Chapter 407 - 408: I’m Already Dead!
"The Savior?"
Aster Grant’s mind was firmly gripped by these three words, his gaze locked tightly onto the light screen.
In the once desperate scene, a dazzling golden figure...
like a light tearing through the darkness, suddenly descended!
The figure’s specific features were unclear, even its gender and race could not be distinguished.
Only a supreme aura, beyond comprehension and above all things, could be felt.
After his appearance, the raging Demonic Qi melted away like snow, and the collapsing defense line instantly stabilized.
The voice of the Dragon Emperor, carrying a hint of reverence, slowly arose:
"Yes, a true Savior."
"His arrival reversed the defeat, bringing a brief respite to this land."
The scene shifted, and the war entered a stalemate.
However, time remained the greatest enemy of the Pseudo-Gods.
The Elf Queen, who stood by the Dragon Emperor’s side till the end...
Even with the Law of Life, she ultimately could not resist the constraints of the world’s rules, and her life came to an end.
"Fortunately, with the Law of Life, the Elf Queen forcibly lived a second life!"
"But later, I heard the Elven Race was attacked by the Demon Clan, and she still fell!"
Upon hearing this, Aster Grant instantly realized...
The catastrophe the Elven Race suffered was during that time.
But how did the Demon Clan handle it in the end?
Aster Grant eagerly asked, "What happened next?"
However, the Dragon Emperor just shook his head:
"I don’t know. Many things the Savior did are beyond my scope of understanding."
"I only know that shortly after the Elf Queen fell, a great upheaval shook the entire Alternate Space."
"When everything calmed down, all the Demon Gods were sealed by some unimaginable Power, imprisoned in the deepest parts of the Demon Abyss."
Hearing this, Aster Grant was filled with curiosity about the mysterious Savior.
But at the same time, a huge question surfaced in his mind:
All the Pseudo-God powerhouses perished, so why uniquely did the Dragon Emperor...
survive that catastrophe, living even to this present day?
How did he endure these long years?
The Dragon Emperor seemed to perceive his thoughts, a complex and unfathomable smile appeared on his face.
"You are wondering why they all passed away, yet I alone remain, aren’t you?"
The Dragon Emperor’s voice was terrifyingly calm.
Aster Grant instinctively nodded.
The Dragon Emperor gazed at him, speaking each word clearly:
"The answer is simple! Because..."
"I have already died long ago."
"What?!"
These words exploded like heavenly thunder in Aster Grant’s mind!
He jerked his head up, pupils contracting violently, disbelief written all over his face!
Dead?
The Dragon Emperor said he had already died?
How could that be possible!
The sovereign of the Dragon Clan before him, whose aura was vast like the ocean, how could he be a dead man?!
The entire cavern fell into a deathly silence, a pin could be heard dropping.
Aster Grant could even hear the frenzied beating of his own heart.
The Dragon Emperor seemed satisfied with Aster Grant’s reaction, he continued in that calm, unruffled tone:
"That is also why, since Isabelle’s awakening, I have never dared, nor could I, face her."
His gaze directed towards the cave entrance, filled with deep apology:
"As long as we meet, with her current strength, she would instantly perceive my anomaly."
"I... don’t want her to face this cruel truth, nor do I want her to endure the pain of losing her father just upon awakening."
To prove his words were not false, the Dragon Emperor slowly raised his hand.
In the next moment, under Aster Grant’s horrified gaze, the Dragon Emperor’s seemingly solid body began to turn transparent, insubstantial!
As if shedding a layer of clothing, revealing the inner truth!
Where was there any flesh and blood body?!
Presenting before Aster Grant was a contour formed by countless interwoven, extremely complex chains of Law!
The Power Law, Space Law, Time Law, Dragon Clan essence...
All these immensely powerful Laws were forcibly fused together in an incredible manner, barely maintaining the Dragon Emperor’s form!
"This... this..."
Aster Grant opened his mouth, yet found himself unable to make any sound.
The scene before him completely overturned his understanding!
To use Laws as bones, condensing a figure, what a defying method is this?
This requires what kind of terrifying Realm and understanding of Laws to accomplish?
And what kind of existence accomplished all this?
The Dragon Emperor waved his hand again, the Laws faded, and he returned to his majestic and real appearance, as if everything earlier was just an illusion.
"Now, do you understand?"
The Dragon Emperor looked at Aster Grant, who had not yet recovered from the shock, "Hearing all this, what do you think?"
Aster Grant took several deep breaths, barely suppressing the storm in his heart.
He forced himself to calm down.
Then a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes, he eagerly asked:
"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor! According to what you said, the Demon Clan was sealed by that Savior."
"Can we not find him? If he can intervene again, wouldn’t the current crisis be easily resolved?"
This was the most direct and effective method!
However, the Dragon Emperor slowly shook his head, shattering Aster Grant’s illusions:
"Impossible to find. The Savior... is no longer here."
"After completing that ancient and unparalleled sealing, he completely disappeared, with no one knowing his whereabouts, not even his life or death."
"Perhaps, such a great existence never belonged to our time and space."
The last spark of hope was extinguished, Aster Grant’s mood instantly sank to the bottom.
The Savior disappeared, the Elf Queen fell, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor had long perished, and now was merely a shell of Laws...
Looking across the entire Alternate Space, who else could confront those ten Demon Gods head-on?
An unprecedented sense of powerlessness gripped Aster Grant’s heart.
The Dragon Emperor looked at Aster Grant’s changing expression and calmly spoke:
"Child, time is running short, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask me."
...
Meanwhile, in the Demon Domain.
The true form of the Demon God Valley had completely descended here.
He greedily breathed in the remnants of pure Demonic Qi in this world, devouring them all.
After completing this, the spiritual power of the Demon God Valley, containing endless destructive intent, began to scan the entire Alternate Space.
He was perceiving, perceiving those scattered Divine Patterns!
A moment later, his crimson lips curled into a determined smile.
"Most of the Divine Pattern fluctuations... have gathered in one place?"
"Dragon Island?"
"Hehe... it seems that old fellow plans to make a last stand?"
"Very well, it saves me from searching one by one."
"Let’s begin with Dragon Island, and completely expand the Demon Abyss’s territory over this world!"
Before the words were finished, the figure of the Demon God Valley had already vanished from the spot.
The next moment, a terrifying pressure that darkened the heavens advanced toward Dragon Island!
