Skeleton Elf
Chapter 592 Dimensional Power
Whiskey was a bit beyond him, but baijiu was his hometown drink, his specialty. Boss Wangwang also particularly loved it, often hiding it in the cabinet. It was an 80-year-old heirloom in a beautiful blue and white porcelain bottle. After opening it, the liquid was green. Li Hao knew they really weren't fooling the aliens; it was definitely the good stuff.
Before it was Li Hao's turn, Gaia started to spout nonsense. The difference with nobles was that they put in the effort to study art. Combining what Li Hao said, and who knows where she dug up a bunch of information, she was talking a mile a minute.
Kasika just listened. Although he didn't say much, he seemed very happy. This was probably his first time participating in such an activity. The Chakos Technological Empire was the best collaborator and builder, but also the most boring. In this respect, even the insectoids were better. That's why you rarely saw the mechanical race at gatherings. Li Hao didn't care; he was actually very interested in talking robots. He had always wanted to know the difference between the mechanical race and intelligent robots. Humans had always wanted to create intelligent mechanical life at one stage, but ultimately gave up due to various constraints. Touching the surface, it felt like metal, but it wasn't pure metal, and had the touch of organic matter. He wondered if it would spark or leak oil if cut. He couldn't say it before, but with the atmosphere now, Li Hao asked directly. Kasika didn't mind. The mechanical race neither sparked nor leaked oil, but rather used energy liquid, which was also their life source.
"Ninglong, did the Dragon race exert some influence on Earth? I checked your situation, and it seems that after transformation, you look very similar to the divine dragons in our mythology. Can you really transform?" Li Hao asked.
Ninglong also drank a lot, her face flushed. She didn't dissect it, but carefully savored its effect, which was a wonderful feeling.
"There should be, but I don't know the specifics. Human civilization wasn't part of this era's plan, but existed as early as the Galactic Empire era. At that time, other civilizations would exert influence. The Dragon race's transformation has a very complex procedure, which is a secret."
Li Hao really wanted Ninglong to show off a talent, but he wasn't drunk enough yet. It was just a thought. He felt that even with Ninglong's good temper, she could still beat Li Hao up.
Gasmi drank until her whole body glowed blue. Anyway, she was very happy, squinting her small eyes and slurping non-stop, a typical case of little talk and a lot of drinking.
Of everyone, these three were the liveliest. It wasn't as enjoyable as it could be, because the wine ran out. The Jin Cancan family searched everywhere, but these high-vintage wines were already rare. Not many were allocated to the Star River Alliance's main industries. They were now considering lowering their standards. No matter how good something was, if the quantity wasn't enough, it couldn't generate enough profit.
There was a staircase nearby. Li Hao and Ninglong stood side by side on the top floor. Above them was the starry sky of Diwu Star. Not far away was the towering energy light column of the Eternal Crystal. The night sky under the light curtain was extraordinarily dazzling. The Starforging Dragons had seen countless beautiful stars.
Unfortunately, Li Hao had also seen them, perhaps even more.
"Miss Ninglong, what can I do for you?" Li Hao asked.
Ninglong brushed back her long hair, which could echo the starry sky. Her breath carried a faint scent of wine. She gently pursed her lips, "How was my performance?"
Obviously, this wasn't a coincidence. The human in front of her wasn't an ordinary person. If she refused, there might be no follow-up. This was inherently a mutually probing rule. For the Awakened, respect must be given.
Li Hao smiled. He certainly wouldn't be narcissistic. The Dragon race came to him, but he wouldn't think he was the son of destiny. It was probably because there was trouble.
"Mr. Li Hao is the Awakened of human civilization, meaning he leads the evolution of civilization, and carries traces of dimension power. I wonder if it's convenient for you to tell me about it?" Ninglong asked softly, "This is a task for our Dragon race traveling the Star Alliance."
From the moment Li Hao stepped into the Star Alliance, he knew that he would face many unknown forces. Past secrets or powers might not be anything in the eyes of some people. He himself also had many things he wanted to know. In any case, with Ninglong's status, she gave him enough face, and it wasn't abrupt to ask at this time.
"What are the traces of dimension power?" Li Hao didn't answer directly.
"All beings with souls have a dream. Our Dragon race believes this is a gift from the Creator, giving us a channel to higher dimensions. From a technological perspective, this is a space. Powerful forces can interfere with a life form's soul through dreams, either strengthening or controlling it, exerting influence on it. And these life forms will leave traces of dimension power on their bodies." Ninglong looked at the human beside her. From the first moment they met, this person showed no timidity of a low-level civilization, nor the fearlessness of the ignorant. That kind of gaze was one that had seen the stars and the sea.
"It seems you have some understanding of humans. I've also heard that whoever gets the support of the Starforging Dragons is destined for greatness?" Li Hao asked with a smile.
"Do you believe it?"
