Not bad.
This time, Hong Yun wasn't even going to let Ancestral Dragon keep his cultivation. He would reincarnate as a human with nothing!
Only then could he establish humanity's rightful lineage.
Otherwise, if Ancestral Dragon attained the Dao again after returning, whose would he be?
The Dragon Clan's, or humanity's?
Ancestral Dragon immediately began to hesitate.

"Whether we're talking about humanity or the Heavenly Dao, do you know what the worst-case scenario is?"
Ancestral Dragon stared blankly at Zhen Yuan Zi, still turning Hong Yun's words over in his mind.
Zhen Yuan Zi continued,
"It's not frightening for humanity to possess a spirit. What's frightening is for it to have a will of its own!"
"Humanity should be a collective formed from the consciousness of countless people, with all living beings equal beneath it. But once it develops a will, it will have likes and dislikes...and begin to favor one side!"

Why had Hong Yun opposed Dao Ancestor Hong Jun?
Wasn't it for exactly this reason?
What Hong Yun feared wasn't someone joining with the Dao and becoming the Heavenly Dao's spokesperson.
What he feared
