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

Chapter 113 The Dragon Clan Ultimately Returns to the Human Race! (Two Chapters Combined)

The Four Dragon Kings were not so easily subdued, and they did not entirely believe what Jiang Heng said.

But what can be done? Just as Jiang Heng said, the dragon race has no choice at all; there has always only been one path left for them.

As long as they don't want the dragon race to be completely wiped out, they will not easily give up as long as there is even a glimmer of hope.

Moreover, even if what Jiang Heng said wasn't entirely true, becoming a totem for the human race was indeed a way out for the dragon race.

The key lies in whether the dragons can truly bow their heads, and for the dragons now, do they have any other options?

With just a few words, he had the dragon race firmly under his control. In the eyes of the Four Seas Dragon Kings, Jiang Heng, the sovereign of the human race, had become increasingly unfathomable.

"Our human race can indeed help the dragon race solve its current predicament, but there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world!"

"The Dragon Clan must truly recognize reality. From now on, the Human Clan will be the master, and the Dragon Clan will be the servant. Are you all willing?" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

Jiang Heng did not give the dragon race many choices: either submit to the human race or perish.

Yes! Jiang Heng didn't prepare to give the dragons a chance to refuse. If the dragons remained arrogant, the human race would hunt them on the shores of the East Sea.

"Human Lord Rongbing, this matter is of great importance and cannot be decided by us alone. It will take some time to persuade all the dragons."

Furthermore, regarding the method to completely resolve the Sea Eye issue, we humbly request the Human Race's Supreme Ruler to offer his guidance!

The Dragon King of the East Sea looked somewhat helpless. Although he was the nominal leader of the dragon race, he could not decide all matters concerning the dragon race.

The Dragon King of the East Sea knew that the human race was the only hope for the dragon race at present, but so what? The other dragons simply couldn't understand.

If Jiang Heng's conditions are agreed to, most of the dragons will not understand and it will inevitably cause internal strife within the entire dragon race.

Moreover, the Four Dragon Kings still harbored some doubts about Jiang Heng's claim of completely resolving the hidden dangers of the sea eye.

It's no wonder the Four Dragon Kings were suspicious; completely eliminating the hidden dangers of the sea eye was truly as difficult as ascending to heaven.

The Dragon Clan has worked on this for hundreds of millions of years. Even the Ancestral Dragon, a peak Quasi-Saint, filled the sea eye, but still could not completely eliminate the hidden dangers of the sea eye.

Jiang Heng gave the Four Seas Dragon King a deep look. The dragons really don't act until they see a clear benefit.

Or, to put it another way, even the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas probably couldn't easily accept the fact that humans were superior to dragons.

"The sea eye is a hidden danger to the entire primordial world. It is indeed extremely difficult to suppress the sea eye, but there are two ways."

Firstly, naturally, we should ask a sage to intervene. With the sage's power, suppressing the sea eye and completely resolving its hidden dangers will be no problem!

The saint's holy power is boundless, even capable of recreating heaven and earth, and possessing the ability to refine earth, fire, water, and wind. Suppressing a mere sea eye would naturally be a piece of cake.

Upon hearing this, the Four Dragon Kings were about to say something when Jiang Heng spoke first, continuing:

"But asking a sage to take action is naturally as difficult as ascending to heaven, so let's not mention that method. Let's talk about the second method!"

The second method is to use the essence of ten thousand gold pieces to forge a pillar to suppress the sea, place it in the center of the four seas, and then gather the fortunes of both the human and dragon races. This would be able to suppress the sea eye forever!

These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue. The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas stared at Jiang Heng in disbelief, their faces filled with shock.

It's not that this method is particularly difficult; forging the Pillar of Suppressing the Sea with the essence of ten thousand gold pieces is actually not difficult for either the human race or the dragon race.

The key is to gather the fortunes of both the human and dragon races. Over millions of years, countless geniuses of the dragon race have come up with such an outlandish idea.

In fact, the dragon race couldn't have come up with this idea. After all, since the Dragon-Han Calamity, the dragon race's fortune had already been declining.

However, the dragon race's fortune has declined, while the human race's fortune is at its peak. In other words, Jiang Heng's method is entirely feasible.

It was only natural that the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were so excited. How many years had it been? The Dragon Clan had finally seen hope for complete liberation.

