Chapter 386. The Codex
[Awakening Calendar Day 145]
[Pain Level 139 Million, Desire 58.91%]
[Dragon Codex, Book of Joel Chapter 17, It is said that a god has a duty to restrain evil thoughts, suppress delusions, adhere to the responsibilities of a god, and guide believers to the right path.]
[Dragon Codex, Revelation Chapter 3, It is said that you should maintain reverence, a pure spirit, and faithful righteousness; only then will you be pleasing to the gods.]
[Dragon Code]
[.]
[Undoubtedly, I am guilty.]
[But I am not an Evil Dragon.]
[Evil dragons indulge their desires unrestrainedly. I know restraint. Evil dragons slaughter their subjects wantonly. I cherish them. Evil dragons rage at their believers. I am compassionate. Evil dragons lead believers astray. I teach.]
[In conclusion, I am by no means an evil dragon as the detestable believers claim!]
[On the other hand, my believers no longer have reverence, and their pure spirits are defiled. How… dirty! Fortunately, the believers still maintain their faithfulness; otherwise, it would be more than just punishment.]
[But no matter what, such dirty believers should be severely punished by me. Never forgive them lightly!]
[Especially since the believer dared to mock me as ‘Miss Evil Dragon,’ showing no due respect or reverence. It is for this reason that I once again punished his lifeline with my dragon tail, causing him to continuously release filth, purifying the spirit defiled by the witch!]
[Finally… Hmm, finally, amidst the believer’s trembling and respectful shouts of ‘Lord Dragon God,’ I could not help but feel pity, forgave his sins, and ended the punishment~]
[It is a pity that time always passes quickly when punishing believers.]
[The believer left, saying he had found the whereabouts of the ‘Origin Water,’ and that soon I would be temporarily free, allowing me to visit the Real World and see the current world.]
[I]
As she wrote this, the crow feather pen paused. The Woman on the divine seat looked up, her majestic pale vertical pupils gazing into the distance. Her divine eyes seemed to penetrate the layers of gray mist and seals, looking out at the endless snowfield beyond the Place of Seal.
The snowfield was desolate for thousands of miles, with no living beings left. Only humanoid skeletons knelt with swords on their backs. They had horns on their foreheads and bone tails hanging behind them, bowing their heads towards the divine seat of the World Tree. They filled the entire snowfield, dense, numbering in the tens of millions!
Di Si was actually unwilling to leave this Place of Seal, not even a splinter of her incarnated divine thought.
Staying in the Place of Seal was not only for penance but also to avoid scheming and external interference.
She had also grown accustomed to the loneliness of tens of thousands of years.
But alas—her most beloved believer was bullied daily outside, even having his nascent sun plucked and his pure body defiled by an evil woman!
This was clearly a provocation to the supreme divine master, Aljerulu, the Pale Dragon God!
[You can’t bully my believer!]
[Only I can.]
[However, to temporarily leave this place, at least ten drops of Origin Water are needed. I wonder if the believer can obtain so much, and how great the danger will be.]
The pen tip wrote casually with her scattered thoughts, the tip of her beautiful tail, which was being stepped on and rubbed by her tender feet, swaying left and right.
The pen tip paused. The Woman on the divine seat pursed her lips and looked up again at the small sugar figure standing alone in the ice cabinet. Her vertical pupils narrowed, and her thoughts drifted.
It hadn’t been long since they parted, yet why did she miss this naughty believer so much again?

Xia Feng could tell that Miss Evil Dragon was very lonely.
His emotional intelligence was actually average, but his ability to perceive emotions was quite good; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to be a scumbag… well, an excellent believer.
He could easily see that Miss Evil Dragon had had enough of thousands of years of solitary confinement without seeing the light of day. Although she said she was unwilling to leave the Place of Seal and couldn’t leave,
Xia Feng was used to Miss Evil Dragon’s words being the opposite of her true feelings.
Of course, Xia Feng himself also wanted to help Miss Evil Dragon.
