Free Web NovelChapter 786: Chapter 379: Treasures and Square Arrays
"Is this even possible? This Empire has close ties with demons, so there might truly be a way to leverage the power of Ignis."
Agni frowned slightly: "This information is useful for my investigation, thank you. Here’s the deal, this avatar has limited power, and my main duty is to ascertain the state of Ignis, so I can’t help you confront the Empire. However, I will burn any Imperial influence I encounter along the way."
"Then, when you face off against the Empire, if you run into a thorny situation, you can call on me for assistance, and yes, I mean my true form."
The burly Flame Man clenched his fist with a crackle, his flame eyes shining with a dragon-like red glow, exuding a hint of murderous intent that made one’s hair stand on end.
"I haven’t had the chance to stretch out in a while, I’m really looking forward to a serious opportunity."
"With the awakening of the Great Spirit, the true forms of the Six Dragons will have more chances to soar the skies, right?" Li Ang asked.
"Indeed. If the world were to reshape, the gods could freely walk the earth. However, that’s no longer possible."
"If that’s the case, we will certainly do our part."
After Li Ang spoke, Livi jumped onto his back, clinging to him with joy.
Agni chuckled and said to Li Ang: "Not bad for a mortal. As a Dragon God, I can’t let you work for nothing. Here’s my gift."
He casually shattered the dimension, retrieving an item from the rift before sealing it again.
With a nonchalant toss, the Fire Dragon threw the item to Li Ang, and while still in mid-air, its dazzling brilliance illuminated the entire room.
"What is this?!" Li Ang caught it in surprise, feeling his spirit and the surrounding magic power subtly influenced by this object.
It was a piece of gold that could be described as perfect.
The arc, the sheen, the flawless surface radiated a golden light interlaced with stunning crimson. No one would doubt this as one of the world’s greatest treasures; they would only exhaust every means to obtain it, to claim its power for themselves.
"Li Ang, come back to your senses."
Livi’s cool hand pressed against his cheek, snapping Li Ang back to reality.
"Ah, sorry."
He felt a surge of various desires not only for possession but also other urges, even hunger.
Yes, the gold was so perfect that he wanted to eat it just to claim it.
He noticed someone reaching out beside him—Zoe and Dorothy. The former admired it like a perfect gemstone among small pebbles, while the latter, inherently driven by desire, had completely transformed into a figure of greed.
On the other side, ALulu was drooling slightly, while Andasu seemed frozen, as if recalling something.
Similar to Andasu were Meimei and Farina; both seemed lost in thought due to the gold.
Only Livi and Anna showed no reaction, the former likely familiar with such things due to her status, and the latter not relying on such objects at all, hence feeling nothing.
Seems I’m not the only one overwhelmed; there are even more outrageous ones. Li Ang suddenly felt a bit relieved.
[Divine Crimson Gold]
[The ultimate substance containing the power of the Creator God, the crimson on it is the afterglow of creation’s primal force, capable of substituting any material, even in fragments, it is perfect material]
[Tier: 10]
[Spirituality: Building of World]
[Contained Law: Creation Law]
[Purpose: All approaches to achieving the ultimate rely on it]
Completely outrageous.
Li Ang was tenfold certain that this was Nebis’s highest-grade material.
Though he knew its name from the description of [Refined Source Steel Block], holding the tangible piece in his hand, the feeling of being shaken by such a pinnacle item was indescribable.
"Haha! It’s a fine thing, isn’t it!"
Agni proudly said: "Ruined one of your steel grains, consider this compensation."
"It’s too valuable, thank you for the Dragon God’s gift." Li Ang would certainly not refuse; he had to accept it.
Besides, the Dragon God probably had plenty of these.
He glanced at Livi with anticipation.
I wonder if the Sea Serpent Ancestor remembers a treasure vault filled with Divine Crimson Gold?
The pink-haired little girl tilted her head, clueless.
"Of course it’s valuable, it’s called Divine Crimson Gold, with power from the Creator God. The Primordial Beings once crazily plundered such gold blocks, but due to their profligacy, they later had to seek substitutes through refined source material."
Agni grandly waved his hand: "This is just a down payment for participating in the revival of the Great Spirit."
"Wow! Thank you, Dragon God!"
Even the young girls who snapped back to reality beamed with joy.
Not to mention using up the Divine Crimson Gold, just looking at it brings happiness.
If walls were built from these gold bricks, life would truly be blissful.
"Truly befitting of a god, not at all like a rabbit rolling on the ground for a toy!" Someone murmured.
"Alas, Akuya is like that; aside from Inanna, this dragon is the most generous among the Six Dragons!" The Fire Dragon shared the Water Dragon’s narcissism.
"Hmm, and then—"
Agni looked at Livi and Anna: "I’ll also help you both become stronger faster!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a fiery apparition rose behind him, revealing the crimson-gold form of a giant dragon.
Although I had already seen the true form of the Fire Dragon through Farina’s magic illusion and the Pure Demon Statue, this was entirely different from His avatar personally manifesting power.
As the flames surged upwards, the Power of Dragon so intense that it made the entire ship shake slightly also rose.
Agni compressed the Power of Dragon, directly forming two Dragon Factors, which flew towards the two girls transformed from Snake Dragons.
Their eyes, due to the proximity of pure dragon power, took on dragon features, with Anna’s Star Soul Eyes showing dragon spine patterns at the edges of the cross-like light, while Livi’s eyes revealed the Dragon’s Vertical Pupil.
