"Okay." The Fire Chaser nodded and stood up. Each step he took covered a thousand meters, leaving behind a pair of burning footprints.

He passed through the broken Dragon City and saw hundreds of dragons sleeping in the deep sea, even ignoring the sea monsters swimming by.

Except for the occasional lucky ones who can escape from the Eye of the Abyss, most will be crushed by the tides outside, or simply pulled back by the golden chains.

The dragon clan is just passive and lazy, no wonder there are more and more escaped sea monsters in the Abyss Castle. But if you stand in this Dragon City and look up, you will only feel creepy.

Tens of thousands of golden chains were swaying, each stretched to its limit, binding up bizarre-looking sea monsters. The dragons were too lazy to pay attention to them. The sea monsters had a chance to escape, but they couldn't even get out of the Eye of the Abyss.

"It's all in vain. There's no fairness in this world."

The Fire Chaser lowered his head. All the chains were connected to a trident, which was the artifact of Titus, the god of the sea. It was about a kilometer long and was nailed in the center of Dragon City like Optimus Prime.

This was once the dragon's temple and the Dragon God's square, but it has become the center of a prison, which is both cruel and blasphemous.

There are some huge figures next to the trident, similar to the previous dragons, all with slender bodies, but the one in the middle has three dragon heads.

The current Dragon King, Mina Tirith.

It is covered with black scales, and its three heads control authority, power and fear respectively. Beside it are three two-headed dragons with white, red and purple scales respectively. This is the second layer under the pyramid, the three dragon generals under the king.

These four dragons don't seem to be of the same species as other dragons. Their most notable feature is their huge wings, but they obviously have no place to fly in the deep sea.

The Fire Chasers were not interested. No matter how strong they were, they were still prisoners. They had fought the sea monsters to the death and had also studied countless ways to escape.

But without the mercy of the gods and without finding any opportunities, he simply gave up.

He was more curious about a short figure that exuded a completely different aura.

God?

This is a rare thing. The gods have not been to the Eye of the Abyss for a long time. Although there is no threat to life, no one likes to be in a hostile environment. Who knows whether these resentful dragons will let down their defenses and use the sea demons to kill the gods.

"Sir Fire Chaser, this is Morgaus, the 'God of Shadows.'" One of the Dragon King's heads roared, shaking the water ripples.

The fire chaser said nothing, turned his head and saw that the newcomer was handsome, with black hair like a waterfall, but also had a pair of long and narrow horns and pointed ears.

The demons become gods?

The seabed is isolated from information, but it is not completely ignorant of the outside world. The Great Hunt has been going on for ten years, and it probably knows that the gods have gone mad and started to destroy the order they established.

The Dragon Clan doesn’t know the reason, nor does it want to know, but as long as the God Clan is in chaos, the opportunity will come.

But this person...

Very strange.

The Fire Chaser narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person repeatedly, which was very impolite.

"Sir." Morgas nodded slightly, his voice soft, and he had already told the recent events, which were almost the same as what the dragon clan knew.

The Great Hunt indiscriminately hunts down demons everywhere. The death of the rabbit makes the fox mourn. The gods who come from the demon clan will definitely resist. Morgas comes here just to cooperate.

"No, the God of the Sky has been too permissive with you." The Fire Chaser didn't know how to greet people and asked right away.

"It's not that I'm letting him go. In fact, it took me a lot of effort to reach the Eye of the Abyss. Gods cannot fight against each other. This is an iron law." The black-haired man was very calm and shook his head. "This law may not be reliable, but He is not free to deal with us right now."

"You want to cooperate with the dragon clan and fight together?"

"Yes."

"How can we cooperate? You can escape, but the dragons can't. If we attract the enemy, we'll all be wiped out."

More than a dozen giant dragons looked sideways. This was the fundamental problem. As the saying goes, the monk can run away but the temple cannot. They couldn't even run away from the temple.

Giving up is the biggest protest.

"I know, but in order to resist, we need the power of the dragon clan. I will not involve the dragon clan, at least not now."

"You want us to turn a blind eye?" The Dragon King lowered his huge head. He wanted freedom but didn't want to take any risks. He immediately understood what this guy wanted to do.

Sea monsters are their kind, and their powers are more complete.

"No, the contract requires the dragons to guard the sea monsters. If they escape, the dragons will be implicated. Besides, they can't escape in large numbers."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty Minatiris. The conflict has reached a critical point. All the demons and all the gods born from the demons will rise up together and turn the world upside down." Morgause growled, with a tragic feeling that he had to do it.

"The Dragon Clan can be spectators. The greater the losses of the God Clan, the more they will need you. Then we can negotiate terms."

There is some truth to this. Let the demons stir up trouble, let them fight each other. As long as the commotion is big enough, who would dare to hold those responsible for poor supervision accountable? If it gets more exaggerated, they might even ask the dragons to join in the rebellion.

