Cihang's Proposal: The Dragon Clan Joins the Heavenly Court
In the presence of a group of quasi-saints and powerful beings, Cihang naturally had no chance to make a move.
He stood quietly behind the crowd, silently observing how things unfolded.
Having witnessed Candle Dragon's methods, Cihang knew that Candle Dragon was now invincible.
No matter how disdainful the gods were, they dared not risk overturning the world by taking action.
Neither the Sanqing nor Di Jun could bear the consequences.
To defeat the Candle Dragon, you must first destroy the Sea Eye.
Perhaps a sage could sever the connection between the Dragon Clan and the Sea Eye, but the few present could not.
Even with Hongjun present, this matter will not actually happen.
But once Hongjun appears, no one can escape punishment.
However, judging from Di Jun and Tai Yi's expressions, they were clearly unwilling to compromise like this.
There may be other twists and turns in this matter.
Apart from a select few, the other cultivators did not understand Candle Dragon's choice.
In their view, Candle Dragon was completely overestimating himself and didn't know what was good for him.
Di Jun and Tai Yi did not intend to destroy the Dragon Clan, but rather to bring them under their control.
For the Dragon Clan today, this might be a way out.
But Candle Dragon chose to fight to the death at this moment.
The key point is that the Dragon Clan race is far weaker than the demon race; they only managed to force the demon race to give up by controlling the Sea Eye.
The cultivators all tried to persuade Candle Dragon, but Candle Dragon remained unmoved.
Candle Dragon also had his own plans.
If the demon race truly rules over Primordial World myriad realms of the primordial world, he might as well submit to them.
For the sake of the Dragon Clan's survival, they can continue to tolerate and yield.
But the demon race failed to overcome such a powerful opponent as the Witch Race.
This is so similar to the Dragon Clan of the past.
Having survived the great calamity that befell the three races, Candle Dragon's consciousness was perfectly clear.
To rule over all the myriad realms of the Primordial World is not as simple as it sounds.
The three races failed back then, and it's impossible for the Witch and Demon Clans to succeed now.
The Dragon Clan is currently in a situation where it can no longer withstand another battle for the Heaven and Earth Destiny.
"Candle Dragon, my demon race is acting entirely out of goodwill."
Why are you so hostile towards us?
Di Jun could barely suppress the anger in his heart.
Although Candle Dragon didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that he didn't have a high opinion of the demon race.
What right does a loser of the Dragon Clan have to act like this?
"My Dragon Clan has no intention of making enemies with anyone; we merely wish to maintain the Dragon Clan's heritage and independence!"
Candle Dragon's attitude remained unchanged; this was not only a statement to the demon race, but also a declaration of his stance to all the gods of heaven and earth.
If they can survive this calamity, the Dragon Clan can continue to live peacefully and prosper throughout the world.
They can then focus on their recovery.
"Candle Dragon, if you really insist on going your own way, then don't blame my demon race for being impolite."
"The power of the Sea Eye is terrifying, but it can't protect you and the Dragon Clan."
The smile on Di Jun's face vanished completely, and his voice grew increasingly cold.
At this critical juncture, he could not compromise, otherwise the demon race would lose all face.
The prestige that has just been established will also be completely destroyed.
"Is that so? Then let me see the methods of your demon race!"
Candle Dragon let out a cold laugh and directly used the power of the Sea Eye through the Dragon Palace.
In an instant, the Candle Dragon was enveloped in a surge of violent water elemental power.
The calamity clouds that had just dissipated gathered again in the East China Sea.
"Alright, then let me show you the strength of my demon race!"
Di Jun's face was gloomy, and a huge divine script diagram appeared above his head.
One side is mountains and rivers, the other side is endless divine runes of laws.
It was Di Jun's Companion Spiritual Treasure, the River Diagram and Luo Book.
As Di Jun made hand seals, the River Diagram erupted with divine light, reflecting the deep Sea Eye within it.
Divine Mark flowed across the Luo Shu, beginning to analyze the restrictive magic array between the Sea Eye and the dragon palace.
If we can successfully deduce its formation, we can block the Dragon Palace and the Sea Eye, leaving the Candle Dragon with no one to rely on.
