Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 112 Completely Controlling the Dragon Clan!

"Ao Guang, Dragon King of the East Sea! I have met the sovereign of the human race!"

"Ao Qin, Dragon King of the South Sea! I have met the sovereign of the human race!"

"Dragon King of the West Sea, Ao Run! We have met the sovereign of the human race!"

"North Sea Dragon King, Ao Shun! I have met the sovereign of the human race!"

Among the dragons, four giant dragons transformed into human form, emerged from among the thousands of dragons, and came before Jiang Heng, respectfully saying...

These four dragon clans are the current Four Seas Dragon Kings, or the leaders of the dragon clans, with Ao Guang, the East Sea Dragon King, being the leader among them.

At this moment, the Four Dragon Kings did not display much of the arrogance of the dragon race in front of Jiang Heng; instead, they appeared quite respectful.

This is naturally because Jiang Heng just suppressed ten thousand dragons by himself. No matter where you are, the strong will always be respected, and Jiang Heng is undoubtedly a top expert.

Jiang Heng looked at the Four Seas Dragon Kings, and sure enough! How could the Four Seas Dragon Kings be weak if they could become the leaders of the dragon race?

The four Dragon Kings before us are all at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Among them, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, is even a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal.

With such strength, to be humiliated by a monkey in the Journey to the West: how fake that whole thing really was.

Perhaps, in the entire Journey to the West, only that monkey was completely ignorant, which is why he acted so lawlessly.

"Today, we are hunting with the Dragon Clan on the shores of the East Sea so that the human and dragon races can coexist peacefully and develop together!" Jiang Heng said loudly.

Having already flexed his muscles, it was time to say something useful. Jiang Heng knew perfectly well what the dragons wanted.

The dragons had already guessed what the human race wanted. But upon seeing Jiang Heng, the ruler of the human race, the four dragon kings hesitated.

With such a powerful ruler, what the human race desires is certainly not ordinary. Without a clear understanding of the human race's true nature, how could the dragon race dare to make a decision so easily?

"What the Human Race's Lord says is quite right. The Human and Dragon Races should help each other. This time, Yinglong's journey to assist the Human Race's Lord in attaining enlightenment is a testament to the Dragon Race's sincerity."

"From now on, whenever the human race needs our help, my dragon race will be more than happy to lend a hand!" the Dragon King of the East Sea said with a smile.

The Dragon King of the East Sea must be a rare sage among the dragons, otherwise he would not have been able to become the head of the four dragon kings and the apparent leader of the dragon race.

The Dragon King of the East Sea's words were not only quite polite, but also seemed to promise a lot of things. However, upon closer inspection, they were essentially nothing.

By offering assistance to the human race, the dragons naturally sought to accumulate merit. Under the prevailing laws of Heaven, gaining merit among the human race is not actually difficult.

But Jiang Heng wanted more than just the help of the Dragon Clan. He wanted much more, far exceeding the Dragon Clan's expectations.

"Although the human and dragon races can develop together, there must be a distinction between primary and secondary roles, with the human race as the primary one and the dragon race as the secondary one!" Jiang Heng said loudly.

Jiang Heng was too lazy to beat around the bush with the dragons. This time, he was not here to waste time hunting with the dragons on the shore of the East Sea.

Upon hearing Jiang Heng's words, the Four Dragon Kings' expressions changed instantly. The East Sea Dragon King asked in a deep voice, "What exactly is the meaning behind the words of the Human Race's sovereign?"

From the moment they met Jiang Heng, the Four Dragon Kings realized something was wrong, but they never expected Jiang Heng to be so aggressive towards them.

"Our human race has no demands on the dragon race, but the dragon race has demands on our human race. So it is obvious who is in charge and who is secondary!"

"As the saying goes, 'Without rules, there can be no order.' Since the Dragon Clan has a request from our Human Clan, we must naturally establish rules regarding primary and secondary matters!" Jiang Heng said.

At this moment, the Dragon King of the East Sea looked somewhat uneasy, perhaps because Jiang Heng had hit the nail on the head.

"Human Lord, you jest! My dragon race has lived in the four seas for hundreds of millions of years, how could we possibly need anything from humans?" said the Dragon King of the East Sea.

In any case, the Dragon King of the East Sea could not admit it, because that would undoubtedly be an active exposure of the dragon race's weakness.

"I once told Yinglong that since the Dragon-Han Great Calamity, the Dragon Clan has been burdened with endless karma, which is why they must forever suppress the Eye of the Sea."

"For billions of years, countless powerful dragons have died trying to suppress the Sea Eye. Do you think I made this up out of thin air?" Jiang Heng said with a cold laugh.

Did the Dragon Clan still want to hide it? Jiang Heng, however, chose to ruthlessly tear open the Dragon Clan's wounds, directly exposing their greatest weakness.

