Chapter 740 - 585

At this point, the entire Dragon Clan of Dragon Island was reduced to less than a million, the majority of them heavily wounded.

"What are our losses?"

Long Yi asked Wesley.

"Not many, the aerial maneuvers you taught them were fully utilized. Those Corpse Dragons and Ghost Dragons were just fighting instinctively, easy to avoid, some were killed by Raz. Luckily, those Flying Dragons desperately protected our Dragon Knights, otherwise the losses could be even greater."

Wesley replied.

Far away, Long Yi saw Gulelie and Asus, Long Yi walked over. Seeing Long Yi, Gulelie’s face was full of shame.

"I..." Gulelie wanted to say something, but obviously, he didn’t know exactly what words to choose. After a long pause, he knelt directly in front of Long Yi.

"Kill me!"

Gulelie said in a low voice.

"Old friend!"

Asus yelled in surprise, he looked at Long Yi with pleading eyes, but Long Yi didn’t look at Asus. Instead, he directly put his hand, full of Fighting Aura, on Asus’s head.

"Who gave the command to attack the Giants ten thousand years ago?"

Long Yi asked.

"It was me!"

Gulelie replied.

"It was the Dragon Emperor."

Asus quickly responded.

"Why did the Dragon Emperor want to attack the Giants?"

Long Yi continued to ask.

"Because he disliked you."

Gulelie answered.

"I don’t know! We didn’t know! The Dragon Emperor only issued the command! He didn’t explain why! We didn’t dare to question the Dragon Emperor!"

Asus felt like he was losing his mind!

Every member of the Dragon Clan, be it the ordinary Flying Dragons or the councilors, were watching this, watching Gulelie kneeling in front of Long Yi. Another councilor, Asus, was looking helplessly at Long Yi.

"Councilor Gulelie, I know you want to die, but since you want to die, can we cooperate a little? Answer my questions honestly, and after that, I’ll let you have your way."

Long Yi said with a smile.

"Now that I’m going to die, what else is there to say? Everything was my fault! Although it was done for the revival of our great Dragon Clan, I did everything wrong! It was I who devised the plan to use humanity, it was I who erased all traces of the Giants’ history! It was I who manipulated the human world! I came up with the rebalancing plan! It was I who caused so many Giant Dragons to lose their beloved Dragon Knights! It was I who tried to kill you! I almost did something to the entire Human Realm that could never be undone! It was me! Everything was my doing! Let me die! Let me die!!"

Smack!

A crisp slap, heavily hit Gulelie’s face. Gulelie, who knelt on the ground, rolled several rounds, remained sprawled on the ground for a while before slowly getting up, a few teeth fell out, and his aged face quickly swelled up.

"So, you know you were wrong?"

"You also know that you hurt so many people and dragons?"

"And now you just want to die and be done with it? If you die, no one will bother you anymore, right?"

"Keep dreaming!"

"I’m not allowed to die either! So what else do you want from me!"

"Apologize..."

Long Yi caught hold of Gulelie’s collar, but his tone wasn’t too agitated.

Gulelie was stunned.

He slowly turned around, looking at the councilors, looking at the Giant Dragons, looking at those pairs of eyes.

"I’m--sor--ry--"

Facing all the Dragon Clan, Gulelie heavily knelt on the ground, his face marked with ravines was drenched with tears.

"I’m sorry! I’m sorry to all of you! I’m guilty! I’m so guilty!!"

Gulelie wailed, almost fainting.

But Long Yi had already withdrawn his hand.

"Let’s go."

Long Yi said to Ai Lin who was behind him.

"Is this how it ends?"

Ai Lin asked softly.

"No..."

Long Yi glanced at the sky.

"This is just the beginning."

In the Burial Ground, the Ghost Dragon Tyl was blankly looking at the empty space in front of him. It was only him here, he had prepared for this moment for so many years, sought help from so many people.

Yet, ultimately, he still failed.

"I’m sorry... Um..."

Tyl smiled. He still couldn’t forgive Gulelie. Yet, for some reason, his resentment wasn’t as intense as before.

Would the Burial Ground remain closed? Being here alone is quite nice, it would at least be quiet.

Thought Tyl.

At that moment, an inexplicable force suddenly tore through the space, a massive bone gate swung open. Along with the sound of footsteps, a pale-faced young man walked out.

"Lord Tyl, I have come for you."

Tyl opened his eyes, and when he saw the person, he was stunned.

"Tilian?"

The one who appeared was indeed Tilian, who at the moment looked quite healthy apart from a pallid complexion. Dressed in black with a thorn crown on his head and a book in hand.

"Yes, it is me, a friend of ours entrusted me to take you to a place more suitable for you." Tilian said.

"Where?"

"Hell."

This time, the war was completely over.

