The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Amidst the clouds and mist, on a narrow white jade platform, a man and a dragon appear to be laughing in unison.

Baxia said, "Daoist Lord, you are truly wise; I admire you."

Luo Zu flicked his sleeves, dispersing the white clouds that were moving without a trace around him, and then said with a smile, "It's really because you all didn't try to hide it. The traces were too conspicuous for me to miss."

Baxia paused for a moment, then nodded: "What does Daoist Lord think of this East Sea mirage?"

Luo Zu looked down and took in the mirage in the East China Sea, which spanned eighteen light-years.

It's neither too big nor too small, just big enough to fit a dozen or twenty solar systems.

"Not bad," Luo Zu replied, seemingly unconcerned.

Overall, however, Luo Zu disagreed.

If you really want a higher evaluation, it needs to be refined into a spiritual treasure before Luo Zufang will give it a high evaluation.

Baxia was not very satisfied with this evaluation. After all, the focus of the East Sea Market was not the process of sword practice and weapon forging, but the ingenious arrangement and the gathering of various independent cultivators.

The city is extremely large, containing over a hundred billion independent cultivators, but most of them have low cultivation levels and their abilities vary greatly. Some of them have even just begun their Qi cultivation and were brought here by their sects for training.

Baxia's goal for this East Sea city is to have over a billion independent cultivators enter it.

This number is even greater than that of the Jie Sect.

But how should we accommodate so many cultivators?

What enormous amount of resources do they need for their spiritual practice?

Well, these are no big deal for the dragons. Perhaps some Taiyi might have some trouble, but the East Sea Dragon Palace can easily handle them.

They are incredibly wealthy, with countless treasures hidden in their Dragon Palace, but no one dares to covet them, after all, the Dragon King and Dragon God of the East Sea Dragon Palace are no pushovers.

"I wonder if you would be willing to add another splendid touch to the East China Sea market?" Baxia then asked.

Well, it seems they're here to attract investment.

Luo Zu understood.

There are many works by powerful figures of the Jie Sect in this East Sea mirage, not only Zhao Gongming's "Sea-Stabilizing Pearl", but also Duobao Daoren's "Duobao Workshop", Jinling Shengmu's "Seven Fragrance Cart", and so on.

In short, many disciples of the Jie Sect participated in this, since this area could be considered the Jie Sect's private territory.

The Dragon Palace of the East Sea had no choice but to cooperate with them, rather than domineeringly monopolize them.

But now they want to invite Luo Zu, this outsider and idle person, to join, which is quite intriguing.

"What do you want to do?" Specifically, what do the dragons want to do?

To restore the glory of our ancestors?

Even if we summoned all three clans of dragons, phoenixes, and qilin from the past, it probably wouldn't be enough to defeat the current demon race.

Not everyone is Pangu; the combined power of the twelve Ancestral Witches can rival a Quasi-Saint of Hunyuan.

The version featuring the dragon, phoenix, and qilin vying for supremacy is clearly outdated.

Even if the legendary Three Sovereigns were to arrive, it would only be a matter of the demons calling me old and weak, followed by the village children taking advantage of my age and weakness, making me unable to be happy.

The three ancient emperors were killed by the three demon emperors with elbow strikes.

"It's just to protect myself," Baxia said with a wry smile.

"What do the demons want you to do?" Luo Zu asked curiously.

Baxia shook his head: "Not a demon."

"The Witch Clan?" This was even more baffling. In the past, it was always the Demon Clan that forced the Dragon Clan to take sides. Why was it the Witch Clan's turn this time?

The dragon race was being served by the two great primordial overlords, the witch and the demon race, in turn, making their lives unbearable.

"The Ancestral Witch Gonggong wants us, the dragons of the four seas, to be his subjects, and he also wants to occupy the sea eyes of the four seas to cultivate the Dao." Baxia's ferocious face was full of sorrow.

The actions of Gonggong, the ancestral witch, are truly baffling... what a load of rubbish.

