Because the Dragon King activated the World-Destroying Spirit Word: Candle Dragon before his death, flames ignited in the south, but even the northern city of Luoyang could clearly see the heavenly fire descending from the south.
That year, Mars was in conjunction with Antares.
Faced with such a "natural disaster," the Han River changed its course, and the separation between Guanzhong and Shu became more and more serious. Chang'an also lost its potential to become the capital and gradually declined.
There is no longer any dispute that the Later Han Dynasty established its capital in Luoyang.
In the face of such a major event, the deaths and injuries of "mere" two thousand people are nothing.
Thus, the Zhou family followed Emperor Guangwu's arrangement and settled in Xiangyang to guard the Dragon King's tomb, which was not far from them.
Twenty years ago, a minor earthquake occurred, but the Zhou family in Xiangyang was already alert and sent people to check, but found nothing unusual.
During this time, although there were constant minor tremors, the Dragon King did not awaken.
It wasn't until the earthquakes stopped that year that the Zhou family became fully aware that the Dragon King was about to awaken.
Just then, the Chen family of Haining learned of this matter and informed the Secret Party. The Secret Party then devised the so-called "Kuimen" plan, intending to search for the Dragon King's whereabouts.
Coincidentally, the Zhou family also wanted to get rid of this "living ancestor" underground, sending him to Kassel College, to America, in short, he couldn't stay in China.
Kassel College, or rather the Peruvian party, was happy to take the blame.
This was also Nuwa's duty to guard the Three Gorges. Unexpectedly, after making just one phone call, her expression changed drastically, and she rushed to this small town without stopping.
Left with no other choice, Zhou Minhao could only follow along and urge her to return as soon as possible.
After all, the true core of the Dragon King's guardianship is actually Nuwa.
Chapter 114 Nuwa
"What is this sword?"
Xia Mi asked softly. She sensed a familiar aura emanating from the sword. If nothing unexpected happened, it was another old friend she wasn't very close to.
"As you expected, the Dragon-Slaying Platform," Zhou Minhao said calmly.
In today's mixed-race society, few people are unaware of this greatsword passed down through the orthodox Zhou family. This sword itself is one of the Zhou family's most prestigious possessions.
"The Dragon-Slaying Platform?" Xia Mi repeated softly. Even from this distance, she could still smell the bloody scent emanating from it—this sword had buried a dragon king.
Judging from the intense heat emanating from it, it's likely Constantine.
Throughout human and hybrid history, aside from the most mysterious Odin, the four monarchs and the human names they embodied have been buried more than once, mostly by the machinations of their own kind.
It remains an extremely rare occurrence throughout history for a hybrid to personally slay a dragon and stain his sword with royal blood.
"Has it changed its name?" Xia Mi suddenly asked.
Zhou Minhao's expression was displeased. Why was this pretty girl asking so many questions, all about their Zhou family's most precious treasure, the "Dragon-Slaying Platform"?
So he immediately replied bluntly, "No comment."
Admittedly, this girl named Xia Mi was indeed so beautiful that she seemed otherworldly, but Zhou Minhao was also a man who loved deeply.
He had already temporarily given his heart to a girl named Jiang Wanzhi. Although he was in love with her, it was not a reason for him to betray her.
Xia Mi wasn't angry. She took two steps back and pointed to the door, "Then can I come in? This is my senior brother's room."
She looked at Zhou Minhao's still unmoved expression and said, "Moreover, as far as I know, this shouldn't be Zhou's territory! I remember that Kassel College has already booked the entire place."
Zhou Minhao's expression changed repeatedly at the thought of this. He thought of his willful head of the family and couldn't understand why she was so infatuated with this pretty boy.
Zhou Minhao was also handsome and tall, but he wasn't even considered Jiang Wanzhi's backup option.
It's heartbreaking.
However, he remained unyielding, stating, "I must stand firm in my principles..."
Before he could finish speaking, a voice came from inside the room, "Let her in!"
This is Nuwa's command.
Zhou Minhao was stunned for a moment, then stepped aside to let the girl in front of him pass.
Xia Mi skipped and hopped inside, making a funny face before leaving.
After watching Xia Mi go inside, Zhou Minhao thought of his own family head. He also wanted to go in and see what kind of person could bewitch the Nuwa.
However, after hesitating for a moment, he could only stop in his tracks, carry the sword box, and sit down again.
……
Inside the room, Xia Mi walked in and saw a girl in a crimson dress that looked like a wedding gown sitting in front of the bed. The long hem of the dress trailed on the ground, obscuring her lower body.
At the same time, standing in front of her was Xia Mi's beloved senior brother, whom she had been thinking about all night.
As Xia Mi expected, her senior brother still hadn't woken up. A huge amount of "spiritual" element was still gathered around him, and the spiritual element condensed here, dispelling all the other "earth, fire, water, and wind" elements.
If a hybrid wants to use a Word of Power here, they will be surprised to find that the Word of Power is extremely expensive. A Word of Power that can normally last for one or two hours can not even last for a few minutes here.
For most hybrids, this is also a small-scale Word of Power/Precept.
This was not unexpected for Xia Mi. In her view, it was just like her good senior brother's process of constantly "awakening".
Every dragon king goes through a period of time where he is constantly lost between humans and dragons.
On the other side, although Nuwa let Xia Mi in, she didn't say anything after she entered. She just glanced at her briefly before lowering her gaze again without speaking.
Xia Mi looked at the gaze that Nuwa was giving her and felt a strong sense of familiarity, as if she were meeting an old friend.
