The Three Tribes' Secret Meeting, the Solution Lies with the River God!

The Immortal Volcano.

As the source of all volcanoes in the Primordial World, the heat of the Immortal Volcano could no longer be described by words, because every wisp of flame here was a manifestation of the Great Dao, an extension of rules themselves.

It was precisely because of this that the void around the Immortal Volcano, burned by flames year-round, had already formed an absolute emptiness; even the self-repair of space could not make this stretch of void heal.

For hundreds of millions of light-years around the entire Immortal Volcano, there was not a single trace of human habitation, nor the aura of any living being. It could be called a forbidden zone of the Primordial World. None but the Phoenix Clan could approach it, nor would anyone dare.

Yuan Feng, who was cultivating in seclusion deep within the Immortal Volcano, was still somewhat surprised when he received Ancestral Dragon's message. He did not understand why Ancestral Dragon would contact him.

However, as an old rival across endless yuanhui, Yuan Feng still understood Ancestral Dragon very well.

When he saw Ancestral Dragon say he wanted to meet and talk, Yuan Feng was not worried that Ancestral Dragon would make a move against him. With Ancestral Dragon's temperament, he would also disdain ambushing and harming others.

Instead, when he saw that Shi Qilin had actually also secretly come to the Immortal Volcano, Yuan Feng was somewhat surprised.

He had not only contacted him, but even contacted Shi Qilin too?

Could it be that he wanted to decide the final battle of the Three Tribes and determine who was truly the overlord of the Primordial World?

Ancestral Dragon could no longer wait to obtain boundless karmic fortune, add it to himself, and prove the Dao as a Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal?

That was what Yuan Feng thought, and Shi Qilin thought the same.

The two looked at each other, their gazes somewhat grave, extremely wary of Ancestral Dragon.

No, brother, you are indeed stronger than the two of us, but have you really gone mad to this extent? You gathered us together directly and planned to announce that you alone reigned supreme?

Just as the two were about to transmit their voices and discuss how to deal with Ancestral Dragon, they seemed to sense something, and both raised their heads to look.

Ancestral Dragon... had arrived!

"No need to overthink it. This seat did not come to make you bow your heads."

Glancing at Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin, Ancestral Dragon saw through what the two were thinking at a glance and spoke directly.

"What exactly did you summon us for?"

"Indeed. Ancestral Dragon, do not think that if we join forces, we are truly no match for you."

Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin spoke one after another.

"Our Three Tribes are finished."

Ancestral Dragon was too lazy to pay attention to the two of them putting on a brave face while inwardly weak. With an ugly expression, he spoke.

"???"

Yuan Feng.

"???"

Shi Qilin.

"Have you gone mad? Suffered qi deviation and been Possessed by Demonic Energy?"

"If anyone is finished, it's your Dragon Clan. What does that have to do with my Phoenix Clan? Ancestral Dragon, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Yuan Feng's face was full of bafflement.

Shi Qilin nodded in deep agreement.

"Our Three Tribes are merely chess pieces. This calamity is completely a setup. We are only cannon fodder pushed onto the stage. The war between the Three Tribes already has no need to continue."

"Between us, there is a common enemy."

Ancestral Dragon did not waste words or ramble. He went straight to the point and said in a deep voice.

Having known them for so long, Ancestral Dragon understood the two's temperaments and circumstances, so there was no need for needless words. Being direct and straightforward was enough.

"Ancestral Dragon, what exactly do you mean?"

Shi Qilin's expression changed. Sensing that Ancestral Dragon was not joking, his gaze sharpened.

Although Yuan Feng did not speak, he also stared fixedly at Ancestral Dragon.

"Luohu..."

Ancestral Dragon laid everything out in full, from Luohu secretly planting undercover agents within the Three Tribes, to the true nature of the Dragon-Han Calamity, to Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao joining hands, and a whole series of other matters.

Of course, before speaking, Ancestral Dragon naturally blocked the Heavenly Secrets to prevent the Heavenly Dao or Hongjun from sensing anything. Seeing Ancestral Dragon being so solemn, the two also cooperated in blocking the Heavenly Secrets.

