Chapter 404: Confrontation with the Dragon King, Choosing the Future

The majestic voice was like thunder, and Chu Ming's consciousness that was about to sink into darkness was instantly awakened.

He opened his eyes and looked up. In the sky, countless golden chains pierced the bones of the Black Scale Dragon King and pinned him to the platform.

The sky was dim and colorful, and the phantom light outside the magic shield changed like a storm, turning the false sky upside down. In the chaos, the six-wheeled sun shone with scorching light, gradually magnifying and scorching the earth.

Chu Ming's eyes narrowed, "No, these are not the sun, they are the eyes of a dragon!"

The magic shield rippled, and in three directions of the floating continent, dragon claws as big as mountains grabbed the land, either ferocious, or smooth scales reflected the entire continent like a mirror in the sky.

"Herbert, you have violated a taboo!"

The golden scales of the dragon head in the middle shone dazzlingly, as if the whole body was made of gold. The words came out and rain fell, setting off a storm over the continent.

Herbert, the black-scaled dragon king, was bound by golden chains. He raised his head and said coldly: "Her Highness Isabel is not something that humans can touch. She must give birth to the purest eternal life with the dragon clan instead of letting humans pollute her noble bloodline."

To the left of Chu Ming, the scales of a dragon head that is as big as a continent are smooth and gorgeous, like the reflection of the colorful sea, blue and pure, sometimes rough and sometimes calm.

The blue dragon said calmly: "Your Highness Isabel's will does not depend on you."

On the right side of Chu Ming, the flames were raging, burning the sky red, and the fiery red scales were flowing with eternal magma flames. Facing the dragon's head, the violent and raging fire could burn the soul and destroy everything.

The fiery red dragon sneered: "Herbert, you have only lived for tens of thousands of years, and you are only a little older than me. How dare you confirm that your choice is correct."

Fenghua looked around, leaned on Chu Ming's shoulder and whispered: "These three are the dragon kings who followed Isabel to patrol the sky, the golden dragon king Narisu, the blue dragon king Romnai, and the hot dragon king Kuiuk."

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and said in surprise: "They are all back, so Isabel should be back too."

When Chu Ming heard this, he felt inexplicably nervous and looked up at the sky.

Black Scale Dragon King Herbert laughed and said: "Humans are just short-lived species that have lived for five hundred years. They have survived to this day relying on the residual power of the gods. They are nothing more than ants on the mainland."

As he said that, he used both hands to break free of the golden chain that shone with divine brilliance, and reached out to pinch Chu Ming.

"How can such ants deserve eternal life!"

Herbert's arrogance rose rapidly, and his body turned into black mist. It was like a boiling potion that kept bubbling and expanding. The black cloak that covered the sky spread out, dyeing the continent black.

In the darkness, a golden sun slowly rose from the platform. With endless indifference and majesty, the black dragon showed its true form. Its huge claws actually covered the Tongtian Mountains and fell straight to the platform.

Outside the mainland, when the three-headed dragon king saw this scene, instead of taking action, he looked like he was watching a good show.

"roll!"

An angry shout came from the sky, and silver light shone through the darkness. The entire sky was like a mirror, reflecting the appearance of the entire continent.

"Are these the scales of the Serpent of Order..."

Chu Ming squinted his eyes, and under the silver scales reflecting the chaotic colors of the sky, he saw a giant dragon with a streamlined body, silver-white scales, and an elegant posture.

"Herbert, how dare you touch him!"

The angry dragon roar resounded throughout the world, and the terrifying dragon power caused all the dragons to bow their heads in submission. The Black Scale Dragon King's movements stopped, and his huge body was penetrated by countless silver swords the size of mountains, and exploded in an instant.

"Bang!"

The darkness was instantly penetrated by light, and the brilliance of the snake scales fell on the platform, giving people a sense of security.

The silver-white dragon swooped down, its huge body rubbing against the air to generate light and heat.

Wrapped in the fiery red light, the dragon's body continued to shrink, like a meteor falling on the platform, causing a gust of wind.

The light dissipated, the original silver-white dragon disappeared, and a girl wearing a silver-white dress appeared in front of everyone.

Her long golden hair was blowing in the wind, she was holding a silver sword, her whole body was shining with light, her supple skin was as crystal clear as jade against the light, and her delicate clavicle blood vessels were clearly visible.

Isabel's face was full of anger, she raised her sword and walked towards Herbert.

"I told you, you are not allowed to interfere in my affairs!"

"Ahem..."

