Castle of Black Iron

Generally, according to the rules of Dragon Emperor Pavilion, the study room of Dragon Emperor was only accessible to cleaners and inspectors. Most of the time, the study room was locked.

However, Zhang Tie was an exception; because Zhang Tie was the highest official in Dragon Emperor Pavilion who had some privileges for real. Additionally, Dragon Emperor who had disappeared for over 900 years was already a symbol in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Although nobody would like to admit it in the public, everyone was crystal clear that the Dragon Emperor probably has been dead. On this occasion, the magnificent qi field over Dragon Emperor Pavilion gradually declined; especially after Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace shrunk their force back to Dragon Emperor Big Domain. The so-called Dragon Emperor Pavilion had already become a memorial hall, where nobody else would believe that the Dragon Emperor would come back.

On this occasion, even Zhang Tie stayed all day long in the study room of Dragon Emperor, nobody criticized him.

All day long, Zhang Tie was immersed in the four words left by Dragon Emperor——I die, People Survive. As a result, Zhang Tie didn’t even feel like checking other corners in the study room. After letting Hong Yukun leave, he sat on the chair of Dragon Emperor and watched the four words while his head was full of whims.

Not until Zhang Tie saw the four words did he confirm that it was Dragon Emperor’s self-destructive decision to bring the Star of God and the Catastrophe to humans in the world where Zhang Tie came from.

Although Zhang Tie didn’t know how Dragon Emperor knew the situation facing the world where he came from in the Mountain Ruins of Motian Realm, he was sure that Hua people in the world where he came from might not exist without Dragon Emperor or the Star of God. Even though Hua people still existed and survived Three-eye Association’s prosecution, Zhang Tie was afraid that all Hua people were also living in the thorny stereotyped cage woven by Three-eye Association and demons. They must be living like slaves with the insulative appellations “Sick men” and “Inferior Race”.

All these were definitely not fabricated by Zhang Tie; instead, they were “plans” that Three-eye Association made about the future of Hua people before the Catastrophe. Before the Catastrophe, these “plans” were condemned as a theory of conspiracy by the media manipulated by Three-eye Association. Three-eye Association and demons didn’t admit it at all. However, at this age, these so-called secrets had already become known to everyone. Numerous precious historical records about the civilizations before the Catastrophe in the Central Library of Xuanyuan Hill could prove this point.

——Control Hua population and make them an ethnic minority in that world; destroy Hua’s national pride and use various methods to poison and break up the genes inheritance and succession of Hua people; constantly weaken Hua people’s physique and fix Hua people to the most humble class of slaves on quantity and quality, physically and spiritually. This was the future that demons and Three-eye Association created for Hua people before the Catastrophe.

Many Hua people in Taixia Country in this age couldn’t imagine about the living environment of their predecessors before the Catastrophe. At that time, despite large Hua countries and population, they were still bullied by surrounding minor countries every time and then. Those small countries occupied Hua people’s islands overseas and border regions and usually slaughtered overseas Hua people, fishers and border residents. Hua people would easily be blackmailed by policemen and robbed by criminals in any other country…

However, domestically, with the effect of demonized grains and poisonous substances that were added in Hua food and medicines even various viruses that were designed especially against Hua genes, a variety of diseases broke out among Hua people on a large scale; a great amount of male and female Hua people lost their fertility; Hua babies’ birth rate reached its minimal value with the highest malformation rate. Sudden death because of unknown reasons. The sudden stop of heartbeat and cracking brain blood vessels became the major reasons for the death of young adults…

Three-eye Association cultivated a great number of speakers among Hua people who existed in each class and national agency of Hua people.

The Catastrophe changed everything. From then on, Hua people’s fate moved onto an utterly different road and returned to its heyday.

Zhang Tie wondered how Dragon Emperor knew Hua people’s situation at that time.

Zhang Tie wondered how Dragon Emperor came to his world from Motian Realm.

Zhang Tie wondered what was the complete Star of God and how could it change the entire world.

Zhang Tie wondered why demons and Hua people went against each other in both worlds.

Zhang Tie only knew that the answer of all these might lie in Mountain Ruins of Motian Realm.

Additionally, Zhang Tie knew that from today on Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was not as same as before in his heart anymore; instead, it was left by Dragon Emperor in this world. Zhang Tie didn’t allow it to perish in this world. As long as Motian Realm existed and he was alive, Zhang Tie would keep Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace forever.

Before that, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was just a landscape and station on his trip to Motian Realm. From now on, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would become his final destination in Motian Realm.

