The Way of the Sword (BL)

Chapter 113: The Black Dragon Tragedy (2)

The children of the eagle and the black dragon all died, the black dragon ended up alone and desolate, his heart full of hatred for the invaders of the great world. 

Just as the great god had done hundreds of years ago, the black dragon gathered what little is left of his children and his beloved eagle, all were laid in eggs, but the black dragon did not create a tomb but performed what would be called today forbidden blood spell, which traded one life for another. 

The black dragon delivered the eggs of his children to different races to keep them safe, the egg of his dear eagle was the only one he took to the tomb of the family of the great god and there he left his beloved to sleep for eternity. 

Well for the forbidden blood spell to be completed and his children could have a new chance, the black dragon became a slaughter machine joining the Resistance to defeat and slaughter the people of the great world. 

Sure, the black dragon won this battle and completed the ritual, but it took tens of years, many races of devils were extinguished, and the Transcendent Human cultivators Realms and Realms Skies were also almost annihilated, only Emperor Realms cultivators managed to stay stable.

When the Age of Emperors was about to begin, the black dragon along with his followers was isolated in the Forbidden Continent, the black dragon stood beside his beloved waiting for him to wake up or for the great god to return.

Of course, neither happened.

At the end of his life, the dragon returned to the great desolate desert, which was strangely the only thing that had not been destroyed when this world had turned into all deserts. As the black dragon and proud eagle had met there, they asked the great god at the time not to change anything about this place. 

The tree with the dragon fruit was already dry and there was no precious fruit, the black dragon felt like that tree, he was very tired. There the black dragon wrote his mantra that would help the cultivators get very far on their way in Dao if they were persevering and didn't care what others might think of them. Strangely it was in his last moments of life that humans considered this black dragon a legend. 

Shortly before his death several gods came to the little world and went to meet the black dragon, these gods were friends that the black dragon and the proud eagle had made friends during their adventures out of that world, out in the vast void. 

When the gods found the great black dragon in his human form staring at the dry tree, the gods felt their hearts tighten.

"You arrived late" the black dragon's voice was soft and kind, there was no anger, hatred or resentment just acceptance. He had been alone for so long that his feelings were numb. 

His body gave way easily as the hot desert breeze passed, the black dragon had indeed died. 

Of course, just as the proud eagle the god who created the little world had also made a plan of support should this happen, so the soul of the black dragon was enveloped by an egg, resting on the sands of the desert. 

The Zhong and Song Family were the most faithful followers of the black dragon, so these visiting gods planned everything so that the proud eagle and the black dragon could return to life once again. 

The Zhong's Family would be responsible for the black dragon and would take care of the egg until the right time for rebirth came. The Song Family would be responsible for nurturing future generations of cultivators who could control soul energy until one day a descendant might be strong enough to arouse both the eagle and the family members of the great god. 

The gods gave the Song Family various legendary cultivation methods to cover everywhere, then passed a few more cultivation methods so that the Zhong Family could also grow and adequately protect the black dragon. 

In fact, after such a bitter war and such a heavy loss, it would be difficult for humanity and the devils to rebuild themselves once more, so these gods helped the small world races with new cultivation methods and new training methods.

Thus began the Age of Martial Emperors.

Unfortunately, the world-regenerating matrix could not be repaired nor could the gods enter the tomb of the family of the other great god, so they could only reinforce the barrier around the tomb and place weaker matrices to help improve the regeneration of the world.

Part of the Family Mu that had joined the resistance remained with humans, where today is the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Zatra Family had already taken root with humans, where today is the Great Arcane Wizard Sect. The Franco Family joined the devils and helped rebuild this race, creating divisions and empires. 

All the greedy ones were killed, the black dragon left none alive!

And where was the great god?

Some believe that he returned shortly after the black dragon died and with a broken heart he isolated himself inside the tomb and remained closed to this day.

Other people tell legends that the great god is somewhere hidden, just waiting for his best friends and family to come back to life, but it is all speculation.

"In short, your mother is one of the daughters of this great god and your two older brothers are the direct grandson of a powerful and divine race," said Elder Han Yie after telling this long story, of course, he omitted many parts, such as the fate of the black dragon and the proud eagle, told only that they overcame the invaders thanks to the help of the black dragon and that the world flourished again with the help of the black dragon-friendly gods. He also talked a little about the origin of the Song Family.

"Are my older brothers actually my half brothers?" Asked Zemin Yan, stunned. He didn't expect his mother to have had children before she met his father!

"Technically, they are your brothers, since your father gave blood, Qi, and soul energy to bring your brothers back to life. But your mother just needed a little soul energy. She looked like she would soon wake up even without her father's help, "Elder Han Yie explained, remembering how shocked they were when they entered that mystical tomb. 

"What about the other heirs? Did my mother's brothers and my grandmother all brought to life? "Asked Zemin Yan with bright eyes, that was very exciting! It was strange, yet fascinating to know that his whole family was in a tomb brought by a great god unparalleled! His grandfather was a great god who created this world! How wouldn't it be exciting?

"Well, only if your father wanted to die would he do that. The amount of energy he spent on his mother and brothers was not small. However, by the time he disappeared with his mother, they would go to the tomb to free some more people from his mother's family. Little Yan, there was not only your mother's family there, but there were also friends of that great god Well, I speculate that something went wrong when your father and mother tried to revive these various people or someone found out about it and ambushed your family or if we have a bolder thought, it might be that the people of the upper world have reappeared once again and everything has gone wrong. "Elder Han quickly said this so that Zemin Yan would not get too excited.

"Uncle Yie, do you believe my parents can be alive?" Asked Zemin Yan anxiously, of course, he's still a 10-year-old, so it was obvious that his parents were the most important in his heart.

"Of course, they are alive! I just think they are either in the big world or the middle world since we couldn't find anything about them during those few years, "said Elder Han Yie confidently.
