Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1004 The Ancestral Dragon's Fake Death, A Battle of Titans!
[The Master of Nourishing Life].

An unprecedented stillness swept over, obscuring the old dragon king's entire vision. The figure of the Taoist in black robes disappeared into the darkness, with only his lingering voice echoing in the air.

"Release your consciousness, do not resist."

The old dragon king readily accepted good advice.

At the same time, while concealing himself, Lü Yang opened the panel of the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] and looked at the Old Dragon Lord with colorful light in his eyes.

【Colorful Talent: An Observer Outside the Play】!
With the completion of the [drama] targeting Mu Changsheng, this talent has received considerable feedback, and its already considerable power has been further enhanced.

This is Lü Yang's insurance.

Of course, he couldn't possibly assume that the Old Dragon Lord had completely submitted to him just because the Old Dragon Lord called him "father" a few times and "master" once.

This kind of old fox is best at changing his tune depending on the wind. Right now, his life and death are in his hands, which is why he seems so obedient and compliant. But once he leaves the Lord of Nourishing Life, there will inevitably be unexpected changes. So the best way is to completely control the life and death of the old dragon king.

Only in this way can he feel at ease helping me with my tasks.

Moreover, since the Old Dragon Lord is being watched by all the Dao Lords, if anything is exposed, he can silence him in time to ensure that the Dao Lords will not find out.

And the best method is to be an "outside observer".

'After the upgrade, the effect of this talent also changed; in addition to the increased strength of [Theater], the number of observable targets unexpectedly increased.'

Originally, only one person could be observed.

The number of plays that can be set is also very limited. They must be "possible" and the possibility cannot be too low, otherwise they will be difficult to realize.

But things are different now.

'Now, the [Outside Observer] can not only observe two people simultaneously, but the [play] can also influence events with even lower probability.'

As long as we continue to grow, given time, we may be able to contend with destiny.

Thinking about this, Lü Yang felt a little excited, but compared to the [play], he needed the other effect of the [observer outside the play] even more now.

[Outside Observer: Select a "character in the play," activate your observation perspective, and by observing them, you can elevate their cause and effect, destiny, and fate, and assign them a "play." Upon ending the observation, the character disappears without cause or effect, leaving absolutely no trace.]

Once the observation ends, the characters in the story will disappear.

Without cause or effect, leaving no trace, it can be considered the most perfect method of silencing witnesses. Unfortunately, there is a limit to the number of people that can be observed, so it cannot be used indiscriminately.

Gathering his thoughts, Lü Yang held his breath and concentrated.

The next second, the iridescent light in his eyes intensified, and then Shul opened his eyes as if a second pair of iridescent eyes had opened within his pupils.

The figure of the old dragon king was thus reflected in the rainbow light.

"hiss!"

In an instant, the old dragon king gasped, feeling a strong sense of crisis sweep over his entire body, but after a careful examination, he could not find any clues.

'What kind of tactic is this?!'

Looking at Lü Yang, he quickly saw the iridescent light in Lü Yang's eyes, and a chill ran down his spine: 'What did he do? Did he place some kind of restriction on me?'

The feeling of unease lasted only a moment.

This old dragon was indeed determined. Its thoughts raced, and it immediately suppressed all its ideas. Its eyes were as cold and hard as iron. Now, there was no turning back.
The only option is to go all the way to the darkest point!

At the same time, his judgment of Lü Yang's identity gradually took shape:

'It shouldn't be the true form of the First Emperor.'

'Is it a lingering regret? Something like a distraction might be a contingency plan left behind by the Ancestral Dragon before he was sealed away, hidden within the [Master of Nourishing Life], which only recently awakened.'

Lü Yang's "Outside-of-the-Scenes Observer" became the final straw, as this completely surpassed the level of a Great True Lord and was clearly a "superior cultivation method." With this as evidence, the Old Dragon Lord finally concluded: 'The Ancestral Dragon must have faked his death back then!'

Thinking of this, the old dragon king broke out in a cold sweat.

