?1688 More Divinations Come True

Long Tiankong stared at the sky as the sun was no more. All he saw up there was darkness, a void of nothingness. He saw death.

There was no sun in the sky. No moon, no stars. Nothing. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

He stood watching, wondering if this was how it all ended. If his prophecies that he worried so much about meant nothing in the end as this was where it would all end.

He stood there for nearly an hour before it passed and the sun showed up once again.

Long Tiankong came out of his stupor and quickly looked around the sky, searching for what it might have been. He saw something moving away toward the north. Something... massive.

And to his surprise, the thing nearly blended in with the blue sky, with only a part of its outline showing through at the end. What he saw there shocked him even more, however.

Was... was that... was that a beast in the sky? No, he couldn't even say it was in the sky. It was somewhere beyond the sky, out in the space where no one could go to.

And it was a beast. While he couldn't make much of what he saw, he could make up a tail and two hind legs.

How was there a beast in the sky? How was it alive? How was it breathing?

Long Tiankong couldn't understand what he was looking at. His mind didn't work the way he wanted it to right then.

Finally, he gave up on trying to understand and looked around. He hadn't realized when, but at some point, the girl who had been there was clinging to him, shivering still.

He then realized he was shaking too.

The two comforted each other in silence and later decided to stick together just in case something like that happened once again. Long Tiankong got to know the girl more, and the more he learned about her, the more he realized he did find her attractive, both in appearance and personality.

He didn't care that she was a commoner who had lucked out by being accepted to a sect. He didn't care that she had nothing to her name except for herself.

Long Tiankong's subjects started mentioning in his presence that he should get concubines for himself. When told that he didn't love anyone but his wife, they told him that getting a concubine was not about love but about keeping alive a bloodline.

Long Tiankong ignored them all until his own wife started saying the same things.

"Dear, the Empire needs a prince and I cannot give you one," she said. "I know you love me, but you have a duty to the empire too. You must do what needs to be—"

"No!" Long Tiankong said. "I won't. We will have children and we will have 3." He grumbled. No matter how much he hated himself for him, he knew that to be true.

For he had heard it in the first of the three prophecies.

Three shall be your children; Men of honor. The One that rules, the one that leaves, and the one that is left behind.

"We will have them," he said. "I will visit his Majesty and see if he can help us somehow."

The very next day, Long Tiankong used his medallion to visit the Azure Dragon's realm.

The Azure Dragon's realm was one of beauty and majesty. A ring of forest encircled a ring of flower fields that encircled a massive pond, at the center of which was a massive establishment where the Azure Dragon stayed.

The Dragon Palace, in a way, had been made as a replica of this place, but a much worse version of it.

There were many beasts in the secret realm like there always were. The Azure Dragon needed people tending to his place and he trusted the beasts to do it.

Long Tiankong ignored the beasts and walked up to the edge of the pond before bowing steeply in the direction of where the Azure Dragon would be.

"Your Majesty! This humble servant of yours requests an audience," the Dragon Emperor said to the Azure Dragon.

After a short delay, a voice came from close by.

"Stand up, young man," the voice said. "Tell me what troubles you."

The Dragon Emperor slowly looked up at the bright blue-haired man with a handsome face and impeccable proportions, like a man chiseled by the best stonemason.

Qing Tianchui had arrived before him.
