Chapter 354: This Woman Came From Earth

“Who is Silverlight?”

Xiao Lin thought about it and decided to first determine who that mysterious woman was. If the black dragon agreed to give them the shard, then it meant they could probably head back, but it was still not the end. Considering the fact that the half-dead half-alive woman was still there, whose skill far surpassed their own, Xiao Lin felt his hairs stand on end.

“She came from that beautiful blue planet,” the black dragon said in a calm voice, as if she was saying nothing of importance. She even cast a strange look at Xiao Lin, as if Xiao Lin should be clearer on the subject.

Xiao Lin almost tripped on himself. Regardless of how many possibilities he went through in his mind, the dragon’s answer exceeded them all: that woman came from Earth!

If not for the dragon in front of him, Xiao Lin would have almost jumped up and cursed, ‘Do you think we’re all idiots like you? Quit joking! That woman looks nothing like a human from Earth!’

Xiao Lin definitely had never seen anyone with three eyes from Earth!

He was preparing a retort, but suddenly felt someone tug on his shirt. Turning around, he noticed Lilith shaking her head with a bewildered look.

“Do you think this woman is speaking nonsense as well?” Xiao Lin said those words in Mandarin, and felt a great sense of satisfaction after saying it.

Lilith replied in Mandarin as well, but her tone was a little strange. “Have you ever heard of the legend of Atlantis?”

“The legendary ancient civilization that supposedly sank into the sea? I’ve heard of it, of course, but that’s just a myth with no proof at all. Does it even have anything to do with us?”

“A three-eyed race. In Judge Academy’s archives on Earth, there’s a large amount of information on ancient legends, and a three-eyed race is part of those records. In ancient history, there were once three-eyed humans on Earth, but they disappeared alongside Atlantis and were never seen since.”

After a pause, Lilith continued, “I’ve always treated it as some mythical stories to pass the time with, but if what this black dragon is saying is true…”

If the legend of the three-eyed race was true, then that mysterious woman might really be from Earth, and was a human, but only an ancient species.

Xiao Lin felt like he was in over his head. He then thought of the oracle bone scripts he had seen before. They were shaped like hieroglyphs, which were the earliest form of writing for humans. If that was the case, it was possible that humans had actually visited Planet Norma a very, very long time ago.

Setting aside the problem for now, even if the mysterious woman was from Earth, Xiao Lin did not feel like she would let them off just because they were from the same planet.

Seeing Xiao Lin’s worry, the black dragon continued, “You don’t have to worry. The shard is what’s keeping her here. Without it, she will naturally leave and not cause you any trouble. She’s not someone who enjoys pointless slaughter, I understand that much. Ah, it’s a pity the person who used this shard initially was blind and did not know its true value.”

Xiao Lin almost said out loud, ‘I want to know what this shard is used for as well.’

Ivan’s memory gave Xiao Lin very limited information, only telling him that those shards were very important, even possibly involving both Earth and Planet Norma, imploring him to collect them. However, Xiao Lin still did not even know what the shards actually looked like despite having a piece with him.

The three of them walked for a long time, eventually reaching the center of this world. There was a tall volcano, and looking down the gigantic mouth of the volcano, dark red lava could be seen flowing. The heat was so intense, it could be seen. Xiao Lin cast a glance before looking away.

“The shard is here.”

“How should I retrieve it?” Xiao Lin once again felt like he was in over his head. How could he dive inside to search for the shard?

“Would you like me to help you retrieve it?” The black dragon lady raised her eyebrow, a playful look on her face.

“Since you’re helping us, just help us till the end.” Xiao Lin knew that the dragon race would not be afraid of lava.

“Fine, but it’ll count as me doing you a favor, so you have to pay me back in the future.”

Her condition was undoubtedly enticing. After all, if a Legend-ranked being like her could not solve a problem, Xiao Lin would naturally be of no help, so it was practically a free favor. However, Xiao Lin naturally had his doubts. He felt like the woman was hiding something in her words, but Xiao Lin did not really have a choice, giving it some thought before nodding in agreement.

At the black dragon’s request, Xiao Lin and Lilith left the mouth of the volcano, even heading a few miles away, only stopping when the woman was just a tiny dot in their vision.

“Do you really believe what the woman said?” Lilith finally asked.

“Not really, but she doesn’t really need to lie to us,” Xiao Lin said what was on his mind.

“That shard, the one brought back from The Final Lands, you’ve seen it before right? Ivanovich.”

Xiao Lin nodded. “You saw him as well?”

“Yes. The shard has his memory in it. I just feel that it’s weird. Since Ivanovich went to The Final Lands and found the shard, why didn’t he just take it away instead of leaving it there?”

“I’m more curious as to the use for the Shards of Creation. Ivanovich said that the shards had a great effect on Planet Norma and Earth, so I’m quite curious.”

As they talked, the sky was suddenly filled with the cry of a dragon. The woman had turned back into her dragon form and flew into the sky. After that, bright gray light began to condense. That was the condensation of draconic power, but the condensation time this time was short, showing that the power it contained was also reduced.

Boom!

Xiao Lin actually saw a miniature version of draconic power this time. The incredibly hot energy condensed and shot out as a gray pillar of light from the dragon’s mouth, piercing straight into the volcano.

There was less than a second of silence before the entire world began to shake. Even though it was not to the degree it was before, they could still feel it. Even with them being miles away, the force of the power was still very strong. It was no wonder the black dragon had asked them to go far away. Xiao Lin immediately took out his Holy Soul Sword and stuck it on the ground as an anchor. Lilith did the same as well.

They bitterly held on against the shockwave of power. Thanks to the dragon’s control, the draconic power only lasted about ten seconds before slowly dissipating, but the volcano erupted after that. Lava started to shoot out with traces of dark gray sulfur.

In the flow of lava, a flaming ball-shaped–a few meters long–object shot up into the sky as well. It then started floating in mid-air as the flames started to dissipate, revealing a vibrantly glowing five-colored orb.
