The Demon King is unfathomable

Chapter 287 As expected of the Demon King, this is too much nonsense!
Got an egg left in the fridge?

Hearing Youyou's call, Luo Yan was surprised and quickly walked into the next room.

When he walked through the open cabin door, he saw a round body reflected in the smooth glass mirror.

At this moment, the guy was like a happy jellyfish, floating back and forth around a streamlined metal box.

There was a light layer of frost on the transparent glass cabin cover. Judging from the appearance alone, this thing was somewhat similar to the life support cabin in the next room.

However, what lay inside was not a living thing, but an egg as big as a washbasin!
Luo Yan looked closer and saw that the light gray eggshell was covered with fine scales.

His face changed slightly.

There is no mistake——

This is a dragon egg!
Or in Zeta Empire academic terms, this is "D-7447 meat lizard egg".

"Incredible... this egg seems to be still alive!" Youyou walked around the hibernation capsule, his voice full of excitement.

"Indeed... This dormant device has been working for 1000 years without losing power. It seems that the Zeta Empire's technological capabilities are far beyond our imagination."

Luo Yan nodded slightly, amazed in his heart.

Just as he stretched out his hand towards the interface that looked like a touch screen, intending to wake up the system from hibernation and recover this rare magic material, Youyou next to him suddenly screamed in surprise again.

"Wait a moment!"

"What's wrong?" Luo Yan subconsciously withdrew his hand and cast a puzzled look at Youyou.

It floated closer to the dragon egg and flew around it twice, as if to get a closer look.

After a while, it returned to Luo Yan's side, with a hint of disbelief and surprise in its voice.

"Master Demon...it seems like there's a soul attached to this egg!"

Attached soul?

On this egg?
The surprise in Luo Yan's eyes was even more obvious.

"you sure?"

"Yeah! There's no doubt about it!" Youyou excitedly nodded his abstract head and chirped, "It was curled up in the yolk, I almost didn't notice it!"

Luo Yan frowned slightly, a cautious look appeared in his eyes, and he stared at the light gray egg in thought.

This is indeed a bit strange.

According to the theory he learned in the Demon King Academy, the "newborn soul" is often gradually formed during the growth process after birth, and it is not present at birth.

The specific time point is usually after learning to speak, and in very rare cases it is before that.

After this point in time, people's memories will tend to be continuous, just like the code written in the brain has been activated. Humanity begins to surpass animality, and the soul and body are completely grown together. Only death can separate them.

This is the so-called first reincarnation, or the first time as a human being.

This type of people often have stronger "NPC attributes". The advantage is that they have no enemies or creditors from previous lives, and will not be entangled by the cause and effect of reincarnation. But the disadvantages are also obvious. For example, they are not familiar with being a human for the first time, and they have a weak sense of existence because they have just established cause and effect with the world. Even if they try their best, they can only make up a decimal point in the crowd.

Whether in the Empire or Hell, the vast majority of humans and goblins are actually reincarnated for the first time, and they only have this one chance to be reincarnated. Only some souls favored by the devil, saint Sith or other gods can be reincarnated again.

This brings us to the second situation -

That is reincarnation.

Compared to the first-born soul, the reincarnation situation is more diverse. Some souls grow together with the fetus when they are still in the mother's womb, and some souls grow together with the second-born soul after they are born before they mature.

Luo Yan himself belongs to the latter.

And perhaps because of the smuggling through the subspace, he neither drank the "Meng Po Soup" on Earth, nor washed away his memories in the reincarnation pool in this world. Instead, he directly integrated into his new body with the memories of his previous life.

I suppose the same is true for Lint Isaac.

The soul in the dragon egg in front of him obviously belonged to the former - a reincarnated soul that grew together with the fertilized egg that had not yet conceived a soul.

This isn't the first time this guy has been a dragon!
But it’s reincarnation!

"But are there giant dragons on the Janna continent?" Luo Yan pondered, looking at Youyou and asked, "Or... are they monsters? Gutaf's diary seems to have mentioned that dragons and monsters share the same soul reincarnation pool."

Youyou, who was floating in the air, hesitated for a moment and said.

"That being said, the monsters on the Janna continent are also very weak, right? If they are low-level creatures, they probably can't be reincarnated into fantasy species like giant dragons."

