If I let you lie low and remain the Dragon King, would you have unified the primordial world?

Chapter 2 A Masterful Cunning

When Ao Bai was born, he was holding a jade seal. The jade seal was as white as jade and had a warm and lustrous sheen. Therefore, Ao Bai was named Bai at birth.

Legend has it that Taiyi was born holding a bell, and the Three Pure Ones also possess the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda. Ao Bai originally thought that his jade seal also had the power to reach the heavens and the earth.

For the past 120 years, no matter how hard Ao Bai tried, he gained nothing; this companion creature never showed any special abilities.

Now, amidst great changes, unexpectedly, a turning point has emerged.

The white jade seal is carved with nine dragons encircling it, and the lower part is square. The base is engraved with four large characters: "May you live long and prosper".

At this moment, the jade seal merged into Ao Bai's sea of ​​consciousness, and streams of information appeared accordingly.

Ao Bai quickly understood everything. This was his cheat system, which was activated after he was appointed as the Henghe Dragon King.

[Reborn 120 years into the primordial era, the Ancestral Dragon led his dragon army in a bloody battle against the Qilin clan. Your father was critically wounded and on the verge of death. In the nick of time, you became the new Dragon King. You narrowly escaped the battle and received the following rewards:]

[Basic cultivation reward: 12,000 years (This reward is based on one's own aptitude and will change as one's aptitude changes.)]

[Reward: Taiyi Golden Immortal-level formation, "Hun Tian Si Hai Gui Shui Grand Formation".]

Ao Bai was overjoyed when he saw the two rewards that appeared.

"A cheat system is indeed an essential tool for time travel. With this cheat system assisting us, how can my dragon race not prosper!"

In Ao Bai's view, as long as this cheat code is used well, not only will protecting the Henghe River basin be no problem, but in the future, slaying witches and destroying demons, and unifying the prehistoric world will also be no problem.

Of course, we still have to hold on for now.

You're a celestial being; now's not the time for you to roam around carelessly.

His cheat code is simple: if he encounters danger and successfully overcomes it, he will receive a reward directly.

The rewards will vary depending on one's performance and level of participation in the ordeal, as well as the scale of the ordeal.

For example, if Ao Bai successfully overcomes this difficulty, there will definitely be a reward in his account.

This made Ao Bai even look forward to it, and he was no longer afraid of this crisis.

In addition, there is the Dragon-Han First Calamity, which is a massive calamity that wipes out the dragon race. If Ao Bai can survive, the reward will probably be even more incredible.

However, the prerequisite is that you can survive first.

Ao Bai awoke from his inner vision, having already firmly grasped the Hun Tian Si Hai Gui Shui Great Formation and mastered it thoroughly.

"I'll absorb the twelve thousand years of cultivation first."

Ao Bai dared not be arrogant. Now that he had a cheat system, he couldn't be careless. If he couldn't grow up even with that, he would be a joke.

In the future, he will fight against the Three Pure Ones, destroy the Lich King and the Demon King, and unify the prehistoric world. How can he do that without some shrewdness?

As for dealing with Hongjun, the decisive battle between Hongjun and Luohou is probably not far off, and Ao Bai doesn't have much time left. He doesn't plan to challenge Hongjun for the time being.

"Secluded cultivation!"

Ao Bai sat cross-legged with his palms facing upwards, and streams of magical power rapidly grew, which he then devoured and absorbed.

Twelve thousand years of cultivation sounds like a lot, enough for countless dynasties to rise and fall in later generations, but it's really nothing in the prehistoric world. Even the Great Luo Golden Immortals don't spend that much time in seclusion.

"boom!"

A surge of dragon energy emanated from Ao Bai's body, his strength rapidly increased, and his powerful force suppressed all directions.

The dragon race is not only physically powerful, but its primordial spirit is also strong enough to suppress other races.

As one of the three overlords of the primordial world, the dragon race's overall strength was enough to crush most races, even in the primordial world.

Unfortunately, the dragon race declined in later generations, and its bloodline became increasingly diluted, eventually relegating it to the ranks of the lowest classes.

The glory of the past is gone.

The physical bodies of the ancient pure-blooded dragon race were no worse than those of the witch race, and their primordial spirits were no weaker than those of the demon race. They were a truly powerful race.

