Chapter 79: Found the Mentor

The test regarding the Forbidden Spells quickly concluded.

Xu Xi had a good grasp of his own abilities, just lacking comparisons at the same level.

With the help of the Red Dragon, Xu Xi had a clear understanding of where he stood in terms of hierarchy and the specific combat effects of numerous Forbidden Spells.

“As expected.”

“Compared to other Saint Domains, my strength is undoubtedly overpowered.”

“Specifically manifested in tenfold magical power, nearly omnipotent attribute control, and a more suppressive Composite Domain.”

“Besides these, the Eternal Tear Drop also provides invincible protection.”

“Hmm, not bad. Once my cultivation realm improves, my combat power will become even more exaggerated. This is the noble Numerical Advantage!”

One hour later.

In the desolate outskirts far from Yanshan City.

Xu Xi looked at the pitiful Red Dragon lying on the ground.

The magic staff condensed green light, using Life Magic to heal the Red Dragon’s injuries.

The earth was scorched, the mountains shattered, and the Red Dragon lay in a huge crater, motionless, struggling to breathe.

But as Life Magic flowed in, the wounds on the dragon’s body quickly healed, and its vertical pupils regained clarity.

As for the spilled dragon blood.

It floated in the air, controlled by spiritual energy, gathering into a mass.

Xu Xi collected it separately.

Regarding Dragon Blood Grass, Xu Xi actually had little use for it, especially now as a Saint Magister, it no longer provided any benefits.

The reason he still wanted to plant it was more out of habit.

It itched him not to plant some.

“I wonder if there are other Western dragon species in the real world. If not, I’ll have to take blood from Rex Sanchez in the future.”

Xu Xi’s gaze was profound, startling the resting Red Dragon awake.

With a light flick of his finger.

A vast spiritual energy, like an abyssal sea, directly moved the hefty Red Dragon in front of him, scaring it even more.

“Don’t worry, I won’t go back on my word. I said I wouldn’t kill you, so I won’t.”

Around the battlefield.

Brownish dust lingered.

Under the sunlight, it appeared hazy and faint. Xu Xi waved his hand lightly, summoning a strong wind that cleared the view.

He paused, asking the anxious Red Dragon:

“Little Red, do you remember how you came to this world?”

“I know! I know!”

The Red Dragon nodded hurriedly, afraid of not being able to answer and getting lightly tapped again, never daring to show the dragon race’s arrogance and disdain in front of Xu Xi.

Its sharp claws scratched its head.

After a moment of thought.

The Red Dragon Rex Sanchez replied, “After the gods disappeared, a long time passed, and the sky suddenly cracked. When I came to, I found myself here.”

Sudden cracking?

Xu Xi pondered, was it a spatial rupture? It sounded similar to the Boundary Ruins.

This power seemed far beyond the Saint Domain, so much so that the Red Dragon was unaware and passively transmigrated to the real world.

“It seems I can’t get much from the Red Dragon.”

Xu Xi murmured.

Then he asked another question.

“You mentioned the gods disappeared, what does that mean?”

“You don’t know?” The Red Dragon was somewhat surprised but answered honestly, “The Witch who ascended Dragon Island with you, she alone overthrew the gods’ rule.”

The gods are dead, a consensus in the magic world.

But the influence of the deities still subtly affects the world.

Especially for ancient beings like Rex Sanchez.

It was born in an era when gods were active.

From a young dragon to a juvenile, then to an adult, its entire dragon life was spent worshiping the Golden Dragon God.

Even now, with the Dragon God gone, Rex Sanchez still subconsciously seeks protection.

As for the Witch…

The Red Dragon felt more fear.

The Witch’s power was too great, surpassing the gods, transcending the world. Even the gods’ fanatics dared not harbor resentment towards Her.

Because Her existence was more noble than the gods.

Following Xu Xi’s instructions, the Red Dragon honestly recounted everything it knew about the Twilight of the Gods.

“Hisss—”

After listening, Xu Xi appeared calm on the surface, but inside, he was gasping for air.

No way.

Is this still my Cressa?

From the information provided by Rex Sanchez, Xu Xi easily deduced that Cressa had overthrown the Heavenly Realm gods fifty years after his death.

“Huh?”

“Huh???”

Xu Xi began to doubt life: “Was Cressa this fierce? Why didn’t I notice at all when I was alive?”

A rather absurd but likely true speculation.

Appeared in Xu Xi’s mind.

“Could it be that my existence slowed down Cressa’s growth???”

Am I the sacrifice, really?

Xu Xi fell silent, unsure whether to be pleased with the Witch’s growth or speechless at the truth of being a sacrifice.

It felt a bit, well, painful?

“Now I understand what the ‘Twilight of the Gods Creator’ achievement in the simulator refers to,” Xu Xi smacked his lips, figuring it all out.

He wanted to ask more about the Witch.

But the Red Dragon claimed ignorance.

After overthrowing the gods, the Witch left the magic world alone, heading to the mysterious and vast Chaos, a realm beyond mortal reach.

The Red Dragon only occasionally learned through communication with the elemental planes that the Witch had grown stronger.

But how strong exactly.

It had no idea.

“Is that so…” Xu Xi pondered slightly, not overly concerned.

Knowing that Cressa was doing well and had grown to surpass the gods, he was quite satisfied. Although the simulator revealed some information, it was too vague.

Now, learning more detailed things from the Red Dragon, Xu Xi was completely at ease.

Now.

Having asked about the Red Dragon’s transmigration and Cressa’s affairs.

It was time to address the Saint Magister certification.

Undoubtedly, Xu Xi, who had effortlessly defeated the Red Dragon, perfectly passed the assessment.

“Should I stay in Yanshan City, waiting for the Bureau’s results… No, that’s too slow. I’ll go directly.”

“Just in time, those magic materials are hard to handle in Yanshan City.”

“Skipping the Supernatural Home and trading directly with the Capital City’s General Bureau will be much faster.”

Xu Xi pondered, riding on the back of the Red Dragon Rex Sanchez, flying towards the Capital City.

Unnoticed by him.

As the use of “Gray Rekindling” deepened.

The magic staff in his arms, its surface scorched by fierce flames, was undergoing some unknown changes at a very slow pace.

The light flickered, as if responding to something.

“Mentor…”

“Found… you… wait… for… me…”
