"You say? Create?!" Wang Long exclaimed, breaking the long silence among the crowd.
"Hahaha, you are truly naive and ridiculous! A dragon clan that suddenly appears after thousands of years! And what a coincidence that it was encountered by the Third Generation Dragon Head! The two of them just happened to become close friends and discussed all topics of cultivation, only to end up falling out and sealing it within you? What kind of coincidence is that!"
"If I guess correctly, all of this was meticulously arranged by your father, the Third Generation Dragon Head!"
"I suspect that when your father was young, he certainly wasn't the temperamental person he later became... He must have been like many others, full of vigor, not only wanting to protect Dragon City but also striving to unify the Kyushu Islands. Perhaps... he even had ambitions like that of the Human Emperor to unify the entire Nine Provinces and Four Seas!"
"But he also knew that relying solely on his own strength would never accomplish this task, so... naturally, he turned his gaze towards the ancient dragon clan."
"As the dragon head, he possessed resources and information that others could not reach! He controlled three volumes of Dragon Script and Heavenly Book, possessing various secrets passed down from previous dragon heads, along with the full cooperation of many elders... They finally managed to use some unknown secret method to resurrect a True Dragon that was Evil and Malicious from the Dragon's Tomb in the back mountains of Dragon City!"
"Did you think Dragon City was built to protect the bloodline of the True Dragon? I see it as nothing more than a facade! The true purpose of Dragon City was to guard this world for the Ancient Dragon Clan! To prevent the sealed Dragon Soul from awakening!"
"However, the Third Generation Dragon Head and many elders, driven by their ambition to unify the world, ultimately could not resist their inner desires and went against ancestral teachings. Not only did they fail to guard against this demon, but they also betrayed their own trust and resurrected it themselves!"
"You can imagine how spirited your father must have been at that time! The Dragon Soul! Even when the Ancient Dragon Clan was still around, this was a demonic name! They must have used countless forces and lost many True Dragons just to seal it away! If its power could be fully awakened, it would be apocalyptic! Unifying the world would be within reach!"
"However, as for what happened later, whether it was you in the Dragon Duel or all of you, you should already know... The Dragon Duel and the Third Generation Dragon Head had a divergence, or rather, the Third Generation Dragon Head feared the consequences of such actions and chose to retreat..."
"The rupture began... The Third Generation Dragon Head realized he had opened a bottle of demons, releasing world-destroying power that he could not control. In desperation, he had no choice but to use the power of a Leaderless Dragon!"
"He sacrificed his wife and children's lives and his own fate as a price to finally succeed in sealing the Dragon Soul... However, he did not completely give up. He sealed the Dragon Soul within his own son! The purpose was so that one day he could fully awaken its power and control it for his son, truly realizing his ambition for unifying the world through Dragon City!"
"Wang Long, your father has never been a mere guardian... I'm afraid he has always been an ambitious person!"
The forbidden area fell into silence, with only a gentle autumn breeze passing through.
"No... that's not how it is; I understand." Wang Long suddenly sighed. "Even if what you say is true, my father is not as you imagine him. It wasn't until yesterday that I understood this truth... In this Chaos, there can never be a pure guardian. To survive, one can only take Initiative Strike! My father needed this power but never thought it was for his own selfish reasons... Otherwise, he wouldn't have hesitated at the last moment."
Changxi smiled lightly, "Perhaps..."
Dragon Soul sneered, "So you're saying I'm just a plaything? A tool manipulated by the Third Generation Dragon Head? Unable to control myself, and then passing it on to my son? Continuing to imprison me, binding me, is essentially to leverage the innate power I possess?!"
Changxi glanced at him and said solemnly, "You may refuse to accept it, but I'm afraid... the truth is as such."
Jiang Xue suddenly spoke up, "But that still doesn't explain why you would appear here with the princess of the Jiao Dragon Clan!"
Changxi looked at everyone and said gravely, "If you want to possess power that can rival the Human Emperor, you cannot take a gradual approach or respond with common sense! The Third Generation Dragon Head is like this, and so are you and I today!"
"In ancient times, even when the dragon clan was dominant, there were still the Four Great Supreme Beasts, who completely disregarded the legitimacy of the dragon clan, looking down on everything and gazing disdainfully at all heroes under heaven! They were Evil and Malicious, reckless and unrestrained! Their ferocious might was overwhelming; even the Dragon Emperor of that time would have found it difficult to fully suppress them!"
"One of these four unparalleled Fierce Beasts is the Dragon Duel, which is suppressed in the back mountains of Dragon City!"
"And our journey here is to seek another fierce beast... the Heavenly Python!"
"Dragon Duel is the war god! The demon of the Ancient True Dragon Clan! And the Heavenly Python, known as the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Serpents! Born from the creation of heaven and earth! It possesses boundless vitality and unmatched strength!"
"Could it be that he is also sealed within this Back Mountain Forbidden Area!?"
Changxi laughed, "Not sealed... He is the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Serpents, how could he be sealed in his own sacred land?! He is merely in slumber, waiting for the moment of revival..."
"This is impossible... There has never been any legend of a Heavenly Python here, nor have I ever heard of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Serpents from any clan member..." Jiang Xue snorted coldly, questioning.
"Oh, you have heard... The so-called dragon has nine offspring, each with their own preferences; snakes are no different! In this Serpent Demon Sacred Ground, known as Sangyou Valley, there have long been nine Ancient Pythons, which are derived from the power of the Heavenly Python. You could say... they are the children of the Heavenly Python!"
"Each Ancient Python possesses the ability to shift rivers and cut mountains. When nine Ancient Pythons unite, they can summon the King of Ten Thousand Serpents, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Serpents, the true form of the Heavenly Python! Their power is enough to destroy heaven and earth, open rivers and sever flows, suppressing the entire Nine Provinces and Four Seas!”
Wang Long said indifferently, "So, when you were released from this forbidden place, your first step was to head to Dragon City to search for the Dragon Soul?"
Changxi nodded and sighed, "I didn't know that the Dragon Soul had already been revived by your father. I thought it was still in the back mountains of Dragon City, which is why I ventured there, intending to explore the Dragon Mound Center. Of course, with the Dragon Head present, I didn't actually go inside."
"But later, I heard about this matter and realized that I was a step too late, so I could only shift my focus to my own ancestors from the Serpent Clan, the Fierce Beast Heavenly Python."
Long Princess Lingli chuckled lightly, "Alright, senior, that's enough of the story... What should we do about these two who have discovered our secret? Should we kill them or let them be?"
Changxi smiled slightly, "What does the princess think?"
"These two are quite skilled and backed by the entire Dragon City and Serpent Clan. They are not easy to deal with. Moreover... ultimately, at this stage, their goals are actually aligned with ours, right?"
"So, the princess is suggesting... cooperation?"
"Trying it out wouldn't hurt."
Changxi nodded and said, "Indeed... but it also depends on whether they are willing!"
