Chapter 449: Starlight Divine Beast, Divine Snail of Sun and Moon (III)

“The God of Light is the protector of the world. And I, Divine Snail of Sun and Moon, and my kin hoped to restore peace in this world. It’s just that until this day, we have yet to really succeeded.”

At this point, the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon clearly became more emotional. Long Haochen listened to him calmly, but for some reason, he unconsciously got the feeling that the words of the Divine Snail of of Sun and Moon were extremely important for him to listen.

“The mission of us, Divine Snail of Sun and Light, is really majestic, but at the same time, our fate is tragic. The time the first Divine Snail of Sun and Moon appeared, at the same time came a Scion of Light, another Starlight Beast of that time, so called god’s chosen one by you humans. That was the Gigantic Divine Dragon. The story of that little skeleton was quite one-sided; the reality was really more painful.”

“The exalted God of light picked the dragon race because of the great power of dragons, and their ability of self protection, thus making them incomparably powerful with bestowment of the physique as god’s chosen one. However, our god overlooked the greediness of the dragons. Perhaps dragons don’t necessarily have a tyrannical character, but their natural desire for beautiful thing is incredibly strong. As a result, my ancestor became the first target of tragedy, having been attacked by surprise after that Gigantic Holy Dragon gained his trust, only to become food. That way, that Gigantic Holy Dragon awakened and became a formidable Gigantic Divine Dragon, ruling over the world for over a thousand years.

However, he had a defect in his heart…

As his rule was coming to its end due to his greediness, the God of Light became incomparably grieved towards his actions.

As living beings kept reproducing in the continent, the humans gradually revealed their brilliance. Perhaps the human’s inner heart could be even darker than the other races, but humans had a creativity that all the other races didn’t have. For this reason, our god finally chose a human to become his spokesperson. That was the second Scion of Light, that we were born to protect.

“My ancestor from this time was fortunate, or at least during his early period. Accompanying that Scion of Light in assiduous training, he saw him become an outstanding talent, that led the human armies and defeated that Gigantic Divine Dragon, relying on his understanding of the enemy, and finally became an heroic dragon slayer by killing him. At the same time, this announced the start of the human rule over the continent, known as glorious era of the continent.”

“Then, wasn’t that a perfect situation?” Long Haochen couldn’t help but blurt out.

The tone Divine Snail of Sun and Light started to sound suddenly furious, “Perfect? It was only perfect for humans. In his youth, he was indeed a perfect person. But upon getting older, at the time he started to reach the end of his life, do you know what he did?”

Looking helpless, Long Haochen shook his head.

The Divine Snail of Sun and Moon coldly said, “From who knows where, he heard a rumor that eating a starlight beast could grant immortality.“

Hearing those words, Long Haochen felt a chill on his back. Immediately, he started to grasp his hands fiercely. The others were also overwhelmed with shock; although the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon didn’t say it explicitly, they clearly understood the following course of events from his words.

“Then he betrayed his best friend, the best friend who sacrificed everything for him, all for the sake of an illusion, the possibility of immortality. From this came out the real nature of your human race. My second ancestor finally ended up unable to escape the same fate as that first ancestor, but his pain was even greater. That was because he was reduced to the state of food in the hands of his most trusted and beloved person.”

“Then, the time I descended onto this world, as the third one of my kind, I had the memories of my both ancestors engraved in me. For this reason, I hated all of you, humans, bitterly. I didn’t want, no matter what, to choose to support the human side. I had to find an even better race in this world, to unify it under a better rule.

However, I have no choice but to admit that the human creativity made the continent very beautiful. If a new ruler were to be born, it would very possibly bring about a great calamity. How could I bring myself to bring that kind of outcome? I was really at a loss, and started to lose sight of the reason for my birth. If this world was so peaceful, there should be no reason for a Divine Snail of Sun and Moon to be here.
