Volume 2 + Chapter 139: The Mythical Era
It was a lifelike sculpture, a silver dragon that seemed to have life, lofty and inviolable in its dignity.
When Xia Yi came to her senses, she found herself performing the royal etiquette towards the statue of the Dragon King… As a descendant expressing awe and reverence to an ancestor.
“Ah…”
Xia Yi retreated several steps and hid behind a pillar, first poking out her ahoge, then slowly sticking out her head.
The silver dragon loli was secretly observing.
“Um, what am I doing? Don’t be afraid. It’s a statue.”
Although she said that, Xia Yi still hid behind the pillar. She discovered that this Dragon King statue seemed to have magic cast on it, making it spotless and quite new, without the slightest damage.
Not only the statue but the entire interior of the temple seemed to be more or less the same, as if it had just been built.
It must be magic.
“How amazing!!” Xia Yi couldn’t help but exclaim.
Because from the outside, this temple had been through who knows how many years, probably more than ten thousand years…
But after such a long time, without any maintenance, the interior of the temple actually had magic maintaining stable operation.
If the Magic Master Gran saw this scene, he would be surprised and jump up, then lie on the ground and start studying this unbelievable magic.
Xia Yi felt that the temple was even more extraordinary.
“The Dragon King of the Royal Silver Dragon Family…”
The bloodline of the Royal Silver Dragon Family was quite rare among the dragons… Therefore, among the generations of Dragon Kings, the number of silver dragons serving as Dragon King could be counted on one hand. and Xia Yi had a general understanding of who they were.
“After all, I’m a silver dragon myself—”
The Holy Sword flashed.
Xia Yi quickly corrected herself, “Ah no, no, I’m only temporarily a dragon. I’ll turn back into a human in the future!”
In any case, Xia Yi knew about the silver dragons who had become Dragon Kings in history.
But the statue in front of her didn’t belong to any of them.
Just now, under the effect of the bloodline resonance, she addressed the other party as an ancestor. There could only be one possibility then…
It was the Dragon King from the Mythical Era.
On this land, the era that began after the birth of the New World was called the Mythical Era. The Mythical Era was an extremely distant past, even more ancient than the Ancient Era. Only fragmented documents briefly recorded what a magnificent world it was.
In the Mythical Era, there were even living deities.
As for how the Mythical Era ended, there was no definite explanation… But one thing was certain: it was closely related to the disappearance of the deities from the land.
The end of the Mythical Era and the turning point that marked it was the Dragon War.
It was the first war without the participation of deities, opening the prelude to the Ancient Era.
In the palace library, the biographies of the Dragon Kings were preserved starting from the Ancient Era.
“This should be the Dragon King of the Mythical Era, which is why I subconsciously called him ‘Ancestor’.” Xia Yi had a general idea in her heart.
In that case, the Great Sea of Trees was indeed quite incredible, actually possessing a legacy from the Mythical Era.
Since she had come this far, she should still properly greet her predecessor.
This was a valuable experience Xia Yi gained during her time as the Human Sword Saint.
For example, when exploring some ruins, if one was disrespectful to the former owner of the ruins, there would definitely be dangerous traps waiting for oneself.
Respect was definitely necessary.
This didn’t mean she had already accepted her identity as a dragon. It was just for the sake of safety!
The little princess walked out from behind the pillar and put the Holy Sword aside first.
“Greetings, Ancestor. I am Xia Yi · Christie, the daughter of the current ruler of the dragons—Xia Lulu · Christie, the Silver Dragon Princess.”
Xia Yi bowed to the ancestral Dragon King.
She nervously looked at the statue, concentrating her attention, afraid that this statue would come to life…
But fortunately, the statue didn’t change at all.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
At this moment, the Holy Sword vibrated.
Xia Yi felt that something was off. When she turned her head to look, her ahoge stood up in fright.
The Holy Sword actually floated up, and its tip was aimed at the statue of the ancestor, looking as if it was ready to pierce through the statue.
“No!! Holy Sword, stop!!”
Xia Yi pounced over and pressed it down under her body.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The Holy Sword was still moving about, seemingly determined to cut the statue of Xia Yi’s ancestor in half, as if it had seen a mortal enemy.
“Calm down, Holy Sword. This is just a statue, not the real thing!!”
Xia Yi desperately tried to persuade it while using the Holy Sword Mark, attempting to make the Holy Sword behave.
“Don’t make a fuss!! This isn’t the real Dragon King. Cutting it has no meaning!!”
After a while, the Holy Sword finally calmed down.
Only then did Xia Yi feel relieved.
If she had let the Holy Sword cut the statue in half, and if there was some magic trap set inside, with the level of magic inside the temple, Xia Yi would have been done for.
However, there was still one thing she didn’t quite understand.
Everything here was closely related to the dragons. Why did her Holy Sword react when it was outside the Great Sea of Trees?
The Holy Sword had always acknowledged the souls of humans and would only choose humans as the Sword Bearer. Other races simply couldn’t use the power of the Holy Sword.
This point was indisputable.
Therefore, it was very strange for the Holy Sword to have an intense reaction to a temple related to the dragons.
Theoretically, the Holy Sword should not have any connection with dragons.
“Old friend, why did you bring me here?” Xia Yi asked the Holy Sword.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The Holy Sword flashed twice, pointing in another direction.
Xia Yi looked over and saw a huge stone tablet with a lot of content recorded on it, all in an obscure Ancient Dragon Language that ordinary dragons couldn’t read.
“But it’s not a problem. I can read it!” Xia Yi was very proud.
The education she received wasn’t an ordinary one. Naturally, it included Ancient Dragon Language courses. Deciphering the content on the stone tablet wasn’t difficult for her.
Xia Yi started to decipher it.
It roughly described some glorious past events of this ancestral Dragon King.
How powerful this Dragon King was, fighting against the kings of various Superior Races, such as the elves, vampires, giants…
“Wait, what is this?!”
Xia Yi saw a line of content and froze on the spot after understanding its meaning.
Because the content recorded on it was a shocking fact, violating the common sense of the world and overturning her long-held perception.
“The Fifth Superior Race King, the Human King, wielding the Holy Sword and bearing the Holy Spear, engaged in a bloody battle with the Dragon King.”
That line of ancient dragon text lit up, and its frequency was exactly the same as the current glow of the Holy Sword. This was what the Holy Sword wanted to guide Xia Yi to see.
In the Mythical Era, the human race was actually a Superior Race.
