I'm Really Not the Lord of the Abyss - Chapter 59

Unlike the others who could only see the scene, a strand of Lu Mi’s will was brought into those fleeting scenes.

He was completely immersed in it—

Lu Mi stood in a world of chaos, witnessing the initial emptiness of this area.

It was more desolate and more silent than other areas.

If he had to say, it was similar to the space channel he came from, where he could faintly hear the sound of tides, but when he looked down, it was all fog, and he couldn’t even feel the wind.

Until one day, three lights appeared.

One from the sky, one from the earth, and one from the ocean.

They turned into three giant dragons, propping up the sky and stepping on the earth. The left claw pulled up the towering mountains, and the right claw waved out the rivers and seas.

The dragon formed by the ocean circled around Lu Mi and said in a deep voice, “In the distant past, we nourished this land with our own power. In the process, the fish that absorbed the scattered power gave birth to the first sea race…”

So the creatures that were originally just ordinary fish, through continuous evolution, broke out of their cocoons and became the current human-bodied and fish-tailed form.

Similarly, various forms of different species appeared on the earth, and flying birds and winged creatures appeared in the sky.

This long time seemed to pass in a blink of an eye in the image, but the actual time spent was more than ten thousand years.

This could be regarded as a heart-stirring history of creation, Lu Mi’s eyes moved slightly, “So, you are the ancestors of the creatures in the Eastern Area?”

“You can understand it that way.” The deep voice answered.

“What happened then?”

On the other side, the others could only see the silver-eyed youth’s lips moving, as if he was talking to the dragon. But no matter what, they couldn’t hear what they were talking about.

It seemed that it was a conversation they couldn’t join. In fact, the handover of the “gods” of the old and new generations was indeed something they could only look up to.

“Later one day, we sensed that we had the opportunity to ‘upgrade’. I gave up my own body, let the body that came from the sea return to the ocean, and the other two did the same as me.”

“This is death in the physiological sense.”

“Indeed, but we are just a wisp of wind, a drop of water, a speck of dust. The longer we live, the more we feel the fatigue of the body, the more we yearn for the freedom of the soul…”

“Where are your souls now?”

“Who knows? I’m just a remnant of consciousness. Maybe it’s in a higher plane, or maybe every drop of water in the sea is it.”

The sea dragon looked at the youth thoughtfully and slowly said, “Newborn god, your birth and existence are different from ours. The three original dragons were one, but you are alone. I thought that the current era was too harsh on the newborn child, but…”

Its tone seemed to suddenly have a bit more concern and curiosity of an elder.

“Hmm?” Lu Mi waited curiously for its next words.

But the dragon just shook its head, “Well, every god’s existence is unique, born from the one-in-a-million miracles of the world… The mountains and rivers of the past couldn’t keep us, can the stars now keep the sun?….I really want to witness it.”

The creatures of the world want to retain the gods high above, but will the gods stay in the end because of them?

Lu Mi didn’t mind its resignation and asked, “So how did the current Tower of God come about? They all say that the Sky Dragon is still alive.”

“…That’s why I called you here.” The dragon’s tone suddenly revealed a hint of sharpness.

The surrounding seawater trembled slightly, as if it had sensed the dragon’s momentary anger that emerged and then was suppressed.

The dragon’s body rose and fell slightly, exhaling a breath, “That was when our bodies were about to die. The Sky Dragon was about to return its body to the sky, but it was bitten by a lurking snake.”

“A snake?”

“The dragon race you know, they were born from our purer power and the combination of mountains and rivers, so their power is far superior to the general Eastern Area species. That poison dragon swallowed a piece of flesh from the Sky Dragon.”

Originally, this kind of injury, for the Sky Dragon, was probably equivalent to breaking some skin, or when it deliberately shed its dragon scales and opened its defenses.

But it was at this time that the return ceremony had a “flaw”.

“That poison dragon took on the identity of the Sky Dragon, as a false god. After that, it claimed that two of the three gods had passed away, and as the God of the Sky, it stayed alone out of its affection for the beings of the Eastern Area.”

“The return ceremony that could never be completed caused the sky of the Eastern Area to be overcast from then on, and the false god, fearing that the true god’s followers flying in the sky would notice something strange, used the power obtained from the flesh to block the entire Eastern Area airspace, preventing the creatures of the Eastern Area from flying ever since.”

