People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 227 Awakening of Dragon Power
".I must admit that what you did was beyond my expectations."

".Perhaps not all gods are despicable."

After the treatment is completed,

Apep, who appeared in a miniature body in the oasis, rarely spoke to express his gratitude.

Out of pride for its own race, it still looks like a snake or a dragon.

But Lin Feng could still sense from this projection that it was no longer as hostile to all gods and humans as it was at the beginning.

After a brief pause,
Apep turned his attention away from the plant in front of him that had waited for a thousand years before finally sprouting again.
He looked at the gods in front of him who might be somewhat special.

"You have fulfilled the terms of the contract in a perfect way that I had never imagined. I have no fault to offer."

"——As an ancient dragon, I will not look for loopholes in the contract like humans would. This is the dragon power that you want that is as close to the origin as possible. Take it."

As soon as the words fell, a ray of green light that seemed to have life separated from Apep's projection.

This elemental force that contains the most complete aura of ancient dragon authority may have some unique characteristics.
In Lin Feng's eyes, it was like an emerald green light snake, floating in the air nimbly, swaying and moving with vitality.

"."

"Thank you."

In the beginning there were no words,
Until Lin Feng, with mixed feelings, stretched out his hand to intercept this hard-won emerald green origin under the gaze of everyone,
He then looked at Apep in front of him and thanked him for this high-quality elemental breath.

——Perhaps because of the perfect healing effect before, the ancient dragon power given by Apep even contained fragments of the other party's authority,

Using this as a carrier, it perfectly records another part of the elemental laws possessed by the ancient dragon, which are more primitive, older, and different from those of today's gods.

Even if this original force is encapsulated individually in some suitable containers, it can bring effects to the surrounding life, including but not limited to extending lifespan, strengthening physical fitness, and eliminating diseases.

"."

It was like finally reaching the last step of a quest and finding a magical weapon in the dungeon that was powerful enough to slay a dragon.

Lin Feng, who is ready to face the final boss,
Because this was the first time he had come into contact with the power of an ancient dragon, he actually felt a bit nervous as if he was entering a boss room.
Apep, who had already fulfilled the contract, looked at Lin Feng in front of him.
After hesitating for a while, he spoke hesitantly:
"...Knowledge itself is valuable, so you don't have to answer me."

"But if this is information that can be shared, I still wish to know why you are gathering the power of Amon and me."

"The value of something like this to anyone other than the holder should be very limited, and it's not worth the hassle."

I have never heard of such a level of cooperation between gods.
Apep felt from the beginning that something was wrong with the alliance of gods in front of him.
——With such unprecedented unity, there must be some key point that can unite them as the core, otherwise there would not be such motivation.

The most likely possibility is the two requirements in the contract that seem to be somewhat meaningless to it:
——The legacy of the Red King and the aura of the ancient dragon’s laws.

"There is nothing that cannot be said.

After all, the next process will be completed in this oasis, so I can’t hide it from you.”

Lin Feng had gained all the rewards from this trip to the desert, and as he was about to take the final step, he had no intention of hiding anything.

Not to mention that this process has to take place inside Apep's body. If the Power of Grass really reappears in the world, it will be able to sense it even on the other side of the world.

".You should know that I am not from this world. The whole story is too complicated, so I won't go into details."

Lin Feng raised his head and looked at Apep in front of him.

"If we only talk about the purpose of my trip and what I'm going to do next, it's not difficult to understand."

After a slight pause, he continued:
"To put it simply, I will try to combine the power of God and the power of Dragon, so that the complete grass element, which was originally impossible to appear in the current Teyvat, can reappear in the world."

"."

???

As Lin Feng finished speaking,

Apep in the projection state seemed to have received excessive information in a short period of time. He stopped moving immediately and fell into a rigid state like a computer crash.

Obviously, every word the other party said was not difficult to understand, and there were no metaphors or code words.

But after combining them together, it began to doubt whether it had heard it wrong.

——Even though it had been very puzzled from the beginning about how this outsider in front of it had obtained the authority beyond his share, and had made many speculations about it.

But no matter what, it never expected that the other party asked for its power in order to do such a thing.

——It is already very surprising that an outsider can possess multiple powers equivalent to those of gods.
But compared to the fantastic idea of ​​restoring the power of the dragon with a non-dragon body, Apep felt that this was not a challenge of the same difficulty level at all.

"."

". Although I have no intention of discouraging your idea, I must make it clear that this is impossible."

"——Even though it was once taken away, the complete elemental power belongs only to the original inhabitants and masters of this world.
Even if it is a so-called demon god created by the laws of nature, it is impossible for him to take on one seventh of the world."

"If it weren't for the fact that a non-dragon body would not be recognized by the elemental power, and the complete power would be quickly reborn as a dragon king.

Do you think that the one in heaven would be so kind as to give us the remaining members a chance to survive?"

As the oldest elemental dragon,
If there is anyone in the entire Teyvat who most desires to gather the complete power of the ancient dragons, it must be the grass dragon in front of Lin Feng and others.

Apep, who once had power but lost it,

For thousands of years, they have never given up the desire to regain power and restore the majesty of the ancient dragons.

Thinking back to the biggest obstacle I have ever faced,
It looked at Lin Feng, who was treating it, with a sincere attitude it had never seen before, and said:
".I admit that you are a special person who is above the rules and fate. Perhaps there is really a tiny chance of success."

"But once the Ancient Dragon Power appears, it will inevitably be discovered by the supervisors in the sky. This is the most rebellious behavior. Are you really ready to become its enemy?"

——Kill the devil, smash the throne, and reclaim authority.

This idea was no secret among the ancient dragons.

