Chapter 763 -758: The Dragon Emperor is Dying
Hanlu City.
Bai Qiucha and Zhuge Chen exchanged glances, obviously feeling a bit awkward.
“Say, Bai Qi,” Zhuge Chen looked warily at Bai Qi, who was calmly savoring his food alone, “We just finished battling the Five Dragon Guards of the Dragon Dynasty. Isn’t it too risky to return to the city now?”
“The most dangerous place is the safest place. Besides, even if they see us, they probably won’t recognize us, will they?”
Bai Qi looked at the two “strangers” before him who bore no resemblance to their youthful selves, but rather appeared to be middle-aged, bearded men.
Of course, Bai Qi wasn’t so audacious as to wander around Hanlu City with his real face, so he had everyone wear virtual masks that altered their appearances.
More so, Bai Qi had Beta alter their auras as per Shadow’s method. Now, even if three Legendary Giant Dragons stood in front of them, they wouldn’t recognize who they were.
“In theory, yes, but I still feel like we’re taking too many risks.”
Bai Qiucha sighed helplessly and said, “After all, I’m now a notorious wanted criminal. If I get discovered, you two will also be implicated.”
“Speaking of which, Cha, what did you do to create such a stir?”
Bai Qi, curious, turned to Bai Qiucha and laughed, “And that Bone Demon, such a tacky name, who gave you that?”
At Bai Qi’s words, Bai Qiucha became even more resigned.
“I arrived here about half a year ago. To understand the situation, I intentionally hid the Bone Dragon and only moved around the city with the Blast Mouse.”
“But there are just too many Dragon Pet Beast Masters in this era, someone noticed the lingering aura of the Bone Dragon on me. Unable to avoid it, I summoned the Bone Dragon and they started calling me Bone Demon.”
On hearing Bai Qiucha’s words, Bai Qi looked sympathetic.
They all had crossed dimensions, he had formed friendly relationships with the Law Emperor, Zhuge Chen had become the Martial Emperor’s teacher.
And Bai Qiucha had been pursued as a villain. This luck was really something else.
“But I should also thank them. During their hunt, I advanced to Legend and even managed to merge the Soul-summoning Seal and the Bond Curse Mark.”
Bai Qiucha pointed to his forehead and said, “Now the effects of both seals can be applied to both the Bone Dragon and the Blast Mouse simultaneously. You could say I’ve turned misfortune into a blessing.”
“So that’s why the Blast Mouse was so powerful.”
Bai Qi nodded and glanced at Zhuge Chen.
While both had the Bond Curse Mark, Zhuge Chen could only maintain his pet in an evolved state, but Bai Qiucha could still use it, seemingly because of the effect of Soul-summoning Seal.
The unique talent really was extraordinary.
“But since you can use the Bond Curse Mark, why didn’t you activate the Blue Dragon state? If you had done so, you wouldn’t have been reduced to the Bone Demon, right?”
Bai Qi voiced his doubt, but Bai Qiucha looked confused and said, “I’m not sure. After advancing to Legend, I could use the Bond Curse Mark, but besides gaining the abilities of the Blue Dragon, the Bone Dragon’s appearance hasn’t changed.”
“No change in appearance? Is it due to the limitations of this world? Or is it because the power of Bond Curse Mark hasn’t fully manifested?”
Bai Qi, rubbing his chin, couldn’t figure it out even after a moment of contemplation, so he simply let it go.
“By the way, Cha, since you’ve been here for half a year, you should be familiar with this place, right?”
Bai Qiucha nodded and said, “Although I’ve been hiding my identity most of the time, I still understand the basic situation.”
Bai Qiucha paused and then said, “Judging by your appearances, you should already know that this is the Dragon Dynasty, right?”
“Yes, seeing so many dragon pets should have given it away.”
Bai Qi nodded and agreed.
“But do you know that the Dragon Emperor is dying?”
Bai Qiucha looked serious, pointing to the Dragon Race’s carving on the doorpost nearby, “If I remember correctly, the Dragon Emperor will die in two months according to the record, and the Dragon Dynasty will then fragment.”
“The Dragon Emperor will die in two months?”
Bai Qi was a bit surprised. He knew that the Dragon Emperor was in his twilight years, but he didn’t expect the Dragon Emperor was going to die in just two months.
“Cha, are you sure this intel is accurate?”
Bai Qi asked seriously.
“Yes, I wasn’t so sure at first, but my family elders showed me many ancient books to help me resolve the fusion issue of the Soul-summoning Seal and Bond Curse Mark, which happened to contain information related to the Dragon Emperor.”
“I wasn’t entirely sure at first, but after what happened a month ago, I’m thoroughly convinced.”
“What happened?”
Bai Qi and Zhuge Chen looked at each other, and even Schuck quietly poked his head out of the Beast Control Space, listening curiously.
“A month ago, the Dragon Emperor’s son killed the son of the Crystal Palace’s Dragon Emperor in the Eastern Sea, and the Crystal Palace declared its severance from the Dragon Dynasty.”
“If the records in my family are correct, the Dragon Emperor will die three months after the Dragon Slaughter event.”
“And after the Dragon Emperor’s death, the Dragon Dynasty will fall into chaos and gradually fragment.”
After listening to Bai Qiucha’s description, Bai Qi’s thoughts finally fell into place.
The reason why the Deep Sea Alliance named its headquarters after the Crystal Palace was also to commemorate the Crystal Palace in the Eastern Sea back then.
