A Little Dragon Is Born, a Little Snake? The Elders Fly into a Rage!

Radiant colors streamed and shimmered. Runes shrouded the eggshell, mottled with five colors, while five-colored energy swirled around it, lending it a sacred air, like a supreme treasure.

The spectacle immediately drew everyone's attention, especially that of the Great Elder and the Second Elder.

"Hm? What's going on? Could the peerless dragon offspring nurtured within this Primordial Dragon Egg be about to hatch?"

"Haha! The Ancestral Dragon Nest nurtured this Primordial Dragon Egg for countless ages, from the primordial era until now. Who knows how many heavenly treasures it absorbed during that time? Born today, it will surely shake the world and become a capable mount for our Young Master!"

"Exactly. With the Ancestral Dragon Nest's meticulous care, coupled with its own supreme bloodline, it could have hatched long ago. Yet it only came into the world after arriving at the Eternal Ye Family. It seems this was heaven's will!"

At the sight, several elders laughed heartily, their spirits soaring.

The Great Elder, Ye Wanjun, gently approached Ye Tian and said, "Little Young Master, it seems heaven ordained that the peerless dragon offspring within this Primordial Dragon Egg should become your mount."

He was in a fine mood and felt deeply gratified. He had forcibly seized the Primordial Dragon Egg from the Ancestral Dragon Nest precisely because he hoped the Young Master would one day have a mount of unrivaled talent that could always accompany him.

He had assumed the Lineage would need to nurture it for a while longer, nourishing it with countless heavenly treasures such as Spirit Liquid and Spirit Grass before it could hatch.

He had never expected that now... it would already show signs of emerging, ready to break out of its shell.

Didn't this mean there was a powerful bond of fate between the Young Master and the peerless dragon offspring within the Primordial Dragon Egg?

Fate was wondrous beyond words.

At the sight, Ye Junlin's and Yue Liuli's eyes flickered, their pupils shining as they stared at the Primordial Dragon Egg.

In a sense, the life nurtured within this Primordial Dragon Egg could also be considered an Ancient Freak tempered by the passage of ages.

If it successfully entered the world, with all those accumulated years behind it, just how terrifying would its potential for growth be? They dared not imagine.

Perhaps... it would provide considerable help along Ye Tian's path of growth.

Even Huang Ruoxi watched eagerly, the phoenix true blood within her boiling as though it were about to ignite.

A bead of sweat trickled down Huang Ruoxi's lovely face as she speculated inwardly, The creature inside this Primordial Dragon Egg is anything but ordinary.

In terms of bloodline strength, it even far surpasses phoenix true blood!

At that moment, almost every gaze in the great hall had converged on the Primordial Dragon Egg.

Without exception, they all took it for granted that this Primordial Dragon Egg would produce a supreme being that would accompany Ye Tian as he grew.

Ye Tian stared avidly, as though looking at a delicacy, drool threatening to spill from the corner of his mouth.

But he forcibly held it back. He had originally planned to find a chance when no one was around to cook, boil, or fry this Primordial Dragon Egg.

In any case, there were so many ways to eat it that one was bound to suit the Primordial Dragon Egg.

But now, the dragon egg was about to break, and the creature nurtured inside would be born. Surely he couldn't lay a hand on it then.

Still... although he couldn't eat it, having a mount as a playmate seemed pretty good too.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Primordial Dragon Egg's shell slowly cracked apart. Five-colored divine light blazed, as dazzling and brilliant as the sun.

The Great Elder stroked his beard, awaiting the birth of the legendary peerless dragon offspring.

As the shell broke, a dragon's cry rang out. The elders in the hall wore animated expressions, thinking to themselves, It's a sure thing! It really is a peerless dragon offspring with unrivaled talent!

The light slowly receded, and a creature with skin like crystal gemstones emerged from the dragon egg. Its body shimmered like luminous colored glass, noble and sacred, displaying the divine might and domineering grandeur of an Imperial Dragon.

However... what happened next stunned the onlookers.

Judging by her head alone, this divine dragon was surely no ordinary creature.

Yet... once she had crawled completely out of the shell, the onlookers' eyes nearly popped out.

They gaped, tongue-tied and astonished. Even the usually composed elders of the branch lineages had no idea what to say.

