I, The Dragon Overlord-Novel

Chapter 431: God of the Eastern Sky

Team leader Si and Gui Bin quickly walked out of their office to meet the old immortal. Reaching the reception hall, they held their breaths in anticipation.

The old man looked exactly the same as he did when they had first met, though now he was wearing clothing made of modern materials. He sat reclined on a chair and sipped on hot tea from a dainty teacup.

Team leader Si cast a glance and relaxed when he saw that the old man was drinking the ‘gourd tribute tea’. He could not help but give the people who served him a thumbs up.

Gourd tribute tea was now a rare product. Other than the portion scattered to the public during the 1960s, there were only two left in the entire country. This tea was not treated as tea anymore but became part of a collection enshrined in the museum.

Since the establishment of the ‘Dragon Group’ and the strengthening of relationships with the old immortal, one of the last gourd tribute teas was sent to this place. The idea was to serve this tea to this old immortal when there was a chance to show the esteem in which they held him.

No one could have imagined that ‘gourd tribute tea’ would really be useful.

“Old immortal, they did not neglect you, right? Is the tea to your tastes?”

Team leader Si smiled and came in front of Mr.Zhang. He unconsciously bent his waist to appear more humble.

The alchemist raised his head with a leisurely chuckle, “The liquid is colored, but the tea is stale and light. It can be described as having the taste of tastelessness. It is one of the best in terms of aged tea. I am very happy with it.”

Although the words sound like praise, the old man’s expression was not joyful. The team leader’s heart was slightly moved. Towards objects that mortals treated as treasure, this old man who had lived through at least five hundred years held a unique perspective.

This gourd tribute tea was an aged good from the era of glory. It was known as the tea that only emperors could enjoy. Even the current head of state might not be able to enjoy it. But to the fragile-looking old man, it all meant nothing.

“I know that you can only find so much of this tea in the country, but it’s a waste for me to drink it…”

Louie’s words had not finished when the team leader shook his hand, “If an esteemed individual like yourself says it’s a waste to drink, then who else is qualified?”

“Hahaha! You do not need to please this old man. I don’t need sycophancy, but since you invited me to drink this top-quality tea, I will also return you some top-quality tea.”

Louie laughed and waved his hand above the empty table. A small ball of golden tea leaves appeared.

Team leader Si could tell that it was the same ground tribute tea, but aged for far longer.

“I personally enjoy planting tea leaves in my garden. It is the same type of tea as yours but just a little older and with some herbs. Although it’s not much, drinking a cup can clear the mind, drinking two cups can cure old diseases, and drinking three cups can prolong life. You shouldn’t be losing out if I use this tea to trade with yours, right?” The old man laughed.

Louie did not actually have gourd tribute tea, but true gods had the ability to create ex nihilo without limitations. However, creating divine objects and lifeforms would require a lot of divinity and divine power. Creating mortal objects was much simpler as the consumption of divine power was negligible.

Gods did not even need to move to create unimaginable luxury for themselves.

Just like this masterpiece tea. It was a priceless object for the whole of China and was collected by the government as a world wonder, but for Louie, it was a worthless object that he could create with a wave of his hand.

However, what team leader Si paid attention to was not the tea, but it was hearing that the old alchemist was growing them and that there were special effects in drinking it. Although it was not as good as the legendary ginseng fruit and legendary peaches, it was already considered a divine object for mortals.

He and the people waiting nearby secretly sighed. They had admired the old immortal, but they also felt respect for how he treated everyone equally.

The old immortal knew the significance of the tea and did not want to take advantage of them. This kind of capacity and broadmindedness was truly worthy of respect.

Team leader Si’s face did not dare slacken. He also did not dare enjoy it alone, so he had his people carefully put it away. This tea would be researched first by scientists before his superiors could drink it. It was definitely not his to consider.

Louie was amused seeing how these people were treating the tea like some great treasure.

The tea leaves were true, but the effects were only created by pouring magic potions into them. Louie did not use his own divine authority.

If he had used his divine authority, then the tea would become far too precious. If a mortal were to drink such a beverage at the brink of death, they would be revived immediately and even live for a few more decades. This was the power of ‘life’.

“Old immortal, what are you here for?”

Team leader Si put away the tea and finally remembered that there were more pressing matters. The human race was facing extinction and this tea was definitely useless in this matter.

“I came here for the reason you are thinking of.”

Louie shot a deep look at team leader Si.

Team leader Si smiled sarcastically. He bowed and asked respectfully, “Old immortal, the thing that is about to hit Earth, what exactly is it? Are you here to solve the crisis of extinction?”

“I can’t even begin to describe it in words. It’s like a collection of demons or evils. You can regard it as one of the papiyas who tried to prevent Buddha from attaining enlightenment. An ancient bringer of calamity. It could even be that giant serpent of the eastern lands, even a demon king from hell, or even an evil god beyond the stars.”

Louie’s tone was solemn and sounded terrifying. When people heard Louie say these evil-sounding names, everyone felt their hands and feet shiver.

“I don’t know what human beings on this planet have done to invite such evil. Even I am powerless to stop it. I’m afraid that even if the western Christ woke up, he would only be able to block it for a limited amount of time.”

Seeing the old man shake his head repeatedly, team leader Si and the others became more and more desperate… that humans would truly go extinct.

“But……”

At this moment, Louie continued, “This world is ultimately my birthplace. I do not want to see it disappear nor see the despair in fellow humans. Although I cannot stop the evil star from descending, there are other ways to stop it.

Louie’s eyes shone with divine light and his voice bore a sanctified tone, “Do you know of the God of the Eastern Sky?”