After all, their headquarters was indeed built on top of the Dragon Emperor’s tomb, and the relationship between the Dragon Emperor and the Crystal Palace was recorded in every account.
As for the downfall of the Crystal Palace, Bai Qi had heard that it was related to a human teenager, but Bai Qi did not expect that it would be the son of the Dragon Emperor.
“The Dragon Emperor rose to prominence with the help of the Eastern Dragon, I did not expect his own son’s actions to ruin the relationship with the Crystal Palace. Even the most badass leaders have a couple of troublesome kids, it seems.”
Bai Qi felt a strange sense of empathy, just now he had found it weird, during the Dragon Dynasty period, both the Eastern and Western Dragons were very popular, but the leading figure was evidently the Eastern Dragon.
But in the battle that had just trapped Bai Qiucha, there wasn’t a single Eastern Dragon to be seen.
It appeared that the Eastern Dragon’s stance on the dragon slaughtering incident was already abundantly clear.
“Indeed, due to this situation, Eastern Dragons gradually left the Dragon Dynasty which directly led to the Dragon Dynasty’s Divine Dragon Beast Masters being left with no pets to use.”
Bai Qiucha sighed with a helpless look, saying, “As you saw just now, the Dragon Dynasty is now mostly controlled by Western Dragon Beast Masters, and their relationship with the Eastern Dragon Beast Masters… you understand.”
“I see.”
Bai Qi nodded, continued to ask, “By the way, I noticed that Wu De was still able to command the Black Dragon. Do Black Dragons still obey humans during this period?”
“I also found that weird initially; from what I gathered, the Black Dragons’ relationship with humans during this period seems to be quite good.”
Bai Qiucha paused, then said, “It is said that after receiving the support of the Eastern Dragon, the Dragon Emperor went on to find the nests of the Green Dragon, the Red Dragon, and the Black Dragon, successfully persuading them to let go of their prejudices against the Eastern Dragon and formed an alliance with humans.”
“It was because of this that the Dragon Dynasty, at its peak, was so powerful that even the tribes could only avoid their force.”
“Unfortunately now…”
Bai Qiucha sighed, obviously feeling regretful.
“History has already been determined, no need to fret so much.”
Bai Qi patted Bai Qiucha’s shoulder, informed him about the experiences of him and Zhuge Chen, and Bai Qiucha gradually understood.
“Does that mean that our time travel is actually predestined, or that we are just a cog in the endless wheel of history?”
“From what it seems now, indeed so.”
Zhuge Chen laughed helplessly, if he had found it odd before that the Martial Emperor, despite his surname being Zhang and not even being skilled in martial arts, managed to establish a kingdom with martial might, now he completely understood.
Who told him that the fake name he initially reported was Wu Chen? If he had chosen a different name, perhaps history would’ve been different.
“Although unwillingly, our actions will not change history, but instead propel it.”
Bai Qi paused and said, “However, based on the feedback from the Cowskin Snake, it seems that our choices on a certain special temporal node might influence the course of history. It’s just that the Cowskin Snake left in a hurry and didn’t get to tell us.”
“Really?”

Bai Qiucha’s eyes lit up at the news, if they really can change the course of history, maybe they could avoid the battles they went through before time travel, allowing humans more time to prepare and better respond to these disasters.
“From the way the Cowskin Snake looked, it doesn’t seem like it was lying. The next time we meet it, we will have to question it thoroughly.”
Saying so, a cloud of gloom shadowed Bai Qi’s face.
The Cowskin Snake was currently being hunted by the Wing of Death, he didn’t quite know if it could escape safely.
If it couldn’t, and the Wing of Death once again came for them, would they have the ability to combat it?
“We definitely should increase our power as soon as possible~”
Bai Qi tapped his head, beginning to contemplate the upgrading plan for their pets.
Herbage and the Absurd Clown, as well as Delta, had now all become high-grade emperors, having already mastered Rule Skills, with probabilities of becoming Legendary Creatures being high.
The one that had a higher probability of evolving was Herbage, which had its own exclusive secret realm, they could focus on aiding its evolution.
Delta also had an exclusive realm, but the Time Secret Realm still wasn’t complete, and there was no lead on the Space Secret Realm, likely they’d have to wait awhile.
As for the Absurd Clown, Bai Qi still wanted to find an exclusive secret realm for it, so as to maximise the enhancement in combat power.
As for Gamma, its attributes were very strong, but it hadn’t even mastered a single Rule Skill. Unless they were to find another Angel or Demon, it was likely that upgrading would be difficult.
As for Jie Ta… that could be set aside temporarily, as it had no hope of becoming legendary in the short term.
“The path of endeavor is long and challenging…”
Bai Qi massaged his brow, for now putting these issues aside, and got back to the original topic.
“Cha, do you know the location of the Dragon Emperor?”
“I do. From the intelligence I gathered, the Dragon Emperor might be heading towards the Eastern Sea to negotiate with the Crystal Palace in a month,” replied Bai Qiucha.
“Great, then we’re heading to the Eastern Sea!”
“Bai Qi, are you going to find the Dragon Emperor?” asked Zhuge Chen.
“Of course, since no matter which era we travel to has its significance, naturally we should go to the most critical location.”
“Since we can’t escape, might as well head straight into the epicenter of the storm to see what responsibility we truly bear.”
“Maybe, we might be able to change a few things too!”
