Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Golden Dragon was infuriated and loud cracking explosive sounds could be heard from his dragon claws. It seemed that Yun Qingwu’s question hit the pain spot in his heart.
However, he regained his composure after being “wild” for a short while.
His two golden eyes stared closely at Yun Qingwu and Fang Zhengzhi. “Both of you must have extraordinary skills in order to have successfully entered this place. Fine, I will answer your question. You are right, my surname was Xuanyuan a very very long time ago.
“Actually, I was also a Xuanyuan a very very long time ago…” Fang Zhengzhi said “honestly” when he heard the Golden Dragon.
“…”
“…”
The Golden Dragon and Yun Qingwu were astonished. They looked at Fang Zhengzhi’s honest expression in confusion.
“You had the surname of Xuanyuan too?” The Golden Dragon obviously did not believe Fang Zhengzhi.
“Yes, it was very long ago though. So much time had passed that I can’t remember what happened. I do see the bloody battlefield frequently in my dreams. Countless of Demon Gods fought against each other in the battlefield and blood stained the ground…”
“…” The Golden Dragon was stunned again.
Meanwhile, Yun Qingwu looked at Fang Zhengzhi as if she was looking at a strange creature. She wanted to add on, “Shameless brat, aren’t you acting… a little too ridiculously?”
The ancient battlefield of the Demon Gods…
Battles!
If Yun Qingwu had not known how shameless Fang Zhengzhi was, she would have almost believed him with the realistic comments he made.
Yun Qingwu expressed her suspicion.
However, Fang Zhengzhi ignored her suspicious look and was still immersed in his “memory”.
“And the heavenly fire that landed on the ground… the deaths and injuries of villagers at dawn… I always felt an extreme pain when I dreamt of these scenes, I would rather bury myself to relieve the pain they felt…”
“Bury myself to relieve the pain they felt?” The Golden Dragon’s expression changed from one with suspicion to one that was serious.
Fang Zhengzhi saw the look in the Golden Dragon’s eyes and turned his body around and sighed heavily.
“Sigh… I can only see that scene in my dreams now, dreams… I still remember the scene when the sky was filled with Demon Gods and that powerful force prevented the arrival of the Cosmic Disaster. Besides that, the white figure who was leading the human, monster and demon races at the front…” Fang Zhengzhi sounded somewhat sad towards the end of his sentence.
Meanwhile, the Golden Dragon seemed to be busy reminiscing about the past.
After a long while…
.The Golden Dragon’s eyes were filled with radiance. He looked at Fang Zhengzhi as if he was looking at a familiar figure in the battlefield. He actually looked as if he was lost in thoughts.
“Do you remember that I gave you your surname?” Fang Zhengzhi suddenly turned and his eyes lit up with a silvery-white radiance.
The Rebirth Ghost Dao!
Buzz! The sky and earth shook.
The entire world turned black and white suddenly. Meanwhile, the Golden Dragon’s body trembled and the white shadow attached to his body shook violently.
“Of course, I remember that, mas…” The Golden Dragon spoke instinctively but halfway through his sentence, his gaze suddenly became clear and he shook his gigantic dragon head violently. “Kiddie, you are indeed extremely shameless, I almost got tricked by you!”
“You don’t believe me?” Fang Zhengzhi was slightly surprised when he saw how the Golden Dragon figured it out suddenly. However, he still put on a calm front.
“How can I possibly believe you?” The Golden Dragon’s expression changed and struck at Fang Zhengzhi with his dragon claw.
“Didn’t you wait here for me to come?” Fang Zhengzhi took a step forward and was fearless despite the attack of the Golden Dragon.
The dragon claw of the Golden Dragon stopped.
It stopped less than two inches away from Fang Zhengzhi. Golden radiance flowed on the claw and a chilling breeze blew the hair on Fang Zhengzhi’s forehead.
“You have already waited for a thousand years. Now that the Gates of God of the Two Realms of Monsters and Demons has reopened and the powerful individuals in the galaxy had returned to the world, when are you planning to wait until?” asked Fang Zhengzhi again.
“…” The Golden Dragon fell silent and was rooted to the spot.