If the threat of the Sea Eye can be resolved in one fell swoop, the powerful members of the Dragon Clan will no longer need to suppress the Sea Eye one after another, and their growth and expansion will be a foreseeable outcome.

Compared to this, what does it matter to submit to the human race? The opposition of countless dragons? That's nothing.

"The Human Race's sovereign is indeed a genius of unparalleled talent. Such an incredible and unparalleled method will surely be able to solve the predicament of my Dragon Race in one fell swoop!" said the Dragon King of the East Sea.

"There's no rush. The dragons can discuss it at their leisure, while we humans have plenty of time!" Jiang Heng said calmly.

Not in a hurry? How could they not be in a hurry? Judging from the excited expressions on the faces of the Four Dragon Kings, they probably wished Jiang Heng would take action immediately.

But Jiang Heng was not in a hurry. For the human race, the dragon race was more of an added bonus than a necessity.

However, according to the future trend of Heaven, the Dragon Clan should submit to the Heavenly Court, thereby helping the Heavenly Court to prosper and become the true rulers of the Three Realms.

That's why Jiang Heng wouldn't give the dragons a choice. They had to either submit to the human race or be completely annihilated.

In this way, the Heavenly Court was outmaneuvered. It was as if the Heavenly Court had recouped some of the interest from its repeated interference in human affairs.

However, it is likely that the Jade Emperor Haotian is still completely unaware of what Jiang Heng's actions mean for the Heavenly Court.

The Four Dragon Kings exchanged a glance, understanding that the human race's ruler was dissatisfied with the dragon race's long-standing hesitation.

"We beg the Lord of Humanity to forgive us. We will surely be able to persuade all the dragons in a short time and will never let humanity down!" said the Dragon King of the East Sea.

The four Dragon Kings all knew that there was no time for hesitation; only by making a firm decision could the dragon race have a chance of survival.

"Three days! I'm only giving you three days. If the Dragon Clan still can't make a decision after three days, then there's no need to choose anymore!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas changed color once again, sensing something unusual in Jiang Heng's words.

The Dragon King of the East Sea, with a solemn expression, asked, "What exactly is the meaning behind the words of the Human Race's sovereign?"

"Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the king; on the shores of the land, all people are subjects of the king! In this primordial world, our human race is the absolute protagonist."

The dragon race occupies the four seas, and if they cannot submit to my human race, they will always be a hidden danger. As the sovereign of the human race, how can I ignore this?

Submit to our human race, and the two races will be as close as one family, resolving the dragon race's predicament! Refuse to submit to our human race, and the dragon race will face certain annihilation!

Jiang Heng stood proudly on the shore of the East Sea. When he spoke these words, his tone was so firm and his attitude so resolute that the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas dared not look him in the eye.

At this moment, in the eyes of the Four Dragon Kings, Jiang Heng was emanating an aura that defied description.

Jiang Heng was like a supreme deity, conveying his commands to the dragon race. If they disobeyed, the dragon race would suffer the wrath of the deity.

"Humans are indeed the protagonists of the world today, but in the words of the human sovereign, my dragon race seems to be something that can be wiped out with a flick of the finger. Isn't that a bit too arrogant?"

Although the Four Dragon Kings were intimidated by Jiang Heng's supreme aura, they quickly recovered and the West Sea Dragon King stepped forward and spoke.

The Four Dragon Kings never expected that Jiang Heng would be so domineering, threatening to annihilate the dragon race if they did not submit.

With the current strength of the human race, how could they possibly destroy the dragon race? Shouldn't it be the dragon race that destroys the human race?

As the overlords who have survived from ancient times to the present, when have the dragons ever been so looked down upon? Could it be that the dragons have been out of the world for so long that the human race has forgotten the dragons' former power?

Although they had already made up their minds, the Four Dragon Kings could not accept such a threat from Jiang Heng no matter what.

"Hahaha! You underestimate the human race and overestimate your dragon race! Do you still think the dragon race is the overlord it once was?"

In ancient times, even when facing the demon race that dominated the world, our human race was able to storm the Heavenly Court and engage in an unprecedented battle with the powerful demons.

