My Dragon Race Only Wants to Guard the Four Seas

"I am going to guard the Four Seas. Are there any problems with that? This is a good thing for the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao, isn't it? Even the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao believes my Dragon Race is capable, bestowing Merit."

Ancestral Dragon replied casually.

"Heh heh, a good thing, you say it so lightly. You're guarding the Four Seas, but what about us?"

Yuanfeng, standing nearby, frowned slightly.

"Me guarding the Four Seas, what business is it of yours?"

Ancestral Dragon asked.

"Don't think we don't know your plan. You'll pretend to guard the Four Seas, and after my Phoenix Race and Qilin Race have fought each other to a mutual destruction, your Dragon Race will reap the benefits."

Yuanfeng continued:

"The three races have already formed a tripartite standoff. For your Dragon Race to want to withdraw safely is far too naive!"

"That's right, today your Dragon Race must give us an explanation!"

First Qilin said:

"If your Dragon Race swears to withdraw from the Primordial World's struggle from now on, then Yuanfeng and I will immediately lead our people away. But if your Dragon Race wants to play dirty with us, wanting to wait until our two races are mutually destroyed before coming out to pick up the spoils, heh heh, there's no such good thing. Since our two armies have already arrived at the East Sea border, let's settle this here and now!"

"Hiss!"

Ancestral Dragon couldn't help but gasp.

This was not how he had imagined the situation.

"Fellow Daoists, you two have likely misunderstood me. My Dragon Race has no intention of contending with any of you!"

He continued:

"If you two don't believe me, I can swear that from now on, the Dragon Race will not contend with the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanfeng and First Qilin's expressions changed dramatically.

"Fellow Daoist Ancestral Dragon, are your words not false?"

"Are your words credible?"

"That's right, I can swear right now to prove my innocence!"

Ancestral Dragon nodded, then directly swore to the Heavenly Dao:

"Heavenly Dao above, I, Ancestral Dragon, swear that from this day forward, the Dragon Race will absolutely not contend with the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race, unless the two races attack my Dragon Race first. If my Dragon Race proactively invades the two races, my Dragon Race! Will be annihilated!"

"...Since Fellow Daoist Ancestral Dragon has made such a solemn oath, then my Phoenix Race will withdraw our troops!"

Yuanfeng said.

"My Qilin Race will also withdraw our troops."

First Qilin said.

Previously, the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race could contend with the Dragon Race because the Dragon Race was dominant on its own, so the two races had to join forces, never allowing one side to gain an absolute advantage.

But now.

The Dragon Race had chosen not to contend with the two races. Therefore, if either of them were to provoke the Dragon Race again, the result would be that they would face an attack from both the Dragon Race and the other.

So, they had no choice but to retreat.

Although they retreated, they were still very displeased in their hearts, feeling that they had been outmaneuvered by the Dragon Race.

The Dragon Race could withdraw from the tripartite struggle, but what about the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race?

The Dragon Race held an absolute advantage, so the two races needed to resist them together. However, the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race were evenly matched.

Now that the Dragon Race had withdrawn from the conflict, they could only guard against each other.

But they couldn't withdraw from the conflict like the Dragon Race.

After all, if one of them withdrew from the struggle, it would be equivalent to handing over the position of overlord of the Primordial World to the other.

Who would do such a foolish thing?

If they weren't going to do something so brainless, then they could only fight it out.

Both the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race were confident in themselves and did not want to hand over the position of overlord that was right in front of them.

Therefore, a great battle was inevitable.

But would the outcome of this great battle truly be their victory?

Why had the Dragon Race suddenly chosen to withdraw from the tripartite struggle? Could it be that the Dragon Race knew something they didn't?

At this moment, both Yuanfeng and First Qilin thought of this question.

Why had the Dragon Race, which was originally the most domineering, chosen to withdraw from the struggle for supremacy in the Primordial World?

If the outcome of the struggle between the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race was mutual destruction, then Ancestral Dragon's oath would make sense.

If the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race fought each other to the death, and both sides were defeated, wouldn't the final result be that both races disappeared, and the Dragon Race would have inexplicably become the biggest winner?

This was something they absolutely could not allow to happen.

They could not let the Dragon Race's plan succeed!

From then on, the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race returned to their respective territories. The leaders of both races restrained their people, absolutely forbidding any conflict with other races.

Therefore, from this point on, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Races entered a rare period of peace.

Back then, how overbearing the Three Races were! In their previous lives, they had declared themselves the leaders of the Scaled, Beast, and Avian races. During this time, the Three Races had accumulated countless grudges...

These grudges were now being so casually set aside.

To say they were set aside was an oversimplification
