The sunset had completely disappeared, and the blood moon's radiance once again shone upon this land.
Ever since the doomsday game began, the sun during the day had been normal, but the moon at night had always been in its blood-red form.
Under the blood moon's glow, the frequency of void rifts appearing would increase, and the monsters roaming the wilds would become even more frenzied.
However, even the most frenzied monsters would not actively attack the only two remaining cities of Great Yan at this moment.
This was because the deaths of too many of their own kind had made them understand who the true masters of this land were.
Within Starfire City, people who had toiled for a day were enjoying dinner at home.
Unlike the citizens of the Imperial Capital, who had largely preserved their complete family structures, the millions of survivors in Starfire City were all rescued by Chen Luo from various parts of Great Yan.
Most of them had lost their family and friends in the past six months, so their recognition of Chen Luo, the savior, was the highest.
After more than half a year of adjustment, people had gradually emerged from their pain, and some had even remarried.
As a result, Starfire City had gained more vitality, and under Chen Luo's leadership, people were slowly recovering from the doomsday of civilization.
On the streets of Starfire City, two figures, one tall and one short, walked freely amidst the returning crowds. The people around them seemed unable to perceive their presence.
The dragon girl, who had transformed her scales into a white dress, took a bite of the candied hawthorn in her hand with a surprised expression and exclaimed, "Master, your skill is amazing! I never thought eating could be so much fun!"
Chen Luo casually put away the summoned food table and understood why the dragon loli was so amazed.
Domain-level powerhouses like Violet, who could withstand nuclear explosions with their bodies, had long lost the need to eat.
The energy provided by food was merely a drop in the bucket for their daily energy requirements.
Furthermore, the sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy sensations that ordinary people felt were so weak for powerhouses that the flavors of common foods were almost imperceptible.
And it wasn't just about eating. Take this dragon loli, who looked cute and easy to bully.
Even in her human form, her body was strong enough to bathe directly in lava.
If a bad guy tried to harm her, even if the dragon girl stood still, the attacker would only feel the pain of hitting a steel plate.
This was the fundamental difference in life tiers; mortal bodies could not penetrate the dragon girl's defenses.
Chen Luo was an exception. The Qi and Blood martial art, a racial foundation skill, was terrifying in its ability to self-regulate the body.
Therefore, Chen Luo could fully enjoy ordinary food and communicate normally with ordinary people.
However, it was not impossible for powerhouses to enjoy delicacies.
For example, if the dragon girl were to go to the Earth's core and swallow lava directly, she might experience a hint of spiciness.
Moreover, if powerhouses had similar control abilities to Chen Luo, allowing them to perfectly control their power and posture, they could also enjoy ordinary food like Chen Luo.
But unfortunately, the dragon girl preferred sleeping and fighting. She was skilled at amplifying her power, not at fine-tuning it.
The blizzard that had such a wide impact earlier was a manifestation of her uncontrollable energy leakage.
This resulted in the dragon girl, in her tens of thousands of years of dragon life, never having truly enjoyed the pleasure of eating.
With a few quick bites, her small silver teeth finished the candied hawthorn. The dragon girl blinked her large eyes and looked at Chen Luo with longing, "I want more."
Chen Luo casually handed her another one, "Here, have it."
"But eat all you want, have you understood what I told you?"
The dragon girl quickly took the candied hawthorn with her small pink hands and took a bite with each mouth.
Her fair cheeks moved rapidly as she chewed, her cheeks puffing up like a little hamster.
The sweet and sour taste, which she had never experienced before, made the dragon girl's eyes squint with happiness.
Seeing her like this, Chen Luo sighed inwardly again.
This glutton, I used to consider her my lifelong enemy?
...
After taking the dragon girl as his mount, Chen Luo first sent the soldiers from the Frozen Battlefield to the Imperial Capital.
As the dragon girl had said, after being unfrozen, everyone was unharmed.
However, looking at the drastically changed surroundings, they were a bit confused. After all, their memories were still stuck in the time when the world had just changed a few months ago.
Chen Luo was too lazy to explain, so after pulling Zhuge Yun over, he and the dragon girl made their escape.
Violet's essence was that of a child of the abyss in her Frost Dragon form. She could switch freely between her dragon and human forms.
The vast distance between the Imperial Capital and Starfire City was merely a matter of a few wing flaps for this dragon.
Upon returning to the city, the dragon girl resumed her human form and obediently followed Chen Luo into the city.
This was the first time in tens of thousands of years that the dragon girl had observed the society of weak creatures.
After all, for a race that could sleep for hundreds of years, a weak race that could go through four or five generations within a single nap was indeed not worth observing.
But after being defeated by Chen Luo, the dragon girl developed curiosity towards humans for the first time. After entering the city, she began her observation of humans.
It was dinner time, and having never eaten before, she was very curious about the human act of eating.
After all, as a powerful being naturally capable of absorbing void energy, low-level energy conversion methods like eating and excreting were no longer applicable to her.
Moreover, for most of her tens of thousands of years, the dragon girl had spent her time in a cycle of sleeping-finding a fight-sleeping.
The concept of delicious food simply did not exist in her memory.
However, her curiosity drove her to ask Chen Luo about the feeling of eating.
The result was that this dragon girl had gained another attribute besides being a battle-maniac: she was a glutton.
The dragon girl was squinting, savoring the unprecedented taste in her mouth.
But upon hearing Chen Luo's question, she swallowed the food and quickly replied, "Mmm, are you talking about the so-called Genesis Plan?"
"Using your talent to make the entire world your territory, and unifying all of humanity's strength to fight against the invaders from the second act onwards?"
Chen Luo nodded gently. Seeing that she had finished eating, he handed her another one, "Yes, after defeating you, I can bring the entire Great Yan under my territory."
"And before, you should have been the strongest existence in this world, right?"
"From your perspective, how feasible do you think my idea is?"
The dragon girl caught the new lollipop and popped it into her mouth.
The sweetness she had never experienced before gave her an indescribable sense of happiness.
However, upon hearing Chen Luo's question, she furrowed her brow and said, "Putting your plan aside, you've got one thing wrong."
