Chapter 625: 314: Devouring the holy relic?_3

After countless years of seduction,

the bright and righteous, supremely powerful dragon finally had a vivid dream one day.

Even though it was just a small vivid dream, and extremely vague,

it signified that the great dragon now harbored desires, marking the root of its corruption.

For something perfect, even the slightest imperfection was a massive flaw.

Even though, after awakening, the dragon immediately stripped the vivid dream from its spirit and sealed it away completely,

it still could not change the fact that it had developed desires, however minute they might have been.

Then, in the struggle against the Dark Monarch and his demons, it began to suffer defeats.

And as the guardian deity that never should have faltered, its defeat directly led to the world turning upside down.

Demon blood surged forth, time and again destroying human civilization.

Of course, countless years have passed.

Now, in this world, there is neither the dragon nor the demons,

leaving only a desolate world, the arduous rise of human civilization, and the scattered Demon Barbarian Tribes.

And the dragon’s little vivid dream was completely sealed away, lost without a trace.

Unbeknownst to all, this dream of corruption was sealed within the Butu Tower.

Rumor had it that an energy entity sealed away the vivid dream, not expecting it to turn into a tangible sky-reaching tower at this time.

How many years have passed since then, tens of thousands? Or even longer?

In this world, nothing can escape the ravages of time, including energy.

Through the dissipation over countless years, the energy of the dragon’s dream of corruption is now probably next to nothing.

Because, according to the records, Pagoda Island only appeared in this world nine years ago. Before that, it was but a vast ocean.

In the years prior, Pagoda Island existed all the same, but anyone passing by was misdirected and obscured by its energy field and would never see the island.

Nine years ago, the energy of the dragon’s dream of corruption completely dwindled, thus no longer able to conceal and shield the entirety of Pagoda Island, leading to its discovery by the world.

And the Demon Continent was the first to discover Pagoda Island and the Butu Tower, so they completely sealed off the area.

They sent countless people in, but not a single one returned alive.

For entering the Butu Tower meant fully succumbing to desire, burning out and dying.

For the dragon, it was merely a small vivid dream.

But for those who entered, it was an overwhelming sea of desires.

It was also fortunate that after so many years of dissipation, the spiritual energy of the dragon’s dream of corruption had significantly waned.

Otherwise, humanity upon entering would likely be incinerated by desire in an instant.

And this dream of the dragon’s corruption is probably one of the most unique Dragon Mark relics in the world.

...

Zhi Yan stood up, her gaze lost in the orb of the dragon’s dream of corruption.

How beautiful, how mysterious the play of light and shadow was.

Just one glance was enough to make a person succumb.

And there it was, floating in mid-air, just one foot away from Zhi Yan, within reach.

Zhi Yan couldn’t help but reach out her hand, involuntarily moving towards it.

But she quickly came to her senses and withdrew!

Although most of the dragon’s dream’s energy had dissipated, it still contained an incredibly strong spiritual power, filled with endless desires.

Entering the Butu Tower, even nearing this dream of corruption, Zhi Yan could easily resist the onslaught of desire, because she was without wants or wishes.

But if she were to touch this dream of corruption, she feared the terrifying energy would seep into her body.

Even the desireless Zhi Yan would be utterly devoured by the flames of desire!

But then again...

Desire was exactly what Zhi Yan lacked. If she were to become a Holy Maiden, it would certainly be best for her to remain without wants.

But now, having left the Dragon Temple and returned to the secular world,

she must eventually become the queen of the Rage Wave Kingdom, where she could no longer be devoid of desires.

And the biggest problem, the greatest obstacle in her relationship with Suo Lun, was her lack of desires.

She always said she wanted to be a normal woman.

Now in front of her was the best opportunity, perhaps the only one.

To reach out and touch this dream of corruption, to devour it, or rather, to be devoured by it.

As for the consequences of consuming this dream of desire?

Perhaps, that was exactly the consequence.