Meanwhile, Yun Qingwu widened her eyes and stared at Fang Zhengzhi before looking at the Golden Dragon.
Seriously?
That worked too?
Yun Qingwu was slightly taken aback.
Based on her memory, Fang Zhengzhi knew very little about what happened in the past. However, Fang Zhengzhi behaved as if he had really seen whatever he described with his own eyes.
How strange and unpredictable.
Yun Qingwu initially felt that Fang Zhengzhi was a joke but the reaction of the Golden Dragon made her feel that she was doomed.
Xuanyuan!
A dragon with Xuanyuan as his surname!
Did Fang Zhengzhi know the meaning of the word “Xuanyuan” too?
How was that possible?
The historical books rarely recorded these ancient events. Only certain extremely ancient books had these records.
“Fang Zhengzhi, you…” Yun Qingwu wanted to make some comments but she did not know how to articulate them.
“It’s alright if you don’t believe me now, but do you really want to stay here, wait here and be trapped here forever under restraint?” Fang Zhengzhi ignored Yun Qingwu and continued talking to the Golden Dragon.
Xuanyuan.
Of course he knew about Xuanyuan.
It was the surname of Emperor Huang.
He knew that something was wrong when Yun Qingwu asked the Golden Dragon if his surname was Xuanyuan. His suspicion was only gone when the Golden Dragon gave his reply.
Very long ago, his surname was indeed Xuanyuan.
This answer may be rather vague but the vague answer made Fang Zhengzhi even more certain of the Golden Dragon’s identity.
The beast owned by Emperor Huang, the first Godly beast of the ancient era, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon!
So powerful…
The Golden Dragon in front of him was the legendary dragon of ancient times. How would Fang Zhengzhi let such an amazing opportunity slip?
He had to fake it.
As the saying went, fake it till you make it.
Fang Zhengzhi definitely did not dream about the ancient battlefield. However, he had read about the incident of Emperor Huang and Emperor Yan in his past world.
Then, he made some connections with the information he obtained from the current world he was in as well as the “specific details” he read from the black stone tablet.
If he was still unable to fool the dragon…
He would not call himself Fang Zhengzhi.
“You know that I’m put under restraints?” The Golden Dragon did not believe Fang Zhengzhi but when he heard the word “restraint”, he started to question himself.
“Yes.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded. Then, he shook his hand and a huge black stone tablet with golden marks appeared.
It was the black stone tablet in the Black Stone Palace that recorded about the Cosmic Disaster.
After the stone tablet got sliced into pieces, Fang Zhengzhi carried it along with him. He took it out as evidence when he heard what the Golden Dragon said.
“Hmm?” The Golden Dragon looked at the broken stone and reached out for one piece. He examined it carefully as his expression changed.
Fang Zhengzhi kept praying as the Golden Dragon looked at the stone.
‘Prayers to heaven.’
‘Please let me succeed.’
The stone tablet had a huge diagram behind it. He could not understand what it was about but he could infer that it was useful.
He then recalled how the Golden Dragon appeared.
The ground started to glow with golden marks before the golden light congregated and the Golden Dragon appeared from the patch of golden light.
Everything proved that the Golden Dragon could survive because of other special restraints apart from his own body.
“I guessed it correctly? I must be right?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the Golden Dragon as he made his prayers and was extremely cautious in case an emergency happened.
Meanwhile, Yun Qingwu waited at the side and was surprisingly quiet. However, he looked at Fang Zhengzhi and the Golden Dragon with a strange look.
If Fang Zhengzhi could actually guess correctly…
That was too ridiculous!
As this thought struck Yun Qingwu, she saw the Golden Dragon raise his head before he kept the broken stone pieces quickly.
“Kiddie, I don’t believe you but if you can free me from the restraints put on me, I can grant you three wishes.”
“Three wishes? So he has indeed successfully gathered all the seven dragon pearls?” Fang Zhengzhi heaved a sigh of relief as he looked up slightly. “It is extremely difficult to get rid of the restraints.”
“Of course, I know that.” The Golden Dragon nodded.
“Then just give me some random hints.” Fang Zhengzhi completely did not know what restraints were put on the Golden Dragon but he had to pretend as though he knew.
