The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System

Chapter 772: 772 - The notes of the great creator (02)

They were simple words, but each one made Qingyi’s chest tremble, his heart race, and his cultivation stir restlessly within him.

That... wasn’t what he’d expected.

They seemed like the words of a god that, little by little, dissolved into the words of a man.

It wasn’t bad, just...

He hadn’t expected that.

Beside him, he heard Auranys sniffle softly, her eyes already filled with tears that streamed silently down her face.

Without hesitation, he pulled her against his chest in a firm embrace, feeling her body tremble slightly in his arms, his own heart weighed down.

Those were the words of the creator. Of the creator of cultivation, of the creator of the very language he spoke, of the stars that warmed his skin.

They were the words of an absolute being, but, deep down, they seemed more like the words of a father marked by pain.

For a moment, he closed the book, feeling the turmoil within his cultivation grow ever stronger.

The Qi condensed within him without any resistance, until, quite naturally, he advanced to the third stage of the Cosmic Domination Realm.

His aura grew steadier, and his heart, more resolute.

They were simple words, yet they seemed to carry a power of their own, capable of weaving the very soul of whoever read them.

Qingyi had already heard of this.

Books, poems, and phrases left behind by ancient cultivators—so powerful that merely reading them was enough to influence the cultivation of whoever came across them.

He had already skimmed through many texts by great masters, but this was the first time he had felt something like this firsthand.

It was truly incredible.

"Are you all right?" he asked Auranys, who merely offered a bitter, almost broken smile.

"Do you know why we, the children of the Celestial Father, hate the immortal golden dragon emperor, Qianyao’s father’s great-grandfather, so much?" she asked, her voice low, interrupted by a stifled sob.

That note from her grandfather had shaken Auranys much more deeply than it had shaken Qingyi.

"No..." He shook his head slowly, his hand sliding down her delicate back in a gesture of comfort.

"When he first arrived in the Celestial Heaven, Father didn’t even know of the existence of the place he came from... Even so, Father not only accepted him, but also gave him permission to live there, and even helped him open a portal to bring everyone he loved out of the lower heavens."

"At first, there was peace. Until, one day, Father left, and when he returned, he was wounded, a terrible black gash tearing open his chest..."

"Was it his older brother who did that to him?"

"I don’t know. I’ve never met him, nor did I even know he existed until now. But he was the only one powerful enough to do that..."

"That day, with our father wounded, the immortal golden dragon emperor bared his true fangs, started that cursed war, and poisoned our father before killing him."

"That is the source of our hatred."

Auranys used a thread of mana to wipe away her own tears, keeping her face pressed against Qingyi’s chest, her small hands clutching the front of his tunic tightly.

"You can go rest a bit if you want. I’ll keep studying this." Qingyi spoke softly, placing a gentle kiss on her lips.

Auranys simply nodded silently, then left the cultivation room, returning to the world of the mind and leaving Qingyi alone with his thoughts.

The handsome young man let out a silent sigh, standing up and stretching, feeling his joints crack slightly after so long in the same position.

He took one last look at his system screen, smiling with satisfaction as he realized that the lust points he received from Rou’er had risen significantly now that she was focusing more on cultivation.

Of course, that was the least of it.

What pleased him most was seeing that his affinities had increased—more than enough for him to feel the difference immediately.

Qingyi sensed that, if he wanted to, he could even raise his lineage back to its peak.

He didn’t do that, however. He knew it would likely lead to trouble; after all, even the system advanced his lineage with extreme caution.

It was better not to risk exploding like an idiot just because of his own greed.

After a brief moment contemplating the status screen, Qingyi let out a sigh, sitting cross-legged once more.

He picked up the book and opened it again.

Honestly, he was a little concerned about the last part of those notes.

The Great Creator had clearly written those notes at different times, and that was something Qingyi could easily tell.

Most likely, the Great Creator had expanded on them as his first creation grew, right up until the day of the betrayal.

From the Great Creator’s words, it was clear: he expected whoever inherited this book to kill his eldest son.

Qingyi wasn’t a fool.

It was obvious that the Great Creator’s son would be powerful—more powerful than anything in the Celestial Heavens, perhaps even more powerful than anything in the Land of the True Gods.

Even the Dragon God of Corruption at his peak was likely nothing compared to such a being.
