The evil dragon Lance was puzzled. He transformed into a beam of light and returned to his original form. Could the human little girl still see him?

Oh, so it didn't turn into light and return to its original form. It's still on the statue of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor. Just now, it subconsciously wanted to leave, but it only made the statue of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor turn around.

It was a mistake.

It's not his fault. It's his first time descending upon his own statue, so it's normal that he can't come and go as he pleases. After all, he's not a real god.

Reckless.

The swordsmen of the human world are too reckless. He only left behind the Four Realms of the Sword on a whim, so why are these guys worshipping him? Not only are they worshipping him, but they've also deified him. Now that I think about it, the auspicious clouds formed by the golden threads must be the power of faith. The murmurs on the golden threads are the prayers of the believers who worship the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor.

Considering the current situation, it seems that way.

We need to examine the gold threads more closely to determine the exact situation.

Belief leads to godhood.

This was a path he had never considered before; to be precise, he had no obsession with becoming a god.

If he were obsessed with becoming a god, he wouldn't have thought of letting his dragon cub inherit his legacy.

As Pure-Blooded Dragon, he could easily live for ten thousand years without any major disasters. In addition, he knew how to maintain his health, so living for ten thousand or even twenty thousand years would probably be no problem.

In this situation, whether or not he could become a god was completely unimportant to him.

Living too long can sometimes make you tired of living.

For example.

Valkyrie.

As a deity, the Valkyrie often thinks about coming to the human world to experience the joys and sorrows of life.

What does this show? It shows that even gods can get bored.

In the human world, or rather, on the continent, most powerful beings, when their lives are about to end, may hope to become gods through faith.

However, this "most powerful beings" does not include this black dragon. This black dragon has no interest whatsoever in becoming a god through faith.

A god who becomes a deity through the power of faith has limitations. It is better to rely on one's own strength to condense a divine personality and ignite Divine Fire.

Even deities are divided into different ranks.

A deity who becomes a god through the power of faith may not even have the same status as a False God under the command of a main god. The power of faith may be useful to a true god of the main god's level, but even without the power of faith, the main god remains a true god.

A god who becomes a god solely through the power of faith will gradually lose strength once that power is gone. When everyone forgets him, the god who became a god through the power of faith will also disappear.

This kind of deity might not even be as powerful as the Grim Reaper of Hell.

The Grim Reaper of Hell is a legitimate divine being.

As for the power of faith in his mind, it was not enough for him to become a god.

When I get back, I need to think about how to erase the power of faith from my mind or see if it has any other uses.

Now we need to figure out how to get back.

Has the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor manifested?

It was an illusion; the wind had blown the statue of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor around in a circle.

"Sword Ancestor, please wait!"

Ailiya was overjoyed when she saw Caroline turn away after bringing out the statue of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor.

The legendary Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor has appeared! The Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor has truly answered Caroline's prayers!

Ailiya was getting anxious. She had been reminding Caroline for ages, but the silly girl hadn't reacted at all. If this continued, the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor might be gone.

Without waiting any longer, she grabbed her staff, jogged a few steps, caught up with the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor, slid to her knees, and suddenly hugged the legs of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor statue.

"Sword Ancestor, please take us with you!"

Ailiya was both excited and scared, and her hands, which were holding the legs of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor God statue, were sweating.

The statue of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor... Flame Source Energy Mage like her really hold it? She wasn't even a follower of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor yet. But that didn't matter. Before today, she wasn't a follower of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor, but after today, she was! If she could leave the Twilight Great Canyon alive, she would accompany Caroline when Caroline prayed to the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor! And when she went on adventures in the future, she would carry the statue of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor with her, just like the clever Caroline.

Who would have thought that the legendary Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor would actually become a god?

In her mind, only by becoming a powerful deity can one respond to the prayers of believers.

The Sword Ancestor himself descended to protect her, an insignificant student from the Way of the Sword Academy!

