Time, fate? Or... Lu Mingfei was startled by his own thoughts, but if he didn't think this way, it would be impossible to explain why he had been set up before he was even born.
Only when one's own birth is fixed and inevitable, and then the behind-the-scenes players, through methods incomprehensible to normal people, become aware of one's existence, do they begin to make their plans.
"This seems a bit outrageous, doesn't it? If they have such power, why bother with all this planning?"
Lu Mingfei was very puzzled. Their power had expanded to such an extent that, theoretically speaking, they were close to being omnipotent.
The system offered a different analysis: "...Perhaps it's not for creation, but for prevention?..."
Lu Mingfei looked at his own body and it seemed quite reasonable.
After all, his body was just too outrageous. He could activate the power of words without any bloodline. Without the help of the system and the little devil, he might never have known that he had such a big secret.
"Could Lu Mingze be one of them?"
[...It's possible. Assistance can be categorized as positive or negative. The help he provides could potentially lead the host astray onto a different path, and there's a high probability of success...]
"Um……"
Lu Mingfei seemed to understand.
On the other hand, the system doesn't react as if anything is wrong; instead, it continues its relentless analysis, focusing on a single lead and digging deep into the problem.
[...Let's make an assumption first: that the existence of a host might hinder the interests of everyone...]
[...Assuming they couldn't obtain the final piece of the pie without a host, this explains why they quietly pushed forward without ever intending to kill the host along the way...]
【…】
"Even the Bronze and Fire Kings weren't qualified to participate? The mighty Dragon King was actually tricked..."
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh as he thought of Constantine, whom he had just killed.
Then, when he thought that the White King's remains were also part of someone else's plan, he suddenly felt that the two brothers, the Bronze and Fire Kings, didn't seem so important anymore.
How many hunters are behind this?
After the system analyzed the data, it didn't provide answers, but rather more questions.
If someone were to glance at all of these convoluted answers, they would probably be completely confused.
Lu Mingfei, who fell into deep thought after asking a couple of questions, successfully caught the attention of Su Enxi and the others.
After all, he had just asked some sensitive questions and then fell into deep thought. It seems like he had found something crucial!
Jiude Mai lightly kicked Su Enxi underwater and gave her a look, asking, "What is Lu Mingfei thinking right now?"
Su Enxi shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know.
After all, few people can truly figure out what the person in front of them is thinking. No matter how strong your analytical skills are, you can't withstand someone's random thoughts in a moment!
However, Lu Mingfei communicated with the system very quickly. He only paused briefly in front of Zero before finishing the conversation in his mind.
"Hehe..." He suddenly chuckled, then asked a question, "Zero, what is your biggest dream in this life?"
This question... A hint of hesitation flashed in Zero's eyes, and he didn't know whether he should give a serious answer.
But she didn't hesitate much and said, "I don't know."
The proper answer is: I don't know.
An informal answer would be: I don't know.
Lu Mingfei seemed somewhat surprised: "Someone as talented as you, don't you have any ideals or anything?"
Zero honestly said, "Ideals are too distant and ethereal for me. Right now, I just want to do the things in front of me well and won't put too much energy into this somewhat ethereal issue."
There were indeed some special factors behind her following Lu Mingze, but apart from those special factors, she didn't have any other thoughts.
Although she is an extremely powerful elite hybrid, she is essentially just a bit smarter, not someone who has grasped the ultimate truth of the world.
Her goal was to follow Lu Mingze. She didn't care what Lu Mingze did; she would just do whatever Lu Mingze did... So she had no idea what she wanted to do.
"It's nothing, I just find it a bit strange." Lu Mingfei slowly floated backward, leaving the woman's side.
"We seem to have talked about this before, right? Lu Mingfei, what are your ideals?" Su Enxi asked. "You don't know either, do you?"
"Maybe, perhaps, maybe?" Lu Mingfei smiled slightly, then climbed ashore after his body reached the shore and said, "I'm going back now. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do."
"Oh, okay, then you go back to work. We won't hold you back, Boss Lu."
After saying goodbye, Lu Mingfei put on his clothes, got into his car and went back. But in the car, he took out his phone and called Angers, asking him a question: "How many Dragon Kings have been resurrected, as can be accurately recorded now?"
After hearing the question, Angers hesitated for a moment and said, "It might be three or four."
Li Wuyue is one, the Crown Prince is one, and there's one in the Greenland Sea... Odin is someone's alias, or maybe he's independent?
Anyway, either three or four Dragon Kings have been resurrected.
When Lu Mingfei heard that there were three or four, he immediately started calculating.
Dragon Kings are twins. If one of them is revived, the other is likely to be revived as well. Normally, their good brothers and sisters would not abandon them and leave them in danger.
After all, the dragon egg is in a very dangerous state and has no ability to fight against the Dragon King.
"The King of Bronze and Fire is in my hands. As for the King of Sky and Wind, besides Odin, I don't know who the other one is. There's one in the Greenland Sea. If the siblings revived together, there would be two. At least six dragon kings have been revived. There's only one throne left. Could they have already been killed?"
???
Lu Mingfei was suddenly filled with questions.
After all, the Dragon King has almost fully awakened, isn't that the clarion call for the full revival of the Dragon Clan?
If he doesn't wake up now, what's the difference between that and waiting to die? It's practically a repeat of Operation Garden Market!
Chapter 223 Promotion Channels
With most of the Dragon Kings awake, those who haven't awakened are just food on the table, waiting to be divided up by the Dragon Kings who have already awakened.
