Chapter 556: The Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon!
Ling Ping’an stood in the void with his hands behind his back.
He looked at the world of fragments beneath him.
Name: The White Abyss.
It was a fragment of the great world of mountains and seas.
Because of various reasons, it drifted to the world he was in.
In the end, it had landed in his hands and became the laboratory for his creations.
“White Abyss…” He sighed. With a wave of his hand, a grave that had been buried deep in this world rose with a rumble from Mount White Water.
The majestic ancient tomb was surrounded by the Emperor’s aura.
This aura was like an ocean, vast and undetectable!
This aura was like a prison, deep and unapproachable!
Anyone who looked at it would feel a sense of awe!
Ling Ping’an felt its prowess and sighed, “If that Emperor had been at his peak, he would not have become an Outer God!”
This so-called Outer God was actually the embodiment of the universe’s laws.
There were innate Outer Gods.
They were the remnants of an annihilated universe that did not die out.
The resentment of the lives that had existed before the universe was destroyed could not be removed.
Thus, over time, there came to be terrifying lives that were nurtured by these ashes and resentment.
These were the innate Outer Gods.
The original ancestor of evil demons, Abhoss, had been born from this.
There were the innate Outer Gods, so of course there were acquired Outer Gods as well.
In order to rise up to become an Outer God in the past, one had to erode a world with basic rules.
Then, they would torture the living beings in that world.
They would make those living things constantly see hope, and then fall into despair.
They would keep repeating the cycle.
Eventually, they would completely erode and absorb the entire world.
Most of the Outer Gods originated in this manner.
This was also the reason why the Outer Gods were so powerful.
Anyone who confronted the Outer Gods would be confronting a broken universe full of suffering.
Even if they were to only see a tiny part of its reality…
The witnesses would be instantly eroded and distorted by the strength of the Outer Gods!
And beyond the outer gods, there were naturally some powerful existences who had the strength to contend against the Outer Gods.
The Emperor’s aura that Ling Ping’an was feeling now was one of those terrifying existences.
He felt the Emperor’s aura surging towards him in an imposing manner.
He could not help but become curious.
He gently stretched out his hand and turned into a huge invisible object that lifted up the ancient tomb.
The tomb was gently separated, revealing the ancient coffin buried within.
It was a stone coffin.
A simple stone coffin.
The dead buried within the stone coffin had long turned into a pile of yellow soil.
However, the God’s source that had been buried within the sarcophagus did not dissipate for a long time. Instead, it had condensed into a flame.
It would have been impossible for an ordinary person to discover the existence of that flame.
Because this was the legacy left behind by the person buried in the coffin for his descendants!
Only when the descendants of his bloodline got close to him would the flame be activated.
From there, they could start a ritual that had long been set up.
The strength and divine abilities of the ancestors would then be passed on to the descendants.
Unfortunately…
The person in the coffin would never be able to wait for his descendants to come and receive his inheritance.
This was because the great world of mountains and seas had quickly been torn apart by the increasingly intense war of destruction.
It had shattered into countless pieces.
Fortunately, Ling Ping’an now had a supreme divine ability.
There was nothing that he could not do.
Even if he did, he only needed to be a little smarter to solve the problem.
The secret of the person in the coffin had obviously not reached that stage yet!
Because he was not the emperor.
He was only the son of the emperor!
A prince!
And a dead prince at that!
Therefore, Ling Ping’an only held it lightly.
A flame emerged from the coffin and obediently fell into his palm.
He looked at the flame.
Its pale-white body was warm to the touch, like a spoonful of porridge freshly bought from the breakfast shop.
There was something faint within the flame body.
It was the stars!
The seven constellations; Jiao, Kang, Diao, Fang, Xin, Wei, Min!
The Azure Dragon’s Seven Mansions!
And so, the seven stars shone.
The pale-white flame body was like a small and exquisite azure dragon, circling around Ling Ping’an’s palm.
It seemed to be trying to please him, but it also seemed to be saying something.
Ling Ping’an looked at it and smiled.
He remembered the murals he saw in the tomb when his creations had found this ancient tomb.
“So you are the son of Emperor Gaoyang and Empress Zhurong!”
The flame circling around his palm turned slowly.
Two small words in ancient writing were left on his palm.
Kunwu!
Ling Ping’an nodded and said, “With Mount White Water, white water comes out, the White Abyss gets born, and Kunwu’s master will bathe in it!”
Without a doubt, this world was the White Abyss.
The shattered White Abyss of the Great Wilderness!
The Great Wilderness’s buried country that had been under the protection of Kunwu!
This buried country that had been under the protection of Kunwu was ruled by the vassals of the Gao Yang clan’s vassals.
That clan was a great celestial race!
There were many great emperors that had descended from it!
Unfortunately…
They were all gone!
In the entire Gao Yang celestial race, there was probably only this one Azure Dragon’s flame of the Seven Mansions left.
“I’ll find you a good successor!” Ling Ping’an said, “I won’t humiliate you!”
