Dragon Emerges from the East!

Nine-Tailed Fox Headquarters.

"Ocean?"

Listening to the voice coming back from Nairasojin's side, Qin Leng frowned to himself, "What is he referring to? The sea... does he mean the ocean now, or the monsters in the sea?"

The priest looked at Qin Leng, "If we look at this through two different mythological systems, I think it's talking about a monster in the sea."

"Their overall appearance and names resemble those of Outer Gods or the retinues of Extraterrestrial Evil God."

"I don't think dragons belong to that lineage; they should obviously come from another mythological system."

"There is an ancient saying that dragons roam the clouds and play in the water, ruling the four seas. If the ocean is the dragon's territory, then now, a group of foreign invaders have occupied the ocean. If I were a dragon..."

"Alright?" Arthur.

"Get him out!"

010 was kicked out of the meeting room.

The priest crossed his arms over his chest and said, "If I were a dragon, my primary goal would be to drive away those outsiders."

"If we extend this further, the fact that the dragon deliberately appeared here, right in front of us, is surely a sign that it's asking for our help."

"That makes sense."

Listening to the discussion, 019 Insects yawned.

His thoughts had already wandered far away.

This is literally a spiritual journey beyond the heavens.

From the Insects's perspective, what he saw before him was not a conference room, but a vast blue sky, beneath which stood a school.

A small insect streaked across the sky and landed on the windowsill of a classroom.

Through the insect's perspective, the Insects saw many students.

The little insect stayed there, motionless for a long time.

Outside world.

A passerby took a picture of the sky and remarked, "It's so foggy today."

After taking the photo, the passerby casually forwarded it to a group chat.

Shortly afterward, someone suddenly sent the photo back, and outlined it with a red line.

"Is a powerful figure Tribulation Crossing?"

Passersby squinted and could indeed vaguely see a human figure in the mist in the photo.

The passerby looked up at the sky again in confusion, and what he saw made him realize that the sky had suddenly turned dark.

Dark clouds gathered, thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed every now and then!

Boom!

A flash of lightning illuminated the sky, making the figure in the dark cloud even clearer!

Holy crap!

"Who are you, fellow Daoist, undergoing Tribulation Crossing here?"

The man snapped a picture of the scene with his phone, but before he could post it, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck and hit his phone!

Boom!

The man instinctively let go of the phone, which exploded upon hitting the ground!

Upon seeing this, the man immediately covered his head and squatted down, pleading, "Fellow Daoist... no, senior, I had no intention of offending you. I just wanted to post a picture on my WeChat Moments. Please don't strike me down!"

At that moment, several photos and videos were uploaded to the internet.

Many people took photos at the same time from different perspectives.

Because of the numerous photos and videos taken from different perspectives, the news quickly went viral online.

"Holy crap, a cultivator?"

"Is this a Nascent Soul Ancestor undergoing Tribulation Crossing?"

"Are there really cultivators?"

"Why do I feel like I understand this world less and less?"

"Weren't there vampires before?"

"Not only vampires, but also Fishman, bro, DM me for photos!"

"Is this a sign of a spiritual energy revival?"

"Dragon?"

"I saw a dragon!"

Where are the dragons?

"Look at the video that another blogger reposted; there was a dragon shadow when it thundered!"

Someone recorded a video at the scene.

In the video, at the 6-second mark at the beginning, there is thunder in the sky, and a human figure and an enormous dragon shadow appear in the dark clouds!

"The dragon emerges from the East, and the Way of Heaven flourishes!"

"This means we've caught up with the spiritual energy revival!"

"They're here, they're all here!"

"I want to cultivate immortality!"

"Wake up, upstairs, it's time to go to work."

"The demonic cultivators slaughtered across three thousand miles, and you are just a commoner on the plains."

"A powerful being can destroy mountains with a single blow; you are but a woodcutter in the mountains."

"A mighty wave splashes three thousand meters high; you are a fisherman at sea."

"Stop talking upstairs, I'm going to work, okay?!"

"We are born free, not to be beasts of burden for others. If the path to enlightenment leads to death, we would rather sacrifice ourselves for it!"

"I don't have many words to say, so I'll just give you one awesome sentence, fellow Daoist!"

"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!"

Inside a residential house.

Meng Qing stared into thought as he looked at the darkening sky outside and the video playing on his computer screen.

"My reason tells me that this is related to a monster."

"So close to me... Dangerous, extremely dangerous."

As Meng Qing spoke, he suddenly pushed open the door to the room and saw his parents in the living room eating sunflower seeds and watching TV.

"Mom and Dad, let's move."

"Um?"

Why would you move house for no reason?

"Is he running a fever again?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Qing sighed, turned around, and went into the room to start packing his luggage.

I won't say anything more. For people like us, just surviving is already a difficult task.

Seeing his actions, the mother on the sofa nudged Meng Qing's father.

"Let's go take a look."

The father got up, went into the room, and then closed the door behind him.

Why are you moving?

"In order to live."

"Will you die if you stay at home?"

"Can die."

"Okay, then you can go."

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Upon hearing Meng Qing's words, the father remained silent for a long time.

"You're not my son, are you?"

Upon hearing his father's words, Meng Qing suddenly paused.

Before he could speak, his father continued, "You don't need to lie to me. I know you're not him. How could a father not recognize his own son?"

"Then why didn't you expose me?" Meng Qing turned around and asked.

The father gave a bitter laugh, "Because I don't want to accept this reality, my son... is already dead."

"The soul inside his body had long since left, but that day, he suddenly stood up again. I could tell that the person inside had changed, but at least in this body, he was my son."

"..."

Both of them fell silent.

"May I have your name?"

"Meng Qing, that's my name."

The father looked up blankly. "I thought your name was Chu Yang... after all, that's what you wrote in your diary."

Well.

Who keeps a diary if they're a decent person?

Meng Qing calmed himself down. "Anyway, that's the situation. I can't say anything more."

"In short, it's dangerous here, so stay away if you can."

Meng Qing packed his luggage and then left directly.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to give the parents of this body a hug.

I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to fulfill a wish.

The father didn't say anything, while the mother looked puzzled.

"Let him go."

"He was never meant to be here."

Downstairs.

Meng Qing was walking down the street carrying his suitcase when a drunken, fat man suddenly bumped into him.

Bump.

The fat man had no eyes, and two men in black suits were following him not far away.

Upon seeing this, Meng Qing quickly stepped back and apologized, sensing trouble brewing.

Just as he was about to leave, the eyeless fat man suddenly grabbed his suitcase.

"You... you feel so familiar. Who are you?"
