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

Chapter 70: Zhulong Submits and Presents Treasure (Please Read Further)

Seeing this scene playing in the sky and hearing the murmurs of the dragons, Zhulong was ashamed and blushed.

"Taiwei, you son of a bitch! I, your ancestor, give up! I give up! Turn it off!"

Donghua scoffed and said, "Call him Your Majesty."

"His Majesty!"

"Call me boss."

"Boss!"

"How should I address you when we meet in the future?"

"Your Majesty? Eldest Boss?"

"Behave yourself. If you ever slur your words to me again, I won't mind serving you a delicious dragon baby."

Donghua then released Zhulong and removed the Water Mirror Technique, since the scene had already been recorded anyway.

After Zhulong stood up, he dismissed the surrounding dragons, and everyone suppressed their laughter and returned to their respective caves.

But how could the laughter that followed them back to their caves possibly block the vision and hearing of a Quasi-Saint!

Zhulong was so angry that he didn't say a word and walked towards the Crystal Palace with his head down.

Seeing Zhulong leave, Ao Ming, who was standing next to Donghua, could no longer hold back his smile and burst into laughter.

……

Time flies, and before you know it, Donghua has been staying at the East Sea Dragon Palace for a month since he beat up Zhulong last time.

During this period, Zhulong went into seclusion and refused to let anyone who wanted to visit him enter.

"What's wrong? Is Zhulong still throwing a tantrum?"

Donghua came to Ao Ming's side and stood outside the Zhulong Cave.

Ao Ming smiled but didn't say anything!

Donghua gestured for Ao Ming to step back, and then walked straight into the Candle Dragon Cave. The protective array seemed to be non-existent to him.

"Hmph, what are you doing here? Coming to see the old patriarch make a fool of himself?"

"You old codger, you've got a temper now? Forgot how to address me?"

Zhulong turned to look at Donghua, staring directly into him, his eyes seemingly turning into vertical pupils, and remained silent for a long time.

Donghua remained calm and sat there quietly!

"His Majesty!"

Donghua hummed in agreement, then said, "I am about to leave the Dragon Palace. After the Dao Ancestor merges with the Dao, the primordial world will surely be engulfed in chaos, and the four seas will likely not be peaceful."

"You dragons should also be careful. The world is vast, and you cannot defend it all now. You should abandon some places that need to be abandoned. Don't fight them for short-term gains. Think long-term!"

Zhulong nodded in agreement. He agreed with Donghua's strategy. The dragon race was no longer what it used to be. As long as they held the key positions in the four seas, they would be fine!

"I'm not worried about the East, West, and South Seas. The most important thing right now is the North Sea. Kunpeng will definitely send troops from the Netherworld of the North Sea. I just don't know how big his appetite is. Is it the entire North Sea, or just a part of it!"

"If Kunpeng intends to devour the entire North Sea, then our Dragon Clan must not give up. But if it's only a part, we have the resolve to relinquish it!"

Donghua pondered for a moment, then said directly, "We cannot completely abandon the North Sea, otherwise your overwhelming karma will ensure that your dragon race will never have a chance to rise again, and you will never be able to hold your heads high. Therefore, even if it is only the nominal leadership of the North Sea, we must preserve it!"

The dragon race is still able to survive intact and is not greatly affected by karma, entirely because of the Four Seas. The dragon race guards the Four Seas and has merit on its hands at all times. In addition, with its huge population, nothing has happened!

Upon hearing Donghua's support, Zhulong nodded in satisfaction, but said with concern, "If it were just Kunpeng alone, I wouldn't be worried. But if Kunpeng leads the demon race to attack, then..."

"If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold; if the Dragon Clan perishes, my Purple Mansion will also perish. The alliance between the Purple Mansion and the Dragon Clan is not just empty words. If you are in danger, the Purple Mansion will definitely come to your aid!"

"After all, the Dragon Clan is the first line of defense for the Purple Mansion, so rest assured, if we die, we die together!"

Zhulong laughed heartily, and Donghua also smiled slightly!

"Your Majesty, I haven't yet congratulated you and the Queen Mother of the West on your marriage. I was unable to attend last time due to seclusion, which is truly a great regret!"

Donghua waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It's alright, Taizhen and I are just a natural progression!"

Zhulong looked him over and slowly said, "To be honest, it was quite unexpected that you and west Wangmu could become Daoist partners. After all, Xi Wangmu in the ancient times was a real tigress, in charge of executions, plagues and death. Tsk tsk tsk, I still remember that scene vividly."