"No matter how strong the Dragon Clan is, can they compare to the once-powerful Demon Clan? Of all the Dragon Clan members who have survived to this day, are there any Quasi-Saints still alive?" Jiang Heng said with extreme disdain.

When the witch and demon races dominated the world, the dragon race only dared to hide in the four seas and never dared to set foot in the primordial world.

Compared to the demon race of the past, the dragon race is nothing now. And the human race's strength is more than ten times greater than it was during the Lich War.

Despite the large number of Grand Luo Golden Immortals in the Dragon Clan, it would be no difficult task for Jiang Heng to wipe out the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas on his own.

"The Human Race's Lord's words are somewhat exaggerated. My Dragon Race truly has no more Quasi-Saint level experts."

But as far as I know, the human race's quasi-saint level experts seem to have all gone into seclusion in the Fire Cloud Cave, and are simply unable to attack my dragon race!

"My dragon race reigns supreme over the four seas, with hundreds of Great Luo Golden Immortals and countless Golden Immortals within our ranks. How could the human race possibly destroy my dragon race?" said the Dragon King of the East Sea.

The dragons were not entirely ignorant of the human race's situation. On the contrary, when deciding to hunt with the humans on the shores of the East Sea, the dragons thoroughly investigated the human race's background.

This is precisely why the dragon race has such confidence. Given their current strength, the dragon race has absolutely no fear of the human race.

"Alright! Since you want to see the strength of my human race, I'll show you, so you'll know the immensity of the world!" Jiang Heng said.

After Jiang Heng finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, and the Hetu Luoshu appeared above the East Sea, displaying the powerful aura of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

The Four Dragon Kings remained calm. The Hetu Luoshu, this innate spiritual treasure, was indeed powerful, but it did not move them.

As the overlords who once dominated the primordial world, the dragon race left behind a few treasures, though not many.

While it may not be comparable to the Hetu and Luoshu, with the combined strength of numerous dragons, it is not afraid of this top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Jiang Heng smiled dismissively. He certainly wouldn't think he could completely overwhelm the Dragon Clan just by relying on the Hetu and Luoshu. This time, he wanted to make the Dragon Clan fully realize reality.

Suddenly, a violent power surged from Jiang Heng's body, an unbelievable force that instantly changed the expression of the Four Seas Dragon Kings.

"Quasi-Saint? This is Quasi-Saint level power? How is this possible?"

The eyes of the Four Dragon Kings were filled with shock. They could never have imagined that the power of the human race's sovereign had reached such a level.

Despite having many questions in their hearts, the facts were undeniable, leaving the Four Dragon Kings with no choice but to believe them.

At this moment, the Four Dragon Kings realized that when Jiang Heng suppressed ten thousand dragons alone, he had not used his full strength at all.

Not only the Four Dragon Kings, but also the other dragons felt Jiang Heng's incredibly powerful strength and stared at him in shock.

Even some of the weaker dragons could no longer hold on and had already knelt on the ground under the suppression of Jiang Heng's powerful strength.

In fact, Jiang Heng's cultivation level had not reached the Quasi-Saint realm at all, but in terms of combat power, what difficulty would it be for Jiang Heng to reach the Quasi-Saint realm?

Moreover, Jiang Heng's display of quasi-saint level strength at this moment was not intended to intimidate the entire dragon race with his quasi-saint level strength.

To truly instill despair in the dragon race, a mere quasi-saint level expert is far from sufficient. What Jiang Heng desires is for the dragon race to completely submit to the human race.

With a wave of his hand, the shape of the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Era instantly appeared within the Hetu and Luoshu, and a vast aura soared into the sky, as a great formation slowly emerged.

"The dragon race has survived since ancient times. Could they possibly recognize what kind of formation this is?" Jiang Heng said loudly, looking at the horrified Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.

The four Dragon Kings of the Seas exchanged glances, each seeing a mixture of surprise and shock on their faces.

"Could this be the demon race's clan-protecting formation, the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Formation with unparalleled power?" the East Sea Dragon King asked in surprise and doubt.

"Indeed! This is the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Formation. Do the Four Seas Dragon Kings believe that with this formation, our human race can wipe out the Four Seas Dragon Clan?" Jiang Heng asked.

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, the faces of the Four Dragon Kings instantly turned dejected. At that moment, they all knew that the dragon race had been utterly defeated.

