He went to his desk, where Norma had already opened and organized the documents sent by Lu Mingfei.

Examine the information above bit by bit.

The Holy Bishop, the Alchemy Matrix, and the Dragon Clan are not important pieces of information.

It's fine if religion is practiced by ordinary people, but it's a big problem if it's practiced by those who wield significant power and decision-making authority.

As for the Alchemy Matrix, its ultimate goal is nothing more than the Black King.

Angers retrieved an important piece of information from it.

That is the Bronze and Fire King, whom these ordinary people and the dragons call the "Angel of Fire".

It is inferred that the King of Bronze and Fire has been awakened for at least several decades and has begun to secretly plot, with the Holy Bishop possibly being his doing.

Can......

If it were any other dragon king, Angers might have believed it, believing that a dragon king must have been behind it all.

If it were the King of Bronze and Fire who had been awakened for decades, he would be deeply puzzled.

Dragon King Norton has not yet recovered his power, nor even his memories, let alone the Nibelungen, which requires immense power to activate.

Could it be that Constantine, one of the Dragon King's twin sons, has been revived and successfully left Baidi City?

Did they plan all of this?

"Norma, is there any news of Constantine?"

"...There is no news of Constantine, and there are no unusual phenomena near White Emperor City. There is a high probability that the Dragon King Constantine has not been revived."

If there's no news about Constantine, then who is this Dragon King?

Are there other Dragon Kings impersonating him?

Would the Dragon King really set aside his pride to impersonate another Dragon King?

He estimated that it wouldn't happen.

So the question is, who is this third King of Bronze and Fire?

Angers was deeply troubled by this question, pondering it endlessly. The Dragon King had always been a twin.

Apart from the White King, the eight Dragon Kings each have their own flaws. It was precisely because Nidhogg did not want to see the White King betray them again that he deliberately left these flaws. Only by eating the White King can they evolve into their perfect form.

The loneliness ingrained in the dragon race makes them cherish this companionship and reluctant to devour the "family" who have always been with them.

“Principal Angers, the Gattuso family has designs on the dragon corpse that Lu Mingfei brought in.”

“Whoever dares to steal it, I’ll kill them,” Angers said coldly.

"The school staff are already waiting outside. Please, Principal Angers, do not move."

......

Lu Mingfei had no idea what he had gone through in the past few hours.

He was blindfolded, and when he opened his eyes again, he only felt soreness in his back and waist.

Before me lay a gray expanse, the sky hazy like a crescent moon hanging on the horizon, casting a faint moonlight.

There was an indescribable smell in the air; it was damp and cold, and with a slight breeze, it could even trigger a rheumatism attack on the spot.

The first impression Lu Mingfei had was that it was cold, damp, and chilly.

"Oh no, have I been abandoned in the wilderness by Nuwa?" Lu Mingfei checked his body parts to make sure nothing was damaged.

"Stop looking, you can't see anything missing no matter how much you look." Nuwa swayed her gleaming snake tail as it swam across the ground, approaching a low building.

"This is what the place where the King of the Ocean and Water is sealed looks like. I don't let people with rheumatism come in."

Lu Mingfei followed in Nuwa's footsteps, looking at the cool, plump snake tail and resisting the urge to touch it.

Nuwa explained.

It took a lot of effort to kill the King of the Ocean and Water.

But fate had other plans. A dragon king unleashed unparalleled power, directly breaking through the encirclement and killing many of the mixed-bloods who were trying to capture them.

This included Nuwa's parents, as well as the chosen ones from various prominent families, powerful hybrids who were the backbone of society; very few of them survived.

That battle provided another dragon king with an opportunity to escape. That dragon king plunged into the Yangtze River and disappeared without a trace downstream. There are rumors that he swam northward.

This dragon king also fell into a period of weakness.

This should have been the best opportunity to kill the Dragon King, but no one in the Zhou family could activate the alchemical weapon "Dragon Slaying Platform," so they could only gather the power of other families to seal it completely.

Once the Zhou family has grown up and someone is able to use the Dragon-Slaying Platform, they can kill this Dragon King.

This seal has stood for ten years.

Nuwa took over the position of head of the Zhou family.

It wasn't that she didn't want to kill the Dragon King; she was simply waiting, waiting for a specific date.

She lost both her parents in the bitterly cold early winter, several months before winter even arrived.

She wanted to use this dragon head to pay tribute to her parents' spirits in heaven, as well as those elders who died in battle, so that they could rest in peace and close their eyes in peace.

"Since this Dragon King is useful to you, let's kill him later. Perhaps we can wait until the eleventh anniversary of their death to kill him." Nuwa's worried face regained its innocent smile.

It's like a child being praised by their parents.

She pushed open the long-sealed door, the rusty iron door scraping against the ground with an unpleasant sound.

