Wei Chen could sense that the Giant Fire Goddess and the Silly Dragon were merely complying with their own will, making the Silly Dragon obedient.
Otherwise, this fire dragon would not have shown such restraint towards Wei Chen.
Donghua, Shaohou, and the Ying Qin Supreme Deity stared blankly at Wei Chen as he conversed with the fire dragon. They could feel the hidden depth in their dialogue, yet they were utterly clueless about who that so-called adult was.
Although they had grown accustomed to Wei Chen's miracles, this time they were still deeply shocked by his actions. The power of the fire dragon was estimated by Ying Qin Supreme Deity, Donghua, and Shaohou to be comparable to that of a Twelfth Level Deity. How could such a colossal beast fear Wei Chen?
Who was that so-called adult?
Filled with shock and confusion, Donghua, Shaohou, and the Ying Qin Supreme Deity stood at a distance, intently watching Wei Chen and the timid fire dragon that lacked any imposing presence.
When they first saw the fire dragon, its thousand-foot-long body was indeed terrifying. But now, that same massive form appeared somewhat droopy and listless. The Shaohuang God King and Taihao God King along with their seven companions felt little fear in comparison.
Wei Chen hovered in front of the fire dragon's massive head. His body was barely as thick as the fur between the dragon's eyes, yet he carried himself with ease. His gaze towards the fire dragon held no trace of reverence; instead, it resembled a king surveying his subordinate.
"Fire Dragon, two things. First, you need to open the barrier of this Fire Clan Secret Realm; we need to leave," Wei Chen said calmly.
The fire dragon replied, "That's simple; no problem."
"Second, that esteemed adult has instructed you to follow me and assist me."
Upon hearing this, the fire dragon looked puzzled. "I am the guardian beast of this Fire Clan Secret Realm. Can I leave?"
"Of course you can. Do you still doubt that esteemed adult's words?" Wei Chen smiled.
"No, no, no! How could I dare to doubt that esteemed adult? It's just that my duty is to protect this Fire Clan Secret Realm; it's a principle ingrained in my ancestral memories—a rule set by my forebears. How can I leave?" the fire dragon protested.
Wei Chen pouted slightly. "What do you think is more important: that esteemed adult's command or your ancestral teachings?"
After a moment of struggle, the fire dragon replied, "Naturally, that esteemed adult's command is more important."
"Then it's settled, right?" Wei Chen smiled.
"However," the fire dragon continued, "the situation within the Endless Divine Realm is quite complicated. I can't just leave like that. With my size being what it is, if you want me to go to the Endless Divine Realm, it would violate protocol."
"It's fine, I have a place for you to go." With that, Wei Chen quietly transmitted his voice, "That esteemed person is currently within my True God World. You can enter my True God World as well, but you know how that person's temper is, so don't seek trouble for yourself."
"True God World? Damn, you have a True God World?" The Fire Dragon asked with some surprise. Wei Chen used spiritual consciousness to communicate, and the Fire Dragon also responded through spiritual consciousness, so Shaohuang God King and the other seven could not overhear them.
Wei Chen smiled lightly, "Is True God World that rare?"
"No, no, to be honest, I've wanted to leave this godforsaken place for a long time. It's just that on one hand, the Ancestral Instruction is here, making it difficult for me to disobey it. On the other hand, the oppressive aura from the Endless Divine Realm is unbearable. If I stay here too long, my strength will decline. I've sneaked into the Endless Divine Realm a few times; damn it, those people are truly despicable. The Endless Divine Realm is on the same level as our Spatial Plane and can give rise to Twelfth Level Deities. Perhaps their cultivation methods are a bit outdated, but in this cosmic system, the Endless Divine Realm is still at its center! Those bastards from our realm have set up millions of massive Formation Arrays in the Endless Divine Realm to suppress its growth, preventing it from producing any beings above Sixth Level Deity. It's utterly disgusting! The worst part is that beings like us at this level will also be suppressed by that void power when we go to the Endless Divine Realm. Over time, our strength will decline."
The Fire Dragon's words revealed a wealth of information.
Wei Chen finally understood that the Spatial Plane where Bloodshed Shop was located was referred to as "the realm," which sounded less impressive than the Endless Divine Realm! Moreover, the Spatial Plane level of the realm was on par with that of the Endless Divine Realm; there wasn't much advantage for the realm over the Endless Divine Realm. They were merely taking advantage of the current lagging state of the Endless Divine Realm to dominate it.
Wei Chen could also tell that this Fire Dragon was relatively young and immature in mindset. It didn't seem to care much about that so-called Ancestral Instruction since it had already sneaked out several times...
The reason it hesitated to agree to go with Wei Chen wasn't due to fear of the Ancestral Instruction but rather fear of being suppressed in the Endless Divine Realm and gradually losing its own strength and status.
