Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

That crystal is a [Spark], essential for saving the Grass Dragon.

It was created by the Grass King and his clan together, simulating the operation of the Grass Dragon's "Heart of the Oasis".

The Grass Dragon has been tormented by forbidden knowledge for far too long, leaving it with very little power. However, it can gradually heal itself by reactivating its source of power, the "Heart of the Oasis," with the "Fire Seed."

This is a rescue that spans thousands of years, and this life has given its all for it.

After saying all this, it could no longer persist and transformed into pure elemental power.

"Now, it's time to go find the Grass Dragon, Apep."

Jiang Bai was very curious about what the Grass Dragon looked like.

According to Nasita's speculation, due to the disappearance of forbidden knowledge, the Grass Dragon's body has formed a huge cavity, and its current state is extremely dangerous and unstable.

"Following the guidance of this flame, it can lead us to the Grass Dragon."

Heading west, endless yellow sand obscures the view.

"Although I've been to the Thousand Valleys Sandy Land before, this is my first time coming here with you all."

Jiang Bai wrapped his mouth and nose with a cloth and shook the sand off his body.

The sandstorms in the Thousand Ravines Sandy Land will probably never disappear in this lifetime.

“We’ve been here before, but never this deep inside.”

They are now deep underground in the Thousand Ravines Sandy Land, in a more remote location than before, in the center of Dama Mountain.

Kong, somewhat weary, complained, "The underground area of ​​Sumeru is probably no smaller than its above-ground area..."

There are underground caves everywhere, and each cave is interconnected and extremely large, so it's easy to get lost if you're not careful.

He harbored a great deal of resentment towards the Red King.

Why can't we just build the ruins on the ground? Why do we have to build them underground? And not only that, but there are so many of them, with so many traps and mechanisms! They're so winding and complex that they could trap people inside to death.

They truly suffered greatly in their search for the Golden Dreamland.

"Not only that, I heard that Kanria is underground in Sumeru. If that's the case, the area underground in Sumeru is much larger than the area above ground."

Kong's lips twitched slightly; he couldn't respond to Jiang Bai's words.

This topic, which had been brought up, ultimately could not be continued.

Naxi Da's expression was somewhat serious:

“I sense that Appepp’s power is lurking around us, sometimes near, sometimes far. This is its warning to us.”

Chapter 839 The Truth That Both Dragons and Gods Care About

"I also sensed a fluctuation of unfamiliar elemental power." Jiang Bai nodded, already prepared for battle.

You can sense how powerful the other party is just from the fluctuations of elemental power.

Nasita: "He noticed us a long time ago."

A sandstorm came rushing towards them, blocked by the Grass Dragon Apep.

"Let's continue deeper into the area."

They came to rescue Appepp, so even though Appepp didn't want to see them, he had no choice but to face the challenge.

"I can't see anything anymore..."

Paimon shielded his eyes with his hands, and all he could see was endless yellow sand.

Even though it was deep underground, it felt like I was in the eye of a sandstorm.

"It looks like something is popping out."

Jiang Bai squinted, wearing goggles, and could only see a huge shadow in the yellow sand.

This was an incredibly enormous figure; it was hard to imagine that the underground could contain such a massive body, comparable to a hill.

The key point is that this is only a part of the other party's body.

The oldest elemental dragons are truly terrifying.

"Little gods, little humans, leave my territory!"

A powerful, layered sound rang out, showing no mercy in driving them away.

Nasita looked up at his enormous figure and said, "We've come to save you, Apep."

“I don’t need to be saved, especially not by you, Buyer. You and Amon are like this, having existed for only a short time, yet you rely on the glory of the heavens to call yourself the lord of this place.”

Amon is the name of the Red King. Under the rules of Sky Island, they attempted to establish a three-god system of governance, but in the end, only the Grass God survived.

Apep loathed these gods; this place, even the entire Sumeru, was clearly her territory.

But the dead are dead, and there's no point in saying anything more about it.

It looked down at the tiny, sand-like figure below and uttered a warning that was cryptic.

"Look ahead carefully; you'll end up repeating the same mistakes."

Nasita sensed Apep's disgust and resistance towards her, but she had come here to save him.

She tried to persuade Appepp with words:

“I know you hate gods and humans, but you are already very weak. Why can’t you put aside this hatred for now?”

"Put it aside for now..." Apep's voice was full of sarcasm. "Foolish Buyer, even if you heal me, I won't be grateful to you. You are personally reviving the dragon that will destroy Sumeru and the Seven Kingdoms!"

Saving your own enemy is nothing short of foolish.

What a wonderful opportunity! Kill it, and she will be the sole master of Sumeru.

The grass element it released when it died might just turn the entire desert into an oasis.

Listening to their conversation, Jiang Bai seemed to be deep in thought.

