"Get up," Xu Zimei said aloud.
"What for?" Lu Yun lifted his head in confusion, his eyes vacant as he looked at Xu Zimei.
"To find the Divine Dragon Fire, and by the way, to rescue your Ragefire Brother," Xu Zimei said.
"What’s there to be so distraught about? The rumor is that the four clan elders died at the hands of the Black Dragon, they were already dead.
The rest of the tribe doesn’t know the truth. The lizard race can start anew. Why cling to something you shouldn’t be clinging to?"
"Start anew?" After a long while, Lu Yun’s gaze finally regained its luster as he murmured to himself, looking at Xu Zimei.
"Let’s go, to the Human Race Tower," Xu Zimei said.
Lu Yun stood up and followed closely behind Xu Zimei.
Since the Black Dragon King had died, Xu Zimei was not afraid of startling the snake by beating the grass.
He summoned the Divine Dragon, and together with Lu Yun, sat on the dragon’s back, heading towards the territory of the Blue Lizard, the Human Race Tower.
The Divine Dragon flew between the clouds, its dragon’s roar trembling, soaring through mist and fog.
Mad Wind blew past them, lifting the long hair from Lu Yun’s forehead.
Her mind had cleared a lot, and she stared at Xu Zimei for a long time before suddenly asking, "Can you stay?"
"What? Taken a fancy to me?" Xu Zimei laughed.
"If you could lead our lizard race, I believe you would surely accomplish great things," Lu Yun said.
"Let’s forget about that. Your temple is too small to accommodate this great Buddha," Xu Zimei laughed.
Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Lu Yun nodded somewhat distractedly and said, "Indeed, after all, you are already a Divine King."
"Isn’t there the Heavenly Venerate of Ragefire? I believe he’s capable," Xu Zimei laughed.
"Ragefire Brother’s life and death are uncertain, alas," Lu Yun sighed softly.
Having Xu Zimei stay was for the sake of the race, but did she not also harbor some personal desires?
The two of them sat on the back of the Divine Dragon, which sped along with incredible velocity, covering dozens of kilometers in just a few flashes of light.
About half an hour later, the shadow of the Divine Dragon finally stopped above a city.
The architecture of this city was quite interesting as it was built in a pentagonal manner.
This was also the habitat of the Blue Lizard.
Five wide city gates were interconnected, making it appear as though five cities were arranged in the shape of a pentagon.
And in the center of this pentagon was a tower, towering about a thousand feet tall.
The dark tower stood on the land with its sharp spire penetrating the sky, seventeen stories high.
Underneath, hundreds of meters below, Blue Lizards patrolled.
Seeing this, Xu Zimei laughed from high above: "It seems that only your Green Lizard and the Red Lizard have it tough. The other lizards all have their tasks."
Lu Yun’s gaze became focused, and he stayed silent without speaking.
Accompanied by a dragon’s roar from the Divine Dragon, it descended majestically with its overwhelming dragon’s might.
The Blue Lizards below immediately sensed the anomaly and, upon looking up, became stunned to see the immense Divine Dragon before them.
"A dragon, a dragon," someone stammered out.
At this moment, some Blue Lizards were dumbfounded on the spot, while others immediately knelt down in worship. 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
For the lizard race, dragons were an object of immense awe and desire.
Xu Zimei and Lu Yun walked down from the Divine Dragon and directly grabbed a nearby Blue Lizard to ask, "Where’s the Heavenly Venerate of Ragefire imprisoned?"
"What Heavenly Venerate of Ragefire?" the Blue Lizard was so scared it was out of its wits.
"Wasn’t there a human being imprisoned here a thousand years ago? Don’t you know?" Lu Yun asked, frowning.
"The, the humans are all on the sixteenth floor," the Blue Lizard quickly replied.

Watching the two figures vanish into the Human Race Tower, the Blue Lizard hadn’t even finished saying "You can’t go in" before being directly decapitated by a blade Qi that flew out.
Upon entering the Human Race Tower, Xu Zimei found it to be incredibly dark, much like a chamber of prisons.
This place was filled with foreign intruders who had been captured.
Most of them were human, and the space reeked of decay, as well as dampness and cold.
Those imprisoned here were basically neglected, left only to await death.
If they got hungry, they could cannibalize, eating the very people who were imprisoned with them.
Xu Zimei saw many bodies inside, and even though a lot of time had passed, the air in this unventilated space made one feel nauseated.
The two quickly passed through the first floor, with hundreds of meters between each level, all connected by Teleportation Arrays.
When Xu Zimei and Lu Yun reached the sixteenth floor, they found the space to be not that large.
In front of them were rows of crosses, with bodies bound to them.
They seemed to have been tortured severely.
"Your lizard clan even has places like this," Xu Zimei said with a smile.
"I didn’t know either," Lu Yun replied, shaking her head in dejection.
"Look around here, see if the Heavenly Venerate of Ragefire is here," Xu Zimei said.
He didn’t help in the search but sat down in a Teleportation Array and went to the seventeenth floor of the Human Race Tower, which was also the highest level.
The so-called Divine Dragon Fire was here.
The final step of the Blood Lizard heart was to refine it with Divine Dragon Fire.
The Divine Dragon Fire here was different from the flames spewed by the Divine Dragons in Xu Zimei’s Divine Continent.
This was the Innate True Flame of a Fire Attribute Divine Dragon, which would appear with a small chance only after its death.
With the refinement of the Divine Dragon Fire, the heart of the Blood Lizard would possess divinity.
Upon reaching the seventeenth floor, Xu Zimei found the visibility to be much brighter.
The space wasn’t too large, and on the high platform straight ahead, there was a golden flame burning fiercely.
The flames writhed and transformed, at one moment soaring through the Nine Skies, and the next, the Divine Dragon roared in rage.
Xu Zimei approached, waved his right hand, and suppressed the Divine Dragon Fire directly.
He placed the pale red lizard on the flame, controlling the temperature of the fire to slowly temper the heart.
This was a lengthy process. Under the refinement of the golden flames, the heart became more solid.
Xu Zimei didn’t keep a close watch on the heart, instead, he went down to the sixteenth floor.
Among the numerous bodies, Lu Yun was seen holding a body covered in indiscernible flesh and blood, ceaselessly calling out to it.
Xu Zimei slowly approached and said, "Let me have a look."
He placed his hands on the chest of the body, and although the body had been tortured beyond human recognition, Xu Zimei could still feel a faint breathing.
The Tree of Life within him stirred as he channeled streams of Life Force into the body.
As long as death wasn’t absolute, Xu Zimei, who possessed the Tree of Life, could heal almost anyone.
With the entry of the Life Force, the body began to slowly change.
The wounds on his body were healing.
"Is there still hope?" Lu Yun asked with anticipation.
The next moment, just as her words fell, she saw the body’s fingers suddenly twitch.
The tightly closed eyes also slowly opened, as if seeing the light again, carrying too much hardship.
"Ragefire Brother, do you remember me? Are you alright?" Lu Yun quickly asked.
