Chapter 617: Chapter 349: The Quest of Dragon Village (Double-Length)
Using the Bloodline’s power of [Foresight], they enabled Dragon Village to evade near extinction crises multiple times, earning great prestige within Dragon Village.
Starry Dragon City was proposed by the Dragon of Foresight.
They used the power of [Foresight] long ago to foresee a future "inevitable disaster."
This crisis could nearly lead to the destruction of Dragon Village, wiping it off the face of the earth.
Only Duntemolin himself knew what his feelings were when he received this news from the Dragon of Foresight.
And here, another interesting matter must be mentioned.
The Dragon of Foresight initially only glimpsed the "inevitable disaster," but did not find the corresponding way to deal with it.
According to past experience, there are only two possibilities in such a situation: either it’s unsolvable, or it can’t be solved now and requires waiting.
But in the face of a crisis that could obliterate Dragon Village, no one can remain calm.
The Dragon of Foresight exhausted almost every possible means.
Finally, it received a strange hint, only three vague words.
Starry sky, pursuit, and... Black Tide.
The reason for the Black Tide can be set aside for now.
Despite being just three vague words.
But Duntemolin and most of the Giant Dragons instinctively believed the meaning and connection of this hint were "to pursue the Black Tide in the starry sky."
And here, another crucial matter must be mentioned.
That is... the ascension to True God.
As entities with a long history, having endured countless ages, Dragon Village’s accumulated knowledge encompasses many things, including this knowledge naturally.
And this knowledge, Duntemolin revealed completely to Rogel during conversations.
In short, in the main world where Dragon Village resides, there is currently no true True God, at most only pseudo-gods possessing the power of a True God.
Rogel’s previous assumptions were overly concerned, even the widely believed Yudona God, who controls a large number of believers, is at most a pseudo-god.
A True God can coexist with authority and control rules.
And the last known True God in the main world has already perished in the calamity of the Abyssal Sea Era, of course, this is another unknown piece of history.
Thus, True Gods do not manifest, and pseudo-gods are rampant.
And these pseudo-gods and demigods naturally wish to ascend to become more powerful True Gods.
Regrettably, compared to the ascension of Angels and demigods, the conditions for ascending to True God contain one more crucial element, which is... the Divine Opportunity.
The world’s provision of the Divine Opportunity.
Only when the world grants demigod creatures the active Divine Opportunity to ascend to True God can demigods or pseudo-gods ascend to become true deities.
Knowing this knowledge, and also aware of the future "inevitable disaster," Dragon Village involuntarily linked to a greatest possibility.
That is, the Divine Opportunity to ascend to True God might lie in... the starry sky.
After all, in the eyes of Duntemolin and the Ancient Dragons of the Ancient Dragon Nest, a crisis capable of extinguishing Dragon Village can only be achieved by an influence at the True God level...
Of course, they dare not be certain either.
How exactly to pursue it, what specific steps must be taken after pursuing success... these are not questions that three simple words alone can clarify.
For this, Dragon Village entered a long period of waiting.
Until one day, the Dragon of Foresight suddenly gave a specific answer, very clear.
Gather most of Dragon Village’s forces, elevate Starry Dragon City, concentrate Bloodline Power to draw in the Black Tide, thereby... ascending to True God!
After giving this answer, the only Dragon of Foresight in Dragon Village also completely perished.
After obtaining concrete methods.
Out of trust in the Dragon of Foresight, Dragon Village did not verify further, swiftly establishing one Starry Dragon City after another.
Soon, Starry Dragon City rose into the starry sky with most of Dragon Village’s living forces.
Moreover, to allow the next generation of Dragon Village to be bathed at the moment of Duntemolin’s deification, Dragon Village thoughtfully placed Dragon Eggs atop each Starry Dragon City...
Of course, from the outcome, this purely harmed themselves and their children...
With everything set in place.
The layout of Starry Dragon City was activated.
Indeed, the powerful Bloodline Power of the Giant Dragons attracted the Black Tide.
But it was not the Divine Opportunity to ascend to True God that Duntemolin and others imagined, rather... a formidable pseudo-god from the starry sky!
He wields the Power of Fear, bears endless corruption, each breath erodes life, terrifying beyond measure.
For a starry sky buffet delivered to him, he was naturally unsparingly voracious.
At this moment, Duntemolin realized something was amiss, and a terror-infused battle erupted, barely repelling him with the condensed Power of the Giant Dragon Bloodline.
Yet Duntemolin, although realizing something wasn’t right, could only say...
Realized, but not fully realized...
He believed some component was flawed, causing such an outcome.
Perhaps there weren’t enough Starry Dragon Cities.
Thus, he sent a signal again to the Ancient Dragon Nest to elevate more Starry Dragon Cities.
Subsequently, Duntemolin attempted once more.
The results were predictable.
This time, Duntemolin suffered even worse, paying a severe price, his life endangered.
Yet he did not choose to return to Dragon Village.
He believed the timing wasn’t right, that he still needed to wait... essentially never questioning the accuracy of the Dragon of Foresight’s information.
...until today, until Rogel’s arrival.
Suddenly realizing everything, Duntemolin awoke from a dream, dazed, naturally not having any reason to continue staying in the starry sky waiting to die.
Dragon Village has existed for ages and is so powerful, resulting in their innate arrogance, believing no other life could threaten Dragon Village aside from a True God.
And just such arrogance led Dragon Village to suffer such colossal misfortune.
It’s no wonder it’s called "inevitable disaster"...
"..."
Rogel said nothing, closing his eyes and rubbing his brow.
Undoubtedly, the prediction information from the Dragon of Foresight had been tampered with by the Extreme Night Stars, thereby misleading Dragon Village’s response to the crisis and trajectory.
And this corresponded with the phrase "inevitable disaster."
Duntemolin and the Ancient Dragon Nest racked their brains in crisis response, yet ultimately nearly outwitted themselves by their own methods.
It all seemed predestined, coincidental, absurd, yet inevitable.
Fate, undoubtedly, toys with people this way, especially in such a Mysterious World.
Clarifying the situation on Dragon Village’s side.
Rogel became concerned about a more important issue.
Black Tide... could it actually refer to him?
Currently, Dragon Village hasn’t been completely destroyed, isn’t it precisely because of his intervention?
If viewed like this, he might indeed be the "Black Tide" mentioned by the Dragon of Foresight.
Seemingly aware of Rogel’s thoughts, Duntemolin also looked at him, solemnly saying, "...Now I realize, perhaps the pursuit of Black Tide in the prediction has another meaning..."
"No wonder the Dragon of Foresight called Uvie Muzhe to talk separately before departing..."
Rogel’s use of Heisatan’s power is quite evident, the characteristics of Black Tide resembling that starry sky entity, yet different.
But both can be termed Black Tide.
Perhaps that’s why the Extreme Night Stars were able to mislead Dragon Village.
Because indeed another "Black Tide" exists in the starry sky...
’After being duped so badly, you still believe in prophecy?’
Hearing Duntemolin’s words, Rogel unintentionally muttered under his breath.
Yet muttering aside, he naturally understood the meaning in Duntemolin’s words.
In this case, it might actually be possible.
Perhaps the foresight of the Dragon of Foresight wasn’t "to pursue the Black Tide in the starry sky," but rather "fall from the starry sky, pursue the Black Tide"...
Moments later, Rogel slightly shrugged, not pursuing the matter further, realizing it was quite far-fetched, given the numerous sentences that could be formed from those three words.
"Let’s talk more when we return, don’t die in this tunnel."
Rogel glanced at Duntemolin.
In the realm outside, his power’s depletion rate increased rapidly.
