Chapter 357 Reinforcements_2
But it seems the main reason has to do with the prophecy from the Mother of Dragons.
With the prophecy, even though Dong Jun wasn't appointed as a divine child, in the Dragon Clan without a divine child, his status is almost the same as one.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door.
Looking at the old Silver Dragon that had scaled its body over the wall, Chen Xing was somewhat amazed at its now significantly reduced size.
The old Silver Dragon's height was now less than three meters after shrinking.
Its body had shrunk tens of thousands of times.
"Is this a skill?"
"Yes, it's a skill. It doesn't require a large skill framework and is easy to master. Actually, a long time ago, there were no skill frameworks for anything in the world; it was only after the God of Magic created the Magic Heaven Net that newly born things came to possess skill frameworks," mused the old Silver Dragon.
"Before the skill frameworks existed, as long as the skills were comprehended, they could be used at will.
But back then, comprehension was more complicated, somewhat akin to directly understanding the Law.
You know how difficult it is to comprehend the Law. Currently, many at the peak of Transcendence are stuck at this step and cannot grasp it, let alone other creatures.
Most creatures in the world bluntly use the most primitive powers. It was the creation of the Magic Heaven Net that changed everything.
Sometimes it's hard to tell whether it was a good or bad thing."
Chen Xing was satisfied with the juicy secret he had learned from the old Silver Dragon.
However, that was not the issue of the day.
Chen Xing asked the old Silver Dragon why the Azurewave Domain suddenly made peace with the Fentian Domain.
The strife between these two powers had lasted a full thousand years.
Their conflicts were bone-deep.
Under such circumstances, it was astonishing that they could make peace. Could there be secrets between the Giant Cities he was unaware of?
Hearing Chen Xing's confusion, the old Silver Dragon's smile was profound, "I can actually answer that question for you."
"The reason is quite simple, because you from Great Xia are outsiders."
"You should know that the creators of the ninety-nine Giant Cities were the gods from that era," said the old Silver Dragon.
Chen Xing nodded.
"In fact, there were far more than ninety-nine gods in the Exotic Region back then, but only the very top ninety-nine had the qualifications to build a Giant City."
"No matter how fierce the conflict between Bibo Great City and Fentian Giant City, to them, you are all outsiders, and Great Xia's development speed has been too fast," the old Silver Dragon paused, then continued, "You might not realize just how astonishing your development speed is. No tribe in the Exotic Region has ever risen from nothing to a power comparable to a Giant City in just a few hundred years."
"Moreover... Great Xia is just one of the countries on Blue Star, and there are several other countries as powerful as a Giant City."
Chen Xing felt a chill because the old Silver Dragon seemed to know so much about Great Xia.
If an old monster, who secluded itself in a small world, knew this news, how much more would the upper echelon of other powers know?
How many eyes were secretly watching them from the shadows?
In the eyes of Blue Star, the people of the Exotic Region were natives.
But in the eyes of the people from the Exotic Region, weren't they also the natives?
If we're talking history, the Exotic Region's history is much older than that of Blue Star.
Seeing the change in Chen Xing's facial expression, the old Silver Dragon silently nodded, knowing that its words had achieved their intended effect.
It was worth the time it had spent catching up on news.
"However, you don't really need to be so nervous. The ninety-nine cities are not monolithic. As you just mentioned, many powers have harbored hatred for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. This hatred is deep in their bones and almost impossible to erase."
"What you mentioned about the ceasefire between Bibo Great City and Fentian Great City doesn't conflict with their hatred. As long as Fentian Giant City is willing to pay a sufficient price,
benefiting from your Great Xia and Fentian Giant City both suffering losses, why not? Your development speed is so rapid, and your electronic products are bestsellers across the cities. Even I have heard of them, let alone the other domains around you.
Perhaps a nearly defunct Xia Country is what the surrounding powers would prefer to see."
Chen Xing fell silent. After the old Silver Dragon revealed the information about Great Xia, Chen Xing himself also thought of what the Silver Dragon had said afterward.
Great Xia, though hidden, had the difficulty of concealing its presence like an elephant behind a tree, regardless of how it twisted and turned, could its massive body ever truly be hidden?
Moreover, there are other major countries on Blue Star. Great Xia knows well the principle of moderation, but the styles of the other countries are completely different...
For instance, at the Eagle Federation, it is said that as soon as the passage to the Exotic Region was opened, they couldn't wait to lead their massive army into it, leaving the surrounding forces completely baffled.
"I've learned a lot," Chen Xing nodded.
"However, our intervention will probably also cause some trouble for you," the old silver dragon said to Chen Xing, "Our Dragon Clan has quite a few enemies, and because our power is so great, it has aroused the vigilance of other forces, that's why we divided our forces into three."
"After we take action, many forces will definitely believe that your Great Xia and our Dragon Clan have formed an alliance."
"Even if we come forward to deny it, others won't believe us."
"You need to be mentally prepared, there may not be problems in the short term, but there will definitely be plenty of trouble later on."
Chen Xing smiled and said, "On our Blue Star, there's a saying: if others suspect you have weapons of mass destruction, it's best if you actually do have them.
Since they're suspecting us of cooperation, then we might as well truly cooperate."
The old silver dragon thought for a moment and found Chen Xing's words... quite interesting.
"I don't have the final say in this matter. I can only help you build a bridge. But with the divine oracle from the Dragon Mother and her special attitude towards my grandson, there is a good chance it will succeed."
The following day, the five downsized Dragon Kings left the Dragon Emperor Giant City through a hidden passage with Chen Xing.
Outside their courtyard, several watchful eyes were completely unaware of this.
...
Blue Star, Great Xia, Longdu.
The war has been raging for close to half a month.
Although the Great Xia troops have kept the battlefield beyond Blue Star, sparing the homeland from the war's reach,
Great Xia has initiated militarized management in recent days.
Former soldiers were recalled, and full military preparedness was implemented in all major and secondary cities. Find more chapters on My Virtual Library Empire
Meanwhile, all other secondary cities were placed under second-level military preparedness.
Resources circulating in the market were all under control.
Secret Treasures, which could previously be bought freely, were now all under a monitoring system.
Under big data management, private individuals could place orders for purchases after reporting their circumstances, while companies and groups had to file applications for resource procurement, which could only be approved after being granted authorization.
For Chen Lingya, all this was rather troublesome.
Especially since she had taken over a large number of industries from the five major families and had not yet had time to assimilate them before receiving the notice of militarization.
The workload she had to deal with alone increased several times over.
She stayed up late dealing with work every day and even developed several pimples on her face.
The night outside the window was serene, with a small lamp lit inside the room.
Chen Lingya stretched, peeling off the mask from her face.
Yawning, she came out of the bedroom to get some water.
She then saw a hunched figure sitting in the living room.
Chen Lingya was startled for a moment, "Dad, you're still awake?"
Chen Guohai took a drag on his cigarette, with smoke enveloping much of his face.
He hummed softly in response.
After a silent pause, Chen Lingya spoke, "Dad, don't worry about those messages online, there's probably someone behind them. Besides, with my brother in a special situation, he's not in the country, and he's far from us. He probably doesn't even know that war has broken out here, and even if he did, it would take him time to return."
"I know," Chen Guohai sighed deeply.
Lately, some online public opinions have targeted Chen Xing.
So long after the outbreak of the war, while three of Great Xia's hidden Ascended had appeared, this newly emerged Ascended had still not shown up on the battlefield.
Some said he was shirking from the war.
Others guessed he might be on another mission.
But just yesterday, a piece of news exploded: this newly Ascended of Great Xia was spotted appearing in the Dragon Emperor Giant City.