We can negotiate terms later. Anyway, the dragon clan doesn't want much. They just want us to get out of this damn place. It would be best if all the sea monsters are killed as well, so that we don't have to go to jail together in the future.

"Why? We take the benefits and you bear the risks. Is there such a good thing in the world?"

"I don't want to either, but if this continues, the demons will be extinct." Morgaus sighed helplessly. "The demons are scattered and filled with the gods' lackeys. They don't have much resistance left. The sea demons are necessary. I can't possibly be hostile to you and forcibly liberate them."

It makes more sense. They are already weak against strong, and if the dragon clan is added to the mix, then they are courting death.

It's a very stupid, but helpless plan. If the demons don't fight now, they won't have the capital to fight in the future. The best thing is that the dragons don't have to do anything and just sit back and reap the benefits.

"Alright, I admit you're helpless, and the dragons don't want to get involved in your feud." The Dragon King stretched out his claws and scratched his head, making his black scales rustle. "But how can you do that? Sending out a few small fish won't cause any trouble, and it will only expose your plan. They'll definitely come to investigate. With the Demon Hunters encircling us, I dare not play tricks. I'll be the first to sell you out."

"I understand your responsibility, but please rest assured, we have been preparing for several years. How could we not be confident at all?"

Morgas spread out his hands and took out a golden key with a trident pattern painted on it, but such a simple thing caused a huge earthquake on the seabed.

All the dragons opened their eyes, and the Dragon King instantly came to Morgaus, as if he wanted to swallow him in one bite.

"Ocean Key, where did you get it!?"

"Well, this is a key made by Titus himself. It can release the Eye of the Abyss. Don't get excited. There is only one key. It is impossible to completely release the Eye of the Abyss. It can only weaken the strength of the restraint." Morgas did not answer how he got it. This must be top secret. He pressed down with both hands.

"Liberating the Eye of the Abyss requires a pair of Ocean Keys. If I can obtain one, I can also obtain the other. But let me ask you, do you dare to let me open it?"

The Dragon King stopped talking. Trapped in the deep sea, he faced the corrosion of the abyss every day. His desire for freedom almost drove him crazy.

But they still have basic rationality. The dragon clan must lie dormant. Now the dominant position of the gods is unshakable. If they run out, they will die.

"If we lose, you won't lose anything, because the Eye of the Abyss's restraints have weakened, and you might be able to break it after a few hundred years. If we win, you won't lose anything either. You can simply release the Eye of the Abyss and gain freedom. Then no one will be able to stop you."

That makes a lot of sense. It’s a win-win situation.

The demons are weak but not that weak. The dominant position of the gods will definitely be shaken. The dormant dragons can be sold at a high price, either to help the gods wipe out the traitors or to help the demons fight back.

It would be best if both sides suffered losses, then we are more important. Anyway, I will wait until the situation is clear before placing a bet.

I've waited for ten thousand years, so there's no need to rush for just a moment. But the question remains—

"Would you be so kind?"

"I've already said that we have no choice. Do you want us to not resist and just wait to die like pigs and dogs?"

"That's... not the case." The Dragon King did not doubt Morgas's position. This was their best choice. Moreover, he was very cunning. Taking the responsibility of "poor guarding" was the biggest gamble.

If the demons really start making trouble, the God of Sky would have to be crazy to increase the number of enemies.

"Go ahead, big brother."

"I'm going crazy trapped here. This is a good opportunity. Even if something goes wrong, we won't be held responsible."

"Brother, in my opinion, it's better to work with the demons and rebel against them."

"I haven't seen the sky in ten thousand years. Is this still considered a dragon?"

The three two-headed dragons started to make noises, which awakened the sleeping dragons and made them make noises together. What a good opportunity! Even if the demons failed, the gods would be seriously injured. They could get the benefits without doing anything.

Without going into too much detail, even if the restraints were relaxed a little, a few dragons would be able to escape and take a look at the sky. Even if they could only soar for a second, it would be worth dying for.

The Dragon King was undecided, unable to find any fault, so he looked at the silent Fire Chaser not far away and asked, "What do you think?"

The Fire Chaser gained a respected reputation and gained more trust without participating in the trial.

There are definitely problems, but this is a destruction mission, how can we remain unchanged?

He looked at Morgaus, as if studying his essence, and said only one sentence:

"I've analyzed that the Great Hunt is intended to address the shortage of trial subjects. If we sit back and watch the demons being annihilated, can't you be used for trials? Then, will the entire dragon clan fight or just watch?"

This statement is decisive. No one is a fool. The essential contradiction that Yuki can analyze can certainly be thought of by the dragon clan.

Yes, the trial rules set by the Great War to resolve conflicts have reached their limit. It is not without reason that the God of the Sky has gone crazy. Now that the demons are gone, he has to find another target. The dragons are all powerful, so can't they also be used as trial subjects?

For example, if you designate a dragon under your command, will he resist or just stand by and watch?

The reason why a king is a king is not only because of his strength, but also because he has to bear the expectations of his people.

