Primordial Era: I, Wutu, govern the Earthly Dao and suppress the Heavenly Dao.

Chapter 81 The Old Earthworm Threatens Our Dragon Clan? The Azure Dragon's Solution to Both

The early birth of the Eastern King was also due to Qing Li's creation of the primordial world.

The Five Elements Ancestor stared at the Eastern King Duke, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

When Dongwanggong took human form, he noticed that this disciple was different from other innate beings, and also different from Kunpeng.

This disciple exuded an aura of nobility!

This aura gave him a sense that the Eastern King Duke's future achievements would be extraordinary.

Now, seeing that all three races were about to withdraw from the primordial world, the Five Elements Ancestor suddenly realized, "This child must possess the principles to govern the primordial world!"

But he was formed from the first wisp of yang energy, which does not correspond to my Five Elements Dao, and he has no other brothers or races by his side. How can he shoulder this responsibility?

Relying on Kunpeng's assistance—

No, given my disciple Kunpeng's temperament, even if he obeys my command to assist him, he will not be wholeheartedly devoted, unless—

The Five Elements Ancestor suddenly fixed his gaze on the yellow plum tree next to him!

Haha~ Although my disciple, the Eastern King, has no brothers or races to help him, he has my top-grade innate spiritual root to assist him!

"The twelve initial yellow plums represent twelve peak Grand Luo Golden Immortals!"

This doesn't even include the Huangzhongli he'll cultivate during this period and in the future; with this, he'll surely be able to manage the prehistoric world well.

Even if he doesn't conform to my Five Elements Dao, his position in managing the primordial world can still help me obtain many Five Elements spiritual treasures and spiritual roots in the future, thus enabling me to achieve Dao faster!

Thinking of this, the Five Elements Ancestor decisively took out the twelve yellow plums.

Then, under the expectant and delighted gazes of his two disciples, it was pushed in front of Dongwanggong. "Dongwanggong, now that all three races are about to withdraw from the primordial world, your master observes whether you have the ability to shoulder the responsibility of becoming the Lord of Heaven and Earth."

"These twelve Yellow Plums, and all the Yellow Plums that will grow in the future, are entrusted to you by your master. I hope that after you leave the island, you will be able to use them to lead all the immortals and manage the prehistoric world well."

"Kunpeng, you are the senior brother. From now on, you should assist your junior brother well. When I find other spiritual roots, I will bestow them upon you."

"Disciple obeys!"

Both disciples respectfully accepted the order.

The Eastern King was overjoyed and became arrogant, while the Kunpeng was distressed and became jealous. Each harbored their own thoughts.

All the Chaos Gods secretly plotted and schemed because Hongjun demanded the Treasure of Cause and Effect from the Dragon Clan.

Hongjun himself knew that he was being manipulated by Zhenyuanzi, but he had no choice but to do so.

The first is the innate supreme treasure, the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls!

Secondly, it is so that we can control the dragon race and the weather in the sky in the future!

Thirdly, and most importantly, his actions were in accordance with the will of Heaven!

Even if the dragon race, which has created immense karma in the primordial world, makes amends for it, how can it possibly dominate the primordial world?

Heaven and earth will not allow it!

Looking at the dumbfounded and desperate Zulong, Hongjun, who should have been bursting with confidence, felt a trace of panic welling up in his Dao heart.

The thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls belong to me; the dragon race can only fill the sea's eye with their own power!

If this succeeds, I will not only obtain a supreme innate treasure, but also the merit of suppressing the dragon race on behalf of Heaven, and the merit of ending this great calamity of heaven and earth!

"Even if this merit cannot directly enable me to unify my three corpses and attain enlightenment, it will certainly advance the process considerably!"

But why am I panicking?

I now desire this treasure, and heaven and earth bear witness! The dragon race has absolutely no chance of refusing me!

"Could there be another unexpected development?"

"So, does this come from the Dragon Clan, or from him—Zhen Yuanzi?"

—This old Earth element, could he be plotting something else?

The thought of Zhen Yuanzi made Hongjun's Dao heart increasingly uneasy.

In order to get Zulong to compromise as soon as possible, he had no choice but to urge him again, "Fellow Daoist Zulong, your dragon clan has wreaked havoc in the prehistoric world. If it weren't for the calamity sealed by heaven and earth here, it would have already caused great suffering and created enormous evil consequences."