Coming back to her senses from the Miracles of the Sword Ancestor's descent, Caroline hurriedly ran to the statue of the Sword Ancestor, knelt down on one knee, and pried apart Ailiya's hands that were clinging to the Sword Ancestor Ancestor's legs.

"Let go, let go! Don't dirty the statue of the Sword Ancestor."

"I won't let go! If I do, the statue of the Sword Ancestor will run away."

The strong and robust warrior limped to the statue of the Sword Ancestor and knelt on one knee.

Although the pharmacist applied medicine to his leg, it wouldn't heal quickly enough; the extraordinary medicine the pharmacist had prepared wasn't strong enough to heal his wound instantly.

Moreover, the wounds on his legs and arms are still being eroded by a dark force, so he needs to return to the academy as soon as possible so that his teacher can use Light Magic to purify the dark force that is eroding his wounds.

"Welcome, Sword Ancestor! Please, Sword Ancestor, save us!"

"Welcome, Sword Ancestor! Please, Sword Ancestor, save us!"

The pharmacist knelt on one knee beside the soldier and repeated the soldier's words.

Lance was examining his own statue, which had been painted and depicted him wearing a white-gold robe, holding a sword in both hands, and gazing into the distance.

He saw the three little human beings kneeling in front of the statue; the blonde girl with a high ponytail was his follower.

What does the boy with short brown hair have to do with him? He's not one of his followers.

He's currently debating whether or not to save them.

If they go back, they'll definitely spread the word about the appearance of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor.

He wouldn't save them; he'd wait for the four little ones to die. He could then have Death God Solomon of death, arrange a fast track for them, so that if they died here, they could be reborn in hell without having to wait.

Fifteen years later, they can adventure together again.

The blonde girl with a high ponytail is his follower; after reincarnation, she can become a minor noble.

With Solomon's authority as Tier Two Death God, he should be able to do it.

Oh, I almost forgot, Death God Solomon, has been transferred to the Demon Race race.

How about we reincarnate Caroline into the Demon Race?

Become a siren. Become a vampire? Vampires are aloof, making it easier for them to comprehend sword intent when practicing swordsmanship.

If one can comprehend the sword intent of blood, perhaps one can rival the Blood Clan Progenitor in the future. "Here they come. More monsters are walking towards us."

The three kneeling figures instantly stood up. Ailiya, who was holding the Lance statue with both hands, also hurriedly let go, picked up her staff, and came to Caroline and the other two.

A wind rose in the dimly lit canyon, bringing with it a dark monster wielding a broken broadsword and spear, riding Bone Beast.

The dark monster that appeared this time was wearing rusty, tattered armor.

Five Skeleton Soldier wielding broadswords and spears, and two Bone Spirit Knight riding ferocious Bone Beast.

They're doomed. If the Sword Ancestor doesn't intervene, the four of them will definitely not be able to leave the Twilight Great Canyon alive.

They couldn't even defeat Skeleton Soldier of this level, let alone the even more terrifying beings within the Twilight Great Canyon. "Five elite Skeleton Soldier and two Bone Spirit Knight, prepare to fight to the death!"

Ailiya raised her staff and began chanting a spell, illuminating the dim canyon with a fiery red Source Energy Array.

Upon seeing this, the two Bone Spirit Knight riding the Bone Beast raised their spears, and two dark green source energy spells instantly formed.

Dark green fireballs erupted from the magic circle, shattering Ailiya's Source Energy Array and beginning to bombard Ailiya, Caroline, and the other two.

Five Skeleton Soldier rushed over and, taking advantage of the four humans' preoccupation with their own danger, hacked and stabbed them to death.

Make them "one of us".

Caroline, wielding a greatsword, flashed in front of Ailiya. Just as Arya raised her greatsword, ready to fight the charging Skeleton Soldier to the death.

Five Skeleton Soldier wielding broadswords and spears suddenly stopped charging. As if they had seen something terrifying, they trembled, threw down their weapons, and knelt down facing their direction.

