Just an hour ago, the Dragon Emperor had still worn an expression of disdain, but within that one hour, under Fang Chen's company, he had already become deeply immersed in the game. Fang Chen could understand.
"I'm telling you! Not only do I have to spend time with my wife every day, but there are endless duties! Ever since I was born, I've been busy—I've never played a game before!!!" The uncle-faced Dragon Emperor spoke with both bitterness and tears.
"Well, you do have your people to take care of. And didn't you mention gods and such before? You really do have it rough."
"Exactly!!! Those damned gods!!! I was just soaking in a hot spring at home, and they suddenly barged in!! Accused me of abducting some goddess and threw filth on my name!! I wiped out their whole race on the spot!! Think they can climb over my head? Not a chance!"
As the game session continued enjoyably, the Dragon Emperor gradually relaxed and chatted casually with Fang Chen.
"Is that so? You really do have it tough—AHHH!!! NO, NO!!!! DON'T!!! DON'T KILL ME!!!!"
While chatting, Fang Chen was suddenly ambushed by a hidden assassin in the bushes and screamed in panic.
"Hahaha! You suck! Huh? Damn!!! What the hell is that tank doing!!!" Just as he was moving smoothly, a tank suddenly charged at him, making the Dragon Emperor punch the screen in shock.
Boom!! His fist punched through the computer. The Dragon Emperor slowly came to his senses.
He casually snapped his fingers, and the computer rewound as if time flowed backward, the broken pieces returning and reforming into the original machine.
"So frustrating!!! Watch me! I refuse to believe that I, the mighty Dragon Emperor, would lose at a game to mere humans!!!"
A red glow slowly flickered in the Dragon Emperor's eyes. The next moment, it became obvious—
In an instant, the Dragon Emperor activated inhuman hand speed, so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye.
However, though his hands were fast, they hadn't yet exceeded the computer's response speed. Within extreme precision, he killed seven in a single sweep and went godlike instantly.
He completely outclassed the enemy team, leaving Fang Chen speechless as he watched the Dragon Emperor laugh madly with arrogance.
"Ah~! Now that's satisfying. So? Want me to teach you?" The Dragon Emperor smiled brightly.
"No need. I'm good like this." Fang Chen shrugged casually and refused.
"Oh? Why not? Isn't it great to become this powerful? You could win so much more." The Dragon Emperor blinked.
"I play games just to feel that split-second thrill of pushing to the limit—the rush of adrenaline. Only that raw sensation makes me feel truly alive in the moment! If I became like you, how boring would that be? Sure, I get chased around miserably, but in that pursuit of survival, in the razor-thin moment of death, the thrill is so real!"
A dazzling light gleamed in Fang Chen's eyes—a light not seen in ages, born from truly feeling alive for the first time in a long while.
Too much pressure from life had numbed his senses, until he no longer even noticed.
But that flash of excitement in a game—that rush toward victory at all costs—was what he had become addicted to.
Seeing the gleam in Fang Chen's eyes, the Dragon Emperor's gaze flickered with light, lost in thought.
Then his eyes regained calm. He looked at Fang Chen, a trace of contemplation flashing through, and slowly opened his mouth.
"You're quite something. In that case, I'll tell you the reason I came to this world!" As he spoke, the Dragon Emperor slowly snapped his fingers, and in an instant, the internet café room vanished.
It turned into an open ocean. Fang Chen paused at the sudden change of scenery but was no longer surprised.
After all, time reversing had already happened before his eyes. Everything this man said—he really might be the Dragon Emperor.
The Dragon Emperor. The Elder Dragon who holds up the world, a being even the gods fear. That was only a partial introduction, yet it explained everything.
What is power? If it was real, then a being so far above had no need to deceive him.
After all, he was the strongest Dragon Emperor traveling between worlds, and Fang Chen was just a sorrowful human in a world not even a grain of sand in the cosmos.
"I am the Dragon Emperor of the heavens—Long Chen! Rejoice, human, for at this moment you know of my existence!"
The Dragon Emperor uncle raised both hands. His once-plain clothes suddenly transformed into golden robes that shimmered like dragon scales. His aura surged instantly, oppressing everything around.
But all Fang Chen could do was look up with great effort. This was a being so overwhelming that just looking at him took all his strength—something beyond human comprehension or knowledge.
"I have journeyed through countless worlds! I built a home for the displaced Dragonkin—Dragon Palace!"
As the Dragon Emperor spoke, a massive island suddenly rose from the ocean behind him.
Fang Chen, already struggling, could not see the island clearly. He could only faintly make out the enormous characters at the peak of the mysterious palace—Dragon Palace!
Though they weren't Earth's characters, Fang Chen understood their meaning instantly.
"We Dragonkin are powerful, but our numbers are extremely few. Only a rare few can stand beside me to face the gods!" As the Dragon Emperor spoke, enormous dark silhouettes appeared in the sky.
Each one was a divine being from the heavens across the multiverse—countless gods, and many immensely powerful ones.
"That's why! I am searching! Searching for comrades who can stand by my side to confront the gods with me!"
After speaking, the Dragon Emperor uncle slowly bowed his head, white hair cascading to both sides.
"You... are a very interesting human. I shall grant you one wish! Speak! What... is your wish?"
With the Dragon Emperor's words, Fang Chen fell into silence.
He no longer strained to look up. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the black reflection of himself on the surface of the sea.
The floating Dragon Emperor, the vast and mysterious Dragon Palace behind him emitting low dragon roars.
Countless shadowy figures filled the sky—gods with eyes full of greed, hatred, and bloodlust, all glowing crimson.
Fang Chen stood on the tiny ocean surface, appearing so insignificant...
He was just a perfectly ordinary person, standing on a world not even as big as a grain of sand in the vast cosmos.
And now, under the gaze of so many immense shadows, he stood alone. It was... how should he put it? Kind of an honor.
He smiled bitterly in resignation, then slowly raised his head to look at the Dragon Emperor standing before the Dragon Palace.
A wish, huh? Fang Chen's eyes flickered as he slowly lifted his gaze toward the sky.