Donghua took a sip of tea and slowly said, "I've remembered these words. I'll tell Taizhen about them next time we meet!"

Zhulong panicked, "No, Your Majesty, you can't do this to me!"

……

When Donghua returned to the Purple Mansion, the outer perimeter of the Three Islands and Ten Continents was tightly sealed off, and the island-protecting formation had been activated.

Seeing this, Donghua was quite satisfied and rode Gouchen straight into Zifu Continent!

"The Emperor has returned!"

"His Majesty is back!"

Upon arriving at Jingyang Palace, they summoned the Grand Master of Fate.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Donghua nodded with satisfaction to the Grand Master of Fate and said kindly, "You did very well while I was away, especially when the fortune of the Purple Mansion declined. You remained calm in the face of danger and acted decisively, living up to my trust!"

Yun Zhongjun had already told Donghua about this matter last time in Xikunlun.

The Grand Master of Fate maintained his cold and indifferent expression: "When I was in my humble beginnings, I was fortunate enough to be saved by the Emperor, who imparted to me supernatural powers and bestowed upon me the position of Grand Master of Fate. I will never forget this!"

Donghua smiled helplessly: "You, you, you've held onto this for so many years. Let bygones be bygones, don't bring it up again!"

He then changed the subject and asked, "What do you think of Haotian?"

The Grand Master of Fate: "Haotian is a capable person, but he is also an ambitious one!"

"Having the ability is enough; ambition is insignificant. It's not that we're afraid of him having it, it's that we're afraid of him not having it!"

"Entrust some affairs of the Purple Mansion to him, and focus on cultivation during this time, striving to attain enlightenment as soon as possible."

Donghua, worried that Da Siming might overthink things, explained further: "Power is only temporary; strength will never let you down!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I understand."

"Good to know. This is the Phoenix Clan's top-tier innate spiritual treasure, the Nirvana Pearl, which can release Phoenix True Fire and contains the Great Dao of Nirvana."

"Your main focus is on the path of life and death; the cycle of birth and death is the path to Nirvana. During this time, you should contemplate and cultivate, striving to attain enlightenment!"

The Grand Master of Fate hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, this is too precious, I..."

"Take it!"

"I bow in gratitude to Your Majesty; I am unworthy to accept such thanks!"

Donghua: "Summon all members of the Purple Mansion to the main hall of Jingyang Palace for a meeting!"

……

Jingyang Palace is a small world in itself, with its main hall large enough to accommodate ten thousand people. Inside the hall, the altar is surrounded by clouds, ethereal mist, and swirling purple aura. Above it stands a towering cloud bed, upon which nine dragons coil and a hundred phoenixes sing, adorned with white lotus blossoms.

When Donghua entered the main hall, the leaders of the Purple Mansion were already seated on the altar, bowing and paying their respects, and they all shouted in unison, "Your subjects pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"No need for formalities!"

Donghua spoke, his voice booming from the sky like thunder, yet also like a gentle breeze: "Since the founding of my Purple Mansion, there has never been such a grand occasion. Your contributions are indispensable, and I thank you all for your efforts!"

"Welcome to those newly entering the Purple Mansion! The Purple Mansion will not treat you unfairly. The Purple Mansion belongs to me, and it belongs to you all!"

"The purpose of our Purple Mansion is to establish a moral compass for Heaven and Earth, and to contribute to the primordial world. Every member of the Purple Mansion must become a person of merit for Heaven and Earth, so as not to fail the immortal path of the Purple Mansion!"

"Your Majesty, we have received your command and will remember your teachings!"

Looking at the many unfamiliar figures in the main hall, Donghua really couldn't understand how so many people could join the Purple Mansion when he had only been away for two sessions, less than 30,000 years!

Among them were people from the ancient times, various races from the prehistoric era, and even three people from Zixiao Palace who had listened to the Dao.

And what the hell is this lamp? How did you end up in my Purple Mansion?

Donghua was worried about these newcomers, which is why he made the speech in the main hall earlier, asking everyone to uphold the principles of heaven and earth, to be people who make contributions, and to be people who have merit.

Newcomers are most eager to make contributions, and are therefore most prone to impulsiveness. After all, the most important thing about joining a faction is to acquire luck, cultivation techniques and supernatural powers, and cultivation resources.

Of course, there are also some people who are truly idealistic and ambitious, but Donghua is most worried about these people. If we don't give them some encouragement first, they will really cause trouble if they get into trouble!
