When it came to drawing lots, the entire Peak Guild had to take part.

However, Crimson Feather and his comrades were currently fortifying Kyoto, more like honorary members. Besides, Qin Chuan had already given Crimson Feather a Flame Dragon, so the remaining three Flame Dragons were temporarily out of their reach.

He called Water God, Xiao, and the others back from Rising Dragon Imperial City and explained the situation.

Water God's eyes lit up after hearing everything.

"Drawing lots?"

"Guildmaster, I'm good at this! I'm possessed by the Luck Emperor himself—the Little Prince of One-Shot Success!"

"Give me a break." Xiao mocked him mercilessly. "With your luck, you think you're a Luck Emperor? You're more like an Unlucky Chieftain!"

"Go play somewhere else." Water God waved him off impatiently. "Guildmaster, hurry up and start. I can't wait any longer!"

Qin Chuan smiled and said nothing more. He directly took out several slips of paper, all wrapped in Shadow Power so that the writing inside could not be seen.

"Three of these slips have the word 'win' written on them. Whoever draws one can form a contract with a Flame Dragon."

"The rules are simple. Everyone picks one. A win is a win; a loss is a loss."

"Those who don't draw one don't need to be discouraged. This time, it's Flame Dragons. Next time, there'll be Wind Dragons and Thunder Dragons. My goal is for every one of you to have a dragon."

"Guildmaster, you're awesome!"

"With the Guildmaster saying that, the dragon race's good days are over."

"How can you call that the end? Following the Guildmaster is the dragon race's only way out."

"Stop chatting, everyone. Let's start drawing. Who's first?"

"Me!" Water God rushed forward first and confidently drew a slip.

"Little dragon, here I come... Damn it, why didn't I win? That can't be right. Where's my Luck Emperor power...?"

Water God stared at the blank sheet in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"See? I told you that you were an Unlucky Chieftain, but you wouldn't believe me." Xiao curled his lip. "Watch me!"

As he spoke, he drew a slip as well.

"Oh? Why are there words on this one? What does it say? I don't really understand. Water God, come take a look."

Xiao waved the slip around, grinning from ear to ear.

Water God was so depressed he wanted to bash himself to death with a block of tofu.

"Damn, Xiao, your luck is way too good!" Xue Zhong Yi Jian Xia said enviously. "No, I have to try too."

Xue Zhong confidently drew a slip.

Blank.

"Hahahaha!" Water God was overjoyed. He patted Xue Zhong's shoulder and said, "Good brother!"

Xue Zhong was too depressed to speak.

Xiao happily began examining the three Flame Dragons, considering which one he should choose.

The drawing continued.

"Eh, I won!"

Xu Changqing looked at the slip in his hand in surprise.

He had not expected to actually win.

The other Peak members immediately sent their congratulations.

"Uncle Xu, your luck isn't bad."

"Little Xu has worked so hard without complaint. He deserves this."

Qin Chuan could not help but laugh helplessly as he listened.

Xu Changqing had actually only just come of age, but his rugged appearance gave him a maturity far beyond his years, so the way people addressed him was especially chaotic.

Xiao, Xue Zhong, and the others liked to call him Uncle Xu, while Di Jia Ling Yu, Song Ling, and the others usually called him Little Xu.

One person, two generations—Xu Changqing was truly one of a kind in Peak.

Before long, most people had drawn their slips, but the owner of the final Flame Dragon had yet to be decided.

At that moment, Jing arrived late.

She had just finished setting up a Teleportation Array at the Dragon Soar Dynasty outpost. Seeing that several slips remained, she casually drew one.

"Eh, I won?"

Jing looked surprised.

Water God said dejectedly from the side, "Damn, are Xiao and Jing cheating? There are only three Flame Dragons, and those two siblings took two spots."

Ji Xing said with a smile, "Drawing lots depends entirely on luck. Besides, the Guildmaster said there will be more chances to obtain dragons in the future, so don't let it get to you."

"That's true." Water God nodded. Though somewhat unwilling, he accepted the result.

"Alright, since the candidates have been decided, let's begin forming the contracts," Qin Chuan said.

"Guildmaster, how do we choose the dragons?" Xiao asked excitedly.

Qin Chuan pointed to the largest Flame Dragon, whose scales were also the brightest. "This one is the strongest. It's yours."

"Got it!" Xiao happily walked up to the Flame Dragon and reached out to stroke its enormous head.

The Flame Dragon let out a low growl, seemingly unwilling, but with Scripps watching from the side, it obediently lowered its head.

Jing chose a slightly smaller Flame Dragon whose scales carried a pale golden sheen.

"This Flame Dragon seems to contain a trace of spatial power," Jing explained. "It might have a chance to evolve."

Qin Chuan nodded. Jing herself had spatial abilities, so this Flame Dragon was indeed a better fit for her.

Xu Changqing chose the last Flame Dragon.

This Flame Dragon was medium-sized, with dark red scales, and looked rather understated.

"This Flame Dragon gives me a very steady feeling," Xu Changqing said.

"It does suit you," Qin Chuan agreed.

"Alright, start forming the contracts."

Xiao, Jing, and Xu Changqing walked up to their Flame Dragons.

The three Flame Dragons obediently cooperated as they formed Dragon God Contracts.

With the contracts complete, the addition of the three Flame Dragons raised Peak Guild's strength by another level.

"Alright, now let's assign the tasks," Qin Chuan said. "The overall arrangement will remain unchanged. The main adjustments concern the personnel stationed at Rising Dragon Imperial City."

"Xiao and Changqing both have Flame Dragons, so having both of them go to Rising Dragon Imperial City would be a waste. Xiao, stay in Magic City. Oudis and En En Shixiong will replace you at Rising Dragon Imperial City. Xu Changqing will still go to Rising Dragon Imperial City as before."

"Jing, you'll stay in Magic City as well, but you'll serve as a mobile force, responsible for patrolling the various teleportation points. You'll normally remain in Magic City, but when you go on patrol... Di Jia Ling Yu and Song Ling, the two of you will go with Jing. You can look after one another."

"Understood!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Qin Chuan continued, "Since everyone is here, those who have yet to ignite their divine fire should enter the Shadow Domain and gain some insight. The Shadow Domain is in the early stages of becoming a divine kingdom, so the various laws are appearing quite clearly. I hope you can gain something from it and ignite your divine fire soon."

"Those who haven't ignited their divine fire or opened a domain yet, don't be discouraged either."

"While the others are studying the laws, Ji Xing, go to Rising Dragon Imperial City and find Yingluo Yezakura first. It isn't very secure with him alone over there. Jing and I will watch over Magic City, so there shouldn't be any problem."

Ji Xing nodded. "Guildmaster, I'll head over first. Once Water God and the others go to Rising Dragon Imperial City, I'll come back."

Ji Xing headed to Rising Dragon Imperial City through the Teleportation Array.

Qin Chuan opened the Shadow Domain and let the other Peak members enter to comprehend the laws, striving to improve as soon as possible.

While the Shadow Domain was open, Qin Chuan could still move freely. He did not remain idle either. Just as he was about to find Lola to discuss some matters, he sensed an intense spatial fluctuation.

A passage to the Undead World appeared, and countless undead emerged.

Among them, the auras of demigod-level undead were as numerous as stars!
