"Commander Haotian, our Ancestral Dragon Clan has been brought into the Original True World. I'll send them a message right away and have them come to the Southern Region to rendezvous!"

Li Hao's deputy, Long Zhantian, hurriedly spoke to him.

His spiritual sense swiftly extended. The soul power contained in five thousand drops of true god blood instantly swept across hundreds of millions