"Tell me, what are you going to do? What do you need the dragons' help with?"

"You don't need the help of the dragons. You just need to sleep."

Ha, have these demons gone completely crazy after becoming gods?

The Dragon King could hardly recognize these old comrades and old rivals. They were demons, the demons that destroyed the world and were cruel by nature, yet they were so considerate of others.

"Alright, the dragons won't know what you're doing, but there's still a problem. The Eye of the Abyss still exists. How do we get these mindless sea monsters out?"

"Have you forgotten my ministry?"

The God of Shadows, who specializes in controlling the laws of space.

"I see, I see! You're quite the character. You must have been planning this day for a long time!"

The Dragon King was overjoyed and looked at Morgaus with a high opinion. This must have been a premeditated plan. Once the Key of the Ocean weakened the restraints, he could use his magic to open a space channel and quietly lead the sea monsters out of the abyss. This was a large army, which would surely give the Gods a great surprise.

That's right, the more intense the fight, the safer the dragon clan will be. No, it should be said that the higher its value will be. Maybe the God of the Sky will really lend troops to suppress the bandits in the end. At that time, I will propose to replace him with someone else to watch the door. This condition is not excessive, right?

"Thank you for the compliment. I will notify my companions right away." Morgas bowed slightly and split into a black shadow.

This shadow has no weight and merges into the sea, directly opening a space channel, going to unknown coordinates, and bringing Morgas's personal message.

"Tell His Majesty that the plan went smoothly."

......

While the undercurrents in the deep sea surged, Yuki was still admiring the scenery in the northern mountains.

The mountain range is like a giant wall separating the continent, blocking out all the cold air. Standing on the mountain, one can see a stunning view.

The north is a vast land with snow falling everywhere, while the southern slope is full of vitality. The endless fields extend to the end of the horizon, but unfortunately there is no smoke from cooking fires or villages to be seen.

"Ah, actually, most of the demons have regained their sanity. These humans are really something, hiding in the city-state and not coming out."

Shan Jing came skipping after them, looking quite funny.

"Perhaps the scars left by the Great War are too severe. I've read the literature, and the demons did cause quite a stir."

"That's all past grudges. I'm five hundred years old at best, so why should I take the blame?" The Snow Demon complained again, then changed the subject, his hands on his hips like tree branches: "Of course, I'm still young, after all, the most handsome Snow Demon."

You, handsome?

Yuki took a look at it. It had button-like black eyes and a round white body. It didn't even need makeup to be the mascot of Mixue Ice City.

"Five hundred years is not a short time."

"The snow demon's lifespan is infinite."

Yuki immediately turned his head, and seeing the snow demon feeling a little guilty, he hurriedly explained.

"Well, I can't remember many of the demons because of their repeated migrations, but the Snow Demons have always stayed in the North. No one disturbed them, and they were able to pass on their secrets orally. My dad even told me about the 'Demon Era' and the 'Dragon Era'."

Yuki's expression became more focused. These legends were almost extinct. To others, this was just the snow demon bragging, but Yuki was different.

The decisive force in the game of races is the most inconspicuous insect race.

"Tell me more about it. Don't think about it. Just repeat your father's words to me."

Shan Jing did as he was told. In fact, he only knew a few terms. Assuming that he died at the age of 500, there were dozens of great demons of the Snow Clan over the past 10,000 years. If each of them forgot a sentence, a lot of details would be missed.

This is because the Snow Demon is solitary and has no natural enemies. If it were any other demon, perhaps it would have died in a battle and these things would have been buried in the ages.

Not much is said about the Dragon Age, probably about the past when ancient dragons were rampant.

After all, the Demon Age is related to the Snow Demon. To be more specific, it is about the time when the demons controlled the world and had infinite lifespans. There were no gods originally, and these gods suddenly appeared, then grew stronger, usurped the rules, ascended to the throne, and then used a great war to completely end the rule of the demons.

It's a very logical story. Yuki seems to be able to imagine a group of geniuses emerging from slaves and stepping to the top step by step.

It's quite interesting. There were no gods before, only demons, and all the rules were controlled by the demons. Then a group of people rebelled and kicked them off the throne.

Yuki did not doubt the authenticity of the story because of a very interesting little detail.

These myths cannot be recorded and will disappear no matter what medium is used. They just happen to match the myths found by Mebius.

Legend has it that the God of Civilization has a responsibility to manage all inheritances in the world, and the only things that pass on civilization are language and writing. As for why the Snow Demon has been passed down from generation to generation by the patriarchs, the reasoning is also very simple.

The structure of the demon clan is based on population and bloodline, forming a tribe. For example, the Snow Demon Tribe is composed entirely of Snow Demons. So it can be inferred that the Snow Demons are also a pantheon whose leader is a demon god.

"Only the truth needs to be covered up, and there are unexpected gains." Yuki looked at Shan Jing with a gentle look, causing the latter to clasp his small hands against his chest.
