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

Chapter 28 The Rewards from the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, A Two-Pronged Approach

"The ultimate fate of the three races is probably unchangeable, and I am currently too weak to play any role. However, I will surely control my own destiny!"

Ao Bai clenched his fist; he now possessed considerable strength.

At least when setting up the "Hun Tian Si Hai Gui Shui Great Formation", it can barely preserve itself, and even if it encounters a Great Luo Golden Immortal, it can put up a fight.

Ao Bai still has no plans to expand outwards; what he needs most is to start battles and continue farming rewards.

The Henghe Water Palace has very few people at its disposal. Apart from himself, only Xuanwu is of any use.

The remaining creatures—the Wandering Mist, the White Scales, and the Long Beard—had already reached their limit in guarding the Henghe Water Palace.

Golden Immortals are really nothing special in the primordial world.

Without entering the Great Luo realm, one ultimately dares not bare one's teeth.

This was still in the early stages of the primordial era. If it were during the time when the Six Saints returned to their positions, even Quasi-Saint level experts would be insignificant.

Ao Bai worked hard to cultivate and improve, and with the help of his bloodline power, his improvement speed was not slow.

After the Battle of Tiannan, the three races finally fell silent, and the prehistoric world entered a rare period of peaceful development.

However, the aura of imminent calamity between heaven and earth showed no signs of weakening; on the contrary, it grew stronger and stronger.

Just as Ao Bai was in seclusion, the Dragon Palace of the East Sea sent another envoy.

When Long Yuan arrived outside Henghe Water Palace, looking at the familiar water palace, his feelings were completely different from before.

When he first came, Long Yuan didn't take it seriously at all and didn't consider Ao Bai a big deal.

But now, having heard about Ao Bai's performance on the battlefield, he could no longer underestimate Ao Bai.

"Perhaps, a peerless expert will emerge from this Henghe Water Palace in the future."

Long Yuan composed himself and rode a cloud to the sky above Henghe Water Palace.

He came here with a reward from the East Sea Dragon Palace.

After the great battle, Baxia praised Ao Bai's performance in front of Zulong, which made Zulong think highly of Ao Bai. This time, the East Sea Dragon Palace specially distributed rewards, and Ao Bai naturally received one as well.

"The Dragon Clan of the Yokogawa Water Palace, please enjoy!"

Long Yuan's voice resounded throughout the Henghe Water Mansion. Not only Ao Bai and the others heard it, but countless living beings within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles could hear it clearly.

Ao Bai was overjoyed upon hearing this. He had previously guessed that there would be benefits after the battle, but he did not expect the rewards from the East Sea Dragon Palace to arrive so quickly.

Everyone from Henghe Water Palace came to greet them. When Long Yuan landed above the Water Palace and looked down at Ao Bai and the others, his face became more amiable.

"Greetings, messenger!"

Ao Bai and his group of aquatic creatures bowed respectfully, and Long Yuan nodded in acknowledgment.

"Ao Bai, I hereby reward you for your outstanding performance and meritorious service on the Tiannan battlefield. You bravely covered the rear of my dragon army. I hereby bestow upon you five million pieces of coral chalcedony, five million pieces of water spirit essence, and five million pieces of deep-sea immortal algae."

The rewards brought by Longyuan were very generous. These were all important resources that could assist in cultivation and were core items that the dragons had seized in their conquests.

If Ao Bai had alchemy skills, he could maximize the effects of these things.

Unfortunately, the vast dragon race currently lacks alchemists.

The Daoist methods are not yet revealed, and the Great Dao of Alchemy has not yet emerged.

"Many thanks to the Ancestral Dragon for the gift, many thanks to Lord Longyuan!"

Ao Bai stepped forward with delight to receive the reward, which was more than the accumulated wealth of their Henghe Water Mansion over hundreds of thousands of years.

With these treasures, Ao Bai can reward his subordinates and also easily afford to recruit more members.

"Ao Bai, you deserve all of this. This time you covered the retreat for our dragon clan, which is obvious to all. Moreover, you also repelled Mo Yuan, which is a source of pride for our dragon clan. However, you must be careful. Mo Yuan is not a magnanimous person. He may seek revenge."

Long Yuan's attitude towards Ao Bai changed drastically. He no longer showed the disdain he had when he first delivered the order. Instead, he was very confident in Ao Bai and even kindly reminded him to be wary of Mo Yuan.

If you have the ability, you will earn respect.

Without real ability, who will know who you are?

"Thank you for the reminder, sir. I will be much more vigilant in the future, so that Mo Yuan will have no opportunity to take advantage!"

Ao Bai's heart skipped a beat. He had received the golden finger reward and had focused all his attention on cultivation. In his joy, he had indeed lowered his guard.

This might be a deliberate interference from the aura of a great calamity, making you complacent and gradually neglecting your own safety, ultimately leading to your demise.

If Long Yuan hadn't reminded him in time, Ao Bai probably wouldn't have seen this.

"Okay, I have other things to attend to, goodbye!"

Longyuan soared away on the clouds, still needing to continue distributing the rewards.

The dragon race nearly perished in this great battle, which is why they need the ancestral dragon's reward to stabilize morale.

However, the other people did not receive as many rewards as Ao Bai.

For example, the Black River Dragon King only obtained 100,000 pieces of coral chalcedony, and then he had nothing else.

Even so, the Black River Dragon King was overjoyed, for this was a huge fortune for him.

"Thank you, sir!"

Seeing the Black River Dragon King's naive and unworldly smile, Long Yuan turned and left.

At this moment, inside the Henghe Water Palace, Ao Bai waved his hand and took out the reward he had just received to reward the three armies.

Whether they were aquatic tribes who went on the expedition with him or those who stayed behind to guard the Henghe River area, they all received rewards.

This made all the creatures in the Henghe Water Palace cheer with joy, and they became even more devoted to Ao Bai.

"Your Highness, recently, some small tribes have been approaching from the outskirts of the Henghe River area. They seem to want to join us. What should we do next?"

Upon receiving the reward, Youwu immediately began to show off.

She knew how to time things well; bringing it up at this moment would definitely make Ao Bai feel even better.

"If any clans wish to join, we would naturally welcome them. If our Henghe Water Palace wants to become powerful, it must have enough cultivators. I'll leave this matter to you; you must attract as many cultivators as possible."

Ao Bai said without hesitation that he personally led 30 million Golden Immortals in a battle on the Tiannan battlefield, a force that could directly contend with Great Luo Golden Immortals!

After trying it out himself, Ao Bai was eager to build such a team for himself.

As long as he has enough people to set up the formation, what is there to fear from Mo Yuan!

Now that Ao Bai has enough wealth, attracting cultivators to come and join him is not a problem at all.

However, instead of passively waiting for the cultivators to approach, there is another way: to take the initiative.

If Ao Bai kills the nearby Golden-Eyed White Ape clan, their territory will be vacated, and new clans will definitely take a liking to that place. In this way, Ao Bai will have absolute confidence in subduing them.

Although there are many good places for cultivation in the prehistoric world, there are even more different races. Therefore, it is very important for a race to occupy a better place for cultivation.

Having devised a plan, Ao Bai intended to employ a two-pronged approach!

While gathering forces that willingly pledge allegiance, they also launch offensives to eliminate enemies, and along the way, they can rack up some cheat codes for rewards.
