I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

At the request of the Ancestor of Earth Dragons, everyone present left the cave, giving the father and daughter enough private space to catch up.

Before leaving, the Dragon Emperor looked at the Ancestor of Earth Dragons with some hesitation, but after seeing the Ancestor of Earth Dragons shake his head at him, the Dragon Emperor could only helplessly become the tour guide for Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi.

Xu Xingyu saw the Dragon Emperor's worries, so after leaving the cave, she took the initiative to say, "Dragon Emperor, you don't need to worry about the Ancestor of Earth Dragons. As long as Lin'er is still here, he won't do anything foolish."

"You know?" The Dragon Emperor looked at Xu Xingyu with some surprise.

Xu Xingyu glanced at the Dragon Emperor, then looked again in the direction of the Earth Dragon Ancestor Yu Yalin'er and said, "For such a devoted person, once the emotional knot is untied, it is common to do something like die for their partner, especially when the love reaches the level of the Earth Dragon Ancestor."

"However, unlike those who truly have no attachments, the Ancestor of the Earth Dragons still has his daughter, Yalin'er, as a bond. Before I left, I also conveyed the Ancestor of the Earth Dragons' intention to commit suicide for love to Yalin'er, and also told her how to stop him. Therefore, as long as Yalin'er is alive, the Ancestor of the Earth Dragons will not do such an irrational thing as committing suicide for love."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Emperor was still somewhat uneasy. After all, although Yalin'er possessed the bloodline of the Ancestor of Earth Dragons, the progenitor of dragons, and had a lifespan far exceeding that of normal humans, it was still not enough compared to the pure-blooded giants like them.

Once Yalin'er passes away due to the expiration of her lifespan, the Ancestor of the Earth Dragons will have no more ties, and therefore may once again consider committing suicide for love.

It's important to understand that the reason the dragon race has never been conquered by the five great human empires is because of the two Saint-level powerhouses, the Ancestor of Earth Dragons and the Dragon Emperor. If either of them were lost, the dragon race would be in a slightly passive position.

At that time, humanity may not be satisfied with simply passing the test to obtain a dragon mount, but will want to make the dragons vassals of their five great empires.

Don't say they wouldn't do something so foolish. Based on the Dragon Emperor's observation of humanity over tens of thousands of years, they are absolutely capable of such a crazy thing. Otherwise, the five great empires wouldn't have been constantly at war with each other to expand their territories. It was only because of the existence of the Dark Five Elements Continent that they had quieted down for a while in recent years.

If the threat from the Dark Five Elements Continent were to disappear one day, then after these five great nations divided up the Dark Five Elements Continent, they would return to the days of fighting with other empires. Once this war started, their dragon race would be even less able to escape, after all, the Three Harmony Mountains covered an area that was too large.

Therefore, in order to avoid being implicated, the Dragon Clan needs multiple powerful individuals with absolute strength. The Dragon Emperor alone cannot intimidate the entire human race of the Five Elements Continent.

This is why the Dragon Emperor was always worried about the safety of the Ancestor of Earth Dragons. In his view, the Ancestor of Earth Dragons was the last hope of the Dragon Clan. If the Dragon Clan lost him, the Dragon Emperor, as long as the Ancestor of Earth Dragons was still there, the Dragon Clan would always be able to preserve some of their bloodline.

Xu Xingyu simply replied, "Don't worry, you don't need to worry about Lin'er's lifespan. In some ways, she might even outlive you in the future. As for your concerns about the prosperity of the Dragon Clan, that's exactly what I'm here to address."

Hearing Xu Xingyu's words, the Dragon Emperor was somewhat incredulous, but with his experience, he had already vaguely guessed Xu Xingyu's thoughts. There was only one way to make a half-dragon live longer than them, the true dragons. Could it be that Xu Xingyu believed that Yalin'er would inevitably reach that point in the future?

"If what the inheritor says is true, then I thank the inheritor in advance for everything he has done for our Five Elements lineage," the Dragon Emperor said solemnly, clasping his hands in a fist and bowing.

If the Dragon Emperor's previous respect for Xu Xingyu was purely based on his status as the inheritor of the Dragon God and his strength, then the Dragon Emperor's respect now comes from the bottom of his heart.

In his view, if Yalin'er could really break through to that level in the future, then even if the Ancestor of Earth Dragons died for love, as long as Yalin'er was willing to side with the Dragon Clan, then the problem he had always been worried about would be completely solved!

"No need to thank me, it's my duty."

Xu Xingyu felt a little embarrassed looking at the Dragon Emperor. He knew that the reason he was so sure that Ya Lin'er would be safe was simply because he had met "A Jin" in Douluo Dragon Valley, who was the future Ya Lin'er.

However, judging from the Dragon Emperor's respectful attitude towards him, it seems that he has done a pretty good job and has completely won over the Dragon Emperor's heart.

Gu Qiuxi could see Xu Xingyu's embarrassment, but she didn't say anything. After all, no normal person would believe that she had seen her future self. Even for a god, it would be extremely difficult to make such a cross-dimensional time travel.

To be honest, Gu Qiuxi still finds it hard to believe that the future Yalin'er could send them back to the Five Elements Plane ten thousand years ago. Even with the help of the new generation Time Dragon King and the Starry Sky Mirror, it is still unbelievable that she could achieve this level of time travel.

If Gu Qiuxi, a firsthand witness, could have such a feeling, then those who hadn't experienced it would be even less likely to believe it. Therefore, she was quite agreeable with Xu Xingyu's somewhat vague explanation. As for the remaining shortcomings, she could let the Dragon Emperor handle them in Dihua on his own.

While the Riddler can be troublesome, that only happens when the Riddler isn't you.

Having gained more faith in Xu Xingyu, the Dragon Emperor began to recount the problems that had plagued their dragon race in recent years, so that Xu Xingyu could be mentally prepared.

It turns out that recently, a small world of unknown origin connected to the Dragon Tomb of their Bright Five Elements Dragon Clan, and then, quite strangely, it absorbed the dragon corpses of their buried dragon ancestors.

As each dragon corpse absorbed by that small world, its connection with the Sanhe Mountains deepened. If the Dragon Emperor hadn't intervened to forcibly sever the connection, this small world would have eventually merged with the Sanhe Mountains.

Because that small world was very sealed off, even if the Dragon Emperor and the others wanted to explore its interior, they could not enter it. Therefore, they could only strengthen the seal every once in a while to prevent fusion from happening, and at the same time send people to ensure that the tombs of their ancestors were not disturbed.

After listening to the Dragon Emperor's description, Xu Xingyu looked at the token that the so-called sacrificial artifact had turned into and had some ideas in her mind. But just as Xu Xingyu was about to say that she understood and that she should leave the rest to her, the Dragon Emperor spoke again.

"Although it may be offensive to the inheritor, before you resolve this matter, I have a favor to ask. Could you please rescue my daughter first?"
