Rise of the White Dragon Chapter 253

The giants were seen heading to the Dimas family's Island. Though they wanted to find out what was going on, they couldn't look through the barrier that was formed around the island. Not from the sky, because the clouds didn't let them see, nor from the front.

"Luan, we're not coming in now are we?" Ingrid asked softly.

"No, we can't go yet. For now, I'm going to purify these Monster Cores. With that, I can create more things and use them to strengthen us. Then we can go in, I still want to keep an eye on Grandpa." Luan said slowly as they looked towards the city.

Ingrid put her head on his shoulder, and smiled slightly: "I see, we don't need to be in a hurry now, we're very strong and it's important to protect Grandpa if necessary."

"Yes." Luan nodded.

Around planet Earth, many smaller countries have already started to lose their territories to other races, but they weren't enslaved or anything like that, they even received the best treatment and the monsters that haunt these smaller countries were killed by these races.

This made many other people from other countries want the same. They wanted to be conquered so that these living beings of other races would get rid of the monsters for them.

The larger countries were on alert, it was easy to predict why they were doing this. They wanted to conquer the people, pretending to be good, and giving them good resources and privileges, and making other countries want to be dominated by them. That way, they would get it a lot easier. Of course, it's not that simple, many races had different thoughts, some were actually doing it without ulterior motives, but they were in the minority.

Races like the giants who care about the lives of other races are quite unique, even humans are like that, they care more about themselves even than other races, although things have been changing, even so, when the video of the Elf committing cannibalism and eating humans, they began to be racist against that race.

Even though Luan had explained that although they are of the same race, the Elves are not all the same, the prejudice was already done and many began to suspect each step they took. Some found that indeed some Elves were like that, which made the prejudice against them grow.

"Mm, Luan?" Ingrid hesitated.

"Yea? Can ask." Luan noticed her hesitation.

"Well, am I going to be really selfish if I say I'm glad you went back in time?" Ingrid sighed softly when she asked.

"Mm, I think the same. If it's selfishness, then so be it." Luan kissed her cheek and smiled.

Ingrid smiled a little and muttered, "Can you tell me a little about the woman who killed you?"

Luan smiled wryly and said, "She was the one who made me a virgin for almost a thousand years, teaching me a technique that made me helpless, of course, I didn't blame her before, but now I have some suspicions. And I confirmed many doubts I had on the 50th floor."

"Is she here now?" Ingrid asked since she went back in time, was it possible that she was, as Luan said that this was the final stage, meaning no more people would show up after this, although they would strengthen now that they no longer have dimensional slit restrictions, and the towers help a lot.

"No and yes." Luan said with a slight tone of concern: "She, as I suspected, is not from this planet. The current she is nothing more than a girl of witch lineage who knows nothing, however, is about to enter the tower. Something or someone took her body right now, but it won't happen again."

"Oh, how are you so sure?" Ingrid asked in surprise.

"Because the earth went back in time but not the universe? Or should I say everything apart from the land continued? I found a place that I with 4 friends did when we started training. And this place exists. And... There are legends of me, legends talking about the White Emperor."

"So wait. That doesn't make sense, why did she kill you?" Ingrid asked.

"Isn't that easy to guess? I said I arrived in the Seventh Order. She tried to destroy my soul with Leviathan and possessed my body." Luan remembered Ishmael and chuckled at himself: "If she did it herself, she could have turned into a woman if she used the tower resource."

"Wow! Is it if this really happened? I mean, it's just speculation you made, yes?" Ingrid asked.

"Yes, I'm not sure, that's why it's annoying." Luan sighed, but soon put on a confident look: "But, I'll make it to the Seventh Order again, after I've done it once, building what I once did, it's not a mystery, although it will take time. But, I have to be cautious if they suspect that I am the White Emperor. They might want to kill me while I'm still weak."

"It makes sense." Ingrid thought and shivered a little and said, "But doesn't that also endanger the people of the earth? I mean, haven't they just disappeared from the tower for years and are coming back now?"

"Not exactly. There are many living beings that look like us. And there are always new constellations connecting the tower. They might think it's just a similar breed." Luan said: "But, there are many like you who came to have the name known, which makes it dangerous to go to the tower without disguising, for now on floors below 50, there is no problem, as only beginners are there, however, the beings on the 50th floor are totally different. The more you explore, the easier it is to find powerful living beings."