Herbert said lightly: "Your Highness Isabel, this is not the time to be willful. Your bloodline is related to the continuation of the next generation of dragons. Only the Dragon Mother can lead us through the long darkness and reach the future of dawn."

He sneered and said, "It's useless even if you kill me. Do you really think that those three scornful dogs like Risu and Su will agree? Before the darkness is about to come, your fate has already been decided."

Above the sky, the Golden Dragon King Narisu held his head and said: "Your Highness Isabel, this is indeed a difficult task. Only eternal life can cross the darkness and lead the dragon clan to a new future."

"The arrival of the next generation may be longer than the three eras combined. Without you, the Dragon Clan will no longer exist in the next generation, and the hope of the world against darkness will be even slimmer."

Azure Dragon King Romnai sighed: "Your Highness Isabel, I respect your choice, but I hope you can consider the future lives."

The Hot Dragon King had a bad temper. He cursed angrily: "Without the Dragon Clan, there would be no Dragon Clan. You Herbert really treat yourself like an onion."

"I will always support Her Highness Isabel's will."

The four dragon kings had different opinions and stopped talking. They just looked at Isabel, expecting her to answer.

Isabel clenched her fist with her right hand, her eyes were firm, and she was about to speak when suddenly her shoulder was covered by a warm palm.

She was stunned for a moment, and looked back. Chu Ming was smiling at her.

"Mr. Wizard..."

Chu Ming whispered: "Let me do it."

Under the gaze of thousands of dragons, he walked to Isabel and pulled out the long sword from his waist.

The dragon slayer exuded a faint dragon power. Although it was not powerful, this long sword was obtained by sacrificing a dragon. This move was undoubtedly stimulating all the dragons on the field.

He said calmly: "This sword is called Dragon Slayer. It was obtained by human warriors who slaughtered dragons and shed their blood."

"You have been arguing for a long time, but you just want to say that the dragon bloodline is noble. Only dragons can save the world and lead all living things."

He paused and said coldly: "If you ask me, you are too self-righteous and take yourself too seriously!"

"The so-called noble bloodline is bullshit! Didn't it die under the human sword?"

As soon as these words came out, the dragons were immediately angry and roared.

"Human boy, what did you say!"

"Roar!"

"Don't stop me, I'm going to rush up and beat him up."

The black-scaled dragon king Herbert sneered: "Arrogant boy, not strong, but arrogant."

"When the dragons fought against the darkness, you were still sucking milk."

Above the sky, the three dragon kings all frowned slightly.

Chu Ming looked around and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Ridiculous!"

He thrust the dragon slayer into the ground and laughed, "If you ask me, in this world, human blood is the most noble!"

"My body, my blood, my spirit, are a thousand times more than all the dragons present."

"Don't you want to say that only the dragons can save the world by going to the next generation?"

"Prove it to me, prove the nobility of the dragon blood!"

Chu Ming glared, "When humans were struggling in the dark ages and expelling darkness from their territory, your so-called dragon king was still sleeping. When we resurrected one powerful god after another, the dragons were just revived."

"When we were working hard to expel the evil gods, you quarreled like cowards and wanted to escape to the next generation!"

"Today I will break your so-called arrogance. I am here to accept any challenge from any dragon."

Chu Ming stood with his sword in his hands, his upright body like a reef bearing the strong wind and huge waves, towering and motionless.

"Mr. Wizard..."

Isabel smiled, walked to Chu Ming and held his hand.

She looked up at the three dragon kings, "Uncle and aunt, standing in front of you is a human hero who has experienced several eras like me and saved the world from the brink of collapse countless times."

"His achievements are known to everyone, his name is known to everyone, and even the gods will bless him."

"In this world, not only the dragons are working hard for the survival of the world, but all living things are exhausting their strength to survive."

"Before the dragons revived, it was the creatures on the continent who drove away the darkness of the continent and restored the world to prosperity."

"I believe in his power and am willing to entrust my fate to him."

"What about you? Are you ready to accept it?"

After Isabel finished speaking, all the dragons fell silent.

As Chu Ming and Isabel said, before they revived, all living things were already trying to fight against the darkness. What qualifications do they have to be proud of?

Herbert looked at Chu Ming deeply, and said calmly: "Darkness is not something that can be defeated by words. It wants to stop the dragon race from going to the next generation."

"Then prove your strength and let the dragon race admit that your bloodline is better than that of the dragon race!"

