Seeing how eager the True Dragon looked, the Primordial Qilin smiled and said, "What, are you already confident you can deal with the Four Madmen?"
"I wouldn't call it confidence, but over the years, I've privately sparred with the Beast Ancestor."

"What if we add another epoch?"
"The Beast Ancestor would certainly die, and the losses among the two great epochs' high-ranking cultivators could be kept to around seventy percent."

"Quantity can overcome quality. Chen Changsheng was the one who proposed that idea."
"I may hate him, but that doesn't
