Chapter 968: The Power of the Destiny-Creating Diagram
Gu Heng was puzzled, but seeing that these dragon prodigies seemed to be concentrating intently, carefully sensing the subtle changes in power, he didn't want to disturb them.
Anyway.
As long as they don't mind.
As the dragons sensed the changes in their bloodlines, they all fell into a strange stillness, their emotions rising and falling like the sea, unable to find peace.
Becoming stronger is certainly a good thing.
But becoming stronger for no reason always raises some questions.
For example, they wondered why this seemingly ordinary piece of paper possessed such power. While they dared not say it could rival the divine power of the Dragon God, it was enough to astound them. Yet, it was clearly a human artifact.
Humans refer to all groups that are different from them as "other races," making no attempt to conceal their mentality of "those who are not of our kind must have different hearts."
Therefore, those who are called "other races" naturally don't have much interest in humans.
Although the Dragon Clan civilization has grown quite close to the human race, they are not entirely familiar with each other. After all, the races are different, and their cultivation methods are also different. So even if there are occasional exchanges, their knowledge of each other is limited.
but.
Among the prodigies present, there were some who understood the secret behind it.
such as.
Xingxia is a young dragon from the Xingyan lineage.
Among these thirteen prodigies, she was considered to be of lower rank in terms of strength. This was not because of her talent or aptitude, but because her bloodline level was weaker than that of the other prodigies. As a second-class bloodline, Xingxia believed that she was no worse than the other prodigies in this respect.
But if there weren't a "low-class" person with fourth-class bloodline here, she would be the one to bear the ridicule of someone like Yin Qu.
There is no other reason.
It's because Xingxia doesn't really look like a true dragon with a powerful bloodline and superior aptitude.
What she craved was not to hone her body and strengthen her bloodline day after day to become stronger, but rather the "knowledge" that the dragon civilization did not care much about, which was created and promoted by humans!
If we say that the dragon civilization itself was quite close to humans...
That Xingxia got too close to humans, to the point that even other dragons couldn't accept it!
As a result, she became an unpopular outcast, even her own brothers and sisters found it hard to tolerate. They felt that if she continued like this, she would eventually be bewitched by cunning and treacherous humans, and might even betray her origins!
Therefore, despite being a renowned prodigy among the second-class bloodline clans, Xingxia always felt out of place.
Compared to those inferior beings, what Yin Qu and his ilk hate even more is that "outcasts" like her actually possess such talent, which is simply an insult to the power and purity of second-class bloodlines!
Even her arrival here somewhat defiles the sanctity of this sacred burial ground of the true dragon.
But Xingxia didn't care.
She might have been resentful before, but she has come to terms with it now.
She wanted to become a "wise person," not a ferocious beast that only knew how to fight and kill.
If there is any advantage that humans have, it is precisely the "knowledge" they possess.
No matter how powerful the dragons' bodies are or how noble their bloodlines are, they are all insignificant compared to the qualitative change that "knowledge" can bring.
Xingxia firmly believed that she was on the right path, despite the condemnation from many.
But if she has the last laugh, then she is the winner, and the rest are just clowns.
Since she knows enough about humans, even some obscure secrets from the past, therefore...
Just as the dragons were filled with doubt and greedily enjoying the wonderful feeling of their bloodlines being nourished and optimized, Xingxia's expression suddenly turned into disbelief!
"No, it can't be, could it really be..."
The stars seemed to be talking in a dream, filled with unbelievable horror, as if they had witnessed the greatest miracle.
"Xingxia, what did you find?"
Yuezi immediately noticed her good friend's sudden change in mood and quickly asked what was wrong.
Xingxia suddenly looked up, her gaze fixed on Gu Heng, then quickly lowered her head again, as if even a second glance would inspire greater awe. "The...the Secret Diagram of Destiny...this is the paper of the 'Secret Diagram of Destiny'!"
Her voice carried a resolute hesitation.
"Wait, you mean the Secret Chart of Destiny Creation?"
Yang Zhun was the first to react, and he was even more surprised: "Are you sure?"
"It's certain, that nourishment that directly touches the source, the conceptual level, and the supreme mystery of 'drawing the unreal into the real' inherent in the paper itself..."
"There's no mistake, it must be the Secret Diagram of Destiny Creation!"
Xingxia took a deep breath, as if drawing courage, her voice filled with a mixture of pilgrimage-like fervor and fear.
Unexpectedly, one day she would actually be able to see it with her own eyes, and even touch it with her own hands!
