Chapter 1594: What Is Eternally Asleep Might Not Be Dead

The hovering Dragon Islands.

In a magnificent hall, 10 giant dragons stood each at one side, and the atmosphere in the hall was very tense.

The top 10 powerhouses of this world, representing the 10 giant dragon tribes, were all gathered here.

“Is the information from the Twilight Forest reliable? Do devils really exist?” the chief of the Fire Dragon Tribe, Lorenzo, asked loudly in disbelief while spitting fire.

“Irina used the Holy Light to kill the devil possessing Isaiah, and purified both of them, causing them to disintegrate. This was presented to everyone at the scene.

“Back then during the Urba Tribe ma.s.sacre, there were already a lot of unsolved questions. We"ve also found traces of evil aura on the site. That"s why we didn"t put Rex to death, and only locked him up in Bastie Prison.

“If what Rex said was true, I"m afraid the devils have already seeped out into this world, but we know nothing about this or them,” Douglas said in an icy cold tone, making the air around cool down a lot.

“The giant dragons are the strongest race in this world. We are the rulers of the sky from birth. Even if the devil really exists, there"s nothing to be afraid of,” Eustace, the great elder of the purple crystal dragon tribe, said with a complacent laugh. “Isn"t it a joke to gather the top 10 giant dragons over for such a small thing?”

“I still have a scheduled fight with t.i.tan. If there"s nothing else, I"ll make a move first.” Zaiya, the chief of the tyranno dragon tribe, stood up and turned to leave the hall.

“If devils do exist in this world, I"m afraid this matter will not be as simple as we think.” Just then, the chief of the giant dragon tribe, who had been silent all along, solemnly said, “I chanced upon a giant wall mural in the golden dragon tribe"s forbidden cave. It was left behind by our ancestors. I have never understood what it was trying to express for all these years, but I think I should bring all of you over to take a look.”

“A wall mural left behind by the ancestors?” The other giant dragons were all shocked when they heard that. Even Zaiya, who was reaching the door, stopped in his tracks.

A giant dragon"s long lifespan allowed them enough time to pa.s.s on stories orally to the younger generation without the need for written words or wall murals.

However, Golden Dragon Island, which was where giant dragons originated from, had a wall mural left behind by their ancestors. It was something even Louis, the dragon who had seen the most and lived the longest, was unable to comprehend. That drew quite a lot of attention from the other giant dragons.

“Let"s go.” Louis got up, flapped his wings, and disappeared from the hall.

The other giant dragons followed along.

Within a moment, the giant dragons appeared in a dark underground cave. A giant wall mural that was more than 500 meters long spread out in front of them.

This was something only a giant dragon could have done.

Even the best giant dragons of each tribe were shocked to see a wall mural of such scale underground.

“I can"t believe that a wall mural like this actually exists underground in the golden dragon tribe. But what"s drawn on it?” Lorenzo spat out a ball of flame. It flew out and stopped, suspended in mid-air 100 meters in front of the mural.

That was when the entire mural hidden deep underground was displayed in front of everyone.

Chaos.

What they could see was just chaos.

This was a complete drawing. There were countless different races and also countless creepy scenes drawn on the mural.

The giant dragons were killing and tearing each other apart, the forest trolls were twisting their fellows" heads off while having half an elf in their mouths, and the goblins had red eyes and were riding on orcs as they chased a group of monkeys hysterically. The Boundless Sea Realm was stained red, with demon bodies floating around as cl.u.s.ters of horrifying big fishes tore them apart. There were also many other races they had not seen before killing and murdering their own and people of other races maniacally…

Right at the center of the mural was an unknown grayish-black object the size of a small mountain. The giant dragons were as small as mosquitos in front of it, and there were several tentacles reaching out from a hexagonal seal on top that was suppressing it. Those tentacles were dotted with blood-red eyes that were gleaming with evil, as though they were about to break out from a seal.

When the giant dragons saw that, their expressions changed a little.

“Wh-what is this?!” Lorenzo, who was standing right in front of the image of the unknown thing, took a step back subconsciously.

The creepy and striking image had shocked the giant dragons.

“If an unknown and horrifying devil does exist in this world, it will probably look like this.” Louis took a step forward, and solemnly said, “This wall mural dates back way further than what we"ve recorded and pa.s.sed down as giant dragons. What I am talking about here is tens of millennia, but there is nothing about this wall mural from what we"ve pa.s.sed down as giant dragons. Therefore, I even thought that this might be a creation of imagination left behind by one of our ancestors.”

“The different races at war with each other, even killing amongst themselves, could this be an actual record of a war between races from ancient times?” Eustace asked with a frown.

“No. This seemed more like how Rex described the Urba Tribe killing amongst themselves after they were controlled by the devil.” Douglas fixed his gaze on the mural as he solemnly said, “The war between races isn"t like this. Giant dragons would not attack our own kind so ravingly. No other race would attack their own kind so rabidly, even more so for the elves.”

“This is just a wall mural, why are all of you so nervous?” Zaiya pressed his lips together with a smile, and said, “Maybe it"s just a wall mural drawn by one of our ancestors when he had nothing to do to scare us.”

“No. I think Douglas is right. This wall mural should be a warning left behind by our ancestors. There was something odd happening underground three years ago, and that was how I discovered this hidden underground cave and just this wall mural. And in only three years, there have been purported appearances of the devil in the Twilight Forest. There must be a relation between these two occurrences.” Louis walked up to the front. He fixed his gaze on that unknown object with a giant octopus head, human body, and giant wings. “I"m afraid this fellow was sealed somewhere by our ancestors, and right now, he has started reaching his tentacles out to do something to our world.”

“How is that possible! You said that this wall mural existed for tens of millennia. How can that thing be alive for so long? Even giant dragons have a lifespan of only 3000 years,” Lorenzo questioned.

“Take a look at the words at the corner.” Louis turned to look at the corner of the mural.

There was a string of words written in archaic giant dragon language.

“What is eternally asleep might not be dead…” Lorenzo read out loud in a shaking voice.
