Legend of the Dragon King: I really didn't mean to provoke them!

Chapter 56 The Dragon of Time and Space = The Cheat Grandpa

"However, you're wrong about one thing."

The Dragon of Time and Space yawned lazily again, then slowly opened its eyes, which were as vast as the Dragon Abyss.

The moment those dragon eyes, which seemed to hold the secrets of countless stars and ages, opened, Xie Xie felt as if his entire being was being sucked in.

The next moment, an endless chaos unfolded before his eyes.

There were no dragon gods, no nine dragon kings, not even heaven and earth or any living beings. Only the most primal and violent spatial turbulence collided, tore, collapsed, and reborn in the endless void.

Every dramatic shift in spacetime unleashes boundless light and darkness, and at the most extreme intersection of light and shadow, a wisp of dragon-shaped aura quietly condenses.

Heaven and earth are the furnace, time and space are the fire, and light and shadow are the embryo.

A giant, jade-white dragon quietly opened its eyes.

It is the master of overlapping light and shadow, a primordial spirit dragon born from the dramatic changes in time and space, a special existence that does not belong to any lineage but is superior to ordinary dragons.

It wasn't until the figure of the dragon god, who traversed countless worlds, appeared that this dragon, walking alone in the rifts of time and space, lowered its proud head for the first time and willingly became the most silent and secretive shadow guard behind the dragon god.

Xie Xie stood there, stunned, amidst the vast expanse of memories, his mind reeling.

It turns out that the Dragon of Time and Space was not created by the Dragon God, but was a dragon of innate laws born from the chaotic light and shadow before the creation of heaven and earth.

"No way, you're already this awesome, why would you want to be the Dragon God's shadow guard? Why not just kick it out and become the Dragon God yourself?" Xie Xie couldn't help but complain.

However, upon hearing Xie Xie say this, the Time-Space Dragon shook its head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

"I'd have to be out of my mind to even think about becoming the Dragon God. You only know that the Dragon God is awesome, but the things he does are things that dragons simply can't do."

“Every day, he bleeds out his own blood, releases his essence, creates his people, and handles the affairs of the dragon race.”

"Then he went on to fight in various battles without stopping, from the Douluo Realm all the way to the God Realm. I never saw him rest."

"Every day when I open my eyes, it's like being bled dry; when I close my eyes, it's like being in battle."

"The Dragon God is similar to Thanos from the Avengers."

The Dragon of Time and Space flicked its tail, creating ripples in space and time. "The reason I submitted to him, besides the Dragon God's personal charisma, was mainly due to the constraints of the Heavenly Dao."

"Besides, who wants to deal with the mess that the dragon race is in?"

"Think about it, the Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King betrayed each other, leading to the fall of the Dragon Prince and the Dragon God going mad."

"The three Dragon Kings of Light, Fire, and Water were killed by the Dragon God."

"The battle hasn't even started yet, and half of the nine Dragon Kings have already been wiped out, with the remaining four Dragon Kings dying in battle."

"Later, the Dragon God was cut in two by the Asura Sword. In the end, I had to tear open a gap so that the Silver Dragon King could escape the God Realm and return to the mortal world to recuperate."

Xie Xie crossed his arms. "So, during the Dragon God War, you were slacking off the whole time??"

"Slacking off my ass! I was busiest during that period!" The scales of the Time-Space Dragon Qi stood up as soon as he mentioned this.

"I admit that the Dragon God has some charm, but when he goes berserk, the spacetime planes of the God Realm and even the lower realms are almost destroyed, forcing me to work overtime every day to maintain them!"

"We finally managed to stabilize the plane, but when we returned to the God Realm, the Dragon God had been split in two!"

The Dragon of Time and Space sighed wearily, "If I could, who would want to deal with this mess? Wouldn't it be better for me to just stay quietly in my spacetime rift?"

I didn't realize that the Time-Space Dragon was actually an i-dragon.

The Dragon of Time and Space took a deep breath to calm himself down. "In short, this era is different from before. You can't play without cheating."

"You don't need to worry too much. As my chosen successor, I am your cheat code."

