In all the giant’s records, the event of the Heavenly Kingdom’s arrival is depicted as a significant turning point for the giants. It was because of this event that the giant race - an ordinary race - truly transformed into the most highly respected race in the entire multiverse.

Regarding the descent of the Heavenly Kingdom, there are no records in the memories of the Divine Envoys. According to their own memories, even the gods did not know what exactly happened. The giants kept this memory secret in a way that even the gods could not understand. This method must have been devised after the descent of the Heavenly Kingdom.

The arrival of the Heavenly Kingdom triggered unprecedented advancements in the technology of the giants. And due to such advancements, the giants no longer limited their perspective to this universe. They directed their attention towards god, and began to follow in his footsteps.

And creation, was the best way to follow in God’s footsteps.

In the beginning, the giants were exactly like God. They carefully chose the right form and power for the life forms they were creating. As it turned out, this task was easy, utterly unchallenging. The giants created one life form after another, one planet after another, and even one plane after another. However, there were no signs suggesting that the giants were getting any closer to becoming gods.

Until, the birth of humans.

The giants did not give humans strong physiques or any kind of power. In fact, they seemed to have given humans nothing at all.

However, the giants did bestow upon humans an endless possibility.

This was a path slightly different from that of God.

The giants imbued their creations with an unprecedented trait.

Free will.

Humans were like this, the transformed Dragon Hunting Spiders were like this, the elemental creatures were like this, and even the core species used for combat were like this.

Suddenly, the face of the divine envoy stiffened, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Could it be, you are afraid?" The divine envoy murmured in a low voice.

"Me? Not at all..." Wesley, who was next to the divine envoy, replied.

"I was not talking to you." The Divine Envoy gave Wesley a cold glance.

"Alright. Then, who were you talking to?" Wesley retorted.

"God," the Divine Envoy simply stated.

"Didn’t God die already?"

"..."

"Sorry, I won’t ask anymore."

Wesley scratched his head and fell silent.

The situation of the battle below was not going great for Long Yi. Although they had slain many two-headed Black Dragons, ordinary Dragon Knights hardly got the upper hand when fighting against them. And this situation was while the Dragon Knights and the Flying Dragons were in action together. Without them, the Red Dragons at the front line probably couldn’t hold on for long.

Although it seemed like both sides had their wins and losses currently, it was clear that the Double-Headed Dragons this time were very strong! Wesley estimated that they could hold out for a while, but if no more forces joined on Long Yi’s side, they might soon crumble.

In the heat of the moment, Long Yi was considering whether to deploy the golems.

The golem was Long Yi’s ultimate weapon and could not be used until the final moment. After all, the golems were weapons designed specifically by the giants to fight the Dragon Clan. Even when the Dragon Clan was not cursed in the past, the golems were lethal. Now, as most of the Dragon Clan had been tormented by the curse between life and death, the effect of the golems would undoubtedly be far greater.

Just then, however, Gulelie suddenly ordered a retreat!

The Black Dragon army rapidly retreated. Asus and the councillors around him all put on a puzzled expression, but simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

But Long Yi’s expression became even more somber.

"They could have taken this opportunity to win but chose to leave instead. It’s clear that they were here just to test the power of the Double-headed Black Dragon. In other words, the next time they appear, what awaits us might be a full-scale battle."

Upon hearing Long Yi’s words, Asus’s calm heart once again filled with anxiety.

"I think we need to carefully study the tactics."

Continuing this way of meeting the attack head-on was certainly not feasible. Long Yi didn’t know what new tricks Dragon Island could play next. The lack of information was the biggest obstacle right now.

There was a satellite of the giants above Dragon Island, but Long Yi did not know how to control that satellite. It was like Long Yi, being a human from Earth, wouldn’t know how to control Earth’s satellite. Although the satellite could provide an adequate map, it would take a week. So, to get information about Dragon Island, Long Yi needed someone in there to pass it out.

Upon this, Asus pondered for a long while.

"I know of a councillor. He is neutral but has repeatedly expressed to me, before I knew you, his grief and regret over the Dragon Clan’s betrayal incident. He also believes that maintaining a friendship with the giants is very necessary. Even though he did not join us this time, he is one of the few councillors who steadfastly opposed the war. I think I might be able to persuade him."

"Are you the one going?"

"No, I can’t. My power is too great. If I went back, Gulelie would instantly sense my power. I will send someone I trust the most to call him out for a private meeting."

"Will he meet you?"

"Yes, I know him well. He wishes to do something for the Giants, to make up for the past mistakes. He just doesn’t want to start a war."

"Alright, please be careful."

"Rest assured, even though it’s only me, it’s impossible for him to detain me."

Asus quickly departed to make this arrangement. However, Long Yi was still worried and called a few Dragon Knight leaders together with Asus to discuss it. After all, Asus was a dragon, and like all dragons, his brain was less flexible and had difficulty wrapping around the concept. It was best to let the cunning humans provide the ideas.

As members of the War Committee, the Dragon Knight leaders were full of cunning. Upon hearing that Asus planned to return and persuade the councillor so that they could get information, they immediately considered the possible responses from the other side and discussed in detail how to deal with each of them.

