Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

The night sky overhead was filled with thick dark clouds, with lightning hundreds of kilometers long flashing through the clouds. The city below, which had suddenly fallen into darkness, began to be lit up bit by bit by the emergency power supply.

When Lu Mingfei looked at the man in the light and shadow behind Su Xiaoqiang, it was hard to tell whether his eyes were sad or happy. They had not seen each other for many years. The last time they met, they drew their swords and fought each other, wishing they could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. It seemed that even all the water in the Milky Way could not wash away the hatred engraved in their bones.

He could kill Norton without any psychological burden, but he could not bear to watch Old Tang die in front of him.

"Hey, Old Tang, it turns out you are not dead." Lu Mingfei said softly. The cracks in the world opened up above his head. Where the lightning flashed, the sky was torn into spider-web-like cracks. Only he could see those cracks, and deep in the cracks, two worlds unfolded.

Time froze, and Old Tang, or Norton, unexpectedly accomplished a miracle that Lu Mingfei had only seen in Lu Mingze.

The melted ice stopped flowing, and the splashing water was suspended in the air. Wa, who was full of anger and wanted to cut Kungunir into pieces, kept stomping her feet downwards. Su Xiaoqiang, who appeared in the form of an empress like Xia Mi, turned out that the hem of her skirt was woven with flames.

"Ming Fei, you did a great job." Old Tang's voice was so ethereal that it seemed as if it did not sound in this world at all.

Lu Mingfei stared at him blankly, while Old Tang lowered his head to look at his hands. “So this is what death feels like.” He said, raising his eyebrows with a sense of humor, and then stretched them out. “It’s like falling asleep. To be honest, I really like sleeping. When I was living in a rental house, I could sleep for a whole day and a night on holidays…”

"What's going on..." Lu Mingfei asked dryly.

Old Tang sighed. "The King of Bronze and Fire is the second throne created by Nidhogg among the four great monarchs after Weidefornil. The Black King gave the White King the same power as him and the first Sky King the supreme power. When he created Constantine and me, he handed the unparalleled alchemy secrets to me."

Lu Mingfei was a little speechless.

This guy always reveals his shortcomings in inexplicable places over and over again. Even though he gets excellent grades in every subject at Kassel Academy, he can never escape the reality that he is barely getting by at the Night Watcher relying on the answers stolen from who knows where by the good dog Finkel.

"Alchemy exists in seven kingdoms. Elemental substitution allows me to simulate the ancient manifestations of other dragon kings. Spirit recasting allows us to revive with the help of nuclear weapons after death. Concept armament gives Odin's mask and the seven deadly sins special abilities. Time reversal allows true alchemy masters to avoid fatal injuries. Space opening helps the dragons build a magnificent civilization in the Nibelungen. Life creation creates heroes in Asgard and summons terracotta warriors in the bronze city. Cause and effect separation makes the war you launched in Tokyo just a natural disaster that occurs once in a thousand years in the eyes of ordinary people." Old Tang said slowly, "But these are not the true mysteries of alchemy."

“Neither time nor space counts?” In Lu Mingfei’s opinion, time and space are probably the most difficult things to understand in the world. It is more profound than life and death, and cause and effect are just the product of the flow of time.

"The Black Supreme uses fate to weave his web of world domination on the throne in the north of the world." Old Tang said, "Fate is the true alchemical secret. Few people can truly change their own fate. You are a special case. Even the world can do nothing about you."

Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment. “You are not the first person to say this,” he said.

"Jörmungandr was given the absolute control over all forces in the world, and the eternity that allowed Odin to linger until the next Ragnarok. What he gave me was fate, and I can always see through fate." Old Tang said softly, "I saw that you and that child named Chen Motong, your destinies came from different worlds. Those two worlds and our world are branches of the same timeline."

Lu Mingfei was shocked. He guessed that Old Tang might know that he was the variable who came back from the future to change his fate. However, he never thought that Old Tang even knew Nuo Nuo's background clearly.