"Thank you." Lu Mingfei followed him in.

The two got into the elevator, which only displayed the words "Descending" on it. After a few minutes, it finally reached the bottom.

An alchemical matrix the size of a football field appeared before Lu Mingfei, with a person riddled with swords in the very center.

He sat cross-legged, seemingly to preserve his last shred of dignity.

"You're here again, and with a newcomer? Is he the future head of your Zhou family?" A mocking voice came from the throat of the person in the alchemy matrix.

Nuwa ignored the Dragon King's mockery.

"He is the King of the Ocean and Water, named Li Wuyue. Ask me any questions you may have. I'll wait for you outside and come in to pick you up in two hours."

She glanced at the time, then swam away from the room again, her snake tail moving gracefully.

“My name is Lu Mingfei. My grandfather is Lu Shanyan. You should have met him. I didn’t expect you to still be alive.”

“You have a bit of your grandfather’s look. He’s dead, isn’t he? It’s a pity I won’t see what he looks like after his death, otherwise I would be very happy,” Li Wuyue said.

"I never saw him die. Perhaps he died with his eyes open, since I'm the only one left in the family who can inherit the Lu family bloodline."

Lu Mingfei didn't care about the principles; he was stating the facts.

Li Wuyue stopped teasing Lu Mingfei, feeling that he was boring and as calm as a stone.

"You didn't become the Zhou family's son-in-law just to chat with me, did you?"

“I have a girlfriend, and I’m not fortunate enough to be Nuwa’s boyfriend, nor am I worthy.” Lu Mingfei paused. “I’m here to talk to you about your family matters.”

"I have experienced the power of your Dragon King, which can alter cause and effect. My friend was affected by this power and lost his loved ones. I want to ask, to what extent can your power achieve?"

Li Wuyue raised an eyebrow and looked at Lu Mingfei from a distance.

"To alter cause and effect and influence history requires an extremely high position, power and strength. Only a monarch with extremely strong power can comprehend and grasp the 'Tao' and thus take action against it."

"Of course, if someone has a high rank and high comprehension, but lacks strength, they can only influence a small area or erase one or more entities, but cannot significantly affect the course of history."

Li Wuyue smiled slightly.

"As a gift for our first meeting, here is an answer for you: the modification of cause and effect, the influence of history, cannot be done anytime and anywhere. It requires a time and space node. Time, space, and event are all indispensable. Only things affected by time and space nodes can exert their power. Otherwise, they will not have much impact."

Spatiotemporal node?

It seems that Chu Zihang's father driving towards the overpass was a point in time and space.

Is this Dragon King really that honest?

"Question two: Did you establish a religious organization called 'Holy Bishop' or anything like that thousands of years ago?"

Li Wuyue closed her eyes, seemingly recalling memories from thousands of years ago, looking back on the past.

"Religion?" Li Wuyue seemed to recall something and looked at Lu Mingfei.

“We don’t do these things, but some faiths that worship us have emerged, and human sacrifice and human burial have continued for how long. I don’t remember. I remember a man named Zi Shou. He had good ideas, but unfortunately he didn’t live long. I once thought about promoting him.”

"Religion...don't you mortals all like this? When you encounter something you can't defeat, you worship it, humbly groveling at the feet of the strong, letting yourself be driven, the baseness in your bones."

Li Wuyue's answer confirmed that a religious belief similar to that of "holy bishops" did exist, but it was unexpected that they had survived in Nibelungen for thousands of years and continued to this day.

The question is, how did they manage to develop technology to a level similar to what we have today?

No, that small mountain village had no electricity at all; it seemed to be stuck in the last century, and the clothes were also from that era.

"Question three: Have you ever met the King of Bronze and Fire? Do you know that he is plotting something? He might resurrect your 'old father'."

Li Wuyue chuckled, seemingly mocking, but without any clear target.

"He's stuck in his own little corner all day, trying to concoct some Seven Deadly Sins. Does he really think he can kill me? That's laughable."

"No dragon would ever resurrect Nidhogg. Guess how Nidhogg died?"

Li Wuyue's eyes still shone brightly even in the dim environment, staring intently at Lu Mingfei.

Something's not right... If none of the dragons will resurrect Nidhogg, then what was the purpose of the Alchemy Matrix created by the Bronze and Fire Lord?

Want to play?

Wait... Nidhogg, whom he mentioned, is already dead.

The person mentioned by the second-generation species and the villagers clearly did not die.

There is a clear conflict here; one side is deceiving itself.

What evidence do you have that Nidhogg is dead?

“…” Li Wuyue did not respond to Lu Mingfei, but just looked at him.

Lu Mingfei couldn't tell who was lying.

Are you lying to me?

He could only resort to the simplest method: asking directly.