Three days later, a dizzy Asus, brimming with answers, said to Long Yi.

"Humans, indeed, are astute."

While Asus left, Long Yi had no intention of simply sitting around waiting.

He thought about it and decided he should still start with the satellite.

If there’s currently no way to remotely control the satellite, why not go up and see for himself?

This idea was born and stuck in Long Yi’s mind.

"I must go up there and see for myself!"

When Long Yi shared this thought with Ai Lin, she was completely frightened.

Although many people had been curious about the mysteries of outer space, no one had ever really ventured there.

"Can... can this work? Isn’t it too dangerous?" Ai Lin asked, her voice weak.

"Of course, it’s possible. I know what’s up there. The issue is how to get there." Long Yi explained.

"Is it difficult to get there?" Ai Lin asked cautiously.

"I don’t know..." Long Yi said, "Originally, the Dragon Clan could travel the universe with their own bodies. But so many years have passed, will these Dragons, who have just lifted their curse, still be able to do it?"

Although Long Yi was somewhat worried, there was no use just fretting about it, he had to try in the end.

Long Yi chose Xiaoyou the dragon, instead of Bajie.

Although Bajie is clearly stronger, its massive size is not suitable for space travel. Comparatively, Xiaoyou has an excellent physique despite its smaller size and should be up to the task.

So, on a clear morning, Long Yi began the first experiment.

An airtight cabin formed on Xiaoyou’s head, allowing Long Yi to enter. And then Xiaoyou began to ascend. This was Xiaoyou’s first continuous ascent. It soon entered the stratosphere, and Xiaoyou started to feel stifled and unable to breathe. However, Xiaoyou gradually adapted thanks to the Dragon Clan’s excellent resilience and then continued to ascend. As Xiaoyou climbed higher, the air became thinner, and its wings could no longer provide enough lift. Xiaoyou switched to using its Fighting aura as thrust, which allowed it a bit of rest.

However, as it went higher, altitude hypoxia started torturing Xiaoyou again. Long Yi initially thought that Xiaoyou, who could travel the universe back in the day, just wasn’t used to it. But reality proved him wrong. Xiaoyou thought the same, believing it could withstand it. However, after a short while, Xiaoyou, suffering from lack of oxygen, directly passed out!

"Damn!"

Long Yi was shocked, and the unconscious Xiaoyou immediately lost power and started plummeting from the sky at high speed. Little Zi quickly appeared, trying to wake Xiaoyou up. The giant Shadow Dragon had almost crashed into the Troposphere when it finally regained consciousness. Using all its Fighting Aura, Xiaoyou stopped its decent. After comparing with a map, it returned to the Gentle Wind Plain with Long Yi.

"How was it?"

Seeing Long Yi dismount from the dragon’s back, Ai Lin quickly asked.

"We failed."

Long Yi said.

Xiaoyou thought it was its fault for the failure, feeling it was far too weak. After all, why couldn’t they fly in space when the ancient Dragon Clan could?

"Don’t blame yourself for this. It’s my fault as I didn’t clearly understand the situation and wanted to show off." Long Yi comforted Xiaoyou.

"Roar..." Xiaoyou responded listlessly. Obviously, it still blamed itself.

"Xiaoyou, don’t rush. Let me think of a solution, clarify what happened." Long Yi knew that coaxing was useless now, so he decided to figure out a solution first.

According to Long Yi’s estimation, the failure was due to one of two reasons. One could be that the rules of this world restricted the Dragon Clan’s power, resulting in them unable to travel through space.

The second, and the one Long Yi least wanted to see, was that the curse he laid wasn’t fully lifted! It’s possible that the original Giants made some other modifications!

If it’s the first reason, then Long Yi could find a way. However, for the second reason, Long Yi was at a loss. Because with his knowledge, he simply didn’t know how the original Dragon Clan managed to traverse the universe. The Giants’ slab also didn’t have detailed explanations. Apparently, these things were common knowledge back then, just like the slab didn’t mention that one plus one equals two.

Even the method of activating Divine Power wasn’t mentioned.

After giving Xiaoyou a series of check-ups, Long Yi found nothing unusual. If he didn’t know about the Dragon Clan’s mysterious loss of power, he wouldn’t have looked for answers in that direction.

So, let’s assume that the issue lies with this world’s unknown rules.

But what on earth are these rules?

When Long Yi posed this question to the Divine Envoy, the girl gave Long Yi a blank stare.

"The answer to your question is something that if you knew, you wouldn’t ask me, and even if I explained it to you, you still wouldn’t understand," she said.

Long Yi was rendered speechless.

"Then let me change the question, how can these rules be lifted? Or how can these rules be circumvented?" Long Yi continued to ask.

"How would I know, aren’t these the things you Giants cooked up?" The Divine Envoy spread her hands helplessly.

Long Yi was at a loss and could only figure it out on his own.

Hold on!

What if he goes up there alone? (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to the starting point (qidian.com) to cast a recommendation vote or a monthly ticket. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
