Chapter 658 The Dawn of Humanity

The colors solidify the sky into a colloidal texture.

From anywhere in the world, one can see the colloid of the sky falling toward the ground, and a sense of despair, with nowhere to escape, arises from the depths of everyone's heart.

They wanted to press the entire sky down on the Azure Dragon in order to make contact with it and interrupt its current actions.

However, Qinglong simply extended his right hand slowly, raising his palm upwards little by little.

He then took another step upwards.

In an instant, the collapsing sky came to a standstill.

The suppression of outsiders by the Venerable Ones in the real world is becoming increasingly apparent, as if this place has truly become the territory of another Venerable One.

"I will not stop, and I cannot stop."

"I want all of you to witness the brilliance of my [Dawn]."

The tone of Qinglong's voice grew increasingly calm, as if he were not making a decision, but merely stating a fact.

His emotions began to die out.

It wasn't cooling down, it wasn't fading, it was like a lamp being suddenly blown out.

Anger vanished, fear vanished, joy vanished, sorrow vanished...

The last emotion he felt was a strange sense of regret.

The overwhelming sense of regret seemed to turn the entire sky gray, but that regret only lasted for a moment before it vanished just as quickly.

Something slipped from the corner of his eye.

It wasn't tears; those tears had already dried up when the physical body was shed.

That's something purer.

As the object slid down the Azure Dragon's cheek and finally fell into the sea, a faint white wisp rose from the sea surface.

This white was incredibly pure; it was neither as dazzling as the golden light of "Hope" nor as murky as the gray-white of "Desire."

It is merely the last ray of light before darkness falls at dusk, much like the first ray of dawn that will eventually arrive after a long night has enveloped the world.

It is the source of people's no longer fear of darkness.

Because people know that no matter how many times it falls into dusk and night, it will eventually rise again at the horizon.

It's not so dazzling that people dare not look directly at it, but it will always reappear.

Tell everyone who sees it—it has always been there.

The Azure Dragon's "Dawn" is a spark that never goes out before it ignites a prairie fire.

This white light rose from the sea level, rose between cities, rose from mountains and rivers...

It steadily held up the collapsed, colorful sky, and began to slowly lift it back into place.

With each tiny bit of upward climb, the colors in the sky seemed to fade slightly.

From that moment on, all the Venerables realized one thing—

They could not prevent the birth of another Venerable One.

Just as despair is born from hope, no matter what means other venerable ones use, they cannot truly make despair disappear forever.

After all, if one Venerable One could prevent the birth of another, then they shouldn't have such a thing as an adversary in the first place; they could have simply destroyed their adversary the moment it was born.

This is also the most unshakeable part of the law.

In other words, even from the perspective of the laws, the Azure Dragon is now infinitely close to the Venerable level.

They are born of the law, and they will obey the law.

A venerable being who has no opposite, or rather, whose opposite may only emerge after countless years.

A truly unfettered and unrestrained venerable one at this very moment—

born.

boom--

That pure white light lifted the sky back to its original position, and all colors vanished as if in a dream, fading away rapidly.

The Venerable One already knew the outcome of today's events.

The intrusion failed...

They not only want to withdraw their power from invading reality, but also need to quickly begin planning their next move.

After all, the birth of a venerable being who shouldn't exist in the first place—who knows what kind of changes it will bring to the laws?

Perhaps in this process, they can also do something to break free from God's covenant.

As the sky gradually returned to normal, Qin Shusheng and the witch were both utterly astonished.

They never expected that Qinglong would actually succeed!

The leap from being a living being to a revered being, the creation from nothing to something.

The Azure Dragon blazed a trail that no one had ever walked before, demonstrating to everyone through its actions that the Venerable One was not an omnipotent deity.

They can even be repelled by humans!

However, what price must be paid behind this great feat?

After the initial shock, the first thing Qin Shusheng and the witch thought of was what would happen to the Azure Dragon.

Is it really true, as he himself said, that it will burn out in an instant after only a short time on the mountain?

This is also a question that Wu Wang is currently pondering.

All three of them turned their gazes to the white light that had transformed into some unknown entity.

Under their astonished gazes, the other party gradually reformed into the reliable uncle Qinglong's appearance and fell back onto the deck of the Mary from the sky.

"Are you...you're alright?"

"Holy crap! You can turn back? Are you even human anymore?"

Compared to the witch's excitement in rushing over and rubbing the other person's face with her hands, Qin Shusheng's words were more like playful banter between close friends.

Their hearts finally settled down.

Only Wu Wang's expression seemed slightly strange.

Because the Azure Dragon felt very familiar to him...

