Zi Xing observed the True Dragon Saintess—after he meticulously recounted his experiences in the Yan Wuyue World—even so, he withheld the fact that he found the animal skin map at the Nagato House.

Because she is the True Dragon Saintess, Zi Xing naturally didn’t view her as an ordinary little girl.

But could this True Dragon Saintess unravel some of his confusions?

“Hmm…

According to what you said, Izanagi and Izanami actually appeared in the Yan Wuyue World…” Long Xiruo touched her chin, seeming to be in deep thought.

Zi Xing did not interrupt.

Long Xiruo slowly said, “These two are originally the incense gods on Fusang Island, considered the embodiment of the native Wish Power on Fusang Island.

They aren’t particularly strong, nor especially weak, yet if they unite, they could pose some threat.

However, if everything you said is true, I have some theories about the disappearance of the gods on Fusang Island and the decline of the Divine Dao back then.”

“What do you mean?” Zi Xing frowned.

Long Xiruo said indifferently, “You know about the current rules of Heaven and Earth, which reject everything Transcendent, right?

The stronger the Transcendent, the more severely suppressed they are.”

Zi Xing said solemnly, “End of Magic…”

“Yes, and no.” Long Xiruo shook her head.

“To be precise, it’s a kind of struggle by the world’s instinct.

Because the Transcendents have been consuming resources from the main world.

Who wouldn’t resist against such plunderers?

There are many divine pantheons in the main world, but they have all vanished into the long river of history, with the most famous being the Twilight of the Western Pantheon.”

“According to what the Holy Maiden said, was the Twilight of the Gods driven by the main world’s will?” Zi Xing opened her mouth in surprise.

“I am merely speculating.” Long Xiruo shook her head.

“However, different divine pantheons have successively disappeared or fallen.

Even the netherworld gate of my China is tightly shut.

Now, the demons are also in decline and have to rely on humanitarian fortune to barely survive.

Can all these be unrelated?

I don’t think so.”

At this point, Long Xiruo suddenly looked at Zi Xing, “Once prosperity reaches its peak, decline follows.

No matter what it is, even if one becomes a so-called divine body, as long as they haven’t transcended, they can’t escape the five decays of heaven and man.

Some beings, unwilling to truly perish, can only exhaust every possible means to sever themselves from the main world completely, in hopes of maintaining a small foothold.

But these beings initially plundered countless resources from the main world and bear its mark.

Now, wanting to truly sever from it, is easier said than done.”

“Do you mean that Yan Wuyue World by Izanami was created to sever connections with the main world?” Zi Xing came to a realization.

“Theoretically, yes.” Long Xiruo said in perplexity: “But if that was the intention, why open it and draw you in?

The theater… could there be someone else quietly orchestrating things behind the scenes?”

“Holy Maiden, do you know if there have been any successful Transcendents in the main world?” Zi Xing suddenly asked.

“Perhaps there are, perhaps there aren’t.” Long Xiruo shook her head again: “I…

the true dragon is entirely tied to the Shen Zhou Dragon Vein, with no possibility of separation.

If the Shen Zhou Dragon Vein separates from the main world, it will perish…

Should there be a gathering of Transcendents somewhere, I couldn’t go even if I wanted to…”

Her voice gradually became somber.

Zi Xing heard the immense helplessness in her words and fell silent—not unfamiliar with the concept of transcendence, as the Greedy Wolf Tribe had some vague records on the topic, but the gravity of it weighed heavily on her mind.

“There are legends that Penglai allows one to become an Immortal, transcending Heaven and Earth.” Zi Xing suddenly said, “It is also said that the first true dragon of China emerged from Penglai…”

“I know what you want to ask.” Long Xiruo furrowed her brow, “But I’d advise you to give up that thought.

Frankly speaking, the origin of the first true dragon is also a blank area in the true dragon inheritance.

Whether the so-called first true dragon originated from Penglai or not, even I…

a part of the true dragon lineage, can’t say with certainty, let alone an outsider.”
