Chapter 1471: Chapter 1471: Tracing Back to the Source

The Green Dragon Princess slightly furrowed her brow, but did not object: "Since sir is confident, let’s give it a try."

"Come on, if it were the princess in her prime, reverting to her true form to kill those forty people would be as easy as flipping one’s hand, but you, although strong in combat, probably lack such strength. It’s better to think of another method. It’s just borrowing a path, no need to make it so difficult." The Green Dragon girl thought highly of Li Yao’s strength, but still found the task exceedingly difficult.

"Then you can try to borrow the path in a bit." Li Yao didn’t argue back; instead, he opened the Frame Space, and troops of Skeletons appeared; two thousand skeleton leaders, already a formidable fighting force.

Even the Green Dragon girl couldn’t help but take notice, with Li Yao’s summoned spider tanks, fire hawks, hydra, along with 4000 other race-level leaders of Death Gods, the combat power surged in an instant by an inestimable amount.

"As I said, whether I succeed in my attempt or fail, I will ensure the princess’s safety. Even if my Soul Body disperses and returns to the original form, I can still attach a strand of Spirit to a companion to protect the princess and ensure her people meet up."

"I’ve always had faith in sir," the Green Dragon Princess sighed with relief, deep down.

No matter if the Green Dragon Princess’s words were genuine or meant to comfort Li Yao, they still made Li Yao feel at ease. Truly worthy of a powerful being who has mingled among the cosmos for countless tens of thousands of years, adept in all matters.

Some might say, with the Green Dragon Princess being so formidable, why did she still get schemed against?

Actually, the reason is quite simple. It’s because all Guardians are fighting an enemy they can never truly vanquish.

When the Temple of a Thousand Gods descended upon the Ancient God World, they were not without means to annihilate the Ancient Gods, but the issue was that several Ancient Gods had rooted themselves into the Ancient God World, fusing with the entire world and its core, sharing its prosperity and decline.

Among the Ancient Gods believed to be dead, there were two: one was consumed by the other four Ancient Gods during the descent process, before it could parasitize the world, where they devoured the strongest among them, sharing his power.

The other occurrence was when the Divine King, seeing the stalemate in the Guardians’ battle, couldn’t restrain his temper. He stretched out the Hand of the Heavens, reaching from outer space and grabbed Y’Shaarj, the most defiant Ancient God, from the ground, and then crushed him with his grip.

But the result was that the entire world wailed in pain, Star Soul also suffered trauma, a massive wound opened up, and the planet almost collapsed.

Later, relying on the energy sources of the Eternal Well and the Spring of Life, absorbing the cosmic energy of the starry sky, after a long time, the actual wound was finally repaired.

Hence, the Temple of a Thousand Gods could only seal the Ancient Gods then they became hands-off managers, passing on the direct responsibility to protect to three groups.

One group were the Titan Watchers, tasked with monitoring the two prime energy sources, maintaining the normal order of the Titan’s Relics, and of course, chiefly to collect data on the entire world for the Temple of a Thousand Gods.

Another was the prison guardians; largely Titan creations bred for combat, stationed above various prisons of the Ancient Gods to establish cities, in other words, jailers.

The third group was the Five-colored Dragon Clan, with their own specific tasks—also the heaviest workload —and they considered any threat to this world as their enemy.

However, the enemies they faced could never be killed, while the Ancient Gods could fail time after time and continue on without end.

Even Titans from the Temple of a Thousand Gods could fall into decadence over the long years, let alone the Guardians they created.

The prison guards, first and foremost, were isolated one by one, slowly consumed by corruption and decay. The first wave of Guardians also withered away due to internal strife stirred up by the Ancient Gods.

Only five dragon clans were left struggling to bear the burden, but each dragon clan also had its true mission and calling.

The black dragons guarded the earth to prevent the rebuke of the four Elemental Lords, the green dragons guarded the Emerald Dream against the erosion of the Old Gods, the bronze dragons guarded the timeline to maintain normal historical development. The blue dragons guarded the Magic Axis to keep the Focusing Rainbow running smoothly, harmonizing the elemental energy balance of the world, and the red dragons stood guard over the Holy Land, ensuring the stability of the dragon clans.

As other guardians withered, the dragon clans had been worn out for tens of thousands of years, especially the green dragons, who were stretched thin just maintaining the Dream.

For tens of thousands of years, who knows how many times they had thwarted the conspiracies of the Old Gods; even the most capable could overlook a plot amidst the endless schemes.

Dead dragons could not be resurrected, but the defeated Old Gods could rise again. Under such waxing and waning, the situation grew increasingly unstable.

Uldaman was the same, where the green dragons had dispatched elite legions to investigate and stabilize the situation. After hundreds of years of monitoring and then fighting, with no support, they were almost sealed and wiped out by cunning traps.

With Li Yao summoning so many skeletons, the Chaos Camp’s legions could not possibly be unaware, and they even dispatched some legions to guard against an ambush on this side.

This team was indeed very strong, and the Chaos Camp had also learned to mix and match different formidable troop types, surrounding and attacking an army of over ten thousand from Uldaman; there really was no reason not to triumph.

And Li Yao, along with two women, stepped forward, while the forty-person team from the other side also gathered.

The green dragon maiden insisted on trying to ask for passage, so she approached them directly. But when Li Yao saw several lizardmen in the opposing team, he knew that it was impossible for them to successfully ask for passage.

Dozens of people looked at Li Yao all at once, with one of the two leaders being a lizardman.

Anyway, Li Yao couldn’t tell the difference between one lizardman and another, as different races generally can’t recognize each other’s faces.

"Hahaha, I’m not seeing things, am I? Isn’t this Starfire’s Prairie Fire, in Soul Form?" the lizardman exaggeratedly exclaimed.

"It should be correct, although there are some changes from the original, they are not significant, and there is still the characteristic steel skeleton, it should be real," sneered a lion-like creature nearby: "Life is full of unexpected meetings, I heard you were very arrogant at the Assembly of a Thousand Races, now seeing you in person, you are just this much, it’s a pity I am too old to participate, otherwise you wouldn’t have had your moment of arrogance."

Everyone sneered, with Li Yao causing a loss of face for various races, those older ones who were unable to participate naturally did not think highly of Li Yao, just deemed the young ones incompetent.

The green dragon maiden did not understand the ins and outs, nor did she need to; instead, she directly said: "We sisters are from the green dragon clan, and since you too are opposing the fallen of Uldaman, why not clear the way? With a great enemy at our doorstep, why not put aside your grudge against this man."

On hearing they were from the dragon clan, others had not reacted much, but the eyes of several lizardmen lit up, with the leading lizardman hastily inquiring: "Did you say you are from the dragon clan?"

"Who else in this world would dare to impersonate a dragon clan?" the green dragon maiden scoffed.

"Then how can you prove it, you clearly look like ancient elves," said the lion-like creature.

Helplessly, the green dragon princess took off her hood, immediately revealing the two dragon horns that signified the bloodline of the Dragon King; it’s important to know that not just any dragon has horns...
