In the palace, a wooden table with dragon image patterns appeared. Yuchi and Long Fengyun were seated opposite each other.
This was the result of Long Fengyun forcing him to stay.
Yuchi originally had no intention of staying, but in the end, he still stayed to accompany the other party and say a few words. After all, he had completely wiped the other party’s ancestor from this world. Thinking carefully, Long Fengyun could be considered to have an open mind.
“If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. If I can answer them, I won’t avoid them.”
Long Fengyun immediately nodded.
“Senior, what is your name?”
“Yuchi.”
Long Fengyun committed this name to memory. Then, he asked in a rather serious manner, “How did you manage to fight with the ancestor? Although this might not be a good way to put it, our ancestor died a long time ago.”
“You shouldn’t have had the chance to fight him.”
This was something that Long Fengyun was quite puzzled about.
How could he possibly fight with someone who had already died? This was not in line with his understanding of conventional logic.
“I have a way to communicate with ancient dead souls. I can’t tell you the specific method, but I can tell you one thing very clearly. Before I fought with your ancestor, I told him very clearly that I would be able to resurrect him in the future. I wanted him to fight me fair and square, and not in this weakened dead soul state.”
“But your ancestor disdained this.”
“At that time, he was indeed more powerful than me. However, he had died many years ago, so his fighting spirit was no longer as strong as it was while he was alive. This is a common problem for many dead souls. After being dead for a long time, some don’t even remember who they are. It’s really sad.”
Long Fengyun felt quite complicated after hearing this.
Yuchi had said that his ancestor was very powerful. This was definitely not a baseless compliment, and Long Fengyun was still quite grateful to hear this.
However, he was also said that his ancestor lacked the will to fight, which made him feel a little unhappy.
In his opinion, members of the dragon race would never lack the will to fight.
It was a pity that one’s fighting spirit would gradually weaken after death.
After all, no matter how powerful a person was, they would also gradually disappear from the world after they died.
Long Fengyun sighed.
Seeing Long Fengyun’s expression, Yuchi sat up straight and said, “I don’t usually talk to people, but I think I still have to remind you. The past is the past, and the present is the present. Dead souls are still dead, while the you are still walking among the living”
“You should keep the two separated.”
“It’s impossible to decide the present just because of the past. You shouldn’t be consumed by what happens after death.”
Long Fengyun remained silent.
Yuchi finally said, “I can only tell you this much. These are some of my shallow insights. Perhaps I might be right today, but I may be wrong in the future. However, this does not affect my own will, nor my decisions.”
“If you are really worried about the future of your dragon race, then strive to defeat me. All things will become easier to deal with once you become strong.”
Just as Yuchi said, he usually did not speak much and gave people the impression that he was rather cold. In truth, he was not that cold. It was just that he disliked idle and meaningless things.
He was very open to some topics, but he also lacked understanding when it came to certain things.
Thinking about it, he also missed the first few days when he first arrived in this world. During those days, he still did not quite understand who he was, and was constantly thinking about his place in this new world.
However, being blurry, unclear, and ignorant was not an effective way of life.
If he took the world too seriously, this world would lose a lot of its fun and appeal.
Long Fengyun lowered his head.
He seriously thought about what Yuchi had said.
He understood parts of what the latter said, but was also confused by some things he said.
It seemed rather contradictory.
However, no matter what, being able to have a good chat with Yuchi this time was indeed a matter of great benefit to him.
After all, he did not expect that his ancestor would be defeated by this young man in front of him. Over the past three months, he had been consumed by how his ancestor had been defeated and what tricks that person had used to kill his ancestor.
In the end, everything had become clear.
The other party had not used any schemes or tricks. It was just a fair and square battle. A loss was still a loss.
The dragon race were not sore losers.
He had to admit that the young man in front of him was too powerful.
The power Yuchi’s body exuded made him feel fear. Perhaps his fighting spirit was even more terrifying. He could sense that Yuchi’s true self was different from this calm-looking youth in front of him.
A senior was still a senior.
Someone who could defeat the dragon race’s ancestor was really not an ordinary person.
He had lost.
This time, he was truly convinced of his defeat.
Yuchi then asked, “Do you know why so many powerful people died back then?”
This was a question that had been bothering him for some time.
Be it the Vast Sea Dragon King, the Dragon Palace General, or Medusa, they were all just shadows of their past selves.
Back then, when experts were as common as clouds, why did such a large number of experts fall? This was something Yuchi could not understand. He had wanted to ask Medusa about this before, but Medusa had no intention of talking about this matter.
“It’s said to be related to an ocean,” Long Fengyun replied.
“Ocean?”
Long Fengyun nodded. He tried his best to recall the memories passed down through his bloodline.
“There is an ocean in this world?”
“I don’t know where this ocean is, but it does exist.”
“After this ocean appeared, a terrifying thing was born within this ocean.”
“Because of this thing’s appearance, many experts in the world fell after a short period of a hundred years.”
“Some of our dragon race’s memory transmission inheritances have forcefully sealed the details of this information. It seems that they don’t want people to know what exactly happened back then. I’ve conducted some investigations before, but the results were fruitless.”
Yuchi became even more puzzled.
The appearance of an ocean had caused these experts to die in large numbers?
It could be described as nearly instantaneous too.
In a world where that spanned tens of millions of years, a hundred years was really just a short moment.
Once the ocean appeared, everything and everyone fell. Almost all the heroes were buried in the ocean.
But why?
Yuchi did not know.
He was not sure, but he had a clear premonition.
He felt that if he stayed around the seas for a long time, he would gradually come to understand what had happened back then.
He would probably be able to find out more after he resurrected Medusa.
“That’s enough information for now. Take care, I’m leaving,” he said as he stood up to leave.
There was no need for him to stay.
Long Fengyun then suddenly said, “Senior!”
“You are now the most powerful one in the Black Heaven sect. You are ranked first on the Heaven rankings!”
“According to the rules, you should be the sect master of Black Heaven sect!”
“I will pass you the Black Heaven sect’s token. From now on, you’re the sect master.”
Long Fengyun finished speaking.
Then, a jade token appeared in Long Fengyun’s hand. He looked at Yuchi, his eyes filled with gratitude and admiration.
