The Dragon Sovereign remained silent, and the Phoenix Lord kept her lips sealed as well. The failure of this attempt had clearly weighed heavily on both of them.
Only after quite a while did the Dragon Sovereign say, "Since you are an External Official of the Phoenix Race, there is no harm in telling you this. The reason only a Human Race body can reconcile yin and yang is because the ancestors of the Dragon and Phoenix Races were Human Race!"
"What?" Lu Ye instinctively felt that he must have misheard.
The Dragon and Phoenix Races could be called the noblest races in this Inner Realm. How could the ancestors of those two races have been Human Race?

It made no sense at all.
Then he recalled that he himself also carried Blood Race bloodline.
If that mighty ancestor of the Dragon and Phoenix Races had somehow fused the bloodlines of both races, then it did make sense.