In fact, the dragon still omitted a lot of content, such as over the millennia, there were still sharp followers who found something wrong, and brave creatures who saw the truth stood up, but the god—even if it was a despicable counterfeit who only got a remnant of the divine power, was enough to suppress those voices.

“What is that false god collecting souls for?” Lu Mi suddenly asked.

“Life, and power.” The dragon hissed, “That piece of flesh, for him, is like lava poured into a paper cup, his body can’t bear it, he must rely on the purest and cleanest soul to drink the poison to quench his thirst, to barely alleviate the momentary pain.”

Lu Mi nodded, “I understand.”

Seeing this, the dragon seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his expression relaxed suddenly, “Then the Eastern Area, I entrust it to you.”

“…” Lu Mi didn’t say anything, he was used to it.

The dragon sighed with emotion, “Our birth was originally to cycle the power of heaven, earth, and sea, but now you have to end it, it’s…too ugly.”

“Do you have anything else you want to ask? As a remnant of consciousness, I can’t easily leave here, if you need help within the range of the sea, just ask.”

At this time, everyone finally heard the conversation between the two.

Although the past story they had just seen was shocking enough, they now wanted to know more about what Lu Mi was going to do.

Lu Mi, who originally didn’t plan to say anything, couldn’t help but ponder, looking down for a moment, and suddenly said, “Do you know any good materials for forging weapons?”

That false god was a real dragon, compared to magic attacks, Lu Mi thought he preferred real swords and guns with strong penetration.

Since ancient times, slaying dragons has always been like this.

The dragon was slightly stunned, it was silent for a moment, and then said, “Can a piece of heart scale that I shed in the past work?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Especially the sea race, they seemed to know what that heart scale meant.

It was the hardest and most important scale on a dragon’s body, even if it was shed, it would not be given to anyone lightly.

But Lu Mi’s understanding of the dragon race was not very clear, “Can it withstand my power?”

The dragon seemed to laugh a little, “It’s enough to be your blade, to sweep thousands of troops for you.”

“Then I’m looking forward to it.”

The dragon then told Lu Mi the location of the item, and said, “If you get it, you can go to a volcano in the west, where there is a cluster of heart fire left by the Earth Dragon, which is the best for forging.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was once again at a loss for words—

They also knew about that volcano. For a thousand years, no one could approach it, just because of the hell-like refining fire, which was said to be the flame that the Earth Dragon used to self-immolate when it died, capable of melting everything.

The heart scale as important as the heart to the sea god, the most dazzling flame of the Earth God in his life, and the power of Lu Mi himself as the new god… What are they going to make?

For some reason, they suddenly began to sympathize with the target that was about to be punished!

Lu Mi quickly got into action.

After bidding farewell to the dragon, they were sent out of the underwater palace.

But the group did not leave, but continued to follow Lu Mi anxiously. They both wanted to witness what was going to happen next, and were conflicted about what might happen next.

In fact, some of the more sensitive sky race had already vaguely guessed part of the truth, and their faces showed an undeniable shock and turmoil.

Lu Mi didn’t mind them, but went straight to an island in the middle of the sea according to what the dragon said.

There, Agare had just been fished out by his subordinates and was sitting on the island coughing in embarrassment.

“Cough cough…”

“Traitors, get out of the sea!” Another group of sea race patrolling this sea area were glaring at Agare and the others.

At this time, Gray Crow explained, “The sea race who swore allegiance to the high tower, exchanged their fish tails for legs, and from then on, they would be unable to move as soon as they touched the sea water—other sea race think they were abandoned by the sea god, so they are called ‘traitors’.”

Agare was also surprised to see Lu Mi appear, but he still explained to the others while propping up his body, “The Sky God does not have the power of the sea, they were once a trinity of gods, in order to leave our last god, moving from the sea to the land is a necessary sacrifice!”

Obviously, Agare is a person who deeply believes in the existence of gods and is willing to dedicate everything for his faith.

…What a pity.

Lu Mi sighed imperceptibly, probably because people who are battle maniacs are more persistent.

The other party wanted to retain the only “god” of the Eastern Area, but they didn’t know that the god had already been replaced.

At this time, the sea race confronting them also fell into hesitation—

“Trinity”, yes, the three gods have been united in will since ancient times. But it was because of this that when the first sea race who left the high tower returned, they were rejected by the sea, and everyone had doubts.

But they didn’t know who to listen to, and this doubt has been contradictory to this day.

Agare certainly knew the reason for this, although he made a choice, but in fact he could not explain these things.

