dragon could possess. Of course, Pureblood Dragons didn’t have this kind of figure either.

Almost everyone was curious about what Long Yi wanted to do with these two Black Dragon Men. Actually, Long Yi’s idea was very simple—if the Giants could curse your kind once, why couldn’t I do it a second time?

This idea was not new to Long Yi, but every time he thought of such a thing, he always felt like he was about to become a historical criminal. After all, it was a Giant from somewhere he didn’t even know who had originally cursed the Dragon Clan, which still felt like a barrier. And when he thought about taking action himself, he still felt somewhat unhappy. However, now, the other party was powerful, and it seemed that someone with Divine Power was standing behind them, so merely enhancing the White Dragons still did not reassure Long Yi, and he had to opt for this method.

The two Black Dragon Men were detained separately, and Long Yi conducted extremely stringent tests and experiments on one of them, while Little Zi also assessed them comprehensively from spirit to energy.

The conclusion shocked Long Yi because it turned out that the reason these Black Dragons transformed into Black Dragon Men was the power of faith! This conclusion was simply astonishing!

What did that mean?

"It means that somewhere, there’s a being who has integrated Divine Soul, Divine Status, and Divine Consciousness, who, although incomplete, can already exercise the powers of a god, and the Dragon Clan’s innate faith in gods makes this incomplete deity able to influence all dragons," said the Divine Envoy lady.

"So, the enemy I am facing now is actually a god," Long Yi said with a serious expression.

"You are also a god, so you don’t need to be too nervous," the Divine Envoy lady said.

"Uh, okay, actually becoming a god suddenly, I am still not quite used to it," Long Yi always forgot the fact that he had become a god too.

"So, am I actually involved in a war of gods now?" Long Yi asked with a smile.

"You’re thinking too much; this is just a minor scuffle," the Divine Envoy lady said with a smile.

"Come on, experienced driver, give me some pointers," Long Yi also laughed.

The Divine Envoy lady looked blank: "Experienced driver?"

"It means senior... Don’t mind the details, just give me some pointers, how should I play with her?" Long Yi asked.

"If this were a real war of the gods, I could give you plenty of advice, but right now, for a fight at your level, just fight however you originally wanted to," the Divine Envoy lady said.

Long Yi had once played this kind of trick, trading power through the power of faith. Back then, Long Yi just thought it was fun, but now, Long Yi decided to really play hard.

Long Yi tried to interfere in the Black Dragon’s faith with his own power, several times trying to intervene in the original faith of the Black Dragon using Divine Power, but he failed every time because his Divine Status was not powerful enough and his Divine Power was also not strong enough.

At that time, it was crucial to ask for help from Little Zi.

Little Zi’s Divine Power was powerful enough, and more than two thousand times of Divine Status provided her with almost unending Divine Power. With these Divine Powers, Long Yi tried to intervene in the direction of faith power, but the intervention was still unsuccessful. Not only that, even Little Zi’s soul showed signs of being eroded by Divine Power! Fortunately, Little Zi was originally a master of spirit and energy, and she immediately detected the abnormality, otherwise if her soul had been eroded, she might even have developed faith in that mysterious god!

So severe?

"I thought you planned to use your biotechnology to weaken those Black Dragons?" the Divine Envoy lady was brought once again as a rescuer.

"Yes, but I want to make it even more thorough," Long Yi said with a smile.

"Even more thorough?" The Divine Envoy carefully assessed the situation before her, estimated what Long Yi meant by ’even more thorough’, and then silently nodded, saying, "It’s really worthy of the Giant. I wouldn’t dare to think of such a thing."

Obviously, this comment wasn’t always praising Long Yi, but he took it as a compliment to himself anyway.

"Give me some advice," Long Yi said.

The Divine Envoy analyzed carefully, thought for a moment, and said, "Do you remember that Divine Soul?"

Long Yi nodded. That cell, made purely of energy, was still in his private space.

"Little Zi’s true form is a Female Demon. Even if her Divine Status and soul are fused together, her true form is still a lower life form. Although the Divine Status has given her enough Divine Power, it’s still unrealistic for a lower life form to challenge a higher one. However, you could try reshaping her soul with that Divine Soul," the Divine Envoy said.

