167. Chapter 167 – Destiny Contactor
Chapter 167 – Contactor of Fate
David and his group of dragons had already visited at least four green dragon nests before, and probably due to the fact that Nymphadora, who was also a young green dragon, was by his side, most of the encounters they encountered along the way were more or less the same.
When going to see the green dragon lords, they would often encounter some forest creatures such as wolves, bears, deer, eagles, foxes and so on, who were not afraid of the dragon’s might and led the way, or they would encounter some tree spirits or even elves who directly went up to them to greet them.
It is said by Nymphadora that these creatures are often under the control of the green dragon’s magic.
Perhaps behind the pupils of the creatures’ eyes was a dragon peering from its lair in the deep forest.
If other races enter the Green Dragon’s territory with unknown intentions or by mistake, these seemingly harmless creatures can turn into deadly threats, and may even encounter other dragon beasts or druids manipulated by the Green Dragon.
But what happened to Nymphadora’s mother was more like a colorful dream for David.
The saplings of the Mutant World Tree reached the sky, the canopy of the dome was like a labyrinth, and after following Shadera’s back for dozens of paces and arriving at a spiral staircase made up entirely of parallel branches, the limited field of vision began to open up, and below the spiral staircase, on the ‘green field’ weaved by vines, herds of running Cattle and sheep herds.
The water vapor accumulated in the tree canopy flowed under the complex structure, eventually converging into a long and thin waterfall and lakes, which had completely constructed a small natural ecosystem.
This is a thousand meters above the ground in the canopy!
“Your mother’s attainments in natural magic really amazes the dragon.” David couldn’t help but marvel.
[Jealousy]
[Greed]
This was not a commercial boast, but an exclamation from the heart, in Davy’s opinion, this kind of attainment, I’m afraid that the other party has traveled a little further on the path of legend than his own still young mother, Pavla.
The only thing he found strange was that such a powerful legendary green dragon was rarely heard of in the old continent of Scannus, and even less famous than Felicia, the black dragon master of the Dozer Wetlands, who was the first person he visited.
“Yes, I have admired her since I was a child, and the reason why I left the nest to develop on my own is so that one day, I can transcend the shadows of my mother, who is like a canopy of trees, and become an existence as great as hers.”
Nymphadora’s voice came from beside him, but her voice was hidden.
But he, who was in the midst of this dreamy scene, did not notice it in the slightest.
Soon enough, the green dragon’s dependents began to appear on both sides of the ladder to ‘observe the ceremony’.
There were jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards with the light of wisdom in their eyes;
There were also grassland elves wearing weapons and bows;
There were even tree demons with graceful postures and wry smiles;
There were also half-dragon elves with dragon horns and the dragon beast brothers underneath them.
But when dozens of young and even adult green dragons fell from the empty dome on both sides of the ladder, like a dragon-shaped stone sculpture with a ‘kind smile’ looking at him, David suddenly had some pressure.
Suddenly, he even had a sense of having mistakenly entered a blue dragon’s lair.
David instinctively glanced towards Nymphadora, but his body was empty.
Not only Nymphadora, even the dozen or so dragon cubs behind him who had followed his own field ‘physical fitness training’ for nearly half a year had all disappeared.
David, who had suddenly encountered such an abnormal situation, not only didn’t feel the slightest bit nervous, but instead breathed a sigh of relief:
”So it’s a dream, then it’s not strange, I told you how a group of green dragons that are all adults could still be nesting in the dragon mom’s lair and squatting at home together.” .
[Arrogance
After all, green dragons are different from blue dragons, blue dragons can maintain a group community mode for better survival, but green dragons cannot.
Green dragons, because of their intelligence and ambition, are often more than happy to seek out opportunities to surpass their elders, as Nymphadora has done.
It’s just that just like with a usual dream, once one recognizes that they are dreaming, the dream, too, begins to ‘crumble and disintegrate’ automatically.
David, who still didn’t know that this was the mother of dragons trying to create an opportunity to talk to himself alone, hurriedly stabilized his thoughts that were running wild and gradually clearing up, and quickly ran upwards towards the ladder that had begun to twist and distort.
After all, he didn’t feel any malice from the beginning to the end, nor did he deliberately guide his ‘dream state’ to achieve the purpose of peeping into his mind and memory.
