Chapter 287 As expected of the Demon King, this is too much nonsense!
Is there an egg left in the refrigerator?
Hearing Youyou's call, Luo Yan was surprised and quickly walked into the next room.
When he walked through the open hatch, he saw only the smooth glass mirror reflecting his round body.
That guy is like a happy jellyfish at the moment, floating back and forth around a streamlined metal box.
There is a light layer of frost on the transparent glass hatch. Judging from the appearance, this thing is somewhat similar to the vital sign maintenance cabin in the next room.
It's just that the thing lying inside is not a living thing, but an egg the size of a washbasin!
Luo Yan looked closely and saw that the surface of the light gray eggshell was covered with fine scale texture.
His expression changed slightly.
It can’t be wrong——
This is a dragon egg!
Or to use the academic terminology of the Zeta Empire, this is "d-7447 Meat Lizard Egg".
"Incredible...this egg seems to be alive!" Youyou walked around the dormant cabin, her voice full of excitement.
"Indeed... this dormant device has actually been working for 1,000 years without losing power. It seems that the Zeta Empire's technological capabilities far exceed our imagination."
Luo Yan nodded slightly, amazed in his heart.
Just when he reached out to the interface that looked like a touch screen, intending to lift the dormancy and recycle this rare magic material, Yoyo next to him suddenly screamed out in surprise again.
Yuyou floated close to the dragon egg and flew around it twice, as if to take a closer look.
After a while, it returned to Luo Yan, with a hint of incredible surprise in its voice.
"Lord Demon King... There seems to be a soul attached to this egg!"
A soul attached to it?
On this egg?
The surprise in Luo Yan's eyes was even more obvious.
"Are you sure?"
Hmm "Yeah! I can't be wrong!" Youyou nodded her abstract head excitedly and chirped, "It was curled up inside the egg yolk, I almost didn't notice it!"
Luo Yan frowned slightly, with a cautious look in his eyes, staring at the light gray egg and thinking deeply.
This is indeed a bit strange.
According to the theory he learned in the Demon King Academy, "nascent souls" are often gradually formed during the growth process after birth, and are not present at birth.
The specific time point is usually after learning to speak, but rarely before.
From this point on, human memory will become continuous, just like the code written in the brain has been activated. Humanity begins to be greater than animality, and the soul and body are completely grown together. Only death can separate them.
This is the so-called first reincarnation, or the first time being a human being.
This type of people often have strong "NPC attributes". The advantage is that they have no enemies or creditors from the past life and will not be entangled in the cause and effect of reincarnation. However, the disadvantages are also obvious. For example, they are not yet proficient in being a human for the first time. For example, they have a weak sense of existence because they have just established cause and effect with this world. They try their best but can only make up a few points in the crowd of thousands of troops.
Whether it is the empire or hell, the vast majority of humans and goblins are actually reincarnated for the first time, and with this opportunity to reincarnate, only some souls favored by the devil, Saint Sith or other gods can be reincarnated again.
And this brings us to the second situation -
That is reincarnation.
Compared to the original soul, the circumstances of reincarnation are more diverse. Some souls have already grown up with the fetus when they were still in the mother's womb, and some have grown up with the souls of the second reincarnation before the newborn soul matured.
Luo Yan himself belongs to the latter.
And perhaps because of the smuggling into the subspace, he neither drank the "Meng Po Soup" on the other side of the earth, nor washed away his memories in the reincarnation pool of this world, but directly integrated into the new body with the memories of his previous life.
I think Lint Isaac is also in the same situation.
The soul in the dragon egg in front of me obviously belongs to the former - a reincarnated soul that grew together with the fertilized egg that has not yet conceived a soul.
This is not the first time this guy has made a dragon!
But he was reincarnated!
"But are there giant dragons in the Janna continent?" Luo Yan thought, looked at Yuyou and continued to ask, "Or... is it a magical beast? Gutafu's diary seems to have mentioned that giant dragons and magical beasts share a soul reincarnation pool."
Youyou, who was floating in the air, hesitated for a moment and said.
"That said, but... the magical beasts on the continent of Janna are also very weak, right? If they are low-level creatures, they should not be able to be reincarnated into a fantasy species like a giant dragon."
After saying this, Yunyu also felt strange.