The Hunyuan Heluo Grand Formation is not only the clan-protecting formation of the demon race, but also one of the four most famous killing formations in the primordial world.

Legend has it that once the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Array is fully formed, it will possess unparalleled power, even comparable to the power of a sage.

No matter how strong the dragon race is, how can they compare to a sage? Jiang Heng is right. With this formation alone, it would be incredibly easy for the human race to annihilate the dragon race of the four seas.

At this moment, it is no longer a question of whether humans can help dragons get out of their predicament, but rather that dragons have no other choice.

If they submit to the human race, then everything will be fine. If they do not submit, the dragon race will immediately face the crisis of extinction.

Only then did the Four Dragon Kings realize that the human ruler before them was hunting their dragon race on the shores of the East Sea!

The moment the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Formation appeared, the Dragon Clan's defeat was inevitable, and there was no possibility of them struggling any longer.

"Please wait a moment, Lord of the Human Race. In three days, my Dragon Race will surely give the Human Race a satisfactory answer!" the Dragon King of the East Sea said in a deep voice.

Afterwards, the Four Dragon Kings bid farewell to Jiang Heng with extremely heavy hearts and returned to the Dragon Clan with solemn expressions.

Jiang Heng didn't care at all what the Four Seas Dragon Kings would do. He only gave the dragons three days; after three days, they had to make a choice.

When faced with a choice between survival and death, Jiang Heng believed that the dragons would make a wise choice.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas arrived as promised. The outcome was as expected: the dragons chose to survive.

Even if such survival means that the dragon race will have to submit to the human race, what does that matter compared to the complete annihilation of the dragon race?

The Four Dragon Kings came before Jiang Heng, completely lowering their once proud heads and kneeling on the ground, proclaiming loudly:

"From this day forward, the dragon race will submit to the human race, and the dragon race will surely protect the human race for generations to come!"

Jiang Heng nodded in satisfaction. For the dragon race, coercion alone would not work, but so would appeasement alone.

Only someone like Jiang Heng, wielding both a heavy stick and a carrot, can truly instill fear in the dragons while simultaneously offering them hope.

In this way, the dragons will be truly convinced and will no longer dare to harbor any unnecessary schemes.

"Good! From this day forward, the dragon race will be incorporated into the human race, becoming the totem beast of our human race, protecting the human race for generations, and suppressing the human race's destiny."

"Our human race will not mistreat the dragon race. From this day forward, the fates of humans and dragons are intertwined, and the dragon race will forever guard the four seas!"

Jiang Heng's voice resounded between heaven and earth. Countless dragons still had a hint of resentment in their eyes, but they all lowered their heads.

"Boom!"

Just as Jiang Heng finished speaking, the primordial world trembled, and four golden dragons rose from the four seas.

Four golden dragons coiled in the sky, emitting earth-shattering roars, before finally transforming into four golden dragon flags that fell into Jiang Heng's hands.

These four golden dragon flags are the symbol of the dragon race becoming the totem beast of the human race, and their power is even comparable to that of ordinary innate spiritual treasures.

Suddenly, the heavens trembled, and boundless merit descended from the nine heavens, falling upon the heads of the dragon clans of the four seas.

A look of surprise appeared on the faces of all the dragons. Such a huge amount of merit had never been seen by the dragons in hundreds of millions of years.

Under the shroud of boundless merit, wisps of black mist rose from the dragon's body, which was the boundless karma condensed on the dragon's body.

Under the cleansing influence of boundless merit, the karma on the dragon race is dissipating, which is exactly what the dragon race has been seeking for billions of years without success.

Countless dragons wept with joy, and the slight dissatisfaction in their hearts vanished at this moment.

The Four Dragon Kings were also filled with excitement. As leaders of the dragon race, they could sense that the dragon race's fortune was now connected with that of the human race.

This also means that from now on, as long as the human race does not perish, the dragon race will continue to receive the blessing of the human race's fortune.

In the primordial world today, the human race is the undisputed protagonist, and their fortune is a thousand times greater than that of the dragon race.

In other words, from this day forward, as long as the dragon race does not defy the human race, there will be no crisis of extinction. How could the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas not be excited?

As the boundless merit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao slowly dissipated, although the karma on the dragon race was not completely washed away, it was eliminated by 99%.

