The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

　But she is not that kind of dragon. She is a dragon, but also a human.

　What would happen if this cycle of hatred continued incessantly? Today, she killed the Black Dragon Society, killing innocent humans. Tomorrow, those humans would come to slay the dragons and kill her. If she had descendants, they would seek revenge on humans, and the cycle would continue inextricably.

　The chain of hatred continues one link after another until one side is completely destroyed.

　She then thought, what's so strange about this cycle of reincarnation? How much hatred has been born in the course of civilization? Isn't it common to eradicate it completely?

　Does it seem a bit naive to think about these things?

　Trying to break these would seem a bit presumptuous, wouldn't it?

　""

　Amidst her chaotic thoughts, Vivian noticed that the pale thing in front of her had stopped.

　She raised her head and saw two huge figures standing in the vast snow and wind, with ice-blue flames burning in the snow and wind, like two pale blue stars.

　They were two huge pale creatures, about ten meters tall, with ice-blue vertical pupils on their faces burning with terrifying icy flames.

　Judging from their surging aura, Vivian estimated that they were all at the level of high-ranking demigods, and even faintly touched the threshold of angels.

　She couldn't help but stick out her tongue: No wonder the Jiedushi hasn't taken away the things on the top of Junshan Mountain for so many years. Can they defeat these pale things?

　""

　Two huge pale creatures lowered their heads and stared at Vivian, who looked like a small animal in their eyes.

　Then, as Vivian watched in astonishment, they slowly bent down...to one knee.

　And the pale things that had led Vivian here also knelt down, like stone statues welcoming the king at the palace gate.

　""

　Vivian opened her mouth and for a moment marveled at her own appearance.

　Good guy... What a good guy...

　This scene...isn't it a bit too exaggerated?

　Thinking of this, Vivian swallowed her saliva, then took a cautious step and walked through those pale things.

　Step by step, I walked towards the broken arch on the top of the mountain and felt my heart beating faster and faster.

　Something was waiting for her there.

Chapter 441 Looking

　Scales (Part 11) -4k- (Double Update in One)

　As she passed through the huge archway, Vivian felt her heart stop for a moment, as if something was burning in her heart.

　This feeling was fleeting, and when she came to her senses, she was already standing on the top of Junshan Mountain.

　The first thing that caught the eye was the huge dragon skeleton - it was a giant dragon, its head lying on the top of the mountain, its empty eye sockets hidden behind the vast wind and snow, lifeless and deep.

　His body was crawling along the mountain range, stretching out for hundreds of meters in width. Most of his bones were buried in the snow, almost merging with the mountain range.

　The Ice Dragon Emperor, Yan Xia’s former Dragon King and the ancestor of the Ice Dragon family.

　When she saw the skeleton of the Dragon King, Vivian felt her heart tremble violently, as if something was about to burst out.

　She walked slowly forward, approaching the Dragon Emperor's skeleton step by step.

　""

　A biting cold wind blew across the Junshan Mountains, but it did not stop Vivian's steps as before. The emperor's skeleton blocked the surging cold wind, allowing the girl who trekked here to move forward without any difficulty.

　As she got closer and closer to the skeleton, Vivian felt sadness welling up in her heart.

　That was her ancestor, who died on the top of the mountain, murdered by humans.

　After so many years, the ice dragon family he protected could not escape the clutches of the enemy and was almost completely slaughtered by humans.

　Now, she and Poerseth have become the last descendants of the ice dragon family, and Poerseth's life or death is currently unknown, leaving her alone to walk in the secular wind and snow.

　Thinking of this, Vivian felt her eyes getting hot, a heat that even the blizzard couldn't dispel.

　""

　Soon, Vivian arrived at the center of the square and stared directly at the emperor's skeleton right in front of her.

　She reached out her hand, pinched a touch of ice blue, brought it to her lips, and murmured softly:

　"Emperor, I have come to see you."

　Along with her whispers, a surge of spiritual pressure surged from below the space, quickly creating a series of spatial ripples in the real world.

　At the same time, two clusters of ice-blue flames ignited in the Ice Dragon Emperor's empty eye sockets, and he looked directly at Vivian as if he had intelligence.

