Dragon Tamer

Chapter 749: Chapter 753: The Descendant of Pangu

He contemplated at the Cliff of Contemplation for a while.

This time, Zhu Minglang opened his eyes wide and just kept staring at the Sky Dome.

He wanted to confirm it was an illusion, after all, the sky had no reference standard, no line, no surface, its height was actually determined by how far people’s sight could reach.

Therefore, Zhu Minglang used the stars as a reference point, wanting to know if the stars were indeed getting closer to the world with each passing day and night.

Though the stars shifted with the constellations, the distance was not supposed to narrow; after all, narrowing would mean the two worlds colliding.

Ten days!

...

A full ten days of contemplation.

The reference star that Zhu Minglang had been staring at had indeed become bigger.

Most importantly, all the stars that filled the Sky Dome, their brilliance had elevated to another realm. Originally only the size of beans, the area illuminated by their glow was very limited; now those stars felt as though they formed patches like glowing pebbles in a clear stream!

The sky was too dazzling, and it was truly within one’s reach.

At the same time, Zhu Minglang also felt a pulling force, originating from the countless near stars above his head.

The stars attracted each other, with every piece of the Star Continent drawing closer over the long years…

Now, Zhu Minglang had felt this attraction!

“Below the God-state, one should not be able to sense this sort of attraction to the whole world, and the higher one stands, the more obvious the force felt…” Mr. Jinli said.

“Let’s go, continue upwards, I want to see what other tricks the heavens have up their sleeve,” Zhu Minglang said.

…

Climbing and climbing, despite all the Star Continent in the sky exerting an attracting force on the Dragon Gate World, the ascent was becoming increasingly difficult.

It was peculiar; the higher you go, the sharper and smaller the peak seemed, yet every altitude reached felt as though it expanded into a vast land with its own mountains, grasslands, slopes, snowy peaks, caves, and lakes…

Zhu Minglang was now lying on the back of the Moon Honoring, Star Responding White Dragon, hidden within its white wings.

From a certain height onwards, the wind was like the claws of a Heavenly Demon, brutally tearing and shattering anything that dared to flutter between heaven and earth. Zhu Minglang had seen a Quasi-god level being flung out of the mountain range and torn apart by the wind during the fall!

At night, Zhu Minglang had also seen that the stars were unstable, pulling on each other, causing some that were too close to wobble as if they might fall at any moment.

But in fact, some celestial bodies were already falling.

While Zhu Minglang was climbing up the snow-white peak, a brightly shining star crossed from the other side of Mount Zhi Tian!

As the celestial body neared Mount Zhi Tian, creating a huge fiery orb due to its interaction with the air, it resembled a sun!

It melted all the snow on the mountains around Zhu Minglang’s location and brushed past a rugged, strangely-shaped mountain before crashing into the earth in a catastrophic manner!!

At the point of impact was a town occupied by castaways, which in the blink of an eye was devoured by fierce light and energy. Celestial bodies collided with a sudden crash, the ground shattered thunderously, and all Zhu Minglang could see was the intense glare occupying the majority of the horizon. He felt the slight trembling of Mount Zhi Tian, and when everything had settled down to some degree, the town of the lost no longer existed. The surrounding mountains, forests, rivers had all vanished, exposing the chaotic structure of the earth’s inner layers. Subterranean rivers cascaded like waterfalls into the bottomless crater left by the celestial impact…

Before this, Zhu Minglang might not have been able to comprehend what would happen if heaven and earth kept drawing closer, but now he was completely awake!!

Sure enough, over the next few days, one star after another fell from the sky dome, and Zhu Minglang even witnessed dozens of continents failing to bear the burden and plunging into the embrace of the Dragon Gate World, countless castaways and God Chosen perishing from these celestial downfalls!

“This is our third month, and the distance between heaven and earth is getting closer and closer. Obviously, when we first entered Dragon Gate, there were some minor celestial bodies continuously falling, but they were incinerated during their descent without impacting us,” Zhu Minglang said.

“But now, some larger celestial continent-sized bodies are falling too, which in the outside world we recognize as—Skyfire Meteorites.”

“By next month, the scene might be quite terrifying, with one giant celestial body after another descending, or perhaps a barrage of shooting stars and meteor showers… Without the Void Sea as a buffer, even gods might be reduced to ash and smoke!”

The higher one climbs, the more frightening the sights become.

And from this scenario, one can anticipate what will happen next!

The height Zhu Minglang was at now was very far from the ground. The appalling sight he saw with his eyes was nothing more than an ordinary meteor light to the people on the ground. They were even busily searching for Spirit Roots, completely oblivious to the fact that heaven and earth were closing in bit by bit!

The height of Mount Zhi Tian was being compressed.

This meant that it’s not just the sky that was sinking, the earth too was being pushed upwards by some force…

Cruelly, the compression of heaven and earth made the Spirit Roots become more abundant, so more people who hadn’t yet climbed higher desperately searched for Spirit Roots scattered in the Dragon Gate World, hoping to strike it rich overnight with this blessing from the gods!

Zhu Minglang was also very troubled at this time.

He, too, wanted to roam around like everyone else, finding Spirit Roots and rapidly raising his Destiny to an extremely high Realm. Unfortunately, he had discerned the secrets of heaven and understood that if a way to stop the closing of heaven and earth wasn’t found, all the Spirit Roots in the world would be of little benefit.

“There are so many gods here, surely I’m not the only one who grasped this secret. Dragon Gate should, after all, be considered part of the God Realm. It can’t be left to a Mortal like me, who hasn’t even stepped on the threshold of godhood, to deal with this—I’m not Pangu!” Zhu Minglang complained, feeling a headache coming on.

A heavy responsibility had fallen from the sky!

The heavens were being too cryptic. If they had just told everyone earlier, all the God Chosen and gods could work together to find a solution. Yet, they allowed so many people to become obsessed with searching for Spirit Roots and enhancing their Cultivation Base.

“What if this generation of gods is unreliable?”

“But what can I do!” Zhu Minglang said.

“However, you’re climbing higher than most gods and see things more clearly. In the outside world, you are a certain distance from Superior Gods, Heavenly Gods, but inside Dragon Gate, you are the leader among the gods,” Mr. Jinli said.

“That’s really putting a newbie in a tough spot!”

“You should be excited. If you really become a Pangu of later generations, the realm you reach won’t just be that of a minor Star Shine God!” Mr. Jinli said.
