Monarch Of Time

Chapter 56 - 56 Shun Long and the Black Dragon

Shun Long didnʼt ask anything as the black dragon continued explaining

ʼʼAlthough dragons will donʼt submit to humans, as a newborn with no one else to rely on, master became my only family. That was when I first decided to follow master.

Master helped me grow and after almost 1000 years of cultivation and the continuous consumption of mountains of pills and natural treasures, I had finally reached a level where I was just slightly weaker than master.

That was when master decided for us to go to the Dragon Realm and find out more about my origins. After all, it didnʼt make sense for a dragon to be born alone, outside of the Dragon Realm, and with no seniors to protect him.ʼʼ

Then the black dragonʼs eyes turned chilly as an aura of murder radiated from his body that made even the surrounding space to tremble

ʼʼHowever that was when we met HIM.ʼʼ

The black dragon then stopped speaking as his body was now trembling from rage, his eyes having turned hazy with a hint of bloodl.u.s.t as he remembered those scenes.

ʼʼWho are you talking about?ʼʼ Seeing that the black dragon wasnʼt speaking anymore, Shun Long couldnʼt hold in his curiosity and decided to ask

As the black dragon heard Shun Longʼs voice, his hazy and bloodshot eyes became clear again as he answered

ʼʼThe person who called himself my father. One of the nine emperors of the Dragon Realm, Long Tianyu.

As soon as we met him, he tried to kill me without any hesitation or reason, and he and master then ended up fighting for 7 full days and nights.

Since no winner could be determined in the end, Long Tianyu and master stopped fighting. However, before he left Long Tianyu looked at master and spat out
.

Master then replied without any hesitation .

After that you brought me away as we left the Dragon Realm.

Since then, I followed behind master as we traveled the world and explored many different ruins until one day we entered a place called ʼThe ruins of the universeʼ. In there, we nearly died before master found the ʼStone of Timeʼ.ʼʼ

ʼʼAre you sure that the person back then had something to do with me? Also what exactly is the ʼStone of Timeʼ ?ʼʼ

The Black Dragon resolutely nodded his head at Shun Longʼs question before saying

ʼʼMaster you will understand everything as soon as I finish explaining things.ʼʼ

Shun Long nodded and let the Dragon continue speaking

ʼʼThe ʼStone of Timeʼ is one of the supreme treasures of the universe. Nobody knows exactly what it is, but it is said that inside it lies the secret to become a God...ʼʼ

Shun Long couldnʼt resist asking

ʼʼDo gods really exist then?ʼʼ

The Black Dragon shook his head as he said

ʼʼI donʼt know master, however it was said that inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ lies the secret for a person to ascend to Godhood. There are other rumors as well, claiming that the ʼStone of Timeʼ is the key to enter another world.

Nobody knows if they are true or not, but one thing is for sure: the ʼStone of Timeʼ is truly a mysterious and supreme treasure.

There are always numerous people exploring the ʼRuins of the Universeʼ at all times, and people happened to see that master obtained a peerless treasure before we could leave the ruins.

In their greed, many powerhouses banded together to attack master and in the end our only choice was to flee.

As the ʼStone of Timeʼ merged with master and became a part of your soul, the situation back then had reached a point where almost one tenth of all the powerhouses in the universe were chasing us.

However, as masterʼs soul was fusing with the ʼStone of Timeʼ, your strength was also rapidly increasing. And yet, in the end, an old monster that was in seclusion, heard about master finding a priceless treasure and joined in on the chase. Although master could probably fight him off one on one, we couldnʼt win against so many enemies.

As we were cornered then, master took a huge gamble.

Activating the ʼStone of Timeʼ, master placed me inside this space, before you also sealed part of your memories inside the stone. These memories then became a golden book. A third of masterʼs soul had also been sealed inside that.

After master sealed me and the golden book inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ, master also split the remaining two-thirds of your soul in 2 parts. After that, master, detonated his body as well as his remaining cultivation, while sending the 3 parts of your soul in different directions. ʼʼ

The black Dragonʼs eyes were now glistening with tears as he remembered that scene.

There was a huge explosion as the enemies around them had turned to dust.

Shun Longʼs eyes widened as he connected the rest of the dots.

He died on earth, almost at the same time as the other part of his soul died in the ʼMortal worldʼ. The 2 parts of his soul merged, and the third and last one, that was inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ also found him and merged with him.

Shun Long couldnʼt believe what the Black Dragon was saying, and yet deep inside he knew that it was most likely the truth. After all, why else would the ʼStone of Timeʼ merge with him out of nowhere? But the most important reason that made Shun Long completely trust the black dragon... was that he could sense that the dragon was connected to him.

Shun Long took a deep breath as he asked

ʼʼAssuming that everything you said so far is the truth, why did you ask me if I wanted power the first time you met me? Why did you ask me what my goal was? And... why can I sense your emotions?ʼʼ