"Where's Eri? She's from another time and space just like us."

"She and one of you are from the same world, otherwise a third timeline would be extended... Actually, this statement is also wrong. You are not from another world. You just had a long dream, in which you experienced your own life in another world." Old Tang nodded, "They are not the focus. The focus is on you and me."

Lu Mingfei showed a puzzled expression.

"No matter which world it is, if Odin has sensed the approach of Ragnarok and is going to put into practice the conspiracy he has been conceiving for hundreds or thousands of years, then the first throne he will kill must be Bronze and Fire." Old Tang scratched his forehead, with a helpless look on his face. "This is the fate of Constantine and me. It is also the complete slumber of my brother and I that completely tore apart the balance of power and elements on this planet and sounded the horn of Ragnarok."

Lu Mingfei remembered that the little devil had told him that the early arrival of Ragnarok was because Odin had swallowed too many dragon bone crosses from the Dragon Kings, causing an imbalance in the Tao, and so he became the anchor of the inevitable event of Ragnarok.

Now that Old Tang says that the clarion call of Ragnarok was sounded by the death of him and Constantine, their death becomes the anchoring event of Ragnarok and cannot be changed in any way.

"To this day, human warfare still essentially uses fire and metal to kill the enemy. My brother has been rooted in this tribe for a long time and has long learned to think with human minds. Accordingly, when war comes, he will also use fire and metal to fight against the Supreme who crawled out of the abyss." Old Tang laughed contemptuously, "In the prophecy of Ragnarok, all the gods will fight each other, we will slaughter each other, and only the last winner will be qualified to enter a new era. I and my scepter are almost the uncrowned kings in this era. The alchemy secrets that I have mastered can also destroy those mythical weapons that he spent thousands of years to forge. So I will be killed no matter what."

"But an accident caused you and Chen Motong in the other two worlds to project your respective destinies into your dreams in this world. When that incident happened, I saw what happened in those two timelines." Old Tang put his hands in his pockets and lowered his head. "Similarly, at a certain moment in history, Norton in other worlds also saw me."

Lu Mingfei didn't understand what Old Tang wanted to say.

Old Tang raised his head and looked at the gap in the world in the sky with a smile on his face: "This is a gamble. I used death to confuse fate, and then hid the power of alchemy in this little girl. Because she is not even a half-blood, she will not be noticed by Odin before the power is activated... When you used the weapon I forged to cut open my chest, I saw your fate. Today you were destined to be killed by Kungunir, but there are always bugs in the world. The resurrection of the King of Bronze and Fire through the body of a human girl has set off a shocking wave in the long river of fate. Ragnarok is of course the ultimate conceptual weapon. Even I have never forged this kind of weapon, but it is still a torrent in the long river of fate... When the tide rises, the water flows over, and when the tide ebbs, the reef is still there. I am the reef, and this time I will stand in front of you."

Lu Mingfei saw that Kungunir had been broken into two pieces. He hesitated and said, "So it has been destroyed?"

"No, from the perspective of alchemy, it is my subject, but from the perspective of the raw materials used to forge it, nothing in this world can essentially surpass Kungunir." Old Tang shook his head, "But Odin will not be able to use it in the short term." "In other words, everything I have done has never changed my destiny, but has only pushed it forward, right?" Lu Mingfei suddenly asked.

If he did not come from another time and space, but just inherited the memories of Lu Mingfei from another time and space, then what is the meaning of everything he is doing now?

No matter which world it is, deep in the red well lies a withered girl, her soul wandering in the rainy night, waiting for the person who will never come to drop from the sky and take her out of hell.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid so." Old Tang whispered, "But all this is not unchangeable... This is the price I have to pay for preventing Kungunir from killing you. When a major historical constraint event like Ragnarok is affected, the world's correction mechanism will take effect. According to the rules, the world line will split again. One world line continues to move forward along the existing trajectory, and in the other world line you have already been killed by Kungunir. Finally, the second world line will affect the existing world line, and there may even be a convergence of events on both sides, until the last two world lines are reunited when the Ragnarok world descends... So the child will try a hundred ways to change the ending in her dream and only really accept reality the last time. This girl is actually not bad. She really likes you."

