Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

In the white snow curtain, one can vaguely see the military camp that Lord Wa mentioned just now. In the military camp is an entire heavily armed synthetic battalion. One can imagine the despair of a noble ancient species when it finally spreads its wings and is ready to roar at the world after a long slumber, but is covered and drowned by the oncoming saturation artillery fire.

So this is why the abandoned people have to return, die and return again forever. This world is getting farther and farther away from them, and their former slaves are becoming more and more powerful.

One day, the Supreme Black Emperor will also be amazed at the changes of the times.

The elevator stopped at the 99th floor, and with a ding, the metal doors opened to both sides. "It is actually very troublesome to build such a huge building inside Xirang. It took more than ten years just to lay the foundation." said Lord Wa.

The dazzling incandescent lights were lit up from far to near in the huge space. There were floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides. Looking out, it felt like being in the clouds.

This is indeed the core of the entire Nibelung. It is not as mysterious as the endless Penrose-like viaduct in Odin's kingdom of the dead. Instead, it exudes a magnificent atmosphere. The small buildings made of blue bricks extend in different directions, forming an endless Bagua formation.

"It looks like a botanical garden." Ling said suddenly.

This floor has excellent lighting and is filled with a variety of potted plants. Chlorophytum comosum is planted on the inner eaves of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and orchids are in full bloom. Osmanthus flowers are also in full bloom nearby, and the cool floral fragrance in the air is refreshing.

"My home used to be like this, but I was away for too long and it was abandoned when I returned. After the Xirang construction plan started, I thought about replicating a similar place here." Lord Wa put his hands behind his back, and although he looked small, he looked very old.

She led Lu Mingfei and Ling through various flower beds, and finally found a small office in the artificial woods that was separated by a ceiling-high bookshelf. The bookshelf was filled with original books that Lu Mingfei could not understand, some of which were made of parchment, some had yellowed edges, and some were even ancient bamboo slips. An automatic lift with wheels was placed next to the bookshelf. It seemed that Lord Wa was also a person who loved reading.

The office was different from what Lu Mingfei had imagined. In the middle was a huge, soft and comfortable bed with a white velvet quilt scattered all over the bed in one corner. On one side were top-of-the-line gaming desks and chairs and computers. Behind the transparent glass of the freezer were neatly stacked cola, orange juice and small bottles of rice wine, plum wine and osmanthus wine. There was not much room to step on the solid wood floor. Scattered there were thin stockings and indecipherable little skirts.

Perhaps it was because she had become more open-minded as she got older, Wa Lord calmly used her narrow snake tail to clear a path in the room leading to the oversized sofa beside the bed. Only then did Lu Mingfei see clearly that it was a white tail with some pink patterns, and the scales were crystal clear and almost transparent.

"Sit down, have a drink and we'll talk slowly." Lord Wa pointed at the sofa with the tip of her tail.

"I thought we should at least hold a meeting in the conference hall for such a big event as charging into Nibelung and killing Odin..." Lu Mingfei was still a little nervous after sitting down. Wazhu held two bottles of osmanthus wine and handed them to Lu Mingfei and Ling. "You mean those youngsters? They listen to me on such matters." She said.

"There are many entrances to Xirang. Every path in the Bagua Formation is a signpost leading to a certain family stronghold. We will call people after we have discussed the details." Lord Wa coiled up his snake's tail and sat upright on the bed, looking very excited.

Lu Mingfei was shocked. He had heard many things in this sentence. What he meant was that Xirang was actually a space that could connect most of the mixed-blood families in the country. Their mobilization and execution capabilities were far superior to those of the academy. This also meant that once a conflict broke out between an organization and the orthodoxy, he might have to face a beating from all corners of the country.

Lord Wa was quietly demonstrating how powerful she was, enough to kill Odin and enough to protect Lu Mingfei from the high pressure of the secret party.

Lu Mingfei sipped the osmanthus wine in small sips. Ling hesitated and said, "Why did you ask us to help you with this?"

"It's not you, it's him." The little girl pouted at Lu Mingfei, "You don't have the mark left by Odin. Only those who have that mark can enter the Nibelung."