The Golden Dragon King exhaled, and the golden flames crossed the sky, "Human, you are very arrogant. Since Her Highness Isabel has said so, then I agree to your challenge to the dragon race."

The Hot Dragon King Lekuuk laughed and said, "Good boy, I like your temper, then let's have a passionate duel between the dragon race and the human race!"

The Azure Dragon King said calmly: "We will give you three days to adjust your state. If you win this duel, I will not interfere with you and Her Highness Isabel anymore."

The Golden Dragon King and the Hot Dragon King also nodded, "We too."

After the three dragon kings agreed, they looked down at the Black Scale Dragon King on the stone platform.

Herbert snorted: "There is nothing to say, strength is respected."

After that, he turned around and walked towards the temple without looking back.

"Okay, everyone, go away and wait for the showdown in three days."

The golden pupils of the three dragon kings turned into flames and flew away. The huge dragon heads disappeared over the continent, and the sky returned to calm again.

"Ouch..."

After Herbert left, Tongbi looked aggrieved and limped over.

"It was said that nothing would happen."

In this confrontation, Chu Ming was fine, and the dragon kings were fine. He was the only one who was slapped by Herbert invisibly, and it hurt so much that he just got up now.

"Okay, I'll help you heal."

Fenghua flew in front of him, and put her little hand on his head. Green light filled the air, and he suddenly felt like his body was soaked in magma, so comfortable that the dragon wanted to roar.

"Thank you, Lord Fairy King."

After thanking him, he quietly looked at where Chu Ming and Isabel were with a curious look.

After the dragons retreated, Chu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Isabelle chuckled, "What's wrong? Are you nervous?"

Chu Ming pinched her soft hand and teased, "Of course I'm nervous to meet the parents."

The girl blushed. Although she didn't know what Chu Ming meant by "meeting the parents", she always felt a little shy.

"Mr. Wizard..."

"Just call me Chu Ming, that's my real name."

Isabelle was stunned and laughed happily, "Well, why don't we go out for a while."

Chu Ming nodded and said to the fairy, "Fenghua, you go play with Tongbi first, I'll be alone with Isabel for a while."

Fenghua put her hands on her hips and snorted, "Humph, I don't want to play with you, Tongbi, let's go."

Tongbi said timidly, "Dear Fairy King, Tongbi is not a puppy..."

"Oh, let's go."

As he said that, he used all his strength to pull up Tongbi's wings and flew towards the forest.

Chu Ming couldn't help but smile. When he turned around, Isabel was looking straight at him.

The girl asked softly, "Where are we going?"

Chu Ming shrugged and said, "I don't know, who cares."

"Xiao Wuwu, take us down."

"Li!"

The lightning gathered, and the Thunder Dragon Bird carried Chu Ming and Isabel to fly out of the Dragon Country.

Recalling the scene of the confrontation with Herbert just now, Chu Ming couldn't help laughing and said, "It's rare to see you look fierce."

The girl blinked, "Why, do you hate it?"

Chu Ming said happily, "You look cute when you're angry."

Isabel's face flushed slightly when she heard this, "I haven't seen you for thousands of years, but your mouth is more sharp than before. I don't know how many girls you have deceived."

Chu Ming cried out that he was wronged, and flew out of the Dragon Country with the girl in a quarrel.

In mid-air, Chu Ming suddenly asked: "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what exactly is the so-called reincarnation, and what exactly is the eternal life that those dragon kings talk about."

Isabel lowered her eyebrows and thought, sorting out her words, "You should know that there are short-lived species and long-lived species in this world."

Chu Ming nodded, "According to the definition of the Second Magic Age, races like humans with a maximum lifespan of less than 500 years are called short-lived species, and only those with a maximum lifespan of more than 500 years are qualified to be called long-lived species."

The girl explained softly: "Eternal life actually refers to life with no end to its lifespan."

"How is this possible..."

Chu Ming's face was stunned. He was about to object, but suddenly remembered that Isabel seemed to have reincarnated several times.

Isabel continued, "Eternal life is like the rules of the world. It was born at the beginning of the world and has survived from the first era to the present."

She shook her head, "But the so-called eternity may not be as good as you think. When the body of eternal life can't bear the weight of time, they will disintegrate on their own and fall into endless reincarnation until the lost memory and the body and soul reach a balance again."

She smiled and held Chu Ming's hand tightly.

"They call me eternal life, the second era disaster dragon king, but in fact I have long forgotten what happened in the first and second eras."

"In the reincarnation of the third era, if I hadn't met you, I might have slept for a long time."