The Dragon Kings are in opposition to the current order of heaven and earth, but some Dragon Kings have forgotten the past, while others still remember these hatreds.

"Time will eventually kill everyone. Although I am seriously ill, I am very lucid. I am not like those ancient dragons who compromised with you!"

Apep possesses the pride befitting a grass dragon; it would rather die than be saved by its enemies.

Nasita sighed; she had anticipated that language wouldn't work before she came here.

Apep is one of the oldest of the seven dragon kings. He personally participated in the war against the primordial beings. As the defeated one, he watched his world change and his people be driven out.

The world that once belonged to them no longer has a place for them.

I hate it! How could I not hate it?

It was constantly thinking about destroying the Seven Kingdoms and the laws of nature, so it swallowed Amon without hesitation, trying to use the power from outside the world. But the end result was that it was corrupted and fought against forbidden knowledge in its slumber for thousands of years.

"There was really no need to go this far. What we need is not 'confrontation,' but 'truth.'"

"Hmph, 'Truth'...this is the shackle that the 'God of Wisdom' cannot escape. I have already paid a heavy price for 'Truth,' and sooner or later you will too."

After Apep finished speaking, his body sank back into the yellow sand, and what appeared afterward were deformed and terrifying elemental life forms.

In order to combat "forbidden knowledge" and survive in the "apocalypse," these elemental life forms gradually changed their original beautiful forms and became what they are now.

They are drawn to the power of the "fire," which can temporarily alleviate their pain.

During the long process of adaptation, they only retained the instinct to survive and the energy to find the means to survive; everything else was abandoned in the process of "adaptation".

Jiang Bai was preoccupied with what they meant by "truth," and his attacks were half-hearted.

As an ancient dragon, Apef should have little to do with the war between the First Throne and the Second Throne.

Whether the first or second throne wins, they are both their enemies.

Therefore, it doesn't care about any dirty talk between the two thrones.

But what is the truth that both it and Nasita care about at the same time?

Unbelievable, there was so little information, I really couldn't have imagined it.

Just when he thinks he knows enough, a whole bunch of new mysteries pop up, driving him crazy.

These deformed elemental life forms quickly exhausted their power, and in order to allow them to return home, Narcida still used the power within the crystal.

Although this behavior was very risky, she couldn't just leave them there.

Even the most benevolent deities cannot ultimately ignore the yearning for life.

Although these were not her subjects.

Continuing further in, we arrived at Apep's hiding place.

This is a vast space, but it is inaccessible due to Apep's will.

“I’m here to save you, not just you, but also your people, and my people. After leaving their home, they’ve been searching for a way to save you; they really want to go home…”

Nasita's verbal attacks did have some effect after all, or rather, Appepp did care about the creatures it had spawned.

These creatures, like its children, suffer alongside it.

Now, they have found a way to cure it, just so they can go home.

A powerful suction force suddenly erupted in the air, pulling everyone in. No one knew where they would be swept away or scattered.

In desperation, Nasita used the power of the fire.

"Let's send it to [Homeland]—"

Protected by the power of the fire, the group arrived precisely at the home of the elemental beings.

However, as they landed safely, the flame was extinguished.

This fire was created when the Great Tree King was in a weakened state, so it is very unstable.

"What do you want to do!"

Jiang Bai saw the determination in Naxida's eyes.

"I want to... become a spark."

Leave

Something came up, I can't finish writing today.

Chapter 840 The Flower Goddess, Terrifyingly Powerful

In essence, the "spark" is a highly concentrated elemental force.

Nasita intends to use her own power to imitate this elemental force, which will consume a lot of her power and may even cause her body to revert to its state when she was first born.

To become a blade of grass, or a twig.

These are all prices that can be paid to save the Grass Dragon.

It must be said that this deity was far too benevolent.

I'd rather sacrifice myself than let Sumeru suffer the destruction caused by the eruption of the grass element.

"does it worth?"

Jiang Bai didn't know what to say; it seemed like there was no way to persuade someone about this.

He pressed down on Nasita's shoulder, his face full of disapproval.

"There's no question of whether it's worth it or not; it's simply something I should do. I am the grass god of Sumeru, and it is my duty to protect Sumeru."

"No, absolutely not!"

Paimon flew to Nasida and crossed his hands in front of him to form a large fork.

They couldn't just stand by and watch their friend die. Perhaps for Nasita, this was just a new beginning and a chance to grow, but for them, losing their memories and emotions and becoming a plant was no different from dying.

This is not just Nasita's battle; for the elemental beings, it is also their last chance to save their home.

They made sacrifices willingly. All the kin they collected along the way transformed their knowledge, language, emotions, memories... into pure elemental power.

Ignoring their grief, Nasida joined forces, and Apep's Oasis Heart began to revive.

The withered homeland has come back to life, but there is no sound anymore.