The lack of malice shown between the evil dragons was in itself a manifestation of goodwill.
This might seem contradictory, but it was common sense for the five-colored dragons to get along with each other.
After running furiously all the way, David finally met the mother of the green dragon, Serubelia Aresandra, who had been waiting for him in the depths of the dream world, at the top of the canopy.
“Your perception power is even stronger than I thought, I almost thought that I wouldn’t have the chance to see you, the young red dragon with unlimited potential, David Yutos.” Serubelia spoke with a smile.
“You really aren’t in Ellaria anymore?” David spoke out his guess full of sighs.
“Yes, long after the Nymphadora of my last litter of children left the nest, I set out on a path to explore my own legendary destiny and travel around the realms in pursuit of divinity, so what you are seeing now is, as you suspected, a dream world that linked our consciousnesses for a brief period of time.”
“It sounds almost like a means of deity projection; your greatness is likewise beyond my imagination.” David said with a half heartfelt exclamation, half business interlude.
Only this kind of bragging also caused the green dragon, who had perhaps stepped into the category of extremely old, to cackle:
“It’s just a way of using the dream realm [Dream Realm Otherworldly Travel], it only allows me to travel to other realms in my dreams, or to communicate with you as I am doing now, it’s a completely different concept from a deity’s projection coming down, well, since you’ve already found out the truth about it, it’s hard for me to maintain this dream realm for too long, so let’s get straight to the point, David. might as well get straight to the point, Davyutos, I already know what you’re here for, so let’s get right to this deal.”
“Wait. You. Know what I’m here for?” Davy searched for a reason, he didn’t have any reason to come.
Purely to stop by and visit the elders of Nymphadora before returning to the nest.
“That’s a good guess, isn’t it? Seeing that you’re carrying so many five-colored fledglings behind you, isn’t your trip here for the sake of my daughter?”
It was also fortunate that there was this previous sentence, otherwise David would have suspected that the other party would have mistakenly thought that he was going to be his mother-in-law, and immediately apologized somewhat:
“I’m sorry, this daughter of yours, who is already a bit on the older side, does not meet our academy’s admission standards.” He was of course referring to Nymphadora’s fellow sister, Shadera.
He didn’t want to have such a ‘lively’ dragon child in the camp that would go around causing trouble for him.
He and Nymphadora had enough work to do on a regular basis.
Upon hearing such a euphemism from David, this green dragon’s mother was not disappointed, but instead switched to a different line of reasoning and teased:
“Oh? Then it seems that there is still some deviation between our claims, I would have thought that a teenage red dragon like you, who is about to enter the teenage dragon stage in just ten years, would not be able to refuse the temptation of traveling with a trio of dragons, especially when it is also the most outstanding work of my Serubelia’s dragon life, a pair of beautiful dragon’s twin daughters.”
‘Crap! This mother-in-law, yuck! This old mother dragon plays with such flowers!’
[Color
David’s tail instantly straightened up, under the agitation of his mind nearly collapsed this dream link in front of him, but before he could stabilize his mind, he heard this mother dragon continue to raise the stakes and laughed petulantly:
“Cunning little guy, obviously this red dragon, so young but learned to refuse to welcome in order to obtain more benefits, I’ll say it directly, I’m about to go to the multiverse deeper ‘savage realm’ to explore, then this emerald dream in the more chaotic rules of interference will not be able to maintain it. The Emerald Dream Realm will not be able to sustain itself under the interference of even more chaotic rules.
“Shadera and Nymphadora are my last children, and while you may not understand it, you should know that for old dragons like us, who have reached the end of our lives, this last litter is the only one that may give birth to some true affection.
“Especially Shadera, she was my last child, especially when it was discovered that she had a more outstanding talent than her sister Nymphadora, naturally, she would be a bit more spoiled, so much so that she kept her until her youth, until now, she is still immersed in this emerald dream I wove, and can not be extricated from it.
“But the dream, finally woke up the moment, and I should have been gifted child, now it seems, on the contrary, is not as good as her sister Nymphadora.
“As a mother, I am more or less worried about this.”
David, who only half believed in this green dragon, immediately asked the doubt in his heart:
“But why don’t you just ask your daughter Nymphadora?” That way the benefits wouldn’t have to flow out.
