That is a staff made of Dragon Bone.
Luo Yan had seen sothing similar in Professor Lilith's magic workshop, so he recognized the material at a glance.
Identity scan... could it be DNA verification?
The "Giant Dragon's Blood" bestowed by the Dragon God wasn't a literal blood transfusion, but more of a buff contextualized within dragon language.
Luo Yan's heart stirred slightly. He imdiately snatched the Bone Staff from the Lizardman elder and jabbed it toward the silvery tal structure.
Just as expected!
The mont the Bone Staff touched the silvery tal structure, the silver tal mirror surface indeed glowed softly again.
"Identity scanning... Information matching... Verification successful..."
It worked!
Despite the inclusion of so obscure terms, Luo Yan still managed to understand the basic gist with his limited vocabulary.
Accompanied by a soft "hiss," a seam appeared on the smooth tal shell, which then opened like a mouth, revealing a passage leading inside.
The passage was illuminated by a milky white light.
Luo Yan sensed no fluctuations of Magic Elents from within, nor could he find a specific light source on the smooth surface, as if the material itself was emitting light.
This is...
Technology?
The look in Luo Yan's eyes grew increasingly astonished, not just because what was happening before him far exceeded his knowledge and imagination, but also because this strangely-shaped apparatus had managed to activate successfully after enduring thousands of years and the chaos caused by millions of Primitive People!
This is simply incredible!
"Your, Your Majesty..." High Priest Zel, eyes filled with excitent, took three steps to Luo Yan's side, prostrating himself on the ground, filled with fervor, "You, you actually opened the Divine Artifact passed down through generations of our Armored Dragon Clan! It is true that the blood of the real dragon flows within you; you are the progeny of the Dragon God... We, the Armored Dragon Clan, are willing to serve you for eternity!"
Luo Yan glanced at the prostrate High Priest and casually tossed the Dragon Bone Staff he had just used into the storage ring.
Real dragon blood, really...
He had clearly activated the device's chanism with the Dragon Bone, yet here this guy was, blatantly lying through his teeth.
But that's not the point.
"A Divine Artifact passed down through generations? What does that an?"
Seeing the Demon King confiscate his staff outright, Zel felt a pang of heartache but didn't dare to ask for it back, so he could only speak with a pained face and lowered head.
"It is said... that deep in the Dragon God Temple, the Dragon God's egg is buried, and only those with the bloodline of the Dragon God can open it!"
Luo Yan raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Then why don't you use it yourselves?"
"This..." Zel hesitated for a long ti before finally gritting his teeth and saying, "Your Majesty... pardon my frankness, but do you truly wish for the return of the Dragon God?"
Seeing Zel's flickering gaze, Luo Yan imdiately understood his implication, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
Indeed.
If he were the King of the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom, he wouldn't want that Dragon God to return either.
What would bringing Him back do?
Capture more slaves? Turn rocks into gold?
No need for that.
A bunch of tribal people together wouldn't stand a chance against even one finger of the Armored Dragon Clan. As long as there were no internal issues within the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom, they would be an invincible presence on this continent.
Occasionally, two unfortunate souls might make it to the beach, who would just et their end there.
The statue should honestly stay in its shrine to enjoy the worship. If Dragon God Gu Tafu truly descended from the temple, these nobles and priests would be the first to die of fright.
In this sense, the temple might not only be for the worship of Dragon God Gu Tafu, using sacrifices to deter impious followers but also for "suppressing" Gu Tafu.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have built the temple higher and sturdier over ti.
This isn't the will of one or several ambitious individuals, but a consensus among the entire ruling class of the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom.
However, now that the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom has been completely defeated, the old consensus naturally doesn't exist anymore, so the High Priest obediently offered the "key," handing over the power to reckon with history—
Either awaken the Dragon God's egg,
or maintain the old order!
Zel looked nervously at Luo Yan, waiting for the new master of this continent to decide the future for all of them.
Unlike the tense Zel, Luo Yan wasn't driven by such an inner drama, as he didn't believe this thing was a Dragon Egg, but rather thought it resembled a spaceship.
Or, more accurately—
like a landing craft of a spaceship.
Luo Yan hadn't found any obvious propulsion components on its outer structure, and the long spindle-shaped design seed sowhat aerodynamically designed.
It is well-known that real spaceships don't need to consider aerodynamics; only vehicles flying within the atmosphere do.
Of course.
This was just a speculation based on Luo Yan's limited knowledge, considering there was nothing similar on Earth, and even so chanical God might not be able to figure out its principles.
"Sarah, guard the entrance; I'll go take a look inside." He threw out the words, not hesitating for a mont, as he walked toward the open door.
"Yes!"
Witnessing the Demon King planning to proceed alone, Sarah, though worried, placed her right fist on her chest and nodded, loyally standing guard at the entrance.
Zel, still eager to follow in Luo Yan's footsteps, had barely taken two steps before a sharp gaze like a knife stopped him in his tracks.