The Dragon Factors fused into their bodies, causing both of them to tremble all over, unable to maintain their human forms and reverting back to their dragon shapes.
The Earth Serpent coiled its body, rapidly growing larger and shedding its skin. Some of the shed snake skin clattered down, transforming into gemstones, while most condensed into chunks of earth, clearly Earth Attribute material.
As the snake skin slipped off like a mountain collapse, sharp peaks rose from the center of each golden scale, making it appear more like a high-tier lifeform like a dragon, rather than the smooth surface of a serpent.
Its dragon horns extended further in growth; now, no one would mistake her for a serpent, even without legs, as the crown-like dragon horns unmistakably revealed her essence.
However, Leviathan, being the Dragon Ancestor, wouldn’t undergo any dramatic changes. On the contrary, the true form of her body suddenly expanded, the growth far exceeding that of the Earth Serpent. She no longer seemed like a little dragon; her size was now comparable to a giant serpent.
The two Snake Dragons reverted to human form. Li Ang observed that their human forms had also grown slightly, though they still retained the appearance of young girls, unlike the significant change in dragon form.
"Thank you, Agni. This is quite important to me right now," Livi waved her hand.
"Well, it’s time for me to go!"
The Fire Dragon, true to its name, was fiery and swift, not lingering a moment longer once the task was done.
Farina immediately stood up, and Li Ang followed to see him off.
As they left the cabin, Agni spotted the armor racks by the exit.
"Oh? So, you have connected with the Great Spirit much earlier,"
"How so?" Li Ang asked in surprise.
Agni pointed to the outermost set of light armor, Zoe’s Cursed Swordsman’s Armor.
"The power on it, isn’t it that of Grasis? As well as these few items,"
The Fire Dragon also indicated the Blue Crystal Armor, Mermaid Robe, and Nether Lamp Shadow Suit among the equipment.
Curious.
Li Ang was somewhat puzzled as to why they possessed the power of the Great Star Soul of Water. These four sets of equipment were indeed Water Attribute; did they have something in common?
While he was lost in thought, the Fire Dragon looked him over: "So, you’re an artisan?"
"Yes, but I’m still improving my craft."
"Very well, then, Divine Crimson Gold will be put to its best use."
Li Ang still had a long way to go before he could fully utilize Divine Crimson Gold.
"To merge with the power connected to Grasis, what materials did you use?" asked the Fire Dragon.
Materials? Do materials matter? If there was something in common, it was that they were all Array Equipment, made from a material Li Ang named Array Stone.
He took out a Rain Pattern Stone and said to Agni, "I discovered while crafting equipment that adding this stone can give them a special connection to each other."
"Oh?"
The Dragon God took the Rain Pattern Stone, weighing it: "It has Grasis’ power, but it’s very faint."
"I discovered that a series of stones seem to be connected to each other."
Li Ang displayed the various array stones in his possession to the Fire Dragon: Lightweight Stone and Windcall Stone of Wind Attribute, Hard Stone and Earth Core Stone of Earth Attribute, and Spark Stone and Blazing Stone of Fire Attribute, all mixed together in a delightful jumble.
The description of these stones on the interface was similar, and they also had levels of power, showing they originated from the same extraordinary source.
"Your understanding is correct. These special stones are likely formed by the convergence of the Great Spirits’ powers after they went dormant."
These array stones were, in fact, the "flesh and blood" of the Great Spirits.
No wonder they could form a square array; they were inherently connected.
The most basic Water Array Stone Water Mist Stone was also the material Li Ang first used when he saw true information with the system.
Destiny’s connections are indeed quite wondrous, he thought to himself.
This way, aiding the recovery of the Great Star Soul was all the more imperative. They might significantly enhance the power of Array Equipment, which would be immensely valuable for the Star Flower Travel Corps that could stabilize their creation.
"We’ve been wearing Array Equipment all this time, and it turns out it’s the power of the Great Star Soul?" Zoe and the girls were also surprised, looking their equipment over as if trying to get reacquainted with them.
The Fire Dragon laughed aloud twice, patting Li Ang on the shoulder, almost knocking him over with his immense strength.
"That’s destiny! Sometimes, subtle opportunities can lead to profound impacts on the world! Onward, to forge the extraordinary out of the ordinary!"
Agni strode out of the cabin onto the deck, transforming into a flame and disappearing into the sky.
"Does the Dragon God also need to fly to move?" Dorothy asked Farina.
The young girls, having witnessed the Annihilation Star Soul tearing through dimensions to open a Teleportation Gate and the Eyes of God operating interdimensionally during their battle in the City of the Ship’s Rudder, wondered why the Divine Spirit didn’t similarly traverse the air freely.
"The Dragon God relies on the miraculous facilities within the Divine Hall to manifest human form avatars; when they travel this way, they conserve bodily power, making it the most energy-efficient method," Farina explained.
"No wonder the Jellyfish Dragon has vanished, probably exhausted its strength at Shipbuilding Island to aid us," Zoe remarked.
The Dragon Witch nodded, pointing far off into the distance: "We’re about to enter the air route too."
Here, one could already see other Flying Airships coming from all directions and the towering Wind Walls of the Aerial Realm, with the entrance to the air route into the Ignis Sky Realm right ahead.