Two Bone Spirit Knight not far away also seemed to have seen some terrifying existence, falling off their horses and kneeling in their direction.

Even the ferocious Bone Beast let out a mournful cry, prostrated itself on the ground, and buried its head in the earth.

Caroline then noticed that, without her noticing, the dim yellow void had been transformed into a ghostly green. Seeing the dim yellow void replaced by this eerie color, Caroline's body couldn't help but tremble.

It's over! Even stronger demons have appeared. Fortunately, she carries the statue of the Sword Ancestor with her. No matter how strong the demons are, they are definitely no match for the Sword Ancestor!

Caroline touched Ailiya behind her, signaling Ailiya to retreat to the statue of the Sword Ancestor.

She nudged Ailiya once, but Ailiya didn't move. She nudged her a few more times, but Ailiya not only didn't move, she even took a small step forward and poked her waist with her hand.

"Ailiya, it seems that an even more terrifying demon has appeared. Quickly retreat to the statue of the Sword Ancestor."

Ailiya was almost in tears. Of course, she knew that an even more terrifying demon had appeared, and she knew who that even more terrifying demon was—none other than the statue of the Sword Ancestor that Caroline had mentioned! Just now, as the dark green fireball was about to fall, she saw out of the corner of her eye that the statue of the Sword Ancestor suddenly turned a ghostly color. Then, terrifying ghostly flames erupted from the statue of the Sword Ancestor, and towering ghostly flames shot into the sky.

Wherever the ghostly flames passed, the dim yellow void was stained with a ghostly green.

The Bone Spirit Knight's Source Energy Array and the surging dark green fireballs were directly engulfed by the ghostly flames.

In a daze, she also saw a giant scythe emitting Black Mist briefly appear in the sky. The key point is that it was the statue of the Sword Ancestor. It was still continuously emitting ghostly flames, and the canyon behind it was even reflected in the ghostly color.

Did Caroline really invite the legendary Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor?

How can you tell from this situation? Caroline has summoned a terrifying demon! Caroline is still foolishly telling her to retreat to the statue of the Sword Ancestor. She must have had the guts to do that! Ailiya, with her long, azure hair, keeps gesturing for Caroline to look at the statue of the Sword Ancestor behind her.

Caroline couldn't understand her hints. Having no other choice, she closed her eyes and forcibly turned Caroline's head, forcing Caroline to look at the statue of the Sword Ancestor. Sword Ancestor moment Caroline saw the statue, she nearly fainted. That damned demon had defiled the sacred statue of the Sword Ancestor!

"Ailiya, what should I do? A terrible demon has defiled the sacred statue of the Sword Ancestor. I... I... What can I do to get the demon away from the statue of the Sword Ancestor?"

"Stop talking. I suspect that what you just invited wasn't the Sword Ancestor at all, but a terrifying demon."

Back at the academy, she had heard that it was best not to casually invite anything that wasn't Righteous God, because it might invite some terrifying or even forbidden beings. She never expected Caroline to be so unlucky as to actually invite a terrifying being.

"Damn it! Caroline, Ailiya, more Skeleton Soldier are coming! Four Heavy Armor Skeleton Soldier, armed to the teeth, and behind them is a carriage pulled by Bone Beast. They're coming. They're walking towards us, with two Bone Spirit Knight leading the way, and they're following behind. They're getting closer and closer, should we..."

The warrior was about to ask if he should fight when two Bone Spirit Knight walked right past him without even glancing at him.

Caroline had just raised her sword when Ailiya. The two of them watched helplessly as the Bone Spirit Knight walked past them, knelt down on one knee before the statue of the Sword Ancestor, and bowed to the Sword Ancestor.

Four Heavy Armor Skeleton Soldier also knelt on one knee in salute.

Immediately afterwards, the two Bone Spirit Knight stood up, lifted the statue of the Sword Ancestor Sword Ancestor, and carried it onto the carriage pulled by the Bone Beast.

