My Items Can Upgrade-Chapter 280 - 166: Eating Stones (88/101)

In the distance, a group of superpower users hid in a building, sneaking glances over here. Without Yang Yuan’s orders, they didn’t dare approach without permission.

Along the way, Ao Wuming discreetly sensed the situation of the Supreme City.

As a member of the Earth’s Limit of the Dragon Race, his range of perception was extremely wide.

Soon, he was surprised to find that this city was pathetically small, completely unworthy of the size a celestial city should possess.

Moreover, this city seemed to have no restrictions set up; aside from that spatial barrier in the sky, there were no other limitations.

In such a situation, people inside the city could freely fly over.

Even without celestial-level experts, earth-level experts could still leap very high.

Additionally, here, he saw obvious signs of new construction, indicating that this city was indeed entirely newly built, and the previous anomalies were not an illusion.

’Strange, such a small city theoretically shouldn’t reach celestial level. Merely one celestial core isn’t enough to construct a celestial city, is it?’

He was suspicious, feeling that this seemingly insignificant new celestial city might have secrets he couldn’t comprehend.

Because it was overly simple, he became even more cautious not to underestimate it.

In Ao Wuming’s impression, celestial cities, no matter how small they appeared from the outside, would definitely have another world inside.

Since celestial levels involved will and space, any celestial city would have overlapping space internally.

’Could it be that there’s hidden space inside this city that even I can’t sense?’

He thought to himself like this.

As for the Dragon Race, who wouldn’t give birth to conceptual ability users, they couldn’t possibly understand the concept of a conceptual city.

Originally, this city indeed wasn’t enough to reach celestial level, but the Supreme City Lord’s Order was a masterstroke that, coupled with a bit of the power of creation, directly caused a remarkable transformation in the city.

...

Yang Yuan led Ao Wuming all the way to the City Lord’s mansion, where over a hundred Crab Generals sensibly stopped outside the mansion.

To Yang Yuan’s surprise, Ariel, this white woman, was very understanding and had already organized ten female superpower users to set up the first floor of the mansion as a reception room.

Although the tables and chairs were made of wood used for communal meals before, there was at least a place to receive guests.

Originally, he didn’t plan to be too serious, so he hadn’t arranged for a reception room.

But the Dragon Race was overly enthusiastic, having sent so many treasures, couldn’t afford to neglect them.

Ao Wuming also knew the Supreme City had just been completed, and that beings on land were notoriously poor in the Dragon Race’s impression.

Therefore, he wasn’t surprised by the simplicity of the reception room, nor did he show any obvious signs of disdain.

"The small city is simple, and there aren’t any good things to offer, making Brother Wuming laugh." Yang Yuan invited Ao Wuming to sit down.

Zhao Jiayan took out a teapot and cups to pour tea for the two.

It’s worth noting that the teapot and cups were marvels, specially crafted by Yang Yuan at Zhao Jiayan’s insistence during this period. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The marvel characteristic of the teapot is to enhance a tenth of the quality of the tea brewed in it.

And the marvel characteristic of the cup is to make the tea inside taste better.

Very simple characteristics, but fitting for these two items.

"City Lord Yang, you’re too kind. Master Zhao needn’t busy yourself."

Ao Wuming sat down with a sense of privilege. He didn’t react much to Yang Yuan’s politeness, but Zhao Jiayan personally pouring tea made him feel a bit pressured.

Although the Zhao-named lady in front of him might not be the person his father talked about, even a millionth chance made him not dare to neglect.

It was indeed because of the words his father told him before departure, which had left him too shocked.

After sitting down, he got straight to the point: "City Lord Yang, to be honest, the reason for this visit, aside from congratulating humans on the completion of the celestial city, is also to discuss another matter."

"Feel free to speak, Brother Wuming." Yang Yuan nodded, as he had known it wouldn’t be that simple.

Ao Wuming organized his words and began: "Does City Lord Yang know about the ancient catastrophe?"

"Catastrophe?" Yang Yuan was puzzled, not pretending to understand.

Ao Wuming looked at Zhao Jiayan, who also returned a blank face.

He immediately felt a bit regretful: "Indeed, have the beings on land been extinct before? May I ask if humans ever avoided disasters? Were your human strong ones also sealed?"

"Well... not sure." Yang Yuan shook his head, not saying there were none, just saying he didn’t know: "We are too young to know much about those things before ancient times."

"Indeed, even I, as a Crown Prince, heard about this secret from my father."

Ao Wuming sighed: "Back then, I was just a dragon egg. When the catastrophe occurred, I was ignorant. After I broke out of the shell, what I saw was a devastated land. My father, who was supreme in my heart, was trapped by the Divine Lock on the altar, and my mother had long since passed away."

Yang Yuan’s heart stirred, and he asked: "I wonder... did your honorable Dragon King father ever recount the specific events of those days?"

"Father only said it was a presence I couldn’t imagine and didn’t reveal who the enemy was, but he mentioned that even the supreme Demon Gods of the Creation Continent were no match for those demons."

Ao Wuming sighed: "Father told me never to think of revenge, and then the Dragon Palace remained silent for a long time. It wasn’t until ten thousand years ago that it appeared again, but by then, there were hardly any intelligent beings left on land."

Ten thousand years ago...

So this... dragon in front of him is over ten thousand years old?

Yang Yuan curiously asked: "Then I wonder, what is the so-called ancient agreement? Is it related to the disaster?"