So when it learned that Wei Chen possessed a True God World, it became so excited.
"Fire Dragon, what kind of place is this realm? All I know is that Bloodshed Shop controls the Endless Divine Realm." Seizing the opportunity after finally finding a topic to discuss, Wei Chen quickly asked his lingering questions.
The Fire Dragon replied, "The realm is a third-level cultivation plane in this universe, similar to the Endless Divine Realm. There are many powerful forces within the realm; beings like me are highly sought after by any faction willing to go to great lengths to recruit us. After all, our Fire Dragon Clan has formidable combat power; an ordinary Twelfth Level Deity is no match for me. Only those Twelfth Level Deities with exceptionally strong True God Worlds or bloodlines can pose even a slight threat to me. Of course, they definitely cannot kill me; my self-healing ability is strong and I am fast in flight. As long as I'm not surrounded or trapped in formations, I won't be in much danger."
The Fire Dragon spoke with confidence—not boasting but rather providing a calm introduction. Whether it was boasting or not was something Wei Chen could easily discern. He himself believed that this Fire Dragon's combat power was indeed formidable; an ordinary Twelfth Level Deity would certainly be crushed by it.
"Fire Dragon Brother, how did you end up in such a godforsaken place? I feel like this Fire Clan Secret Realm doesn't match your identity or strength at all!" Wei Chen frowned and asked.
The Fire Dragon sighed and said, "You don't understand; because I'm still not of age, I can only endure being stuck in this wretched place. But it's not too bad; there’s plenty of Fire Divine Power in this Fire Clan Secret Realm for me to grow quickly. Among my peers in fire dragons, I am definitely the strongest."
The Fire Dragon rolled its large eyes around nervously and quietly transmitted again: "At my current age, I shouldn't have reached such strength yet. However, since that esteemed person arrived here, I've greatly benefited from their presence. The Fire Divine Power I've absorbed since they came contains some of their power, which has allowed my level to advance rapidly."
"So how old are you exactly?" Wei Chen asked.
A confused look appeared in the Fire Dragon's enormous eyes as it transmitted back: "I think I'm about several million years old? I'm not sure; anyway, we need to reach adulthood after ten million years before we can leave this assigned Fire Clan Secret Realm. Generally speaking, adulthood means reaching Twelfth Level Divine Realm. My level has reached what’s needed to leave, but I'm still far from being old enough and can only continue enduring here."
Wei Chen thought for a moment and then asked, "So how did you all get here? Are there many places like the Fire Clan Secret Realm?"
"There are many, many of them. Each universe has quite a few. Compared to the number of our Fire Dragon Clan, there are even more secret realms. When we arrived, the elders from the Great Realm directly tore open the void to send us in." The Fire Dragon was in a good mood, excited about being able to leave soon and explore the outside world. Perhaps it was also because of its inherently free-spirited nature that it spoke so openly.
Wei Chen asked again, "Great Realm? What kind of place is that?"
"The Great Realm is a secondary Spatial Plane in our universe, much higher than the realm we are in. The Twelfth Level Divine Realm can only be considered average within the Great Realm. Once you go to the Great Realm in the future, you will naturally understand," the Fire Dragon explained.
Wei Chen smiled and said, "Why do you think I will go to the Great Realm? Am I strong enough for that?"
The Fire Dragon replied, "You know that esteemed individual, and it is clear that they want me to help you. If you can't even make it to the Great Realm, you would be embarrassing that esteemed individual."
"Alright then," Wei Chen said helplessly.
"Once we reach adulthood and attain the Twelfth Level Divine Realm, we can go to the Great Realm. However, those from your realm can only cultivate within it until they break through its constraints and reach the Thirteenth Level Divine Realm before they can enter the Great Realm. Our Fire Dragon Clan has its headquarters in the Great Realm and is a very powerful force. But compared to that esteemed individual, we are far inferior. That esteemed individual is an ancestor of the Fire Tribe and one of the ancestors of all humanity; all Fire Clan Secret Realms were established by them with ease."
After a pause, the Fire Dragon continued, "That esteemed individual allowed our Fire Dragon Clan to cultivate in the Fire Clan Secret Realm because our Elder Patriarch pleaded earnestly before them. If our Elder Patriarch were to arrive in your Endless Divine Realm, as soon as he descended, this Endless Divine Realm would immediately collapse under his immense energy."
"He is the first generation of beastkind and was established by the Beast God as the first beast tribe; his power is formidable."
Hearing what the Fire Dragon said, Wei Chen felt he had gained a profound understanding. The situation was complex, and he couldn't make sense of everything right now, but this level of powerhouse—an incredibly powerful ally—was definitely secured! This Fire Dragon would also become Wei Chen's strongest ally!