As the Dragon of Time and Space finished speaking, his body suddenly began to emit golden light, and five large, golden characters appeared above his head: "Grandpa with the Cheat Code".

"Hiss..." Xie Xie silently took out his sunglasses and put them on.

"So, my Light Dragon Blade and Shadow Dragon Blade martial souls still have the potential to evolve, and could even directly evolve into the Light Dragon King and Dark Dragon King?" Xie Xie's eyes lit up as he spoke.

A cup of coffee had appeared in front of the Time-Space Dragon without its noticing. The dragon gripped the handle with the tip of its claw, brought it to its lips, and took a sip.

“That’s right, the three Dragon Kings of Light, Darkness, and Time and Space are one of the trump cards I’m giving you.”

"This is one of them?!" Xie Xie was utterly shocked.

"What's the big deal?" The Dragon of Time and Space slowly put down his coffee. "My birth was at the same time as the Creator God. If we're really talking about foundation, even the Dragon God can't compare to me."

That's true. Xie Xie knew that there was someone else behind the Dragon of Time and Space.

Even if the main body doesn't take action, any of the other clones, such as Jormungandr or Zhujiuyin, could easily defeat him here.

The two chatted for a while longer, until finally the Time-Space Dragon couldn't stay awake any longer and lashed Xie Xie back with its tail.

After Xie's figure completely disappeared from the space-time rift—

The Time-Space Dragon no longer maintained its dignified appearance and lay down sprawled out.

It scratched a crack with its claws, pulled out a bag of potato chips, tore it open, and poured them into its mouth, crunching away as it did so, a hint of amusement flashing in its dragon eyes.

“Interesting. Chaos is the origin of the Dragon God, and it cannot be formed by simply fusing the two elements of light and darkness.”

"But... who knows?"

A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Time-Space Dragon.

"Dragon God, isn't this right here?"

……

The days of class passed quickly, until this day, Wu Changkong brought some unusual news.

"Today, we're going to the Spirit Pagoda."

Wu Changkong didn't offer any further explanation and simply led the five of them away from Donghai Academy.

Halfway there, Tang Wulin tugged at Xie Xie's sleeve, "Xie Xie, what is the Spirit Ascension Platform?"

"Seriously? You don't even know about the Spirit Ascension Platform?"

Before Xie Xie could speak, Zhang Yangzi quickly explained, "There are only eighteen Spirit Ascension Platforms on the entire continent. They are training grounds for Soul Masters, built by more than a dozen Title Douluos in conjunction with a large number of researchers!"

"Inside, you can feel the charm of the ancient world of Soul Masters!"

Ancient times?

Xie Xie thought about it and realized that it made sense, as the story of Legend of the Dragon King takes place 10,000 years after Peerless Tang Sect.

Because of Xie Xie, the five of them have a much better relationship now than in the original story.

It's not an exaggeration to compare Xie Xie to the hub of a small team.

"Not only that," Zhang Yangzi continued, "but there's also the opportunity to increase the cultivation years of your soul spirit at the Spirit Ascension Platform!"

"Your soul is ten years old and still at the first ring. Your spiritual power doesn't need to be spread out, so the probability of improvement is the highest!"

"Oh, really?!"

Tang Wulin was secretly excited because the ten-year soul ring limitation was ultimately his biggest weakness.

Zhang Yangzi patted his chest and said, "Of course it's true! After all, the battles we fought against the soul beasts inside were all real combat. If you don't believe me, go ask Brother Xie. He definitely knows more than I do."

As Wu Changkong walked, he said, "He's right."

“Starting today, you will have one day a week to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform of the Spirit Transmission Tower for cultivation.”

"Cherish this opportunity. The college specially allocated funds to secure this opportunity for you."

"Huh?" Xie Xie scratched his head in confusion. "You should have said something earlier. My dad happens to have a partnership with the Spirit Pagoda. He could have just spoken to them directly."

The four people: ...

How could I forget that there's a second-generation heir here?

Chapter 57 The world is so big, and there are so many idiots.

The group chatted as they walked, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

Before long, a magnificent building came into view, which was one of the eighteen branch towers of the Spirit Transmission Tower.