"Now that the Qilin and Phoenix clans have retreated from the primordial world to atone for their karma, your dragon clan should also follow suit and leave the primordial world, using your dragon forms to fill the eye of the sea and restore the order and rules of the primordial world!"

Hongjun's words ignited a murderous intent in Zulong's eyes. "And what if my dragon clan—does not retreat?"

"If we don't retreat, then we won't retreat."

Hongjun smiled indifferently, "I only reminded you of this because of our friendship."

"Whether your dragon clan retreats or not, whether it lives or dies, is none of my concern."

"As I said before, I've come here solely for the karmic treasure you owe me!"

"You—"

Hongjun's words seemed kind and indifferent, but they carried a strong threat.

This enraged the First Emperor, who, without any further restraint, decisively unleashed the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to strike Hongjun.

"Brother, wait a minute!"

But at that moment, the Azure Dragon beside him suddenly pressed down on the Ancestral Dragon's hands.

Zu Long, puzzled, turned his head in surprise and asked, "Third brother, what's going on?"

"Brother! I have a way to have the best of both worlds. It can clear away the karmic threat posed by this old worm and also prevent our dragon clan from carrying any more karmic burdens in the future."

Hongjun: (o) What did he call me? It sounds so familiar!

Azure Dragon's words greatly pleased Ancestral Dragon, Candle Dragon, and countless other dragons.

Zhulong couldn't help but speak urgently, "Now that things have come to this, Third Brother, you must quickly reveal this method."

Qinglong nodded slightly.

But there was no joy in his eyes, only helplessness and sorrow. "Eldest brother, second brother."

"I believe you now understand that our dragon race cannot dominate the primordial world, for it is the consequence of our own evil deeds, and heaven and earth do not approve of it."

"Since we can no longer dominate the primordial world, our dragon race can only protect itself and find a way to survive."

"But it would be truly unacceptable for our Dragon Clan, who is already the number one race in the prehistoric world, to be forced to retreat from the prehistoric world along with the other two races."

"Therefore, in my opinion, since Fellow Daoist Hongjun wants the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, then our Dragon Clan should give this treasure to him as well."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Zhulong was immediately shocked. "Third brother, what kind of method is this? The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is a treasure for our dragon clan to make up for their karma. How can we give it to him?"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun stroked his beard with satisfaction, instantly forgetting the earlier insult about him being an "old eel," and said, "Fellow Daoist Qinglong, you see things clearly."

Azure Dragon did not reply to Candle Dragon, nor did it pay attention to Hongjun. Instead, it focused its deep gaze on its elder brother, Ancestral Dragon.

The two dragons exchanged glances, and the Ancestral Dragon seemed to understand something. He secretly transmitted his voice, "Third brother, do you mean that when you hand over this treasure, our dragon clan will also make up for our karma?"

Exactly!

Qingli confirmed the reply, "Brother, I will not lie to you, this method is not something I came up with on my own, but something I obtained after the two clans withdrew from the prehistoric world."

As for where it came from, I think you already have the answer in your heart.

After all, in this primordial world, there is only one person who can scheme against Hongjun and decide the fate of our Dragon Clan in the great calamity of heaven and earth!

However, after this matter is done, our dragon clan will have to rely on our second brother from now on.

These words stirred a sense of sorrow in the heart of the Ancestral Dragon, but more than that, they brought him joy. To be able to ensure the long-term survival of our dragon race and prevent our dragon race from being wiped out of the primordial world is a truly benevolent act!

Without this method, our Dragon Clan would have no choice but to lead the entire clan out of the prehistoric world under the threat of Hongjun's karma.

Third brother, if our dragon clan is to survive, we must have a dragon who respects him. This method should indeed be followed!

As for my second brother, I believe he will be able to manage our dragon clan well in the future!

I firmly believe it!

After discussing and communicating, both brothers turned their attention to Zhulong.

The look of deep concern in his brother's eyes made Zhulong's Dao Heart tremble. "Eldest brother, third brother, what's going on?"

Zulong suppressed his many complex emotions and smiled gently: "Second brother, from now on, my dragon clan is entrusted to you."

Before Zhulong could reply, Zulong's gentle gaze suddenly turned icy as he fixed it on Hongjun. "Hongjun!"

"Since you have asked me for the treasure of cause and effect, then I will give it to you!"

This news greatly pleased Hongjun, and just as he was about to receive the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, the Ancestral Dragon suddenly unleashed his power, declaring to all living beings in the primordial world: "I am the Ancestral Dragon, and now—"