Two Bone Spirit Knight rode on Bone Beast, while four Heavy Armor Skeleton Soldier, each wielding a greatsword, stood around the carriage.

Five Skeleton Soldier followed behind the carriage.

Upon seeing this, Caroline panicked. How could the statue of the Sword Ancestor have been taken away by the undead in the Twilight Great Canyon? The carriage carried by the Bone Beast began to move.

"Give me back my Sword Ancestor, God!"

"Humans, shut up and quietly follow behind the adults' carriage."

The lead Bone Spirit Knight, riding Bone Beast, arrived behind the carriage and used his spear to block Caroline, who was trying to chase after the carriage, while communicating with the human girl in front of him using spirit language.

That person instructed them to take these four humans away from here.

They dared not disobey that lord.

If it weren't for the adult in the carriage, these four humans would be dead by now, and their bodies would be made into puppets.

"That is the statue of my Sword Ancestor! Please return the statue of my Sword Ancestor to me!"

"What Sword Ancestor? That person is not the Sword Ancestor. Humans, if you speak disrespectfully to that person again, then from now on, do not speak and follow us. That person said that once you leave this place, he will return the Sword Ancestor statue to you."

After saying this, the Bone Spirit Knight rode his Bone Beast back to the carriage and cleared the way for the person inside.

Caroline, Ailiya, the warrior, and the apothecary remained silent, obediently following behind the carriage as it headed towards the unknown.

"Ailiya, is the person I invited really the Sword Ancestor?"

"Very likely. No, does your Sword Ancestor have such prestige? That the undead beings of the Twilight Great Canyon would call him 'Lord'?"

"Then who did I invite?"

"It is very likely a very terrifying great demon, my lord."

Ailiya thought it best to use honorifics, since the Great Demon Lord not only had no intention of harming them but had also protected them once. Caroline felt uneasy; wasn't the statue of the Sword Ancestor being defiled? Lance, sitting in the carriage, heard Caroline and Ailiya's conversation and nodded in satisfaction; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

Please, Sword Ancestor, summon a great demon.

He didn't believe that these four little guys would dare to spread the word about the appearance of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor when they returned to the human world.

As for these undead creatures in the Twilight Great Canyon, their existence is justified. Before they enter the bounty mission sequence in Hell, he's too lazy to send them all to Hell.

The main reason is that these guys are quite sensible.

If they're ignorant, then he wouldn't mind sending them all to hell with the Death God Scythe.

What a wonderful experience! I need to think carefully about the power of faith when I get back.

Hopefully, the swordsmen of the human world didn't build him a temple.

If there really is a Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor Temple in the human world, what would it be called? The Dragon God Temple?

Sword Ancestor Temple?

None of them sound very good.

Sigh. He's been deified for no reason. Who understands the suffering of this black dragon? And who sculpted this statue?

His little finger is thicker than his thumb. He really wants to split open. He can go back anytime now; he can return to his original form by following the golden threads.

Does the descent of a deity mean that the entire Divine Soul descends into the statue? If that were the case, the statue would probably have cracked on the spot. It should be that a wisp of Divine Soul consciousness is separated and descends into the statue. I'll have to study this a bit when I get back.

"My lord, they're out."

"Okay, you can go back now."

"As you command."

Two Bone Spirit Knight led the Skeleton Soldier back the way they came.

Lance glanced at his surroundings; it was a plain, and it was daytime.

I'm going back to sleep. As for the four little ones, well, good fortune follows good luck. The evil dragon Lance followed the golden thread he came from back to his starting point.

After he left, the statue of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor instantly cracked. "Help!!! My Sword Ancestor's statue has cracked!!!"

November 17th, 3455 of the Black Dragon Calendar, sunny.

Today I bought three blankets in Saint Blue City: two large ones and one small one. The two large blankets are for the baby dragon Lucia, and the small blanket is for the evil dragon, so that the evil dragon can turn into a human and sleep on the rocking chair.

