“But… even the first Dragon, I guess, would never have thought that the twilight of this world would not only last for three hundred years, but also up to a thousand years!”

A thousand years of Spirit Tide depletion!

Without the support of the world, even long-lived species like the Giant Dragon can only meet the inevitable fate of death and decay.

Lifespan!

This is the real constraint!

“Legendary occupational persons undergo qualitative changes, sublimation, can prolong life… but still cannot match the giant dragons. Even if they are giant dragons, they may live for thousands of years during the resurgence of the Spirit Tide, but once the Twilight of the the Gods comes, relying solely on their own strength, I’m afraid they won’t live up to a thousand years!”

“So even if the first Dragon made some arrangements, after a thousand years, they may not still be effective!”

Time is the most terrifying weapon.

It can make beauty age, heroes twilight, and even the strongest who dominate the world can’t avoid the end of death!

“Unless… truly transcendent, achieving immortality!”

A belief in Su Lu’s heart suddenly became much more firm.

He let out his inspiration and began to investigate this strange burial ritual.

“Obsidian, a lot of moon grass remnants, and these runes… indeed should be related to ‘Death’! The core must be the coffin of the first Dragon, but the spirituality track has been diverted… The target is, the bowed giant dragon?”

“After a thousand years, this ritual has exhausted its energy and lost its effectiveness.”

“But I can be sure that the death of the first Dragon is absolutely different from the records outside, he had already prepared, this tomb is evidence!”

After careful observation and thinking for a while.

With the ‘Flicker’ skill, Su Lu made up his mind and took a step out.

The next moment, he arrived at the burial site.

Surrounding him, massive dragon bodies cast large shadows, emitting a terrifying aura, ordinary first and second-level occupational persons would probably be intimidated.

But he seemed oblivious, just sweeping a glance over the dragon bodies around him.

“The ones that have turned into white bones must be the weakest giant dragons… No dragon crystals, could they be in the coffins?”

Su Lu’s gaze shifted, and he saw a semi-rotting green giant dragon.

It had a slender body, sharp claws, and you could faintly see its once majestic posture from the scattered scales.

But what attracted his attention most was a black dragon with the most intact remains.

The skin and scales of the black dragon were tightly wrapped around it, but its huge body seemed to have ‘shrunk’, turning into a ‘skeletal dragon’ of skin and bones!

Not only that!

Getting closer, Su Lu discovered something that shocked him!

“The entire burial ritual has formed a fulcrum here, a place for spiritual diversion! Could it be…”

He glanced at the black skeletal dragon, then looked at the large pyramid, drew a deep breath abruptly.

The next moment!

A shadow clone appeared, swiftly jumped to the top of the pyramid, and kicked over the golden coffin!

Thud!

The golden coffin fell to the side, emitting a dull sound.

The lid of the coffin fell off, and a white skeleton wearing a ragged robe rolled out.

There were traces of spiritual brilliance flowing on the robe and the bones, obviously extremely valuable spiritual materials, but they couldn’t withstand the erosion of time.

In the skeleton’s right hand, a wand was held, with a diamond-shaped crystal embedded in it.

“Dragon Crystal!”

Su Lu’s shadow clone’s eyes lit up, stepped forward to pick up the wand, casually prised it off and easily took off the dragon crystal.

It looked like this golden scepter was an artifact rather than a marvel.

The scenario was so effortless that even the shadow clone was surprised.

In his original role, he was sent to face death, whether it was a curse or any other mechanic, none of them were as surprising as the current situation.

“Is this scepter the only burial object? How poor…”

The Shadow Clone felt increasingly uneasy whilst looking at the lifeless dragon corpse.

It quickly returned to its original body, handed over the Dragon Crystal, and vanished instantly.

“Weird!”

Su Lu toyed with the Dragon Crystal in his hand, and his gaze fell upon the nearby dragon corpses, “It was too easy and there’s so few Dragon Crystals for burial.”

At this moment, his inspiration suddenly detected a grave danger!

Su Lu turned, staring at the skeletal Black Dragon, “It was indeed you!”

At this time, a profound and majestic aura was rapidly intensifying around the Black Dragon.

The lids of its eyes began to roll and suddenly sprang open, revealing a pair of large vertical, amber-colored pupils. It portrayed the ferocity and ruthlessness of a beast, coupled with an inexplicable sense of wisdom and bewilderment, like a person awakened suddenly!

Rumble!

The ground shook, and dust and stones constantly fell within the cave.

It seemed as if a prehistoric beast that had been sleeping here was slowly waking up!

“Is it still alive? Impossible! No… it’s not a living giant dragon, it’s an undead creature!”

Feeling the intense “death” aura emanating from it, Su Lu instantly understood something.

The burial here, the rituals, had transformed this Black Dragon into an undead creature!

“And….although this wave is strong, it has not exceeded the fourth level! The Twilight of the Gods has indeed affected it, causing its strength to decline, has it fallen from the realm of legend?”

Even so, Su Lu backed away a fair distance.

Because what appeared before him was a near fifth-level creature, and if not for the Twilight of the Gods, it would have been an absolute fifth level!

Moreover, with the robust physique and talent of the dragon, its combat power would be absolutely terrifying!

At this moment, the Black Dragon seemed to fully wake up; its spotlight-like gaze focused on Su Lu, bringing a powerful oppressive feeling.

It opened its mouth, vibrated the air, and made a sound that was not comprehensible.

Finally, these sounds transformed into Gulam language: “Outsider?… Is it… you…who disturbed my…sleep?”

“Should I call you a giant dragon, or… Your Majesty, Dragon the First?”

Su Lu fell silent and retorted.

“Dragon the First?”

The pupils of the Black Dragon became even more intelligent,” It’s been a long time…since I’ve heard someone call me by that name!”

It admitted that it was indeed the first-generation Dragon, the founding Great Emperor!

“What an astonishing skill…in the old days, you foresaw the exhaustion of the Spirit Tide and understood that the Twilight of the Gods was near, so you chose your burial ground early on…and tried to prolong your life!”

Su Lu spoke rapidly,”Your method of choice was…soul transfer! After all, even with the Spirit Tide depleted, a dragon’s life is definitely longer than a human’s!”

“You built the Dragon Tomb, put the dragons to sleep here with yourself, awaiting the day of resurrection…but it was too long!”

“A thousand years of time is long enough for even a dragon to die and decay! You were left with no other option but to use the backup plan, and transformed yourself into an undead creature?”

The transformation from a living creature to undead means giving up many things.

Such as touch, joy, beautiful dreams…even emotions.

In the realm of mystery, this is tantamount to death.
