Chapter 177: The Tomb That Buried Ten Thousand Dragons, Leaving the Place That Broke His Heart!
"Jiang Chen~ you~"
At this moment, the Ascending Dragon Pillar transformed into a slender dragon staff, falling into Na'er's hand.
She tried spinning it like her Silver Dragon Spear, merging her martial soul with the Ascending Dragon Pillar.
Feeling the immense power contained within it, even though she couldn't fully wield it, just tapping into a fraction already benefited her enormously.
Under the influence of the Silver Dragon Spear, the Ascending Dragon Pillar began forming sharp tips at both ends, taking on the exact same shape as the spear itself.
Super Divine Tool—Ascending Dragon Pillar: Silver Dragon Spear.
As the object that carried all the essence of the dragon race, the Ascending Dragon Pillar could naturally transform into corresponding dragon forms.
At this moment, Na'er could feel incomparable strength—just a single thought, and she could ascend to godhood.
But she suppressed that impulse.
Her eyes complicated, she looked at Jiang Chen, then the Silver Dragon Spear shattered, merging into her body.
The Ascending Dragon Pillar now temporarily fell under her control.
Perhaps now, she could truly duel Gu Yue as an equal.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Being stared at that way made Jiang Chen feel a tingling all over his body.
"What did she obtain?"
Na'er knew that what she held wasn't what she'd sensed earlier—but even so, the power was this strong. She could only imagine what Gu Yue must have regained.
"Oh, that's the Dragon God's Heart—the essence left behind by the Dragon God himself."
Na'er fell silent for a moment, lost in thought, then suddenly asked:
"Why… why are you so good to me?"
He had given her a Super Divine Tool, even a god position.
Even a birth mother wouldn't go that far.
He didn't even have one himself.
Na'er felt uneasy if she didn't at least try to see what was going on in his mind.
"I'm not as bad as you think!"
He had said those words countless times already.
But Na'er's purple eyes remained calm and unreadable as she looked at him.
"Fine… I want to become a god."
Na'er replied, "I can't do that."
"You're pretty honest," Jiang Chen said, rubbing his forehead.
"Do you really need a reason for everything?"
"Mm."
Jiang Chen looked her up and down. Unlike Gu Yue, who dressed "plainly," Na'er had always been delicate and beautiful since childhood.
Though still young, she was budding into a stunning woman, her long silver hair flowing behind her, the red inner court uniform emphasizing her exquisite, flawless features.
He couldn't understand why, as fellow dragons, Gu Yue made herself look so "ordinary."
He didn't dare to ask, let alone speak of it.
"Then give me a child."
"Alright!"
"No—what the hell!? I don't even think of you that way!"
His deal with Gu Yue, which allowed Na'er to survive for now, was already the limit.
If he so much as touched Na'er, he had no doubt Gu Yue would flay him alive.
Falling in love with time?
Jiang Chen was sure he lacked that kind of skill.
"Forget it, do as you like. I just hope you can be yourself."
It would be best if she were forever separate from Gu Yue.
Na'er watched Jiang Chen's departing figure, clutching at her clothes, her fists trembling. Though she had agreed so calmly a moment ago, her heart was far from steady.
"Where did you go? You went to her, didn't you?"
Gu Yue looked at Jiang Chen as he approached, frowning slightly.
Feeling the sharp, blade-like gaze, Jiang Chen sighed helplessly. "She's you."
"I am me, and she is still me!"
That sounded a bit contradictory, but Jiang Chen understood—it simply meant, "Everything is yours."
He shrugged.
"It's over, shall we go?"
"Let's check whether the phoenix was captured. If not, maybe lend a hand."
Though Jiang Chen had taken leave and didn't want to waste any more energy, he couldn't just leave the mission unfinished.
He only hoped that when he returned, the event would be over.
Most importantly, he didn't want Gu Yue and Na'er running into each other.
Now Gu Yue had the Dragon God's Heart, while Na'er had the Ascending Dragon Pillar.
Though Gu Yue was the main body, at least she couldn't instantly obliterate Na'er or absorb her.
If she found out Jiang Chen was meddling behind her back, it would be another mess entirely.
At this point, the phrase "both pity and fear your brother's struggle, yet dread him when he flourishes" had become reality.
Of course, Gu Yue wasn't his brother—
And he couldn't even define their relationship now.
Comrades? Hardly.
The Silver Dragon King likely still saw him as nothing more than a subordinate.
"Let's go."
Now that the Dragon God's Heart was in her hands—and she had found the surprise dragon egg—she no longer wished to stay in this place that filled her with sorrow.
If she couldn't have it, then she would simply leave.
She split open space itself and departed with Jiang Chen.
Dragon Clan Tomb.
Nearly drained of all its energy, stripped of countless dragon bones, the tomb was left behind as they vanished gracefully.
Truly, worthy of being the Empress of Soul Beasts.
Though the Dragon Clan Tomb had no full consciousness, a faint wisp of dragon awareness had awakened.
After the Soul Beast monarch left, the tomb made a quick decision—to leave the Douluo Plane.
Yes, to leave!
If it didn't, it feared its existence would soon vanish entirely. So it roamed the cosmos in search of a new resting place for dragonkind.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
"It's close! Almost there!"
The group from Shrek Academy, following the dragons' traces, were about to set foot inside the true Dragon Clan Tomb.
But in the next instant—a thunderous roar erupted.
The entire tomb began to quake violently, like the end of the world itself. Darkness swallowed the heavens.
"What in the world is happening?"
Everyone's expressions changed to terror. The sight before them nearly froze their hearts.
They hadn't even returned yet—if the world collapsed now, would they all die here?
Dai Lingyu quickly grabbed Dai Yanyue beside him.
"Brother, what should we do!?"
"Stay calm! Calm down!"
Dai Yanyue forced himself to remain steady—but who could truly stay calm in this situation?
"Na'er, where did you go just now?"
Seeing Na'er returning with her hands in her pockets, long legs striding steadily forward, Dai Yanyue finally lost his composure.
If this continued, they might all be buried here.
"Let's go."
Na'er ignored Dai Yanyue's anger, remaining cool and collected.
She didn't fully understand why the Dragon Clan Tomb had become this way, but she could guess—
Gu Yue taking the Dragon God's Heart, and she taking the Ascending Dragon Pillar.
She could feel the tomb's sorrow and helplessness.
As for anger?
Everything taken was by their own kind—by half their lord, no less.
Who could it appeal to for justice?
The chaos around them wasn't destruction, but bottled rage—the tomb's expression of silent fury.
Oh, and there was an outlet for that anger.
At that very moment, all of the tomb's hatred turned toward Shrek Academy.
Everyone: ?
Don't do this!
Other than Na'er, no one else knew what had happened. They were utterly baffled.
