"Oh? Oh, oh." Rong Nianbing was stunned for a moment, then replied, "By the way, Brother Lin, where did you put Elwen? Are you carrying a small plane with you? Has your cultivation already reached such a terrifying level?"
Lin Feng nodded, then shook his head, taking out a banner-like divine artifact from the void. "This is a spatial-type divine artifact I've refined in recent years. It contains a space similar to a small plane.
Elwen went in here. I've named it the Human Emperor Banner."
Rong Nianbing pondered, looking at the Human Emperor Banner which emitted a golden light on the front and a black aura on the back. He said in a low voice, "Is that name right? Why do I feel like something's not quite right...
Are you planning to put the god-level experts from the Lost Continent and the Yangguang Continent in here later?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"No..."
Unable to pinpoint what was strange, Rong Nianbing stopped thinking about it. After catching up with Lin Feng's pace, he abruptly asked, "By the way, if not for what happened today, Brother Lin, when were you planning to return my seven divine artifacts?"
"Haha, I simply forgot, forgot."
Rong Nianbing's mouth twitched. He always felt that if no one had mentioned it, Lin Feng would never have returned them.
"Let's go to the Yangguang Continent first. I have an old friend there I'd like to see, and the passage to the Continent of the Gods is also there."
"Alright."
Traversing through space, with Rong Nianbing leading the way, the two soon arrived at a huge mountain range, located in the north of the Yangguang Continent, at the border of two empires.
The ice element in the air was exceptionally dense, and waves of cold current rushed towards them. His destination was the highest peak here.
Hidden in a place inaccessible to humans were seven huge caves.
However, at this moment, apart from the two caves at the very top and on the edge, the others showed no signs of life.
Rong Nianbing looked at the cave on the edge, whispered something to Lin Feng, and the two immediately concealed their auras. Rong Nianbing also disguised himself, hiding his head under a hood, and instantly appeared in the deepest part of that cave.
"Shine~~~"
A dazzling array of colorful lights flashed. Piles of gold and silver treasures, magical items shimmering with a mysterious luster, and various rare gems and ores illuminated the entire cave with a riot of color.
If the two of them were just ordinary people without any cultivation, Lin Feng suspected their eyes would have been directly blinded.
Truly—it blinded my g-eye.
On top of the countless treasures, a majestic figure was lying prostrate. Its huge dragon wings spread out to the sides, spanning more than a hundred feet wide. Fiery red dragon's breath puffed from its mouth as it slept.
A wild, giant Charizard has appeared! Lin Feng's mouth twitched.
A reminiscent look flashed in Rong Nianbing's eyes, and they darted around. "Jie jie jie."
With a wicked laugh, he casually picked up a magic scroll in front of him and glanced at it. "Whoa, good stuff. A tenth-tier fire-based attack spell, equivalent to the attack of a high-level Soul Douluo in the Douluo World."
"Roar! Who! Who dares to touch this king's treasure!!!"
The sleeping dragon was abruptly awakened as the magic scroll was picked up. Its huge dragon eyes widened, and its fiery red dragon's breath instantly became intense, as if it was about to ignite the entire cave.
A heaven-shaking roar echoed in the cave. The dragon's huge body instantly stood up, and with a flap of its wings, it stirred up a gust of wind, causing the treasures in the cave to clatter.
The Fire Dragon King Galamandis had a terrible temper upon waking. Opening his eyes to see two humans standing in front of his treasure hoard, he was instantly filled with rage.
"Roar!!! I knew you humans couldn't change your nature!"
Fiery red dragon's breath instantly spewed towards the two of them, the scorching heat igniting the very air.
Lin Feng casually moved his fingers, and all the dragon's breath surged in one direction.
"What!" Galamandis's dragon eyes instantly widened, as if he had seen something incredible, and he was immediately on high alert.
The dragon's breath instantly descended upon Rong Nianbing, burning his disguise to ashes and revealing his original form. Of course, the damage was zero.
"Yo, long time no see, big brother?"
Rong Nianbing smiled and patted the non-existent dust off his body. "Big brother, your morning temper is really getting worse and worse. You greet me with a 'warm' embrace as soon as we meet."
The momentum of Galamandis's charging dragon magic instantly collapsed. "Nianbing? Crap, it's really you!"
Lin Feng pursed his lips. So it was this guy Rong Nianbing who wanted to show off. But that maneuver of revealing his perfect form from within the flames was pretty cool. He would have to replicate it when he got the chance.
After a round of greetings and explaining their purpose, Rong Nianbing extended an invitation to Galamandis to go to the Divine Realm.
Galamandis readily agreed. "You've come at an inconvenient time. The other Dragon Kings aren't here. By the way, Kaka—the current Dragon God—should be at the mountaintop."
He transformed into a human, burly in stature, and put on a magnificent robe casually picked from the treasure pile.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see Kaka. He'll be very happy to know you're back." Galamandis said, and strode out of the cave. Lin Feng and Rong Nianbing followed closely behind.
The three of them traversed the winding mountain range. Galamandis was clearly anxious, his pace getting faster and faster.
