After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King-Chapter 311 - 55: The Era of Dreams and Dragons

"In the distant past, when divine entities had not yet been born, there was only one enormous tree in this world... and countless mists. At that time, only we lived in the world."

"Colorful dragons and metallic dragons."

"..."

In a female voice, Satan Ye slowly opened her eyes, yawning lightly as she looked around at the environment... For some reason, she always felt uncomfortable underneath her, as if something was bothering her.

It was different from a bed or a cat...

Then, Satan Ye saw countless gold coins—in this enormous room, like a grand hall, there were many transformed into humanoid shapes, and dragons maintaining their dragon forms.

And the densely packed gold coins covered the hall...

"Wow..."

Satan Ye exclaimed softly, looking up at the sky, where the castle’s distant dome and open windows reflected sunlight onto the gold coins, illuminating the place in a magnificent splendor.

First came the joy from her bloodline, then immediately, Satan Ye thought... If she could bring all of this back to the Demon King Territory, how much food, spices, weapons, equipment, scientific materials could she buy?

*Unfortunately, she was likely in a dream now, so she couldn’t take them back.*

*Very unfortunate.*

Realizing her situation instantly, Satan Ye looked at the Blue Dragon lying not far away, then at the dragon in human form sitting atop the highest pile of gold coins, lecturing—a Silver Dragon with diamond lenses in front of its eyes.

*Perhaps it was nearsighted?*

"But the era of dragons lasted only a short time. After that... calamity descended, a world-destroying cold snap swept through the giant tree, encompassing dragons and creatures born beneath the tree, stripping away life."

The Silver Dragon narrated, while Satan Ye glanced around, pinching her face with increasing force... Then she hurt herself with the pinch.

"Ouch~"

Painfully whispering, Satan Ye temporarily abandoned the idea of waking herself quickly and looked at the surrounding dragons attending the lecture. She transformed herself into a dragon—turning into a cute and delicate black-red dragon lying on the pile of gold coins.

*Might as well listen to the lecture, it seemed to be about ancient times...*

"Later, the ancient tree belonging to dragons withered and decayed in the extreme cold... The era of extreme cold nearly extinguished life in the world, but after a long, long time, Igdrasil’s new sprout broke through the dead giant tree."

"That sprout became the current World Tree... Divine entities and Mana were born alongside the World Tree, which divided into the Nine Realms. The divine entities sealed the world-destroying cold in a distant place."

"The ten other disasters were also sealed within half-planes or outside the Nine Realms—the disaster of overgrowth, extreme cold disasters, the disaster of divine entities falling to evil gods, the disaster of the dead rising... and so on and so forth."

The Silver Dragon teacher continued, looking at one sleeping or daydreaming little dragon after another. She helplessly shook her head and continued with her lecture, saying: "Divine entities established their authority over life and death, heat and cold, light and darkness..."

"In the Era of Igdrasil—in the era of divine entities, dragons and gods made a pact atop the tree—’Though the era of the gods ascends, the dragon era persists; God’s Son and Dragon’s Son, if divine entities still endure, shall coexist peacefully until those days are no more.’"

"Then, the divine entities created their delegators—Angels and Demons, placing them at the highest and lowest locations to guard the sealed, most dangerous disasters. They then took Igdrasil’s sap and created tree elves."

"Next, they created the primordial—living ’flesh’ seeds. These seeds evolved, split, and transformed within the ocean, either remaining confined or advancing towards land, gradually transforming into forms similar to their brothers and sisters." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"Humans, Dwarves, Beastmen... became the second generation of children of the divine entities, needing much time to continue growing. The divine entities would watch them, and their brothers and sisters would protect them until they grew qualified to safeguard the ’disasters.’"

"..."

Satan Ye blinked, processing those words, suddenly realizing... the teacher was talking about the era of divine entities and before. She couldn’t discern the truth or fiction.

*But regarding the imposing ’giant tree,’ Satan Ye had a recollection. Her last similar dream, meeting with her ancestors, featured a giant tree.*

*Was that dream’s time before the era of divine entities?*

*What was it called... the era of dragons?*

*Moreover, what the Silver Dragon said intrigued Satan Ye a lot... Were these details merely a fantasy within her dream? Or were they actual events in the world?*

While Satan Ye was contemplating this, the Silver Dragon teacher adjusted her glasses and resumed lecturing: "The subsequent events, students surely know... One day, divine entities vanished, and Mana dispersed by Igdrasil became increasingly biased."

"Since then, only children possessing ’Mana Adaptability’ among intelligent creatures could master magic. The disasters capable of destroying the world would gradually break their seals... We could only hide here, within the little world belonging to dragons."

The Silver Dragon teacher continued, gazing out the window at the endless grasslands, oceans, and mountains of the ’Dragon Realm,’ saying: "On the day dragons and gods made the pact, the divine entities foretold—"

"The ten disasters will inevitably come, and living creatures are destined to grow enough to shoulder everything."

"..."

Speaking, the Silver Dragon scanned the little dragons, her gaze focusing on a black-red dragon—the only one attentively listening. She smiled contentedly: "But divine entities clearly didn’t foresee that the first surprise would come to them..."

"And living creatures obviously didn’t have enough time to grow under the protection of brothers, sisters, and the divine entities. The extinction of the Nine Realms might be predestined."

At that moment, the black-red little dragon lifted its head in inquiry, asking the Silver Dragon teacher: "So, among the ten ’disasters’ that will happen, the ’disaster of overgrowth’ is the first, right?"

Despite being surprised by the student’s question, the Silver Dragon felt delighted to have an inquisitive student... even if she had no recollection of this student. She answered—

"Yes, overgrowth caused by Mana will significantly impact the second generation of children of the divine entities, becoming increasingly severe with each occurrence."

"..."

*In that case, it perfectly matches.*

"What about the ’chaos’ disaster?"

Perplexed by this query, the Silver Dragon shook her head, indicating she hadn’t heard of such a calamity. She smiled and nodded at Satan Ye: "I haven’t heard of it, but if you have more questions, you can come to me after class... Now, class dismissed!"

With the sound of "class dismissed," each little dragon became lively, roaring with excitement as they flew towards the sky, ready to leave the classroom through various doors.

At this moment, Satan Ye felt the surroundings becoming increasingly blurry...

"Wait, teacher! The so-called ’chaos’ caused the divine entities to..."

However, before she could finish her question, a bright white light covered her entire view.

——————————

"Hoo...?"

"..."

"...The disaster of the dead! It’s from the stone tablet..."

Satan Ye suddenly opened her eyes amid the purring of cats, shouting but realizing... She had woken from the dream. Nearby, Yila seemed to have woken earlier, recording something.

"Hm? Had a nightmare?"

Noticing Satan Ye’s shout, Yila asked gently.
