I, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, am being kept by the state.

Li Chen's voice was no longer as aggressive as before; instead, it carried a strange allure, like a demon whispering in one's ear.

"For example... your so-called 'faith'."

faith?

Everyone was taken aback.

What does this mean? This mythical beast from the East wants them to convert to a different religion?

Before they could react, Li Chen's enormous dragon claw moved again.

This time, however, he wasn't referring to any objects.

It is one person.

"you."

The dragon claw pierced through the void, pointing precisely at Professor Wilson, who was kneeling at the very front, looking utterly dejected.

"He's got something interesting about him."

Li Chen narrowed his eyes. Deep within the soul of this mortal old man, he saw an extremely pure, even somewhat obsessive, light.

That was a fanaticism for "truth".

This kind of fervent mental power, although not as gentle and nourishing as the power of incense and prayer, has the advantage of being... extremely pure.

With a little guidance, this old man might become his first "high priest" in the Western world.

"come over."

Two simple words, yet they carry an unquestionable law.

Professor Wilson felt a sudden lightness in his body, and his entire being floated up uncontrollably, slowly flying towards the surging white mist and the terrifying deity.

"professor!"

"NO! Let him go!"

The members of the inspection team screamed in terror, but they didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Wilson hovered in mid-air, getting closer and closer to the giant dragon head.

He was so close that he could see every tiny line on the dragon's whiskers and feel the scorching heat emanating from its nostrils.

When fear reaches its extreme, it turns into numbness.

Wilson pushed up his cracked glasses, looked at the enormous figure before him, and tremblingly asked the boldest question of his life:

"Does God...understand physics too?"

Li Chen looked at the tiny mortal in front of him, a slight smile playing on his lips, revealing a set of fangs powerful enough to tear an aircraft carrier apart.

"physics?"

"Those are the rules that mortals set for the world."

"And I..."

Wilson's pale face was reflected in the enormous dragon's eyes.

"It's just the rules."

"professor!"

"Let him go! Damn it, that's our chief scientist!"

In the expedition team, a burly white officer's eyes were bloodshot. He was Black Mamba's second-in-command, codenamed "Viper."

Seeing his national treasure-level scientist being taken away like a sacrifice, his long-standing tactical training made him react instinctively.

His right hand flashed to his lower back, drew his gun, cocked it, and aimed.

The movements were fluid and swift as lightning.

This is a specially made "Desert Eagle" loaded with depleted uranium armor-piercing rounds, powerful enough to shatter an elephant's skull at close range.

"stop!"

Wang Yijun's expression changed, and he was about to stop him.

But it was too late.

Viper's gun was already locked on the golden dragon head that was faintly visible in the clouds, and his index finger was about to pull the trigger.

"don't want……"

Chen Dong stood to the side, not even lifting his eyelids, just looking at Viper with the eyes of someone looking at a dead man, and softly uttered two words, "Looking for death."

Just as the viper exerted force with its index finger.

"Snap!"

A sharp, teeth-grinding cracking sound suddenly rang out on the deathly silent mountaintop.

"ah!!!"

Viper let out a piercing scream, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter".

He stared in horror at his right hand, where his once strong and powerful index finger was now twisted at a bizarre ninety-degree angle, its bone shattered and hanging limply.

A clear fingerprint was left on the trigger guard of that specially made pistol.

It's not that he can't pull the trigger.

Instead, the instant he conceived the idea of ​​"attacking," an invisible, terrifying aura acted directly on his hand, like a hydraulic clamp, crushing his fingers and deforming the Desert Eagle, known as the king of guns.

"To wage war in God's realm?"

Li Chen's voice came from high above, carrying a hint of nonchalant mockery, "Did you trade your brains for courage?"

The entire audience fell silent.

The remaining bodyguards were frozen in place, as if they had been doused with a bucket of liquid nitrogen, their guns still drawn. Cold sweat instantly soaked their backs, and they didn't even have the strength to move a little finger.

That was absolute suppression from the level of life itself.

Meanwhile, Wilson had already floated to the front of the white jade platform.

Looking directly at this colossal object up close, the visual impact is enough to shatter one's soul.

Each dragon scale is like a golden shield, with mysterious light flowing across it;

Those golden vertical pupils seemed to reflect the rise and fall of stars.

"mortal."

Li Chen lowered his massive head, the heat emanating from his nostrils causing Wilson's hair to dance wildly. "There's a rotten smell in your body."

"You have late-stage pancreatic cancer that has spread to your liver. The doctor said you don't live more than three months, is that right?"

Wilson was startled, an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

This is his absolute privacy!

Even the President of the United States didn't know, so how did he figure out that it was a dragon?

"Do you want to live?"

Li Chen's voice was incredibly seductive.

"I want to...I want to!"

Wilson nodded frantically, his will to survive overcoming his fear.

"Then I will grant you a great destiny."

Li Chen extended a huge dragon finger, its tip trembling slightly.

A drop of golden liquid slowly condensed from the tip of a sharp fingernail.

It is crystal clear, like molten gold, with tiny lightning flashing inside, and exudes a captivating fragrance.

Just smelling the fragrance made Wilson feel the excruciating pain in his lungs lessen.

"This is a drop of waste blood that I expelled when I cleansed my physical body. Although it contains many impurities, it is already an unparalleled sacred medicine for mortals like you."

Li Chen flicked his finger.

"call out!"

The golden droplet transformed into a streak of light and instantly disappeared into Wilson's brow.

"ah--!!!"

Wilson suddenly let out a scream ten times more piercing than the one from the viper.

He fell directly from mid-air onto the white jade platform, frantically scratching his skin with both hands.

"professor!"

The Western delegation on the shore exclaimed in surprise.

"He's killing people! He's torturing prisoners of war!"

A French diplomat broke down and shouted.

"Shut up and watch."

Wang Yijun coldly rebuked.

On the white jade platform, Wilson's body was undergoing a terrifying transformation.

His originally dry and loose skin swelled up rapidly as if it had been inflated, and then turned bright red like a branding iron.

With pores open, countless black, foul-smelling sludge mixed with dark red blood clots were forcibly squeezed out by a domineering force.

"Sizzle sizzle—"

The cancer cells in the body were instantly burned away by the high-temperature dragon energy.

Wilson felt as if he had been thrown into Lao Tzu's alchemy furnace.

pain!

It hurts so much!

Every nerve is burning, every cell is breaking down and rebuilding.

But in the depths of extreme pain, he saw something else.

In that bizarre and fantastical world, he saw people riding flying swords, traveling thousands of miles in an instant;

Someone unleashed a punch, shattering mountains and rivers;

I saw someone sitting cross-legged in the void, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, with a lifespan of ten thousand years.

In comparison, his prized nuclear fusion technology is like a primitive man playing with flint.

"Is this...the truth?"