Zhang Tie hung the four words on a wall of the study room as he watched it silently.

Watching the overwhelming four words, Zhang Tie felt like seeing the Dragon Emperor himself. Although Dragon Emperor had already died, his spirit stayed forever. The four words were the essence of the Dragon Emperor’s spirit.

Although being 900 years away from each other, the two men were connected with each other by the four words spiritually.

The most beautiful scenery in the universe was always tranquil!

The most righteous man always stayed silent!

When Zhang Tie was immersed in the four words, he felt that the four words suddenly started to move.

The word “I” moved first.

It flew off the paper and turned into a fog of ink in the air. Closely after that, it rocked while numerous words and information flew out of it and shot into Zhang Tie’s central forehead as fast as a lightning bolt like a flock of birds returning to their nest.

In a split second, Zhang Tie felt coming to the seaside.

On the verge of the coastal cliff, Dragon Emperor was standing there with hands on his back, looking into the distance, his clothes fluttering heavily in the wind…

“Remember it, it’s Dragon Emperor Immortal Fist…” Dragon Emperor turned around as he told Zhang Tie. At the same time, he jumped up and punched out his fist.

In a split second, the sea level was broken while thunders fell like heavy rain. It was gloomy above and dark below like doomsday. Dragon Emperor was standing between the sky and the ocean. His punch intention was as fierce as the hot sun which could split the ocean into halves, forming a 10,000 m long oceanic trench. All the fishes and shrimps in the ocean jumped out of the ocean…

Zhang Tie’s brain was full of punch shadows of Dragon Emperor…

Closely after his punch shadows disappeared, the word “die” had started to move. Like the first word, this word also turned into numerous words and information before flowing into Zhang Tie’s central forehead.

In the blink of an eye, before Zhang Tie realized what happened, he had got one more unrivaled secret method which was named Undying Dragon Body by Dragon Emperor…

After that, the third word “people” started to move while numerous words flew into Zhang Tie’s central forehead too.

The scene turned into a vast desert at a stroke. In the desert, Dragon Emperor was making strange hand gestures which changed dozens of times a second. After Dragon Emperor changed over 1,000 hand gestures, golden, hot sunlight shot into the Dragon Emperor’s body from the sky. Like being lit, the Dragon Emperor instantly gave out a golden dragon-shaped flame. In a split second, the desert within miles turned into an ocean of magma…

“It’s Dragon True Flame…” Dragon Emperor’s words sounded…

At this moment, the word “survive” also started to move as numerous words and information poured into Zhang Tie’s central forehead like a tide again…

This time, Dragon Emperor just watched Zhang Tie silently without performing any unrivaled secret method. He stretched out his hand and pointed onto Zhang Tie’s central forehead. Feeling a rock, Zhang Tie realized that a classic secret method called Shocking the World was already in his mind sea.

…

“Director, it’s too late. Do you want to live in Dragon Emperor Pavilion tonight…”

Huang Yukun’s sound suddenly entered Zhang Tie’s ears, which woke Zhang Tie up at a stroke.

The four words were still hanging over there; however, it was already dark outside as glazed lamps had been lit across Dragon Emperor Pavilion.

What happened just now was like a dream. However, Zhang Tie knew it was not a dream; because his brain had been filled with the unrivaled secret methods of Dragon Emperor…

“His Majesty doesn’t like luxury; therefore, there’re not too many things left here. All the precious items such as immortal outfits were always carried by Dragon Emperor himself. Now, in the warehouse, there were only some small widgets that His Majesty liked to play with…” After finding Zhang Tie was looking at the wall in a daze, Hong Yukun explained it to Zhang Tie meticulously.

“No need. I will go back. Dragon Emperor Pavilion will run as same as before…” Zhang Tie said as he finally picked himself up from the chair.

“Erm…should I put this away?” Hong Yukun asked as he pointed at the four words on the wall.

“Take it off. I will take it back home tonight. I need to understand the essence of the calligraphy. Is there any problem?”

“No problem. Of course no problem. I really admire you for being so prudent about the calligraphy of His Majesty. It will be fine if the director takes it back after getting its essence!” Hong Yukun flattered Zhang Tie with a smile.

…

In 10 minutes, Zhang Tie left Dragon Emperor Palace with a brocade box which contained the four-word calligraphy and crossed the bridge over the moat by his flying lizard which had been full. Watching the brightly-lit Dragon Emperor Palace in the nightscape, Zhang Tie felt like having a dream today.