"Are there others in the Seventh Order?" Ingrid couldn't even imagine how powerful a living being in the Seventh Order would be.

"I didn't get a lot of information, just a few rumors, which is unreliable. But, there are at least 10 of them." Luan said: "But, they don't move randomly, most of the time, they must be ruling a large part of the 50th floor. In fact, the 50th floor is at least as big as our universe. You walk, and you look like an ant walking on our planet, it's so small you feel on it."

"Wow!" Ingrid took a deep breath. It was a lot of information, and she needed some time to digest.

After a while, Ingrid asked, "Do you know who created the tower?"

"No, I have no idea who created the earth, let alone the tower, which is even more mysterious. However, when I got to the Seventh Order, I understood something and that is that the earth itself is an intelligent, newborn being."

"…Wait, is the earth an intelligent being? How do you know about this?" Ingrid asked, scared.

Luan said softly: "By the time I arrived at the Seventh Order, I saw him and talked for a few seconds with the earth, but I was killed before I understood anything. Of course, it may be a delusion, but it was very real, I'm pretty sure of what I saw and heard."

"Like wow! I mean, wow!" Ingrid couldn't describe what she was feeling. It was harrowing and impressive at the same time.

"That's why I don't want Mom and the rest to be in such a hurry to get to the 50th floor. As long as they're on the 45th floor, they'll be safe. Until I get to at least the Fifth Order and can use more of my formation skills, and disguise spells, it's better to go the safest route and as I said, it took me almost a thousand years to get to the Seventh Order, it's not so simple to climb in power with nowhere to start, however, with me around, that's irrelevant, I'm already basically the architect, as long as I look at the body structure, I'm able to understand and can give advice on how to evolve faster. Even in the choice of technique."

"I understand that, but then why do you want to go to the 50th floor? Isn't it better to stay on the 45th floor?" Ingrid asked with visible fear. She was afraid that something dangerous would happen to Luan, unlike the earth, inside the tower on the 50th floor he is not invincible.

"I can not do this." Luan smiled softly at her and rubbed her hair: "If I do this, I will create an inner enemy and I will start having blockages in the cultivation. I can't stop just because there's a wall in front of me holding me back, I need to move on, but of course, that doesn't mean I have to act rashly. I will disguise my scent, aura, Qi, etc. As I said, I can't let them find out that I'm the White Emperor."

"Mm." Ingrid nodded and asked, "If I was that well known, should I go undercover too, yes?"

"No, and yes, you are you, but at the same time, you are not. Mm, your old one was crueler, and had a bloodier aura, and a stronger blood smell. Now, although you have the same powers, you did it differently and don't let yourself be dominated by the desire to stay strong and end up losing control." Luan said remember when he saw Ingrid in her previous life.

"Was I that amazing? I mean, it's hard to imagine, but well, if you hadn't changed my future, maybe I would have followed the same path…" Ingrid sighed and shivered a little as she muttered, "I'm scared, scared to start remembering, What if it's not just you, but everyone starts to remember? Cristina, her mother, etc. They've been through terrible things too, yes?"

"I thought about it, but it doesn't exist. I'm good at seeing the memory of people and every one I read, even your sister, my uncle, father, grandfather, etc. none of them have sealed memories, if they did I would be able to see. Something or someone made me come back, I'm good at finding treasures, maybe it's some of the treasures I haven't identified, or for another reason, honestly, it's still a mystery to me how I got back and why I'm the only one who has the memories from the past life."

"Somehow I'm relieved." Ingrid smiled a little: "I wouldn't want to remember. I prefer to be the way I am."

"Mm." Luan nodded and said: "No need to worry, there is no such possibility, you are you, and yourself in my previous life never existed, or rather has it died? I am from my previous life, but not at the same time. Things I would do before, I don't do now, things I would like before, I don't like now, like my love for you. It only exists in this life, what we're living is now, so what happened regardless of the reason, it's not what I am, but what I was, understand?"

"In parts, yes." Ingrid kissed his cheek and said, "Don't worry, I won't treat you like a thousand year old virgin, hehehe~"

"That was pure evil." Luan bit her cheek and left the imprint of his teeth that soon began to fade.

"Maybe I'm still a little mean~" Ingrid laughed with a giggle that made her shoulder shake and the pretty dimples appear on her cheeks.