The Divine Envoy’s suggestion delighted Long Yi, as he had been fretting about what use the Divine Soul served.

"But, I suggest you not let your guard down. Reshaping a soul, even the gods of old never did that. I’m also not sure what consequences it would bring; the whole process would entirely rely on yourselves," the Divine Envoy said.

"Then forget it, I thought this thing was foolproof," Long Yi decisively shook his head, not wanting to attempt things not under his control.

"No, I want to try," Little Zi said.

"Stop messing around, it’s not possible," Long Yi, known for being easygoing, decisively shook his head.

"I will be very careful," Little Zi said.

"I know you will be very careful, and I trust you will be, but this matter has reached the level of gods. It’s no longer a matter of being careful or not. Let’s not mention the war of the gods for now, in the present universe, gods are considered the highest beings. It’s too dangerous for us, who are still mixing in the Lower Plane, hence, my advice is to focus solely on the Black Dragon," Long Yi said, calling it ’advice’, but his expression was not to be refused.

However, the typically obedient little maid this time stubbornly shook her head, saying, "Actually, ever since the Divine Soul was born last time, I have been able to feel its energy, I’m confident in my success. And my understanding of Divine Status and Divine Power might even be no less than the Divine Envoy’s, I definitely won’t mess up!"

Long Yi turned to look at the Divine Envoy, who nodded, confirming Little Zi’s words. Originally, Little Zi had stored a substantial amount of divine consciousness, while also absorbing a lot of knowledge. This indeed made her understanding of ’gods’ much more profound.

Long Yi was troubled; he never wanted his victories built upon the sacrifices of loved ones, especially when it was dangerous. But seeing Little Zi’s almost pleading eyes, his heart softened again.

Suddenly, Little Zi said with a mischievous smile, "Or, are you afraid I might become stronger than you?"

Upon hearing this, Long Yi also laughed, "Look at the people around me, how many of them are weaker than me?"

Indeed, Ai Lin was a Fairy Dragon, a true Dragon Clan, naturally, her strength needs no mention; Little Zi, who had merged with the power of the Cosmic Stone, her spiritual magic was incredibly astonishing, and Silverlight, almost like Ai Lin’s twin, being a Shadow Silver Dragon, was nearly immune to any energy damage; not to mention the Dragon Clan assassin, the Dragon Hunting Spider Isrile, and the Tiger Whale Warrior Ruosha who could control Kela Particles; let alone Xiaodie who could release Stellar Material. The girls around Long Yi were almost each stronger than the next, and obviously Long Yi always hoped they could be even stronger.

"Don’t try to provoke me with such words. Since you believe in yourself, then I also have confidence in you. But I must remind you, if there is any accident, do not hesitate to do everything you can to save yourself. Even losing all your powers doesn’t matter, understand?" Long Yi said seriously.

"I know!" Little Zi smiled sweetly.

Long Yi chose a desolate asteroid in the universe; with no life for light-years around, it was secure enough.

The Divine Soul was taken out of Long Yi’s private space. It was a red glowing entity that Long Yi regarded as an energy-made ovum. But exactly how this thing should operate, Long Yi was unclear.

But clearly, Little Zi knew.

She held the fist-sized Divine Soul in both hands, Divine Power flowed from the palms of her hands into the Divine Soul, the space around them fluctuated, and the Divine Soul instantly expanded to thousands of kilometers! The red glow like a red giant star forced Long Yi to squint his eyes.

But it was only a moment; the Divine Soul shrank again, reducing to a light orb about one meter in size. Long Yi could see dense energy rings coiling within the light orb; originally, Long Yi had thought those were Divine Worms. Luckily, the Divine Envoy appeared and told Long Yi that the so-called Divine Worms were merely consciousness, and those red ones were pieces of the Divine Soul.

Little Zi placed her hands on the Divine Soul, her little face very tense, while in the distance, thirteen Female Demon avatars were even more nervous. They were born from Little Zi’s soul as independent consciousnesses, entirely dependent on Little Zi’s existence. If anything happened to Little Zi, they would immediately disappear, so they were actually far more anxious than Little Zi herself.

"She is trying to communicate her soul with the Divine Soul," the Divine Envoy explained from the side.

Long Yi nodded, his heartbeat speeding up. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to go to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it and send monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
