Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2074 - 2063: Secret History of the Dragon Clan

The Dragon God opened his mouth wide, as if saying something, and all the Dragon Clan present instantly ceased their restlessness; the nine camps became neat as one once more.At the same time, in the dim void, a burst of light suddenly exploded, no weaker than a solar flare.

When the light dissipated, the Dragon God, who had just been as large as a planet, vanished, and in his place stood an old man with hair and beard all white.

"This is the Dragon God's human form?"

Vivian's eyes widened, greedily branding this scene after scene deep into her mind.

The Dragon God had already become a kind of spiritual faith for the Dragon Clan; let alone his human form, even his exact appearance, no one in the Western Dragon Clan knew.

After the Dragon God completed his human transformation, the Dragon Clan present, accompanied by multicolored radiance, all transformed into human form as well.

What followed was a deathly silence. Led by the old man, the densely packed men and women stood proudly in the void without moving.

"They seem to be waiting for something?"

Just as this thought arose, Vivian noticed that in front of the old man, a blazing Fireball erupted.

When the Fireball disappeared, two strange creatures wreathed in golden light appeared.

"That's a Phoenix!"

Vivian's heart gave a jolt; the bird before her, draped in a robe of multicolored feathers, was exactly the Phoenix phantom she had seen earlier.

"Could it be that the Phoenix and our Dragon Clan are old acquaintances?"

With more and more questions filling her mind, Vivian dazedly looked toward the beast beside the Phoenix.

Its body stretched for ten thousand miles like a giant python, with a dragon's head and horns, scales covering its body, and four limbs beneath it.

Though it had no wings, this strange beast still soared freely in the void.

"This…"

Vivian cried out, "I know now. This is the Divine Dragon that those Taoist Cultivators in Middle Earth always talk about."

Back in Middle Earth, Vivian had once gone to the central island,

and there she had seen the Divine Dragon Dharma Aspect displayed by Taoist Cultivators.

As for the Divine Dragon that Taoist Cultivators were so proud of, the Western Dragon Clan had always been rather critical.

Because this Divine Dragon that resembled a giant python seemed to be nothing more than legend—no one had ever seen a living one.

Whereas the Western Dragon Clan truly existed.

"No wonder Taoist Cultivators are so convinced; turns out Divine Dragons really do exist."

As her words fell, Vivian frowned, a faint dissatisfaction rising in her heart.

She noticed that in terms of flying height, the Divine Dragon and the Phoenix both hovered above the Dragon God.

Who was the Dragon God? That was the ancestor among ancestors of the Western Dragon Clan.

And now he actually had to bow beneath a dragon and a phoenix; how could Vivian feel good about that?

But what came next made her feel even worse.

The old man transformed from the Dragon God suddenly knelt in the void, then prostrated himself in a full kowtow.

The Dragon Clan who had just been standing proudly all dropped to their knees in unison.

While the dragon and the phoenix flew above everyone's heads as if inspecting troops.

Vivian couldn't tell if it was an illusion, but she clearly noticed that as the Dragon and Phoenix flew, the orderly formations actually began to loosen; the Dragon Clan present were all trembling.

Seeing this, Vivian's eyes went wide; she simply couldn't accept it, yet a strange sense of dread rose in her heart, and her legs felt as if they had lost all strength.

If she could control her body, she probably would have already knelt in submission.

After finishing their inspection of the Dragon Clan, the Dragon and Phoenix flew side by side, one clockwise and the other counterclockwise, weaving past each other as they began to spin rapidly.

Soon, an opening glowing with golden light suddenly floated into existence in the void.

Two streaks of Flowing Light flashed past as the Divine Dragon and the Phoenix flew together toward the opening and disappeared.

Next went the old man, and then the Dragon Clan who had been in square formations.

"Where are they going? Could it be that once they left, they never returned?"

Vivian felt this possibility was very high.

Under the premise that Divine Spirits possessed near-endless lifespans, with so many Divine Kings, even if accidents had happened and they'd fallen, the descendants left behind should still be a massive number.

Yet in the Divine Realm today, each Dragon Clan lineage had at most one Divine King; some didn't even have that.

For example, the Earth Series Dragon Clan. They were still under the protection of the Light Dragon lineage to this day. Unless they could one day give birth to a Divine King, they would never shake off the fate of living under someone else's eaves.

No one knew how long had passed before the seemingly endless Dragon Clan finally all walked into the golden Light Gate.

But not all of them. There were still nine figures remaining in the void.

By this time, that golden Light Gate had already closed, as if it had never appeared.

Seeing this, a ridiculous thought surged up in Vivian's mind.

"Could this be the origin of the nine lineage ancestor Dragon Kings of the Divine Realm?"

Aside from that, Vivian couldn't seem to think of any other explanation.

Only this could explain why there was no record of this matter in Dragon Clan history.

"Maybe it was classified as top secret, not to be mentioned to later generations."

Just then, those nine figures transformed back into dragon form and scattered in all directions.

"Vivian, are you okay?"

The sudden voice gave Vivian a start. When she came back to herself, she found that she had already left that stretch of void.

What entered her sight was precisely the Phoenix phantom.

"So everything just now was an illusion?"

Looking at the flying Phoenix, Vivian subconsciously lowered her head, not daring to meet its gaze.

"Are you really okay?"

"I… I'm fine."

The illusion just now had been far too shocking, and it involved the Dragon Clan's hidden secrets. Vivian had no idea whether she should speak of it or not.

Ning Fan looked suspiciously at Vivian; the red dot at the center of her brows had already disappeared.

"As long as you're fine."

Ning Fan's gaze shifted to the Phoenix, only to find that it had vanished at some point, and Xu Xiaoqing had also awakened from her fright.

Xu Xiaoqing said groggily, "Brother-in-law, what just happened?"

"You don't remember?"

"I…"

Glancing at Vivian, Xu Xiaoqing said in surprise, "Brother-in-law, you weren't lying to me. There really are dragons."

"Huh?"

Watching Xu Xiaoqing's expression, Ning Fan asked in puzzlement, "You're not scared?"

To put it bluntly, Xu Xiaoqing had practically been scared into a shutdown just now.

"Tch, what's there to be afraid of? It just looks like a big lizard."

As she spoke, Xu Xiaoqing provoked Vivian with a raised eyebrow.

"The Phoenix phantom also has the power to heal mental trauma and grant people courage."

Ning Fan's expression was strange, but what came next was even stranger.

Aside from "Dragon Knight," "lizard" was also one of the words the Dragon Clan tabooed the most.

Ning Fan had once reflected that if he hadn't used "lizard" to provoke Vivian back then, would things have turned out differently?

That was exactly what was so strange.

Vivian, who already didn't get along with Xu Xiaoqing, actually didn't react at all upon hearing the utterly humiliating words "big lizard."

"Could it be she didn't hear it?"

Ning Fan found that hard to believe. Vivian's hearing was no worse than his, and with how loud Xu Xiaoqing's voice was, there was no way it didn't get to her.

"Was she frightened by the Phoenix Bloodline?"

If Ning Fan knew what kind of illusion Vivian had experienced, he would realize his guess was spot on.

In Vivian's eyes, the person before her didn't seem to be a cheerful young girl, but a Phoenix spreading its wings in flight.