Then he heard the mother dragon say, “This involves another promise of mine, she can’t do it.”
“Can’t do it?” David froze.
“I wish that before one of them approaches her Legendary Destiny, you would take them to one of the Savage Realms, the Plane of Athas, to meet my ancestor, the Emerald Dragon Mother, Arexandra, where they, who have experienced the Emerald Dream of Enlightenment, will gain clarity on all the Legendary paths that have been explored in the past by our line of Green Dragons. All of the legendary paths that our Green Dragon bloodline has explored in the past.
“At that time, whether they continue along the legendary paths of their forefathers, or circumvent the paths that have been monopolized by the gods and doomed to be cut off, they will find another way, without having to waste too much time doing so, as I have done, and as the other Legends have done who have mediocrely traveled through the Legends’ destiny.
“Our dragon lives may seem long, but once we embark on the journey of the Legendary Heavenly Fate, even thousands of years of life, when placed in the flood of time, is but a drop of rain that is never enough to squander.”
David’s heart instantly became a little excited, “Does that mean that I too” This was almost like playing a game to read the game tips and strategies of other ‘high players’ in advance!
Although the paths taken by the red dragon and the green dragon were a million miles apart, there were some things that were always touching.
The mother of dragons laughed profoundly: “Good, this is one of the rewards, of course, this is a prerequisite, otherwise, even if you arrive at the Athasian realm, to see, will only be a piece of barren ‘havoc remnants of the sun’, rather than where my ancestors ‘rich green field’, but at this point, this is the ‘game tips and tricks’! ‘, but at this point, I trust my daughter Nymphadora’s eye for dragons.”
“The Shoah’s Remnant?” David was stunned, he had only thought that the so-called Athasian realm sounded familiar, but it turned out to be the one that was rumored to have been stripped of its life force by out-of-control magic, turning the entire realm into a blazing sun-scorched, god-forsaken land that lacked water and hope.
A place where even the undead don’t want to go, a world of despair that is about to be completely drained of its last bit of magic.
“Yes, they are the same spatial coordinates, but not the same realm, just as each of us has a different destiny, the world is the realm, and has a different destiny, theoretically we can not step into the same river of destiny, but in that azure age, my ancestor, Aresandra, with her own power changed the destiny of the world’s trajectory, and caused it to be split in two, but that piece of land by the ‘Emerald Dream’ woven world, and only a ‘Fate Weaver’, can step into its realm.”
“Destiny Weaver?” This was already a bit of a superlative for Davy, while feeling a bit mind-boggling.
A dragon that could actually tamper with the destiny of an entire realm! Even if it was fictionalized in a dream world, this still made Davy’s heart race.
“Those who have contacted destiny refer to those who have leapt out of the river of destiny at least once, but there is no need to think that it is so amazing, every Legendary Heavenly Fate has already contacted their own destiny once, either intentionally or unintentionally, only that most of them, after falling back into the river of destiny, still have their own destiny, but the majority of them, after falling back into the river of destiny, still have their own destiny. After falling back into the river of destiny, they were still unable to change it. This is not a difficult condition to fulfill, especially, for you.”
“Is there anything special, in me?” David asked.
“I sense, in you, the presence of the remnants of the ‘dream world’.”
This time Davey simply stopped speaking, there was too much unfamiliar knowledge.
The other man’s words reminded him of the bizarre dream he had in his deep sleep.
Just dreaming such a thing, shouldn’t it be in every living creature?
He heard the other party continue, “Dreams are a key, just like my otherworldly travels, dreams can be used as a way to explore and travel to other realms, they can also be used to influence individuals through dreams, or even use them to torture or manipulate individuals as nightmares or some demons do.
“But what many creatures don’t realize is that the greatest use of dreams can actually be used as a way to foretell the future.
“Gods or other supernatural forces can use dreams to send prophetic visions to their followers or selected individuals, though they are mostly abstract and symbolic and need to be parsed to understand their meaning.”
David was suddenly alert, but then he remembered that he wasn’t a follower of any god, was it Tiamat?