The Four Dragon Kings exchanged glances, utterly bewildered as to how this so-called human ruler knew of this matter.

The fact that the dragons eternally guard the sea eye is known only to powerful beings who have survived from ancient times, and this does not include the human race.

Moreover, the Eternal Sea Eye caused heavy losses to the dragon clan's experts, which is a top secret of the dragon clan, and very few dragons know about it.

But the human race's so-called leader spoke with such certainty as if he had personally witnessed the terrible price the dragons paid to suppress the sea eye.

With a helpless sigh, the Dragon King of the East Sea still spoke up: "As expected of the human race's sovereign, my dragon race has indeed suffered the pain of being suppressed by the sea eye."

Since the end of the Dragon-Han Great Calamity, countless Dragon Clan Grand Luo Golden Immortals have died while suppressing the Sea Eye!

Unfortunately, the karma on my dragon race shows no sign of diminishing, and I have no idea how much longer my dragon race will have to suppress the sea eye!

The Dragon King of the East Sea was also helpless. The human ruler in front of him had seen through the dragon clan's trump cards, and the dragon clan had few options left.

"Suppressing the sea eye is naturally not easy. Over time, it is already remarkable that the dragon race has maintained its current strength!"

"But there is a solution to this problem, it just depends on what price the dragon race is willing to pay!" Jiang Heng said.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas all showed expressions of shock. The Dragon Clan had been working tirelessly for hundreds of millions of years to resolve the issue of suppressing the Sea Eye.

Countless powerful dragons tried, and countless wise dragons pondered the matter carefully, but without exception, all of them failed.

The dragon race has paid a heavy price for suppressing the sea eye for billions of years. Otherwise, their strength would not have dwindled to its current level.

As the dragon race weakens, suppressing the sea eye becomes increasingly difficult, creating a vicious cycle.

This is why the dragon race turned its attention to the human race, hoping to alleviate the dragon race's karma through the merits of the human race.

However, this is only a temporary solution. As long as karma exists, the dragon race will never be able to truly escape the bitter consequences of suppressing the sea eye.

The four Dragon Kings all knew in their hearts that one day, the dragon race would be unable to hold on any longer. That would be the time of the dragon race's demise.

Now, the human sovereign before them actually claims to have a way to solve the dragon race's predicament. How could this not surprise the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas?

"Is this true?" the Dragon King of the East Sea asked impatiently.

"That's no exaggeration!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

The fish has taken the bait. From this moment on, the one who holds the initiative will be Jiang Heng, not the dragon.

Furthermore, as long as he grasped the dragon race's Achilles' heel, the dragon race became something that Jiang Heng could manipulate at will.

The Four Dragon Kings exchanged another glance, then bowed deeply to Jiang Heng and said in a deep voice, "We humbly request the Human Race's Lord to offer his guidance!"

Seeing that the Four Dragon Kings had lowered their stance so much, Jiang Heng nodded in satisfaction. This was how one should act when seeking help from the human race.

"Solving the dragons' predicament is both difficult and relatively easy. In general, the dragons have two paths to take."

"Firstly, as long as the dragons can accumulate immeasurable merit to cleanse their karma, they will naturally be able to escape their predicament once the karma is eliminated!" Jiang Heng said.

The Dragon King of the East Sea sighed and said, "My dragon clan has thought of this method before, but the amount of karma on my dragon clan is simply unimaginable."

The merit required to completely cleanse my dragon race of karma is unimaginable, and there is almost no hope of success.

If possible, please, Lord of Humanity, tell us about the second method!

The dragon race has considered using merit to cleanse itself of karma, and has even put it into practice. Otherwise, Yinglong would not have come to the human race.

However, as mentioned above, this is only a temporary solution and cannot fundamentally resolve the dragon race's predicament.

"Hahaha! You're right. Following your dragon clan's method of accumulating merit bit by bit, the chances of success are naturally slim."

"But for my human race, it's not difficult for your dragon race to have the merit of washing away karma!" Jiang Heng said.

The Four Dragon Kings exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with doubt. Countless dragons had failed to devise a solution; was it truly so simple against humans?

"It's not that we don't believe what the Human Race's Lord just said, but it's just that our Dragon Race has been pondering this for hundreds of millions of years in order to gain merit."

"Acquiring merit is harder than ascending to heaven, let alone the immense amount of merit my dragon clan needs!" The Dragon King of the East Sea said hesitantly.

"You should know that the human race is now the protagonist of heaven and earth, favored by the heavenly way, and born with boundless fortune."

If the dragon race could be incorporated into the human race and become the totem of our human race, protecting the human race for generations, wouldn't you say that the dragon race is following the trend of the heavens?