This piqued her curiosity, and she carefully searched her memories, but didn't find much information. The Zhou family of Xiangyang was indeed recorded in her memories, but only briefly. As the Dragon King, she never had to consider matters concerning a single family or clan.
Not getting the answer she wanted, the dragon girl frowned and asked directly, "Do we know each other?"
“No, this is probably the first time you’ve seen me,” Nuwa replied. She clearly had the appearance of a young girl, even more youthful than Xia Mi, with chubby cheeks that made one wonder if she was still a long way from coming of age. Yet, her words were surprisingly mature.
However, Nuwa didn't say much. She stared blankly at Wang Anzhi, her eyes no longer full of energy or mature demeanor, but instead filled with gentleness.
Xia Mi looked at Nuwa and asked, "Do you know my senior brother?"
“Of course, we’ve known each other for a long time,” Nuwa said decisively without hesitation.
Sunlight streamed through the window into the room. Two beautiful girls stared at each other, neither willing to open up to the other, tentatively probing for their secrets.
Xia Mi's expression became even stranger. As time slowly passed, she also sensed a strangely familiar aura emanating from the other person, but she couldn't find the source of it.
This is why she didn't come to join the fun when Nuwa rushed over last night, but instead chose to come the next day to observe this orthodox "super hybrid".
But there was still no success.
"Senior brother hasn't woken up yet, aren't you worried?" Xia Mi glanced at Nuwa. She looked at Nuwa's posture. Nuwa sat sideways on the bed, her hands gently placed on her skirt. Half of her long skirt trailed on the ground, and the other half was placed on the bed. Underneath the red tassel skirt, her legs were not visible, but rather a long, barely visible tail.
Having lived in China for so many years, she has naturally heard of the legends of Nuwa, who had a human head and a snake's body, and who mended the sky and created humans. There are countless other legends about her.
It can be said that Nuwa is a totem of this nation.
But this was the first time she had ever seen a living Nuwa.
She had previously been in contact with the Zhou family and knew their background. This family was not much different from most mixed-race families; even in ancient times, they had never existed in this form.
How come they were still able to find this person in modern times, when dragon blood has become increasingly diluted and widespread?
“Don’t worry! He just doesn’t want to wake up yet. He’ll wake up when he wants to.” Nuwa said confidently, which stunned Xia Mi, who thought she knew Wang Anzhi very well.
Then, Nuwa spoke in a low, melancholic tone:
"And he will eventually wake up."
Chapter 115 Earthquake
inside the room.
Wang Anzhi slowly opened his eyes, his mind a complete blank, with little clarity remaining.
This was his first attempt to remain permanently in that one "fragment" that remained after the historical simulation ended.
The results were encouraging.
As long as he doesn't leave, nothing can force him to leave. However, the price he pays is that his brain still feels swollen and he has a constant buzzing in his head, which is very uncomfortable.
Until he inadvertently closed his eyes, he completely lost all trace of that icy world, along with the girl named Freya.
He felt weak and powerless all over, and his hexagonal eyes were almost unable to open. He tried to lift himself up, but suddenly felt a huge force pressing down on him, making him completely unable to move.
"Alright, since you're so weak, you should rest well."
A clear, bell-like female voice came from above him, along with another familiar voice.
"Yeah, senior, did you go and be Batman last night? You've made yourself so tired."
"Nuwa? Xia Mi?" Wang Anzhi tried to speak, and at the same time slowly opened his eyes. He saw two beautiful girls holding hands and sitting in front of him, observing him with wide eyes. His already confused mind was now in a complete mess.
"Otherwise what? Do you think it's your newly acquired long-legged maid?" Nuwa seemed equally resentful of Jiude Mai, and even now she hadn't forgotten to secretly diss her.
This is understandable, as although Nuwa herself possessed a beauty comparable to Xia Mi, she also shared the same shortcomings as Xia Mi.
Wang Anzhi pondered this matter until now, and wisely refrained from bringing it up again.
Xia Mi looked at him curiously. She felt that some of her sealed memories had just been unlocked, but when she tried to recall them carefully, there was no trace of them, just a blank.
Then he asked, "Senior brother, why are you so...weak when you woke up this time?"
The dragon girl stared at him intently, convinced that there must be some secret hidden within.
"I did become Batman." Wang Anzhi didn't say it explicitly. He felt that now was not a good time to confess. He would confess when he could suppress his junior sister with one hand.
As expected, Xia Mi was not satisfied and said with a sneer, "What kind of thing goes into the alley with six legs and comes out with two?"
Wang Anzhi recalled his brother-in-law Frey, who probably now has no legs, and gritted his teeth, finding it strangely fitting.
Just as the group was bickering, the room they were in at the Regent Hotel inexplicably shook. The room's movement was so slight that it would be easily overlooked in a statistical analysis, but since the group consisted of super hybrids and dragon kings, they all noticed the slight swaying.
"Earthquake?" Xia Mi lowered her voice.
As the Queen of the Earth and Mountains, she could sense that the epicenter was coming from the west, which reminded her of the Secret Service's Kuimen Plan and Norton and Constantine, who were buried at the bottom of the Three Gorges.
Another earthquake occurred at this time.
Wang Anzhi tried hard to recall the time when the Bronze City was discovered. That time should have been after the start of the semester at Kassel College, not before Lu Mingfei had even had time to go to the United States.
What are the reasons for this?
Nuwa's expression turned serious as she tried to take out her phone, only to find, quite embarrassingly, that it was nowhere to be found.