Finally, they ascended the highest peak. There, on the summit, stood a youthful figure, surrounded by a faint draconic might, appearing transcendent.
Fourteenth-tier, a Third-Class God? Lin Feng's gaze flickered slightly. This was the strongest being currently existing on these two continents. Compared to the Dragon God of Douluo, he was really pathetically weak.
"Kaka, look who's here!" Galamandis shouted from afar, his voice full of joy.
That figure slowly turned, revealing a young and majestic face. It was the current Dragon God, Kaka, the son of the Light Dragon King and the Dark Dragon King, and a former companion of Rong Nianbing.
"Boss Nianbing!"
As soon as Kaka saw Rong Nianbing, a brilliant smile lit up his face. He opened his arms and hurried forward to greet him, giving Rong Nianbing a bear hug. "Long time no see! You're finally back!"
"And this is..." Kaka released Rong Nianbing and turned his gaze to Lin Feng, a trace of curiosity and scrutiny in his eyes.
He couldn't see through this person's cultivation. How many years had it been since such a situation occurred? The person Rong Nianbing brought back, could he be a legendary true god like him?
"Ahem, it's like this..." Rong Nianbing coughed twice and briefly explained the situation to Kaka.
"I see, you've come from across the deep expanse of the universe." Kaka nodded and showed an apologetic look to Rong Nianbing and Lin Feng. "Although I'd really like to help you, I now hold the position of Dragon God. The balance of the two continents needs my presence."
Lin Feng waved his hand. "Are you worried about the top powers of those continents?"
Kaka was stunned, then nodded. "Yes."
"No matter, I'll take away those top leaders. The two continents will still be very balanced." Lin Feng revealed a friendly smile.
It was just that the continents were developing, and the presence of god-level beings was unstable and required him to keep them in check. If so, just taking away the guys causing the problem would be fine, right?
After all, sometimes, dealing with the person causing the problem is much easier than dealing with the problem itself.
"This...?" The Dragon God was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened as he realized. He sent a telepathic message, "Big Brother Nianbing, the person you brought back, is he in the business of universal human trafficking? It seems I can't even refuse?"
Rong Nianbing's face darkened.
"Alright, it's time to go." Lin Feng didn't give them much time to think. He looked at Galamandis and said, "Change back into your dragon form?"
?
Galamandis was completely baffled. Then, he uncontrollably transformed back into his dragon form. "This? What's going on?"
Lin Feng had a playful look. He took out a spherical object from the void, red and white, with a button-like object in the center. "Go, Spirit Ball!"
"Duang—"
Galamandis was sucked into the Spirit Ball in a state of confusion. The Spirit Ball even shook symbolically a few times, made a "ping" sound, and a star-shaped special effect flashed.
Seeing Lin Feng pick up the Spirit Ball and look at Kaka eagerly, Rong Nianbing's mouth twitched, and he quickly pulled Kaka into his own space.
"Brother Lin, you really have a lot of spatial divine artifacts." Rong Nianbing shook his head helplessly.
"Not many, just these two." Lin Feng put away the Spirit Ball and said with a smile, "Do you know why I want to send the Dragon King and Dragon God from here to the Divine Realm?"
Rong Nianbing shook his head. "I don't know. Is Galamandis okay?"
"Of course he's fine. The environment inside is quite nice, with food and drink. Let's talk as we walk." Lin Feng and Rong Nianbing walked towards the depths of Kaka's cave, where there was an ancient magic teleportation array.
"The dragons here, and the dragons of the Douluo World, although there are differences, I just sensed that the source of their bloodlines has similarities.
Separated by a sea of stars and endless space, yet this situation has occurred. Aren't you curious?
Bringing them back to the Divine Realm is also to verify some conjectures."
Rong Nianbing shook his head. While activating the teleportation array, he said, "Not curious. I'm starting to regret bringing you here. The seven Dragon Kings, the Dragon God, and the god-level beings of the two continents, you want to take them all away. My home world is going to be completely ravaged by you. I'm so tired, I don't want to think."
A flash of light passed, and when the two appeared again, they were in a corner of the Continent of the Gods.
"Head north." Lin Feng said, and was the first to tear open the void. At an extremely fast speed, he soon arrived at a vast, boundless plain. The spiritual energy here was abundant, and a peaceful aura filled the air. Compared to the mountain range filled with draconic might just now, this place seemed more tranquil and mysterious.
"What's here?" After a while, Rong Nianbing caught up and asked Lin Feng.
Lin Feng pointed to the ground.
"Like that bronze door, there are ancient secrets hidden here too. The difference is, this is a ruin."
Rong Nianbing frowned, his divine sense spreading out. A moment later, he said in surprise, "There really is something strange. When I left back then, although I had traveled over most of the Continent of the Gods, I had never set foot here. I never expected there to be a mystery hidden underground."
"Let's go."
The two figures flashed, instantly breaking through the ground and delving deep beneath the earth.
Descending tens of thousands of meters underground, the two seemed to have crossed the boundary of time and space, arriving in a completely different world.
There was no longer the light and warmth of the surface, only dim light and cold stone walls. The surroundings were filled with an ancient and mysterious aura, as if every stone, every speck of dust, contained endless stories.