For her, who thirsted for knowledge, this was no less than any reward! "The Secret Diagram of Destiny Creation?"
"what is that?"
But the other prodigies looked blank; this term was completely unfamiliar to them.
"You don't even know this?"
Seeing that the other dragon prodigies were equally puzzled, Xingxia immediately realized that even humans might not be able to recognize this thing directly, let alone dragons.
Helpless, she said, "The Secret Chart of Destiny is a picture book made with supreme means. It is a treasure made by mankind by seizing fragments of the authority of the 'Lord of Creation', a god of the era!"
"It is said that the one who wields this painting only needs to use their heart as a brush and their thoughts as ink to outline what they think on it. Whether it is a departed spirit or something that does not yet exist, as long as the wielder's intention is clear enough and their strength is sufficient to support it... the things in the painting can be born from nothingness and materialize from the concept!"
"What you think can come true; this is the true treasure of creating something from nothing!"
Xingxia knew that this Destiny Creation Secret Diagram was absolutely the most precious of treasures!
This applies not only to humans, but also to dragons.
No wonder simply touching the paper of the Destiny Creation Manual was enough to advance their bloodline; the source of the Destiny Creation Manual's power is an epochal deity!
The fact that humans created this secret diagram of destiny proves that they have successfully usurped the power of the gods!
But since humans have both killed and created gods, compared to the previous two achievements, usurping the power of gods seems somewhat less significant.
If the Dragon God's divine gift is a manifestation of divine power, then this secret diagram of destiny creation is the same.
"hiss!"
Gasps of astonishment filled the air. Was it a depiction of illusion as reality? Creation from nothing? The authority of the gods?
The meaning represented by these words was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of these dragon prodigies!
No wonder, the paper of this "Destiny Creation Secret Diagram" contains the divine power of the same era gods, which is fundamentally optimizing their "foundation" and raising the "upper limit" of their life level!
It truly helps them defy fate and change their destiny.
Now that I think about it...
All the prodigies felt a chill run from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads, instantly freezing all their pride and resentment.
In the eyes of this human venerable one, these so-called "dragon prodigies" are probably only worthy of a small fragment torn from this supreme treasure, or even less.
This is probably the maximum "charity" the other party has given out of consideration for the will of the burial ground.
It's laughable that they were just muttering complaints, still dissatisfied, still feeling that this venerable one was belittling them, and that this reward was unworthy of their noble bloodline.
How dare they question someone who could casually tear off a "Destiny-Creating Secret Chart" as a reward?!
Yang Zhun stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, his whole body trembling with nervousness.
"This junior was blind and did not recognize the supreme treasure and divine power of Your Excellency. I had previously harbored many disrespectful thoughts and accusations, which was a grave mistake!"
He didn't even dare to think whether the doubts and dissatisfaction they had just expressed had been remembered by this powerful human.
Moreover, the will of the burial ground is clearly protecting these ignorant dragon cubs and preventing them from seeking their own deaths. Disrespect for the strong is a sin in the dragon civilization!
Even disrespecting powerful foreigners is a crime that applies.
With Yang Zhun taking the lead, how could the other dragon clan prodigies dare to stand still?
"Thump! Thump! Thump..." A series of knee slamming sounds rang out, like the dull beat of a drum.
"This junior was foolish and ignorant, and offended Your Excellency. I thank Your Excellency for not remembering this kindness!"
"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Excellency! I will forever be grateful!"
"Your Majesty's divine might is truly beyond my comprehension; I have absolutely no disrespect whatsoever!"
Their previous frustration, dissatisfaction, and disdain had long been replaced by boundless fear and fanatical awe. Now they only hoped that this unfathomable human venerable would not hold their previous offenses against them.
The dragon race's veneration of power is far more fervent than that of humans.
Xiao Bai also knelt down, head bowed, his body trembling slightly, but not out of fear or horror, but out of extreme excitement and indescribable pride!
Sure enough, the master is the master.
He would never allow himself to end up being ridiculed by everyone. Gu Heng: "..."
He maintained his calm, unfathomable "venerable" demeanor, standing with his hands behind his back, his "profound" gaze looking down at the kneeling, trembling dragon prodigies below.
However, he was internally arguing with the system.
"A stroke of the brush becomes reality? A painting of illusion becomes real? Something created from nothing?!"
"This tattered picture book is so amazing, why didn't you tell me before?"
"I used to draw pictures on it, and I even drew stick figures. Could it have conjured them all up?"
"Tell me the truth, or I'll fight you right here!"
