The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 907 - 0904: A Dream in Nanke (Second Update)

"Brother, come here for a moment."

After trying and failing to activate the Time Scepter again, Ach decisively called for Li Si Te (Liszt).

Jumping directly off Ethan's back, Bard quickly caught him, then sat on the Dragon Tooth Platform. "What happened?"

"Just now, Ach accidentally activated the Time Scepter and then saw a very peculiar scene—Bard had grown up, and brother had reached middle age, wearing a set of armor solidified from flames, saying to Ach," Ach mimicked the voice from the scene, "…Ach, time cannot hinder me, I will conquer the Exiled Lands."

"Time cannot hinder me, I will conquer the Exiled Lands?" Li Si Te (Liszt) stroked his chin, "Conquering the Exiled Lands… This authoritative tone does suit me, but what does 'time cannot hinder me' mean? Ach, describe the scene you saw in detail again."

When Ach depicted the scene she had witnessed in detail, including the adult Formless Dragon, the middle-aged appearance of Liszt, the surprised expressions, the tone of speech, and the armor, all were carefully described.

Liszt then started to ponder deeply.

Armor condensed from flames made him think of Leo, perhaps a new Dou Qi Secret Technique he had developed, which could be performed together with Leo.

It might also be some kind of divine level Magic Equipment.

"Time cannot hinder…" Ach, how did you see this scene?"

"I don't know, Ach was just wondering what brother would look like in the future, and what Ach would look like in the future, and then she saw it. If it weren't for the severe consumption of magic power by the Time Diamond, Ach would have thought it was an illusion, but the vision was incredibly clear."

"If that's the case, it's possible that the Time Diamond presented a future scene to you. By the way, you mentioned I had a scruffy beard in the scene?"

"Yes."

Li Si Te (Liszt) immediately relaxed, "It seems it's just one of the many possibilities of the future, and a very improbable one at that. Ach, you should understand why; the first thing I do each morning is shave. As a great Dragon Knight, a noble King, personal image is extremely important."

He disliked having a beard, he would shave it off the moment it showed even a little bit.

"And also, I am the embodiment of the Knight's glory, even fate must bow before me, how could the Time Diamond foresee the future when it's inherently uncertain."

Even the destiny-maneuvering Smoke Dragon would experience death, with remnants of the Power of Destiny clinging to him.

As for the Twilight Dragon, representing time, it hadn't been born for many years, meaning it too had died. Such magically powerful dragons couldn't even grasp their own futures, let alone the futures of others.

"But brother, does 'time cannot hinder' mean Ach might die before brother since Sea Serpents only live four to five hundred years? If brother bonds with the Immortal Dragon, you could live forever. Maybe the Time Diamond saw something like that." Ach said with a slight girlish sentimentality.

Her eyes slightly misted, as if imagining some romantic notion—two lovers who cannot be together, parting with tears.

Li Si Te (Liszt) chuckled, "If I can't enjoy life with Ach, what's the point of bonding with the Immortal Dragon? Ach, don't overthink it." He vigorously ruffled Ach's bright blue hair, how could he ever let go of Ach, not even for a moment.

He strongly concluded, "The Time Diamond merely provides a possibility, perhaps reflecting the future scene formed by your desires. You think separation by death is romantic, so it presented you with such a scene."

"Yes."

After being counseled by Li Si Te (Liszt), Ach also felt the future was full of uncertainties and unpredictable fates.

Li Si Te (Liszt) then added, "However, conquering the Exiled Lands, such a grand undertaking, is indeed to my liking. If the Exiled Lands truly exist, I'm bound to conquer them someday… this world has too many wondrous and bizarre places, it would be a pity if we didn't explore them all in our lifetime."

"Ach would like to see the Exiled Lands too."

"Don't worry, when the time comes, we'll conquer the Exiled Lands together." Li Si Te (Liszt) took Ach's hand and pulled her into his embrace, then grabbed the Time Scepter, "Come, teach me how to activate it. I want to see what the future looks like through my eyes."