After all, nurturing a powerful dragon body takes time. That's where the advantage of being an early adopter lies. You've just parachuted down from the plane in the sky and opened your parachute when the enemies on the ground are already loaded with guns, bullets, and scopes. It's as easy as eating at a buffet...
For example, Constantin was forced to wake up only when someone attacked him at his doorstep. If it were just some ordinary mixed-race people attacking him, he would still have a chance to fight back and escape. But if he encountered someone like Lu Mingfei, he would be directly smashed with a Dragon Bone Cross.
Norton, who was hiding on Don Quixote's body, was also discovered by Odin. However, Odin was probably cautious and didn't directly intervene with his main body, but instead sent a puppet, which gave Norton a chance to struggle...
It's hard to say exactly what happened. After all, once Odin was exhausted by the puppet, he could go and pick up Norton, who had completely exhausted his power... Could it be that he was also part of the plan?
Lu Mingfei began to ponder.
While Lu Mingfei was still analyzing and pondering these "trivial matters," the system was not analyzing these useless things, but rather how to strengthen itself more quickly.
The enemy has already appeared. What are you waiting for if you don't want to strengthen yourself as soon as possible?
Not all dragon kings are as easy to kill as Constantine. The newly born Constantine possessed royal power but lacked sufficient strength. As long as the obstacle of royal power can be overcome, any powerful enemy can still defeat Constantine.
So, how can we quickly, extremely quickly, enhance Lu Mingfei's strength?
In an instant, the system thought of the Dragon Bone Cross in its hand, the Constantine Dragon Bone Cross, which contained the royal power of the King of Bronze and Fire.
And what about Old Tang? Faced with this situation, is there any way to temporarily revive Norton?
Just like the little devil controlling Lu Mingfei, the Dragon King-level power can only be used for emergency rescue for a short time. It is completely impossible to completely master this power and roam freely in the vast world.
The two brothers have such a deep bond that if they can control Constantine, they can naturally control Norton as well. However, the little devil isn't cooperating; the Constantine who strips the Dragon King of his throne hasn't been created yet...
Is this another little devil's scheme? Making another promise, not that they won't keep it, but they're just stalling for time... It's disgusting.
As expected, one must rely on oneself. The system returned to the city, dug out the bronze box hidden in the wall, and then activated its Word of Power to run outside.
After bringing Constantine's Dragon Bone Cross back, the system didn't keep it with it. Instead, it used its speed to run outside and hide the thing well away from the outside.
Leaving this thing in the city is practically suicide! Odin's Nibelungen just suffered a massive collapse after a great battle, creating a huge anomaly. It might be noticed by someone with ulterior motives. If a dragon king-level being were to come over here and smell this dragon bone cross, that would be hilarious.
The system then places the Dragon Bone Cross in the Seven Deadly Sins Weapon Box.
This weapon case, crafted by Norton, contains the weapons he used to slaughter his siblings. The materials should be of good quality, at least enough to evade ordinary searches.
This dragon bone cross is the skeleton of Constantine after he died in the form of a child. It is not very large in shape, which is why it can fit into the weapon case.
After confirming that they had left the center of the whirlpool in Binhai, the system opened the weapon case. The skeleton still lay quietly inside, untouched by anyone else's theft or replacement.
The system took a look, extracted a drop of Dragon King's blood, and then broke off a piece of withered bone from its finger without hesitation.
We absolutely must make this the focus of our research.
……
Inside the lab, Old Tang saw Lu Mingfei, who had suddenly returned. "Hey, boss, when did you get back? And what are you holding?"
"Come with me first," the system said calmly. "I have an idea."
"what?"
Old Tang scratched his head. Although he didn't know what had happened, he still kept up with his boss.
Once inside a sealed room, the system said, "This is the blood and bones of the Dragon King from Constantine. The dragon bones were removed from the Dragon Bone Cross."
"hiss?"
Old Tang gasped when he heard this, but then realized that he wasn't surprised at all... not even a little bit. After all, he was someone who had experienced Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, personally controlling the ship and fighting against the Dragon King puppet of the King of Sky and Wind. This kind of thing was nothing to him.
It was certainly not to the point of being utterly shocked.
The system said directly, "The situation outside is not good right now. The Dragon Kings have basically recovered, but no one knows the overall recovery status of the Dragon Clan. However, I feel that the leaders have recovered, and they will probably recover soon."
"Hiss! Boss, you mean..."
Old Tang was truly taken aback, and his heart was deeply shaken.
He had studied the Dragon Clan's information, so he was well aware of the threat of the Dragon Clan's full resurgence. But being so close to them, this was the first time he had ever heard of it!
"Yes, the situation is actually quite critical now. Perhaps nothing will happen, but no one can guarantee that nothing will happen. All we can do is continuously strengthen ourselves to face the drastic changes that may occur next."
"Mhm." Old Tang nodded, his expression turning serious, because this involved his own interests, and in a very serious way.
This damn life... I've been poor for over 20 years, finally started to get rich, and now it's the end of the world? I've only just started making money, and I haven't even had a chance to enjoy it properly!
It's a case of enduring all the bitterness but not being able to enjoy anything... tragic.
He asked, "So, boss, what's your plan?"
"Only the Dragon King can fight against the Dragon King. The power of the king is too special and powerful." The system said, "In legends, possessing the Dragon King's Dragon Bone Cross can grant one access to the Dragon King's power. I wonder if you have unearthed any related information from Norton's memories?"
Upon hearing this, Old Tang closed his eyes and focused all his energy on recalling those memories… After a while, he opened his eyes and shook his head: “There is absolutely no mention of any related memories. I guess it might be true, but Norton doesn’t want me to know the specifics?”
"How do you feel like it's real?"
