My carefree life in space

Chapter 247 New Life and Parting

These dragon eggs, which hold the future of the dragon race, are now safe and sound, and his mission can be considered complete.

Finally, Cangwu's gaze fell on Lin Shushu. Lin Shushu felt Cangwu's gaze, raised her head, and met his eyes. She saw deep gratitude in Cangwu's eyes.

Lin Shushu felt a pang of sadness. Although Cangwu hadn't spent much time with them, he had been like an elder, guiding and leading them. She really didn't want him to disappear like this.

She looked at the dragon eggs and knew that Cangwu's choice was right; he was doing it for the future of the dragon race. Her gaze fell on the last dragon egg, which still looked like it was on the verge of death. Lin Shushu knew that Cangwu had done his best.

Lin Shushu stared anxiously at the last lifeless dragon egg, then at the increasingly faint and fading phantom of Cangwu. Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and suddenly, a bold idea exploded in her heart like a flash of inspiration.

Previously, when she advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, she had comprehended a trace of the power of rules, a mysterious power that transcends all things in the world. If she could use it to guide Cangwu's last divine soul power and let him attach to the last dragon egg, would that mean that Cangwu could be reborn on this dragon egg?

"Do it this way!" Lin Shushu's eyes sharpened, and she acted without hesitation. She closed her eyes tightly, abandoning all distractions, and immersed herself entirely in understanding and communicating with the power of the rules. The world around her seemed to fall silent instantly, with only the sound of her heartbeat echoing in the silence.

At first, everything was like groping in the dark, with no clue whatsoever. But Lin Shushu did not give up. She kept adjusting her state, trying to find a point of resonance with the power of the rules.

Finally, after her tireless efforts, a faint response came from the depths of Dragon Island. Lin Shushu was overjoyed, knowing that her efforts had paid off.

The response grew stronger, as if Dragon Island itself was cheering for her idea, seemingly approving of her bold plan. Taking advantage of this, Lin Shushu increased her power, guiding the power of the rules slowly closer to Cangwu's dissipating soul.

At this moment, Cangwu's illusory form had become so faint as to be almost invisible, and his consciousness was gradually fading. However, he could feel Lin Shushu's efforts for him, and his heart was filled with gratitude. Guided by the power of the rules, his last wisp of divine soul slowly drifted towards the dragon egg.

Lin Shushu held her breath, carefully manipulating the power of the rules, gradually merging Cangwu's divine soul into the dragon egg. Every step was fraught with unknowns and dangers; the slightest mistake would render everything futile.

Ultimately, Lin Shushu, with her unwavering belief and superb control skills, successfully completed this seemingly impossible task.

The moment Cangwu's divine soul completely merged into the dragon egg, the egg suddenly emitted a clear chirp, followed by a dazzling light bursting forth from its shell. Within the light, the dragon egg gently swayed, as if nurturing new life.

Lin Shushu, Mo Ze, and the Grand Elder were all stunned by this scene. They stared at the radiant dragon egg, their eyes filled with surprise and relief. After a long while, Lin Shushu finally came to her senses and a bright smile appeared on her face.

The Grand Elder stared at the dragon egg, unwilling to look away. With the Dragon Emperor's soul inside, even if the dragon egg didn't hatch into the original Dragon Emperor, it would still produce a new emperor for the dragon race. Their dragon race's hope of returning to its former glory was right before their eyes.

After the initial excitement subsided, the Grand Elder knelt before Lin Shushu, saying, "Thank you! I swear as an elder of the Dragon Clan that you will be our Dragon Clan's greatest benefactor from now on. Whenever you need us, our clan will do everything in our power and will never refuse."

Lin Shushu quickly helped him up, but she did it not for the dragon clan's gratitude.

"Elder, there's no need for such formalities. We've known Senior Cangwu for a while, and I'm very gratified to be able to do something for him in his final moments."

The Grand Elder looked at Lin Shushu with eyes full of gratitude and enthusiasm. Without saying a word, he turned around and searched through the Dragon Clan's treasury. Before long, he returned to Lin Shushu with all sorts of treasures in his hands.

“Young lady, you have saved my dragon clan. If it weren’t for you, my clan’s future would have been destroyed. These are some trinkets that my clan has collected. We don’t need them for the time being, so we’ll give them to you as a token of our appreciation.”

As the elder spoke, he stuffed all the treasures in his hands into Lin Shushu's hands.

Lin Shushu looked down and saw that among the pile of treasures were spirit crystals that emitted a soft glow and could enhance spiritual power; small and exquisite spirit talismans that could instantly release powerful defensive capabilities; and magical artifacts that could enhance the power of spells...

Any one of these items would be considered a rare treasure; they are by no means "trinkets."

Lin Shushu quickly declined, "Elder, this is unacceptable. I helped Senior Cangwu not for these treasures. The treasures of the Dragon Clan should naturally remain with the Dragon Clan to protect Dragon Island and the unborn descendants." As she spoke, she pushed the treasures back.

The Grand Elder, as if he had expected this, stuffed the treasures back into his hands, his expression sincere and earnest: "Young lady, please don't refuse. These treasures are precious, but compared to the future of my dragon clan, they are nothing. This is the heartfelt gift of my dragon clan, please don't refuse."

Seeing this, Lin Shushu understood that if she refused again, she would only appear pretentious. So, she accepted the treasure without hesitation and asked about her concerns.

"Elder, now that the black dragon has been eliminated and the dragon eggs are safe, what are your plans next?"

The Grand Elder tilted his head slightly, his gaze gently falling on the dragon egg containing the divine soul of Cangwu. Then he slowly swept his eyes over the surrounding dragon eggs, each brimming with life, and a smile of satisfaction unconsciously appeared on his face.

He sighed softly, filled with emotion, "Now the dragon race finally has hope, all thanks to you. Now, I just need to wait patiently for these little dragons to hatch and watch them grow strong."

The Grand Elder paused slightly, his gaze growing even more resolute. "After you leave, I will once again use a secret technique to conceal Dragon Island. Let it disappear from the world's sight as before. Please do not reveal any information about this place to the outside world."

Lin Shushu nodded solemnly, "Elder, please rest assured, we will definitely keep our mouths shut."

Mo Ze chimed in, "That's right, Elder. We will definitely keep this secret. We hope that the Dragon Clan can regain its vitality in this peaceful place and recreate its former glory."

The elder looked at them gratefully, his eyes slightly reddening. "It is truly a blessing for the Dragon Clan to have friends like you."

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze looked at the dragon egg again, wondering if they would ever have another chance to meet. Perhaps the next time they saw it, it wouldn't be Cangwu!

Although there's still some sadness, the ending wasn't bad, and that's enough.

After they took their leave, the Grand Elder raised his hand and gently waved it. A soft light enveloped Lin Shushu and Mo Ze. This light contained a mysterious power that could guide them to leave Dragon Island safely.
