My carefree life in space

Chapter 246 The Hope of the Dragon Clan

The Grand Elder looked at the pained Cangwu and suddenly thought of something. A glimmer of hope appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. When the Black Dragon committed evil, our clan's fire was moved and sealed away. It did not perish with our people."

Cangwu was overjoyed upon hearing this and eagerly asked, "Where are they? Are they alright now?"

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze also breathed a sigh of relief. If the dragon race were really wiped out, it would be a great loss to the entire world.

"Please follow me!" The elder led the way.

As the black dragon disappeared, the power sealing Dragon Island gradually weakened. The surrounding ice crystals began to melt slowly, turning into drops of clear water that fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The two people and the dragon followed the Grand Elder along a winding path. Deep within Dragon Island lay a vast lake. The lake's water was crystal clear, and the sand, pebbles, and aquatic plants at the bottom were clearly visible.

Giant lotus flowers float on the lake, their petals as white as snow and emitting a faint fragrance.

"This place is so beautiful!" Lin Shushu exclaimed. Mo Ze nodded, his eyes also filled with appreciation and admiration: "Yes, this place is simply a paradise on earth."

Upon hearing their words, Cangwu suppressed his sorrow and looked nostalgic. "Ten thousand years ago, this place was even more beautiful. Not only that, but it also had abundant resources and great power."

At this moment, the Grand Elder pointed to the center of the lake and said, "Your Majesty, when we decided to fight the Black Dragon to the death, we gathered all the dragon eggs in the clan, hid them in the lake, and set up an array to protect them. Now they are the hope of our clan." His words were filled with excitement.

Having said that, he stepped into the lake first, followed closely by Lin Shushu and the others. As they approached the formation, a strong, malevolent aura assaulted their senses, making them want to vomit. The Grand Elder's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Cangwu in alarm.

Cangwu had a bad feeling. He hurriedly used his magic to dispel the fog and try to see the situation inside the formation.

As the mist dissipated, everyone witnessed a heartbreaking scene. Inside the formation, hundreds of dragon eggs floated silently, their once smooth surfaces now covered with black cracks, as if corroded by an evil force.

Each dragon egg had lost its former luster, becoming dull and lifeless, emitting a faint aura, clearly indicating that its vitality had been severely eroded and it was on the verge of death.

"This...how is this possible?" the Grand Elder muttered to himself, his face filled with shock and despair. He never imagined that the black dragon's resentment would be so powerful that even their carefully set seal could not withstand it.

Cangwu looked at the dragon eggs and felt a pang of pain in his heart. He had thought he could lead the dragon race to new glory, but now these dragon eggs were facing the threat of death, and the future of the dragon race had once again become bleak.

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze exchanged a glance. They knew the importance of these dragon eggs to the dragon race and understood Cangwu's feelings at this moment.

"Let's work together and figure out a way to save the dragon eggs," Lin Shushu comforted her.

However, saving these dragon eggs was no easy task. They carefully studied the formation, trying to find a way to break the black dragon's resentment.

Lin Shushu continuously used the power of the stars to try to purify the evil aura on the dragon egg, but each time it was in vain. As soon as the power of the stars touched the dragon egg, it was bounced back by the powerful resentment.

Mo Ze attempted to sever the connection between the dragon egg and the resentment with his sword energy, but to no avail. The resentment clung to the dragon egg like a maggot, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not completely eradicate it.

Time ticked by, the dragon egg's breath grew weaker and weaker, and Cangwu's face grew increasingly grim. He was frantic with worry, yet utterly clueless. Was the dragon race truly destined for extinction in this catastrophe? His heart was filled with resentment.

Cangwu closed his eyes tightly, his mind racing as he desperately searched the depths of his distant memories for any possible clues. Suddenly, a long-forgotten piece of information flashed through his mind like lightning—an ancient secret technique known only to successive Dragon Emperors.

Legend has it that this secret technique is extremely mysterious and powerful. The Dragon Emperor used it at the cost of burning his divine soul, and it can eliminate all evil forces in the world. However, the price is also extremely terrible. The person who casts the spell will die as quickly as a candle in the wind after the spell is completed.

Cangwu suddenly opened his eyes, a resolute glint in them. He gazed at the dying dragon eggs, his heart filled with mixed emotions. These dragon eggs carried the future and hope of the dragon race; if they perished, the dragon race would never have a chance to revive.

"For the Dragon Clan, it's all worth it," Cangwu murmured to himself, his tone firm and without the slightest hesitation.

He slowly ascended into the air, his body radiating a soft and warm golden light—a unique symbol of the Dragon Emperor's power. The light grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire Dragon Island.

Seeing this, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze, though not understanding Cangwu's intentions, knew it was definitely not a good thing, and hurriedly advised, "Senior, you mustn't!"

The Grand Elder was also in tears, his voice trembling: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed! The Dragon Clan cannot lose you again!"

However, Cangwu simply smiled and shook his head, saying softly, "This is the only way. Rest assured, as long as the dragon race can continue, I will die without regret."

Having said that, Cangwu made a series of complex hand seals while chanting incantations. With his movements, the golden light became increasingly dazzling, gradually transforming into strands of golden silk that spread towards the dragon egg.

The moment the silk thread touched the dragon egg, the originally dull and lifeless egg trembled slightly, as if it had gained a glimmer of life.

Seeing the changes in the dragon egg, Cangwu was overjoyed and became even more determined in his decision. He gritted his teeth, disregarding the severe depletion of his divine soul, and accelerated the circulation of his power, continuously generating more golden threads that surged towards the dragon egg.

Each golden thread that enters the dragon eggs is like a life-giving spring, making the dragon eggs more and more vibrant.

Seeing this, Lin Shushu did not hesitate to use the power of the stars to help Cangwu. She moved her hands quickly, the Star Mirror shone brightly, and the power of the stars transformed into a dazzling stream of light, flowing into the dragon egg along with Cangwu's golden threads.

This time, with Cangwu's groundwork laid, the power of the stars entered the dragon egg without any obstruction, merging with Cangwu's power and producing a wondrous reaction.

Under the combined influence of the two powerful forces, the changes in the dragon eggs became increasingly apparent. Their surfaces, which were originally covered with black cracks, began to gradually heal, and their dull shells slowly regained their former luster, emitting a soft glow.

Inside the dragon egg, the faint pulse of life could be heard, as if it were eager to hatch.

As time went by, the dragon eggs successfully recovered, some even began to sway slightly, making crisp sounds, showing signs of hatching.

However, Cangwu's soul was almost completely burned up in the process. His figure became illusory, appearing and disappearing in the air, as if a gentle breeze could blow it away.

When only the last dragon egg remained to be restored, Cangwu was on the verge of death. He looked at the last dragon egg with a hint of regret in his eyes.

Cangwu knew he was about to disappear, and this time there would be no possibility of recovery, but he had no regrets. He slowly turned his head, looked at the dragon eggs that had regained their life, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
