Chapter 1237: Chapter 1241: Red Sun

Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but look up at the brilliant sun in the sky after hearing that and then pointed with his hand, saying, “You mean, it is a dragon?”

“Exactly, lately it should be the Golden Crow Sun Dragon God on duty. Its radiance is particularly strong, making the weather hotter, and causing those with a Fire Spirit Root to grow much more vigorously. If you have a fire-type dragon, then cultivating during the period the Golden Crow is on duty would be far more effective,” the lady said.

“Are there other suns?”

“Of course, there are others besides the Golden Crow, including Red Sun, Green Kirin, and others… It’s up to the Emperor Elder to decide which Sun Dragon God takes the shift,” the lady said.

“Why is it decided by the Emperor Elder? The Emperor Elder is only responsible for supervising. Which Sun Dragon God takes the shift is determined by Heaven and Earth Laws after deductions, and then the revelations are passed on to the Emperor Elder. He simply arranges it according to the will of Heaven,” the man obviously disagreed with the lady’s statement.

“It is indeed decided by the Emperor Elder. Heaven never dictates what its children and gods should do.”

“Fine, fine, fine, whatever you say is right. If the sun rises from the west tomorrow, it’s because you dreamt and told the Golden Crow that the east is not auspicious…” the man clearly did not wish to argue with the lady on this issue anymore.

“What do you mean? It’s not auspicious to leave the house too early. What’s wrong with walking out of the west gate? The old master also said that today we should do a good deed, no matter how small…”

Listening to the couple’s quarrel, Zhu Minglang instantly understood why they gave him a ride–it was all because of their belief in mysticism.

It’s better to believe in… ah, I kind of miss it.

…

When he arrived at Li Prefecture’s Huan Mountain City, Zhu Minglang saw along the way that the people in Jun Tian generally followed the same customs as those in North Dipper God State, with divine temples and palaces marking every place and city.

A Divine Land has hundreds of True Gods, and these Divine Lands are interconnected. This leads to a vast array of beliefs among mortals, and it’s common to see a row of god statues in even the smallest mountain temple, with which god to worship becoming a frequent topic of conversation.

Belief is not singular.

Belief is not restricted.

Worship whoever you feel has the power, even if you praised the Earth God yesterday and the Mountain God today.

In North Dipper God State, this would be seen as terrifying, because the faith of each deity is considered sacred and does not allow such casually changing worship…

“Ah, as far as us mortals are concerned, as long as life is clear, it’s a great fortune that the quarrels among the gods don’t affect us,” Cao Juan, who gave Zhu Minglang a ride, said.

“Is there a place with free Juvenile Spirits? I’d like to raise one. It’s indeed inconvenient not to have a dragon in Jun Tian,” Zhu Minglang said to Cao Juan.

Upon hearing this, Madam Cao Juan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Her husband also laughed non-stop, seeming to find the young man rather adorably foolish.

“There are, but how could ordinary people possibly go and adopt a Juvenile Spirit? Those Juvenile Spirits that no one wants are the ones determined to be incapable of turning into dragons. Otherwise, why would their owners abandon them?” Madam Cao Juan said.

“Yes, and even if you stumbled upon an exception, those Juvenile Spirits would have deficiencies in their early nurturing. Even if they transformed into dragons, one would need to spend a substantial amount of resources on them to bring them up to the level of a normal dragon,” her husband Lu Kuan said.

“Think of it as a transition,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Speaking of which, doesn’t your Xushan Large Clan’s children start herding from a young age, saving the money earned by the elders for you to buy a high-quality Juvenile Spirit when you turn sixteen? If you’re lucky, even Young Dragons. How come you don’t have this money?” Lu Kuan asked puzzled.

“I was sickly as a child, didn’t herd much, and don’t have any money,” Zhu Minglang replied very frankly.

“That…” Cao Juan hesitated for a bit as she looked at her purse.

At that moment, her husband Lu Kuan gave her a stern look.

Zhu Minglang’s Divine Sense was very powerful, catching every little movement from the couple.

He smiled and said to the kind Madam Cao Juan, “I am very grateful that you could give me a ride to town. The gods will bless you. ‘Do a good deed daily’ is something everyone likes to say, but few truly act upon it.”

Zhu Minglang paid his respects and then said farewell to the kind couple.

Cao Juan nodded and then waved goodbye to Zhu Minglang.

“What a simple and honest young man, I really fear he’ll be swindled by bad people,” Cao Juan said.

“All young boys are like this, they’re bound to suffer hardships after leaving the mountain village…”

“You glared at me just now!”

“I… I was just afraid you would act rashly in the moment. We’re also counting on our money to buy the Cultivation Fruit. If we can’t, we’ll be stuck at Monarch Level for the rest of our lives,” Lu Kuan said.

“It’s just the money for a Juvenile Spirit.”

“If you want to do good, please wait until the sun rises tomorrow. You’ve already done your good deed for today.”

“So I can give it to him tomorrow, right?” Cao Juan said.

“Alright, alright.”

…

Cao Juan did not find Zhu Minglang the next day.

She left with a sense of loss, as the money for a Juvenile Spirit was not much for someone of their level.

Lu Kuan urged her to leave, and the two of them had no choice but to climb onto their dragon and fly towards the state city.

Zhu Minglang lingered in Huan Mountain City for a while.

A clear night, and the heat of the day made the rooftop tiles warm like a wooden plank bed, leading Zhu Minglang to spend the night on the roof of someone else’s house.

Gazing at the close Milky Way, Zhu Minglang began pondering several issues that he had been recently considering.

Firstly, just how many years had he been asleep?

Secondly, why did he appear in the Jun Tian continent?

Logically, he should have fallen with North Dipper God State and been in The Wild Fields of Xuan Tian.

Could it be that North Dipper God State had shattered at some point, and he ended up on a fragment that landed in the Horizon of Juntian??

What happened to North Dipper God State after he fell into slumber?

And what about the Dragon Babies?

If they awoke at different times, they might now be scattered across the nine heavens. Are they alright?

Those familiar people he once knew, those he respected, are they still alive?

…

The next day, Zhu Minglang personally witnessed Red Sun ascending.

It was another sun, with a crimson radiance. At dawn, it was intensely red, its glow sharp and fierce, making one feel a sense of fear even from glancing at it!

It was a domineering sun, but why did its light fall on him, giving such a familiar sensation?

Zhu Minglang gazed at the sun known as “Red Sun,” lost in thought.

For some reason, Zhu Minglang also felt as if “Red Sun” was gazing back at him…

Suddenly, a strand of Divine Sense flew toward the top of the sky, and what Zhu Minglang received was an overwhelmingly intense response!!
