Chapter 428 The Dragon Death and the Past of Ancient Gods

"The Tomb of Chronippus?"

Ron frowned, chewed the name carefully, and then said with some uncertainty:

"You mean this place is related to the disappearing dragon Death?"

Chronippus is an extremely ancient name, and his existence is not even recorded in ordinary dragon traditions.

In the inherited memory of Ron's rainbow dragon, the origin of this ancient dragon god can even be traced back to the original gods at the beginning of the star world!

As we all know, before the star realm appeared, the endless void already existed.

The ancient gods were actually born much earlier than the star realm.

It was an ancient era that was not even recorded in time.

In that chaotic space where time and space were not separated, where life and death had no boundaries, and where heaven and earth blended together, countless terrifying dark ancient gods and wild gods were wandering in the void.

It's like a game world. No matter how weak or powerful the beings living in it are, they are all cheating players who will never die.

Although this kind of world is boring, it can be considered harmonious - after all, no matter how hard you fight, no one will die, so there are very few disputes.

In order to develop alternative concepts of "death", some original beings even contributed to the birth of ancient gods similar to Cthulhu who were good at spiritual pollution.

But all of this is considered to be acting within the rules of the void.

But as if destined, after an unknown amount of time in this era of chaos, a god whose strength far surpassed the other ancient gods and wild gods was finally born.

The name of this god was AO, which later became the famous god Ao.

Io has mastered the unprecedented power of runes. He is so powerful that not even the oldest demon can compete with him.

This almost crushing situation was relieved after he cut himself in order to create the star world. It was only after that that the Lord of Terror found an opportunity and successfully split Io's body, which indirectly led to the creation of the Good and Evil Dragon God: Ti. The birth of Yamat and Bahamut.

Ahem, that's a bit far-fetched.

In short, Io's twelve runes are the source of his power and the initial cornerstone of the creation of the star world.

And the void, this strange living space, has also undergone great changes after the god Io created the star world.

You must know that before Io, there was no concept of life and death in the world. All wild gods and ancient gods were eternal existences. Even if their bodies and spirits were destroyed, they would be resurrected and returned countless years later.

And the first thing this god-god did when he created the star world was to bestow life and death on all things.

This includes the Ancient God and the Wild God!

And this move also successfully angered almost all the gods and demon gods. How can the ancient gods who are accustomed to immortality allow themselves to be defined by others like a blank sheet of paper?

Thus, this unprecedented battle for creation began.

And the result of this divine war, which could almost be called a "tragic" level, ended with 99% of the old gods being crushed into pieces by the power of Io's runes.

The dead ancient gods turned into the nourishment of the new star realm, helping to further improve its rules.

And those lucky few ancient gods who survived the battle were forced to enter the star realm under the majesty of this god, and "actively contribute" their own strength.

Chronippus is one of the surviving ancient gods in this context.

Unlike other ancient gods who passively entered the star realm, Chronippus, who is proficient in the power of fate and time, saw the inevitable fall of the ancient gods as early as the birth of the star realm.

So he took the initiative to find Io and proposed cooperation, and entered the situation with his own body, becoming one of the very few "surrenderers" in the ancient god camp who actively dedicated his life to enter the star realm.

And the facts also proved that His choice was an extremely wise decision.

As we all know, the ancient gods do not have specific forms. They are more like a combination of concepts, which is one of the reasons why they are immortal.

But this situation is not recognized by Io, and therefore, after every ancient god enters the star realm, whether voluntarily or forced, he must reveal his image under Io's rules, which is what the world calls [face].

As an absolute "Io fanatic"

After Chronippus entered the star realm, he chose the image of a true dragon that was closest to Io's appearance without any hesitation as his own appearance.

His external form is that of a colorless dragon without any luster on his body, which marks that he is outside the struggle between chromatic dragons and metal dragons (and all dragon species).

(According to the records of a certain iridescent dragon ancestor, the power dragon, which also has a transparent body, actually has its own color, and the colors are different, but this dragon god is absolutely colorless)

Because of this, He obtained the three major priesthoods of [Destiny], [Planning], and [Time] (the only one at the time), as well as countless branches of the priesthood (not the only one), including [Destiny], [Death], and [Judgment]. ).

Because of this, Chronippus, who mastered the priesthood of death, became the undisputed god of death of the dragon clan at that time, and also earned the title [Dragon Death God].

Chronippus is the dispassionate observer of the world, and he assesses all true dragons when they die, deciding where their souls should go after death.

Unlike Landis, another dragon god who holds the priesthood of judgment, Chronippus is not interested in justice: he only observes what is and is not, and uses this as a boundary to complete his mission as the dragon god of death. (Sounds like a ruthless beater!)

He is also incomprehensibly dissociated from any living activity, and is committed to remaining so. (Master (crossed out) Io’s mission is nothing more)

Although he only possesses weak divine power on the surface.

But there is no doubt that Chronippus, who has so many extraordinary priesthoods, is enough to rank among the top three in the entire history of the Dragon God in terms of real combat power!

In fact, this Dragon God doesn't care about faith, nor does he care about developing believers. He doesn't even care about the intrigues among the gods and their calculations against himself. He just does his job silently for tens of thousands of years.

But such a powerful dragon god with such an extraordinary status that even the good and evil dragon gods respected him and called him "senior" has now disappeared into the waves of history like a flower in the mirror.

No one knows where Chronippus went.

People only know that one hundred thousand years after the death of Io and the birth of the Good and Evil Dragon God, this dragon god who could be called a hermit suddenly disappeared in his divine kingdom.

If the rules set by Io were followed, this ancient dragon god who had lost all his faith would undoubtedly be dead, but anyone who knew about it would not think that the wise dragon god would die so easily.

People are more willing to believe that this ancient god who has never been injured since the age of the void has broken away from the shackles of the star world and has re-entered the void to enjoy the tranquility of freedom.

As far as Ron knows, among the current Dragon Clan, the Death Priest already has another owner.

Its new owner, another dragon god: Farazul also replaced Chronippus early and became the new dragon god of death.

However, compared with the hidden dragon Chronippus who lives in harmony with the world, Farazul, the new dragon god of death, is not a peaceful master.

His most famous event in the star world is that as a neutral camp dragon god, he actually actively participated in the creation of the original undead dragons, such as dracolich, vampire dragon and ghost dragon, which were expelled from the ordinary dragon clan. The dragon exists, and it also has an unclear relationship with Tiamat, the mother of five-colored dragons.

But those things were too far away from Ron.

He just wants to know urgently how the strange space he is currently in is related to the disappeared dragon god of death.