Just like when the [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] descended his will into the body of his offspring named [Princess of Pleasure].

The azure dragon before him was his will, but not himself.

The next second, Qinglong spoke, confirming Wu Wang's speculation.

"Scholar, from the perspective of life, I am indeed no longer human."

"Just as the Venerable Ones cannot descend in their true form, the real world also cannot contain my existence."

"This is just a temporary container that I created, and it will soon be rejected by the world."

"I'm sorry, Shi Hui, I can't come back."

Upon hearing this, the witch stopped, and tears streamed uncontrollably from her already red eyes.

She knew the other person would never lie to her.

Today's farewell is still an eternal one.

Even if the Azure Dragon did not burn out as expected, they would never be able to meet again.

Looking at the witch crying her heart out in his arms, Qinglong raised his hand, which trembled slightly, but he did not wipe away her tears.

He knew very well that the more memories he left behind for the departed, the more pain he would suffer in the years to come.

He can't do that...

Snapped--

Suddenly, the witch grabbed the Azure Dragon's hand, which was suspended in mid-air, and used it to wipe away her tears.

But the tears kept falling, and no matter what I did, I couldn't wipe them away completely.

The witch, feeling the warmth of the blue dragon's hand on her face, sobbed, "Chen Xi... I married you back then..."

"Under the law and order, this is a fact you cannot change!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wang almost stumbled and fell to the ground. He never expected this woman to start with such a shocking revelation.

Qin Shusheng, standing beside him, also wore a half-smile, wanting to see how Qinglong would handle the situation.

This caused Qinglong to show an unusual embarrassment, and he said somewhat helplessly, "This... Scholar, what are you laughing at! Wasn't it to help her break free from the family's control that we went to steal that marriage? Getting the marriage certificate later was also to cut off further entanglements. Only in this way could Shi Hui be completely expelled from the family..."

"You came up with this bastard idea!"

"And that happened so many years ago! Back then we were young and reckless, and we didn't think about the consequences of our actions..."

At this point, Qin Shusheng interrupted him, saying, "But you didn't get a divorce, did you? Just like Shi Hui said, under the law and order, this is a fact you can't change, even if you've become a Venerable One now."

Azure Dragon: "..."

He really couldn't refute that. Because the witch's family was a special clan established by many players of the Spirit Disaster faction.

In that era, it was rare to find Spirit Disaster players who were related by blood, let alone a family with many Spirit Disaster players.

In a sense, this family was one of the most powerful spiritual disaster organizations at the time.

Back then, there were no Tarot Clubs, the Tower of Order had only been established for a short time, let alone grassroots organizations like the Continental Hotel.

Even though the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs has an official status, it does not yet possess the kind of influence it has now.

It can be said that, at the national level, China was in a state of disarray and was gradually stabilizing, with the focus on reform.

However, within the special group of players of the Calamity, it was a rather chaotic time.

Every player in the Calamity wants to take advantage of the nation's development and reforms to gain more.

Therefore, the influence of the witch's family was enormous.

After a series of absurd events, the previous director, in order to protect himself, claimed that he was in seclusion and leveling up, and could not be contacted.

I kept forcing myself to work in various colleagues' scenarios to hone my skills, trying to avoid the limelight during that period.

When everything settled down, the largest dungeon in the history of the Spirit Calamity was opened.

It was during that secret realm instance that the previous director died in the line of duty, and he was appointed as the current director.

He gradually stabilized the situation among the existing Necropolis players and became known as the number one Necropolis player.

This took a very, very long time.

Qinglong had no time to deal with the matter between him and the witch.

The other party also established a tarot club during this process.

I assumed those absurd things were just youthful folly and reckless behavior.

I never expected it to be brought up at this moment.

Thinking of this, Qinglong sighed and didn't offer any further explanation.

They are no longer young.

The current turmoil is far more severe than the minor skirmishes of the past.

The hand that was being held started to wipe away the other person's tears.

At this moment, Qinglong also said softly, "I have reached my end, but you have not."

"Perhaps, one day in the future, when you break free from the shackles of being a spokesperson, or even seize the authority of [Order], we will meet again."

"This is also the path that I think humanity should take next."

These words, while conveying warmth, also contain a wealth of information.

Wu Wang was the first to notice a problem and asked, "What do you mean... you've reached the end?"

Upon hearing this, Qinglong shook his head helplessly and said, "I have lost [Limitless], or rather, it made me who I am in another way."

These words stunned everyone.

In response, Qinglong continued to explain: "The moment I truly stepped into the Venerable level, I should have burned out after doing what I was supposed to do, as I had envisioned. After all, it's too early to attempt this step now, as my foundation is not sufficient at all."

