A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 12 Have you heard of the Old Church? The history before the Black King

Chu Zihang couldn't hold back any longer. He took two quick steps forward, stomping on the fallen leaves with a 'crunching' sound, and rapidly shortened the distance between them.

Those brilliant and intense golden eyes were fully ignited, like two blazing suns burning fiercely, and his whole being exuded the tyrannical aura of a dragon.

Meng Yutang didn't take it seriously, nor was he intimidated by the golden eyes. He examined the pupils with great interest, trying to find the lion hidden in them, but unfortunately he couldn't find it.

"How could you..." Chu Zihang struggled to maintain his composure, appearing quite shaken: "Just how much do you know?"

"Tell me, tell me!"

Chu Zihang, unusually, lost his composure; his originally calm face became anxious and nervous.

He disregarded everything and gave up Tsinghua and Peking Universities after his senior year of high school, going abroad to pursue power, find Odin, and rescue his father.

Even in Kassel College, a major base for dragon slaying, there is not a single record of Odin.

Now we've actually gotten news of Odin from Meng Yutang!

The cold-faced killer could no longer suppress the complex emotions rising within him, and desperately wanted all the information about Odin.

"Look, you're in such a hurry again." Meng Yutang remained calm and composed, his tone unchanged despite Chu Zihang's anxious attitude, still as gentle as a spring breeze: "Classmate, please calm down."

Even if I told you, it wouldn't make any difference for now.

"Didn't you ever think about that?"

"Odin searched the world to collect warriors, but what happened after he collected them?"

"Will those captured warriors willingly fight to the death for Odin? Or will they be captivated by Odin's charisma and pledge their allegiance from then on?"

Despite his anxiety, Chu Zihang was still very sharp; he could easily come up with the answer to this problem even if he thought about it with his toes.

Those captured warriors could never have willingly submitted to Odin.

For example, Chu Zihang's father, Chu Tianjiao, was such a proud person that he resolutely drew his sword and charged into battle even when facing Odin from mythology.

How could this lion-like man possibly submit to Odin?
Wait a minute, Chu Zihang's expression suddenly froze, then he showed a look of fear. How many years had it been since he had felt fear after that rainy night?

Because Chu Zihang figured it out: if the warriors wouldn't submit, why was Odin still capturing people?

This indirectly suggests that Odin must have some mysterious means of forcibly controlling these warriors! Otherwise, why would he bother to collect them?
The thought of this filled Chu Zihang with panic.

How can he save his father?

As something approached, amidst a jumble of emotions, Chu Zihang instinctively took a half-step back, dodging Meng Yutang's hand that was about to pat his shoulder.

Meng Yutang withdrew his hand dismissively: "That's why I said that arranging this meeting is to show my sincerity."

"!" Chu Zihang's golden eyes lit up. He understood. He finally understood Meng Yutang's sincerity.

The other party is clearly skilled in the mysterious methods of manipulating the human body, and possessing Principal Meng Yutang's body is the undeniable proof!
In other words, if we can find Chu Tianjiao, we might be able to ask him for help to break Odin's control over Chu Tianjiao!
Chu Zihang's panicked emotions quickly subsided, replaced by ease and joy. His clenched fists completely relaxed, and reason returned at the same time: "Conditions."

Despite his joy, Chu Zihang did not let his happiness go to his head, remembering the truth that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Why should the other party help him for no reason?
Chu Zihang wanted to know the other party's conditions simply because he believed they were genuinely sincere.

Meng Yutang was even more satisfied. He looked Chu Zihang up and down, and his tone changed from gentle to mysterious.

As if unveiling some ancient secret: "Chu Zihang, have you ever heard of the Old Church?"

Chu Zihang shook his head. This was normal. Currently, apart from Xu Lie and the others, no one knew about the Old Church.

As the clone's spiritual energy gradually diminished, the ability to deceive subtly attached itself to Meng Yutang's words: "Then let me ask another question."

Do you know the history before the birth of Nidhogg, the progenitor of the dragons?

Chu Zihang's eyebrows almost met, but he remained silent and shook his head a second time.

Kassel College has history classes that specifically teach students about the history of the dragon race, but they never mention the history before that black emperor. The originally refined Meng Yutang gradually lost his composure, his facial features visibly becoming fanatical, and his hands began to gesture upwards: "Then please allow me to take up a little of your time."

“Let me briefly tell you about our guiding light and our Savior, the great Nine Old Ones.”

"When the planet was in its wildest time, the ancient gods already existed. They are the pillars of the endless starry sky, the masters of the fate of all living beings, and the immortal beacons for our pursuit of eternity."

"Unfortunately, our planet is too small. The ancients eventually left their home planet, mercifully spreading their infinite glory throughout the universe."

"Although the old days have departed, some of the remnants of the old days have given birth to spirituality, spontaneously gathered together, and from this, the dragon progenitor Nidhogg was born."

Chu Zihang gritted his teeth, trying his best to suppress the shock in his heart and not show it on his face, but in the end he could not hide his surprise.

An indescribable and unbelievable expression appeared on his face.

Because it was so outrageous, according to the other party, the so-called progenitor of the dragon race, the Black King Nidhogg...

They are nothing more than waste left behind on the planet by the ancients.

Just like when you move, you try to take the items you need, and you leave the things you don't need behind because you're too lazy to move them.

Nidhogg the Black King belongs to this level.

This is so drastic for Chu Zihang's worldview!

That's the Black King!

The origin of all dragons, the emperor who created such a vast race, and Nidhogg, whom many hybrid elites constantly fear upon his resurrection!

So, at the level of the Old Ones, the Black King's status was so low? He was simply abandoned on the planet by the Old Ones?

Is what Meng Yutang, or this mysterious person who has taken over Meng Yutang's body, saying true or false?
If this is the truth, then the entire history of hybrid races and the entire history of dragons will have to be rewritten! It is the ultimate truth that overturns all the histories of both dragons and humans!

But if he said it was fake, Chu Zihang couldn't find any loopholes to refute it.

Moreover, because of the scammer's abilities, Chu Zihang had begun to trust him somewhat.

Even with Chu Zihang's sharp mind and intelligence, receiving such a massive and astonishing amount of information caused him to feel as if his brain had shut down.

My scalp tingled, and my thoughts almost came to a standstill.

After recounting the greatness of the past, Meng Yutang slowly lowered his hands, his fervent expression gradually subsiding, and he returned to his refined and amiable demeanor: "I just said that."

"When the Great Old Ones left the planet, a portion of them spontaneously coalesced to form Nidhogg, the Black King."

"But there is another part, as ancient treasures, quietly waiting for future generations to arrive."

“Our old church is one of those lucky ones who happened to find what was left over from the old days.”

"In order to restore the former glory and fight against the dragons lurking in the dark side of the world, our old church has been searching for people of ambition."

"Seek out the outstanding individuals who dare to tread the old path, acquire the old power, and ultimately follow in the footsteps of the old."

Chu Zihang finally understood the other party's conditions. There was no such thing as a free lunch. If he wanted to get help from the Old Church, he needed to join them and believe in the so-called Old Church.

If one joins the Old Church, wouldn't that be considered a betrayal of Kassel?

Could you perhaps communicate privately with the college and Professor Schneider about whether Chu Zihang has infiltrated this mysterious church?

Why did you only think about joining and never considered refusing?

Because Chu Zihang wants to save his father, he needs the help of the Old Church, and he also pursues the power to defeat Odin!
The old path, the old power—perhaps it truly grants him the strength to defeat Odin!

Chu Zihang was deeply moved!