"Breakthrough! Mid-stage Earth Immortal Realm."

Ao Bai was overjoyed. In the prehistoric world, time was the least valuable thing. It was indeed quite good to be able to break through a small realm in more than ten thousand years. Who told Ao Bai to have such poor bloodline aptitude?

As the lowest-ranking possessor of dragon blood, he was still quite self-aware.

Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, Golden Dragon Bloodline, Azure Dragon Bloodline, Silver Dragon Bloodline, White Dragon Bloodline, Black Dragon Bloodline, Ordinary Dragon Bloodline.

This order, from highest to lowest, represents the bloodline qualities of the dragon race.

Of course, bloodline does not represent absolute strength.

In terms of the Azure Dragon bloodline, if you can upgrade to a Nine-Clawed Azure Dragon, you will be an existence that crushes everything.

As for the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, it is more like a symbol. Ao Bai believes that there must be an even higher level of bloodline power above the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline.

However, no dragon has reached that level yet, so no one knows the specific division of realms.

Ao Bai is currently just an ordinary dragon, and has not awakened any bloodline power, so he is well aware of how poor his aptitude is.

"Let's practice the 'Hun Tian Si Hai Gui Shui Grand Formation'. There are quite a few naval forces in Henghe. If we can set up this formation and take advantage of Henghe's terrain, it shouldn't be a problem to block the invading enemy."

After careful consideration, Ao Bai got up and left the main hall.

Now that Ao Feng, the strongest among them, has fallen, the second strongest in the Henghe River area is General Crab.

Ghost-faced Tyrant Crab, a wandering mist, a late-stage Golden Immortal cultivator, and a primordial being.

Ao Bai carefully prepared a gift and arrived at General Crab's main hall as soon as possible.

As Ao Feng's right-hand woman, Crab General was highly valued and had a certain degree of loyalty to Ao Feng and his son.

Yes, this is a female crab.

"General Crab!"

Ao Bai was all smiles. Just then, several fellow practitioners came to visit General Crab's mansion. Upon seeing Ao Bai, they all stood up and bowed.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

Although Ao Bai was young, his status as a dragon meant that no one dared to disrespect him.

Even the smallest dragon is still a dragon.

Ao Bai stepped forward, and General Crab personally led him to the main seat.

"Your Highness, the Dragon King is seriously injured and should not be attending to him in the Dragon Palace. Why have you come here?"

Crab General was a burly man, especially his arms, which were three inches thicker than Ao Bai's waist.

She is straightforward and never beats around the bush.

Ao Bai glanced at the people beside him and said:

"My father was seriously injured and went into seclusion, entrusting me with all matters concerning the Henghe Water Palace. But I know I am young, and without the help of my elders, how can I protect this million-mile Henghe Water Palace?"

Upon hearing Ao Bai's words, the others immediately understood something.

"General Crab is the number one general in my Henghe River region. Now my father wants me to be the Dragon King. If you help me, I will now appoint you as the Grand Marshal of the Henghe River Water Palace. What do you say?"

Ao Bai cut to the chase, saying that although General Crab had been highly regarded before, he was still just a general who commanded a portion of the aquatic creatures.

The Grand Marshal of the Water Palace is the one who commands the entire Henghe Water Palace and controls all millions of aquatic creatures.

In the Yokogawa Water Palace, there are three generals: Crab General Youwu, Catfish General Changxu, and Water Snake General Bailin.

General Crab knew the current situation of Henghe Water Palace. If they couldn't protect the Water Palace, their fate would likely be death and annihilation. In that case, everything Ao Bai promised would be without question, and she might even have to risk her life.

If she secretly colludes with other forces and betrays Ao Feng and his son to save her life, she will likely not be valued even if she joins a new force in the future, and may even suffer the fate of being discarded like a "hunter after the rabbit is killed".

The ability to betray one's former master is also the ability to betray one's new master; this is a fatal issue that traitors can never avoid.

Protecting the Henghe Water Palace is extremely difficult!

"Your Highness, do you have any good strategies to repel the enemy? I've heard that the three Dragon Kings of the nearby waters are preparing to come here. Once their army arrives, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand them at all!"

General Crab neither agreed to Ao Bai's conditions nor refused them. Instead, he raised his own question: how to defend against the invading enemy.
