Douluo Dalu: Reborn Great Sage Conquering Demons, Nuo Dance to Calm the Demons

Chapter 20 New Mission
Although he had expected it, Xiao was still surprised when it was confirmed by the Emperor himself.

The Rock Dragon King who once held the "Ancient Dragon Power" and the ancestor of all rock elements.

Why did it become what it is now?
This rock-type young dragon seems to have no intelligence yet.

It’s really hard to imagine what happened to make it become like this?
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

Morax took a deep breath and looked up into the sky.

"Do you know that the power of the seven rulers of the mortal world originally came from the seven ancient elemental dragon kings?"

After a pause, Zhongli continued:

"It is said that there were no traces of humans on the ancient continent of Teyvat. The indigenous people of this land are the dragon lizards we often see."

"It was not until the appearance of the First Adventer Phanes that the world's pattern was changed. He used his supreme power to fight the dragon lizards and banished them to the dark underground world!"

"Then, he created humans and made them the masters of the continent of Teyvat."

"He used his supreme power to force all the demons to sign a contract that said 'Gods love the world'. From then on, all the demons were bound by this contract, without exception!"

"And in the end, he personally cut off the 'Ancient Dragon Power' of the seven elemental ancient dragon kings, and handed this power to the seven most powerful demon gods."

"With the blessing of 'authority', the seven demon gods quickly established their own territories and had no rivals! These are the Seven Rulers of the Earthly World, also known as the Seven Gods..."

Speaking of which.

Morax lowered his head and fixed his gaze on the young rock dragon. He reached out and touched the dragon's head.

The young dragon waved its short legs and gently scraped Morax's palm. Even though it had lost all its memories, it still showed friendliness to Morax.

Morax was silent for a moment, then continued:
“This time, Teyvat encountered an unprecedented crisis. The third adventer, under the name of ‘Nidhoggr’, returned with Nibelungen, the ‘Land of Despair and Death’ in the abyss.”

"It is said that the continent of Teyvat was originally a dark and endless black ocean called 'Abyss'."

"The Sky Island hangs high in the sky, and two gods fight for power!"

"Finally, the first adventer, Phanes, killed the third adventer, the Black Dragon King!"

"The body of the Black Dragon King fell into the black abyss. As the elements reunited, it transformed into seven giant dragons. These seven dragons are none other than the seven ancient elemental dragon kings!"

"And the remains of the Black Dragon King were split into seven parts by Phanes, becoming seven divine hearts!"

"Then, Phanes fell into a deep sleep, and the continent of Teyvat entered an era of dragon lizard rule..."

"But the Black Dragon King did not die just like that!"

"His blood polluted the entire sea. Since it still had consciousness, in order to avoid the sight of Phanes, it took the initiative to sink the filthy blood into the ground. And this blood created taboos and the abyss!"

"The abyss is filthy and breeds countless monsters!"

"And the origin of the abyss is also where the dead black dragon king resides. And that place is called 'Nibelungen', which means the land of fog and the land of death."

"Having lost his physical body, the Black Dragon King has become a sentient being. He lingers in the Nibelungen, constantly gnawing at the roots of the World Tree."

"Because of this, all the creatures that were contaminated by the 'forbidden knowledge' eventually met with an ominous fate and did not have a good end."

"When the World Tree falls, it will also mean that Phanes' authority to suppress the Black Dragon King will be broken!"

"The Nibelungen has returned to the world, and the Black Dragon King has returned as 'Nidhoggr'!"

"It has returned for revenge! Whether it is the seven ancient elemental dragon kings or the seven rulers of the mortal world, they are all usurping traitors in its eyes."

"Only by annihilating them all and allowing the 'Ancient Dragon Power' and the 'Heart of God' to converge, can the power of the Black Dragon King 'Nidhogg' be fully restored."

"Its ultimate goal is to launch a war of revenge against Phanes!"

"At this moment, Phanes is still sleeping."

"The seven rulers of the mortal world and the seven ancient dragon kings of the elements have united to prevent it from coming."

"But we are being defeated by the waves of the abyss..."

"Zhongli, who should have put down his burdens and become an ordinary person, eventually put on his armor and fought with all his might against the invasion of the abyss."

"The strength I have left is not enough to resist this crisis..."

"At the most critical moment, I heard Ruo Tuo calling my name faintly under the Fulong tree..."

"It had fallen into madness, but now it has calmed down." "It told me that there is only one way to resolve Liyue's crisis—"

Speaking of this.

Morax's figure began to tremble slightly.

"Rotha roared at me, saying that he hated me and all of us!"

"Even so, he still hoped... that I could protect Liyue and keep her alive."

“After all, he was the one who gave Liyue its name when it was first established.”

"And the solution to the crisis is——"

"He sacrificed himself and handed over the complete 'Power of the Ancient Dragon' to me!"

"Only in this way can we fight!"

"There was no hesitation. It was right in front of me, sacrificing itself completely."

"And I have obtained the complete 'Ancient Dragon Power'!"

"Because the Elemental Ancient Dragon King is the original elemental creation."

“Even if its spirit and body are destroyed, it will not die completely.”

"They will be reborn and return to their original form."

At this moment.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the rock-type baby dragon in Ganyu's arms.

Being stared at by so many people, it seemed a little shy. It raised its short legs and covered its eyes.

"That……"

Xiao thought for a moment and said seriously:
"Emperor, what are you going to do next? I want to stay by your side and go back to continue fighting!"

Speaking of this, Xiao became a little excited.

Even the furious and crazy Lord Rudra could do this for the continuation of Liyue Harbor.

As a guardian yaksha, what reason do I have to retreat?
Seeing Xiao’s earnest look, Morax reached out and gently patted Xiao’s head.

"Rather than continuing to fight, there are two more important things I would like to entrust you with."

Xiao nodded vigorously and clasped his hands together.

"I will never refuse the Emperor's trust, even if I die!"

Morax shook his head helplessly and said calmly:

"It's not that serious..."

"The first thing is that the domain gate is now stable, and we can transport large numbers of people from all countries in Teyvat here."

"But this is a different world unknown to all of us."

"I need someone who can represent Liyue and negotiate with the rulers of this world to give our people an area to live in."

"I would like to entrust you to be the representative of Liyue."

"As for the second thing..."

"As I said above, each of the seven nations of Teyvat sent a representative to facilitate this matter."

"According to Buyer's request, the domain gate will be opened again in a month, and 20,000 people from Xumi will be transported here."

“So, Buyer hopes to inform the Xumi representative about this matter.”

"His name seems to be 'Amao'."

"Since this is the first teleportation, the domain gate is unstable, so everyone is teleported to a random area."

"You need to find that 'Amao' within a month and let him take charge of the people of Xumi City."
