Chapter 679: Chapter 543: The Great Conspiracy

Tilian said a lot in one breath, until he himself was gasping for air.

From the moment he entered the Black Dragon Empire until now, everything occurred under his influence. But he could only suppress everything in his heart. Every time he saw the Black Dragon Empire descended into chaos, he felt extraordinary joy, but he couldn’t share this joy with anyone. But now, none of this mattered anymore.

Because everything would end here!

Long Yi took a few steps forwards, looking at Tilian’s pale face, looking into Tilian’s eyes.

Tilian was no longer the Tilian of the past, but those eyes had not changed at all.

Those eyes were the very ones Long Yi saw during his time travel in the past, in the ward.

In those eyes, there was only firm resolve.

Previously, Long Yi, in a fit of rage, traveled back in time to try to strangle Tilian in the past and end the war directly, but he was stopped by the Fine Gold Golem. But Long Yi knew that the only thing that really stopped him was himself.

As he stormed into the ward, he saw Tilian.

More accurately, he saw Tilian’s eyes.

In his eyes, Long Yi saw neither anger nor revenge.

What he saw was determination with everything on the line.

Self-sacrifice!

It may be unbelievable, but that was what Long Yi saw in Tilian’s eyes at that time.

And because of that, he hesitated for a moment, giving the Fine Gold Golem the chance to take him away.

And now, everything proved that Long Yi’s judgment at the time was not wrong at all.

Long Yi looked at Tilian, and Tilian also looked at Long Yi.

This war between the White Dragon Empire and the Black Dragon Empire had essentially become a war between Long Yi and Tilian. And now, everyone present knew that the final purpose of this war for both of them, was the same.

"Did the old Emperor really die?" asked Long Yi after a long pause.

"Don’t you already know the answer?" counter-questioned Tilian.

"Yes, I think I didn’t know it before, but now I do." Long Yi smiled and then shook his head helplessly, stating, "Alas, you intelligent people of this family! You’ve dragged the whole world into your playing house game."

Long Yi turned his head and looked at the almost stunned Yake nearby.

Yes, at this time, Yake had completely gone blank.

He had doubted Tilian, but what Tilian did dispelled all his doubts, making him believe that Tilian really was driven entirely by a desire for revenge.

Among other things, if Tilian really did have another agenda, would he have been indifferent to the massacre of the people of the White Dragon Empire?

But truly, Tilian remained indifferent. He silently observed everything on the battlefield as if oblivious to everything, helping Yake dutifully.

That didn’t make any sense, did it?

Yake was still in a daze.

But Long Yi had already unsheathed his sword.

The sound of the Greatsword of Crystal being unsheathed brought Yake back to reality in an instant.

I have lost everything! But I can’t die here!

"No! You won’t get the chance to kill me!" The Black Dragon roared. A giant scroll was thrown out from Yake’s private space and was instantly unfurled. He attempted to leave the place using the black wormhole.

But Long Yi was one step ahead!

Whoosh!

The enormous sword swept across the sky, cutting off half of the Black Dragon’s body. One half of the colossal Black Dragon’s body had entered the black wormhole, but its dragon horn was firmly caught in Long Yi’s hand.

The wormhole closed, and the ruined half-body of the Black Dragon was thrown on the ground. At this moment, Yake was not dead yet and while watching Long Yi, his eyes were full of mockery.

"You have no chance of killing me. This body merely houses my consciousness. Once this body dies, my other body will be reborn! Remember, Tilian, it was you who designed this!" Yake roared. "I’ve hidden that body of mine in a place no one knows about, not even you, Tilian! I may die today, but when I’m reborn, I’ll make all of you pay!"

Yake had completely gone mad, he roared, with blood splattering everywhere.

"No, you’re wrong." Tilian said.

"Your other body, I can’t possibly know where it is. But your brain is here."

Tilian suddenly revealed his chest. Within a container in his chest, a human brain was displayed.

Tilian raised his hand, an arc of electricity spread from his hand to the brain, and immediately, the Black Dragon started to convulse all over.

"This! How is this possible! My brain was clearly..." Yake simply couldn’t believe it.

"Why do you think I’ve been by your side without a step away? Why do you think this body of the Black Dragon is collapsing?" Tilian’s face was full of ridicule.

"Because you..."

"Yes! Because of me! That surgery didn’t actually merge your soul and brain with the Black Dragon’s body. What’s in this Black Dragon are merely your thoughts! From the beginning to the end, your brain has been with me! I’ve continuously been subtly influencing you!"

"But...why?! Tilian, during the Dragon Clan grand competition when I had lost all my power, you didn’t kill me then but continued to help me, why now..." Yake roared out.
