Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

"What...happened?"

"Father?"

The silver-gold-haired princess looked at the strange and complicated expressions on the faces of the people in front of her, and asked softly with some uncertainty.

And now, deep within Highgarden, in the royal palace of the Valyrian Empire, Princess Jahenira Targaryen sits other members of the royal family.

They are her father, Immon Targaryen I, the second emperor of the Empire, the "Master of the Scrolls"; her elder sister, Princess Leila Targaryen; her sister-in-law, Brenda Stark; and the baby in her arms, her nephew Immon.

It wasn't just Jhenira rubbing her head; everyone present felt the same way, but remained silent out of caution.

But when they heard Jhenira speak their minds, everyone present rubbed their temples, then looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"What...just happened?"

The first to speak was the old emperor of the empire, Immon Targaryen. He had been lying in bed recovering from his injuries, but at this moment he sat up and leaned against the headboard, speaking in a low voice.

"It seems like we were just having a conversation."

Yin Meng's mind was in a complete mess at this moment, and his memories seemed to be severely confused and distorted. However, once he thought about it carefully, he would have a splitting headache.

Fortunately, the old emperor's will was strong enough that he eventually remembered some of the memories of Mohu.

In his memory... everyone was sitting together, seemingly discussing something, which seemed to be a disaster.

Then he seemed to see wildly surging black branches spreading in from outside the window, tightly binding his body. Then a strong tearing sensation came over him, making it impossible for him to continue recalling the dream, and the dream ended.

"We were all dreaming?"

"Was this a dream, or did we actually witness something?"

"And then in the process... a flood struck us?"

The old emperor of the empire spoke in a trembling voice. He had been wounded not long ago while personally participating in the war to hunt down the gods, and his injuries had not yet healed.

With his immortal physique, he could have easily ruled for several hundred more years, but this serious injury and the loss of his beloved wife have dealt a heavy blow to Yin Meng.

He had even begun to intentionally hand over power to his son, Viserys the Younger, paving the way for his eventual abdication.

Although Yin Meng was seriously injured and still recovering, his accumulated experience and keen observation skills remained undiminished.

Instead, he astutely used the subtle clues in his memory to find some crucial leads.

Yin Meng was indeed not as intelligent as his older brother Heros, but Yin Meng was good at learning and accumulating knowledge; diligence could make up for lack of talent…

Upon hearing their fathers' and fathers-in-law's words, all the Targaryen royal ladies present were slightly taken aback, then lowered their heads and looked down at their feet.

It was only then that they noticed the marble floor beneath their feet was completely damp, as if it had been submerged in water not long ago, and there was a salty, astringent smell in the air, like seawater.

The palace in Highgarden was heavily guarded, and as the royal family's private garden, it was the most prestigious palace in the imperial system. It was impossible for the palace servants to make such a mistake.

Moreover, Gaoting is thousands of miles from the coast. Even if you travel west by boat from the Mandeb River, it would take more than a day or two to make a round trip. How could they possibly have moved seawater here?

"My father said there was a great flood here before?"

"But...how is this possible?"

Princess Jehnera looked at the wet floor beneath her feet and at her clothes and shoes, which were completely dry, and spoke in disbelief.

"How could a massive flood have occurred while we were talking?"

"That's too fast! Where did the water go?"

"And most importantly..."

Jhenira pointed to the hem of her skirt.

"If a major flood had really happened, we should have been swept away by the waves long ago. How could we still be sitting here?"

Princess Jahenella Targaryen's point of view is very correct, directly addressing several issues that cannot be explained.

However, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment, because although they did not speak, they all sensed something was amiss.

They must have indeed slept a long sleep, and if they all had the same dream, then it shouldn't be a dream, but rather something they actually witnessed.

However, their memories and state now seem to have been affected by something else. A mastermind behind the scenes wants to do something, but because it was too hasty, it is full of holes and ultimately full of loopholes, arousing suspicion.

In fact, everyone present except for Princess Jahnilla Targaryen was a perceptive person, and they all noticed the unusual situation.

This was especially true after the old emperor pointed out the water accumulation on the ground, and the same situation occurred outside.

All the land had become soft, damp, and muddy, and the air reeked of the sea. Now, the guards of Highgarden were whispering among themselves, pointing at the sky and the ground, discussing what had just happened.

"My head hurts a little."

Why is the ground so wet?

"Did it just rain?"

However, their memories were brief, lacking the terrifying talent of the Targaryen royal dragondreams. They merely felt as if they had momentarily lost focus, and nothing much changed.

The traces of a great flood are hard to erase. People living near the former Mole Village looked at the empty sky to the north and scratched their heads, feeling as if something was missing.

Shouldn't there be a wall there?

A wall that leads all the way to the sky?

The audacious idea that popped into my head was followed by me slapping myself twice.

"Look what we're thinking!"

However, this world is not only populated by ordinary people; people all over the world have noticed the anomaly and become suspicious, believing that a great flood had occurred.

They didn't want people to continue living in a daze in the unknown, so they compiled their fragmented memories of the lake and their fantasies about the Great Flood into a book to record it forever.

At the same time, in every corner of the world.