To be able to deceive the Holy Sect's patriarch, feign death to escape, and leave behind this fragment of spirit is simply unimaginable; it can be said to be the pinnacle of Dao Lord's strategic maneuvering.

Now, he was already caught up in it. Just then, Lü Yang spoke up.

"Ao Guang, come here."

Old Dragon King quickly and obediently moved closer to Lü Yang. Then he saw that behind Lü Yang, circles of colorful light suddenly rippled out like water.

Righteousness Banner, Tribulations, Yellow Court, Dragon-Slaying Ruler.

The four treasures, corresponding to [Heavenly Fire], [Sword-Edge Gold], [City Wall Soil], and [Great Ocean Water], are now arranged in order around Lü Yang!
"Boom!"

Under Lü Yang's deliberate influence, the Old Dragon King finally heard the heartbeat of the Ancestral Dragon, which was like a sudden enlightenment, giving him countless insights in an instant.

"Hmm! I understand!"

He was just one step away from achieving this: only by hearing the heartbeat of the Ancestral Dragon and establishing a connection with it could he seize its profound mysteries and attain the title of Dragon King!
Now, Lü Yang has made up for this step for him.

However, his gaze was more focused on the four true treasures that Lü Yang had manifested, his mouth agape and his face filled with disbelief.

'The imagery of the Four Supreme Fruits? How did he achieve that?'

'No! I guessed wrong. This person didn't just awaken; he must have existed for many years, and has been secretly plotting and scheming for a long time!'

Otherwise, it would be impossible to gather the images of the four supreme fruits!
And judging from this trend, does he intend to refine a true treasure using the imagery of a supreme being, and then attain enlightenment through emptiness? What grand ambition! Is he really just a fragmented remnant of a divine consciousness?

'It looks just like it did back then'

Thinking of this, the old dragon king became dazed.

Memories flooded back. Once upon a time, after a long journey, the First Emperor returned and excitedly told him:

"I've found the path to take this even further!"

"Si Chong, this person truly deserves to be called the greatest genius since the birth of Guanghai. He controls Yin and Yang with his Dharma Body and combines the two paths. This is the opportunity to break through the bottleneck!"

"The path to becoming a deity lies within it!"

At that time, Zu Long was overjoyed and so excited that he wanted to confide in someone.

So the old dragon king became the only listener:
"I will use the Five Elements to control the Five Heavenly Numbers!"

“I have a plan. I will extract the most symbolic parts from the Five Elements, then let them sense the Five Heavenly Numbers, and then slowly erode them.”

—The First Emperor succeeded.

At least in terms of conclusions, from the perspective of later generations, the First Emperor did indeed achieve the feat of the serpent swallowing the sky, usurping some of the celestial symbolism with the foundation of the Five Elements.

【Heavenly Fire】, the mysterious 【Inscribed Heaven Chapter】 defines the rules of heaven and earth.

【Sword's Edge Gold】, the mysterious 【Imperial Decree】 determines the future course of one's destiny.

【Great Forest Wood】, the mysterious 【obstacle of knowledge and perception】 causes people to be blinded by the aura of calamity, and to enter into calamity without realizing it.

【City Wall Soil】, mysteriously 【Holding onto the Past and Present】, altering cause and effect, creating variables out of thin air.

【Great Ocean Water】, the mysterious 【Root of Heaven and Earth】, enlightens life and destiny, and thus fate is born.

The supreme position of the Five Elements became a milestone in the success of the First Emperor, but it also became his grave, and his past glory was buried in history.

No, that's not right.

It's not buried in history, it's just hidden away, because right before his eyes, there are still people walking the path that the First Emperor deduced in the past!
He's almost there!

'The cicada sheds its shell.' The old dragon king trembled inwardly.

When did this plan begin?

The other shore was established in the year of the great war between the Dao Lords?
If that's the case, and the person in front of us is indeed the Ancestral Dragon who faked his death and escaped, then he is the biggest mastermind behind the scenes in the past 129,600 years!

　It's already past midnight, time to prepare for the trip.
