"Between the Aolei Empire and the Worth Kingdom, the gap was obvious from the sheer number of Transcendent books alone."
Lu Xingshi closed the last alchemy book. He had spent some time reading through every book's contents.
And while he was at it, he further refined and optimized the Earth Codex.
After that, Lu Xingshi turned to examining intelligence related to the Earth God System.
It had to be said that the Age of Gods was indeed far too distant from the present. Even the Aolei Empire's archives contained very little information about the gods.
After looking through them, Lu Xingshi ignored the other gods of the Earth God System and focused on its chief god, the God of Earth and Life.
"In the Dragon Mountain Range south of the Aolei Empire, which separates two empires, the Divinity of the God of Earth and Life—the Immortal Dragon—lies sleeping."
"It is said to be both the last dragon still alive and the first dragon that ever existed. The former might be true; the latter is far less likely."
"Still, this dragon is incomparably mysterious. No one has seen hide nor hair of it for many years."
Rumor had it that Immortal's Doomsday on Lu Xingshi's body contained a scale from the Immortal Dragon.
Of course, that was false. Lu Xingshi had inspected it himself; there was nothing of the sort among its components.
It was merely because the word "immortal" overlapped with Immortal Dragon.
"The most recent verifiable sighting was already thirty years ago."
"But compared with Winter Wolf, the Immortal Dragon was most likely a pure divinity creature, unaffected by human thought."
"Furthermore, the Dragon Mountain Range should be the God Kingdom of the God of Earth and Life. Then where is its Godhood...?"