Chapter 1158 Rebuilding Our Home

It's as if time has reversed, and the world has returned to the past, but some traces of what once happened are hard to erase.

For example, a global flood, the Great Wall of Despair destroyed by the Old Gods, and the traces of the gods' battle in the depths of the vast, endless sea... and so on.

Has time reversed?

These subtle clues were recorded by observant people, who discovered that something might have happened in this world, but for some reason, no one remembered it.

However, these people did not give up. Instead, they joined forces to explore the secret, hoping to one day unravel the mystery and uncover the hidden truth.

Therefore, the information presented in this recorded history is very fragmented and polarized, but what they have in common is that they all recorded that a great flood once occurred in various parts of the world.

The Valyrian Empire's account recounts how Crown Prince Viserys Targaryen, in place of his ailing father, the late Emperor Immun, personally oversaw the disaster relief efforts, leading the Imperial Legion to combat the floods across the land and ultimately saving the world and achieving final victory.

In the most unsettled province on the empire's frontier, Giscali, a legend tells of a great flood that was a harpy's wrath punishing humanity.

As for the dividing line between East and West, in the ancient empire of the Golden Empire east of the Bone Mountains, there is a similar story to that of Viserys Targaryen, the crown prince of the Western Empire. They are largely the same, and it is about a saint who was born and led the people to control the floods and win the victory.

Besides these stories about the Great Flood, the world's belief systems have also undergone a silent transformation.

People seem to have forgotten the old gods, the new gods, and the gods like Rahul the Lord of Light, as if they had never appeared in history.

Instead, brand new statues of gods were erected, and a completely new belief system was established.

...

"Father."

The empire's capital, King's Landing, was destroyed by the gods and is still being rebuilt, while the legendary human emperor Immun Targaryen I, living as the "Godslayer" and "Master of the Scrolls," is currently in the sanctuary in the back gardens of Highgarden.

The statues of the seven gods are no longer displayed in this sanctuary; instead, a statue of Viserys is placed there.

His face was indistinct, and he gently stroked his mount, "Black Death" Bellerion, on his left. He was hailed as the next "King of the Gods".

On either side of Viserys stood his two children, Diana Targaryen, the goddess of the moon, and Herod the sun god.

People's memories of the past have become hazy, but they remember the names of the three chief gods deeply. The Targaryen royal family of the empire is known as the "descendants of the gods" because they share the same surname as the gods.

However, everyone's memories of the past have become blurred, including his son and daughter, but Yin Meng gradually recalls the true memories that have been altered and buried.

If he remembers correctly...

They should already be dead.

In the apocalyptic catastrophe, raging black branches smashed through the palace windows and spread unchecked. He watched as the branches pierced through the chest of his eldest daughter, Leila, and strangled the fleeing Jehnella right before his eyes.

His daughter-in-law, Brenda Stark, tried desperately to hide her son in her arms, but the branches still managed to find him; they didn't even spare the infant in his swaddling clothes.

At that moment, Yin Meng was furious but to no avail. He was also entangled by the branches, and then the sharp branches were raised high, like a venomous snake ready to pounce on its prey. The next second, they pierced his skull.

After that, Yin Meng's memory was fragmented until he opened his eyes again, when they seemed to have returned to the past, before the disaster broke out.

However, this time, the disasters that swept across the world and rapidly engulfed the entire empire seemed to have vanished into thin air, as if they had never happened at all.

But almost everyone forgot about the disaster and many memories of what happened before it happened, while Yin Meng slowly remembered them all.

"Seven Gods, Old Gods, Drowned Gods..."

Why did it turn out like this?

"Father."

Now, Yin Meng kneels in the sacred hall of Gaoting, praying silently in his heart.

He faced the statue of his father, the King of Gods, and his older brothers and sisters, who now respectively governed the sun and the moon, light and darkness, and fire and ice.

He didn't know exactly what had happened, but he assumed that he, Leila, and Jhenira must have all died, and that his father and his older brother and sister must have been the ones who saved them.

They saved his life, his son, daughter, daughter-in-law, and grandson, and even the whole world.

"I want to see you all..."

Then, kneeling before the statue, Yin Meng silently prayed, reciting the names of his father, sister, and brother.

However, at that moment, a golden beam of light pierced through the dome of the Highgarden Cathedral and shone on the kneeling person before disappearing without a trace.

...

The death of Immun Targaryen I, the second emperor of the empire and known as the "Master of the Scrolls," became the most important event in the entire world, enough to cause a "major earthquake" in the empire's political arena.

However, the Targaryen family, as the imperial family, handled the situation very well. Crown Prince Viserys Targaryen returned from King's Landing to Highgarden immediately to deal with his father's funeral arrangements and stabilize the situation across the country.

Subsequently, with the support of his wife's family, the Starks, and many other families loyal to the royal family, Viserys Targaryen was officially crowned as the third emperor of the empire, Viserys Targaryen II.

After the coronation of Viserys II, the third emperor of the empire, his primary task was to rebuild King's Landing according to the original blueprints, with appropriate modifications.

However, Viserys II, known for his filial piety, also erected a statue of his father, Immon, in King's Landing. The colossal statue of Immon Targaryen I stands tall in the plaza below the Red Keep.
