Finally, the golden dragoness, who had learned that the dragon had been drawn by herself and that the deaths of her lover and child were also related to her, chose to follow her lover in grief and guilt.
Yes, that’s right. Amidst the chaos, the dragon egg born of the golden dragoness and the Dark Pope went missing without a trace. The last remaining signs seemed to indicate that the egg had completely shattered, and the unborn dragon inside would never see the light of this world.
The loss of her lover and child, coupled with the guilt in her heart, completely drained the once lively and radiant golden dragoness of any will to carry on. Thus, she chose to fulfill her promise to her lover—alive, they would be together forever; dead, they would still be together forever.
That dragon skeleton was the remains of the golden dragoness, and the pool of concentrated dark magic beneath it was the “corpse” left behind by the previous Dark Pope.
The outer protective layer that killed Os Tianluo and Orvia when they attempted to force their way in was the safeguard left by the couple before their deaths, ensuring their burial site would remain undisturbed and untainted by outsiders.
After reading these records, Kurl looked at the remains of the previous Dark Pope and the golden dragoness with complex emotions, sighing deeply, “So this is how it was? Father, Mother, forgive your unfilial child for only coming to see you now. I am very happy now and have met someone I love and wish to spend my life with. Please rest assured.”
Now that he thought about it, the attacks from the outer barrier were indiscriminate. However, because of the blood he shed from his injuries, proving he was of the bloodline of those protected within, he was allowed to enter. No wonder he had felt such an intense sense of familiarity—it was his parents who had nurtured him!
Knowing there was no danger nearby and that Owen Dee and the others were outside, Kurl wasn’t worried about Davist’s safety. Thus, he decided to stay a little longer.
Dragons, though powerful and prone to promiscuity, still faced great difficulty in reproduction. Only now, with the intermingling of races, has the dragon population slightly increased. Yet even so, as dragon bloodlines diluted, the inherited racial traits became less prominent than before.
Kurl’s mother was a golden dragon with an exceptionally strong ancestral bloodline. As her son, Kurl naturally inherited the dragon bloodline.
However, due to an accident, Kurl’s birth from the egg was delayed for too long, leaving him with insufficient energy and an incomplete inheritance. This place was the best location for Kurl to receive his full inheritance.
Unbeknownst to Kurl, despite being the child of a golden dragon and a human, his dragon bloodline was extraordinarily dense, even surpassing that of his golden dragoness mother. These latent talents had long been hidden, and now was the time for them to awaken.
Outside, Davist listened in astonishment as Owen Dee, with a complicated expression, recounted Kurl’s origins. The Dark Church had once believed their young master—the child of the previous Pope—had died. No one expected the dragon egg to have been lost and hatched many years later.
It was a pity the child had been taken first by the people of the Light Church. But it didn’t matter, since Davist was Anxula’s adopted son, and Anxula was the lover of their current Dark Pope, making Davist effectively the adopted son of their current Pope. And since Kurl and Davist were together, didn’t that make Kurl one of their own?
In the end, it was all the same. They were quite open-minded about it.
The only one not so open-minded was likely Owen Dee. After all, Owen Dee was the disciple of Kurl’s father—a mentor like a father. Now Kurl was with Davist, who was practically like his own child… Owen Dee clutched his heart and silently looked up at the sky, choosing not to speak.
After an unknown amount of time, Kurl finally completed absorbing and awakening his inheritance. He knelt and kowtowed several times toward the dragon skeleton before leaving. As soon as he stepped out, he opened his arms to embrace Davist, who rushed toward him.
Davist was overjoyed. “Kurl, Kurl, Kurl! Your parents didn’t abandon you on purpose! They loved and cared for you!”
Having learned about Kurl’s parents, Davist hadn’t wanted Kurl to have bad parents. Even knowing Kurl’s steadfast nature wouldn’t be shaken by it, Davist didn’t want even the slightest possibility of sadness or unhappiness for him.