Although the remaining karma is still a bit troublesome, it can no longer have a significant impact on the dragon race.

The four Dragon Kings bowed down once more, saying in unison, "We are deeply grateful for the great kindness of the human race. Our dragon race will forever remember this kindness."

From this point on, the dragon race truly became part of the human race, not only becoming an inseparable part of the human race, but also becoming the totem beast of the human race.

After subduing the dragons, the human race naturally gained immense strength, and their position as the overlords of the world became unshakeable.

At the same time, subduing the dragon race greatly boosted the fortunes of the human race, and the human race's prosperity reached its peak.

This time, the dragon race returned to the human race. Such a great commotion naturally reached the attention of all the powerful beings in the entire prehistoric world.

The sages reside high in the Thirty-Three Heavens, and the rise of the human race is the natural order of things. Subduing the dragon race is only a matter of course.

Perhaps only Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao know that the Dragon Clan's return to the Human Clan was not part of their planned script.

However, with the Dragon Clan's return to the Human Clan already a foregone conclusion, what Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao thought had become irrelevant.

Now is the time when the human race is flourishing, and neither Dao Ancestor Hongjun nor the Heavenly Dao can suppress the human race at this time.

Of the six saints, perhaps only the two saints of the Western Sect were not happy to see the dragon race return to the human race.

As far as Jiang Heng knew, the Western Religion also harbored some lingering feelings for the dragon race. In later generations, the Eight Heavenly Dragons of the Western Religion were not merely for show.

However, before the Western Sect could even make a move against the Dragon Clan, the Human Clan beat them to it, leaving the two Sages of the Western Sect helpless.

In the Heavenly Court, it is said that on this day, a roar came from the Jade Emperor's Haotian Palace, the sound seemingly containing endless rage.

At this time, the Jade Emperor Haotian was naturally unaware that the Dragon Clan was supposed to return to the Heavenly Court in the future, but seeing the human race becoming increasingly powerful was enough to enrage him.

However, compared to the current human race, the Heavenly Court's strength is indeed somewhat lacking. Even if the Jade Emperor Haotian is furious, he can only suppress his anger.

After the dragons were incorporated into the human race, they sent their most skilled members to the human race to become their totem beasts.

Furthermore, to demonstrate the Dragon Clan's stance, they even sent out nine pure-blooded dragons to help Jiang Heng pull the carriage.

Jiang Heng was naturally very pleased with the dragons' tact and reluctantly accepted the generous gift they offered.

From this day forward, the nine-headed pure-blooded dragon race pulling the chariot will become the standard equipment for the future ruler of the human race.

Before parting, the Four Dragon Kings hesitated for a moment before asking Jiang Heng how to suppress the sea eye.

Just as Jiang Heng said, as long as the Dragon Clan exists in the Four Seas, they cannot ignore the existence of the hidden danger of the Sea Eye.

"Now is not the best time to completely suppress the sea eye!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

"Does the words of the Human Race's Sovereign suggest there's some hidden secret in suppressing the Sea Eye?" the Dragon King of the East Sea asked, quite puzzled.

"The great trend of Heaven is that the human race will prosper! When the human race prospers, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors will be born to lead the human race to develop and grow stronger!"

"The dragon race need not rush. Soon, an unparalleled genius will emerge, gathering the essence of ten thousand gold pieces to forge the Pillar of Suppression!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

With Jiang Heng's current abilities, he could certainly suppress the Sea Eye completely. But if Jiang Heng does everything, what's the point of having the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were not merely ordained by Heaven; for Jiang Heng, they will also be the key to his attainment of the Dao.

Therefore, Jiang Heng is not prepared to help the Dragon Clan suppress the Sea Eye now; this matter will be planned by the future Five Emperors.

Although the Four Dragon Kings wanted to suppress the sea eye once and for all, since Jiang Heng had already said so, they could only wait patiently.

Anyway, the dragon race has waited for hundreds of millions of years. Now that 99% of their karma has been eliminated, waiting a little longer is really nothing.

After subduing the dragon race, Jiang Heng led the human race's powerful warriors back to the human realm. After that, Jiang Heng began his secluded cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Heng had been on the throne for a full 36,000 years, and it was time for him to achieve his goal.