“…Yo, we meet again?” In the end, Agare just scratched his wet hair a bit irritably, he didn’t care about his drenched embarrassment, and pulled a corner of his mouth at Lu Mi.

It seemed that because of the topic just now, his mood was rarely not high.

But Agare quickly noticed the strange combination behind Lu Mi that he couldn’t help but notice—

“Sea race, traitors of the sky race, and the sky race?” He scanned the faces he had just seen not long ago, “If I remember correctly, weren’t many of you enemies not long ago?”

Everyone: “…”

They subconsciously looked at Lu Mi, and when they saw that the silver-eyed youth didn’t mind, they all breathed a sigh of relief without hiding it.

Then, everyone uniformly and telepathically glared at Agare: There’s no need to bring up the past, jerk!

This scene made Agare marvel, the handsome youth stared strangely, sat up slightly, “Can I ask, what happened in such a short time?”

He was speaking to Lu Mi.

Lu Mi glanced at him, that glance, the silver pupils faintly flashed with the undiminished golden light, making the originally playful youth slightly close his mouth.

“You…” Agare didn’t notice his serious expression.

But the subordinates following him behind keenly perceived the sudden change in their boss’s momentum, which was only seen when facing the existence in the high tower, a rare solemn seriousness.

—That was the attitude he had when dealing with the god he served.

Lu Mi glanced at the handsome youth who was kept in the dark, “You should be more concerned about what is about to happen.”

“…Oh?”

Leaving the other’s sudden change of expression behind, Lu Mi turned around, “For example, whether a shattered faith can be recast.”

Without caring about the reaction of the people behind him, Lu Mi suddenly raised his hand.

At the same time, golden wings spread out from behind him, and the silver-eyed youth flew into the sky in an instant.

“…He…no, why can he fly…!!?” This was Agare, who suddenly stood up.

Gray Crow: “Of course he can.”

Gray Crow’s expression was calm, but his eyes were shining with midnight stars.

How could a false god’s ridiculous tricks restrain a true god.

The figure hanging high in the sky seemed to explain something extremely terrifying, causing the sea race in the farther sea area to suddenly stop their touring singing, and then swim crazily towards this side.

In the next instant, under everyone’s gaze, Lu Mi slightly raised his hand.

At the same time, in the underwater palace, the dragon’s huge head suddenly raised, making a posture of howling to the sky.

“Roar——!!”

The sudden spread of sound waves, clearly coming from the infinitely distant depths of the deep sea, yet so clearly heard by everyone.

The sea race seemed to be struck in their souls all at once, falling into a sudden stupor.

“What is…!!?”

Listening to the dragon’s roar, Lu Mi seemed to smile, he lowered his eyes and whispered, “Come, my star.”

Splash——

The surging tide fluctuated for a moment, the newborn god from the distant region, holding the key given by the god of the past.

As Lu Mi’s power merged into the sea, the originally blue sea surface suddenly revealed a pitch-black starry sky.

—As if the vast universe above the head was perfectly reflected.

Then, the long time obscured by clouds, let all the creatures of the Eastern Area never see the appearance of the stars.

[That day, I saw the starry sky seen by the gods for the first time…]

In the future, when the witnesses recall this scene, talking about the scenery of that day, it seemed to instantly illuminate the heart and soul in their chests.

[I saw him wave his hand, gently push open the star sea on the sea surface, a bluest star “fell” from the starry sky to his fingertips, blooming a transparent flower]

The golden deity slightly lowered his eyes and saw the scale sleeping in the center of that flower.

Of course, it’s not such a small piece, as a corner closest to the heart in the huge body of the dragon, now it’s just its appearance after convergence.

[It once guarded the heart of the ancient god, and now it will become the armor of the new god]

The blue dragon’s phantom suddenly appeared behind the silver-eyed youth, bowing its head and tucking its feet, closely guarding.

For a time, all the tides responded like roaring.

But the golden deity did not stay, he quickly flew to a silent volcano.

That was a red mountain that emitted a terrifying high temperature even when it slept, and the surrounding area was full of distorted air waves.

Just a thought, the blue dragon phantom seemed to know the other’s thoughts, shaking its head and tail, and let out a long roar at the volcano—

Boom!!

The next second, the extinct volcano suddenly erupted with hot and fierce magma, waking up from sleep with a bang.

Afterwards, a golden-red dragon phantom flew out from it, the gloomy sky was mostly dyed scarlet, overlooking with the hot and explosive breath.