"By following the general trend of Heaven and helping the human race to prosper, and with the human race's fortune converging, will Heaven bestow boundless merit upon us?" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Four Dragon Kings were once again taken aback. Although they didn't want to admit it, they knew that Jiang Heng was absolutely right.

In this primordial world, any powerful being with some insight can see that the human race is the protagonist of the world, favored by the Heavenly Dao.

As long as it helps humanity prosper, it's only natural that Heaven would bestow merit upon them.

Moreover, what Jiang Heng just said was about making the dragon race the totem of the human race, protecting the human race for generations. This would be an earth-shattering event.

Once this matter is accomplished, the Four Dragon Kings have no doubt that Heaven will bestow boundless merit, and it is not impossible that the dragon race's karma will be washed away in one fell swoop.

However, if the dragons were to be incorporated into the human race, it would mean that the dragons would be subordinate to the human race from then on. How could the proud and arrogant dragons accept this?

After pondering for a long time, the Dragon King of the East Sea spoke first, saying, "We would like to ask the ruler of the human race to propose a second method!"

Jiang Heng smiled without saying a word, understanding in his heart that the dragon race was still somewhat unwilling to submit to the human race.

Jiang Heng didn't take it to heart. Although he said there were two ways to solve the dragon race's predicament, the dragon race only had one choice.

"The second solution is, of course, to completely eliminate the threat of the sea eye. Without the sea eye, the dragon race will no longer need to suppress it."

"At that time, Heaven will still bestow boundless merit to wash away the karma on the dragon race, which will not be difficult at all!" Jiang Heng said.

Upon hearing Jiang Heng's words, the four Dragon Kings of the Seas all sighed helplessly and shook their heads in unison.

Compared to the first method, the second method is undoubtedly more difficult for the dragons, and it can even be said that there is absolutely no hope of success.

The calamity of the sea eye originated at the very beginning of creation and is a hidden danger that has always existed in the primordial world. It is not so easy to solve.

Beneath that sea eye lies the endless void, and unless a saint intervenes, even a peak quasi-saint would find it difficult to shake the sea eye in the slightest.

Since the Great Calamity of the Dragon-Han Dynasty, countless powerful dragons have followed one after another, only able to strengthen the seal of the Sea Eye by sacrificing themselves.

In this day and age, let alone completely suppressing the sea eye, even the seals on many sea eyes have become somewhat unreliable.

Therefore, the Four Dragon Kings had absolutely no hope for Jiang Heng's proposed solution to completely resolve the calamity of the Sea Eye.

"In this way, only one path remains for my dragon race. But this matter is of utmost importance, so please grant my dragon race some time!"

After pondering for a while, the Four Dragon Kings still couldn't make up their minds, so they could only say this to Jiang Heng.

"This matter is not urgent, but there is one thing that your dragon race has misunderstood. Solving the dragon race's predicament does not mean that the dragon race can rest easy."

"You don't really think that once the dragons have their karma washed away, they can just ignore the Sea Eye, do you?" Jiang Heng said.

The Four Dragon Kings' hearts skipped a beat, and at the same time, a certain possibility occurred to them, and their faces showed horror.

The Dragon King of the East Sea bowed deeply to Jiang Heng once more and said in a deep voice, "Does the meaning of the sovereign of the human race perhaps mean something else?"

"If the Dragon Clan no longer suppresses the Sea Eye, it will surely tremble. At that time, the entire world will be plunged into boundless calamity!"

The Four Seas are the homeland where the dragons have lived for hundreds of millions of years. In order to survive, the dragons must completely abandon the Four Seas.

"Besides, once the sea eye is shaken, this debt will probably ultimately be settled with the dragon race!" Jiang Heng said.

The four Dragon Kings sighed in unison. It was precisely because they understood this that they had shown such shocked expressions.

Since the Great Calamity of the Dragon and Han Dynasties, the Dragon Clan has lived in the Four Seas, which is not only their home but also their foundation.

It is precisely because they rule over billions of aquatic creatures that the dragon race has been able to retain its current strength from ancient times to the present day.

If the sea eye were to tremble, the dragon race would have to completely abandon the four seas. Otherwise, they would be the first to suffer boundless calamity.

However, abandoning the Four Seas, their homeland, would be an unbearable price for the Dragon Clan today.

Moreover, just as Jiang Heng said, once the sea eye is shaken, it will inevitably cause boundless disasters. At that time, the dragon race will likely be burdened with karmic debts once again.

The Four Dragon Kings exchanged glances, realizing that in the eyes of this human ruler, the dragon race was likely nothing more than meat on a chopping block.

Just as the human race's supreme ruler said, if the dragon race wants to get out of its current predicament, it will inevitably have to ask the human race for help.

"We beg the Human Lord to save my Dragon Clan!"

At this moment, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas completely lowered their once proud heads.