Then, there was no then.

After listening to Ancestral Dragon's account, Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin went numb.

Their heads buzzed, and their eyes had already become incomparably dazed.

The amount of information was too enormous, leaving Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin's minds dizzy and muddled. Even though they were as powerful as peak Primordial Chaos Golden Immortals, their brains nearly crashed.

After a long while, the two calmed down. Taking a deep breath, they looked at each other, their gazes turning grave, and their faces becoming incomparably dark.

The two did not doubt what Ancestral Dragon had said, nor did they have any thought of returning to their respective clans to verify whether there were Devil Race undercover agents.

There was no need for that.

Could Ancestral Dragon have called them over for no reason just to deceive them?

With such a great mobilization, it meant this could only be the truth.

"What a fine Luohu! What a fine Hongjun! What a fine Heavenly Dao!"

"Good, good, good—truly good!"

"We have actually become a joke!"

"We Three Tribes, in their eyes, are probably nothing but a joke!!!"

A fierce light blazed in Shi Qilin's eyes as he spoke, enunciating each word.

"They want to use us as chess pieces. Do they truly think we are dead?"

Yuan Feng laughed in anger as well, her voice turning cold and eerie.

Scheming against them?

Did they really take them for chess pieces with no strength to resist? Did they really think their peak Golden Immortal of the Origin cultivation was fake?

Destroying the Primordial World might be beyond them, but flipping the table and wrecking the Primordial World was not difficult for them at all.

If they would not let them live well, then nobody should keep playing!

"Don't act rashly. Hongjun's cultivation is unfathomable. Since he had already joined hands with the Heavenly Dao in secret, it would not be impossible for him to be a Half-step Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin by now."

"And there is also Luohu. Since he dares to arm-wrestle Hongjun, his strength is likely not to be underestimated either. Perhaps he is also at the realm of Half-step Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin."

Ancestral Dragon shook his head and spoke slowly.

"..."

Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin exchanged a glance, their expressions turning bitter.

This was bad. So it turned out they had become the clowns?

Everyone had been watching their joke from the shadows, watching them jump around?

"Ancestral Dragon, how did you know all this? Also, since you came to find us, you should already have a countermeasure in mind, right?"

Yuan Feng looked toward Ancestral Dragon and spoke.

"This starts with the unease I have felt over this recent period."

Ancestral Dragon did not conceal anything. He told them everything, from how he had kept feeling that something was wrong, to the sudden impulse that drove him outside, where he met River God.

Everyone was now a grasshopper tied to the same rope. Even if this River God clearly could bring him a tremendous opportunity, he could no longer hide it.

Selfishness was necessary, but it depended on the occasion. If they could not get through this difficult pass, all of them would be finished. If he still concealed Tang Xuan's existence at a time like this, then he really would be an idiot.

When they heard Ancestral Dragon say he had felt uneasy, Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin's expressions shifted slightly, turning somewhat bitter, and they sighed inwardly as well.

Ancestral Dragon was stronger than them after all. They had not sensed anything wrong at all, yet Ancestral Dragon had actually felt it long ago.

Afterward, when they heard Ancestral Dragon begin to describe River God, subtle changes gradually appeared in Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin's expressions.

First, they almost burst out laughing at Tang Xuan calling Ancestral Dragon "young Ancestral Dragon." Then came shock, horror, disbelief, until in the end, their heads were buzzing again.

"How could this person know so much? Matters involving the Heavenly Dao's Great Trend are not something even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin could peer into. How could he know these things..."

Shi Qilin's face went blank as he murmured as if to himself.

Yuan Feng also found it inconceivable and subconsciously pinched her fingers to calculate. Then she felt a sudden palpitation in her heart and understood that if she continued deducing, she would suffer a backlash, so she hurriedly chose to stop.

"Who he is is not important. What is important is that our way to break the situation lies with him. With our own strength, we cannot jump out of the Chess Game. He is our hope!"

Ancestral Dragon said sonorously and forcefully.

"Good."

"Good."

Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin nodded one after another.

The three of them exchanged glances, their expressions turning solemn. All of them understood one another's meaning.

Cooperate?

Cooperate!
