The True Child of God!

Within the Longwu Empire.

When Ye Long opened his eyes, the blonde woman Sarah was sitting on a chair to the side, fiddling with her hair.

"Dragon Ancestor has awakened."

Upon hearing the woman's words, Ye Long examined his own body and found that he felt no discomfort or unusual sensations.

What did you do?

Sarah smiled faintly, "It's just that I inherited a little bit of the Dragon Ancestor's excellent genes."

Ye Long looked at Sarah and asked, "Are you 004?"

Upon hearing this, Sarah's lips suddenly curled into a smile. "You guessed right, but this is a no-prize contest. My situation is not much different from yours; we both have physical bodies that can be manifested but cannot be used."

"In other words, we reproduce in the same way."

"However, after careful consideration, I think that rather than mating with humans to give birth to so-called demigods, it would be better for two gods to unite and give birth to offspring with the power of two gods."

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could then smoothly establish a partnership?"

Upon hearing Sarah's words, Ye Long fell into deep thought.

That guy was right.

The Queen Bee's goal was to obtain Ye Long's retinue and, through this, to achieve cooperation.

But the more accurate that guy's words were, the more hesitant Ye Long became.

The other Ye Long, who called himself Ao Zuo, was one person, but Ye Long knew that they were completely different people from the beginning.

Ye Long's relationship with that guy wasn't exactly good, but it wasn't bad either.

But there was one thing that Ye Long had always been concerned about.

Ao Zuo said that his power was not released, but was sealed inside Ye Long's body like a treasure.

If Ye Long is willing to give up everything and abandon himself to become Ao Zuo, he can fully unlock that treasure.

He had been guiding Ye Long in this direction, but Ye Long had repeatedly deviated from Ao Zuo's path.

Instead of opening the treasure that Ao Zuo mentioned, he accepted the power bestowed upon him by Chen Ye, stepped into another system, and started cultivating from scratch, gradually reaching where he is now.

During that period, Ao Zuo could only be seen when Ye Long was on the verge of death.

But now, he sees that so-called other self from time to time, and Ao Zuo says that this is not a good sign.

So, from what standpoint did Ao Zuo make this statement?

Is it for him, for Ye Long, or for both?

Ye Long had considered that if he fully accepted that power, wouldn't it be the same as being possessed by Ao Zuo?

Was his intention in inducing Ye Long to activate that power in order to possess him?

If that's the case, is the bad situation he mentioned only relevant to himself?

Of course, it's also possible that Ye Long is overthinking things. After all, through nearly a hundred years of frequent contact here, he discovered that Ao Zuo has actually been in a state of stagnation most of the time.

It's that feeling of "if others want to fight, then fight," and "it's none of my business."

The same applies to Ye Long. When talking about Ye Long possibly dying, his tone is very nonchalant, but sometimes his attitude becomes ambiguous, which is the most elusive thing about him.

Ye Long couldn't understand what that guy was thinking.

Seeing that Ye Long remained silent for a long time, Sarah's eyes flashed. "What, do you feel that I deceived you and are angry?"

Hearing Sarah's words, Ye Long came to his senses. "What gives you the confidence to cooperate with me?"

Sarah smiled faintly upon hearing this, "It wasn't there before, but it is now."

"Children born of humans and gods possess immense power and can be called demigods, but what about the children born of gods?"

"I can't even estimate how powerful a child who has inherited the power of two fifth-tier beings will be."

"We've reached the one-hundredth milestone. Two hundred years from now, the third-tier warriors will enter the fray, and we'll already possess the combat power of the fourth tier. Wouldn't you say that gives us confidence?"

Partnering with 004 is indeed an option.

Moreover, Ye Long has already formed an alliance with the Desert Empire, which is the Crown Alliance.

Yes, the Golden King formed a true alliance with the Ye Long using the Insects King's Crown.

Isis was also included in the alliance, but due to a lack of crowns, Isis currently in a rather awkward situation.

However, given the power of the Life Blessing, the value of allying with her far outweighs the acquisition of a crown, so her situation is relatively safe for the time being.

So...

It wouldn't be unreasonable to reach a verbal alliance with 004 now.

As for the divine child that 004 will conceive afterward, it is ultimately Ye Long's child, and he will naturally have some control over it.

If that child were to wear the crown and become king, perhaps he could counterbalance 004 at a crucial moment.

A few days later, the two countries reached an alliance.

The Kingdom of 004 is located to the north of the Longwu Empire. The alliance between the two empires is ostensibly shrouded in a special relationship.

That is, a marriage between two gods.

The god of one country married the god of another country, achieving a fusion in their pantheons and connecting the beliefs of the two nations.

For this reason, the surrounding small countries took the initiative to befriend Ye Long, voluntarily becoming vassal states, and temporarily reached a verbal alliance.

Seeing that this side was a formidable fortress, the Ocean Empire's offensive on land was once again stalled.

Atlas told his father about it, and his father told the gods about it.

Li Yuan's advice was to maintain the stalemate and cease all previous actions.

Li Yuan's change of attitude, ironically, aroused suspicion in several countries that had come into contact with him.

Since retreating in the face of difficulty is not Li Yuan's style, he probably has some bigger plan, or rather, a deeper scheme.

In fact, Li Yuan did not take any further action after that.

He abandoned all external expansion and remained silent, as if intentionally fading from public view.

Several years later, as the Ocean Army took no further action, neighboring countries gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

As time progressed to 150 years, the situation on the continent gradually became clear. The Longwu Empire, which was based in the center of the continent, gradually became the leader among all the nations.

This period was the most stable time in terms of the situation on the mainland.

With maps already publicly available, no large-scale wars have broken out for decades, with only minor skirmishes along the borders of various countries.

However, in the same year, a strange kingdom quietly rose in the northwest of the mainland.

That is the realm of the resurrected and the dead. The two have been together from the beginning, and their war has never stopped.

The two fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand, and ultimately no winner was decided.

Until one moment, a strange idea suddenly flashed through their minds.

"We fight to the death, but in the end, isn't it all about annexing the other side and gaining their other half of their power?"

"But have you ever considered that we're not the only ones in this game?"