"It doesn't matter. Humans are very weak. Friends, the more the better," Li Hao glanced at the Dragon girl beside him. "From the moment we humans were born, we have actually received interference from various forces, whether it's dreams or other things. Even now, I have received interference from dimension power. I still don't know what this force wants to do. I also want to know the answer. I even suspect if it's the Starforging Dragons?"
The two looked at each other, observing each other. Ninglong smiled slightly. "It's not the Dragon race. What's on you isn't the Dragon race's mark. There are many who can exert this kind of power. The universe is mysterious, and there are many unknown forces, as long as it hasn't been corrupted by void creatures."
"The void?"
"Yes, the Starforging Dragon race's mission is actually to maintain the balance of life. In the unknown space, there are powerful creatures. The void creatures that the Star River Alliance has been destroying are only a part of them. The Dragon race's ancestors believed that there were intelligent beings hidden in the void, and the void creatures were just tools to help them descend into this universe. The Dragon race was born to eliminate these forces," Ninglong said.
Li Hao had naturally come into contact with void creatures, and had even eliminated them. In the vastness of the universe, they were just a kind of life form. The Dragon race had added a lot of other colors to it. "Frankly speaking, it sounds like a story. Is this true?"
Ninglong was stunned, then suddenly smiled. "I don't know, I really don't know. I haven't really thought about this question seriously. Fortunately, you don't have any traces of being polluted by void power on you, otherwise I would have suspected you. However, from your tone, I sensed dissatisfaction with the current order." "You're too sensitive. That's just the current situation of humans. So I want to know, the Dragon race created the concept of the Dragon God on Earth, so now that we've joined the Star River Alliance, what will happen next?" Li Hao's eyes were burning.
Ninglong suddenly smiled playfully, "I don't know about that. I'm just a young little dragon. I've only been in the Heavenly Human World for a little over a year. I can't represent anything."
This move of retreating to advance made it difficult for Li Hao to go further. He was also repeatedly testing the Dragon girl's attitude. Of course, he also mainly knew the habits of the Starforging Dragons, and wouldn't just start fighting after a few words. Moreover, he understood that Ninglong sensed his power through some means. Although she couldn't know the true strength, it was definitely not what ordinary people saw, so she could speak so equally.
This universe always operated according to the level of power. Although there was a glimmer of hope, it was clear that the Dragon race wouldn't help humans, and there was no reason to.
"Can I touch your face?" Ninglong suddenly said.
Li Hao was stunned, then nodded. He felt that the Dragon girl probably meant something else.
Ninglong's hand gently touched Li Hao's face. It was a strange feeling, neither cold nor hot. Immediately afterwards, both of their bodies began to glow. Ninglong's body had an emerald-like glow, and Li Hao's body also emitted a faint golden glow. Almost simultaneously, terrifying power uncontrollably surged out of their bodies, but in the next moment, both of them immediately suppressed it.
"What a powerful soul, but most of it is sadness and loneliness. Is it the warm flame at the core that's protecting you?" Ninglong seemed to sense the浓郁sorrow, but further confirmed that Li Hao didn't obtain power from the void. "Dimension power is either a gift or a disaster. I think what you received was a gift. You controlled the power, instead of being controlled by the power."
Ninglong gave Li Hao a warm hug. This was a pure soul hug. The Starforging Dragons were too sensitive to souls.
Li Hao smiled, "Would you say we're beginning a friendship?"
"Ah, I thought we already were," Ninglong said, "I've suffered a loss."
The basic definition of friends was similar, but the definition of what a friend *is* was very different. But this was a good start.
"Haha, Ninglong, does the Dragon race have a way to trace dimension power?" Li Hao still had more goodwill than suspicion towards the Dragon race. On one hand, it was culture, and on the other hand, it was the feeling of the soul. In the Star Alliance, compared to making enemies, it was better to unite everyone who could be united.
"Yes, it's difficult, very dangerous. My suggestion is, without enough power and full certainty, don't try it easily," Ninglong said. "Any powerful force doesn't like being窥探ed, and the backlash will be very terrible."
Li Hao smiled. He felt Ninglong's sincerity and nodded.
"I finally felt your sincere smile. You don't trust others easily," Ninglong said with a smile.
"Ah, I've always been sincere," Li Hao touched his nose.
"Very fake!"
"Impossible, I've practiced it, professional smile!"
"You smile even faker than that Kasika."
"Wow, I can't accept that. I'll have to drink three cups with you later."
"No way, we've already drunk it all," Ninglong also let go of her feelings.
"Are you very familiar with De Flandis?" Li Hao suddenly asked.
Ninglong wasn't surprised, but blinked her moving eyes, and a ripple appeared in her eyes, "In what way?"
Seeing that Li Hao didn't speak, Ninglong smiled slightly, "If it were someone else, I think they would be jealous, but I know you're just reminding me."
Li Hao touched his nose. "Are all Dragon race people this厉害?"
