"Alright, now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, can you put me down?"

Fang Xing’s pendant emitted a sound: "I am a scholar from the ’Scholars’ Association’, hailing from Green Forest... You may call me Abel."

"A ’Prophet’ from the Scholars’ Association?"

Wal looked towards Abel with a doubtful expression, "You actually did not prophesy this great catastrophe?"

"Destiny is always erratic and sometimes even mocks the travelers." Abel shook his head, "But just now, I received a new prophecy — with everyone’s combined efforts, this event will certainly be resolved perfectly."

"Less talk, more action. For every minute we waste now, another person in the city dies... What do you know about the Dragon Spirit?"

Fang Xing looked impatiently towards the Tulip Duke.

The Tulip Duke hastily recited a few spells, fetching a white bone from the cabinet: "This is ’Dragon Bone’... Of course, it’s different from what we imagine, it doesn’t come from a real dragon... but it’s a bone from my ancestor’s body that got tainted after combining efforts with the saints of the Radiant Church to seal the Dragon Spirit, forming the Sealing Key."

"I see... so it was ’Bloodline Seal’ that was used?" Beimes murmured, seeming to understand a lot: "It seems that the generations of Tulip Dukes have still been coveting dragons..."

"It is our duty, and also our responsibility."

The Tulip Duke handed the white bone fragment to the Bishop with a dignified manner, "It is a pity... the hopes of our ancestors are hard to fulfill by later generations, the conditions to control a Great Spirit are simply too harsh... Even if barely achieved with the aid of various mystic objects, it can only be maintained for a brief period."

Naturally, it is more enjoyable to be a Duke than to have that momentary power.

After all, as a person of high rank, one could simply order the Transcendents to work for them, so why take the risk themselves?

However, this rule only applied in an era when order still existed.

Now that the Radiance was fading, things were gradually becoming different.

"I can sense it... The Dragon Spirit is asleep, it flows through the Grolon Mountains, beneath the Golden City..."

Bishop Beimes took the bone fragment, and immediately his eyes erupted with Radiance.

Specks of light even started to spew from his mouth, as if he was a container for ’light’, and now he could hardly contain the Radiance any longer.

The ’Dragon Spirit’ originally differed from those western dragons with wings in Fang Xing’s past life.

It was an Evil Spirit, not a real dragon.

In fact, its form was not even definite, it could be wind, the groundwater... or even an unconscious mass of atmosphere.

It flowed between the Grolon Mountains and the Golden City, sealed by some special method.

"Unfortunately, I can’t command it to awaken..."

Bishop Beimes was somewhat silent.

By then, vague coughing and screaming could already be heard from outside.

"How could this be?"

The Tulip Duke showed a look of surprise, "You are a Bishop of the Radiant Church..."

"The Great Spirit is too powerful, I cannot bear its spirit... My consciousness is not strong enough..." Beimes shook his head.

"Right now, the whole city is falling into death, the Tulip territory contributes a vast amount to the Church every year... even now, it is still contributing, selecting Holy Daughters for the Church..."

The Tulip Duke’s eyes reddened slightly, "Where is the Saint then? The Church’s Saint? Why has not Saint Hittings who sealed the Dragon Spirit come yet?"

"I think you’ve misunderstood something. Saints who are sealed after becoming saints will accompany the Divine and cannot descend to the Mortal World... It’s an ironclad rule. The Saint Hittings of the past suppressed the Dragon Spirit before he was made a Saint, not after..."

Beimes shook his head, his face filled with helplessness.

"Let me try."

Fang Xing reached out naturally and took the white bone fragment.

His Spiritual Power swept through it, and instantly, following an indistinct connection, he saw the deep and twisted Grolon Mountains, a mass of Evil Spirit sleeping at the base of the mountains.

At this moment, the Evil Spirit even gradually took on a ’form’!

It had scales dark as night, a lizard-like body, bat-like wings, and each breath from its nostrils seemed to spew out flames.

It actually seemed to have transformed into a ’dragon’!

’Actually, a dragon? Interesting... originally just a mass of Evil Spirit, but has the Tulip territory’s many years of Evil Dragon legends gradually condensed faith, the believers’ conviction, and shaped the Divine into the form they desired?’

A sentence inexplicably surfaced in Fang Xing’s mind: ’There were no dragons in this world, but as belief grew, dragons gradually came into existence...’

He glanced at the Tulip Duke: ’No, it’s not just that... It’s more likely that the Tulip Duke, in order to control this Great Spirit, deliberately spread many Evil Dragon legends to shape it... Is this also a key step in controlling it? But now... all plans have been disrupted.’

"Starr, how is it?" Wal had some faith in Fang Xing.

"I am going to awaken the dragon."

Fang Xing closed his eyes, a third eye seemingly opened between his eyebrows, and the Great Sun Relics stirred slightly, sending rings of the Great Sun’s radiance cascading down to merge into the body of that giant dragon.

In a mere instant!