"Impressive technique, but this formation was created during the peak of my Dragon Palace's power; it's not so easily broken!"
Although Candle Dragon spoke confidently, he dared not underestimate his opponent.
He immediately manipulated the power of the endless Sea Domain and began attacking Di Jun.
"Primordial River-Luo Great Array, trap!"
Di Jun changed his hand seals again, using the River Diagram and Luo Book to evolve the Primordial River-Luo Great Array.
Once the formation was complete, it instantly trapped the Candle Dragon within.
While resisting the Sea Domain's attacks, runes emerged and headed towards the Dragon Palace imprint.
Di Jun discovered that even with the deductive power of the River Diagram and Luo Book, it was impossible to analyze the great formation in a short time.
They immediately planned to seal the Dragon Palace with a grand formation, forcibly severing its connection with the Sea Eye.
"Trying to seal the Dragon Palace? In vain!"
With a roar, Candle Dragon unleashed the power of countless Sea Domain and attacked the Primordial River-Luo Great Array.
At the same time, the billions of the Dragon Clan in the Dragon Palace also joined forces, unleashing all sorts of supernatural powers and magical treasures to attack the great formation.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Under the attack of the Dragon Clan, even the Primordial River-Luo Great Array showed signs of instability.
"Brother, I'm here to help you!"
Tai Yi, wielding the Eastern Emperor Bell, charged into the great formation.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
As the Eastern Emperor Bell tolled, it unleashed an even more powerful suppressive force.
Since they could not counteract the backlash from the Sea Eye, they stopped attacking and instead began suppressing the ancient dragon palace.
The Eastern Emperor Bell inherently possesses the power to suppress all things in heaven and earth.
In an instant, Candle Dragon was under immense pressure, and the wounds on his body became even more severe.
Blood flowed down and merged into the seawater.
Di Jun then used the power of the River Diagram and Luo Book to analyze the restrictions of the Dragon Palace and sealed it with the power of the spiritual treasure.
"Since you're relentlessly pressuring me, don't blame me for taking everyone down with me!"
Candle Dragon changed his hand seals, actively drawing upon the power of the Sea Eye to attack Di Jun and Tai Yi.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
As the Candle Dragon activated the Sea Eye, a terrifying tsunami erupted once again in the Sea Domain.
Even with the Eastern Emperor Bell and the River Diagram and Luo Book suppressing it, this power could not be completely neutralized.
Seeing this, the Sanqing and other gods took action once more.
While stabilizing the world, it also separated the two sides in the great war.
They don't care about the conflict between the two races, but only if the world isn't truly destroyed.
After separating the two sides in the great battle, the gods also began to urge them to make peace.
This war absolutely cannot continue.
But neither Di Jun and Tai Yi, nor Candle Dragon were willing to compromise.
The situation reached a stalemate once again.
"Esteemed seniors, may I ask Cihang for a word?"
Despite the oppressive aura of numerous powerful figures, Cihang leaped forward and spoke.
"Young friend Cihang has a solution!"
Tongtian spoke first, simultaneously dispelling the oppressive aura emanating from the crowd for Cihang.
Nuwa, Hong Yun, and the others also gave Cihang a kind smile.
"Cihang does have some suggestions."
If I understand correctly, Senior Di Jun wants to rule over the fortunes of the four seas.
Senior Candle Dragon, however, wanted to ensure the independence of the Dragon Clan and was unwilling to join the demon race.
"In that case, why don't the Dragon Clan join the Heavenly Court?"
Cihang finished speaking, everyone looked enlightened and then began to persuade Candle Dragon and Di Jun separately.
This is indeed a win-win solution, where both sides compromise while simultaneously achieving their respective goals.
Candle Dragon had no objection to this proposal.
However, Candle Dragon also stated that the Dragon Clan was willing to submit to the Heavenly Court and govern the four seas, but was unwilling to participate in the conflict with the Demon Clan.
Di Jun and Tai Yi also made a compromise.
The fortunes of the four seas belong to the Heavenly Court, making the Dragon Clan less important.
The Dragon Clan has ultimately fallen, and its power is now limited.
