Chapter 285: Lord Demon King, It Looks Like There's Still an Egg Left in This Refrigerator!
As the last syllable of the Dragon Language fell, the cold cockpit was silent, with only the temperature-less text lying quietly on the pitch-black mirror.
This is a past left from a thousand years ago.
It is also the life of Captain Gutaf who drifted to an alien star.
Luo Yan quietly watched the place where the log ended, that final sentence, as if relieved of a heavy burden, still seemed to echo in the desolate cockpit.
"It's an honor, I succeeded."
But clearly—
also failed.
"The Dragon God died in the end," Youyou whispered.
Luo Yan nodded.
"Yes."
If that guy were still alive, the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom would not be in its current state. The Lizardmen here would not have regressed so severely in civilization even if they hadn't rushed into the interstellar era, certainly not worse than a thousand years ago.
After the Great Barrier was completed, something unexpected to the Dragon God must have happened here.
Gutaf apparently did not expect this log to be his last words, so many things were too late to be explained in the log.
For instance, why this hibernation chamber is covered with a pyramid.
For instance, what happened after the Great Barrier descended.
And—
what exactly the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom has been worshipping in its thousand-year-long rituals.
Watching the pondering Luo Yan, the floating Youyou let out a light sigh.
"It's unbelievable... Just due to the fear of Chaos, this guy used his power to cut out an entire continent."
Under the protection of the Great Barrier, the Armored Dragon Clan did indeed avoid the disturbance of Chaos, but it's hard to say whether the Dragon God or Chaos had the higher KD.
After reading the entire log, it didn't see any Lizardman dying from the invasion of Chaos, but rather, it saw them die again and again in Gutaf's seemingly logical but actually insane plans.
Although they themselves were created by the latter.
However, this was not a reason for Him to do as He pleases. And it is thought that his entanglement with the erosion from Chaos and ultimately dying abroad was a punishment of fate for Him.
"...There's nothing more to explore here, let's go to the next area."
Retracting his gaze from the black mirror, Luo Yan searched around the room, then turned and left here, starting to search the rest of this "relic" starship.
Although the technology used in this landing pod was like a book of heaven to him, the structure itself was not complicated, basically a three-room and one-hall layout, making the most of limited space.
Youyou, floating beside Luo Yan, seemed restless, looking around curiously at everything here.
Unfortunately, it couldn't touch anything and could only gaze eagerly at Luo Yan, hoping he could figure out what those strange instruments were for.
Is this the "divinity" inherited from the Mechanical God?
Looking at Youyou who was wildly hinting for him to press those strange buttons, Luo Yan sighed and said.
"I don't oppose your curiosity, but before we are sure of the specific functions of these buttons, we'd better not touch anything here casually."
"But, but, Lord Demon King, what if it can summon a giant dragon for you?"
Circling around Luo Yan, Youyou said excitedly.
"But a giant dragon! Riding a giant dragon... isn't it much cooler than your clumsy spider!"
Luo Yan admitted, it sounded very tempting, but he was a cautious Demon King.
"...I know, but we can't exclude another possibility, that it would take me to the sky."
It seems this landing pod is equipped with an anti-gravity device or something similar, and he doesn't want this thing flying up and then crashing again.
Even if he could withstand it, Assam City could not.
Better leave it to Oke and his goblin tech team to figure out how to make use of this advanced antique.
Arriving at a closed door, Luo Yan took out the bone staff in his hand and tapped on the door, easily passing the DNA recognition and retrieved access permission.
The silver-white door slid aside, and the milky white light soon lit up from the walls, illuminating the dim room in front of him.
From the layout here, it seems to be an experiment chamber.
Or rather—
The place where the first dragon egg was born.
The air was filled with a rancid scent, which clashed with the room's technological feel.
Luo Yan stood at the door for a moment, and waited until the ventilation system that had resumed work cleared out the suspicious odor before stepping inside.
Glancing around, his gaze quickly focused on a headless corpse.
"This is..." Youyou exclaimed softly and quickly flew to the corpse's side for a closer look.
The corpse lay quietly on an inclined bed, like an operating table.
And the bizarre thing is, his head was missing.
Not only that—
he was also missing a leg.
Luo Yan instinctively glanced at the bone staff in his hand.
Unsurprisingly, this is Mr. Gutaf's missing leg bone.
This bone could last for a thousand years without decay, not seeming like the power of technology, but more like magic—
or "Divine blessing."
"...When the tenets set by the divine are formed, even the divine themselves cannot alter them?"
Luo Yan pondered silently in his heart.
The Dragon God's skeleton, after the Dragon God's death, due to the worship of followers, automatically became a higher-grade divine artifact material than ordinary giant dragon skeletons, even gaining hardness and durability that it didn't possess when alive.