"This place... is too incredible." Rong Nianbing looked around and exclaimed. He actually felt his divine sense was slightly restricted here.
What came into view was a huge underground ancient ruin. Although it was mostly dilapidated, one could still see its former glory and magnificence.
Above and around the huge ruin, a dome and broken walls were covered, blocking a large part of the earth. In the very center was the only place that remained untouched by the erosion of time, free of dust.
In the center of the ruin stood several broken, huge stone pillars. The pillars were carved with complex and incomprehensible runes and patterns, shimmering with a faint light.
"These stone pillars... seem to be the foundation of some kind of array." Rong Nianbing's eyes flickered as he carefully observed the runes on the pillars. "Moreover, these runes bear a resemblance to the records in some ancient texts I have seen. It's incredible. These are the words that Cao and Tianxiang told me about."
"You can read them?"
Rong Nianbing nodded. Looking at the runes on the stone pillars, Rong Nianbing slowly read, "Heavenly Star... Beginning of the Spirit... Great Dao Law... Emotions... Fragment Aggregation... World Creation... These are the only words I can see.
World Creation..."
Rong Nianbing's expression became a little more solemn. "Brother Lin, do you think this 'World Creation' refers to the creation of which world? My home world's plane?"
"You already have a guess, don't you?" Lin Feng said lightly. "Come with me. Your power of emotions is needed here."
Rong Nianbing's heart sank slightly. He felt as if he was about to learn something incredible.
Lin Feng led him to the front of a secret room. This room was not made of stone; its raw material was more like some kind of alloy, like an unknown metal that would appear in a sci-fi movie. It emitted a faint cold light, and strange magical patterns flowed on its surface, giving a feeling of technology and magic intertwined.
Lin Feng sensed it. The strength of the material constituting this secret room was about the same as that of the bronze door, also approaching the level of a divine artifact.
Although the ruin was large, the only thing of real value was this secret room.
Lin Feng kicked the door open.
The overall layout of the secret room was very much like a research laboratory, filled with various strange-shaped instruments and equipment.
At the edge, Lin Feng and the other man saw several huge, transparent, liquid-filled cultivation pods. They were arranged in a row, emitting a faint blue light, just like the high-tech facilities where clones were stored in sci-fi movies.
These cultivation pods were filled with some kind of unknown liquid, in which some tiny points of light floated, slowly flowing.
Lin Feng pointed to the center of the secret room. It was an S-shaped area where black and white were intertwined, an aura of chaos...
"There. Channel your power of emotions into it."
Rong Nianbing was still a bit stunned by the scene before him. Hearing Lin Feng's words, he came back to his senses. He swallowed and stammered, "Brother Lin, you are so powerful now, why do you still need me to do it?"
Lin Feng rolled his eyes at him. "Although I have transcended the reincarnation of this world's universe, I have not mastered all the laws. Your power of emotions is a very special and powerful law. The former master of this place used it as a key to seal all secrets.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have needed to bring you here. I could have forcibly broken the seal without damaging the information inside, but that would take time, and I'm too lazy to do it."
Rong Nianbing took a deep breath, nodded, and injected his power of emotions into that area.
After a long time, a flash of light shone, and the black and white intertwined area seemed to be activated, beginning to rotate slowly.
A mechanical voice then sounded, "Emotions... it's emotions." The voice suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahaha, it's the complete power of emotions, it's the complete Great Dao! I've won, I've won, Father of Technology! You've lost! Hahaha, hahaha!!!..."
Amid the laughter, the voice quickly came to an abrupt halt, as if suddenly cut off by an invisible force.
"This...!" Rong Nianbing looked at Lin Feng.
"The last trace of divine sense. The obsession is gone. It has now completely dissipated. I admire his obsession for allowing him to persist for tens of thousands of years after death."
This is what you call professional. "A genius on the left, a madman on the right" is not just a saying. A person's obsession can sometimes be this terrifying.
Then, the rotating black and white area gradually stabilized, and images began to unfold slowly in the void, like an ancient film being replayed.
Rong Nianbing's eyes widened as he watched these images, his heart filled with shock. What was displayed in the images was a glorious history of this Continent of the Gods from fifty thousand years ago, and also a sealed God Creation Project.
In the images, two people dressed in strange clothes and possessing extraordinary power were standing on a huge altar. In the center of the altar was a complex array, and at the center of the array were crystals emitting a soft light.
One of them held a staff inlaid with various gems, while the other wore a tight-fitting suit of armor.
"Father of Evolution, do you think your theory can succeed? Absolutely impossible! These God Crystals are the remnants of true gods. Only through these God Crystals can the gods be made to reappear!"
"Father of Technology, you are wrong! These things are merely fragments of the laws of the Great Dao. You are just integrating them into the human body to create pseudo-gods. In the end, it is impossible to recreate true gods!
Only by using this as a blueprint and pioneering a new Great Dao can new true gods be created! I want to create a god corresponding to a Great Dao law that has never existed before!"
The Father of Technology left with a flick of his sleeve. "You will regret this!"
The entire scene came to an abrupt end.