The Great Elder was so startled that he nearly tore out his own beard.

The Second Elder cursed, his fury soaring to the heavens and his face flushing red. "That accursed Ancestral Dragon Nest actually dared deceive our Eternal Ye Family! What in the world did they give us? I'm absolutely livid!"

Ye Tian also wanted to know what had happened to make so many elders and hall masters lose their composure.

His bright, glistening eyes rolled about before turning toward the Primordial Dragon Egg.

He immediately understood why everyone had lost their composure.

Some thin egg fluid remained inside the broken shell. Beside it lay a little snake, her tiny mouth open as she gently sipped the fluid. Her expression was contented and her eyes sparkled, as though she were enjoying some peerless treasure.

Even Ye Tian was dazed for a moment, thinking inwardly, What?! How could it be a little snake?

That shouldn't be right. According to the Lineage, what was nurtured inside the Primordial Dragon Egg was supposed to be a peerless dragon offspring tempered by the ages, with talent that towered above the world. How could she be so unremarkable? Hmm... no, she is pretty good-looking.

System, quick, quick, quick! Appraise her and see what's going on!

The Great Elder and Second Elder went to such trouble to seize this dragon egg from the Ancestral Dragon Nest. It can't hatch into a useless little thing!

Otherwise, those two old men will probably lose their minds, won't they?

"Ding, ding, ding. Beginning scan."

"Ding. Scan successful. This little snake—ah, no, Little Dragon—has mediocre talent."

"She was originally a peerless dragon offspring with unrivaled talent. However, after enduring the passage of countless ages, Little Dragon's bloodline mutated and instead regressed."

Hearing the system's explanation, Ye Tian felt deeply regretful and sighed inwardly.

What a pity. The Primordial Dragon Egg they had crossed several regions and expended so much effort to find had actually produced such a useless creature.

She had originally been a peerless dragon offspring, but unfortunately, under the relentless passage of time, her bloodline had regressed instead.

Dragons were Heavenly Great Fiends, their bloodlines supreme above all others. Logically, the odds of bloodline regression occurring in the Dragon Clan should not have been even one in hundreds of millions.

Ye Tian had originally wanted to taste a dragon egg, but now he changed his mind.

An heir to a noble Lineage's bloodline, yet only possessing a mortal physique—isn't she the dragon version of this baby right here?!

Of course, he was far luckier.

Not only was his Lineage the foremost Lineage across the heavens.

His father was also the Ye Family's God Emperor, the strongest in the present age, whose might overshadowed all eternity!

More importantly, these illustrious relatives revolved around him all day, afraid he would fall if they held him in their hands, afraid he would melt if they held him in their mouths.

Oh, right, I also have a system that's occasionally useful.

At that thought, the look Ye Tian gave the baby snake... dragon immediately turned to profound sympathy.

Compared with him, this Little Dragon, handed over by her own family...

Wasn't she far too pitiful?!

At the sight, Yue Liuli sighed, but she still set Ye Tian beside the little snake to see what her little Tian wanted to do.

"The Ancestral Dragon Nest is outrageously bold! They're making fools of us!"

"Using a useless thing to toy with our Ye Family—do they really think we're all idiots?"

The Second Elder, Ye Wanjie, roared, his eyes bloodshot and murderous intent spilling everywhere. He wished he could go slaughter the Ancestral Dragon Nest right then.

The other elders kept their tempers in check, but they were also seething with indignation.

They all believed the Ancestral Dragon Nest had used a worthless egg to make a mockery of the Eternal Ye Family.

But Ye Junlin truly lived up to his standing as the present age's God Emperor. His eyes blazed like torches, seeing through everything. After sweeping his gaze over the Primordial Dragon Egg and the little snake, he immediately understood that the Ancestral Dragon Nest had not deliberately mocked the Eternal Ye Family. Rather, the passage of time had caused her bloodline to regress.

"Let's go! Our Eternal Ye Family has flourished for countless ages. Are we really going to let a bunch of loaches make fools of us?!"

The Second Elder bristled with fury, like a demonic god. Hot-tempered as he was, he was just about to fly out of the great hall and settle accounts with the Ancestral Dragon Nest.

But just then, a melodious voice rang out. "Please wait, Elder. The Young Master... seems very fond of this little snake—er, this Little Dragon."
