Chapter 1176: Master Zhu is Still Alive!
The Dragon King Kadrigus and the other four Dragon Lords halted about a hundred meters away from Su Yu.
Kadrigus was the first to bow respectfully to Su Yu, saying, "Welcome to our Dragon Island, Su Yu and Xiaotian! Thank you for bringing Coco back. I never thought you would actually encounter her."
The other four Dragon Lords followed suit, bowing to Su Yu and Xiaotian. Even the White Dragon Queen, who was holding Coco, nodded respectfully to them.
The dragons had no choice but to adopt a humble demeanor.
Though this was their territory, Su Yu and Xiaotian were far more powerful than they were.
Su Yu had reached the pinnacle of the Divine Realm, while Xiaotian was in the lower tier of the Divine Realm. The strongest among the dragons, Dragon King Kadrigus, was also in the lower tier of the Divine Realm, on par with Xiaotian.
If a conflict were to break out, Su Yu and Xiaotian together could easily annihilate the entire dragon race. Hence, the Dragon King and the Dragon Lords were all very courteous.
Su Yu and Xiaotian noticed their respectful attitude but didn't take it too seriously.
They had no intention of destroying the dragon race; it would serve no purpose for the humans of Blue Star. Moreover, they had some matters they wanted the dragons to assist with.
Su Yu smiled and nodded, "Xiaotian and I were inspecting the situation in the Wild Continent earlier. The Wild Continent is now a desolate wasteland, with not a single living creature to be found.
At the entrance of the 'Beloberg Secret Realm,' we unexpectedly encountered Coco.
Based on Coco's condition, we speculated that Dalk might spare your dragon race. So, we rushed over here.
It seems that Dalk did indeed spare you?"
"Indeed," Dragon King Kadrigus said, still feeling a lingering fear. "Dalk did spare us. After all, we are dragons, and our bloodline is no different from that of the interstellar dragons."
He tilted his head and looked toward the east, continuing, "Four days after Coco left, Dalk emerged from the Sun Secret Realm.
That afternoon, it contacted us and informed us that the dragon race on Dragon Island would not be sacrificed, nor would the dragons in other continents be consumed by the Blood Fog.
Although Dalk almost destroyed our entire planet of Skrul, we, the dragon race, do not, or rather, dare not hate it, as it did not attack us."
"Ah, I understand," Su Yu sighed lightly. "We should be grateful that it was Dalk, a dragon.
If the Dark Energy Planet that descended on our two planets had been the Saint Silver or the Insectoids, we might all have been obliterated!"
"True, Dalk is not the type to exterminate everything in its path," Dragon King Kadrigus agreed. "It didn't attack Dragon Island, and more than that, it allowed us to preserve the sparks of life for the various races of Skrul.
You might not believe this, but even though the outside of Dragon Island has been consumed by the Blood Fog, the majority of the intelligent beings of Skrul have not been wiped out. Their sparks of life are being preserved on Dragon Island."
"Really? Such a thing?" Su Yu and Xiaotian were taken aback.
The dragons had actually preserved the sparks of life for the major intelligent races of Skrul? This was something they hadn't expected at all!
"Indeed, it's true," Dragon King Kadrigus nodded, then smiled mysteriously. "By the way, among those preserved, there are a few individuals you will certainly recognize. I think you'll be quite surprised when you see them!"
Dragon King Kadrigus flipped in mid-air, pointing his front claw toward a specific area in the southwest of Dragon Island.
Su Yu and Xiaotian exchanged a glance, their mental energies simultaneously probing in the direction he indicated.
But before their mental energies had traveled too far, they were both shocked!
For they immediately detected a figure that was extremely familiar to them.
"Am I seeing things? It's Senior Zhu Yuanzhang!" Su Yu was utterly shocked.
"Really! It's Emperor Hongwu!" Little Tian also widened his eyes in surprise.
Their mental probes revealed Senior Zhu! He was flying towards them at an incredible speed. He was alive! And he was on Dragon Island!
Moreover, Senior Zhu was no longer in his Skrull disguise but in his true form as a human from Earth! He was flying in the sky, revealing his true self.
Even more surprising was what came next.
Behind Senior Zhu, several other Tier 6 powerhouses were also flying towards them. These included Cindy Doppler, the Speaker of the Beck Parliament, Princess Dokni of the Bald Eagle, and Prince Lansi of the Lingxi...
At a glance, they were all familiar faces! Su Yu and Little Tian couldn't believe it; these friends were still alive! Who could have imagined this? They had all survived under the protection of the dragons!
Fortunately, they had been on the same side as the dragons before the war, or they wouldn't have received such treatment. In the end, Su Yu and Little Tian felt much more relieved.
If the dragons could help preserve the Skrull race, they should be able to help preserve some of Earth's human population as well, right?
With the dragons' help, Earth's humans wouldn't go extinct!
As for whether the future of Earth's humans would be oppressed by the dragons... well, that was a problem for another day. First, they needed to survive!
...
A few minutes later, Senior Zhu, Cindy Doppler, and Dokni arrived at the area where Su Yu and Little Tian were.
Su Yu and Little Tian hurried over to greet them.
"Senior Zhu, I never thought you were still alive!" Su Yu was extremely excited. "Little Tian and I just visited the Makaton Kingdom and saw the abandoned Makaton City. We thought the worst, but to see you here is a miracle!"
"Of course, I owe my life to the protection of our dragon friends," Senior Zhu said gratefully, turning to the dragons. "If the dragons hadn't called me to Dragon Island at the last moment, I would surely be dead by now."
"I owe my life to them as well," Cindy Doppler added. "Thank you, Dragon King, for taking me in. Without you, I wouldn't have survived, let alone preserve the hope for my people."
Princess Dokni bowed deeply to the Dragon King. "Thank you so much, Dragon King!"
"Not at all, we are friends," Dragon King Cadrigus smiled. "Isn't it only natural to help a friend in times of crisis? Besides, Su Yu and Xu Xiaotian also helped us bring back Coco. There's no need to be so formal among friends."
"Regardless, I must thank you deeply."
"There's no need for such formalities."
After a round of mutual compliments, everyone laughed heartily, and the atmosphere was warm and friendly.
Su Yu and Little Tian, however, continued to extend their mental probes towards the southwestern region of Dragon Island.
Their mental powers were far beyond the average god-tier. A broad sweep immediately covered the entire area.
After a brief exploration, they quickly understood the situation in this region.
To put it bluntly, this area had become a small "Noah's Ark."
From what they could see, there were Skrull children, Bald Eagle chicks, Lingxi cubs, and various other intelligent species, including the primary food source, the Crown Bird chicks. Each species numbered between 100 to 200 individuals, led by a Tier 6 or Tier 7 powerhouse. This was clearly the last hope for these intelligent species.
