Chapter 78: The God Who Was Stripped of His Divinity

  In the depths of Gaya, there is a mountain called Shen. According to legend, it was the place where the last wandering heavenly god and the self-proclaimed King of Rocks, South Gate Feld, fell after being beheaded by the Spider Queen.

  Here is a stretch of continuous mountains, with large tracts of forest growing on them. The terrain is superior, the water flows smoothly, and although it appears abruptly in the depths of the Gaya rainforest, it looks a bit strange. However, this mountain range seems to be protected by a magical barrier, with temperatures and environments more inclined towards subtropical regions. The mid-level mountains are layered and towering, with thousands of peaks and valleys, which is a completely different scene from the tropical rainforest climate that Gaya has had for years. If you can control the wind element to fly in the air, then when you fly over this mountain range at high altitude, looking down from top to bottom, you will find that this mountain range looks like a giant lying on the ground, tightly clenching its fists and roaring with its mouth open, as if making a final struggle.

  According to Nick, that year was a divine spirit that possessed the earth, dug out a piece of land dozens of miles in diameter and condensed it into a divine body, fighting against the Spider Queen, but ultimately fell here and turned into this mountain range. However, judging from the current situation, this mountain range is at least a hundred times larger than what Nick said.

  Behind the magical barrier, even if the Western Sea General Besman flooded Gaya and submerged thousands of miles of land, turning it into a sea of tribes, it would not affect this place in the slightest. However, today is an extraordinary day after all. Although this place is far from the hustle and bustle of war, various beasts are cultivating peacefully and do not participate in the struggles of other forces, but they cannot avoid being peeped at by others. Now, there is an uninvited guest who has arrived here, he crossed the barrier known as the Gate of Lamentation, treading the winding mountain path, slowly walking towards the high place on the mountain ridge.

  "Cough cough cough, you, a Blue Dragon clan member? Who are you? Why have you come here?"

  Standing on the giant's nose bridge, in front of him should be his wide open mouth, but now it has evolved into a huge, pitch black and bottomless cave. Just as he was hesitating, an old voice suddenly sounded, accompanied by severe coughing, asking uncertainly.

  "My name is Saronggi, I am the son of Dragon Walker Langger." The man who came looked at the dark cave, seemed a bit excited, and his voice still had a hint of tremble.

  "Langley. My son? You are his son?" The old voice coughed again, but the joyful meaning was unmistakable: "No wonder you carry a familiar air about you. Hehe, I didn't know he had a son after I left, and one who's grown so big already. Hehehe, it's really great. Say, how did you come to be here? Was it those divine beings from Borweisna that brought you?"

  "No." Sarongchi shook his head, and a blue glow suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand, slowly materializing into a deep blue sphere. The sphere was about the size of a football, covered with countless hexagonal crystal pieces, each of which seemed to contain a separate space. He calmly said: "This thing is called the Deep Blue Domain, it was a gift from the Sea King to the Sea Clan's General Besman, who treasured it dearly and wore it on his person for many years. Although this divine artifact is not outstanding in any aspect, it has an extraordinary effect - it can isolate all seals, even allowing one to evade the tracking of divine spirits. It was with this thing that I evaded the barrier set up by the gods of Borweisna at the border between the inner and outer domains, and entered here."

  "Have you sided with the Sea Tribe?" The aged voice coughed violently, somewhat displeased, "Didn't I tell your father to keep you from getting involved in the disputes of the Borweisna gods? It's going to be troublesome."

  "Sorry. But the Sea Clan General Besman saved my life, I must repay him." Salunke took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Repaying kindness is the spirit that my Blue Dragon clan adheres to. Even if I'm a scoundrel, I can't go against it."

  The old man's voice fell silent for a long time before speaking again, "Be careful yourself. Those guys from Borweisna aren't as simple as you think."

  "I'll be careful." Sarongchi nodded and hesitated, saying: "I can feel it, your physical condition is not good. Why don't you go back to Long Island? Father must be able to find a way to cure you. Why do you have to stay in this place?"

  The old voice sank down: "I've grown old, I don't have the vigor of you young people. Back then, Southgate Feld had a favor to ask of me, so I voluntarily gave up my position as the patriarch of the Blue Dragon clan and became his mount, following him into battle. Now that he's fallen in battle, I've also been stripped of my divinity by the Spider Queen, gradually growing old, until now I can barely move at all. Heh heh, I don't want to go anywhere else either, I'll just continue to stay here and keep my old friend company. You came to see me, I'm already very happy about that. Cough cough cough, it's good that one of my wishes has been fulfilled..."