"If Ach is not mistaken, the power of the Time Diamond requires the combination with the Tree of Golden Apples. There is a legend that says the effect of the Golden Apples is to fulfill one's desires. Perhaps if brother imagines the future earnestly, it could stimulate the Time Diamond and show the future scene."

"I'll try it."

Liszt began to fantasize about the future with all his might. He had countless outlines for the future, but no matter how he imagined it, he couldn't activate the Time Scepter.

Then he let Ach try to activate it, and Ach also tried many times, but to no avail.

"Could it be a lack of magic power? That's not right either. The Time Diamond has consumed some of its magic power, but there's still a lot left. It shouldn't be unable to activate. Otherwise, if the Ancient Magician made it, could it only be used once? It should be a regular magic wand," Liszt speculated.

Perhaps there was one possibility, "As someone who holds the power of destiny, the Time Diamond simply cannot reflect my future."

All day long.

He was too busy to train with Ethan, as he occupied himself with trying to activate the Time Scepter, but the Time Scepter didn't respond at all; instead, it exhausted him until he felt dizzy and had a headache.

At night.

The team camped by the Rhine River. He simply held the Time Scepter as he slept and subconsciously suggested to himself, "Imagine the future, imagine the future!"

Just like that, as he was about to drift off in a daze, suddenly, his vision blurred, and the tent lit by a crystal lamp seemingly transformed into an endless starry sky.

A pristine shell hovered above the starry sky.

A female magician dressed in a luxurious magic cloak, with magic seemingly overflowing, had azure hair. She held a dusty longsword, gazing into the endless starry sky. Seemingly sensing something, the female magician suddenly turned her head—it was Ach's familiar beautiful face.

But she appeared more mature, with a sweet smile on her lips, emitting a surreal voice, "Brother, you've come."

Liszt felt a bit muddled, "You... something's not right. If I'm seeing a vision of the future, how can you talk to me?"

"Hehe, brother, the Time Scepter has already reflected time. Ach and brother are in different times and different spaces. Among countless possibilities, we found one possibility to have a short conversation."

"Ah!" Liszt, stunned, didn't know what else to express for a moment.

By now, Ach had completely turned around. Her luxurious magic cloak, composed of several colors, was like a magnificent dress, adorned with dense magical patterns, making her seem like a divine maiden from the heavens, noble and flawless.

"Brother looks so young, hmm, you must ride dragons more often, it's best to ride every dragon on the Legendary Continent and Mafa Continent!" Ach spoke and then suddenly looked behind at the starry sky, frowning, "It's awakened, this creature is even more annoying than Dulu Miqita. Ach must hide, oh, I forgot to remind brother, the Immortal Dragon is in the Exiled Lands!"

The next moment.

Ach casually waved, and a magic gate appeared beside her. With a sweet smile towards Liszt, she stepped into the magic gate and disappeared without a trace.

"Ah?" Liszt still hadn't grasped the situation.

Within the backdrop of the endless starry sky, suddenly a pair of eyes opened, filled with a bone-chilling gaze, indescribable, unbearable to directly face.

Just a fleeting glance at Liszt.

The next moment.

The ethereal vision shattered, and the scene returned to the tent lit by the crystal lamp, but Liszt couldn't break free from the gaze of those eyes for a long time. He shivered all over as if encased in millennia-old ice, unable to move, even his breathing and thoughts halted.

Clatter!

A glass breaking sound, like a sudden hammer strike, pulled Liszt from his frozen state. He gasped heavily, his heart contracting fiercely, still out of breath.

After a long while.

He suddenly realized that the Time Diamond at the top of the Time Scepter had shattered into fragments, just like a common gemstone drained of magic power.

And the scepter crafted from the Tree of Golden Apples had also decayed into ordinary rotten wood.

"Was it all just a dream?" His heart felt a sense of loss, but his mind was very clear; a dream couldn't simply destroy a divine artifact like that.