At this point, Youyou also felt strange.

From this perspective, it is absolutely impossible for the dragon eggs on the continent of Janna to contain souls.

Under normal circumstances, only after the dragon egg is hatched, it will be possible to rely on the faith of the Ankylosaurs on the Janna Continent in the Dragon God, slowly accumulate the power of faith to complete the upgrade of the soul level, and finally become a mythical dragon...

And considering the rare supernatural powers on the Janna continent, it is possible that its soul will never grow to a level that matches its body, and it will eventually become a meat lizard with the title of dragon.

Luo Yan frowned slightly and carefully observed the dragon egg that seemed to be nurturing a soul.

Just at this moment, an incredible possibility suddenly flashed through his mind -

"It's not impossible."

Youyou looked at him quickly.

Luo Yan paused and continued.

"If the soul attached to this dragon egg is Gutaf himself, then everything makes sense."

"Ah?!" Youyou widened his eyes, "Is...is this possible?!"

The Dragon God was reincarnated into a dragon.

wrong--

Youyou suddenly stopped.

Just as the Demon King said, it is possible. Personality and Godhead are never unified, but can be separated... I think the same is true for the Dragon God.

The one who became a god was the Dragon God.

It was Gutaf who died.

All believers of the Dragon God believe that the Dragon God is the father of all dragons, and even the Dragon God himself regards himself as such.

When his divinity ascended to the sky, the remaining humanity naturally returned to the reincarnation pond he created. He couldn't become a lizard man, so the only place he could go seemed to be this one!

Luo Yan couldn't help but raise a strange smile at the corner of his mouth.

From Gutaf's diary, he could clearly feel the guy's disdain for "meat lizards" between the lines, and now this guy has been reincarnated as the thing he hated the most, and has to replay the game he had played out in his previous life as a pawn in the game.

What an irony.

Luo Yan had no intention of mocking a guy he had never met before. He just thought the matter was extremely funny. Its dramatic nature was like a person who had eaten pork all his life turning into a pig.

I don’t know if this guy has memories from his previous life like me.

It was obvious that he had the same idea as Luo Yan. Youyou, who was eager to watch the fun, encouraged him excitedly.

"Master Demon! Let's hatch it out! Hatch the Dragon God out. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"You don't have to tell me that," Luo Yan said with a sinister smile, "I just happen to be in need of a flying mount."

The captain of a scientific research vessel from the Zeta Empire... There is probably no cooler mount on this planet.

He swore.

He definitely didn't plan to hatch the dragon egg just because he was curious about the expression on Gutaf's face after he saw his new body.

The only problem at the moment was that he had never hatched eggs before and didn't know how to hatch them.

But I think this shouldn't be a difficult task.

There is enough knowledge in the Padrich family library for him to borrow, and if all else fails he can ask Professor Lilith or Madam Edoniya for help.

"This archaeological excavation is really a big win... But I don't know how to hatch this thing. Let's take it back first, and then ask someone about it when we get back to Hell."

"Uh-huh!"

Youyou happily circled the dragon egg several times, as if she couldn't wait to see the little dragon break out of the shell.

Luo Yan smiled and shook his head, fumbled around the hibernation capsule for a while, and finally started the thawing program through "dragon language" and took out the dragon egg that had been frozen for a thousand years from the hibernation capsule.

The belief in the Dragon God endowed the egg with vitality far beyond that of ordinary carbon-based creatures, and it has not diminished in the slightest even after thousands of years.

Luo Yan could feel the surging life force beneath the eggshell, ready to move.

Holding the dragon egg in his arms, he looked up and looked around to make sure that nothing was missing. Finally, he turned around and left this room full of mysteries and walked out of the landing capsule.

At the same time, outside the hatch of the landing module.

Arakdo was pacing back and forth impatiently, his six eyes looking into the door from time to time, but he didn't dare to get too close, so he could only mutter to himself.

"What on earth is the Demon King doing... Why hasn't he come out yet?"

Looking at the pitch-black cabin door, he always had a bad feeling, but he couldn't tell why and could only worry about it.

As a spider, his sixth sense has always been very accurate, far beyond his IQ.

