"Um? Is that the voice of Taotie?" Dragon Duel shouted, turning to Heavenly Python and Chaos to ask.
Chaos let out a low growl in agreement.
Wang Long quickly said, "Brother Dragon Duel, don't you remember? It's me, Wang Long... You once saved my life, and we have fought side by side for a long time."
"Ah, I remember now... How long have we been asleep?!" The speaker was not Dragon Duel, but Heavenly Python.
Jiang Xue replied, "Not long, just over a month..."
Dragon Duel smiled wryly, "It feels like I've slept for thousands of years. But... is that really old three out there? Has he also been unsealed?"
The three fierce beasts simultaneously focused their thoughts and suddenly burst out of their consciousness, transforming into their physical forms and flying out.
Wang Long and the others immediately followed suit, releasing their held hands.
The four fierce beasts were instantly stunned.
Dragon Duel alternated between looking at the massive skeleton spanning the heavens and the drooling Taotie, unsure of what to say.
"It really is you, old three!" Heavenly Python said in a deep voice, though there was a hint of joy in it.
Taotie roared in response but did not speak.
It seemed that only Dragon Duel and Heavenly Python were able to talk.
"I never expected that our brotherhood of four would have the chance to reunite again!" Dragon Duel said with emotion.
Chaos moved closer and collided fiercely with Taotie, seemingly expressing joy at their reunion.
Ling Li laughed and said, "He's smiling! I've hardly ever seen him smile, let alone this happily..."
Dragon Duel regained composure and said in a deep voice, "So, young one... you have finally discovered the burial place of Evil and Malicious and broken the seal above it?"
"Yes."
Heavenly Python responded in a gloomy tone, "Then what do you want? Do you wish for us four brothers to be resurrected and return to our forms as Evil and Malicious, becoming your allies?"
Wang Long smiled, "Well, the decision is in your hands. I won't force anything... Even if it's Dragon Duel, if the four of us can merge and transform into Evil and Malicious, then my father's seal on you should also be broken, right? In that case... I have finally fulfilled my promise to you, and you can choose to regain your freedom."
Dragon Duel was taken aback for a moment, then sighed, "Indeed! Even if I fall into a deep slumber again, I will still be sealed within your body. However... if the four of us become Evil and Malicious, then unless the Thirteen Dragon Emperors are completely resurrected, no one will be able to defeat us or seal us again!"
"You still haven't answered me. What do you truly want by doing this?" Heavenly Python asked with its yellow-green eyes fixed on Wang Long, demanding an answer.
"Me? I just want to know one thing... that is, your origins."
Heavenly Python was momentarily stunned and replied solemnly, "Is that all?"
Wang Long forced a smile, "I fear that even you may not be very clear about it. What do you mean 'is that all'..."
"Indeed... even we ourselves..." Dragon Duel sighed heavily and shook its head.
"Although I am of the dragon race, I have never known who my parents are. When I became aware of myself, this is how it was... What I know and what I desire is nothing but endless slaughter! Slaughter! As for why this is so, where I come from, I do not know and have never thought about it."
Heavenly Python nodded in agreement, "That is true... Brother Dragon Duel is of the dragon race yet has no father or mother, while I... am originally the first of the Serpent Clan! I am the sole ancestor of the Serpent Demon Clan! Who can know where I came from?"
Though Chaos and Taotie could not speak, they also let out two low growls to express their own confusion.
"Is that really the case?" Wang Long sighed deeply, gaining a bit more understanding of the truth of this world but still feeling uncertain.
"I wish to know in detail what you did during ancient times..."
Dragon Duel said, "Is this your bargaining chip for my freedom?"
Wang Long smiled, "You could think of it that way, although I never intended to continue sealing you."
"Alright..."
"The four of us come together as Evil and Malicious, but apart we are the Four Great Beasts. We have never known where we came from or where we are going; yet we are born with our own temperaments, such as my brutality and bloodlust, Heavenly Python's cunning and treachery, the confusion of Chaos, and Taotie's insatiable greed... all innate."
"But in the current Primordial world, under the control of the Dragon Clan, the Hundred Clans of Demons coexist peacefully without war. Of course, there are occasional small-scale battles, but overall, it is a scene of harmony and tranquility..."
"The world seems like a blank sheet of paper—peaceful... yet monotonous!"
"It is in this context that the four of us were born... like a large splash of ink flowing freely and wildly, painting the entire world with our colors and lines!"
"Wherever we go, disaster follows; there are wars, smoke rising everywhere, and flames of conflict... Yet at the same time, we do not understand why this leads to the rapid growth of the Hundred Clans of Demons, who even began to have their own leaders and civilizations. This made the Dragon Clan uneasy; I suspect they feared their position might be shaken!"
"In the end, all Thirteen Dragon Emperors acted simultaneously to completely seal us here, splitting our souls into four parts and scattering them across billions of miles to prevent our resurrection."
"But today, we have gathered once more."
The narration by Dragon Duel was surprisingly vivid, causing Wang Long and the others to feel as if they had returned to that vast wilderness in the chaotic Primordial era!
The Dragon Clan stood high above, while the Hundred Clans of Demons bowed submissively. The Four Great Beasts emerged forcefully, sweeping everything away. After their rampage of life and death, they inadvertently brought development and civilization to various demon tribes, infuriating the Dragon Clan. Finally, all Thirteen Dragon Emperors united to seal them.
"I see... Thank you. What I wanted has been fulfilled; how you choose now is up to you." Wang Long smiled and gestured invitingly.
Dragon Duel, Heavenly Python, Chaos, Taotie.
The four fierce beasts exchanged glances, seeing desire in each other's eyes that rose like flames.
The enormous skeletal structure that spanned the heavens and the earth suddenly began to scatter, transforming into individual white bones that slowly floated into the souls of the four fierce beasts, filling the void.
Even Chaos and Taotie were no exception.
"It seems that the physical forms of Chaos and Taotie are not their own. Taotie's was reassembled by the Human Emperor at the cost of countless lives; what about Chaos?"
Wang Long glanced at Ling Li.
"Pretty much... but he wasn't as brutal. Instead, he crazily devoured Heaven and Earth Vital Energy to regrow. However, the current Heaven and Earth Vital Energy is likely nowhere near what it was during the Primordial times."
Wang Long understood, watching as the four fierce beasts gradually restored their original appearances.
The scene was extremely bizarre.
What had originally been vague figures, a hazy illusion, suddenly gained a skeletal structure, slowly taking shape and becoming substantial; they even began to frantically consume Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, growing muscles, skin, and even internal organs and blood.
This was a process of revival, a process of rebirth and creation.