This time Lu Mingfei understood. According to Old Tang's meaning, if he helped himself block Kungunir once, this world would split into another parallel universe.

"But for some unknown reason, the original world line has been split into three timelines. The events in the other two timelines are very stable, so from now on, the world's correction mechanism will cause the other two timelines to have an impact on this world." Old Tang smiled slightly, "Of course they can affect you, but correspondingly, why can't you affect them?"

Lu Mingfei's pupils shrank slightly.

"What should I do?" he asked softly, "What should I do to change the history that happened in the other two world lines?"

"I don't know either, but there is always hope, right? I hope you can help me touch Constantine's head when you see him again, so that he won't be afraid." Old Tang said, he turned around, and his originally illusory shadow was like a candle in the wind that could dissipate at any time.

"We can truly change our fate and make the worlds meet. The opportunity to rewrite the tragedy is in your hands, Mingfei." Old Tang put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked away, "Don't let yourself down... Don't let me down."

Lu Mingfei stared blankly at his back as he left, and the sound of the man humming an old and lonely song rang in his ears.

He called out to Lao Tang loudly, but he neither looked back nor stopped. He just went farther and farther away, until he finally turned into thousands or tens of thousands of points of light, flying in the sky like fireflies, and finally withered away in the howling cold wind.

The frozen time melted at this moment. Lu Mingfei felt the wind around him begin to flow, and saw the ice melting like a misty rain falling in the air.

Suddenly, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky, and Lu Mingfei looked up.

At this moment, all the supreme beings or gods still alive in the world raised their noble heads and looked towards the sky where wind and clouds were rising.

Fate finally reveals its true face. How do you want to change it? What choice do you make? Now the choice is in your hands. Face the malice of this world.

Lu Mingfei in every world looked up at the same time.

One of them had his heart pierced by Kungunir at the Sacred Heart Hospital. He was going to use the half carbonized face to smile at the red-haired girl who was silently crying behind him, but now he slowly raised his head in the empty space and met the eyes of Lu Mingfei of this world. At the same time, the little devil descended from the sky with unparalleled power and embraced him, turning him into the ancient supreme.

The other one knelt on the ice field in the northernmost part of Siberia. On the ice surface in front of him, illuminated by the fire, the graceful and even domineering woman was like a rebellious swan with broken wings, and at this moment, she was shot through the left chest. Qiao Weini's scarf flew up, and her long hair fluttered in the cold wind. Lu Mingfei raised his face and cried softly. His world collapsed and his heart ached. He turned a blind eye even if the sky cracked and the world cracked. He cried and howled, "No, no, don't, don't do this...", but there was another voice echoing on the ice lake, as if it was hanging straight down from the center of the sky, and repeatedly pouring out anger between heaven and earth. The voice said, "How dare you! How dare you! How dare you!"

History and destiny intersect at this moment. Who knows which one will become the future, reality or dreams?

Lu Mingfei sighed deeply. An invisible burden suddenly and silently pressed on his shoulders, making him breathless, but there was also a sense of relief spreading in his chest. He had been thinking that maybe Eri in another world was still dead, and maybe his apprentice sister in another world was still killed by Chu Zihang. Now he finally confirmed this.

The world wants to correct his mistake, but he also wants to punch the world. Fate is something that is born to be torn to pieces. The gold in Lu Mingfei's pupils is surging.

This is the real opportunity to change the tragedy...

he wants……

At this time, the girl in front of him opened her arms and hugged him tightly. She was still wearing the flame-woven tasseled long skirt, and her hair was filled with a warm fragrance. She buried her face in Lu Mingfei's chest, and after a few seconds she sobbed softly.

"Hey, hey, please consider that I'm still here! Wouldn't it be a bit out of place if I don't join you at this time?" The high-pitched voice of Lord Wa came from the side.