Glancing at Sarah who was standing at the door, Arakdo tried to encourage her with his eyes to go in and take a look.

However, he obviously overestimated the cross-species understanding between spiders and cats, and underestimated Lady Sarah's loyalty to His Majesty the Demon King.

Since the devil said that no one was allowed to enter, she would definitely not take a step towards the door.

Ignoring Arakdo's winks, Sarah stood at the door with an unmoved look, her eyes slightly closed, and she stood quietly with her arms folded.

Of course she wasn't asleep.

It's just that her ears are much more sensitive than her eyes, and closing her eyes makes it easier for her to immerse her five senses in her surroundings and pay attention to the movements behind the door.

This is definitely not out of curiosity.

It's purely for the safety of the Demon King. After all, no one can guarantee that there are no strange things enshrined in this silver "shrine".

At this moment, a rotten breeze blew across the pile of rocks outside the silver landing module.

Along with the rustling sound of growing thorns, a series of light footsteps approached from not far away, stepping over the crushed sand.

The visitor was none other than Blancia, the lord of the Great Cemetery City of Despair and one of the four demon generals under the Demon King.

Looking at the silver "shrine" standing among the rocks, a hint of obvious surprise appeared on her pale face, and then her eyes fell on Sarah who was standing at the door.

"Where has the Demon King gone?" Blancia raised her chin slightly, with a hint of command in her voice.

Sarah opened her eyes, looked at her calmly, and answered briefly.

"Right inside."

Blancia raised her eyebrows and took a step straight toward the door.

The next second, a sharp dagger was pointed in front of her, blocking her way.

"The Demon King said that no one is allowed to enter." Sarah's voice was calm and cold, without any intention of retreating.

Blancia narrowed her eyes, looking at the "toothpick" across her chest, with a mocking and cruel arc at the corner of her mouth.

"A mere wild cat dares to block my way?"

Having said that, she still stopped.

After all, beating a dog also depends on its owner.

The same goes for hitting a cat.

At the same time she stopped, a voice with obvious mockery floated from not far away, and Thanos, who was leaning against a huge rock with his arms folded, appeared at some point.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Even a little girl of the adamantium level can bare her teeth at you. Someone is really going backwards as he gets older."

Anger rose to her brows, and Blancia quickly turned her head and glared at Thanos fiercely.

"If you don't want this mouth, I can sew it up for you."

The thorns twisted on her body were like a python spitting out its tongue, approaching Thanos. Looking at the irritated Blancia, Thanos just smiled lightly, and the shadow under him twisted like a centipede, wrestling with the twisting thorns invisibly.

The auras of the two people collided violently in the air, forming an invisible sense of oppression, so that the surrounding flames were weakened a little.

Arakdo, who was standing nearby, trembled with fear and took a few steps back. The high priest Zel, who was waiting nearby, held his breath in fear until he was almost suffocated and then he took a few deep breaths.

His integrity and dignity were shattered the moment he presented the scepter to the devil...The one standing here now is just an ordinary old lizardman.

Are the Demon King's subordinates usually like this?

In addition to fear, a hint of fanaticism appeared in Zel's eyes.

No wonder they are so strong!

It turns out they fight each other every day!
At this moment, he had forgotten how he once used the same reasons to look down on the humans on the ancient continent.

He was the only one who spoke both the true and false words.

"…This is the order of the Demon Lord. I am just following it." Sarah responded fearlessly, without retreating the blade in her hand at all.

"Shut up! I know it's the Demon Lord's order, but it's not your turn to order me!"

Blancia was so angry that she couldn't believe that this stinky cat was not afraid of her at all.

Thanos on the side crossed his arms, adding fuel to the fire with a teasing look, looking like he was enjoying the fun.

However, suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly restrained his playful expression, and the distorted shadow returned to normal.

Before Blancia could react, a majestic voice came from the silver-white "shrine".

"What are you doing?"

Everyone turned around quickly and saw Luo Yan slowly stepping out of the cabin with sharp and calm eyes.

"My Lord Demon King..." Looking at Luo Yan coming out of the door, Sarah's expression softened immediately like the thawing lake water.

Blancia's expression changed slightly, and she quickly put away her hostility, bowed her head, and said softly: "Master Demon King, I, I am just worried about your safety, so I want to go in and take a look..."