　The moment she looked into the ice-blue dragon fire, Vivian felt the world before her gradually dissipate in the inky blackness. Her vision was obscured inch by inch by the darkness, and was finally completely swallowed up.

　Vivian was suddenly engulfed in darkness, but she did not feel uneasy at all. On the contrary, a sense of calmness and security gradually surged in her heart.

　She could feel the cold seeping into her skin inch by inch, but it didn't make her panic.

　She is an ice dragon, and ice dragons belong to Blizzard.

　""

　In the center of the vortex of spiritual power flowing like a blizzard, a pale blue shadow gradually gathered.

　Three thousand strands of pure white hair cascaded down, trailing on the ground like a magnificent waterfall. With his back to Vivian, his form was slightly blurry, yet he exuded an undeniable power.

　Under Vivian's gaze, the figure slowly turned around, revealing a handsome and resolute young face.

　"The descendant of the Ice Dragon family has come here again," he chuckled. "Vivian Xia, right?"

　"You are... the Ice Dragon Emperor?"

　Vivian looked at the young man in front of her in surprise, feeling a little unreal for a moment.

　She had imagined what this emperor would look like, either majestic or fierce, but she had never imagined that he was such a handsome young man.

　Seeing Vivian's expression, the emperor smiled faintly:

　"I'm not a martial artist, so this might surprise you."

　"It's really you..." Vivian murmured softly, "The younger generation has seen the emperor!"

　She was just thinking about whether to bow or something, but the Ice Dragon Emperor waved his hand slightly:

　"No need to salute. If you've arrived here, it means the Skeleton Gate should have risen, right?"

　"Indeed," Vivian nodded. "The Dragon Lord is dead, and the Skeleton Gate has risen."

　Upon hearing the news that the Dragon Lord was dead, a trace of trance flashed in the Ice Dragon Emperor's eyes.

　He looked at Vivian, chuckled and shook his head:

　"I can't believe... that old guy has also passed away after so many years..."

　"Are you... familiar with Him?" Vivian asked.

　"I'm familiar with him, but I'm the only one who knows him. He might not know me," the Ice Dragon Emperor shook his head slightly. "However, if I hadn't borrowed the Nine Sons' power from him, Yanxia might have been ruled by Flame Lord by now."

　"You protected Yan Xia, but those people betrayed you," Weiweian whispered, "They... massacred the entire Ice Dragon family..."

　"I already know," the Ice Dragon Emperor sighed softly, "That boy...your brother, he has come to see me."

　"Persess has come to see you?" Vivian was startled. "Does that mean..."

　"No, he didn't take my reverse scale. He simply explained everything to me and then left." The Ice Dragon Emperor smiled slightly. "He said... he wanted to leave this treasure to his sister, Vivian Xia."

　The Ice Dragon Emperor's tone was calm, but his words were like a violent storm, stirring up huge waves in Vivian's heart.

　So this is how Poerses knew there was a method to retrieve the Ni Scale at the summit of Junshan Mountain. He had already climbed the peak himself and met with the legendary emperor...

　Yes... He knew that climbing Junshan Mountain would not be dangerous for the Ice Dragon, so he sent Vivian to go - he had already personally explored the route.

　The.

　"When the Ice Dragon family fell, the seal to this space was lifted," the Ice Dragon Emperor paced in the darkness. "I warned those humans that if my bloodline was poisoned, divine punishment would come. I can accept my reputation being destroyed, and I can accept my empire passing into other hands, but I hope that my descendants can live on this land that I exchanged my life for."

　"When your brother awakened me from the darkness, I learned what had happened in the outside world. Although all this was within my expectations, I still felt... chilled."

　The Ice Dragon Emperor shook his head, looked up at the dumbstruck Vivian, and murmured softly:

　"You must have lived among humans for a long time, right? I don't sense any murderous aura from you. You're not crazy enough, nor are you...dragon enough."

　As he spoke, his expression softened considerably:

　"No wonder your brother chose to use his madness to temper his reverse scales... and leave my final legacy to you. You are not suited to the path of a dragon..."