The night watchman said that those who have entered the realm of the dead can always enter it again, just like a medium communicating between different worlds at the boundary between day and night. There has never been an exception in the world. Those who can enter Nibelung are chosen people, either designated as slaves or designated as enemies. Obviously, Lu Mingfei is the latter.

"That's a reason that's worthy of trust, but I still have a question. I'm not the only one in this city who has entered the Nibelung. Why did you choose me? Did you only learn about Odin's activities in this city recently?"

2004年7月3日0407号台风蒲公英登陆合肥，据楚子航所说他和楚天骄就是在那一天于0号高架路上遭遇奥丁。

That is to say, Odin, the king of the ocean and water, has been active in China since 2004 or earlier, after playing Han Xin in the Han Dynasty, Deng Yu in the founding period of the Western Han Dynasty, and Yao Guangxiao, the black-robed prime minister in the Ming Chengzu period.

The oppression that Wa brought to Lu Mingfei was no less than any Odin he had ever met, and even no less than the juvenile Supreme Norton. Moreover, she also controlled the Nibelungen, a land of peace that Lu Mingfei had no idea how huge it was, and had a deep understanding of the Kingdom of the Dead, the epitome of alchemy. It made no sense that she had not realized until now that such a huge monster was hiding in the shallow water beside them.

"To be precise, we first discovered Odin's whereabouts in the country in the autumn of 1985, which was the same year when Chu Tianjiao, whom you are investigating now, left Chicago for Japan." Wazhu drank orange juice with a straw, looking very satisfied.
"The orthodox people launched several relatively secret encirclement and suppression operations, but we were unable to enter Odin's Nibelungen, so in the end, nothing came of it... One of the families that participated in the operation later went to vigorously develop overseas business. They are the family of your girlfriend Chen Motong."

Lu Mingfei's eyelids drooped, and his pupils shrank slightly in the shadow that neither Ling nor Wa could see.

Probably no one in the world can see through fate, but Lu Mingfei knows that in another time and space that is completely different from the present, Nuonuo accepted the arrangement of her family and embarked on a path of marriage with Caesar.

At this time, it is known that Odin is one of the kings of the ocean and water, and his identity in the hybrid world is Pompey Gattuso. If Nono's family had joined the siege against Pompey, would the Chen family of that generation have had the opportunity to face Odin alone? Is it possible that they had actually reached some kind of deal, and Nono was just a victim in this political class?
"In 2004, Chu Tianjiao and his son Chu Zihang encountered Odin. With your means and abilities, you should be able to investigate this matter. The first time I broke into the gap between Nibelung and the real world was two years ago. Chu Zihang was already a marked person long before me. Why didn't you seek his help?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Lord Wa looked up at Lu Mingfei with a strange expression on her face.

"You don't think it's easy to reverse-decode the Nibelungen Gate, do you? Even if you break into the viaduct with the beacon, it will take at least an hour for our tanks to get in. Can an ordinary half-blood like your friend hold out in Odin's lair for an hour?" she said.

Both of them were silent. After a moment, Ling held Lu Mingfei's hand and looked up at the pupils of Wazhu. "If you tell him that doing this can help him get revenge, maybe he can." She said, "Some people are born with a sword that has been tempered a thousand times. I have seen Chu Zihang's information in the archives. He was just an ordinary person with bloodline B at the beginning. It was only by constantly using violent blood that his bloodline was approaching the limit little by little. If you tell him, 'You hold on to the bridge for an hour and we will use a nuclear bomb to flatten Odin's lair,' then he might really be able to do it."

"But he will die if he does that." Lord Wa shrugged.

Ling looked at her coldly: "Do you also care about the lives of ordinary people?"

"Why don't you care?" Lord Wa asked, glancing at Ling. "Aren't we protecting this world to keep ordinary people away from those dark things?" The snow was getting heavier, and dense ice chips hit the glass. Lu Mingfei turned his head to look at the white outside the window.

Wazhu leaned lazily on the bed. She covered her mouth and yawned, then raised her eyebrows to look at the silhouette of the man. Although he was still immature, he was no longer the little brat who would pee on her when she held him in her arms more than ten years ago. When Lu Mingfei was concentrating, his profile was as hard as a marble statue.

"You know that I am actually in league with the Dragon King, right?"

"Yes, Jörmungandr, the king of the earth and mountains. I also know that her core is in you."

