[Vol. 8] Chapter 341: The Exception Among Exceptions
After the [Creation of the world Project] started, these beings became the very first group of natives of Illusory World.
Later, Dawn worked hard to bring in even more species from different worlds. The reason she moved Spirit Veil Immortal Island to the Origin Realm was actually for this purpose. That’s why in Illusory World there are dragons, seven-attribute dragons that look almost exactly the same as the ones in the Origin Realm.
If the Ancient Dragon Emperor Jiuyu could not pass on their bloodline because of the rules made by the Primordial Light, and because they was marked as forbidden, and these rules even spread to all worlds based on the Origin Realm, then… does Illusory World, this so-called “game,” really count as a world?
And going even further, does this world, which was created completely on her own by the Fox Shrine Maiden Dawn, really have to follow the rules made by the Primordial Light?
The answer… is most likely no.
Xiao Guang’s race is the Holy Crystal Dragon, a mix of the Holy White Dragon and the Diamond Crystal Dragon, carrying both bloodlines and talents. This is one of the main reasons for her powerful strength.
But even in Illusory World, this situation is completely unique. The dragon race, even after millions of years of evolution and creating many sub-races with mixed traits, has never allowed two true pure bloodlines to combine.
That means, even if a Holy White Dragon and a Diamond Crystal Dragon truly loved each other, their child would only ever be a pure White Dragon or a pure Diamond Dragon. A mixed race like the Holy Crystal Dragon should be impossible, no matter the world.
So why did Xiao Guang become the exception?
If she wants to explore her origins, then up until now, besides the dragon girl, who else has ever had more than one dragon bloodline?
The answer is already obvious.
What’s more, the dragon spell that Xiao Guang controls is not something she learned. It is a natural gift that awakened once she reached the highest level. This skill, which once seemed meaningless, now appears to be the key proof of a certain guess.
Thinking of this, the priestess frowned slightly.
“So, when did you first start noticing something strange? To be honest, I don’t think just White’s words alone could shake your mind so easily.”
“Master, it’s very simple. Do you think a power on the level of the Primordial Flame would appear out of nowhere for no reason?”
The Dragon God gave a helpless shake of the head.
“At first, I couldn’t understand why I awakened such a flame. It wasn’t until I met White, who shared many secrets about our dragon race, that I slowly began to realize the possibility.”
“That one must have also noticed something, which is why she openly proposed this cooperation. I thought about it for a long time and finally agreed, because the Serpent, just like the Ancient Dragon Emperor, was once one of the absolute rulers at the peak of that old era. There is a very special connection between them.”
“If I really am related to the Ancient Dragon Emperor, then once I get close to the true Serpent, I will definitely feel something, and I can finally confirm my origins.”
“On the other hand, what White said about the Primordial Light also bothers me a lot. If she is right, then whether I stand as a dragon or as someone connected to the Ancient Dragon Emperor, that thing will be my greatest enemy in the future. Letting a being like the Serpent go test its strength first is the best option.”
“That’s the reason I decided to help that mortal rise to power. Honestly, among all the competitors, he was probably the easiest to handle and the least likely to make things go out of control. After all, his past self was just an ordinary human.”
“…I understand. I have to say, you handled this very well. Even if it were me, I doubt I could have managed it perfectly.”
Violet let out a quiet breath. She looked deeply at Xiao Guang’s beautiful face, which showed some mixed emotions, and asked her seriously.
“So, what kind of answer did you find? If it turns out you really are the reincarnation of Jiuyu, would you want revenge on Them?”
Violet’s tone was serious, even carrying a faint touch of determination. But the dragon girl only smiled.
“Master, you seem to misunderstand something. I’ve never cared that much about the Ancient Dragon Emperor. I never thought about restoring the glory of the dragon race, or rebuilding the old order of that age…”
“Do you remember what I once told you? Xiao Guang is just Xiao Guang. I only have one identity, and that is being your partner and pet. No matter when, no matter what happens… I will never leave you. My master’s position is always Xiao Guang’s position.”
“The reason I want to figure out my past and the secret of the Primordial Light isn’t because I’m desperate for revenge. It’s because if I really do carry such a history, one day in the future it will surely bring you great trouble. Even if I don’t go looking for certain people, they might track me down. Only if I understand everything in advance can I prepare for what’s coming.”
“You’re the one who taught me that, aren’t you?”
Seeing the blonde girl’s serious and determined expression, not like a joke at all, Violet fell silent for a moment. In the end, she only showed a faint smile.
“You really have grown.”
She spoke softly with a sigh. Violet didn’t continue asking about Xiao Guang’s possible connection to the Ancient Dragon Emperor. After all, was it really that important?
Xiao Guang was still Xiao Guang. Since coming this far, she had changed in many ways, yet some things had never changed from the very beginning. As long as that much was certain… that was enough.
When the dragon girl noticed her master not only didn’t scold her but instead sincerely praised her, her pretty face blushed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she added again.
“Master, there’s actually another, more important reason why I did all this in secret without daring to tell you. Before, I couldn’t be sure. But now… it’s fine.”
“Oh?”
The priestess raised her eyebrows slightly, then relaxed again. She wasn’t foolish, since Xiao Guang spoke this far, she could already guess her meaning. She smiled as she said.
“What, do you also think I’m that so-called Primordial Light?”
“Uh… hahaha…”
The dragon girl touched the horns on her head out of habit, looking a bit embarrassed.
“I-I was only worried it might be possible, that’s all. After all, a lot of people probably think that way. And Xiao Guang doesn’t fully know your past either. But Master, you are the strongest, noblest being I’ve ever seen. If anyone had the power to accomplish those things back then… it would only be you.”
“Sigh… See? Nothing good ever comes from being linked to that thing…”