From this point of view, it is absolutely impossible for dragon eggs on the Janna continent to contain souls.
Normally, only after this dragon egg hatches, can it be possible to slowly accumulate the power of faith to upgrade the soul level by relying on the faith of the Ankylosaurus clan in the Janna continent in the Dragon God, and eventually become the mythical dragon...
Judging from the rare extraordinary power on the continent of Janna, it is not ruled out that its soul will never grow to a level that matches its body, and will eventually become a meat lizard with the title of a giant dragon.
Luo Yan frowned slightly and carefully observed the dragon egg that seemed to contain a soul.
At this moment, an incredible possibility suddenly flashed through his mind -
"It's not impossible."
Youyou quickly looked at him.
Luo Yan paused and continued.
"If the soul attached to this dragon egg is Gutafu's own, everything would make sense."
"Huh?!" Yuyou's abstract eyes widened, "Is this...is this possible?!"
The Dragon God was reincarnated into a dragon.
Wrong——
Yoyou paused suddenly.
As the Demon King said, it is not impossible. Personality and divinity have never been unified, but can be separated... I think the same is true for the Dragon God.
The one who became a god was the Dragon God.
It was Gutav who died.
All followers of the Dragon God believe that the Dragon God is the father of all dragons, and even the Dragon God himself calls himself this.
When his divinity ascended to the sky, the remaining humanity naturally returned to the reincarnation pool created by himself. He can't become a lizard man, so it seems that the only place he can go is this one!
Luo Yan couldn't help but raise a strange smile.
From Gutafu's diary, he could clearly feel the guy's dislike for "meat lizards" between the lines. But now this guy has been reincarnated into the thing he dislikes most, and he has to play the game that he failed in his previous life as a chess piece.
What an irony.
Luo Yan had no intention of ridiculing a guy he had never met before, but he simply thought the incident was extremely funny, as dramatic as a person who had eaten pork all his life and turned into a pig.
I don’t know if this guy has the same memories of his previous life.
Obviously, he and Luo Yan thought of going together. Youyou, who was not too embarrassed to watch the excitement, was very enthusiastic and encouraged him excitedly.
"Lord Demon King! Let's hatch it! Hatch the Dragon God, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"You don't need to tell me," Luo Yan said with a dark smile on his lips, "I just need a flying mount."
The captain of the research ship from the Zeta Empire... There should be no more attractive mount on this planet than this.
He swore.
He was definitely not planning to hatch the dragon egg because he was curious about the expression on Gutav's face after seeing his new body.
The only problem right now is that he has never hatched an egg and doesn't know how to hatch it.
But I think this shouldn’t be a difficult thing.
The Padrich family's library has enough knowledge for him to borrow. If that doesn't work, he can also ask Professor Lilith or Lady Edonia.
"This archeology is really profitable...but I don't know how to hatch this thing. Let's take it back first and find someone to find out when we get back to hell."
"Hmm!"
Yuyou happily circled the dragon egg a few times, as if she couldn't wait to see the scene when the little dragon broke out of its shell.
Luo Yan smiled and shook his head, fumbled on the dormant cabin for a while, and finally started the thawing process through "Dragon Language" and took out the dragon egg that had been frozen for thousands of years from the dormant cabin.
The belief in the Dragon God gave this egg a vitality far beyond that of ordinary carbon-based organisms, and it has not diminished at all even after thousands of years.
Luo Yan could feel that the surging life force under the eggshell was about to move.
Hold the dragon egg in his arms, he raised his head and looked around to make sure nothing was missing. Finally, he turned around and left the room full of mysteries, heading out of the landing cabin.
At the same time, outside the door of the landing module.
Arlacto was pacing back and forth impatiently, his six eyes peering into the door from time to time, but he did not dare to get too close, so he could only mutter in a low voice.
"What on earth did the Demon King do...Why don't you come out?"
Looking at the dark cabin door, he always had a bad premonition, but he couldn't tell why, so he could only worry about himself.
As a spider, his sixth sense has always been accurate, far beyond his IQ.
Looking at Sarah standing at the door, Alacdo tried to use his eyes to encourage the latter to go in and take a look.