The scales of the ’Black Dragon’ gradually changed to the bright red of flames, as if it had transformed from a Black Dragon into a Red Dragon!

Its body swelled, grotesque bones sprouted from its head, and its dragon horns turned intricate and precise, spiraling and forking upwards like a crown!

The dragon’s eyelids trembled, and abruptly it opened them, revealing a pair of ferocious and cold vertical pupils.

A distant and ancient dragon’s roar suddenly emanated from the Grolon Mountains.

Countless peaks shook, stones tumbled, beasts ran as if a great earthquake had occurred.

— The Dragon!

— Had awakened!

Swoosh!

A shadow that blotted out the sun emerged from the mountains, swiftly descending over the Golden City’s sky.

With the shadow of the dragon sweeping by, the dark green Spirit Domain vanished without a trace.

Only another Spirit Domain could counter a Spirit Domain!

"Roar!"

Amidst the dragon’s chanting, a huge object with a body length of dozens of meters and wings nearly a hundred meters wide suddenly appeared above the skies of the Golden City.

It let out a dragon’s roar, and its belly became hot and scorching in an instant.

After opening its dragon’s maw, streams of flame instantly ’ignited’ the Golden City!

On closer inspection, one would realise that the ’ignited’ included neither people nor objects, just streams of greenish-black mist and those pitch-black rat tides.

It was as if the flames existed only in illusion and not in the real world.

...

In a residential house.

"Mommy!"

A girl, coughing non-stop, said, "I’m scared!"

Her complexion had already turned greenish-black, as if she could succumb to the illness and die at any moment.

"My Xi Li, my baby... Mommy will definitely cure you," a woman held her daughter tightly, her face full of despair.

Suddenly!

A streak of crimson flame descended from the sky!

This flame was not scorching; instead, it seemed warm.

Enveloped and licked by the flame... the blisters on their skin instantly scabbed over and fell off... revealing their originally smooth skin.

Even the scorching heat in their lungs and bodies seemed to fade away with the dispersing flames...

"Radiance bless us!"

The mother, seeing her daughter who seemed to have recovered, immediately burst into tears...

...

Scenes like this unfolded throughout various parts of the city.

And within a ball of fire, suddenly came an ear-piercing noise.

Squeak, squeak!

The Red Dragon landed, its great wings beating and reducing a building to rubble.

Amidst the dust-filled sky, a rat-faced great spirit appeared!

Its emerald eyes looked at the dragon, with no attempt to hide its malice.

Whoosh!

Then, one rib after another pierced through its humanoid body, growing immensely large.

Thud, thud!

The bones hit the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it was as if they formed a core with the spine and numerous ribs as support, turning into a white bone creature.

At the top of the creature was a huge rat’s head.

The countless bones seemed like a cage, with an overwhelming might, as if it had turned into a cage, imprisoning the Red Dragon inside it.

From afar, it looked like a tiny red bird caged within a birdcage.

...

"A dragon?"

"A Dragon Spirit from the Goron Mountain Range."

Atop the mountain, a wizard of poison, just having recovered from the earthquake, saw the great dragon and a flash of shock crossed his face, "A great spirit..."

Then, his expression gradually turned fierce, "A great spirit, trying to stop the destruction of the entire city? No... the Great Master will let them know that all defiance is futile!"

"Quick, set up the altar and the ritual, I must beseech the power of our lord!"

No Origin Spirit can stray too far from the Body after consuming the ’Pale Mother’; it’s a chain of instinct.

But... while an Origin Spirit cannot arrive in its actual body to the Mortal World, it can send down its power.

Previously, the Great Master had done exactly that to help Elder Priscilla, binding the ’Cat Eater God’ to her body.

And now, this wizard of poison was preparing to summon the ’Great Master’ to deliver the final blow to the Golden City!

"Found it!"

Suddenly, a flash of gold.

Fang Xing’s figure emerged atop the peak.

Using the Dragon Spirit’s vision, he immediately spotted these devious individuals.

Bang, bang!

Almost the moment he landed, the heads of two wizards of poison exploded.

Then, the terrifying Martial Arts Will descended, reducing the wizard of poison to almost an idiot.

He reached out his hand and placed it on top of the wizard’s head: "Destroying God Soul Searching!"

In an instant, streams of information surfaced in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Hmm? So the main purpose is still to force the Tulip Duke into submission, and killing me is just incidental?"

"Great Master... ritual diagram... Origin Spirit can actually project some power down here?"

A moment later, Fang Xing let go of the corpse in his hand, his face revealing a thoughtful expression, "Even if the Great Master cannot arrive in actual form, he can send his power to the Mortal World, which means the Church’s ’Saints’ should be able to as well... Beimes didn’t have any such moves before."

"Is it his personal reason? Or is there a problem with the Radiant Church as a whole?"

"Has Radiance fallen?"

He pondered this saying, then looked towards the Golden City: "No matter... the most urgent thing now is to quickly deal with that rat."
