Primordial Era: I really don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor!

Chapter 15 Alliance

The two left the space, where the area was already filled with dragons.

When the dragons saw Zhulong being helped by Donghua, they all stepped forward.

"Ancestor, how are you?"

"Ancestor, are you alright?"

"Ancestor..."

……

Zhulong shoved Donghua aside and said impatiently, "What are you doing? What are you doing? I'm not dead yet, what are you all howling about!"

"Although the calamity of the Taotie has been resolved, this creature is immortal and will return sooner or later, so the seal here needs to be rearranged."

Upon hearing this, Donghua nodded.

These four ferocious beasts and four divine beasts were born with primordial fortune and their cultivation was at the quasi-saint level. They could be said to be truly immortal and indestructible.

In fact, all innate deities are born with their own destiny and possess the attribute of immortality.

Just like Dongwanggong, who was later destroyed, he was reincarnated and became Donghua Dijun of the Heavenly Court. He was reincarnated again and became Lü Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals.

Although his achievements were declining and he was no longer the same as before, the wisp of innate true spirit was indeed that of the Eastern King Duke.

In other words, your mark will not disappear in the primordial world, but the one who returns will no longer be you, unless your cultivation reaches the Great Luo realm, in which case you can possess all the memories and Dao principles of your past life.

But that's still not you.

Donghua is in this situation now, except that he has received all of the original owner's cultivation, which makes him a bit special.

It's like in the primordial world, when Fuxi died and was reincarnated as a human, becoming Emperor Fuxi, but he was no longer the same Fuxi, only possessing memories.

Donghua: "The sealing formation here is extremely profound; it only needs to be rearranged."

"Alright, there's no rush here. Although Taotie is immortal, the primordial world is no longer what it was at the beginning of time. Even if Taotie is reborn, its cultivation level will definitely decline."

"Don't try to hold on here. Go back and heal your wounds. Once you've recovered, we can make arrangements slowly."

After saying this, Donghua prepared to get up and leave.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Your Majesty has done a great favor for my Dragon Clan and for my Zhulong clan. I would like to invite Your Majesty to stay with my Dragon Clan for a few days until I finish healing, so that I may fulfill my duty as a host."

Zhulong, forcing himself to stand, bowed. Donghua thought for a moment and did not refuse. This time, he could be said to have done the Dragon Clan a great favor. Although he did not expect any reward at the beginning, he simply wanted to test his skills. After all, he had never really fought since he gained this strength.

"Very well, I also wish to witness the prosperity of the Dragon Clan."

The group left the space and returned to the Dragon Clan's Crystal Palace.

Zhulong has gone into complete seclusion to heal his injuries. Donghua has also been in seclusion for a few days to recover. He wasn't seriously injured; he was simply summarizing the experiences and shortcomings of this battle. This is a habit he developed from being a civil servant in his previous life—he's good at summarizing.

After Donghua left the pass, he began his travels in the Dragon Clan Sea, witnessing the wonders of the primordial ocean.

We visited the East Sea Dragon Clan's training ground, which was where the Ancestral Dragon trained his soldiers; it's a separate space.

In the past, this place was filled with True Immortals as soldiers, Golden Immortals and Taiyi as generals, Daluo as commanders, and Quasi-Saints as generals. The aura of war permeated the East Sea, and its power was as fierce as a tiger that could swallow up thousands of miles. Now, this place is no longer as glorious as it once was.

These past few days, Donghua's visit to the East Sea Dragon Clan has further strengthened his resolve not to seek hegemony. To seek hegemony in the prehistoric world is a dead end.

Previously, there were three races that wanted to unify the prehistoric world; later, there was Rahu who wanted to sweep across the prehistoric world and establish the great power of the demonic path; now there are the demon race, the Heavenly Court, and the witch race who want to dominate the world; and later, there should be Haotian who is unwilling to be a puppet of the six saints.

"Look at which of them had a good ending. The three races exist in name only. Rahu has become a Daoist, the Wu race has completely withdrawn from the prehistoric world, and the Yao race, due to its large number, is still active in the prehistoric world, but it is no longer as glorious as it is now."

"Even with such a powerful background as Haotian, he was still tricked into reincarnation. After returning, he was no longer the Heavenly Emperor Haotian, but only the Jade Emperor."

"So, in the struggle for supremacy in the primordial world, there is only one path: death. Isn't it better to quietly pursue the Dao?"

On this day, Donghua was cultivating when Ao Ming, the Dragon King of the East Sea, walked in.

