Chapter 63 - His majesty the pope who spreads the holy light (6) (2/2)

This person and dragon, of course were Lu Heng and Ionas.

Seeing Lu Heng’s attentive gaze towards the temple, Ionas suddenly realized that this man was the Pope of Light. This temple was the property of the Papacy of Light, but he had destroyed half the property of the other person.

“When Dragon Island was raised, the temple was abandoned. I’m sorry to have ruined your property.” Ionas explained slightly distracted. After that, he felt that an apology was sincere only when he looked into the other person’s eyes. He bent down and stared at Lu Heng’s eyes with a golden vertical pupil.

Lu Heng gently patted Ionas, saying that he did not mind: “I want to go in and have a look.”

“I’ll go with you.” Ionas turned into a human figure, and unless necessary, he did not want to leave his treasure for a single step.

Most of the steps in front of the temple had collapsed, and the rest of them had been occupied by dense wild plants, and there was no way to enter. Lu Heng had to use floatation magic to enter the half temple.

As soon as he entered the temple, Lu Heng identified the age of the temple from the techniques used in painting in the dome above. This is a temple built at the end of the age of Gods. The temples built in that period and the scrolls painted- all had scenes of gods leading the various races to participate in the war.

Yes, in the first battle against the undead, the divine realm did not exist. The gods of the bright camp all lived on the mountain in the center of the mainland, and the gods controlled the mainland. Later, the gods of the dark camp invaded the mainland with the armies of the dead, and the God of light marched down the mountain with the other gods to lead the various races of the mainland to resist the armies of the undead.

With the joint efforts of Gods and the mainland creatures, the armies of the undead were exiled to the land of the dead. But the mainland was too badly damaged to withstand such a strong force. In order to prevent the collapse of the mainland, the gods jointly opened up the divine realm and reached an agreement that the body of a God should not appear on the mainland. At this point, the figures of gods disappeared from the mainland, and the end of the era of gods was painted where the mainland races became the masters of the mainland.

“Io, do you know anything about the age of Gods?” The Dragon lord behind him should have gone through that period according to his age, but he did not understand the reason for him not following the gods to the divine realm, and instead remaining on the mainland as a demigod.

“Ah?” Ionas was staring at Lu Heng’s attentive profile in a daze, and heard Lu Heng’s voice before recovering his bearing, “It’s like this, when the army of the dead invaded, I was sleeping. Later, when Esmond and others were leaving, they came to the territory to look for me, and I woke up.”

Lu Heng knew why the most powerful dragon race did not join the war when the undead invaded. Because most of their elders slept ignorantly, and without the command of their leaders, the Dragons were indifferent to the affairs of other races. The undead army failed to invade the territory of the Dragon race, so there were no Dragons in the war.

Seeing Lu Heng’s expression, Ionas felt that his words just now had really tarnished the name of the Dragon lord. He didn’t want to lose face in front of his treasure anymore, so he decided to tell Lu Heng a secret: “This Lord of Dragons never feared fighting, but… ”

“Well?” Lu Heng saw Ionas being silent for a moment.

Ionas had a momentary trance, and revealed something which he had never told anyone: “This Lord of the Dragons came to this world to wait for something, and from the time I was still a dragon egg, my instinct told me so. But the waiting time was too long. I could only pass the time by sleeping.”

“As the God of the Dragon race, how can you stay on this continent?” As soon as Lu Heng heard that, he understood everything in his heart. He was worried that the Dragon God was in fact the God of the Dragon race, but he was able to stay on the mainland with a demigod body, which must be the price he had paid.

“This is too small a matter to have posed any difficulty to the mighty Dragon Lord. All that was needed was the self destruction of my godhead.” 1 Ionas showed a triumphant expression, but he did not find worship in Lu Heng’s eyes. Instead, he saw the other person’s pupils shrink and an anxious hand grasp his hand.

“Allow me to check for you.” Lu Heng hurriedly gathered his power of light and penetrated Ionas’ body. Sure enough, it was just as he said. Fortunately, the Dragon race people were born strong the aftermath of the self destruction left no hidden danger within Ionas.

Although the speed of flow of time between different planes was different, Lu Heng did not expect that Shi Kong would arrive at this plane so early this time. Tens of thousands of years of waiting, and not knowing what he was waiting for. With no direction or no destination in sight, it would drive almost any soul mad. Even so, he managed to bear with it.

“Nevertheless, it doesn’t matter. I’m glad to have waited for my most precious treasure. Fortunately, I wasn’t deceived by Esmond into the divine realm. “When Ionas saw Lu Heng’s both sad and relieved expression on his face, he felt that he should say something to make Lu Heng happy. After all, a treasure looks best when it shines.

Lu Heng looked at Ionas’ satisfied face. He smiled gently and touched the other person’s face.

This was the first time that Ionas had been touched by Lu Heng on his own initiative. It was as if his entire being lit up, and he took Lu Heng into his embrace. Well, it felt better to hold him as a human. Ionas decided to sleep with his treasure in his human form.

Lu Heng also returned and held the other person tightly, and they both enjoyed this warm time.

Ten minutes passed and an hour passed.

Ionas didn’t let go. There was still work to be done. Lu Heng tried to say something, but he heard an even breathing in his ear.

The Lord of the dragons, actually could fall asleep standing?