  "Is the Spider Queen really that powerful? She can actually strip you of your divinity!" Salongji said in disbelief: "I remember, back then she was just condensing her divine aura and achieving godhood. Three touring heavenly gods plus you, a total of four true god-level combat powers, yet they couldn't even defeat her alone! How is it possible for her to be so formidable?"

  The old voice sighed: "Spider Queen Silvina was incredibly talented, and had found the treasure left behind by the Sky Dragon to achieve her divine position. Although she had just condensed into a divine form and achieved her divine position at that time, she already possessed combat power that was not inferior to that of a Divine King. At that time, Borweisna misjudged her strength and sent us few to lead her away. Who would have thought that an existence of this level was fundamentally not something that we could handle?"

  "If possible, I'd rather have a battle with such a strong person." Salongji nodded slightly and said solemnly.

  "I advise you not to have such thoughts. Impulsiveness only makes one foolish. Back then, she had just condensed her divine form and was already an existence equivalent to a Divine King. By now, she has probably surpassed the other three insect tribe evil gods and is above most Divine Kings. You want to surpass her? Unless you find the legacy of our Dragon Emperor among the eight great gods of creation." The old voice sighed as it spoke.

  "Treasure of the Dragon God Emperor?" A hint of a smile appeared on Sa Longqi's face, and he said, "Maybe I can find its exact location."

  "Oh? You're telling the truth?" The ancient voice was tinged with surprise, and from the depths of the seemingly bottomless cave, a sudden commotion erupted. Slowly, a gigantic dragon head emerged, its scales a pale blue hue. It gazed at Salongji, who had transformed into human form, and spoke in an eerie tone: "The treasure of the Dragon God Emperor has really been found by you? Our clan, which was stationed overseas for many years, searched for thousands of years without finding any clues."

  Salon nodded and said: "I have found some clues, but I still need to verify them."

  "Do other dragon clans know?" The old dragon asked again.

  "When I was searching for the key to open the Dragon God's Secret Treasury, several giant dragons of the Red Dragon clan also got the news. They blocked my way back and wanted to rob me of the key I found. I couldn't hold back my anger and killed them all. Now I'm being hunted by other dragon clans. Escaping overseas and hiding in the inland where Bolweisna is, actually isn't a bad idea. At least they can't find me for now." Sarongchi said with self-mockery.

  "Greed is the original sin that triggers evil." The old dragon sighed and said, "Take good care of that key, I hope you can find the treasure left by the Dragon God."

  "Don't worry. To isolate the powerful aura emitted by the key, I hid it in the deep blue domain. The other dragon clans will absolutely not be able to find it. When I inherit the Dragon God's secret protection one day, that will be the day I avenge you!" Sa Longqi said confidently.

  The old dragon opened its mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't say anything. After a long silence, it suddenly threw out several things from the cave and said, "Do me a favor, take these things away."

  "What is this? Eh, why are they all shattered divine artifacts?" Salun said in surprise.

  "This is the divine artifact used by Southgate Feld, along with some personal items. Among the three touring heavenly gods back then, his strength was the strongest, and his battle with the Spider Queen was the most intense. Although these artifacts were mostly shattered by the Spider Queen, they still contain extremely powerful divine energy and have many uses. Recently, many little bugs have been poking their heads out, trying to get attention for these things, so I'd like to ask you to take them away. Hehe, these things might still be of some use to you."

  "Oh. Do you need me to get rid of those little bugs for you?" Salongqi said in a low voice, without even looking, and directly put those things into the deep blue domain.

  "No need. Just some mischievous little things, I can still deal with them myself. It's just that my lifespan has already reached its limit, and I'm afraid it won't be long before I welcome death. At that time, I won't be able to protect these things either. So it's better for you to take them away." The old dragon coughed, but his expression was full of affectionate meaning.

  "Don't say that, you still have a long life ahead of you. Anyway, I still have things to do now. Let me finish them and then come back to see you." Sarongchi bid farewell.

  The old dragon nodded and said kindly: "You go first. Staying here for a long time won't do you any good."

  Sarong Qi bid farewell to Lao Long once again, and when he looked back, he had already walked down the mountain ridge and disappeared into the rainforest.

  The old dragon shook his head and sighed, "Getting involved in the struggle of the gods of Borweisna is truly an unwise choice. I just hope he doesn't get taken advantage of."

  Saron walked into the dense rainforest, feeling the humid and warm surroundings, muttering to himself: "Do beastmen really live in a place like this? It's indeed an interesting race. I just wonder where that wise man they mentioned is now..."