The White Dragon Empire, this time, truly stood at the pinnacle of humankind. The wealth Long Yi left behind for the White Dragon Empire was immeasurable, enough to lead other empires by decades or even centuries! However, Kirei had no intention of using the military force in his hands to subdue the whole world, nor did he intend to unify the entire world. Commerce is the foundation of the White Dragon Empire, he would use the White Dragon currency to gradually take control of the world. He believed that, compared to armed force, money would garner more sincere support and admiration.

The Dragon Clan, having lost Dragon Island, couldn’t return, so they began to live among humans. They settled in the Gentle Wind Plain, be it White Dragons, Black Dragons, Green Dragons, or Blue Dragons, Red Dragons. Despite past discontents, humans accepted the Dragon Clan with great tolerance.

And this time, what the Dragon Clan and humans learned was not about fighting, but survival.

It may sound absurd, but this was Long Yi’s plan. Humans taught the Dragon Clan how to survive on their own, while Long Yi focused on solving one problem.

Reproduction.

Actually, the curse of the Giants was far more complex than Long Yi thought, evidenced by several experiments he conducted later. At least for now, the Dragon Clan didn’t possess the ability to fly in the universe. But according to what he understood, the curse seemed to have only two aspects.

The ability to use power and the ability to reproduce.

If he used Divine Power, both could be solved. However, Long Yi’s current Divine Power could only help two hundred more dragons. Such a solution was like a drop in the bucket, so Long Yi focused on solving the reproduction problem.

Since the end of the war, the Floating Island had come to hover above the Gentle Wind Plain, and Long Yi had transferred his laboratory here. On the third day after the war, he locked himself in the lab, conducting endless tests, even more hectic than during the war.

Everyone found it hard to believe since there was no more war and the lifespan of the Dragon Clan was extremely long. Was there really a need to work this hard?

Although Ai Lin was full of doubt, she didn’t dare to disturb Long Yi, knowing that he wouldn’t waste his efforts for nothing.

Finally, Ai Lin couldn’t hold back. She found the person who should understand Long Yi best in this world.

Divine Envoy.

God created the Giants, and the Divine Envoy inherited God’s will and knowledge. Naturally, he should understand Long Yi.

The moment the Divine Envoy listened to Ai Lin’s question, she let out a sigh.

"That’s because, Long Yi knows, he can’t hold on much longer."

The Divine Envoy’s words almost made Ai Lin burst into tears.

"What’s happened to Brother Long! Is Brother Long going to die?" Ai Lin hurriedly wanted to rush up to the Floating Island.

"No, no! How could Long Yi possibly die! Even if the Human Realm self-destructs, he won’t die! I mean, the seal of Long Yi’s Giant Power is being lifted. I can feel that he is currently suppressing his seal with all his might, aiming to lift the curse of the Dragon Clan’s reproductive ability before he leaves. Once the seal is lifted, he can’t stay in this world any longer! Therefore, he’s so anxious to lift part of the Dragon Clan’s curse before he leaves."

The Divine Envoy slowly said.

"How can this be... Brother Long is leaving. Where is he going?" Ai Lin, at her wit’s end, looked at the Divine Envoy.

"It’s not about where he’s going. I’m afraid even he doesn’t know where he’ll end up right? After all, he’s a Pioneer, and there has never been a precedent for a Pioneer reaching this level."

Upon saying this, the Divine Envoy turned to look at Ai Lin.

"Moreover, it’s not just him. Once Long Yi leaves, you will go with him."

"With Brother Long together!?" Ai Lin asked, surprised.

"I’m not sure, as I said there’s no precedent. Long Yi is unaware that you have inherited some of his Giant Power. The two of you have been inseparable. Once he leaves the Human Realm due to the rules, your power will be completely unrestricted, and then you will leave the Human Realm too. Definitely towards the upper Plane, but as for exactly where, no one knows."

Upon hearing the Divine Envoy, Ai Lin became dejected. She looked up at the Floating Island overhead, unsure if she should feel happy or sad.

Just at this moment, someone rushed down straight from the Floating Island!

"I succeeded! I succeeded! Hahaha!"

Long Yi saw Ai Lin standing with the Divine Envoy far away, he rushed over, picked up Ai Lin and spun around a few times before stopping!

"I succeeded Ai Lin! I found a simple way to lift the Dragon Clan’s curse!"

Long Yi, with messy hair, shouted excitedly. However, he quickly noticed that Ai Lin’s smile didn’t seem to come from her heart.

"What happened, Ai Lin?" Long Yi asked, laying a hand on Ai Lin’s shoulder. But then he seemed to realize something and gave a bitter smile.

"You found out?"

"Yes."

Ai Lin pouted and nodded. (To be continued. If you like this novel, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