The Little Azure Dragon that was formed from the flame body immediately felt extremely grateful and bowed repeatedly.
Ling Ping’an casually put it away, into his own body.
He wanted it to be nourished and have the chance to recover.
The moment the flame entered his body…
It immediately felt as if it had arrived in Heaven!
But very quickly, it discovered that this heaven was not peaceful at all.
Pairs of terrifying eyes with malicious intentions opened.
It could not afford to offend any of the tenants here!
Fortunately, these tenants did not have any designs on him.
Those things only glanced at him before they shut themselves up again.
The small flame instinctively landed in a secluded place.
It obediently imitated the other tenants and tried its best to restrain its own aura. It carefully breathed in the nearly endless innate psionic power that was present.
Because…
There were not only tenants here, but also guards.
All of them were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. They were aggressive and arrogant guards.
They howled as they came and howled as they left.
Anyone who didn’t follow the rules here would only end up getting eaten alive!
…
Ling Ping’an released his hold slightly.
The ancient tomb slowly descended.
It returned to Mount White Water where it had been buried.
“The fire of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon…” He nodded. “It’s barely qualified to be used as a foundation establishment for little aunt!”
The fire of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon was the fire of the stars.
It was also the fire of the second wood.
This fire could grow from a single drop of fire to a prairie fire.
Moreover, the second wood was a subordinate.
Just like how vines would coil around a big tree.
This meant that there would be another chance to choose in the future.
Of course…
The most important thing was that this fire was passed down from Gao Yang.
Moreover, it was a divine fire that had gone through many disintegrations.
Hence, even an ordinary person would be able to endure it.
It wasn’t like other random things that had all sorts of side effects.
Moreover, it had a bright future.
Gao Yang…
Was a heavenly emperor!
He was equivalent to an Outer God.
Ling Ping’an put away the fire of the Azure Dragon’s Seven Mansions.
He lowered his head, and one by one, looked at his endless ‘children’ on the vast land.
They were the things he had created.
The insects he had found in the White Abyss Wastelands, the ‘insect clan’ that had been nurtured step by step.
They were also the main characters of his novels.
Now, these insects had grown to be big and fat.
They had already developed shells and sharp forelimbs similar to the abnormals’.
Many new variants had appeared.
There was the corrosive self-destructing insect.
They were one-of-a-kind creations that were like balls.
Their stomachs were filled with the alien’s fatal corrosive blood.
Once they encountered an attacker, they would immediately explode and shoot out powerful corrosive jets ten meters around them.
Even a tank could be melted instantly.
There were also assassin-type lurking bugs.
They had fast reflexes and were agile.
Most importantly, they hatched quickly.
A larva could hatch in a few seconds and its life cycle could be completed in a few minutes.
Moreover, it consumed very little resources.
Each of them was about the size of a hunting dog.
But they were like aliens.
They were smart, agile, and shared each other’s vision through the hive mind.
The more of them there were, the higher their IQ would be.
They were practically the first choice for large-scale attacks and consumption.
As long as a few self-destructing bugs were added to the group…
The modern army’s fortresses could also be conquered!
There were also huge citadel-like organisms.
Each of them was several meters tall and weighed up to three tons.
They were covered in heavy armor. These heavy armor could probably withstand normal small-caliber cannons.
They were the top choice for attacking fortresses.
And in the middle of these bugs…
The mother nest had already developed to the size of a small mountain.
This was already the fourth generation of the mother nest.
Ling Ping’an examined these creations of his.
He now knew that this was the result of his own experimentation.
It was also a type of risk hedging operation.
In order not to let him become too smart…
He could only let his body overflow with some unpleasant things, and let these little fellows bear it.
In the past, the number of things overflowing from his body was too little.
So, these little fellows weren’t affected much.
But now…
As he became smarter by the day…
These things would be affected more and more.
So…
They also had to become stronger as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if he wasn’t careful, they would all be distorted into non-flesh creatures.
That wouldn’t be too good.
If he were to lose the insect clan, a race that could receive the things that spilled out of his body at this stage…
Then the things in his body would inevitably leak into reality.
One careless mistake could distort a city.
It was very likely that he could wake up one day…
And discover the next day that Jiangcheng city had been accidentally distorted by him into another spatial dimension, another world.
This was the best outcome…
Under the worst case scenario.
The entire Earth would have to consider the matter of passing on their lineage in such a situation.
Therefore, he looked at the little cuties in front of him.
He listened to the affectionate neighs of these little fellows.
“I’ll bring you to a new world…”
“I’ve found some ‘good friends’ for you…”
“You have to learn from them!” Ling Ping’an said.
Behind him, his butler had already opened the door for him.
A huge door of light.
Behind this door was a new world.
It was a desert.
It was filled with cacti, and there was yellow sand everywhere.
Wandering elemental creatures were rampaging randomly upon the surface of the Earth.
…
Silithus.
Sylvanas had led her army of sun elves on this wasteland for many days.
The sun elves marched forward with unprecedented decisiveness and determination.