"But [Limitless] made up for the missing part of existence, at the cost of completely losing my talent, and made it a constraint that allowed me to survive miraculously."

"This constraint is that I will never be able to increase my strength by even the slightest bit."

"From this day forward, I have lost the right to climb. The future is in your hands."

The Venerable One is not the pinnacle of the laws.

Everyone is actually quite clear about this.

The Venerable One can also continue to improve his strength.

For example, the fall of other Venerable Ones could allow them to obtain a greater share of the authority over the laws.

In particular, the fall of the opposing side could allow the Venerable One who lost the opposing side to rise to a position above them.

Qinglong even said that if he continued to improve step by step with his [Limitless] talent, he might be able to surpass the current Venerables after who knows how many years.

Unfortunately, that's no longer possible.

His power is forever confined to the present moment.

Qinglong, he could have gone even higher and farther.

But they still chose to sacrifice their own future to secure a new future for humanity.

Just like he called his own law "Dawn".

He chose neither to be the flame of revenge nor the light that illuminates everything.

Willing to become the dawn that makes humanity no longer afraid of the darkness.

But this also means that if a Venerable One were to be born who eliminates his own opposite and further elevates himself, he would no longer be able to resist humanity in the slightest.

This is the limit he can reach.

Qin Shusheng paused for a moment, then asked, "Then... what did you see?"

He knew that Qinglong's sudden absurd idea of ​​having a witch or his own representative seize the authority of the Venerable must be because he had learned more about things that humans could not see at this point in time when he reached his current level.

In response, the Azure Dragon slowly raised its head and looked up at the sky.

Beyond the barriers of that world, the Venerables did not leave immediately after withdrawing their power; they remained there.

Because I am preventing them from leaving.

That's right, it's obstruction!

Come and go as you please? Where can you find such a good deal?

The Azure Dragon must leave something for humanity.

Even if he wasn't in his current state, even if he had only briefly reached the Venerable level, he could still have done this.

Because time is not that significant for beings at this level.

But humans can't do that; what humans lack most is time.

"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you what I saw, as it would cause humanity to suffer an undeserved disaster prematurely."

"But please trust my judgment—humanity now needs venerable ones, or rather, it needs their power."

Qinglong's expression was unusually serious.

His gaze also fell on Wu Wang, and on Wu Xiaoyou, who was still hanging in the sky.

Her pink wings remained, and the aura of "Supreme Bliss" on her body had simply stopped rising, but it showed no sign of leaving or fading away.

"Wu Wang, do you remember what I told you?"

"If you want to awaken your talent, the only way besides following the path of the Xie Zhi is to experience the dungeons that contain the laws of those Venerable Ones, and try your best to comprehend their laws and integrate them into your own."

"The path of the Xie Zhi is far too difficult for most people. Since humans have obtained the qualification of Spirit Disaster players, they must make use of it. Going through the dungeon is something that most people can do."

At this point, a hint of incomprehensible emotion flashed in Qinglong's eyes.

Then he said something that shocked everyone.

"The Venerable One also wants to control the players of the Calamity to work for Him."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have issued a judgment before today that players who voluntarily surrendered would be spared from this disaster."

"Since they want it, then we'll give it to them!"

"Learn from the barbarians' superior techniques to subdue them. If humanity truly wants to defeat them, it must thoroughly understand their power!"

"I will negotiate with them so that from now on, players of the Calamity will be able to choose to enter the instance worlds controlled by them!"

"We want to enable more people to awaken their talents with clearer goals, and to become beings who can stand before them."

"Of course, I know that in the process, they will take the opportunity to corrupt some people, which may also pose a certain threat to humanity."

"But I also believe that humanity will move even faster."

This is also an unprecedented gamble!

Today, the Azure Dragon offered its blood to Xuanyuan, ascending to the level of the Supreme Being, signifying that humanity has gained the right to negotiate with them.

But that doesn't mean they can never pose a threat to the real world.

As the saying goes, it's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you.

If humanity continues to grow step by step on its own, the entire group will still appear too weak in the face of the venerable.

What the Azure Dragon wants to do is to make humans see the Venerable One as a tower that can be climbed!

The players of the Necropolis climbed step by step from the bottom of the tower to the top, eventually even taking control of the tower from the humans!

Those copies they control are the capital that humanity uses to climb higher.

Why are you telling me this?

"Or is there anything else you want to say to me?"

Wu Wang looked at Wu Xiaoyou's figure and seemed to realize something... (End of this chapter)