After all, he had repeatedly broken his promises, and the time he entered the Evil Dragon Space was very unstable. He had also been continuously on the run, making the absorption of Mental Power intermittent, which was very uncomfortable.
It would be beneficial to have Miss Evil Dragon appear in the Real World; it would achieve multiple goals at once.
Therefore, this trip to find Origin Water was a must for him!
Over the next ten days, Xia Feng entered the Evil Dragon Space repeatedly, chatting, being punished, and increasing his Mental Power.
During this period, no one suddenly came to assassinate him. It seemed that after Saint Sigu’s Regulation Curse on him and Miss Mu, there had been no further action. Besides, as his bloodline transformed into a Divine Half-dragon and he became a child of the Pale One, the Pale Contract Seal of the character ‘姒’ on his abdomen had further upgraded.
[Pale Contract Seal]
[Accept the pact of the Pale God and obey the King’s decree henceforth.]
[Method of Pact: The target voluntarily offers you their original dragon blood, and you can bestow the ‘Pale Contract Seal’ to complete the divine pact.]
[Current Contract Seal Quantity: 998/3000]
Although he did not gain any special abilities by becoming a Divine Half-dragon, the original upper limit for contracting Half-dragons was 1000, which had now expanded to 3000.
It was a considerable gain.
The 998 Half-dragons were contracted in White Emperor City. Currently, his directional sense indicated that 500 were in Dong Sheng Fortress, and another half were in the very distant north, making them impossible to pinpoint.
This journey to find the Origin Water would likely not be easy, and these Half-dragons might prove useful.
Xia Feng drove his car through the towering buildings, heading towards the old urban area of District Z in Helyan City, [Ai Ci Middle School].
This morning, Miss Mu had told him that she had found news about Li Zaishi’s family.
Previously, in White Emperor City, he had promised the old soldier that if he reached District 41, he would visit his daughter and look after her.
However, a few days ago, Xia Feng had gone to look for Li Zaishi’s daughter but found that she had moved and was nowhere to be found.
Miss Mu mobilized the forces of the Peach Organization to search for several days, and finally found a lead today.
Li Zaishi’s daughter is named ‘Li Zaixin.’ She married ‘Chen Luo’ ten years ago and had a daughter named ‘Chen Xiaoshui.’
Li Zaixin mysteriously disappeared five years ago, her whereabouts unknown.
Chen Luo was shot dead three years ago after being identified as a Calamity Eater and a spy for the Nightmare Clan.
Thus, their daughter, Li Zaishi’s granddaughter—Chen Xiaoshui, who lost her mother at the age of five and her father at the age of seven, was sent to an orphanage. She is now ten years old and attending Ai Ci Middle School.
After reading the information about Li Zaishi’s family, Xia Feng casually chose a sports car from Mu Qingtong’s garage and set off without a word.
However, as he was about to arrive at Ai Ci Middle School, he suddenly braked as if sensing something, and his black eyes activated the Eye of Deconstruction, looking out the window.
This old urban area was very run-down, with rows of drab earthen tile houses forming narrow alleyways filled with garbage.
A light rain fell from the dim sky. In an empty alleyway, a mouse scurried out from a garbage can. Five boys and girls in blue and white uniforms were gathered around a corner of the wall.
Curled up in the corner was a girl with a bandaged right eye, clutching her stomach and trembling on the ground.
“A family of traitors!”
“Really! The granddaughter of a traitor still has the nerve to come to school?”
“I read online that her mother disappeared because she got addicted to selling and ran away for fear of being beaten by her husband.”
“Don’t talk about my mom like that!!”
*Bang!!*—”Hey, you dare to resist? Your family has done so many disgusting things, and we’re not allowed to talk about it?!”
“We didn’t!!”
“Still making excuses?!” The leading boy was annoyed, sneered, and raised his foot to kick.
But at this moment, he heard a harsh braking sound, and the two men and two women around him turned to look outside the alley.
A tall man in a black trench coat appeared in the rain, walking towards them with his hands in his pockets.