　He used his madness to temper his reverse scales and left the emperor's legacy to Vivian.

　Each of these words was like a needle piercing Vivian's heart, causing her hands to tremble slightly.

　She recalled her cold and wary attitude towards Poerseth during their brief time together. Although Poerseth never seemed to care, those actions made Vivian feel a faint bitterness rising in her throat.

　The young boy took all the blame. He was such a kind dragon, but he became bloodthirsty because of his madness in tempering his reverse scales.

　Did he really not feel any pain when he killed those innocent people? But that was the only way. He had to fall into the Shura Path to ensure that his reverse scales were tempered strong enough.

　Then, he could take revenge on those who slaughtered the Ice Dragon family.

　He had all the blood on his hands, even though this was the common mission of the descendants of the Ice Dragon family.

　"Fool..."

　Vivian clenched her fists slightly, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.

　After calming down, she raised her head and looked at the emperor in front of her:

　"Can you give me your inheritance?" Vivian whispered, "I have someone I want to protect."

　"Are you going to protect humans or dragons?" The Ice Dragon Emperor smiled.

　"Humans...and dragons..." Vivian whispered.

　Vivian was not afraid that such a question would cause the Ice Dragon Emperor to refuse to give her the inheritance, because she did not want to go against her own heart.

　She had already figured out her identity: she was a descendant of the Ice Dragon family and a member of the Citadel, definitely not one of them.

　She wants to protect everyone she wants to protect, instead of allowing herself to be swept up in the wheels of hatred.

　After all, Perses bore all the sins alone...Isn't it because he hoped that she could have the position she has now?

　""

　Facing Vivian's answer, the Ice Dragon Emperor still maintained a faint smile on his face.

　He nodded slightly and whispered:

　"As expected of a descendant of the Ice Dragon family... Yes, then go and protect the people and dragons you love..."

　Such a tone surprised Vivian: she thought the Ice Dragon Emperor had a strong hatred for humans. After all, the Black Dragon Society slaughtered the entire Ice Dragon family. The emperor would show some dissatisfaction with Vivian's choice of "protecting both humans and dragons".

　But He seemed to agree with Vivian's answer...

　"You... don't hate them?" Vivian said softly.

　Hearing this, the Ice Dragon Emperor said softly:

　"No, Vivian Xia, don't get me wrong. Even though I've fallen to this point, I've never hated humans."

　"But... why?"

　"Why?" The Ice Dragon Emperor smiled faintly. "Did humans really cause the Ice Dragon family to fall to this point? If it weren't for the Nine Sons' help, even if all the people of Yanxia joined together, they wouldn't be able to defeat me when I lost control. Perhaps this place would have become the second Mortiheim."

　"But was it the Nine Sons' betrayal that led to the current situation? If it weren't for the Black Dragon Society's ambitions, the Nine Sons would be nothing more than nine clean pawns. Their greed requires a physical entity to manifest, and the Black Dragon Society is that entity."

　"What has truly brought us to this point is desire, ambition, and greed. These are the very elements that sustain life, but they are also the sins that cause it to wither."

　"Our birth and death are all just natural cycles, flows, and..."

　"...destiny."

　"But fate has brought you here, which means the Ice Dragon family's survival has not yet ended." The Ice Dragon Emperor's smile grew even kinder. "So... continue to follow the current."

　He raised his hand, and an ice-blue scale flashed out, with a terrifying white light like a blizzard hidden inside.

　"The moment I fell, the unknown fog swallowed me and also devoured the Ice Dragon family's reverse scale, preventing most of the clan from appearing as dragons." The Ice Dragon Emperor held up the scale, his icy blue vertical pupils glittering. "Those stripped scales...all gathered here, serving as a sealed power."

　"This is the Supreme Scale, formed from 3,513,000 reverse scales of the Ice Dragon family. It also contains my remaining transcendent essence. It is enough for you to ascend to the Dragon King, and once you fully control the transcendent essence within, you can become an angel."

　"If one cannot control such a powerful force, he will fall into Shura.

　If you follow the way, you will become a demon driven by madness and slaughter, but if you control it, you will be elevated to a being that looks down upon all living things."