Acting!
Life was like a drama, it required acting skills.
He knew this very well.
“Are you sure you can understand the words on the stone tablet?” The Golden Dragon asked to confirm.
“The issue is in the wood.” Fang Zhengzhi felt happy. So was the freeing of restraints really related to the diagrams on the stone tablet?
If that was so, he had really struck the lottery.
“Alright, I shall give you a hint then.” The Golden Dragon nodded again as his eyes lit up with golden light. The two beams of golden light shot straight towards Fang Zhengzhi and Yun Qingwu.
“There’s a trick?!” Fang Zhengzhi was shocked. Without any hesitation, he pulled Yun Qingwu and rolled towards the side with her.
Meanwhile, two beams of golden light shot past the position where Fang Zhengzhi and Yun Qingwu were standing earlier on. It struck the wordless stone tablet at a terrifying speed like the meteor.
Instantly, the wordless stone tablet shone with radiance.
The spots of golden light shone continuously on the wordless stone tablet. They eventually gathered as symbols and cramped together like tadpoles.
Yun Qingwu’s body was forcefully pressed down by Fang Zhengzhi. Her face turned red and she had difficulties breathing but she did not look at Fang Zhengzhi.
She did not even intend to blame Fang Zhengzhi for that.
That was because she was attracted by the golden symbols that appeared on the wordless stone tablet. The symbols were almost identical to that of the black stone tablet which was outside.
“Don’t tell me the shameless brat is about to succeed?!” Yun Qingwu was speechless.
If Fang Zhengzhi manages to succeed so simply, it would have been incredible and too coincidental.
However, as the saying went, ‘Without coincidences, there are no stories.’
She was speechless but also felt slightly helpless.
That was because she did not recognize all of the symbols. She could only make a rough guess of their meaning from her understanding of other ancient books.
However…
She knew that Fang Zhengzhi could genuinely understand those words.
Although she never understood why Fang Zhengzhi could recognize those words, it was an undeniable fact.
“What a coincidence, I recognize all of these too, sigh… I really have Xuanyuan as my surname a long time ago, now do you believe me?” Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up when he saw the golden symbols in the wordless stone tablet. He patted the dirt off his body and stood up.
“Shameless!” Yun Qingwu scolded Fang Zhengzhi as she could no longer hold it in.
Meanwhile, the Golden Dragon turned his head to the side. He definitely would not believe what Fang Zhengzhi said. However, if Fang Zhengzhi really could recognize all the symbols on the stone tablet…
Did that mean…
The Golden Dragon stopped his train of thought as he felt that it was impossible
After all, Fang Zhengzhi’s personality was different from the person he knew.
How could the two of them be the same person?
Who would believe that?
Not the Golden Dragon.
In fact, even Fang Zhengzhi did not believe that. Claiming that he was the resurrection of Emperor Huang Xuanyuan? He really did not have any special Gifted Bloodline on him and was genuinely an ordinary person.
However, no matter whether he believed it or not, he would never stop acting.
“A dragon with Xuanyuan as his surname… so the grave in front of me must be the grave of the legendary Emperor!” Fang Zhengzhi was 90 percent confident.
However, there was something he still could not understand.
Based on the records in the current world, Emperor Huang Xuanyuan was not trapped in the galaxy. He survived with Emperor Yan and created the world of humankind.
Then, why would the grave fall from the galaxy?
Fang Zhengzhi still did not understand why that happened but he made a guess that the answer was recorded on the wordless stone tablet.
Without hesitation, Fang Zhengzhi walked up to the wordless stone tablet and began to read the symbols on it.
“So your full name is ‘Xuanyuan Five’. It is such a simple name but is rather compatible with your status as the Five-clawed Golden Dragon!” said Fang Zhengzhi after reading a few lines.
“You… kiddie, you really can understand the symbols on that?!” The Golden Dragon’s body shook again when he heard Fang Zhengzhi. Even the golden mist shrouding his body started to become unstable.
Evidently, the Golden Dragon was slightly agitated.
After so many years…
Nobody knew his real name.
Xuanyuan Five!
Xuanyuan Five…
It had been long, too long.
The number one Godly beast who had been at the peak, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five!