Its appearance alone exudes a grand and majestic aura. Standing tall and imposing, its magnificent presence inspires awe in all who behold it.

As I slowly walked up the steps to the gate, I found that the Dean of Students, Long Hengxu, was already waiting for me.

Seeing Wu Changkong approaching with a group of students, he quickly went to greet him, "Teacher Wu."

"Director Long." Wu Changkong responded calmly.

Upon entering the first floor of the Spirit Pagoda, Tang Wulin was instantly awestruck by its magnificent interior decorations. The dazzling furnishings and exquisite layout exuded the nobility and majesty of the Spirit Pagoda.

Xie Xie's gaze was drawn directly to several giant murals. Last time he came, he was in a hurry and didn't have time to appreciate them carefully.

The murals depict legendary Soul Masters, rendered with remarkable lifelike detail.

Compared to Huo Yuhao, who occupies the central position of the mural, the portrait of Tang Wutong next to him is more captivating to him.

Gazing at the stunningly beautiful Tang Wutong in the mural, Xie Xie muttered to himself:

Is this Wang Dong'er, Wang Qiu'er, or the real Tang Wutong? Or is she Tang Wutong who possesses three sets of memories simultaneously? Won't that cause Tang Shenwang, that bastard, to suffer a mental breakdown?

In conclusion: Tang Shenwang is a scoundrel.

On the other side, Wu Changkong softly explained the connection between the murals and the Spirit Pagoda to everyone. The others listened with fascination, immersed in this legendary story.

“Tang Wutong…” Gu Yue murmured, a strange look in her eyes. “This name is very similar to Tang Wulin’s, and even her eyes are very similar to Wulin’s.”

Xie Xie raised an eyebrow.

As expected of the Silver Dragon King, his sixth sense is exceptionally sharp.

Zhang Yangzi stepped forward with a smile, breaking the delicate atmosphere: "It should just be a coincidence. It's normal for their names to be similar, and their eye colors are different. How could they possibly be related?"

Listening to their conversation and looking at Dragon Butterfly Douluo Tang Wutong, Tang Wulin felt a strange sense of closeness in his heart.

However, he quickly shook his head with a self-deprecating smile.

Compared to Dragon Butterfly Douluo, what am I?

After lingering briefly in the lobby, the group, led by Long Hengxu and Wu Changkong, headed towards the elevator.

As they stepped into the elevator, the doors slowly closed, and a slight feeling of weightlessness gradually washed over them. They could clearly feel the elevator carrying them downwards, deeper into the ground.

During the elevator's descent, Wu Changkong solemnly instructed, "Once you enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, remember not to act rashly."

"Once you enter the Ascension Platform, you will only be able to rely on yourselves."

"Therefore, you must always put your own safety first, and if you encounter a danger that you cannot handle, immediately trigger a distress signal!"

Tang Wulin asked in surprise, "Teacher, aren't you coming in with us?"

“Different levels of the Spirit Ascension Platform have strict strength restrictions,” Xie Xie explained. “For example, the primary Spirit Ascension Platform that we are about to enter has a maximum strength limit of three-ring Soul Masters.”

Long Hengxu nodded at the right moment and reassured them gently, "Don't worry, we will also be monitoring your situation from outside."

"A short while later, a staff member will explain the precautions to you."

The elevator continued to descend.

It took a full three minutes before it slowly came to a stop.

Stepping out of the elevator, you are greeted by a spacious and bright lobby, where a dozen or so staff members in uniform are performing their duties. Behind the lobby, a series of metal-framed passageways extend outwards.

Long Hengxu took out a uniquely designed card and handed it to one of the staff members.

However, the staff member did not take over immediately; his gaze lingered on Xie Xie for a moment.

Then, he took out a communication soul tool used inside the Spirit Tower, walked to a corner, and began to communicate with someone in a low voice.

Long Hengxu was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

Not long after, the staff ended the communication.

After carefully storing the communication device, he respectfully took the card from Long Hengxu's hand, then made a standard gesture of invitation, leading everyone into the passage.

After walking several dozen meters along the passageway, they entered another elevator.
