Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2682 First Encounter
What is this place?
Looking at the desolate wilderness shrouded in fog in his dream, Li Ji suddenly realized that this was not his dream.

This is not the dream of a person named Li Ji, but the dream of the Azure Dragon God.

When Ying Baoyue broke through to the Heavenly Rank and the Second Rank, he had seen this wilderness before him.

But this wilderness had never been so clear before, so clear that he could even see every single insect crawling on the skeleton in front of him.

Li Ji realized that he had entered the depths of the Azure Dragon God's dream, and before him were the Azure Dragon God's sealed memories.

Li Ji stood in the fog-shrouded wilderness, silently gazing at the enormous skeleton.

So this is the corpse left behind after the Azure Dragon God and the White Dog God fought their great battle.
Li Ji had previously heard Dongfang Yi say that the Azure Dragon God and the White Dog God both fell from the sky during their final battle, and their true forms never reappeared.

He was neither seen alive nor dead.

The northern grasslands were so vast that the founding emperor sent thousands of people to search for the remains of the Azure Dragon God in the wilderness and various mountain ranges, but after searching for several years, they could not find even a single bone and had no choice but to give up.

Many cultivators speculate that the Azure Dragon God's body may have fallen into the seabed of the North Sea and is now stored in the underwater tomb along with the remains of other dragons.

When Li Ji and Ying Baoyue fell into the bottom of the North Sea together, they entered the Dragon Clan's divine tomb. At that time, he had not yet awakened the will of the Azure Dragon God, but he could sense that the Azure Dragon God's remains were not in the underwater divine tomb.

The remains of the Beast God will not disappear easily.

The remains of the Azure Dragon were now standing before Li Ji.

It turns out that after the Azure Dragon God fell, he did not fall into the sea, but landed on a wasteland and turned into bones.

The skeleton lay there quietly on the wasteland, as huge as a small mountain.

Li Ji stood blankly before the enormous head, reaching out to touch the cold, pale bones.

The skeleton before me was so awe-inspiring; the dragon's head lay silently on the ground, and the dragon's skull alone was taller than a human body standing upright.

Why were such enormous skeletons never discovered by anyone in the end?

Logically speaking, that's impossible.

Just then, Li Ji received the answer to his question.

Footsteps suddenly came from behind him.

Li Ji turned around and froze.

A young girl, carrying a crimson lotus sword, stood behind him.

"plum……"

The moment Li Ji saw that face, he felt his blood freeze.

This was a face he knew all too well and that was etched into his very being, but it wasn't Ying Baoyue.

The person standing in front of him was Li Zhao.

But this girl was not Li Zhao from his memory. She was too young, looking only about ten years old.

Really? Really? Really?
Yes, she wasn't the Li Zhao he knew either.

At this moment, he should call this girl Lin Baoyue.

Li Ji suddenly clenched his clothes at his chest, a sharp pain shooting through his chest. The next moment, the girl had already brushed past him.

This happened in the past, and Lin Baoyue in her memory could not see him.

The girl walked straight up to the enormous skeleton, her expression one of utter shock.

"Lord Dragon God? Why is this happening?"

So, after the Azure Dragon God fell, it turned out that Lin Baoyue was the first to discover the Azure Dragon God's body?

Li Ji turned around and stared in astonishment at the small figure behind him.

He was utterly shocked by the truth of the past.

Why didn't he know about this before?
He and Ying Baoyue were already of one mind, and he was certain that Ying Baoyue did not have this memory, nor did he have it in the memories of the Azure Dragon God he had awakened.

So this was Ying Baoyue's first encounter with "He"?

Ying Baoyue's past soul has fully returned, and her memories as Lin Baoyue should have all returned as well. But why do neither the Azure Dragon God nor Lin Baoyue remember this?
Li Ji stared intently at the girl standing before the Azure Dragon's remains, sensing that some truth was about to be revealed.

He froze again the next moment.

Because the girl in front of me was crying.

Lin Baoyue's tears were as rare as Ying Baoyue's, sliding down the little girl's face like large pearls.

"Do you... want to die?"

Li Ji realized that Lin Baoyue was actually talking to the Azure Dragon God.

She actually understood it.

Although the Azure Dragon God exhausted all his strength in the battle against the White Dog God, his physical body would quickly decay into bones after landing because the Azure Dragon God himself chose "death".

He has lived too long and has now completed his mission, exhausted both physically and mentally after defeating the white dog.

At that moment, the ancient god truly wanted to choose death.

Li Ji didn't know why Lin Baoyue, a fire mage, was the first to find the Azure Dragon God's corpse, why she could read the Azure Dragon God's will, or why she was crying so much.

"Yeah, why?"

A voice suddenly rang out from Li Ji's body, both sighing and helpless, "I have never seen such a person in my life."

She is probably the only person in the world who can evoke such a sigh from the gods.

Li Ji listened to the self-narration of the Azure Dragon God within his body, his feelings incredibly complex. If he were to describe Ying Baoyue, he would probably say the same thing.

"I met her for the first time just as I decided to leave this world."

The Azure Dragon God spoke calmly, yet every word stirred up a storm in Li Ji's heart.

Li Ji raised his head and looked at the little boy who was suspended in the air, his feet chained and still in his childhood form.

"So...you chose to be reincarnated?"

The Azure Dragon God remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

What a tragic fate this is!

“I don’t know why,” the little boy said calmly, “it was probably just a momentary lapse of judgment.”

Looking at the girl who was weeping sadly before his remains, he suddenly gave up the idea of ​​disappearing from this world completely.

However, His physical body had already vanished, and He could only be born as a human from the womb of the Queen of Eastern Wu.

This is something that has never happened before under the laws of Heaven.

Li Ji was at a loss for words...

If Lin Baoyue hadn't found the remains of the Azure Dragon God at that time, he wouldn't have been born.

So why was she crying?

The Azure Dragon God didn't speak, but looked at the girl standing in front of the corpse, "I wanted to know that back then too."

From the seemingly lifeless skeleton, a hoarse voice suddenly spoke, "Why are you crying?"

The girl was clearly not expected, and she trembled, staring blankly at the huge skull in front of her.

"Lord Dragon God, you're not dead?"

"It's no different from death. I remember you; you are the divine child of Suzaku."

"You and I have no enmity, so why are you crying?"

Lin Baoyue, as the most talented fire mage, had never met the Azure Dragon God, but he had heard of him. However, he did not understand why a fire mage would weep for a water mage.

Their enemies have been defeated, and He has completed His mission. Whether He lives or dies has nothing to do with His spiritual practice.

So why is she crying?
This was the first real meeting between the Azure Dragon God and Ying Baoyue.