However, he obviously overestimated the cross-species tacit understanding between spiders and cats, and underestimated Lady Sarah's loyalty to His Majesty the Demon King.
Since the devil said that no one is allowed to enter, she will definitely not take a step closer to the door.
Ignoring Alakdo's wink, Sarah stood at the door looking unmoved, closing her eyes slightly and standing quietly with her arms folded.
She was certainly not asleep.
It’s just that her ears are far more sensitive than her eyes. With her eyes closed, it is easier for her to immerse her five senses in the surroundings and pay attention to the movement behind the door.
This is definitely not out of curiosity.
This is purely for the safety of the Demon King. After all, no one can guarantee that there are no strange things enshrined in this silver "shrine".
At this time, a wisp of decaying breeze blew through the pile of rocks outside the silver landing cabin.
Accompanied by the sound of growing thorns, a burst of light footsteps approached from a short distance through the crushed sand.
The visitor is none other than Branthia—the city lord of the Necropolis of Despair City and one of the four demon generals under the Demon King.
Looking at the silver "shrine" standing among the rocks, a trace of obvious surprise appeared on her pale face, and then her eyes fell on Sarah standing at the door.
"Where did the Demon King go?" Brancia raised her chin slightly, with a hint of command in her voice.
Sarah opened her eyes, looked at her calmly, and answered concisely.
"It's right inside."
Blanthia raised her eyebrows and took a step towards the door.
The next second, a sharp dagger was pressed in front of her, blocking her way.
"The Demon King said that no one is allowed to enter." Sarah's voice was calm and cold, without any hint of flinching.
Blancia narrowed her eyes and looked at the "toothpick" lying across her chest, with a mocking and cruel arc at the corner of her mouth.
"How dare a wild cat block my way?"
Having said this, she still stopped.
After all, beating a dog depends on the owner.
The same goes for beating cats.
At the same time she stopped, an obviously mocking voice floated from not far away. Thanos, who was leaning against a boulder with his arms folded, appeared at some point.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Even a steel-grade girl can grin at you, someone is really going back to life."
Anger rose between her brows, Branthia quickly turned her head and glared at Thanos viciously.
"If you don't want this mouth, I can sew it for you."
The thorns twisting on her body were like a python spitting messages, approaching in the direction of Thanos.
Looking at Brancia who was offended, Thanos just smiled softly. The shadow under his body was twisted like a centipede, wrestling invisibly with the twisting thorns.
The breaths of the two collided fiercely in the air, forming an invisible sense of oppression that made the surrounding flames a little weaker.
Alacto, who was standing next to him, shivered and took a few steps back involuntarily. High Priest Zell, who was waiting next to him, held his breath in fear, and only took a few breaths until he was almost suffocated.
His backbone and character were shattered to pieces the moment he presented the scepter to the Demon King... The person standing here at this moment is just an ordinary old lizard man.
Are the Demon King's subordinates usually like this?
Aside from fear, Zell couldn't help but have a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.
No wonder they are so strong!
It turns out that we are fighting each other every day!
At this moment, he had forgotten how he used the same set of reasons to look down on the humans on the ancient continent.
Leave him alone to speak the right and wrong words.
"...This is the Demon King's order, I just followed it." Sarah replied without fear, the blade in her hand did not move back at all.
"Shut up! I know it's the Demon King's order, but it's not your turn to order me!"
I didn't expect that this smelly cat was not afraid of herself at all, and Brancia was so angry that her teeth were itching.
Thanos on the side was crossing his arms and gazing at the fire with his joking eyes, looking like he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
However, suddenly, his face changed slightly, his joking expression quickly subsided, and his distorted shadow returned to normal.
Before Brancia could react, a majestic voice came from the silver-white "shrine".
"What are you doing?"
Everyone quickly turned around and saw Luo Yan stepping out of the hatch unhurriedly, his eyes sharp and calm.
"Lord Demon King..." Looking at Luo Yan coming out of the door, Sarah's expression immediately softened like a thawing lake.
Brancia's expression changed slightly, she quickly put away her hostility, lowered her head to salute, and said softly: "Master Demon King, I, I am just worried about your safety, so I want to go in and have a look..."
Luo Yan looked at Sarah.
The latter nodded slightly without adding any extravagance.
“That’s it.”
