Chapter 265 Do you understand what I'm saying, senior?
Ao Guang was completely numb, feeling ashamed of his ancestor!
But since things have come to this, there's not much to say. I'll just silently lead the way...!
Before long, the three arrived at Wanlong Abyss, deep in the East China Sea.
This is the true ancestral land of the Four Seas Dragon Clan, located at the bottom of a trench that is deeper and more ancient than the East Sea Dragon Palace.
It was also the place where many dragons perished in the past.
However, due to subsequent changes in the terrain, it was flooded by seawater.
The bottom of this trench is almost completely dark, filled only with eternal stillness and immense pressure.
The deeper the depth, the greater the pressure.
The pressure here is enough to crush the physical body of an ordinary Golden Immortal cultivator into powder.
Tianqi, accompanied by Sun Wukong, followed Ao Guang to Wanlongyuan.
"My lords, the Abyss of Ten Thousand Dragons lies ahead."
Ao Guang was still feeling guilty for betraying his ancestor, and his speech was still a little slurred.
As soon as Ao Guang finished speaking, an ancient dragon roar echoed from the depths of Wanlong Abyss.
The sound pierced through the seawater, carrying the smell of decay and shackles as it reached the three of them.
Sun Wukong frowned; he sensed a threat in the voice.
Although small, it does exist.
"Bring them in, Ao Guang."
The voice resonated in the minds of the three.
Ao Guang immediately came to his senses and hurriedly led the way.
The three then began to descend. The deeper they went, the greater the water pressure became and the dimmer the light became.
Later, the surroundings became completely dark, and even divine sense was suppressed.
Only Tianqi and Wukong emitted a faint golden light, illuminating a section of the water.
Before long, the three of them finally arrived at the bottom of the Wanlong Abyss.
There are no palaces or treasures here.
There is only a vast, unbroken seabed plain.
In the center of the plain, coiled up was the body of a gigantic dragon.
At first glance, only the dragon head part retains some vitality.
However, the two longan eyes were dim, like two broken lanterns about to go out!
It was a living dragon, but its body was almost completely petrified.
The dragon's body stretched for thousands of miles, and each dragon scale was the size of a house, but it had basically lost its luster and turned grayish-white.
Nine thick black chains were wrapped around the dragon's body.
Because there was almost no light, it was actually quite difficult to see clearly.
The other end of the chain fell into the void, its destination unknown.
"The progenitor of the dragon race, Zhulong?"
Apocalypse spoke with a tone of conjecture.
After all, he had only heard that the Dragon Clan was still alive, so he was the first person he thought of!
Zhulong, born in chaos, is one of the oldest creatures in the primordial world, even older than the Ancestral Witches.
But now, he's locked up here, and who knows how many ages have passed.
"That's right, it's me!"
Zhulong spoke, his voice weak, feigning ignorance as he asked:
"But you, that aura, is it from the Witch Clan?!"
"Why aren't you staying in your witch clan's underworld? What are you doing in my dragon clan's ancestral land?"
Tianqi stepped forward a few paces, cupped his hands, and said:
"Greetings, Senior Zhulong. I have come here to offer guidance to the Dragon Clan."
"A clear path?"
The lantern-sized eyes of the Candle Dragon narrowed.
"Is this a legitimate way to bring the destiny of humanity and recruit my dragon race?"
Ao Guang watched quietly from the side, not daring to say a word.
He knew he had no right to speak here, and he was very self-aware.
Apocalypse was not embarrassed and said frankly:
"Indeed. The human race is now thriving and its fortunes are flourishing."
If the dragon race's destiny is linked with that of the human race, they will receive offerings and can cultivate their own destiny, thus escaping their predicament as prisoners of the four seas.
"Is it so easy to break through this predicament?"
Although Zhulong was somewhat tempted, he still planned to take a closer look.
"Do you know what these nine chains on my body are?"
"The shackles of Heaven's Way".
Apocalypse answered calmly.
