The third Golden Dragon accused, "Madam's face is so pale, she's just a human, she must have been injured by you! Boohoo!"
The fourth Golden Dragon disdained, "Madam looks so weak, human bodies are indeed fragile!"
The fifth Golden Dragon nodded in agreement, "It seems we need to protect Madam well from now on!"
Then the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth… Golden Dragons guiltily looked at Jin Bao'er. Upon meeting her gaze, they immediately lowered their heads to look at their own claws! They were incredibly nervous… It's over! If the Dragon Ancestor found out, would they be beaten to death?!
Jin Bao'er found it quite exasperating. She hadn't even said a word about being injured, yet they were acting so wronged and guilty first…
The Golden Dragon Patriarch also hadn't expected his subordinates to suddenly act up, and couldn't shield Jin Bao'er in time. Fortunately, Jin Bao'er quickly recovered. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned and glared furiously at all the dragons…
"You all! Run ten laps around the island! You are not allowed to stop to rest halfway!!"
As soon as the words fell, all the Golden Dragons stiffened! Immediately followed by grumbling! Each of them wore a tearful expression…
Ten laps around the island, and running with their claws… How long would that take them!
Don't forget, the island was not small! Ten laps by flying would take a whole day! Running… wouldn't that be exhausting to death!?
The Golden Dragon Patriarch sneered at their reaction! His oppressive aura suddenly descended!
All the Golden Dragons' pupils contracted, and they no longer dared to utter a word. They turned and began to sprint! A vast cloud of dust rose behind them, and the ground trembled as if in an earthquake!
In just five seconds, more than half of the arena was empty, and the air echoed with every sound.
Jin Bao'er did not speak up to plead for them. She looked at the majestic and imposing Golden Dragon Patriarch beside her! She had a premonition that if she spoke, he would punish them even more severely!
"Patriarch, I have something to discuss with you."
Having interacted with the Golden Dragon Patriarch ten thousand years ago, she didn't feel too unfamiliar.
The Golden Dragon Patriarch nodded and led her into the mansion behind the arena…
It was a massive cave! The furnishings inside looked like a palace, exquisite, orderly, clean, and magnificent! Vast amounts of gold, silver treasures, and crystal cores were displayed around!
"Is it related to the Dragon Ancestor?"
The Golden Dragon Patriarch sat on a soft couch, his gaze sharp and serious! Although it was a question, his tone was very affirmative.
Jin Bao'er was slightly surprised, then nodded! She told him everything that had happened, and then also told him the method Fox Language had mentioned.
"I've tried it. After he absorbed my Grand Dao power, his aura indeed became calmer, but he still wouldn't wake up! That's why I returned to the Dragon race…"
The Dragon race had existed for tens of thousands of years. The Golden Dragon Patriarch was the most reliable among the dragons she had met, and he had lived for an unknown number of years… Perhaps he would know more about Long Lixing's situation.
Yes, the Golden Dragon Patriarch from ten thousand years ago was not the same one as the current one! Although she was quite puzzled, because according to legend, divine beasts had very long lifespans, living for more than ten thousand years! But among the dragons she saw tens of thousands of years ago and the current ones, very few were familiar!
The Dragon race had undergone a complete overhaul! But the strange thing was, what was the reason for this overhaul? Where had those previous dragons gone?
Of course, what was more important to her now was whether Long Lixing would awaken.
The Golden Dragon Patriarch's expression became even stranger upon hearing this! A flicker of complexity crossed his eyes as he looked at Jin Bao'er! There was no surprise in his gaze at all.
"I know!"
"There is a place in the Dragon race, established by the Dragon Ancestor, and no one can enter without his permission. You can try going there!"
Jin Bao'er instinctively felt something was amiss, but seeing that the Golden Dragon Patriarch seemed fine! Moreover, this was the Dragon race, there was no need to harm her.
Following the Golden Dragon Patriarch's instructions, she arrived at a massive stone dragon statue. Within the gaping maw of the stone dragon was a shimmering barrier that pulsed with light! A sense of inexplicable danger gently emanated from within.
The Golden Dragon Patriarch explained.
"This place is called the Dragon Soul Realm! It contains the memories and dragon souls of all the ancestors of the Dragon race!"
He paused for a moment, then continued.
"Legend has it that this is the foundation of the Dragon race. As long as the Dragon race is not extinct, the Dragon Soul Realm will never disappear!"
What he didn't say was that the Dragon Ancestor had once instructed him! If one day the Dragon Ancestor encountered a problem that he couldn't solve, he should be sent into the Dragon Soul Realm!
At that time, he hadn't understood. With the Dragon Ancestor's power, what problem couldn't be solved? It wasn't until the Dragon Ancestor was sealed and his whereabouts became unknown! The entire Dragon race was forced to descend upon the Dragon Continent, and he felt indescribable emotions! Now, he was beginning to understand~
Perhaps, the Dragon Ancestor had foreseen this day long ago, and all of this was perhaps to await the arrival of this woman!
Thinking of this, the expression in his eyes became increasingly complex!
If this was the case, for this scene today, the Dragon Ancestor must have schemed for tens of thousands of years at least! Because his personality began to change drastically from tens of thousands of years ago. His inherited memories stated as such.
Jin Bao'er looked at the huge dragon mouth in front of her, her expression becoming more solemn! She had also noticed the Golden Dragon Patriarch's unusual expression, the look of expectation, and the strange disappearance of all the dragons from ten thousand years ago, which she had witnessed!
What had happened to the Dragon race? Perhaps only that man who was in a coma knew?!
She nodded and resolutely stepped inside. The moment her figure disappeared, the Golden Dragon Patriarch felt a great sense of relief. The shackles that had bound him for ten thousand years suddenly vanished.
His eyes widened, and his breathing became erratic with excitement! The promise made to the Dragon Ancestor had finally been fulfilled! It was a promise his Golden Dragon race made to the Dragon Ancestor, and it was finally completed when it reached him!
The Dragon Ancestor's instructions had long been etched into the bloodline of his Golden Dragon race! He didn't know what the Dragon Ancestor was plotting, nor what he was waiting for. He only knew that~ that mysterious, powerful, and absolute existence was their faith! Their god!
On the other side, after Jin Bao'er entered the Dragon Soul Realm, the sense of danger suddenly disappeared…
Since Jin Huang and Tian Shu had both been here before, she had expected the inside to be filled with danger, but upon actually entering, she found it to be a blank world!
When she released her divine sense, the feedback she received was still a void! There were no creatures, no things… truly nothing…
She frowned. Suddenly, thin, long threads of light flashed past beside her and converged in a certain spot! It was as if a world woven from threads was unraveling, then tangling together to form a rapidly spinning, coiling, and expanding spherical object…
Soon, the object took shape!
A crystal clear crystal ball appeared before her, with a black dot in its center. As if drawn by an irresistible force, she walked step by step closer…
On the crystal ball, a series of unfamiliar images gradually sharpened from blurriness to clarity…