"What brings the Dragon King here?"

Ao Ming: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Ancestor Zhulong has emerged from seclusion and is holding a banquet in the Dragon Palace today. I have come to request Your Majesty's permission."

Ao Ming's attitude these past few days has been very good, and he has adopted a humble posture.

The two arrived at the banquet in the Dragon Palace, where Zhulong and the rest of the dragon clan were waiting to greet them outside the hall.

Donghua: "Fellow Daoist, you look radiant today; it seems your injuries have healed."

Zhulong: "Thank you for your concern, fellow Daoist. This is just a minor injury, nothing to mention."

"We greet the Eastern King." The dragons all bowed in greeting.

Upon entering the main hall, there were two seats at the head of the table, with no distinction of rank. Zhulong led Donghua to take his seat.

Below it are four seats, which are the seats of the Dragon Kings of the four seas in the east, west, south, and north.

As everyone took their seats, the banquet officially began.

In an instant, wine cups were clinked, drums and music resounded, and dragon maidens danced.

When the banquet ended, only a dozen or so people remained in the palace.

Zhulong: "Fellow Daoist Dongwang has done a great favor for our dragon clan this time, and even more so for Zhulong, who has saved our lives. We have no way to repay him."

After Zhulong finished speaking, the four Dragon Kings each took out a magical treasure.

"Fellow Daoist Dongwang, this is a top-tier acquired spiritual treasure armor called the Xuantian Armor. It was originally crafted by the Ancestral Dragon. Unfortunately, after the armor was completed, the Ancestral Dragon had already transformed into a Daoist and suppressed the four seas."

Zhulong stroked the armor: "As the saying goes, a fine sword is a hero's gift. Our dragon clan is willing to give this set of armor to you, fellow Daoist, in order to repay the kindness you have shown us."

Zhulong's words were also very clear: a set of armor could not possibly repay all the debts owed to Donghua for his help.

Donghua thought for a moment and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Zhulong is so kind, I will accept it."

Donghua waved his hand and took the armor.

Zhulong and the dragons exchanged glances and said, "Fellow Daoist Dongwang, I have a favor to ask of you today."

Zhulong began by saying, "Now that the demon race's Heavenly Court is fully powerful and Emperor Jun is ambitious, it's only a matter of time before they launch an attack on the East Sea."

"Our Dragon Clan wishes to form an alliance with your Purple Mansion, to advance and retreat together. What is the Eastern King's opinion?"

Donghua thought about what Zhulong had suggested, shook his head, and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhulong, I am devoted to the Dao and have no interest in the matter of vying for supremacy. Let's forget about what you asked."

It's a foregone conclusion that the demon race will attack the dragon race. There's no benefit in it, so why would Donghua rush to do it?

Zhulong shook his head: "I understand what the Eastern King means. Now, our dragon clan no longer wishes to contend for supremacy. We only wish to focus on cultivation and stay in the four seas."

"But the Heavenly Court is unwilling to let us go. If the Heavenly Court conquers the four seas, how can your Purple Mansion be left unscathed? Now that we have formed an alliance, the Heavenly Court will have to think twice."

Donghua was very interested in what Zhulong said. Although he had no desire to contend for supremacy now, the Heavenly Court was watching him closely, and Donghua was not 100% sure that the Heavenly Court would not attack Zifu and would not repeat the same mistakes.

After meeting the Dao Ancestor last time, Donghua knew that the day when Hongjun would merge with the Dao was not far off.

Once Hongjun attains enlightenment, his status as the head of male immortals will no longer be as glorious as it is now, and the Heavenly Court's apprehension will certainly lessen.

However, allying with the dragons has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that with the two major powers forming an alliance, the Heavenly Court will definitely be wary, and he himself will be much safer.

The downside is that once an alliance is formed, what will the Heavenly Court think? Will they believe that Donghua has ambitions to dominate and regard him as the second rival after the Demon God Clan?

Moreover, although the dragon race existed in later generations, it was definitely a troublemaker and a place of right and wrong.

He is currently stuck at the Quasi-Saint realm, making it difficult to sever his corpse, and his strength and realm cannot be improved in a short period of time.

Thinking about this, Donghua got a headache again. He was not a person who liked to think, and this situation was really complicated.

He really just wanted to lie down and relax.

Seeing Donghua deep in thought, Zhulong gave Ao Ming a wink.

"Fellow Daoist Dongwang, I hope you will give this matter much consideration."

Donghua nodded.