It shocked the entire Azeroth.
Whether it was the alliance or the tribe, no one knew what these newly developed elves who called themselves ‘Sun Elves’ were going to do.
They only knew…
That under the command of the Sun Queen…
The sun elves’ troop of 3,000 had killed everyone along the way!
The Alliance fleet, the Wolf Cavalry of the tribe…
All of them had lost their lives under the rain of the sun elves’ arrows.
Even the demons of the Burning Legion were killed by them.
For a moment, all forces were dumbfounded.
That was because Sylvanas had issued an announcement.
“We are only going to Silithus!”
“Anyone who stands in our way will be the enemy of all the sun elves!”
“If our goal cannot be achieved…”
“Then…”
“We will destroy this world!”
“Because… A world that stands in the way of our mission has no value at all!”
Azeroth was in an uproar.
Not only the alliance, but even the tribe was shocked speechless.
A force that talked about destroying the world?
All parties naturally blamed them.
But in the end, no one dared to come and stop them.
But, everyone also stepped up their surveillance.
It wasn’t just the tribes and alliances.
The Catastrophe Army, the Burning Legion…
Even the Black Dragon Legion sent out experts to keep an eye on the sun elves’ every move.
When Sylvanas led her expedition team and finally arrived at Silithus…
All parties were dumbstruck.
Because after the sun elves entered Silithus, they began to kill.
Twilight Hammer?
Kill!
The Cenarion Circle?
They warned them, and when their warnings weren’t listened to, they continued killing!
Except for those elemental creatures without intelligence.
Any living creature in Silithus was either driven out or killed in the wilderness.
Twilight Hammer suffered a devastating blow.
The Cenarion Circle was also forced to withdraw from Silithus.
Only a few legendary champions relied on magic to monitor these sun elves who were considered ‘lunatics’ in the eyes of others.
No one knew why these pointy-eared elves had come all the way to this barren place.
Could it be that they wanted to compete with the Qiraji Bug-men behind the beetle wall?
Or had they changed their minds to C’Thun?
Were they planning to release that evil god?
But it didn’t seem like it.
The sun elves only occupied the main points and surrounded the beetle wall.
People could only see the Queen of the sun elves.
The former Ranger-General led the Queen’s guards and patrolled day and night.
The alliance had once sent out Sylvanas’ sister, Vereesa, to ask these ex-higher-level elves what was wrong with them.
In the end, Vereesa never came back.
Soon, it was discovered that the young daughter of the Windrunner family had become a member of the sun elves.
She was given the title of Princess.
The future Queen of the sun elves!
At this moment, Sylvanas, together with her sister and most of the sun elves, gathered in front of the beetle wall.
Sylvanas said to her sister, “Aren’t you very curious?”
“You will soon understand…”
“The reason why we became what we are today…”
“That great, immortal, and divine strength!”
Vereesa looked at her sister.
She felt the boiling power of the sun within her sister’s body.
She understood that it was an undefeatable strength.
Strength that was comparable to Archimonde’s destructive strength!
This was something that she had always been curious about.
How did her sister become so powerful in such a short time?
And her clansmen.
Now, every individual of the sun elves possessed incredible strength.
They drew strength from the powers of the Sun.
They grew rapidly.
Vereesa did not even doubt that after ten or twenty years, all the forces in Azeroth, even the Burning Legion and the Calamity Legion, would not necessarily be able to defeat the sun elves.
Now, hearing her sister’s words, Vereesa asked without batting an eyelid, “Sister, do you mean…”
“That’s right!” Sylvanas’ beautiful hair floated high in the air.
Her long hair, which had been dyed by the strength of the Sun, was as bright as gold.
Her eyes flickered with a fanatical look that made Vereesa afraid.
“Our Lord…”
“The undefeatable immortal great Lord…”
“Will have to lower himself to come to a small world like ours…”
“What kind of honor would this be?”
“And how glorious would this be!”
Hearing this, Vereesa turned pale with fright.
Many bad memories and legends surfaced in her heart.
In order to pursue strength, Azshara summoned the Burning Legion and ultimately caused the explosion of the Well of Eternity.
The Wings of Death were corrupted by the whispers of the ancient god. They had fallen from being guardians to the Wings of Death of today.
Similarly, Medivh had also fallen.
He had single-handedly dominated the door of darkness.
Now…
Something like this was going to happen to the Windrunner family?
She was just about to stop and persuade her sister.
But Sylvanas had already turned around.
Her beautiful face was beaming brightly. “I know. What are you trying to say?”
“My dear sister…”
“But you have no idea. The Great One that we serve and worship…”
“My dear sister…”
“Look!” She raised her head with incomparable fanaticism.
“Witness the immortality and holiness of the Great One that we serve!”
Vereesa raised her head.
At some point in time, the sky above Silithus was filled with stars.
However, the sun was still shining.
The stars were shining and connected.
One could faintly hear the stellaris singing.
They were singing about the master of the stars, the creator of the universe.
The undying… Omniscient… Almighty… Master!