Fortunately, everything had turned out well in the end.
Kurl smiled warmly and stroked Davist’s hair, his heart filled with warmth and happiness.
He had parents who cared for him, adoptive fathers who doted on him, good friends and brothers, and such a wonderful lover.
Kurl and Davist exchanged a glance and laughed. They were truly happy people.
In this world filled with magic and miraculous potions, those of higher levels naturally lived longer than ordinary people. Kurl, with his increasingly hidden dragon bloodline, and Davist, with his exceptional talent and elven heritage, were both destined for long lives.
After all, elves and dragons were long-lived races. Even with half-human blood, their lifespans were extended, not to mention their profound cultivation.
Gradually, the two prominent figures stepped back from the limelight, living a quiet and peaceful reclusive life. During this time, Ya Angluona and Si Aose, after much bickering, finally ended up together. Both families were open-minded, and Ya Angluona’s family wasn’t one to scorn the poor and fawn over the rich. The two were very happy in the end.
As for Kurl’s two adoptive fathers and the couples Owen Dee and Anxula, there was even less to say. The former were practically inseparable, like conjoined twins, while the latter, after years of separation due to misunderstandings, were finally reunited—how could there be any strife between them?
Moreover, due to Anxula’s disability, Owen Dee had always carried guilt and couldn’t bear to raise his voice at him. Anxula, never one to take advantage of favoritism, ensured their relationship remained harmonious and sweet.
Eventually, seeing no issues within the Dark Church, Owen Dee passed the title of Pope to the First Cardinal and opened a shop with Anxula, living a blissful life.
The First Cardinal of the Dark Church, however, remained single for life. Later, he passed the title to his disciple, who had risen through the ranks, and spent his days in his mage tower, dedicating his life to magical research. He died content and fulfilled.
Kurl and Davist walked hand in hand through their long lives, eventually closing their eyes together forever, their hearts full of happiness and satisfaction.
Back in the system space, Yi Lingfan vented his joy and contentment by teasing the system’s little light orb before checking the original trajectory of the previous world.
However, after seeing it, his happiness from spending a lifetime with his lover plummeted into fury. He was incensed, feeling that Os Tianluo and Orvia had died far too easily!
The previous world had two storylines. One followed Os Tianluo, an ordinary otaku who transmigrated into a new world, gaining dual talents in light and thunder magic and martial arts. He embarked on a rare path of dual cultivation, rising to power, humiliating rivals, gathering followers and a harem, and eventually becoming the ruler of the world.
This was the original storyline Orvia had once seen.
In it, Ya Angluona, due to his family’s enmity with the Lexi family, became a villain. This eventually dragged his entire family into ruin, all exterminated by Os Tianluo, their vast accumulated wealth falling into his hands.
The emperor of the Lumian Empire and the crown prince also clashed with Os Tianluo. On the surface, it was because the prince competed with Os Tianluo for a woman, but in reality, the prince’s fiancée, already betrothed, had entangled herself with Os Tianluo, trampling the prince’s dignity underfoot.
Moreover, the Lexi family had already been marked for destruction by the higher-ups. Os Tianluo, ever the one to shift blame, pinned all wrongdoing on the emperor and prince, claiming they obstructed his happiness with his beloved (one of many).
In his mind, the woman loved him but was forced by circumstances to be with a scoundrel she didn’t love. Now that she had found true love, the scoundrel’s family stood in their way. Os Tianluo believed he was upholding justice, clearing the path for their love.
In truth, the crown prince was an excellent future ruler—kind, wise, and tolerant. The woman had pursued him for his looks and status, struggling to become his fiancée. The prince, out of respect for her as a woman, had kept her past misdeeds quiet and even planned to make her a concubine.
Yet after aligning with Os Tianluo, she turned the tables, painting herself as a victim forced into the engagement and begging Os Tianluo to kill the prince.
In truth, she was consumed by guilt, knowing full well why she had become the prince’s fiancée and future concubine.
