Then came the White Emperor's defeat. He watched as Yggdrasil's footprints spread across the two realms, the five continents, and the four oceans, reaching every corner and scattering human footprints to every place in the dragon realm, observing the growth of humanity from both a human and a god's perspective.
Humans, driven by greed, coveted the power of dragons, from bathing in dragon blood to offering their virgins to obtain offspring with dragon blood, violently killing them in cages and docilely holding them in their arms.
These are the first mixed-race individuals.
Because of the White Emperor's creation, humans were born with powerful spiritual talents. This is why all other races, after bathing in dragon blood, can only become puppets like Deadpool. Humans, however, have an additional path: to seek a balance between human blood and dragon blood and become a "hybrid".
In fact, this is a path unique to the dragon race.
The White Emperor saw everything, but she did not stop or obstruct it; she simply watched silently as everything unfolded before her.
When she witnessed the scene of all humanity rejoicing at the birth of the first hybrid, when the first "docile" hybrid to leave offspring was revered as the leader by humanity,
Yggdrasil already knew that his rebellion against the Black Emperor was doomed to fail.
The humans she created to replace the dragons failed when they faced the dragons, so naturally, she, the creator of humans, would also be defeated by the Black Emperor Nidhogg, the creator of the dragons.
After a moment of silence, the White Emperor summoned her six elders again. Looking at them, she gave an unquestionable command:
"The rebellion ended with me, and glory was bestowed upon each other."
That was the scene three days before the White Emperor decided to launch the rebellion.
She decided to leave a legacy for her cause.
So, the day before the White Emperor's rebellion, she filled the southwest of the sea with mountains to block the storms of the Indian Ocean, leveled the desert in the northwest of the sea, leaving only a corridor and a few oases, and then set out a cold current in the due north of the sea, melting a barren land.
She addressed the six elders:
"This is the promised land of the future."
The elders understood immediately, and just before the White Emperor's rebellion, they bowed to the Black Emperor Nidhogg and told him about the High Priest's plot.
The moment they finished speaking, a long, faint light rose from Taibai.
The White Emperor fell to heaven.
The Black Emperor looked at the six elders who were proclaiming the High Priest Yggdrasil's rebellion, followed by the White Emperor's fall from grace, and he laughed.
Is this an act of surrendering to Him?
No, this is a provocation against Him.
Nidhogg paid no attention to the six elders before him. He soared into the sky and engaged the White Emperor in battle at Yingzhou.
The residual power left by these two supreme beings high in the sky created these four islands.
They can be described as "separated only by a strip of water" and "since ancient times".
As the White Emperor Yggdrasil foresaw, she failed and was imprisoned in the icy ocean, where time would erode her will.
And those six elders.
Looking at the six seemingly respectful elders before him, the Black Emperor decided to reclaim the authority he had once bestowed upon them and banish them to the "Promised Land" created for them by the White Emperor.
Nidhogg said:
"Indeed, I have established you so that I may show you my power and that my name may enter your ears and your heart."
From that time on, unless permitted by the Black Emperor Nidhogg, the six elders were effectively stripped of all their authority and confined to the sea.
They are not allowed to leave this cage unless the Black Emperor allows it.
Across the sea from them lies the White Emperor's prison, located at the bottom of Yingzhou.
The elders silently accepted the Black Emperor's decree and did not disobey it until his death.
Meanwhile, something very interesting happened: Odumbra was the brother of Ymir, also known as the Black Emperor Nidhogg, but in fact, he could not be called a dragon.
The Black Emperor did not consider his brothers as his own kind. He buried Odumbra in the ice fields, imitating what he did to the White Emperor Yggdrasil, using time to erase his will.
In other words, the Black Emperor created the dragon race, and the White Emperor created humanity. However, Odembula, who was also a supreme being, made no achievements. This is why he was easily defeated by the Black Emperor and there was no scene of him fighting the White Emperor for seven days and seven nights.
But now, the outcome is different.
With the birth of humankind, and with the birth of the first hybrid, a new figure crawled out of the graves beneath the ice plains. He emerged from the graves of Odembulla and called himself his younger brother.
His name is Bli.
From then on, with the spread of the hybrid race, Odembula, who should have been dead in the graveyard, also known as "Lu Mingfei," opened his eyes again. He looked at his younger brother, who had helped him up, another blood relative, and slowly spoke:
"I had another dream..."
Buli, the future devilish version of "Lu Mingze," interrupted him and said softly:
"Brother, all those who defy fate will be pierced through the deepest part of hell by a scorching spear."
That is our revenge against Nidhogg, and our mission.
On the icy plain, a man bearing Lu Mingfei's appearance sat amidst the biting wind. Looking down at this "younger brother" he was meeting for the first time, he lowered his head and whispered:
"I need to think about it some more."
Nobody knows what he's thinking.
Wang Anzhi only knew that this time, "Lu Mingfei" seemed to be extremely weak, so much so that he was unable to see him along the river of time as he had when they first met.