But many thousands of years have passed,
The reason why those dragon kings who were originally capable of killing gods and even destroying the throne of gods after joining forces all disappeared and did not succeed even once was that the biggest obstacle was the "Heavenly Law" sitting on the throne.

Those of our people who dared to make radical attempts have now been completely buried in the dust of time.
Only the most cautious one has managed to survive until today, thousands of years later.

"."

"To be honest, based on what I have done along the way,

I think if justice wanted to take action, it would have eliminated threats like me long ago."

"But in fact, I have never even seen the so-called agent."

"——Besides, what if we really want to become his enemy?"

"If you don't want to sit back and wait for death, or hand over the right of choice to others, then this step is the key point in the plan and you have to do it."

Apep, who had followed the Dragon King and fought against the Tenri twice and survived, was naturally hostile to the one on the throne.

Although he had the actions of Fucaros in the plot as a reference, Lin Feng thought it was unlikely that such a process would attract the intervention of beings like the Four Shadows.

But if something really happened, then apart from Xiaobai who was playing outside and had not been used before,
It wouldn't hurt to share the information ahead of time so Apep can prepare in advance.

After all, if one really wants to have the ability to influence the situation on a "world" level, elemental power is the most basic entry ticket.

The authority of ordinary gods, from the plot, is not enough to fight against the law of nature and the real abyss.
Even the four shadows differentiated from the principles of heaven are mostly difficult to contend with.

If you don't want to just enjoy the sense of superiority brought by power in front of mortals, and end up watching the end as an insignificant pawn,
Only by obtaining the power of the ancient dragon that took Tianli forty years to deal with, and even the power of the Dragon King that almost destroyed the entire world, can one truly stand on the opposite side of the chessboard of Teyvat.

"."

".No matter where your confidence comes from, I do feel your determination."

After getting Lin Feng's answer, Apep was silent for a moment.
After seeing that the other three gods did not show any surprise, he finally understood what kind of possibility made them choose to unite.

Even though I still don't think the outsider in front of me can succeed,
But after realizing that this group of gods seemed to be rebellious against the laws of nature and were not completely against them,
It temporarily recognized the current alliance and said:
"——No matter what, we dragons are not ungrateful people.

As a reward for the previous treatment, I will fully cooperate with you in the attempt beyond the scope of the contract."

"——Appearance is not important to us dragons. Authority is the only symbol of identity.

If you can truly regain your former power, perhaps in the future, you can also go to meet the returning Dragon King as one of our people."

"Thank you. That's great."

After revealing his position, he noticed that Apep's attitude towards him had obviously improved.

Lin Feng also lamented at the first moment that there seemed to be few people in Teyvat who were loyal to the principles of heaven.

Now that we have already taken precautions against unexpected situations,

No more wasting time,

He walked towards the slowly beating heart of the oasis in front of him,

Along with the ancient dragon essence that was wrapped around his body like a spirit snake after being released,
Under the protection of four god-level fighters, this significant awakening began.

In contrast to the lush green oasis, the outside world is covered with yellow sand.

Because we agreed to fully cooperate with Lin Feng's awakening,
The Oasis Heart running at full capacity in his body caused elemental ripples like tides to appear around Apep's sinuous snake-like body.

This extremely rich aura of grass element gathered and dispersed regularly, just enough to replenish the consumption while also showing the powerful control ability of the owner of the power.

——But soon, this situation that seemed to be at ease turned into a situation of intense confusion.

After Lin Feng closed his eyes and put all his mental energy into analyzing and combining the power of the ancient dragon,

Without warning,
It was as if the world itself and the elemental forces suddenly had a will.
The previous stable state of element fluctuations disappeared in an instant.
The grass green elements that are touched and enlivened by the circular ripples,
It even gives people a feeling of excitement like reuniting with old friends after a long separation.

!!!

Apep, who had been somewhat nonchalant at first, suddenly straightened up.
After realizing that the situation was developing in a direction that he had never imagined,

This oldest elemental dragon did not have time to express his surprise.

Having witnessed the birth of many offspring, it quickly understood what this sign meant.
In order not to delay the awakening of the "same race" in my body,

The huge grass dragon swept away the yellow sand and drilled into the ground at the fastest speed.
Ignoring the tsunami-like sand tide caused by the excessive movement,

It returned to the darkness again,

Just like the action that had been repeated countless times over the past thousands of years,
It extended its countless root-like sharp corners and penetrated deeply into the earth veins for obtaining "nutrients".

Different from the previous awakenings of authority,

Just like the grass element itself symbolizes life and nature,
Not only did the gathering sea of ​​elements not appear in the sky outside,
The green ripples that spread out from under the yellow sand had an increasingly large impact range.

——It’s not about asking, but about giving.

Invisible waves continued to spread from the desert of Xumi to the outside world, and wherever they passed, life gradually sprouted even under the yellow sand.

Once, twice, three times.
Revive, sprout, grow, bloom.
In the rhythm of the world's heart, the environment where Apep lurks is changing rapidly and thoroughly, as if time has flown back thousands of years.

Even in the darkness underground, many flowers and mosses with unique postures and emitting a faint glow gradually grew.

As the awakening process progresses, countless fluctuations invisible to ordinary people gradually overlap.
Like a newborn baby who has finally gathered enough strength to cry,

Finally, a emerald green wave bloomed, announcing its presence to the world.

This wave swept through the dead desert, through the withered flower forest, through the mountains, ravines, and oceans.

On this long journey that ordinary people are not qualified to perceive,
I came to another land by chance.
In front of a silver-haired young man who was originally concentrating on his work but suddenly stopped writing, leaving a drop of azure ink on the paper.