This person might just be obsessed with proving the Primordial Chaos.

Who doesn't know that Gonggong, the ancestral sorcerer, is the ancestral sorcerer of water? Then who doesn't know that He wanted to use the element of water to prove the Dao of Hunyuan?

Since this secret is common knowledge, would the demon race allow Him to cause such a big fuss?

The dragons couldn't agree to this either, which is why this "resistance" occurred.

The East Sea Sea Market, with the Jie Sect as a shareholder, and the hundreds of millions of scattered cultivators, will fight against Gonggong and the witch clan behind him to protect their "ancestral property".

Moreover, the Four Seas Dragon Clan is sure to have more than just this one East Sea Market; there are many other things they do that involve befriending various forces.

Luo Zu's thoughts shifted. Fighting against the Wu Clan was not an easy task. As the prehistoric world had developed to this point, the Wu and Yao clans had dominated the world and were bound to form alliances with various forces, with each having their own interests intertwined with the others.

Just like Luo Zu's Upper Caveman tribe once lived under the protection of the Wu tribe, he now has a part-time job in the Netherworld Yellow Springs opened up by Hou Tu Niangniang, but he doesn't hold a position in the Heavenly Court, and there are even grudges between them.

Now the East Sea Dragon Clan wants him to cooperate with them to fight against the Witch Clan, which is really difficult for him.

After thinking for a while, Luo Zu said, "With so many people supporting you, you don't need me, right?"

Baxia chuckled and said, "When facing the Wu Clan, the more friends the better."

Luo Zu nodded: "I wonder what kind of support the East Sea Dragon Palace can offer me? And what kind of support do they need from me?"

Baxia replied without hesitation, "The Dragon Palace can help Daojun spread the Primordial Spirit Technique throughout the Four Seas and facilitate the development of the human race in the Four Seas."

"The Primordial Spirit Technique can spread naturally, so why does it need the Dragon Palace's help? The human race has not yet left the prehistoric world, so why should it expand to the four seas?" Ancestor Luo shook his head repeatedly, clearly not satisfied with the conditions offered by the Dragon Clan.

Baxia, seeing this, did not show any sign of distress. He was just afraid that there would be no room for negotiation, and it would be best if there was a way to negotiate.

The dragons are truly unafraid to negotiate; what conditions can't they offer?

"Didn't the Ancestral Witch Gonggong negotiate with you?" Luo Zu then asked.

Or perhaps they simply don't bother to talk about it.

But that's impossible. After all, these are dragons. To try to take over the four seas without first having peaceful talks would be too much of a bullying of dragons.

"We talked about it, but... it was impossible to talk about it," Baxia said with a wry smile.

It seems that even dragons can't give everything.

That's normal. Even the Dragon Clan doesn't have a Primordial Chaos.

"How could Gonggong, the Ancestral Witch, be so utterly intolerant?" Luo Zu asked.

"In the past, the Heavenly Court also wanted us to join the demon race, but we refused. Later, they wanted us to join the Heavenly Court, but we still refused. Now, the Ancestral Witch Gonggong wants us to become vassals of the Witch Clan and give up the four seas. How can we agree to this?" Baxia's face showed a bitter expression.

Luo Zu nodded. The logic was sound, and the facts were clear. The Four Seas Dragon Clan had its own principles and would never refuse the Demon Clan while agreeing to the Witch Clan's request.

"If it's just the Witch Clan and the Dragon Clan cooperating, that's fine, but giving up the Four Seas is absolutely unacceptable." This is the ancestral property of the Dragon Clan, and it's impossible to give it up.

"No wonder I saw calamity rising over the four seas," Luo Zu thought to himself.

The ancestral witch Gonggong is about to wage an unjust war.

What is injustice? It is simply losing the hearts of the people.

Now, the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas is trying to win over the hearts of all sides, and has even befriended the Jie Sect. The Witch Clan, therefore, is standing on the opposite side of morality. (End of Chapter)
