Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 293 Why does the Federation want to preserve history?

“So… the situation has become this dire…” Yuan Enzhen’s voice was dry and hoarse, trembling with lingering fear.

He prostrated himself deeply once more, his forehead striking the cold jade floor with a heavy thud, his voice filled with heartfelt gratitude and reverence: "Thank you for your grace, God. We thank you for your guidance, for our foolishness nearly led us to commit a grave error."

"Alright." Lu Jun sensed that the fluctuations of prayer transmitted by the offering mark had subsided, and this matter was settled.

He didn't say anything more, and the blurry figure, like a reflection in the water, began to become illusory and transparent.

"If there is nothing else, I will return."

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the divine being!" Yuanen Zhentian and Yuanen Tiandang prostrated themselves on the ground in the most devout posture, shouting in unison, "Our clan will burn incense and pray day and night, offering sacrifices without ceasing, in gratitude for the divine grace!"

Just as Lu Jun was about to leave, he suddenly returned and appeared in front of the father and son.

"By the way, does your Yuanen family have any books on history? I mean, not the versions available to the general public."

"This one……"

The father and son exchanged glances, then respectfully replied to Lord Lu:
“My Lord, our family is not very interested in history books. In addition, the Federation has a strong control over history books, so even our reclusive family cannot get our hands on other versions of history books.”

Lu Jun frowned.

This made me even more curious about historical events.

Why would the Federation choose to block history?

"Do you know which faction possesses other versions of history?"

Yuan Enzhen thought for a moment, then said:

"Even the highest levels of the Federation probably don't know about other versions of history, since history books have been forcibly sealed away and cannot be known by anyone."

"So, ten thousand years ago, after we humans and soul beasts coexisted in harmony, we decided to hand over the right to write history to the soul beasts."

"Nowadays, history books are recorded by spirit beasts, then handed over to a few hidden humans for review, and only after they are approved are history books born."

"But few people know exactly who is responsible for reviewing the history, because the humans responsible for the review are determined by the soul beasts. To be honest, I don't know exactly what happened that made us humans hand over the initiative in this regard to the soul beasts."

“Apart from that, we really don’t know anything else.” Yuan Enzhen shook his head.

"Okay, I understand. Thanks for the message. I'm off."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jun's light and shadow completely disappeared, leaving only wisps of incense smoke and the pounding of the father and son's hearts that could not calm down for a long time in the temple.

……

Mingdu, the giant Soul Guide Mall, inside the VIP restroom on the top floor.

Lu Jun slowly opened his tightly closed eyes. In his deep, starry eyes, the indifference and oppressive aura of a deity receded like the tide, restoring the unique clarity and a touch of languor characteristic of a young man.

He raised his wrist and glanced at the time displayed on the soul communication device.

"Hmm... about ten minutes. That's just the right amount of time to resolve personal issues."

The corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Then he fell into deep thought.

Why exactly did the Federation seal away its history?
Forget it, there's no point in guessing since we have no clues.

Anyway, it must be my fault again.

"Sigh, this is completely different from the original story. My current identity and status mean that I don't have much information or intelligence to access."

"Then my advantage of knowing the plot in advance is the same as not knowing it at all!" Lu Jun gave up thinking.

He straightened his clothes, pushed open the door, and went out.

His face showed a hint of relief after resolving a major issue, and his gait became much more normal.

Passing through the mirror-like corridor, exiting the mall, and merging into the bustling crowds of Mingdu, I strolled leisurely towards the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The sunlight was perfect, shining on him, as if what he had just seen from his throne overlooking all living beings was merely an illusion.

Right now, he's just an ordinary genius teenager who goes back to school after using the restroom.

Well, at least on the surface.

With the academy gates in sight, Lu Jun was in a pretty good mood, having finally put aside his earlier struggle with historical issues.

The Tang Clan's gift has been delivered, and the Yuan En family's minor trouble has been resolved. Now, all that's left is to quietly wait for some interesting things to unfold.

Life can be quite interesting sometimes when you're behind the scenes.

He thought contentedly, hands in his pockets, his figure blending into the vibrant atmosphere of the academy.

……

At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the training grounds are still bustling with activity.

The roar of surging soul power, the explosions of colliding soul skills, and the shouts of the students gritting their teeth and persevering intertwined, filled with high morale.

Everyone is making their final push for the final exams a month from now.

Lu Jun's figure appeared at the edge of the training field, his gaze sweeping over the familiar figures who were practicing together.

He was planning to go and see how their adjustment period was going.

Just then, a slightly hurried figure broke away from the training group and walked quickly towards the academy gate; it was Le Zhengyu.

His short, golden hair gleamed in the sunlight, and his face held an eagerness.

Lu Jun's heart stirred slightly, and he was about to step forward to ask when Le Zhengyu seemed to sense something and turned around, immediately seeing Lu Jun returning.

"Lu Jun." Le Zhengyu paused, a hint of surprise on his face, which quickly turned into a hearty smile as he explained, "You're back? Perfect timing, I was just about to leave."

"Are you going?"

Lu Jun walked closer.

“Yes.” Le Zhengyu nodded vigorously, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit. “There’s still one month left. I won’t be working with everyone for this month. I’m going back to my family to receive the inheritance.”

"A month is enough time for me to complete the family's inheritance. The class monitor is already a Soul King, I can't fall too far behind. Once I complete the inheritance, my strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. Then I'll come back and fight alongside everyone to destroy Shrek City and crush those bastards."

He paused and added:

"I've already asked my dance teacher for leave, and I've also talked to my friends. Everyone... understands and supports me!"

Lu Jun looked at the pure and intense light in Le Zhengyu's eyes, a flame that burned with the will to become stronger, for his companions, and for the beliefs in his heart.

He nodded slightly, a genuine smile appearing on his face:

"I wish you all the best. I look forward to your amazing return."

"Thank you for your kind words." Le Zhengyu grinned, then, as if remembering something, looked at Lu Jun's slightly thin figure with concern, "I also wish you a speedy recovery. When I return, we'll fight side by side again!"
