When Long Chen mentioned the Chaos Dragon Emperor, everyone fell silent, and they lowered their heads in shame.
When did the great dragon clan need to rely on human pills to improve themselves?
In the early Chaos Era, the human race struggled to survive amid the cracks of ten thousand races. At that time, the dragon clan had already stood at the pinnacle of all races.
Later, the human race erupted, producing a peerless powerhouse who illuminated the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. From then on, the human race surpassed the previous generation and became the rulers of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Yet even when the human race ruled the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the dragons' status remained unshakable. Today, the human race has completely declined, and the dragons have always mocked their foolishness and arrogance, which ultimately led to today's outcome.
Ironically, the arrogant dragons began coveting the human clan's pills, hoping to use them to improve themselves.
Long Chen's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads. As clan leaders, even they had such thoughts. It could only be said that the Dragon Clan had truly fallen into complete decline, which made them feel extremely ashamed.
Now, what right do they have to mock the human race? They kept calling people lowly, and thinking back now, they all blushed at their previous actions.
"I really don't like hearing what you say, but I have to admit it—it makes sense. We have let down our ancestors, before the Dragon Emperor. I don't know if one day I die on the battlefield, will I still have the face to face the ancestors of the Dragon Clan?" Xie Qianzhong said with a face full of shame.
The others nodded as well. Today, Long Chen's words had awakened the dreamer. Only then did they realize that, as commanders, they had unknowingly led the dragon clan astray. Thinking of this, they all broke out in a cold sweat.
"Since arriving in the Dragon Domain, I have seen hatred, unwillingness, and jealousy in the eyes of countless powerful beings.
My brothers, bearing dragon blood and blessed by dragon souls, as long as you have eyes, you can see that we have earned the recognition of the dragon clan elders and thus received such blessings.
But they didn't want to admit it, nor could they accept it, because they couldn't accept that the great dragon clan had actually entrusted the power of the blood soul to the human race.
So, they wanted to kill us, to erase their shame, but never considered why the ancestors of the Dragon Clan would give us power.
That's because they're too incompetent and too foolish. The dragon elders have no choice but to give us their power, hoping we can help the dragon clan." Long Chen said.
The reason the Dragon Blood Legion came to the Dragon Domain and caused the entire domain to explode was precisely because of this.
Especially for the prodigies of the Dragon Domain, they would rather die than admit that the Dragonblood Warriors were superior to them.
"Actually, it's not them, but us." Mo Ying sighed.
Long Chen had deliberately criticized them earlier, but if he asked honestly, Mo Ying, Chi Yue, Xie Qianzhong, and the others also harbored jealousy. They didn't want to acknowledge the Dragon Blood Legion, because acknowledging them would mean admitting the dragon clan's incompetence and forcing outsiders to save them.
The others also wore expressions of shame. Today, everyone had dropped their disguises. They no longer had any guard or hatred toward Long Chen. At the same time, after letting down their guard, they felt deep in their souls Long Chen's kindness toward the dragon clan.
Long Chen briefly recounted his journey into the Dragon Burial Ground, entering the Imperial Dragon Blood Pool, gaining recognition from the Imperial Dragon experts, and receiving the blessing of the Ten Thousand Dragon Souls.
Although Bai Yingxue had entered there before, she didn't know the process inside. So, while the White Dragon Clan knew a little, they were completely unaware of the details.
Now that Long Chen had spoken, everyone finally understood that Long Chen and the others had gone through life-and-death battles to gain recognition, and the entire Dragon Blood Legion had received the blessing of the Dragon Soul. Their hearts were instantly filled with admiration.
Because they knew these were all ancient dragon souls. Their standards were extremely high and full of pride. Gaining their recognition was nearly impossible.
The Dragon Domain also has countless dragon clan inheritances, but they have never been able to obtain them precisely because they cannot gain the recognition of the ancient dragon souls.
They even knelt down to plead, saying the Dragon Domain was in crisis and that if the inheritance was not passed down, the Dragon Clan would face extinction.
It would have been better if they didn't kneel, but when they did, they were met with a harsh scolding. They said they had no backbone, couldn't solve a crisis, and still needed the protection of their ancestors. They had completely disgraced the dragon clan, and they decided to just die.
Now, the Dragon Domain is growing more chaotic, yet the Ancient Dragon Soul remains unaware, as if it wants to let the dragon clan perish. They have no way to do anything.
And for the Dragonblood Legion, if every member gains the recognition of the Ancient Dragon Soul, it means they are truly outstanding to the extreme.
"We apologize for your previous arrogance and ignorance." The chief of the Red Dragon clan suddenly stood up and respectfully saluted Long Chen with the courtesy of a dragon.
"Senior, you're too polite. I was arrogant and overbearing before and didn't understand etiquette. You're magnanimous, don't take it to heart."
Seeing the Red Dragon Clan Chief, a stubborn figure like a donkey, apologize to him, Long Chen felt embarrassed and hurriedly bowed to apologize.
"It's impossible not to take it to heart. Your words are infuriating, too damaging. Not only did they hit my heart, they hit my lungs." Chiyue said with a bitter smile.
"Hahaha..."
At Chiyue Clan Chichi's words, everyone burst into laughter. This laugh completely erased the barriers between them and tightly united their souls.
The emotions of the dragon clan are very simple, far less complex than those of humans. Once they accept you, they are willing to risk their lives for you and will never betray you.
After laughing, Long Chen said, "Seniors, thank you for your trust. I'm here with a mission as well.
The chaos among the dragon clan is partly due to outsiders' malice, and partly due to fate. Of course, it also has our own mistakes—in short, it's all caused by multiple factors.
The urgent task now is to remove the malignant tumor, restore order to the Dragon Domain, and let it bloom with vitality once again."
"Young man, just say it. With just your command, our six factions—no, the seven major ones—will all follow your lead." Xie Qianzhong said excitedly.
Xie Qianzhong was the most naive. He believed that since Long Chen had gained the recognition of the Primordial Dragon Soul, he could fully trust him. Moreover, Long Chen was extremely clever—something none of them could match. With Long Chen giving orders, they only needed to carry them out.
Long Chen smiled and said, "Chief Qianzhong, don't worry... "
Why call me clan leader? Call me big brother... Of course, if you don't mind that I'm clumsy... Xie Qianzhong said.
Long Chen wasn't the type to be sentimental. He spoke directly: "Alright, Brother Qianzhong doesn't matter, but you're not in a hurry..."
This mention made Xie Qianzhong beam with joy and excitement.
"Let's not rush to act, because no family thief can't attract an outsider. And this time, I still need to wait for another outsider to settle the score with him."
Mentioning that outsider, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of Long Chen's mouth.
