The final scene was etched deeply into Xu Xiaolan’s heart.
She was struck by a sense of concern for some reason.
She turned toward An Lin and held on tightly to his hand. “An Lin, what if… and this is purely hypothetical, but what if my cultivation base becomes too high and I go too far on my path to pursuing dao? You’ll catch up and stay with me, right?”
An Lin: “…”
An Lin felt like his heart had received a heavy blow.
Xiaolan was afraid that he would be unable to catch up to her?
An Lin analyzed in a meaningful and heartfelt voice, “Xiaolan, it’s not like you don’t know how badass I am! How can someone as badass as me be unable to keep up?! Even if I can’t catch up, you can just carry me and care for me!”
Xu Xiaolan burst into laughter upon hearing this.
The heaven and earth phenomenon lasted an entire two hours.
Almost all of the Dragon Tribe living beings were experiencing the reciprocation from the demise of this God of Creation.
The little black dragon was also standing high in the sky and did not react as the azure rain fell upon him. Perhaps he was thinking about something, or perhaps he was also experiencing the reciprocation from the Clear Origin Dragon.
After the rain stopped, an extremely beautiful rainbow connected the two extremes of the earth.
An Lin was even struck by the impression that this was not a rainbow, but instead, it was a glorious rainbow dragon that was flaunting its vibrant beauty to the world.
The little black dragon slowly descended from the sky.
All of the onlooking dragons bowed respectfully.
“Welcome back, Patriarch Azure Dragon!”
Voices filled with unbridled excitement and elation rang out across the entire heaven and earth.
“Daddy!”
“Papa!”
The two little azure dragons yelled with tears in their eyes.
The little black dragon flew over and held the two little azure dragons in his arms. “Oh… My babies, who would have thought you would be so big now after just tens of thousands of years.”
“Waah… Papa… I thought you were going to leave us again after finally coming back…” The female azure dragon held tightly onto the little black dragon.
“I wouldn’t do that to you…” The little black dragon wore a gentle and soft expression.
“Papa, you were so awesome! I could already see that the Clear Origin Dragon had sinister intentions against my sister and myself! Otherwise, we wouldn’t be hiding in the Dragon Dao Pond…” The male azure dragon waved his claws with excitement.
The little black dragon caressed the male azure dragon before a hint of rage appeared on his face. “Hmm? What happened to your face? Tell Daddy! Daddy will avenge you!”
“Er… This is from the time you slapped both of us…” the male azure dragon explained as he laid his claws over his swollen face.
The little black dragon harrumphed coldly. “You still haven’t recovered from such minor injuries? You two are absolutely disgraceful!”
The male azure dragon: “…”
“By the way, what are your names?” the little black dragon asked.
“We don’t have names yet. Names have to be given to us by our parents. We didn’t have any parents, so we didn’t have any names,” the female azure dragon replied.
The little black dragon blinked. “You two have lived without names for tens of thousands of years?”
“Everyone just calls us little azure dragons,” the female azure dragon explained.
“Alright, I’ll think of good names for the two of you.” The little black dragon nodded.
The two little azure dragons immediately whooped with excitement.
It was always a touching scene to see the reunion of a father and his children.
An Lin looked on from nearby and was greatly touched by these moving scenes.
After that, the little black dragon began interacting with all of the True Dragons here.
As for why the little black dragon was named Azure Dragon, An Lin didn’t really know.
After going around and talking to everyone, the Azure Dragon decided to keep its return a secret so that he could give the Ancient Tribe a surprise.
He made his way over to An Lin. He was about the same height as An Lin. His eyes shimmered with divine light and were very comfortable to look into.
The little black dragon didn’t unleash his aura and gave one a sense of friendliness and intimacy.
“An Lin, I really must thank you. If it weren’t for all your help, the chances of my resurrection could be said to be extremely dismal.” The little black dragon bowed in gratitude.
The True Dragons gathered were all astonished to see this.
They had lived for countless years, and it was the first time they had ever seen Patriarch Azure Dragon bow to another living being.
“No need to thank me, Brother Azure Dragon. I’m also very happy to see you regain your freedom. It’s worth all of the stomach pain you put me through.” An Lin smiled with elation. However, his words were quite suggestive. Did you hear me? You put me through a lot of stomach pain, so you better hurry up and repay me!
The little black dragon laughed heartily. “Mr. An Lin, I’m so blessed to have met you! We didn’t communicate much, but we had a tacit understanding with one another and finally managed to overhaul the Clear Origin Dragon’s sinister plan.”
An Lin smiled and didn’t say anything.
When were they going to cut to the chase? Was this little black dragon retarded or just pretending?
The little black dragon wiggled his body. “The Azure Dragon Heart Essence does prefer me over everyone else, but it has been tainted by the Clear Origin Dragon’s aura, so I have to go and refine it right away. I’ll have to take my leave now.”
“An Lin, you are my best friend, and I, as well as the entire Azure Dragon Tribe, am indebted to you. You can use the power of the entire Azure Dragon Tribe as you see fit while I refine the Azure Dragon Heart Essence.”
Thus, the little black dragon gave him a wave and disappeared on the spot.
The veins on An Lin’s forehead bulged.
There was no substantial reward or repayment!
Best friend? What kind of guy does this to his best friend?!
In all honesty, An Lin wanted to emulate the Clear Origin Dragon and fight the little black dragon.
“Grandpa!”
“Grandpa!”
“Where did Daddy go?”
The two retarded little azure dragons ran over with curious expressions.
An Lin replied, “He has gone to Valhalla.”
The little azure dragons were very excited to hear this. “Valhalla? Is that a really awesome place?”
“It certainly is. One can live without any worries or concerns there.” A fake smile appeared on An Lin’s face.
“I really want to go as well.” The little azure dragons wore expressions of anticipation.
An Lin smiled. “Sure, I can send you there…”
On the Dragon Origin Star.
An Lin was authorized to see the most detailed maps the planet had to offer.
An enormous map was laid out before him, and it could adjust its angle based on the direction the viewer was looking in.
The shameless dragon had already been expelled from An Lin’s sea of vital energy, and it was time for him to take care of Xu Xiaolan’s bloodline summoning. The summoning power acting upon Xu Xiaolan was very strong and could even pierce through the formation around the Tai Chu Continent to reach her.
Xu Xiaolan looked at the boundless map and pointed in the direction where she felt the bloodline summoning force emanating from.
An Lin turned to survey the map, upon which his pupils contracted slightly.
The direction Xu Xiaolan was pointing in was the southernmost part of the Realm of Stars!
Could it be… that it really was the Holy Beast Vermilion Bird that was summoning her?