His eyes showed a hint of approval, Luo Yan nodded and said.
"You did a good job."
Sarah's face showed a shy and soft smile, her boots tapped the ground lightly, her heart was excited, but she was embarrassed to show it too obviously.
Luo Yan then turned his gaze to Brancia, and his eyes became sharp.
"If there is another time, I will not remind you like this."
Hearing that stern voice, Brancia's shoulders trembled slightly, feeling both fear and grievance in her heart, but she did not dare to say another word.
Thanos did not dare to say a word, fearing that the Demon King would target him.
But at this moment, his eyes suddenly fell on Luo Yan's arms and saw the light gray giant egg covered with scales.
In an instant, his face changed slightly and he said in a surprised voice.
"Lord Demon King, what you are holding in your arms is..."
Following Thanos' line of sight, everyone's eyes also fell on the giant egg in Luo Yan's arms.
In fact, there is no need for him to remind me at all.
Including Arakdo... everyone standing outside the landing cabin had long noticed that the coercion comparable to that of a giant dragon was emanating from Luo Yan's arms.
There is no doubt -
That is the breath of the dragon!
Looking at the people with astonished eyes, Luo Yan's mouth corners raised involuntarily.
He knew what his subordinates were thinking.
But they still underestimated themselves.
After a moment's pause, he said those shocking words in a calm tone.
"This is the Dragon God."
There was silence all around.
Even the slowly burning flame lengthened the crackling sound in silence.
Sarah is the calmest person, but there is still a surprised expression on her face. Her long mouth has completely become an O-shape, as if she could fit a mineral water bottle into it.
Not to mention Brancia and Thanos, both of them had constricted pupils and could not hide the surprise on their faces.
As for Arakto, because he is a spider, there is no human expression on his face, but the trembling spider legs reveal the awe and fear in his heart.
So that’s it——
No wonder he felt uneasy from the beginning!
However, the shock in the hearts of the employees of these large cemeteries was still much worse than that of the only lizard man present.
Zel, the high priest of the Holy Ankylosaurus Kingdom, originally just stood aside respectfully.
When he heard the words from Luo Yan's mouth, his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his eyes were full of astonishment and disbelief!
"Dragon, Dragon God?!"
Complex expressions crowded together on his face. He finally raised his head and looked at Luo Yan with eyes full of anxiety and shock.
"How is this...possible?"
The Dragon God is the supreme god they have worshiped for generations, how could he appear in such a...such a weak posture?
And——
It is clearly mentioned in the secret ancient books of the Holy Ankylosaurus Kingdom that although the dragon god Gutafu is considered to be a dragon, he is not a giant dragon, but a lizard man similar to the Ankylosaurus!
Zell was extremely angry when he thought of this.
These hateful humans!
Even if they conquered their bodies, they also distorted their history... What a shame and humiliation, which is intolerable!
However, when Zell met Luo Yan's determined and playful eyes, he felt inexplicably panicked in his heart, and his original firm belief began to waver unconsciously.
It seems like...
It’s not that impossible.
It was not out of fear of the conquerors, he thought carefully. If explained in this way, many contradictions in the secret ancient books of the Holy Armored Dragon Kingdom can be explained.
Luo Yan admired the struggle on Zell's face with great interest.
To be honest, he didn't really care whether the reptile could figure it out. After all, with the lizard man's ability to justify himself, even if he said that he was the reincarnation of the Dragon God, they would eventually believe him.
However, thinking about the fate of the Dragon God, he thought for a while, and finally decided to maintain his character, telling half-truths and half-truths.
"I took a walk around the Dragon God's tomb and found some interesting things."
Zell swallowed.
"What did you...find?"
Luo Yan's gaze swept across Zell's face lightly, with a hint of teasing in his voice: "Mr. Gutav died a thousand years ago - at the hands of the first king of your Holy Ankylosaurus Kingdom."
Gutav...
Dragon God? !
Hunted by the first king of the Holy Ankylosaurus Kingdom? !
This sentence was like a thunder, blasting in Zell's heart. His face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes even became empty for a moment.
"No, this is impossible! The Dragon God is the god who gave us life and the holy land... We have no reason to do this!"
It is indeed so!
Ever since he saw the Dragon Temple flying into the sky, he has been doubting this possibility!