“But often, more often than not, it is when you come into contact with and master a certain power that you begin to be influenced by that power’s very essence, and some vision of the future mapped onto it refracts a mirror image that distorts the real thing, and peering into and parsing such dreams often changes the trajectory of one’s own destiny without even realizing it.
“Even inadvertently, he changed his destiny, and my ancestors called him…
“The Destiny Contactor.
“But it’s hard to say whether this change is good or bad, so every being who is clear about this way will try to work toward what they think is good.
“So part of their existence, again, calls itself, the Weaver of Fate.
“But only after understanding how vast the flood of time is, does it become clear how ridiculous the so-called weaving of fate is.
“But being able to change is also a bit more heartwarming to the dragon than being able to change what is set in stone despite having insight into the tragedy, isn’t it?”
David took a deep breath and agreed:
“Indeed.”
“So, can I take it that you have agreed to this deal?”
“Yes, that reward alone, as you have stated, is enough to make my heart sing, only, what I want to know is, how can I ‘parse dreams’ as you have done?”
The old dragon replied, “Very well, then this deal is struck, and this dream, which is coming to an end, and the emerald dream that was left to my daughter, Shadera, is about to awaken.
“At that time, you may take the ‘Emerald Heart’ that I have left behind, and fall asleep with it in your mouth, and you will be able to remain awake and maintain your dream within the dream world.
“At that point, how you parse it will be up to . . your own will.
“My daughters, on
“are yours.
“now.”
Along with Serubelia’s gradually blurring words, the mother dragon phantom in front of her eyes and the entire emerald dream world fell apart.
Soon, somewhat like that feeling of waking up after undergoing a general anesthesia procedure for gastroenteroscopy screening, David gradually perceived his own body, as well as the crumbling cries growing louder and louder in his ears:
“Mommy! Mommy don’t you leave me.”
“Mommy don’t you want me?”
“WOW!!!”
As David was woken up by this cry that was like the old withered vine and dim crows, with a glance, the World Tree sapling that was sticking straight into the sky like a city in the clouds when he came, was already ‘between a dream’ for him.
Completely withered.
Along the way all the running cattle and sheep, by the green dragon manipulation of jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards druids and those green dragons, all with the wind disappeared.
Only the young female green dragon, who probably already knew she was stuck in a dream but still refused to wake up, remained.
Shadera.
Though having gone through a deal with the female dragon needing to take care of this ‘young female’ who was a few rounds older than him on his behalf.
But Davy really wasn’t very good at calming dragon children, especially a girl.
David immediately headed towards the ‘Emerald Heart’ that had floated down from the withered Tree of Life, which was radiant and exuded an extremely strong life aura.
This is a treasure, he even has no doubt that this thing slightly to his own old man with alchemy refinement can become a legendary level magic treasure, and then with his own body of the [regeneration stone] of the healing ability as well as his own power [overeating], will not be directly transformed into a completely ‘undead and indestructible’ monster.
[Greed].
But God knows if this thing still has the ability to interfere with dreams after that, and immediately gave up on this dragon baiting fantasy.
But just as Davy was wagging his tail in a pleasant mood and was about to receive one of the ‘rewards’ that the mother dragon had advanced to him in advance, he felt a vicious wind coming in his face, accompanied by Shadera’s heart-breaking roar:
“Get your claws off me! That’s what Mother used to reach me!
“Me!
“Awwww!!!”
Pfft! David was instantly pounced upon by a vicious dragon a size larger than himself, and it was as if the entire half of his head was wrapped around something.
Half a dozen times, severe pain struck.
“Ah!!!”
“Loosen your mouth! Let go!” David immediately like a wildcat suddenly attacked the tackle on the ground can not stop tearing the big orange, and the other party directly to the ground floor style wrestling.
Very undignified.
“Stop it! Shadera! You’re itching again, aren’t you! That’s my… My friend!”
For a moment, Nymphadora, who was her sister, was also confused as she watched the two writhing dragons.
Shadera, who had been spoiled by her mother alone since she was a child, was instantly angered even more:
“How dare you . . still helping the outer dragon! Woah!
“Mom, look! You’ve only just left, and my sister is taking your inheritance away from you with the other dragons!
“Shadera’s fate!
“It’s so sad!
“Wow!”
The little she-dragon came down even harder.
Sort of a solid XP for you guys