"Then aren't you worried that I might betray you after I enter the Nibelungen?"

"Don't worry. You have a grudge against Odin, and I have a grudge against him too. We can kill him together." Lord Wa said lightly.

"There are three Odins."

"I know, killing one counts as one... Do you want to know why there are three?" said Lord Wa.

Lu Mingfei drank to suppress his restlessness and uneasiness. Odin controlled the puppets through masks, but why could he make those puppets reach the level of the first generation?
This is what the academy has been trying to figure out, and it is also a mystery that Lu Mingfei cannot figure out.

"You know?" he asked.

"Look at the distribution of these buildings inside Xirang, what do they look like?" Lord Wa asked back.

"Gossip?"

"Yes." The little girl nodded vigorously, with some reminiscence on her face. "Fuxi, who created the Eight Trigrams, expressed all the known elements, alchemy and words with trigrams. No matter which trigram, it can analyze the most core and unknown truth of dragon civilization. When he did this, he observed the eight kings at that time and hid the authority of each dragon king in the Eight Trigrams. Then there were Qian, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun and Dui. The eight kings of the four elements together formed the cornerstone of the world."

"I know every word you said, but when they are put together, it immediately becomes clear that I can't reach you." Lu Mingfei felt quite ashamed.

"The balance of the Eight Trigrams is achieved through the unity of opposites of Yin and Yang. The unity and transformation of opposites of Yin and Yang is the fundamental law of the operation of heaven and earth. All movements in the world are manifestations of this movement. The so-called hexagram is actually the external manifestation of the balance of Yin and Yang. No matter which hexagram it is, it is within the scope of the world. But what if one day one of the Eight Trigrams in the world suddenly disappears?"

"What do you mean?"

"When yin and yang are out of balance, the world will turn upside down." Wazhu's face became serious. Even if such a baby face became serious, it was really hard to be intimidated.

“History and destiny are an intertwined double helix structure. If yin and yang are out of balance, destiny will be out of balance. Then something must constrain history… We call it a major constrainer-level event in history.”

"Twilight of the Gods..."

"You know a lot." Wazhu looked at Lu Mingfei with a little surprise, "But, yes, you are right. The so-called great restraint-level event in history is the myth and legend passed down by the barbarians in the Scandinavian Peninsula, the Twilight of the Gods."

"What does Ragnarok mean?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"The Black King has returned." Lord Wa shrugged. "He is the father of the kings and the will of this world. Rather than saying that the Black King is destined to return, it is better to say that if this world does not have the Black King, it will give birth to another Black King. He will put everything back on track and take back all power. Yin and Yang and the elements will once again turn into a torrent of chaos, which is... the glorious destruction of the world, the end of the Fifth Sun Era."

Lu Mingfei felt a little dry in the mouth. He was gradually getting closer to the truth of the world, so much so that Ling, whose wrist was held by him, had to grit his teeth so as not to show the slight pain he was experiencing on his face.

"But what does this have to do with the three Odins?"

"Because he has obtained the dragon bone crosses of his two brothers." Lord Wa's voice suddenly became as cold as ice.

"The other king of the ocean and water was killed in the coffin shortly after he fell into a deep sleep, and he also got Li Wu Yue's dragon bones," she said.

"My education at the Academy taught me..."

"I'm telling you that if a dragon king devours the bones of another dragon king, he will evolve, right?" Wa said with disdain, "They haven't even seen many true first-generation species, let alone true second-generation species. How dare they talk about what a king should be like?"

When saying these words, the little girl immediately became majestic, and a supreme aura flowed in her pupils.

"When the Black King created the four monarchs, he left them the only way to evolve, which is to devour the brothers on the same throne. The fusion of their respective powers will become the new Supreme. But some ambitious people are not willing to be just the Supreme. They want to become the new Black King." Wa Lord snorted coldly, "Odin is such an ambitious person, but it was not until he devoured Li Wuyue's dragon bone that he realized what taboo he had violated. The twilight of the gods entered the countdown ahead of time, so he had to divide the authority he had obtained and temporarily entrust it to other carriers."

So Chu Tianjiao got a share of Li Wuyue's power, while Pasi Gattuso got a share of the power of another king of the ocean and water. (End of this chapter)
