Dragon Clan: Restart your life

"The First Solar Era..."

The priest put down the hand-painted Bible for the first time, held the cross hanging around his neck, and fell into memories.

"It is reasonable for your Excellency to have such doubts." He mused, "In 1859, a human named Darwin published his "The Origin of Species". If we want to select the ten foundational works in the history of human science, these It must be one of them.”

"I've heard of it." Lu Mingfei scratched his head, expressing his admiration that he had heard of the famous name for a long time but had not seen his book.

Who has never heard of this book, but whether or not they have read it is another matter.

The sudden entry into academic topics made him a little uncomfortable.

Everyone knows that Lu Mingfei, the only S-level student in the college, is dedicated to protecting world peace and cannot find time to spend on his studies.

“Before The Origin of Species was published, the church had been claiming that God created every living thing in the world. But that man named Darwin said that every living thing evolved from a single-celled organism. Paramecium and Humans are also related by blood. After countless generations of natural selection during the evolution process, humans have evolved as an unprecedented intelligent creature. And if the evolution process from single-cell organisms to humans is recorded, a tree-like diagram will be obtained. It’s the so-called ‘evolutionary tree’.”

"The essence is that all species in the world evolved from the same origin, just like a big tree giving birth to countless branches."

The priest paused for a moment and saw that the two of them were listening very carefully, as if a teacher was pleased to see an unlearned student finally starting to work hard.

"Each leaf on the 'Tree of Evolution' is a kind of organism. Some leaves are close together and originate from a twig, such as zebras and wild donkeys, which are close relatives. Some leaves are far apart and grow on different On the branches of the world, humans and seals, for example, are only distantly related.”

"Later, someone put forward a new view, believing that the evolutionary tree has three main branches, called the three 'domains', namely the bacterial domain, the archaeal domain and the eukaryotic domain. All known species belong to these three domains. One. Do you know which domain the Dragon Clan is in?"

The priest smiled and asked.

Lu Mingfei raised his hand cautiously and said, "Eukaryotic domain?"

He remembered that his high school biology teacher mentioned that humans belong to the eukaryotic domain.

To be precise, it is - Domain Eukaryotes, Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Vertebrates, Subphylum Vertebrates, Class Mammalia, Subclass Eutheria, Order Primates, Family Hominidae, Genus Homo, and Homo sapiens species.

"Unfortunately, the Dragon Clan does not belong to any of these three domains." The priest laughed, "The Dragon Clan is the fourth domain that is independent of these three domains. According to the theory of human biology, the Dragon Clan's genetic fragments are completely different from those of the three domains. ."

"...So what you said is all bullshit?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment.

"Of course not." The priest shook his head and said, "I just want to ask you a question. There will be a 'protagonist' in every era, which is the product of cycles and the creation of ultimate alchemy. So what do you think of this century? Is the protagonist a dragon or a human?"

"I originally wanted to say Dragon Clan, but you succeeded in making me hesitate." Lu Mingfei sighed.

"If all the creatures in the world can be classified into the three domains and have similar genetic fragments, but the Dragon Clan is the only exception, it would be enough to explain some problems." The priest said softly, "In this case, do you think that the Dragon Clan Like a creature that shouldn’t have come to this century? It’s completely out of tune with this world.”

"What are you talking about?" Norns interrupted him word by word, and a tit-for-tat aura suddenly appeared in the air, "Don't make a mistake! Dragons are the first creatures born in this century, not humans. !”

She would never accept that.

Because this statement completely overturned her long-held views.

Regarding the topic of who is the protagonist between dragons and humans, she once discussed with Chu Zihang, and even more implicitly expressed that the cycle of this century is very likely to fall on a certain "god"-like existence.

Of course, that being was not Lu Mingfei, but the being who helped Lu Mingfei completely restart the world line.

"But who said that the first person to appear on the stage is the protagonist?" The priest said with a smile on his face, and his smile remained unchanged.

"Stop!" Lu Mingfei shouted immediately, "I'm not in a hurry, so why are you two so anxious?"

Knowns said in a deep voice: "What on earth are you talking about?"

"Don't worry." The priest said slowly, "First of all, let's assume that the protagonist of this century should be a human being, because everything in this world can be classified into the three domains, and there is some connection, but only the dragon family is an exception. Then we Let’s think about it, where did the Dragon Clan come from?”

After saying that, the priest and Knowns' eyes fell on Lu Mingfei.

"What are you looking at me for?" Lu Mingfei glared.

