"Yu, chief of the Rain Tribe of the Human Clan, pays his respects to the Dragon King!"
The miracle Xu You had displayed had ultimately drawn the tribe's attention.
The tribe's current chief was a very young man in his prime, with thick, powerful limbs and heavy animal hides draped over him.
However, he had been standing outside the entrance for quite some time.
The Dragon King had decreed that no one was allowed inside the Dragon King Temple without his permission.
This was also because these humans were always trying to offer him sacrifices of one sort or another.
At first, it had been young boys and girls. After he expressly forbade that, it became livestock, game, and the like.
They would even rather let their own tribespeople go hungry than not offer him most of their game.
Yet whenever he fell asleep, it was often for years at a time.
When he woke, he would find rotting game laid out in his lair.
Who could keep their composure at that?
So he simply drove them all out, telling them not to keep hovering in front of him for no reason.
He was a dignified Taiyi Golden Immortal. Did he need mortals to get things for him?
Little Gu Yuena was still grinning foolishly beside him. Had merely obtaining the Ancestral Dragon Scripture made her feel that her path of cultivation was now clear?
This thing was exceedingly rare outside, but within the dragon clan, every dragon had a copy. It was as common as dirt.
But where was the dragon clan making its fortune these days?
Bringing it out to fool his bargain disciple was certainly a safe bet.
Xu You thought for a moment. Comprehending the Silver Dragon King's Dao fruit would probably take him a very long time.
He could not keep Gu Yuena beside him all that time.
Since that was the case...
"This is a human cub I picked up outside. From today onward, he will be your human tribe's shaman."
While little Gu Yuena was letting her imagination run wild, Xu You tossed her straight out.
The Dragon King Temple's doors swung wide, and a little girl with short limbs suddenly came flying out.
Yu instinctively reached out to catch her, but little Gu Yuena reacted extremely quickly. Using that momentum, she twisted around and planted a foot on his face before landing steadily on the ground.
Yu: ?
I'm the chief of the Rain Tribe!
With a dark expression, Yu wiped his face, then looked at the little girl beside him, whose exquisite features hardly seemed mortal. He was clearly stunned.
Are you sure this is a human?
No one in their tribe looked as beautiful as the little girl before him.
Her features were simply exquisite beyond belief.
For little Gu Yuena, however, getting away from her bargain master was a good thing!
She could not beat him right now, but naturally, she could not bear constantly bowing and scraping.
Now that she had been thrown out, didn't that mean she could run away?
"Now that I have the Ancestral Dragon Scripture anyway, the heavens are high and the earth is vast. If I simply flee, I doubt he could find me."
Gu Yuena forcibly suppressed the feeling that she would lose something important if she left.
Her gaze turned toward this supposed chief of a Human Clan tribe.
Before running away, she still needed to learn about this world.
Were dragons also roadside nobodies in this world?
"H-hello."
Yu greeted her. He was the newly selected chief of the Rain Tribe.
He was the Rain Tribe's strongest warrior.
But now he found himself in something of a predicament.
Their tribe already had a shaman.
A shaman was the priest of a Human Clan tribe, responsible for presiding over sacrifices to the Dragon King.
Their standing within the tribe was even higher than the chief's.
Only the shaman could communicate with the Dragon King, and could even display a few supernatural abilities.
They were loved and revered by everyone in the tribe.
The problem was that it was not yet time for their Rain Tribe to replace its shaman.
If the Dragon King appointed a new shaman right off the bat, what were they supposed to do with the previous one?
Actually, these were all minor matters. Supporting one shaman or two still meant supporting shamans.
The problem was, where would the new shaman live?
Surely they could not just drive the previous shaman out?
Along the way, Yu fretted over where to take the shaman before him.
But having seen the humans of the Douluo World, where Soul Tools were developing rapidly, and now seeing the huts before her, built from rough timber and dry grass...
Gu Yuena fell silent.
Was this a human settlement? Why was it different from what they had imagined?
Although he had been recovering from his injuries beneath the fire of life all this time, that did not mean he knew nothing of what happened outside.
Without Di Tian knowing, she had secretly slipped out to wander around.
She truly had never seen humans in such miserable circumstances.
Was this human civilization?
Primitive, crude, impoverished.
Most importantly, she could not sense any energy in these humans.
Were they all ordinary people?
Gu Yuena knitted her brows tightly.
From the way Xu You spoke, the Primordial World was clearly an immensely powerful place, with experts walking everywhere.
Then why were its humans so weak?
Beneath the river lay a blessed grotto-heaven.
"It's still more comfortable holing up at home."
If he could, he thought spending his whole life lying low here actually seemed pretty good.
The problem was that not looking for trouble did not mean trouble would not come knocking.
Especially now that the Demon Clan Heavenly Court was growing stronger and recruiting exotic beasts from across the Primordial World. In fact, he had already caught their eye some time ago.
No, rather, the entire Demon Clan Heavenly Court wanted the dragon clan to submit to it.
Although the dragon clan had already been forsaken by the heavens and earth of the Primordial World, its foundations remained, and the Ancestral Dragon was not completely dead either.
If they could absorb it into the demon clan, the balance between the Wu and demon clans across the Primordial World would be utterly shattered.
Naturally, a dragon like him was also among those the Heavenly Court wanted to bring into its fold.
However, by slipping benefits to the minor demon responsible for recruitment at the time, he had hoodwinked it into quietly erasing his name from the list.
Even if he had to work, it should be for the Haotian Heavenly Court. The current Demon Clan Heavenly Court was merely strong on the outside and hollow within.
It had long since been schemed into a dead end.
He had no desire to climb aboard and get caught in the reckoning.
Instead, he took out the Creation Godhead that had originally belonged to the Silver Dragon King and began studying it.
First, he needed to transfer his identity as a member of the Primordial Dragon Clan onto a Douluo Dragon Clan member.
What he wanted was two identity cards, discarding the dross and keeping the essence.
At the very least, he had to clear away the troublesome dragon clan karmic burden hanging over his head first. Otherwise, he would never advance beyond Taiyi Golden Immortal in this lifetime.
The dragon clan had really been nerfed far too badly.
At that moment, in the Douluo World, the view in the curtain of sky changed as well.
Unlike the place they had imagined, suspected to be the Divine Realm and filled with experts and mighty beings...
The Primordial World had humans too, but weren't the humans here far too weak?
After all, in the Douluo World, although they also had ordinary people, most people could awaken a Martial Soul. Ordinary people who could not awaken a Martial Soul at all were even rarer than those with Innate Full Soul Power.
Far more people had Trash Martial Souls.
But at least even a Trash Martial Soul offered a tiny bit of power.
Yet these people of the Human Clan in this so-called Primordial World?
They truly had not the slightest strength. Even the one hailed as their strongest warrior...
Placed in the Douluo World, he would be inferior to a six-year-old child who had just awakened a Martial Soul.
In an instant, what the Soul Masters of the Douluo Continent had originally envied was knocked right back down.
"How laughable. I thought the Primordial World was so badass. Isn't it still full of trash?"
"Exactly. They don't even have Martial Souls and can't cultivate. This Primordial World isn't as strong as we imagined."
