Chapter 646, Living a Second Life

Translator: Silavin

 

Such an abnormal scene left everyone present completely stunned.

 

“The Devour… Devouring Dragon King?! Why is the Devouring Dragon King here!?” The Starry Sky Ancestor immediately panicked, completely disregarding the fact that he had just awakened, and immediately prepared to flee.

 

At this moment, Lu Fan finally understood what the Starry Sky Ancestor was afraid of.

 

It turned out he was terrified of the Devouring Dragon King.

 

Come to think of it, this made sense. The Devouring Dragon King was particularly special amongst the Dragon Race, an absolute anomaly. Although she was also part of the Dragon Race, she fed on Dragons to enhance her own strength.

 

At the same time, the Devouring Dragon King was also an Eternal Phase Giant Dragon. Although she was currently injured and unable to exert her full strength, the deterrent power of an Eternal Phase Devouring Dragon King remained.

 

Even Dragon Kings would retreat upon seeing the Devouring Dragon King, let alone the Starry Sky Ancestor, who was merely an ordinary Starry Sky Dragon.

 

The Starry Sky Ancestor appeared as if he had encountered a natural enemy, frightened into panic, leaving the Father and Son duo dumbfounded. They had never imagined that the always steady and sacred Starry Sky Ancestor would be frightened into such a state.

 

However, the Devouring Dragon King snorted coldly and said in a loud voice. “What are you so afraid of!? I’ve already eaten Starry Sky Dragons before. I don’t have much interest in your Clan anymore. If you were an Infant Dragon with tender flesh and bones, I might still consider using you as a snack. But you’re just an old bag of bones now. Who would be interested in you!?”

 

“Eh…” The Starry Sky Ancestor finally came to his senses, realising that he had been unconscious all along.

 

If the other party had wanted to eat him, he would have already died while unconscious.

 

After calming down, the Starry Sky Ancestor subsequently discovered that the Murong Family members were also here. At the same time, there were two other cute Dragons flying around nearby, one of which was a Starry Sky Dragon of the same Clan as himself!

 

[No! That’s not right! That not just another member of our honourable Clan, but a Starry Sky Dragon King!]

 

After the Starry Sky Ancestor realised that Xing Chen was a Starry Sky Dragon King, his expression immediately changed drastically. He moved his body and resumed a prostrate, devout posture, performing a submission ritual towards Xing Chen.

 

Xing Chen did not understand these etiquettes of the Dragon Race, nor did she need the Starry Sky Ancestor to be overly respectful towards her. She called out “Ang ang ang” several times, presumably telling the Starry Sky Ancestor not to be so formal.

 

The Starry Sky Ancestor was a being who had lived for a hundred thousand years, with intelligence that even surpassed ordinary Humans.

 

By this time, he had already understood why there was a Starry Sky Dragon King here, and why he, who had been on the verge of death, had been injected with new Life Force and awakened from his coma.

 

Especially when he perceived that the Xing Chen he respected was Lu Fan’s Pet Dragon, his attitude towards Lu Fan became even more respectful.

 

After all, he was only a Starry Sky Dragon. His status was lower than that of Xing Chen.

 

Since Xing Chen was Lu Fan’s Pet Dragon, the Starry Sky Ancestor was basically two tiers below Lu Fan.

 

At this moment, Murong Bai stepped forward and explained the entire sequence of events, further confirming the Starry Sky Dragon’s speculation.

 

When he learned that although he was now conscious, he could live for at most twenty to thirty years, his expression showed little disappointment.

 

“In my earlier years, I wandered the Ancient Starry Sky Path, seeing countless landscapes and encountering countless enemies. My life has been fulfilling. Even if I had died in a coma as before, I would have gratefully accepted it.”

 

Speaking to this point, the Starry Sky Dragon changed his tone, looked at the Father and Son, and continued. “But, your concerns are also reasonable. I have protected your Murong Family for many years, allowing you to gain your current strength. If I were to suddenly depart, the entire Murong Family would probably be finished.”

 

“Over these years, the Murong Family has treated me well. You’ve done your best to find everything I needed, making my last few hundred years very comfortable. Seeing that your Family Ancestor even dropped 5 Levels to find a way to extend my life, the Murong Family’s path will probably be even more difficult in the future.”

 

Murong Bai sighed deeply and said. “Starry Sky Ancestor, it is more than enough for you to have the heart to care about our Murong family. Unfortunately, despite all our efforts, we couldn’t find a way to extend your life. Over the next twenty to thirty years, our Murong Family will do everything in our power to see you off on your final journey! This can also be considered repayment for allowing our Murong Family to reach heights that were almost impossible to achieve over the past hundred years.”

 

With that, Murong Bai bowed to Lu Fan again and said, “Young Master Lu, regardless of anything else, thank you for being able to awaken the Starry Sky Ancestor. You came to help rescue the Starry Sky Ancestor. Yet, our Murong Family made no promises to give you anything in return.”

 

“But rest assured, from now on, with just one word from you, our Murong Family will certainly do everything in our power to help. Of course, after our Murong Family loses the Starry Sky Ancestor in the future, there probably won’t be much we can help with. We hope you won’t mind then.”

 

Lu Fan was also unsatisfied with such a result. However, this was really all he could do. He could not help much more.

 

Therefore, he waved his hand, exchanged a few polite words with Murong Bai, and prepared to leave.

 

The Devouring Dragon King warned everyone present that although the Starry Sky Dragon had awakened, Lu Fan had only extended his life by three to five years. When the Starry Sky Dragon showed signs of falling into a coma again, Lu Fan would need to return and inject him with more Power of the Stars.

 

Repeating this process could probably extend his life for twenty to thirty years.

 

After twenty to thirty years had passed, the Starry Sky Ancestor would have no more hope of extending his life.

 

Just as everything had been explained and Lu Fan was about to leave, the Starry Sky Ancestor suddenly spoke. “Dragon Tamer, please wait a moment.”

 

“Hmm?” Lu Fan did not immediately depart, but looked at the Starry Sky Ancestor to see what else he had to say.

 

The Starry Sky Ancestor hesitated for a moment, then finally said. “Actually, I do have a method to save myself, one which could extend my life and allow me to live a second life.”

 

“Live a second life!?” Lu Fan was greatly shocked.

 

[To allow an aged old Dragon to live a second life. That would be far too domineering! Just what kind of method is so Heaven Defying?]

 

The Starry Sky Ancestor scratched his chin with his claw and shook his head, saying. “Originally, I thought there would be nothing wrong with just dying like this. But, thinking that there’s still a Family that needs my protection, I find it somewhat difficult to let go. So, I humbly request that you help me. If you can help me live a second life, I will certainly reward you handsomely!”

 

Lu Fan asked. “So, what exactly do I need to do to allow you to live a second life?”

 

“The method is not too difficult on your part.” The Starry Sky Dragon pointed at Xiao Cui and said. “As long as there’s a Jade Dragon King present, it can be achieved.”