"Don't be excited, it was Gutav who died, not the Dragon God. Rather than saying that you killed the Dragon God, it is better to say that you liberated his soul, allowing him to truly transform from a weak mortal into an omnipotent god, and gain true eternity."
Luo Yan paused for a while and lightly shrugged his shoulders.
"I know I can't alleviate your guilt by saying this, but I still hope you can look at things from a thousand years ago objectively... Even if you owe him something, the people you sacrificed with blood in the past thousand years are enough to repay the debt, right?"
Zell was shocked, and his knees almost fell to the ground.
"How could this happen..."
Looking at Zell who was on the verge of collapse, Luo Yan did not continue to bully him, he just coughed lightly and put on a serious tone.
If he speaks seriously, he always says it in a joking tone. Smart people will naturally understand, but fools don't need to.
And when he wanted to say something seriously, it would be serious nonsense.
"I said, you don't need to be so sad. Gutav is very pleased with your choice. He said in his last words... He succeeded."
Zell looked at him blankly.
"...Succeeded?"
This sentence seemed to be an inch of candlelight, rekindling the hope in his heart and re-knitting his spirit that was on the verge of collapse.
"Yes, He used his last power to open the Great Barrier and protected the Ankylosaurus clan for a whole thousand years, allowing you to survive the catastrophe a thousand years ago."
“But this is not enough. He has promised that He will take you to the stars, embrace civilization, and find the Zeta Empire hidden on the other side of the star sea... And a child who cannot complete spiritual patricide will never be able to walk out of his father’s arms. You will only stay in His arms forever and become smaller and smaller. In order to fulfill your future, He used his own blood as a sacrifice to complete the final sacrifice. From then on, each of you is a dragon." Luo Yan gently stroked the dragon egg in his arms, feeling the red warmth through the dragon scale eggshell, and continued in a gentle tone.
"Now, He has been freed from his mission and can finally live his own life... I mean the dragon is born."
The confused look faded from Zell's face, and the dry scales were covered with old tears, and they hit the ground together with his knees.
"Lord Dragon God... why are you... why are you doing this?" He murmured to himself, feeling deeply in his heart, and couldn't help but sob.
It hurts too much.
He felt sorry for not only the Dragon God, but also for the countless young men of the Ankylosaurus clan who had devoted themselves to blood sacrifices over the past millennium... It turned out that they actually did not have to die.
There is still hatred in his heart.
Damn the Parr family——
For their own selfish desires, those guys who have regarded themselves as holy kings for generations not only fooled themselves, but also fooled everyone, and even wanted to drag everyone with them to be buried together in the end!
That beast completely failed Lord Dragon God!
Thanks to the kindness of Lord Dragon God, he finally shot this heinous villain into the sky!
Thanos looked at the tearful lizard man in surprise, then at the Demon King, and then at the dragon egg in His Majesty the Demon King's hand, and couldn't help but swallow.
Could it be that...
Is this really the egg of the Dragon God?
He almost believed it!
Looking down at Zell who was kneeling on the ground with a face full of sorrow, Luo Yan changed into a majestic tone and continued speaking while holding Gutafu, who was still an egg in his arms.
"Zel, the Great Barrier has protected you for thousands of years, and now its mission has ended. The Dragon God gave me his final will in his last words. He entrusted you to me and asked me to take you back to the land he once left. From now on, all you need to do is to dedicate your loyalty to me."
"I understand..."
Zell's voice was extremely pious.
"The Ankylosaurus clan will offer you eternal loyalty... We will always follow you to the end of the sea of stars."
Luo Yan nodded with satisfaction.
Sarah and Brancia, who were standing nearby and watching, also had expressions of awe and admiration on their faces. The same is true for Arakto, but he is a little uncomfortable despite being in awe - what if the dragon egg really hatches into a giant dragon, and the respected Demon King will not ride him?
Although the suppression of the dragon's bloodline made his eight legs tremble, the eyes he looked at the dragon egg still turned sinister unconsciously...
Youyou, who was floating aside, let out a soft sigh, expressing the thoughts of everyone present, and also expressing the impossible emotions in everyone's hearts.
It has read the complete log.
"As expected of the Demon King..."
This is too much nonsense!