Luo Yan looked at Sarah.

The latter nodded slightly without adding any exaggeration.

"Is such that."

With a hint of approval in his eyes, Luo Yan nodded and said.

"You did very well."

Sarah showed a shy and gentle smile on her face, her boots tapping the ground lightly. She was very excited but was too embarrassed to show it too obviously.

Luo Yan then turned his gaze to Blancia, his eyes becoming sharp.

"If there is a next time, I won't remind you like I am now."

Hearing that stern voice, Blancia's shoulders trembled slightly. She felt both fear and grievance in her heart, but she dared not say another word.

Thanos didn't dare to say a word, fearing that the devil would target him.

But at this moment, his eyes suddenly fell on Luo Yan's arms, and he saw the light gray, scaly-covered giant egg.

In an instant, his expression changed slightly and he spoke in a surprised voice.

"Master Demon, what you are holding is..."

Following Thanos's gaze, everyone's eyes fell on the giant egg in Luo Yan's arms.

In fact, he didn't need to remind me.

Including Arakdo... everyone standing outside the landing capsule had already noticed that the pressure comparable to that of a dragon was emanating from Luo Yan's arms.

no doubt--

That is the breath of a dragon!
Looking at the people with stunned looks, Luo Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

He knew what his men were thinking.

But they still underestimated themselves.

After a pause, he uttered those powerful words in a calm tone.

"This is the Dragon God."

There was silence.

Even the slowly burning flames stretched out their crackling sounds in the silence.

Sarah was the calmest person, but there was still a look of surprise on her face. Her big mouth became completely O-shaped, as if a mineral water bottle could be stuffed in it.

Not to mention Blancia and Thanos, both of them had their pupils contracted and could not hide the surprise on their faces.

As for Arakdo, since he was a spider, there was no human expression on his face, but his trembling spider legs revealed the awe and fear in his heart.

I see--

No wonder he had been feeling uneasy since just now!

However, the shock in the hearts of the employees of the cemetery was much less than that of the only lizardman present.

Zell, the high priest of the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom, was originally just standing by respectfully.

When he heard what Luo Yan said, he felt like he was struck by lightning, his eyes full of astonishment and disbelief!
"Dragon, Dragon God?!"

A complex expression was squeezed into his face. He finally raised his head and looked at Luo Yan with eyes full of anxiety and shock.

"How can this be?"

The Dragon God is the supreme deity that they have worshipped for generations. How could he appear in such a... such a weak posture?
and--

It is clearly mentioned in the secret ancient books of the Holy Ankylosaur Kingdom that although the Dragon God Gutaf is considered to be a dragon, he is not a giant dragon, but a lizard man similar to the Ankylosaur clan!
Thinking of this, Zel became extremely angry.

These damn humans!
It would be bad enough to conquer their bodies, but they also have to distort their history... This is such a shame and humiliation, how can we tolerate this!
However, when Zel met Luo Yan's determined and playful eyes, he felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart, and his originally firm belief began to waver unconsciously.

like……

It's not that impossible.

It was not out of fear of the conqueror, but he had thought about it seriously. If this was the explanation, many contradictions in the secret ancient books of the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom could be explained.

Luo Yan admired the struggle on Zel's face with interest.

To be honest, he didn't really care whether the reptile could figure it out or not. After all, with the lizardmen's ability to justify themselves, even if he said he was the reincarnation of the Dragon God, they would eventually believe it.

However, thinking of the fate of the Dragon God, he pondered for a while and finally decided to maintain his own persona and told half the truth and half the lies.

"I took a look around the Dragon God's tomb and found some interesting things."

Zell swallowed.

"What did you...find?"

Luo Yan's eyes swept across Zel's face lightly, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "Mr. Gutaf died a thousand years ago - died at the hands of the first king of your Saint Armor Dragon Kingdom."

Gutaf...

Dragon God? !
Killed by the first king of the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom? !

This sentence was like a thunder, exploding in Zel's heart. His face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes even became empty for a moment.

"No, this is impossible! The Dragon God is the god who gave us life and the Holy Land... There is no reason for us to do this!"

it is as expected!
Ever since he saw the Dragon Temple flying into the sky, he had been doubting this possibility!

