Skadi, returning to infinity

There are narrow-minded ideas such as the true dragon having no ability to pass on its power, and that it cannot develop new technologies or its traditions will be lost.

Anything that you can use and that can improve your skills is good.

As for what other people think, that's their business. The true dragon will not force others to think in sync with its own.

"A city defense machine?"

The illusory little dragon floated behind the real dragon, unaware of the thoughts of the person before it.

"Then we should look for ancient weapons, which are usually found underground, especially beneath ruins that may contain the remains of civilizations."

"A great deal of information has already demonstrated this."

"The discovery of the Rhodes Island was an accident; the other side was just very lucky, so it can't be taken into account."

The Phantom Dragon seems to have some aversion to Rhodes Island.

"arrive."

The true dragon ignored what the other dragon was saying and kept its eyes fixed on the magnificent hall in front of it.

There were no guards around, but it was very safe here.

After confirming that they had arrived at their destination, Zhenlong stretched and his long robe fell off.

The two maids took the robe and then left respectfully, leaving only the real dragon and the illusory little dragon inside.

"Let's go back."

He beckoned, and the illusory little dragon entered the dragon statue in the middle of the hall. The real dragon then called out.

"Why are you calling me?"

After the little dragon returned, the dragon statue trembled and its surface shone brightly.

The jade sculpture was later transformed into a real golden dragon.

The golden dragon flew into the air, hovered on the crossbeam, lowered its head in front of the real dragon, and asked.

"I want to know, who will be the one to whom the fate of the Great Yan Dynasty rests in our hands?"

The dragon's expression was very serious; he was completely clear about what he wanted to know.

"Oh, the fate of the Great Yan?"

"Ha ha··...."

"This is nothing to worry about."

"Everything will be alright once everything is completely finished."

"If you are really worried, then go find the person I told you about before, the one who can become the Empress of Great Yan."

"With her, the Great Yan will be secure."

Jinlong remembered his words very clearly.

It was simply curious whether the true dragon had acted according to its own wishes.

"...I am unable to win her over for the time being."

Shaking his head, Zhenlong himself felt somewhat ashamed.

"Oh? Why?"

The true dragon's words surprised the golden dragon.

"She is a very unconventional woman who doesn't care about my so-called identity as the True Dragon of Great Yan."

“If it weren’t for our cooperative relationship, she wouldn’t even want to have any communication with me.”

"It's not easy to solve a problem with someone like that."

"We can only try to solve it from other aspects."

"At present, perhaps the most important thing is for me to think about how to make her my empress."

Shinryu shrugged, and Haihui Temple had some different thoughts about not being able to win over Skadi.

"It seems things are much more difficult than I thought."

"But if a troublesome process can lead to a sweet result, it might be a good thing."

The true dragon understood the meaning of those words very well.

"It's not that easy."

"The future of the Great Yan will be fine, right?"

The dragon didn't want to think about that anymore; he wanted to continue asking about the future of his country.

"Without that woman, the outcome would likely have been very dangerous."

"But if that woman were there, the Great Yan could have a stable development for hundreds of years."

"Of course, fortune may be the harbinger of misfortune, and misfortune may be the harbinger of fortune."

"Every destiny has a price."

"Only when you understand the destiny you can control can you control your future destiny."

"If you can't even control your own destiny, then no matter how much ability you have in the future, it will only be wasted by fate."

“True Dragon, you bear the destiny of the Great Yan. If you perish, the Great Yan will perish.”

"If you endure, then the Great Yan will endure."

"This is not just me making things up, but rather the most reasonable speculation I can make given the current situation."

"This land is home to countless living beings."

"The desires of every living being are so strong."

"Their desires could fill the entire chasm of the earth."

"But true desires often do not come from humans, but from a more mysterious being."

"Such mysterious things have appeared in this world."

"If you want to survive, just stay away."

"Contact with such mysterious objects will change one's fate."

"Even if you are a true dragon, you may not survive if you encounter this mysterious thing."

"Only that woman can keep you alive."

"If you encounter something extremely dangerous, find it, pay what you should pay, and the problem will be solved."

Jinlong seems to have a vision of the future and knows that some things are about to happen.

The "woman" it refers to, based on its conversation with the dragon, clearly refers to Skadi.

As for why it was Skadi, and why one could turn to Skadi for help in times of danger, that remains a secret for now.

"I understand."

"However, there is still one thing I don't understand."

"Why did those enormous Originium-infected beasts appear?"

The true dragon was very concerned about the dangers facing his country.

Moreover, these enemies have already come to the doorstep of his country, to the gates of his imperial city.

It would be strange if the true dragon didn't want to find the cause and solve these problems.

"It arises from resentment."

"As for whom I resent, it cannot be said, it cannot be said."

"We cannot give you any answers at this time."

"The only thing I can tell you."

"Do not seek revenge."

Do not seek revenge.

What does this mean?

Is Jinlong telling himself that even if he encounters danger, even if a terrible outcome occurs, he cannot retaliate?

Isn't that utterly absurd?

As a true dragon, having to avoid real danger like this made the dragon somewhat uneasy.

"If you don't know how to avoid harm and danger, how are you any different from a reckless fool?"

"A true dragon is not a warrior who fights on the battlefield, but a strategist who plans and strategizes behind the scenes."

"After all, you carry the hopes of countless lives in the Great Yan. If you die on the battlefield, I'm afraid the entire Great Yan will lose its Dao heart and fall into chaos."

"By then, the Great Yan Kingdom will be destroyed, and countless people will be displaced..."

Is this what you wanted to see?

Jinlong was speechless at Zhenlong's blockheadedness.

This guy wasn't like this before, why has he become so stubborn now?

"I don't want to see it."

"But I do not want to be a weak monarch."

“When faced with danger, I, as the king, always retreat and hide behind all my subjects.”

"Then the entire Great Yan Dynasty is not far from disintegration."

The true dragon's eyes were very serious, and what it said left the golden dragon with no way to refute it.

Yes, if the true dragon had always evaded danger and had not stepped forward even once.

That was the real nightmare and tragedy, the end of the entire Great Yan dynasty.

"Good, that's tough."

"I will wait and see, and watch you."
