457: 'Protagonist' treatment

Hearing Ku Li Pa's question, Yang Dian paused.

Ku Li Pa had asked this question before, but he hadn't answered.

He didn't expect him to bring it up again now.

"When will you be able to possess that kind of power?"

Comparing Ku Li Pa's speed of becoming stronger with his own strength, Yang Dian continued:

"If you continue to improve at your previous rate, without hitting any Bottlenecks, it would take at least several millennia to possibly possess that kind of power."

"Se... several millennia?" Ku Li Pa was a bit stunned.

He was only in his early twenties and couldn't quite grasp how long a timeline of several millennia was.

Seeing Ku Li Pa's expression, Elf Princess Ai Lin, who was beside him, couldn't help but interject to add insult to injury:

"He means if you can continuously obtain Opportunities and keep improving."

"But that's impossible."

"Even powerful Dragons, who possess high-tier gold-level combat power upon reaching adulthood, only about one-tenth of them can Break Through from gold-level to the legendary realm."

"And those Dragons who can possess epic-level strength are even less than one percent."

"If it's so difficult for Dragons, who control the vast majority of the world's resources and possess inherited memories, to Break Through to epic-level, let alone Humans."

"What's more, that person's power far exceeds what can be described as epic-level."

"He suppressed two Space-Time Dragons, who were considered among the strongest even within the epic-level, with a single hand!"

"His strength is near-divine!"

"Improving to his level in several millennia is just a fantasy under the most perfect timeline."

"The reality is that for tens of thousands of years, or even a lifetime, you might not even touch the edge of his strength."

"A lifetime, near-divine?" Ku Li Pa mumbled, his expression resolute as he said:

"A diligent person will not be let down by the heavens."

"I believe that as long as I keep working hard, I will definitely possess that kind of strength."

"Whether it's several millennia, or tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years!"

"As long as I live, I will definitely strive towards that goal!"

Yang Dian patted Ku Li Pa's shoulder:

"I have high hopes for you, the future Storm Sword God."

"Hehe." Ku Li Pa rubbed the back of his head, smiling foolishly:

"Uncle, I definitely won't let you down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a team of city guards, riding war beasts similar to direwolves, galloped towards them.

The leading city guard officer saw the Storm Greatsword stuck beside Ku Li Pa, and a hint of greed appeared in his eyes:

"Country bumpkin, you actually damaged the roads of Azure City!"

"According to Azure City law, we will fine you the corresponding dragon gold based on the size of the road area you damaged."

"In addition, according to the law, we also need to confiscate the tools of the crime."

As he spoke, he dismounted his war beast and reached out to grab the Storm Greatsword that Yang Dian had given to Ku Li Pa.

However, before his hand even touched the hilt, a sharp gust of wind appeared on the greatsword, directly leaving a deep wound in his palm.

"Hiss~"

The officer covered the wound on his hand, his body trembling as he looked at the Storm Holy Sword, the greed in his eyes intensifying.

'A magical item that can actively attack others and cause damage to gold-level powerhouses.'

'If I could offer such a treasure to the City Lord...'

"Soldiers, apprehend these rioters who attacked the city guards within the city!"

Hearing the quartermaster's words, Ku Li Pa reached out and grasped the Storm Holy Sword, the expression in his eyes gradually becoming solemn:

"As far as I know, Azure City doesn't have such a law."

"So, are you greedy fellows again fabricating charges to seize our wealth?"

"You damn, blood-sucking rats preying on the common people, you truly deserve to die~"

As he spoke, the Aura on Ku Li Pa, which had already reached its limit, slowly began to increase again, showing signs of Breaking Through to the legendary realm, which is the Star-Patrolling Realm on Earth.

'Here it comes, here it comes.'

'The 'Protagonist's' law: wherever he goes, trouble arises, and after resolving it, his strength is bound to increase.'

'But then again, I'm considered a Protagonist on Earth, right? Why haven't I encountered all these messy things?'

'Are Earthlings too normal?'

Yang Dian, watching the drama, took out a lollipop and put it in his mouth, preparing to watch the 'Protagonist' beat up nameless cannon fodder.

The Elf Princess beside him also quietly walked over to Yang Dian and whispered:

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Facing Yang Dian's questioning gaze, she said frankly:

"As far as I know, you Qi Refiners from the 'Flying Dragonfly' world have always been in contact with various Children of Destiny on the Emerald Continent, seeking to gain something from them."

"Other than that, we found no information about you in the 'Flying Dragonfly' world."

Then she speculated:

"Are you survivors of a shattered civilization that fell into a dimensional rift after your world was destroyed and fortunately reappeared in the real world?"

"Are you constantly contacting the Children of Destiny because you want to restore your civilization?"

Yang Dian was surprised.

He didn't expect the Elf Princess to think in that direction.

But on second thought, given the lack of information, it seemed normal for her to have this idea?

Who among normal people would imagine that this group of people from the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty entered the Flying Dragonfly World driven by a Space-Time storm caused by a stellar demise, and then entered the Emerald Dragon Star from the Flying Dragonfly World?

So Yang Dian continued, building on the Elf Princess's words:

"So what?"

"What if it is, and what if it isn't?"

Ai Lin took a deep breath, thinking of the information about 'Qi Refiners' she had seen in the Elven Kingdom, and spoke in a deep voice:

"The help that the fated ones can provide you is still too little."

"You want to gather a large number of weak fated ones, help them grow, and restore your civilization with their support, but this would take far too long."

"Once the timeline is extended, many accidents will occur."

She turned and looked directly into Yang Dian's eyes, saying seriously:

"Help me."

"Help me gain control of the Elven Kingdom's power."

"I will help you restore your civilization."

Yang Dian scrutinized the Elf Princess from head to toe, saying with a hint of profound meaning:

"What if what we want is not just to restore civilization, but something more?"

Thinking of the humiliation she had suffered under the High Priest's suppression over the years, Ai Lin took a deep breath:

"You help me, I help you."

"We can sign a contract."

"As long as you help me regain power, I will do everything I can to help you achieve what you want to do."

Yang Dian looked deeply at Ai Lin.

If Ai Lin could choose this, then what about the other princes and princesses who had their power seized?

Had the Great Yu Qi Refiners already rallied many forces by continuously spreading the message of 'restoring' civilization to the outside world?

After calculating using the Star Manifestation Art, a strange expression appeared on Yang Dian's face again.

The High Priest's rise to power in the Elven Kingdom seemed to have indeed been instigated by the Great Yu Qi Refiners.

'They're so good at stirring up trouble?'

Amidst his emotion, Yang Dian suddenly noticed countless threads of destiny converging upon him.

However, perhaps because they couldn't find Yang Dian's true body, those threads of destiny suddenly dispersed, enveloping the entire Human Race.

"The Greedy Wolf Star stirs, the Seven Killings rises."

"The Dragon Clan knows I captured two Space-Time Dragons, and because they can't find me, they're targeting all Humans on the Emerald Dragon Star?"
