Chapter 678: Chapter 542 Shocking Revelation

"You’re too kind, the title of a mere Pioneer like me is nothing compared to you. If Your Majesty Rongka has something to say, just spit it out. My mind isn’t too sharp, and I’m rather short-tempered, I’m not really good at beating around the bush."

Long Yi said with a smile.

Rongka nodded with a smile and said, "Actually, I don’t have anything too important. I just wanted to personally confirm if the Giants have truly returned. Although it’s not exactly what I had in mind, the appearance of a Pioneer is also a good omen. I am really looking forward to the day the Giants truly return because I have several questions I would like to discuss with them."

Questions?

Rongka has questions to discuss with the Giants?

What’s this all about?

Looking at the confused expression on Long Yi’s face, Rongka just smiled faintly.

"You, being a Pioneer at this moment, might not understand, but that’s all right. With your abilities, you will definitely ascend to the higher planes, and by then you will surely encounter the same questions as I did. Then you will naturally understand what I mean."

"Old man, riddling me like this is rather uncomfortable, can you give me some direct information?" Long Yi pleaded with a smile.

"Haha, don’t call me an old man, my age might not be greater than yours. However, since the Pioneer himself wants to know, I guess it won’t hurt to reveal a bit."

With that, Rongka moved closer to Long Yi and uttered a sentence.

"I suspect, when the Dragon Clan betrayed the Giant, they may not have been acting of their own volition."

Just one sentence immediately caused Long Yi to widen his eyes.

According to the information Long Yi had gathered from various sources, why the Dragon Clan betrayed the Giants was a mystery in the entire multiverse. None of the living beings knew the reason, and the Dragon Clan itself kept silent. From the start of the war until the Giants left, the entire Dragon Clan was cursed and the leaders of the Dragon Clan at that time provided no explanation.

Long Yi looked around at the six colossal Golden Dragons, then turned his gaze to Rongka. These were Golden Dragons, the royalty of the Dragon Clan! Could it be that Rongka got his information from here?

"No, not them. These corpse dragons had lost their original consciousness, I merely created new souls for them. Their original souls have all been annihilated by a powerful force, they have utterly disappeared."

"So, how did you know?" Long Yi was puzzled.

"Because I guess, it won’t be long before I encounter the same problem as the Giants," said Rongka.

Long Yi was completely puzzled.

What does that mean!

The same problem as the Giants?

Betrayal? Siege? Being driven away?

Or does it have some other meaning?

"Haha, I can’t say too much, some things, once spoken, would become a disaster, that’s why I drove away those White Dragons. As for the two behind me, I believe, I don’t need to concern myself, right?"

Rongka smiled, even though he hasn’t turned his head from beginning to end.

At this time, Yake was lying on the ground, being a Black Dragon, he had a natural fear of the six Golden Dragons present. His muscles were out of control, though he wanted to struggle, his body remained motionless.

Yake was so terrified that he was near madness, the gate of hell was his last resort, at first he thought Rongka would use his army to crush all his enemies.

But unexpectedly, instead of waiting for the army, he was visited by Rongka himself!

More surprisingly, Rongka actually struck up a conversation with Long Yi!

Giant! Dragon Clan! Yake couldn’t understand any of it, he only knew that Rongka did not have any hostility towards Long Yi!

He was deceived!

He was fooled!

Damn it, damn it all!

Tilian, where are you?! Think of something!

Yake called Tilian in his heart and looked to his side. Tilian seemed to be not much affected. But what was strange was, on Tilian’s face, Yake seemed to see a hint of...

Joy?

Did I see it wrong?

How could there be joy on Tilian’s face?

The enemy is near, I’m about to die, what is there to feel joyful about?

"Tilian! Find a way out! I command you! Find a way! Save me and let’s leave here!"

Yake continued commanding in his heart.

However, Tilian remained unmoved.

"No, Your Majesty, it’s all over. Today, here, is our doomsday. Instead of making futile struggles, let us calm our minds and wait quietly for our doom to come."

Tilian said calmly in his heart.

"Mad! You’re mad! All of you are mad! You are just a fallen prince, your country abandoned you, you came to me like a stray dog, wagging your tail for mercy! It was I who gave you everything! I gave you status, gave you hope for revenge!"

Yake howled manically, his intense rage allowing his otherwise uncontrollable body to flinch and struggle to its feet.

Blood filled his mouth as he roared out loud.

"I gave you food! Shelter! Women! Everything you desired! I offered you everything so you could have your revenge, and now you betray me! You back down! What happened to your grand speeches! You promised to tear Long Yi to pieces!"