"Nonsense, as the first dragon born in the world, don't you have any skills at all?" Norns looked like a fool.

"...My brother and I were born dragons!" Lu Mingfei was helpless. "At that time, the world was deserted and there was nothing. We visited the whole world and finally saw you on that island. We ourselves I don’t know how I was born.”

"That seems to be the case." Norns said thoughtfully.

These brothers are similar to being born and raised. In a sense, they can initially be regarded as the embodiment of the will and rules of the world.

"Then let's change the perspective." The priest said meaningfully, "How were humans born? Do you still remember?"

Silence replaced the sky above the hot spring pool.

"I was still a lonely old man on the island at that time." Knownes rolled his eyes, indicating that he had a sufficient alibi.

"...I wasn't interested in this kind of thing at that time. When I got up after sleeping, I found that there were many things in the world that didn't exist before."

Lu Mingfei felt guilty. Logically speaking, as the first creature born in the world, he should have witnessed the birth of everything and the self-evolution of the biosphere, but he was really too sleepy at that time and slept for who knows how many years.

And the first thing he did when he woke up was to send out the roar of the supreme monarch to the world and unify the world into one with absolute force.

"By the way, what about you? I remember that your restriction is not to draw the ground as a prison, but to be unable to use the key, right?" Knowns suddenly remembered something and asked the priest.

Although they can survive the cycle through special means, there are limitations to this method. For example, the Norns were trapped on that island. It was not until they completed the deal with Odin that they passed on their own limitations to Odin, and then they began to feel free. Walking in the world.

The priest said calmly: "That's the problem. I don't have the restriction of drawing the ground as a prison, but I can't remember clearly. I can't remember when human beings were born in this world. It's like the Big Bang of the universe. Countless people were born in an instant. Everything was coming out of this explosion."

Lu Mingfei and Norns both frowned.

They understood what the priest was saying, that there was a problem with the advent of humanity.

"In addition..." The priest was silent for a moment, "You should all know about the assimilation properties of dragon blood."

Norns said with a strange expression: "You are referring to the fact that there is no reproductive isolation between the Dragon Clan and any other ethnic group. Even if the plants are contaminated with dragon blood, they will be assimilated and mutated by the dragon's blood?"

Lu Mingfei's face twitched slightly.

"The three realms include all the creatures in this world. They are connected, just like a coordinated and unified circle. All creatures are in this circle, but the only exception is the Dragon Clan. The Dragon Clan is not in the circle, but they can do whatever they want. Invading the world within the circle." The priest whispered, "What a terrifying ability."

Lu Mingfei said dissatisfied: "Lao Mei, how can you, a birdie, find the right position to accuse us?"

"That's right!" Norns exclaimed in shock.

The priest spread his hands and said: "I asked someone to study myself. There is still a connection between us angels and the three realms. Can we barely be classified as a subhuman race?"

"You actually found someone to study yourself?" Lu Mingfei was filled with regrets and could not vomit.

"Well, human beings are really smart sometimes. Sparks seem to sparkle in their minds, illuminating areas that have never been visited before." The priest said with emotion, "I think if there is enough time, they might even discover the source of the cycle. Can be found.”

"I have another question for you."

Hearing the cycle again, Lu Mingfei suddenly said, "From the second era to the present, how many supreme beings have been born?"

The priest and Norns looked at each other, and the latter said without thinking: "You two, there was a supreme king in the second era and the third era. There was no single and supreme king in the fourth era. As for you brothers, strictly speaking It is not considered a complete supreme being. Only when one party completely devours the other party can it truly reach the level of supreme being."

"What about the First Era?"

"Ask his God." Knowns pointed at the priest maliciously.

"My boss accidentally said the words about the previous era." The priest lowered his head and thought for a moment, "But even my boss has no clue about the specific situation. The cycle is too clean."

"Why do you ask this?" he raised his head and asked.

"...The person who sent me back said I was the fourth supreme being."

"The fourth one?" the priest said thoughtfully, "It seems that the First Era does exist. Well, who sent you back?"

"I don't know." Lu Mingfei said frankly, "She was covered in a layer of light, like a mosaic, and couldn't be seen clearly. At first, I thought it was this idiot, but then I thought about it, the difference is a bit big."

He pointed to the old woman beside him.

The old woman immediately became furious: "Bah! Don't compare me with that kind of shady guy. I want to have a good face and a good body. I want to be a fairy. There is no need to hide my identity!"

Lu Mingfei and the priest nodded perfunctorily.

"Are you worried?" the priest asked.

Lu Mingfei raised his head and saw white snowflakes falling down.