He only saw the little boy-like "Ancestor of the Gods" Buri stomp his foot hard, and then leave angrily as if he had seen a priest.
Lu Mingfei did not stop it.
Finally, in this far northern ice field, he saw the image of Bury being executed transmitted through the bronze pillars in the west.
Blood stained the pool water red, and a spear pierced through the heart and lungs.
Chapter 168 Even the most beautiful dreams eventually come to an end.
It wasn't until he saw the "devil" die that "Lu Mingfei" truly understood.
His feet sank into the ice and snow, the cold penetrating to his bones, yet he could almost feel the demon's blood flowing down to his bare feet.
The fierce winds of the mountains of Eastern Siberia whipped the snowflakes like blades, lashing his face as if cut by a knife. Blood stained the snowflakes and dripped onto the ground, turning the earth crimson.
But all this pain was nothing to Lu Mingfei at this moment. Just a quarter of an hour ago, he was a coward, lying on the snowfield licking the ice and snow, using the cold to numb his heart and lungs.
But a quarter of an hour later he had become a king, his crimson-gold pupils filled with sharpness and rage.
He wrapped himself tighter in his worn-out polar bear fur coat and gazed westward.
Lu Mingfei saw his younger brother nailed to a bronze pillar, with a pure white holy spear stuck in his chest.
His body was covered in wounds, each one bearing a different scar, some shallow and some deep.
This is the mark left by the "gods" who were summoned by the Black Emperor Nidhogg to witness the execution.
In a daze, a boy's voice floated into his ears, the voice of the boy still being executed on the bronze pillar, innocent yet stubborn:
"Brother, you've finally come to see me."
The boy coughed, spitting out a patch of blood.
Lu Mingfei rubbed his lips, but couldn't utter a single word. He could only watch as his younger brother's blood froze under the frost.
The boy, however, didn't seem to care. He laughed, a very happy laugh, as if he had seen something to be pleased about.
He was bound by chains, tied to a bronze pillar, wasting his life, but the boy seemed to be in a trance, giving his final instructions like an old father.
"Brother, run! Nidhogg already knows you exist."
He lowered his head, looked at the spear stuck in his body, smiled, and then raised his head, as if he could see "Lu Mingfei" through endless time and space.
“This time, I was reckless, which allowed Nidhogg to discover your whereabouts, and made it impossible for you to maintain the peaceful life you wanted.”
calm?
Lu Mingfei tugged at his polar bear coat again. The once white fur had become dull and dark, with a dozen or so small holes hidden where he wasn't looking.
This was what the boy had draped over him with a grin when he first woke up, saying to this relative he was meeting for the first time:
"Can I call you brother now?"
Unfortunately, Lu Mingfei was still very stubborn at that time. He believed that true family affection lay in long-term companionship rather than mystical connections, and he told his "brother" who was born because of him a story.
At the moment of his birth, he saw a giant that blotted out the sky. When he opened his eyes, the giant opened his eyes at the same time, and they depended on each other for survival.
And then? The boy tilted his head slightly, completely unconcerned about Lu Mingfei's indifference, and instead leaned forward, looking very ingratiating.
Then, Lu Mingfei clutched the polar bear coat in his hand; it was the first gift he had ever received.
The giant told him that his name was Ymir, and "Lu Mingfei" also enthusiastically told the giant his name: Odumbra.
He looked at the giant with excitement, pointed to the wild world and said, "From now on, we are brothers, sharing our friendship and this whole world."
Then, he saw a strange look in the giant's eyes.
At that time, "Lu Mingfei" or Odembula was too young to understand that it was a flame called "ambition".
This flame will eventually devour everything, including itself.
The boy watched as his older brother told him a story, but then suddenly stopped. He was curious and asked, "Brother, what happened next? Why did you stop?"
A bitter smile appeared on Lu Mingfei's lips; it was the most profound smile the boy had ever seen.
Next, Ymir found an opportunity, gripped the claws in her hand, plunged the blade into his heart, and buried him in the graveyard the boy could see.
Why did he do that? The boy felt a little angry. Shouldn't the world have been a blank at that time? Why did he choose to kill his brother? Wasn't he afraid of being alone?
Yes! Loneliness.
What Lu Mingfei feared most was insignificant to Ymir when he asked "why" to the brother who was gripping his heart with claws.
The giant, equally conflicted, stared at the man before him in silence for a long while. Only when "Lu Mingfei" felt his blood was about to drain away did he slowly speak:
"This world is mine."
"What?" Lu Mingfei seemed somewhat skeptical of this reason. Pointing to the empty world, he said:
There is nothing here.
“Yes, there is nothing here,” the giant looked at him with a complicated expression, “but there is something here that you cannot see, my brother.”
This was the first time Lu Mingfei had heard the giant Ymir, the future Black Emperor Nidhogg, call him "brother," and it might also be the last.
He felt his life slipping away in a daze, looking at his brother who bowed his head in shame. "My brother, what is here? What is in this empty land that has blinded you and made you choose to kill me?"
"The throne," the giant replied.