Yake’s roar attracted everyone’s attention. Both Long Yi and Rongka, who were previously engaged in a conversation, turned to look at him.

"Me? Down and out?"

Tilian laughed.

He took a deep breath, lifted his head and stared defiantly at Yake, with not a hint of fear in his eyes!

"Who told you that I was down and out?"

"Who told you I’m a lost dog?"

"Who told you my country abandoned me?"

"And who told you I wanted revenge?"

"It was you..." Yake instinctively answered.

"Yes! It was me! Everything you believed was what I told you! What if, all along, I was deceiving you!"

Ai Lin was stunned.

So was Suolin.

Long Yi, however, let out a heavy sigh, whispering, "As expected, it was really him."

Both Ai Lin and Suolin looked at Long Yi’s face, their eyes filled with confusion.

Tilian laughed. It was a very satisfying laugh. On his pallid and bloodless face, there was a smile like that of a man freed from a great burden.

"Three years. I had intended to take this secret to the grave. But now, since you, this foolish thing, have nowhere left to run, what does it matter if I tell you?"

As he spoke, Tilian edged closer to Yake, pronouncing each and every word.

"I am a spy, placed at your side from the very beginning – a man destined to bring about the complete destruction of your Black Dragon Empire!"

"All was planned since I was but a child." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"I am smart, precocious even. You may not believe it, but I am smarter than my brother Kirei."

"But as my father used to say, the White Dragon Empire’s Emperor does not need to be too smart. A truly clever man is someone who can help the Empire rise!"

"So, from the time I was just a child, I understood my duty and mission."

"Being a playboy was my cover, my perfect disguise."

"By day, I was reckless and unrestrained, but by night, I spent every moment engrossed in learning."

"I mocked men and dominated women, taking it to be second nature, never forgetting the true purpose behind all this."

"Everything I did was a preparation for a moment! A moment when I could truly come into my own."

"Until one day, a key figure appeared who could change everything."

"Long Yi, a pioneer of the Giants, a man potent enough to change the multiverse."

"At that moment, as I stood on the stage with a sword in my hand, all I saw was Long Yi. For I knew, my moment had come."

"I attacked Long Yi without reason, as was my usual way. In return, I was defeated by Long Yi who even stripped me of all my powers. This made me despair momentarily, but I soon realized that this made everything I was about to do seem more reasonable."

"Just as you saw, I was blinded by ’hatred’, ’killed’ my own father. Yet again I lost to Long Yi and as I had calculated, you, this fool Yake, actually came to save me."

"Using this identity, I successfully infiltrated the Black Dragon Empire. Kaniel, your foolish father didn’t trust anyone, he didn’t even trust his own son. So, if one were to win his trust, they would need to pledge loyalty to him. Thus, I underwent the most brutal transformation to become what you see now. To absorb as much knowledge as possible without arousing suspicion, I even planted a secondary brain. Ridiculously, you were oblivious to my intentions behind this."

"I kept absorbing knowledge and gradually controlled your lab. I created seemingly powerful weapons for you, but haven’t you ever wondered why the Dragon Knights I created were always weaker than those from the White Dragon Empire? Why we always go to war at inopportune times?"

"When you prepared to deploy the Undead Warriors, I planned to kidnap Long Yi. I wagered my own life and personally brought Long Yi to the Black Dragon Empire so he could see how terrifying the Undead Warriors are and come up with a counter plan. And as expected, Long Yi successfully destroyed the Undead Warrior factory and saved all the Female Demons."

"Then, I constantly relayed the affairs of the Black Dragon Empire back to my home country. Your foolish father, to his dying breath, never knew the biggest spy was me. Thanks to my double brain, I could effortlessly pass all his tests."

"Even after your imbecilic father died and you ascended to the throne, it was still the same."

"Yake, you fool. Don’t you wonder why I was able to ignore your orders? That’s why! The consciousness that signed the contract with you wasn’t my mind, but just a pitiful wretch trapped in my body. I used his consciousness to know your intentions, but I remained free."

"So, I watched as you entertained dreams of revenge day by day, while I manipulated the entire Black Dragon Empire until it was in complete ruin! I saw Long Yi’s currency warfare coming! I even foresaw what the Black Dragon Empire under the strike of counterfeit money would become, but I didn’t say a word, and you, the idiot, chose the most foolish way to cope."

"I was also fully aware that the people would flee the country, and I had the right solution. But I would never have told you. I wanted the Black Dragon Empire to slowly fall apart in your hands!"

"And all of this, was within my control!"

"If Long Yi defeated your army, then I destroyed your entire country!" (To be continued. If you like this novel, please go to qidian.com to vote, your support greatly motivates me. For mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