Snowing.

"Okay! You've made a profit! Watch the snow while soaking in the hot springs!" Knowns cheered.

She was wrapped in a white bath towel and soaked in the hot spring. She lay on the shore with her arms and her chin rested on her arms. She watched the falling white snowflakes melt instantly when they came into contact with the heat of the hot spring...

"Who knows, maybe I just want to find out the truth about the world."

After a long time, Lu Mingfei leaned on the shore, his pupils reflecting the snowflakes in the sky.

"Don't worry, some guys hiding behind the scenes will eventually take the stage at some time." The priest said softly.

"...That's not necessarily the case." Lu Mingfei's voice suddenly became lazier, "Some people hide and die, and don't even have a chance to show up until the end."

The priest's expression froze, he smiled bitterly for the first time, and shook his head.

"Did your Excellency set the stage in Japan this time?"

"Well, this is destined to be a grand stage, don't miss it."

"Of course, how could I miss such a grand stage? But you still have to be careful. Someone may have prepared a surprise for you."

"surprise?"

"Well, I can't tell if it's a fright?" The priest stood up and walked to the hot spring pool, picking up the Bible on the ground. "I don't know the details. It's just a guess. You have to verify it yourself. I'm leaving, I have to go see you. The younger disciple of an old friend."

"You are planning to go to Japan? Japan is great. I like that place very much. I also know a few directors. What's the name of one of them? By the way! Mamoru Oshii, Mamoru!" Knowns shouted beside him, not wanting to be left alone. He stood up and said proudly, "His movie "Avalon" was my inspiration for him!"

Lu Mingfei shook his head helplessly, but suddenly froze.

"You asked him to film..."Avalon"?"

"I liked science fiction at that time." Knownes shook his head.

"Do you know other people in the industry? For example, Tetsuro Araki, the first floor of Okouchi, Hiroyuki Yoshino..." Lu Mingfei started counting with his fingers.

Knowns was surprised: "What are you doing? Are you still planning to make a movie with them?"

"No." Lu Mingfei said quietly, "I heard that they are planning to jointly produce an animation in the second half of the year called "Guilty Crown". Aren't you going to have a chat with them? Do you have any ideas?"

"No...but couldn't you just ask your caring brother for this kind of thing?"

…

…

The black "Gulfstream G550" made a deafening sound, tearing apart the clouds.

A huge brightly lit city appeared under the wing, and the highways extending in all directions were illuminated as bright as molten gold, weaving into a shining spider web.

Caesar Gattuso slowly opened his glasses and glanced at his watch. This sophisticated electronic timing device immediately displayed the geographical coordinates of the moment, "140 degrees 50 minutes east longitude, 35 degrees 44 minutes north latitude."

Tokyo, Japan, the largest city in Asia, is below at this moment, and they are about to reach their destination.

Compared to the modified Gulfstream used by the principal, he prefers the one at home. At least it won't be so noisy and the driver won't be a lunatic.

On the seat opposite him, his companion on this mission and his lifelong enemy was sleeping soundly holding two knives.

"The brightest place over there is Ginza. When Japan's economic bubble was at its peak, the land value of one Ginza could buy the entire United States." Caesar turned to look out the window.

"I'm not very interested in Ginza. If I still have time after the mission, I would like to visit the Chidori Deep." The man holding the knife slowly opened his eyes.

"The name is beautiful, but it's actually a cemetery, the cemetery of unknown Japanese soldiers in World War II." Caesar narrowed his eyes, "And it's next to the Yasukuni Shrine. As a Chinese, would you be interested in that kind of place?"

"I heard that there is a mile-long cherry blossom path with 800 cherry trees along the way." Chu Zihang said calmly.

"It's really like your style." Caesar imagined Chu Zihang sitting cross-legged under the cherry blossom tree, with a long knife across his knees. He didn't look like he was here for tourism, but more like he was here to commit seppuku...

Of course Caesar knew that he was not asleep. The enhanced hearing of "Kamaitachi" allowed Caesar to instantly understand the opponent's state through the sound of heartbeat and breathing.

In addition, before Chu Zihang spoke, he had anticipated this conversation.

Because everything in front of me is exactly the same as what I saw in my dream just now!

What on earth is that? Pure coincidence? Or a dream that predicts the future?

But no matter what it was, why would that woman say this was a memory he had forgotten?

There seemed to be more and more mysteries, and with the appearance of Freya's Riddler and the priest, Caesar felt like he was under siege.

He must find a way to break the situation!
