Chapter 956 - 942: Shockwaves

Su Muyao trembled violently at these words, as if struck by lightning.

Her eyelashes fluttered hard, her eyes widening; she could hardly believe it.

"Are you talking to me?" Su Muyao’s heartbeat sped up uncontrollably.

Thump, thump, thump—she could feel her heart about to leap out of her chest.

He was clearly right in front of her, yet his voice carried a faraway aura, as though it came from the depths of time and space, stirring ripples in one’s soul.

"Mm, I’m talking to you. There’s no one else here."

Su Muyao was even more shocked, but this time she heard him clearly.

She met his incomparably beautiful, all-embracing gaze, and her Heart String quivered violently.

Across the endless ages, he had seen her—and he was speaking to her.

He should be Di Fu Yuan.

Only, endless ages ago, he did not know her.

Or rather, at that time, she had not yet appeared.

But no matter what, he had seen her.

After the shock passed, Su Muyao felt an urge to cry.

Her eyes grew faintly red. "You can see me, and I can talk to you—that’s so good."

He looked at her reddened eyes, which seemed to mist over, and stretched out a long, jade-like hand, as if wanting to wipe them for her.

But his fingers passed straight through her body; he couldn’t touch her at all.

They were clearly so close, yet they couldn’t make contact.

Su Muyao hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, "You’re right, we’re separated by a very long span of time. I came to the Dragon Palace Ruins later on, and only after touching the Hongmeng Ruins Bone Spirit Flower did I see this scene and see you."

He said softly, "Little girl, don’t cry."

"But what happened in the future? The Dragon Palace Ruins... is the Dragon Palace no longer there?"

As he spoke, an even more powerful aura spread from him, and the dragon robe on his body billowed without wind.

Su Muyao remained silent, not knowing how to answer him.

If she told him, he would be sad, wouldn’t he?

Su Muyao would not lie in front of Di Fu Yuan, so for a moment she had no idea what to say.

Just from her silent expression and look, he had already guessed something.

He murmured, "So everything is gone, isn’t it? The clansmen, the Dragon Palace, all no longer exist."

At this moment, his voice carried an ethereal air, tinged with a note of sorrow.

Just hearing it made one’s chest ache involuntarily.

"I don’t know exactly what happened either. Don’t be sad. Those Hongmeng Ruins Bone Spirit Flowers... do they preserve the souls of the Dragon Clan Beastmen?"

If the souls were preserved, then there had to be a way to resurrect them.

Back then, Yue Wuhen had gone to every length to condense his soul.

The Dragon Clan Beastmen could, too.

"I just don’t know what exactly happened to make the Dragon Palace become like that."

She also didn’t know why she would see this particular moment in time.

But being able to see Di Fu Yuan still made her very happy.

Di Fu Yuan’s pair of stunning peach blossom eyes flickered slightly. "The Hongmeng Ruins Bone Spirit Flower, is it?"

"I didn’t expect I would end up using such a Forbidden Secret Technique to preserve the souls of the clansmen."

"So something extremely grave must have happened, to the extent that even I could not protect the clansmen."

Preserving the souls of the clansmen was a Secret Technique that only the Dragon King could perform.

Other Dragon Clan Beastmen could not use such a Secret Technique.

Because it required a powerful Power as support and also needed to draw upon Heavenly Dao Power.

Only at a moment of great life-and-death crisis for the clan would he use the Forbidden Secret Technique.

It seemed something important had happened here.

Su Muyao looked at him with a serious expression and said, "Since their souls were preserved, is there any way to resurrect them?"

"If a Sea God appears, can they be resurrected then?"

If it required a Sea God to appear, then once Wei Jinmo became Sea God, that would work.

He shook his head. "It’s not that simple."

"Since you call me ’big brother,’ and my reincarnated self in the future has given you the Dragon Race Key, clearly at that time I appeared before you."

"When the time is ripe, he will obtain the inherited memories and will naturally tell you the method."

Su Muyao’s gaze dimmed; she wished she could resurrect the Dragon Clan Beastmen right away.

"Little girl, don’t worry, don’t be sad. We will meet again."

Su Muyao said, "But at that time, your Dragon Body had been taken, and only a few wisps of soul remained. I don’t know how to help you."

"And I don’t know where that Dragon Body was sent by the Destructive Black Lotus."

At these words, his expression grew solemn. "Whether it’s the Dragon Body or the Dragon Bone, they must not fall into others’ hands."

He himself knew how powerful a Pure-blooded Dragon Clan Beastman was.

With Secret Techniques using Dragon Body and Dragon Bone, many heaven-defying effects could be brought forth.

"I will not allow others to obtain the Dragon Clan’s remains."

Even if something happened to the Dragon Palace, he would still seal this place and entomb the clansmen’s remains here, not letting anyone obtain them.

Only his destined wife, holding the Dragon Race Key, could open this place.

Just from a few simple words, he had already pieced together some facts and understood what would happen in the Beast World’s future.

Su Muyao explained, "It’s said those remains were transmitted by the Destructive Black Lotus to the Fusang Forest—that’s where the Plant-type Beastmen live."

"I don’t even know what the Destructive Black Lotus wants to do. Is there any way to eliminate it?"

What Su Muyao hated most was the Destructive Black Lotus.

He said, "The Destructive Black Lotus and the Creation Green Lotus are things that mutually generate and restrain each other. As long as Creation Power exists, Destructive Power will also exist, unless..."

Unless what—he did not say, pausing for a moment.

He looked at the beautiful female before him, a deep glint flashing in his eyes, as if tinged with pity and helplessness.

"No matter what happens in the Beast World, don’t be sad. Take good care of yourself, and make yourself a bit happier."

He gazed at her deeply, as if seeing many things through her.

Meeting his eyes at this moment, Su Muyao only felt that they seemed to hold a look of tender ache. Why?

She wanted to ask more, but right then the entire Dragon Palace suddenly began to shake.

"Ah... what’s happening?"

"I don’t know. Everything was fine—why did it suddenly start shaking?"

"It’s a seabed tsunami."

"Impossible. Our King is suppressing this place. This is where the Hongmeng Sea’s origin power lies; a tsunami is impossible, and there won’t be any sea turbulence..."

"Ah... it’s black gas, why is black gas pouring out?"

"No, it’s pollution..."

Someone was invaded by the black gas and suddenly became violent; his eyes turned bloodshot, and he began attacking the surrounding Sea Clan Beastmen.

He had no rationality at all.

"What are these black gases?"

"Quick, block off these black gases."

Su Muyao’s expression changed. Looking at the black gas, she realized it was Dark Contaminated Air.

This Dark Contaminated Air was even more severe; once a Beastman made contact, they mutated and blackened directly.

It was more serious than the contamination in the Beast World as it existed now.

The Dragon King flicked his fingers, and a golden light descended, shrouding everything like a Barrier, protecting all the Beastmen within a Golden Light Shield.

Just then, the Dragon Guards who had been standing watch outside rushed over to report: "King, a strange Star Gate has opened outside. Alien Beastmen are trying to break into this place."

"And there is a Dark Petal."

Hearing this, the Dragon King said calmly, "It seems the Destructive Black Lotus has appeared."

As he spoke, he leaped up, flying out of the undersea Dragon Palace, breaking through the sea’s surface and appearing in the sky above the sea.

Su Muyao hurriedly followed to watch as well.