November 18th, 3455 of the Black Dragon Calendar: Sunny turning cloudy.

The citizens of Saint Blue City are saying that there seems to be an evil dragon lurking in the capital, and that the princess's recent disappearance might be related to the dragon.

November 26th, 3455 of the Black Dragon Calendar, cloudy.

Recently, many adventurer teams and Hero Party have appeared in Saint Blue City, along with some mysterious and powerful figures. It's unclear whether these people are attracted by Saint Blue's Dragon God Temple or by the recently much-discussed "evil dragon."

It snowed on December 3rd, 3455 of the Black Dragon Calendar.

Residents of Saint Blue City say the snow came earlier than usual this year.

The young dragon, dressed in a loose-fitting, fleece-lined burgundy top, a burgundy hat with two horns, and a scarf, strolled through the snow with the evil dragon.

The crunching sound of her feet on the snow and the icy feeling of snowflakes melting on her face made the young dragon think that her first winter with the evil dragon wasn't so bad after all. Seeing the snowflakes on the street benches, the young dragon couldn't resist rolling them into a ball, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the evil dragon. But as soon as she turned around, a snowball the size of a fist hit her in the face.

It is an evil dragon.

Before she could throw the snowball in her hand, another snowball hit her in the face.

"Little Dragon, a snowball fight is all about quick reflexes and sharp eyes, you..."

The snowball thrown by the young dragon hit the speaking dragon.

Lance brushed the snow off his head and started looking for snow to make snowballs and have snowball fights—a childish game he had never played before.

Let's play with the little dragon today and turn its red hat into a snow hat.

Many citizens on the streets of Saint Blue City recognized Lance and the young dragon, seeing their viscount and the Little Dragon Highness having a great time.

Some children who usually like to play with the baby dragon will take the initiative to make snowballs with their hands, run up to the baby dragon, and hand them to the baby dragon so that the baby dragon can use the snowballs to hit Lance.

Seeing that the dragon cub had friends helping him, Lance didn't tolerate the dragon cub's friends. He made snowballs, and when he couldn't hit the dragon cub, he used the snowballs to gently attack the dragon cub's friends.

Every throw hits its mark.

When the children's parents saw this, they were not angry at all. Instead, they started making snowballs for their children and letting them play with the Viscount.

"There's no Viscount here today, let's have a snowball fight! It's more fun with lots of people."

Lance threw the snowball in his hand, hitting a girl on the side of the street who was eager to try it.

The girl who was hit by the snowball screamed, then kneaded a snowball in her hand and mustered up her courage to throw it at Lance. She didn't dare to hit the Viscount on the head, but she dared to throw it at him.

Lance retaliates.

Seeing that the Viscount seemed genuinely unconcerned, the citizens on the street joined in, and in an instant, snowballs flew everywhere.

As Lance played, snowballs started appearing on his head.

The snow that just fell was quite soft, so it didn't hurt when it hit my skin.

The key is that Longzai is having fun. When there are more people, Longzai throws snowballs at everyone, and sometimes she uses her body to shield other children from snowballs.

Seeing this, some Extraordinary Person joined in with smiles, without using their supernatural powers.

They played and frolicked all the way from the streets to the square.

Just as Lance was about to make another snowball, a tall woman in a deep blue robe and white gloves presented him with a large Lance, saying, "Use this."

"Thanks."

As Lance took the snowball, preparing to give his dragon cub a big one, a soft laugh sounded in his ear, "Don't you recognize me, Lance?"

"???"

Should we call him Lance?

Lance's gaze fell on the woman's face. He hadn't looked at her face before, he was busy having a snowball fight, how could he have had time to look at her?

She has long, emerald-green hair and a pair of bright blue eyes that are both lively and have a touch of age.

It also has a pair of long, thin, pointed ears that stick out.

She is an elf.

When did Saint Blue City become able to attract elves? It looks familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before, but I'll pretend I don't.

Lance shoved the large snowball in his hand into the female elf's face.

"Sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else."