"Good to know," Zhulong said slowly.
"My dragon race is an ancient overlord, who once competed with the phoenix and qilin races for supremacy in the primordial world."
However, later, calamities arose, a great war broke out among the three races, and they were burdened by karma. In the end, the dragon race was forced to guard the four seas and could never rise again.
These nine shackles of the Heavenly Dao not only bind my physical body, the Candle Dragon, but also the destiny and lifeline of the entire Dragon Clan.
He looked at Tianqi, and in the dragon's eyes was his reflection shimmering with golden light:
"You now want my dragon race to submit to the human race and connect with humanity."
But have you considered how Heaven would view this?
"My dragon race is already bound by the Heavenly Dao. If we were to become entangled with the Human Dao, it would be equivalent to being bound by both the Heavenly Dao and the Human Dao at the same time."
When the Heavenly Saints punish us, the first to suffer will be my Dragon Clan!
The roar of the Candle Dragon echoed through the sea, causing Ao Guang to retreat repeatedly, and even Sun Wukong frowned.
He wasn't afraid, but rather felt that this guy seemed a bit unaware of the situation outside!
Tianqi remained motionless to the side, and said calmly:
"You're right, senior. I know all that too."
"But has the senior considered another possibility?"
Because the dragon race is already bound by the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, even if there is another layer of human constraints, it won't be much worse.
If it really works out, it might give us another chance to survive.
"A way out?" Zhulong asked, puzzled.
"right."
Tianqi raised his hand, and a small golden dragon immediately appeared in his palm, a manifestation of pure human destiny.
Zhulong watched quietly, without asking why Tianqi, a member of the witch clan, was able to gather the fortune of the human race.
"Heaven decrees that your Dragon Clan must forever suppress the four seas. Although this has the meaning of atonement, it is more of an imprisonment and punishment."
But humanity is different; humanity requires the dragon race to guard the four seas.
It bestows upon you, the human race, a responsibility, primarily one of cooperation.
"As long as your dragon race can wholeheartedly bring rain and clouds to the human race, help the human race expand the seas, and not do evil, the human race will naturally be grateful for the merits of the dragon race."
At that time, with the reciprocation of human fortune,
Not only will it aid your dragon cultivation, but it might even weaken the shackles of the Heavenly Dao that bind you!
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Zhulong's eyes; he was truly tempted now.
Trapped here for countless eons without freedom, their bodies are almost completely rotten.
If this continues, he might really die here!
However, he wasn't stupid; these cataclysmic events were ongoing.
Even though humanity is currently at its zenith, who can guarantee that it will never decline?!
Aren't the dragon race the best example?!
What if the shackles aren't broken before the human race is wiped out? Otherwise, all his efforts would have been in vain, and he would have offended the Heavenly Dao!
Thinking of this, Zhulong spoke again:
"Although the human race is blessed with good fortune, how can it contend with the will of Heaven?"
These nine chains were personally placed by the Heavenly Dao.
Unless humanity's destiny surpasses that of Heaven, it will be impossible to eradicate.
"That's not necessarily true!"
Tianqi smiled; he was now certain that Ao Guang hadn't been coming here to deliver messages much.
This Candle Dragon didn't know much about the outside world, and then confidently said:
"Senior, do you know exactly what happened in the primordial world during the time the dragons were absent?"
"It's nothing more than you younger generations fighting each other and vying for the primordial world!"
What could there be?!
"It's not just about fighting back and forth."
Tianqi shook his head.
"All twelve ancestral witches of my witch clan have achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."
My sister Houtu has now become a sage of the underworld, in charge of the netherworld.
The pool of authentic sages is almost full.
The Master of Heaven broke away from the Heavenly Dao and became a saint of humanity.
The human race also has a Human Emperor presiding over them, and they have even joined forces with my Underworld...
Tianqi paused, then looked at Zhulong with a smile and said:
"Do you understand what I'm saying, senior?!"
