Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 47 Stolen Authority

"No! Impossible! The gods have already ascended to heaven and are no longer in this world. The legend cannot be true!" Luo Ying seemed to be caught in some terrible conjecture. He shook his head and muttered to himself.

Qiu Ci originally thought he could get something out of the other party, so he planned to reveal his identity, but he didn't expect the other party to react like this. He didn't want to ask more questions for a moment and walked straight into the hall.

"Stop!" Unexpectedly, Luo Ying suddenly stopped him loudly, saying excitedly, "This is still the main hall of our Immortal Alliance, where our ancestors rest. No matter who you are, you are not allowed to trespass!"

"Then I really want to go in." Qiu Ci glanced at the others on the ground. Sure enough, they couldn't hide their nervousness. He immediately confirmed his thoughts. "I don't know if it's your ancestors in there, or if there's something else. I have to see it first to find out."

"You..." Their faces changed at the same time. It was obvious that they didn't want her to go in. Even Qi Hong and others noticed that something was wrong.

So, he walked in without hesitation, but found that it was empty except for a few chairs. It looked like just an ordinary meeting hall.

Isn't there a hidden space here?
Qiu Ci looked around but didn't find anything special. Instead, the people from the Immortal Alliance outside breathed a sigh of relief. Luo Ying looked as if he had just realized something. He glared at Qi Hong and said, "You, the Xuantian Sect, are quite calculating. You're all borrowing things from the Gods, so why come up with such a ridiculous excuse and even invent a God Clan? I guess you've also gained a lot of ancient benefits from that forbidden land?"

Qi Hong was confused: "..." What is he talking about? Why can't I understand?

"Admit it!" Luo Ying looked as if he could see through them. He continued, "In fact, the Immortal Alliance and Xuantian Sect could have both won. There's no need for such a fierce competition. As long as you tell me what kind of immortal artifact you got from that forbidden area, we're willing to cooperate."

"What do you mean, Alliance Leader Luo?" Qi Hong really didn't understand.

Luo Ying, however, thought the other party was interested and continued to make conditions, "Although your immortal weapons are powerful and can reverse the control of our Heavenly Puppet, compared to the number of immortal weapons, our Immortal Alliance has accumulated a lot more over thousands of years and has a better understanding of them. If you agree to stop here today, we are willing to hand over the method of controlling immortal weapons to you. How about it?"

“…”Okay, I totally don’t understand.

"Is the method you mentioned the thing you hid in the hidden space here?" Qiu Ci pointed to the ground in the hall and suddenly said.

"How do you know?!" Luo Ying was shocked and his face turned pale again.

"Then I want to see how you guys control the immortal weapon?" And how did you steal the authority? Qiu Ci directly ordered in his mind, "System, open the hidden space here."

[Okay, Master! Analyzing the space... Analysis complete! Master, the system requires a psychic machine to assist in opening the space. Is that ok?]

"Okay!" Qiu Ci nodded.

The next moment, the standby psychic robot closest to the hall instantly turned into a large black smoke-like form and flew in, then spread out into spiral circles in the hall. Then the entire ground suddenly lit up with light, and countless magic symbols flew up. The already rich spiritual energy around it suddenly became even more abundant, and there was a tendency for it to turn into substance.

The circles of psionic machines in the center began to rotate like a key in the middle of the magic circle, and then with a click...

The space in front of him suddenly twisted, and then suddenly tore open, revealing a door-shaped gap.

"This is...Young Master!" The monkey that had been following behind him sensed a familiar breath and rushed in without hesitation.

Qiu Ci slowed down a step and was about to go in.

But then I heard a shrill roar coming from inside.

"Young Master!" Qiu Ci's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad premonition. He hurriedly stepped into that space, but the next moment he was shocked by the scene in front of him, and boundless anger suddenly emerged.

The entire space was filled with countless magic arrays. At a glance, one could tell that they were all sealing, suppressing, and binding arrays. In the middle of the array, a huge egg was being bound.

The entire egg was golden in color, emitting a spiritual energy so rich that it had condensed into substance. There were even spiritual stones falling from underneath, just like... a spiritual vein.

wrong!

That is the spiritual vein!
The entire eggshell was made up of a broken spiritual vein, and a huge creature was curled up in the middle of the egg.

That is a dragon, a green dragon!
It was much smaller than the one Qiu Ci had seen in the video, and it was obviously in poor condition. Its scales had no luster at all, and were even gray, as if they would fall off if poked.

What was even more shocking was that its body was wrapped in unclear array threads, which were embedded in the flesh and blood, tightly wrapped around the dragon's body, and even wriggling like a living thing. Bright red blood was drawn drop by drop along the threads into the array below.

roar~~~~
The beast roared furiously, opening its mouth to tear frantically at the threads that bound Azure Dragon. However, it was only a spirit, and with the damage from the previous battle, it couldn't bite through the threads. Yet, it didn't stop. Seeing it couldn't bite through, it glowed white again, intending to use its last bit of spirit power to enlarge its spirit and rescue Azure Dragon.

"You're going to die!" Qiu Ci was startled, but when he came to his senses, he immediately ordered, "System, destroy these magic arrays."

The next moment, the psychic machines that turned into black mist rushed towards the layers of formations. In a blink of an eye, all the formations that spread across the space darkened, and the formation threads disappeared.

The little green dragon in the sky fell down.

roar~~~
The monkey immediately floated over and caught the little blue dragon. Its soul, already trembling and on the verge of disintegrating, began to dissipate unsteadily, tears streaming down its face. "Young Master... Young Master! Wuuuuuu... How could this happen? Master Lan Xing... Please save our young master."

"Let me take a look first, don't worry." Qiu Ci walked over quickly, then looked at the people who followed in and said, "Master, please help the soul of the monkey to stabilize."

"Oh... okay, okay!" Qi Hong and others nodded repeatedly, obviously shocked by the scene just now.

It turns out there really are dragons in this world, and... they are imprisoned in a place like this by the Immortal Alliance.

"System, check Xiao Qinglong's body." Qiu Ci said in his mind while detecting Xiao Qinglong's breath.

【Good master! 】

The small ball of light instantly flew towards Qinglong's body, and the next moment it turned into a yellow light curtain that enveloped the blood-stained Qinglong in front of it. The warm yellow light hit Qinglong's body, and the scars caused by the array silk began to heal slowly, but the little Qinglong remained motionless, with no sign of waking up at all.

[Ding, test completed. Target is a juvenile. Damage level: 71%, repair in progress. Brain waves... eh!] The system paused mid-sentence, then said in shock, [Master, master, this Azure Dragon has no conscious fluctuations.]

"What?!" Qiu Ci was also shocked. If there were no fluctuations in consciousness, then it must be dead. "How is this possible? It's clearly still alive. How could it be..."

Suddenly he thought of something, made up a mantra, and pointed to the faucet.

The next moment he pulled it back abruptly, his eyes widening in shock.

"Little Green Dragon... doesn't have a soul?!"
