Candle Dragon Not Dead, Dragon Clan's Hearts Return
Ao Hai reached out his hand tremblingly, yet dared not touch that wisp of life.
He froze on the spot, his body trembling uncontrollably.
His lips trembled, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a few words.
"The Saint... this... is this his aura?"
Zhou Ming replied calmly with a faint smile on his face.
"Haven't you already felt it?"
"What, you can't believe it?"
Upon receiving Zhou Ming's affirmative answer, Ao Hai froze completely.
"Impossible!"
He instinctively retorted.
"Ancestor Candle Dragon has already perished in the Immortal-Demon War! His soul and spirit have been destroyed, how could there possibly be any trace of him left behind!"
His mind was in complete chaos as he desperately searched for a reasonable explanation.
"Could it be... something that you, Saint, preserved during the Immortal-Demon War?"
Before Zhou Ming could answer, Ao Hai contradicted his own guess.
"Wrong!"
"That's not right!"
"This aura is brimming with vitality; the aura of our Ancestor when he perished had no such strong life force!"
An incredibly bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.
He couldn't believe it.
But he couldn't help but feel hopeful.
He suddenly raised his head, stared intently at Zhou Ming, and asked with all his might, his voice trembling.
"Saint..."
"Has our Ancestor... been Reincarnation?"
After asking that question, Ao Hai's heart pounded wildly, and he looked at Zhou Ming nervously.
He longed for, and anticipated, that answer.
Looking at his expectant yet apprehensive expression, Zhou Ming smiled and nodded, giving an affirmative answer.
"Good."
I've already sent him Reincarnation reincarnation.
After a brief silence, a surge of ecstasy instantly overwhelmed Ao Hai!
He could no longer control his emotions and became so agitated that he spoke incoherently.
"That's great! That's great!"
"Our Ancestor is not dead! Our Ancestor has not truly perished!"
He was so excited that he was incoherent and paced back and forth.
He alternated between crying and laughing, releasing all the grief and despair that had been building up for tens of thousands of years.
Zhou Ming just watched him quietly, letting him vent his ecstatic joy.
After a long while, Ao Hai's emotions gradually calmed down.
He walked up to Zhou Ming and solemnly bowed deeply in a respectful greeting.
"Thank you Saint, for saving my clan's Ancestor!"
"Such a great favor, Ao Hai... I am eternally grateful! My Dragon Clan will never forget it!"
He bowed willingly, prostrating himself completely.
Zhou Ming accepted the bow without hesitation, and then slowly began to speak.
"You believe me so easily?"
Aren't you afraid I'm lying to you?
Ao Hai raised his head, his face showing no sign of doubt.
I believe in Saint.
"Given your status and position Saint, there is absolutely no need for you to deceive a mere Quasi -Quasi-Sage me in this manner."
Zhou Ming nodded in satisfaction.
"How about it?"
Zhou Ming brought the topic back to the present.
"The Cultivation Method I just mentioned, are you still practicing it?"
Upon hearing this question, Ao Hai's mind became clear.
He knew he had no other choice.
If Zhou Ming hadn't saved the Candle Dragon Ancestor, he would definitely have refused for the sake of the Dragon Clan.
But now...
He could no longer refuse.
Sage Zhou Ming saved the Ancestor, which is an immense favor to the entire Dragon Clan.
It's a life-saving grace!
If I dare to refuse again, then I'm ungrateful and don't appreciate your kindness.
An immature Ao Hai can be abandoned at any time.
An ignorant Dragon Clan can be wiped out at any time.
With this in mind, Ao Hai did not hesitate at all.
He bowed deeply to Zhou Ming again and spoke respectfully.
"Everything is in accordance with the Saint's arrangement."
"Ao Hai has absolutely no objections."
Hearing Ao Hai say this, Zhou Ming felt completely calm.
Zhou Ming never liked to force people to do things against their will.
But he has never failed at anything he set his mind to.
Because the bargaining chips he holds are always irresistible to the other party.
Not only will I make you obediently do things for me, but I'll also make you extremely grateful to me.
A Ao Hai is easily dealt with.
"Good."
Zhou Ming responded calmly.
"I'll give you ten thousand years to handle the affairs of the clan."
"Ten thousand years from now, come find me at the Pangu Hall on Buzhou Mountain."
"Yes!"
Ao Hai responded respectfully.
"I will obey the Saint's instructions."
He hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help asking with a hint of anticipation.
"Saint, may I... may I go and see the Ancestor?"
Zhou Ming shook his head.
"Not now."
"He has his own opportunities; now is not the time to reveal them."
"You will meet again someday."
Hearing Zhou Ming say this, Ao Hai was somewhat disappointed, but he still immediately responded.
"Yes, Ao Hai understands."
Seeing that Ao Hai was so sensible, Zhou Ming was in a good mood.
The decision was made to give the Dragon Clan another chance, partly to put his mind at ease.
"Since you're so sensible, I'll show your Dragon Clan race another way."
"Perhaps it can free some of your Dragon Clan from this Karma burden."
Upon hearing this, Ao Hai was overjoyed and extremely excited.
Free yourself from Karma!
This is the biggest problem that has plagued the Dragon Clan for countless Eon!
Last time, with the help of the Immortal Court's Fortune, he was able to get rid of some of his Karma and advance to the Quasi-Sage Realm.
Now there is another opportunity for the Dragon Clan to be free from Karma, which is a great thing for the Dragon Clan.
"Thank you, Saint! Saint merciful!"
He bowed again, deeply moved.
"I humbly request your guidance, Saint Excellency!"
Zhou Ming spoke calmly.
"The Human Clan is about to rise to great heights; this is a settled matter, tacitly agreed upon by both the Heavenly Dao and us Saint."
"After the Great Rise, the Human Clan will become the new protagonist of the world."
"Your Dragon Clan race is born with the ability to control clouds and rain, which is of great help to the development of the Human Clan."
"You can send your people to cooperate with the Human Clan."
"During the rise of the Human Clan, you contributed your strength and resources, Human Clan."
"At that time, you will naturally gain immense Merit Fortune."
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Dragon Clan, who are burdened by Karma."
Ao Hai's breathing became rapid.
Chance!
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
An opportunity for the Dragon Clan to escape their predicament and be reborn!
He never imagined that today he would not only learn the good news that his ancestor was alive, but also receive such a golden road!
"Thank you for your guidance Saint! Thank you for your guidance, Saint!"
"The Dragon Clan will never forget the great kindness of the Saint!"
"If there is anything that my Dragon Clan may need in the future, please do not hesitate to give the order, Your Saint!"
"Our entire Dragon Clan will brave fire and water for you!"
Zhou Ming waved his hand.
"Arrange matters concerning the Dragon Clan as soon as possible, then come to the Pangu Hall to find me."
"Yes, Saint!"
Ao Hai responded respectfully.
Zhou Ming said no more, and with a flick of his body, he disappeared from the Dragon Palace.