"Don't get excited. It was Gutaf who died, not the Dragon God. Rather than saying that you killed the Dragon God, it would be better to say that you liberated his soul, allowing him to truly transform from a weak mortal into an omnipotent god, and gain true eternity."

Luo Yan paused for a moment and shrugged slightly.

"I know that what I said cannot alleviate your guilt, but I still hope that you can look at what happened a thousand years ago objectively... Even if you owe him something, the blood sacrifices you made over the past thousand years are enough to pay off your debt, right?"

Zel's whole body was shocked and he almost fell to his knees.

"how so……"

Seeing Zel on the verge of collapse, Luo Yan did not continue to bully him. He just coughed lightly and changed his tone to a serious one.

He always speaks serious words in a joking tone. Smart people will understand, but stupid people don't need to understand.

And when he wants to say something seriously, it's all serious nonsense.

"I told you, there's no need to be so sad. Gutaf is very pleased with your choice. He said in his last words... He succeeded."

Zel stared at him blankly.

"...success?"

These words seemed to be a candle flame, which rekindled the hope in his heart and sintered his spirit which was on the verge of collapse.

"That's right. He used his last bit of strength to open the Great Barrier, which protected the Ankylosaur Clan for a full thousand years, allowing you to survive the catastrophe a thousand years ago."

"But this is not enough. He promised that He would take you to the starry sky, take you to embrace civilization, and find the Zeta Empire hidden on the other side of the starry sea... And a child who cannot complete spiritual patricide will never be able to leave his father's arms. You will only stay in his arms forever and become smaller and smaller. In order to fulfill your future, He used his own blood as a sacrifice and completed the final sacrifice. From then on, each of you is a dragon."

Luo Yan gently stroked the dragon egg in his arms, feeling the red warmth shining through the dragon scale eggshell, and continued in a gentle tone.

"Now, He has been freed from His mission and can finally live His own life... I mean, live His own life."

The confused look faded from Zel's face, and tears were streaming down his dry scales, which hit the ground along with his knees.

"Lord Dragon God... why are you doing this?" He murmured to himself, his heart was filled with emotion and he couldn't help sobbing.

It hurts too much.

He felt sorry not only for the Dragon God, but also for the countless young men of the Ankylosaur clan who had devoted themselves to blood sacrifices over the past thousand years... It turned out that they didn't have to die.

There is still hatred in his heart.

Damn the Parr family—

For their own selfish desires, those guys who regarded themselves as Saint Kings from generation to generation not only fooled themselves, but also fooled everyone. They even wanted to drag everyone to be buried with them in the end!

That beast completely let down Lord Dragon God!
Fortunately, Lord Dragon God is a good person, and he eventually shot this heinous criminal into the sky!
Thanos looked at the tearful lizard man in surprise, then looked at the Demon King, and then looked at the dragon egg in the Demon King's hand, and couldn't help swallowing.

Is it...

Is this thing really the Dragon God’s egg?

He almost believed it!

Looking down at Zel who was kneeling on the ground with a sorrowful look on his face, Luo Yan adopted a dignified tone and continued speaking while holding Gutaf who was still an egg in his arms.

"Zel, the Great Barrier has protected you for a thousand years, but now its mission has come to an end. The Dragon God gave me his final will in his last words. He entrusted you to me and asked me to take you back to the land he once left. From now on, all you need to do is to be loyal to me."

"I understand……"

Zell's voice was extremely pious.

"The Ankylosaur clan will offer you eternal loyalty... We will follow you forever, until the end of the starry sea."

Luo Yan nodded with satisfaction.

"Get up."

"Now you are part of the Necropolis as well."

Sarah, Blancia and others standing nearby also showed awe and admiration on their faces. Alacdo was the same, but he felt a little uncomfortable besides awe - what if the dragon egg really hatched a giant dragon, and the respected Demon King didn't want to ride him anymore?

Although the dragon's bloodline suppression made his eight legs tremble, the look he gave the dragon egg unconsciously became sinister...

Youyou, who was floating aside, sighed softly, expressing the thoughts of everyone present, and also expressing the emotions that no one could possibly have in their hearts.

It has read the complete log.

"As expected of the Demon King..."

This is too ridiculous!
