The Litian Dao Court first established.
Aside from the people of the Dao Court, who were the first to know.
Furthermore, those who knew this were neither the Demon Beast of the Western Continent, nor the humans of the Western Continent, nor the Sea Race that had come ashore.
Instead...
"His dragon-like features are fully revealed; what a magnificent display of his dragon-like features!"
"Tsk tsk tsk! I really want to know who has such abilities."
"Judging from this promising trend, if left unchecked, a Great Jin will surely emerge in this world sooner or later!"
"Haha, Brother Zou, you've really played a brilliant game of chess!"
Above the stars in the Central Continent.
A dozen or so illusory starlight figures gazed at the golden dragon phantom hovering above Western Continent.
Their tone was icy.
The previous flattering manner was gone.
The appearance of this Dragon Qi was too sudden.
It's in the place where the Yin-Yang School dragons again.
It's hard not to make them overthink.
Who can guarantee that raising dragons isn't the Yin-Yang School's goal at all, but rather that those formed from Dragon Qi and bestowed with Dragon Fate are what the Yin-Yang School truly aims for?
What if Zou Heng managed to keep it from them all?
If the conjecture is true, the Yin-Yang School has indeed played a brilliant move.
They were very dissatisfied with this ending.
Lord Shang, Legalist School, glanced at Zou Heng, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Even he, who was gambling against Yin and Yin-Yang School, was somewhat unsure at this moment.
I wonder if this is some kind of Yin-Yang School tactic.
"Originally, I was attached to the Zong Household, hoping to use Zong Household power to reshape the fortunes of the Western Continent and restore Western Continent laws."
"But the Sin Dragon's power is too great, and the Zong Household is useless. If we lose this round, we lose."
"I never imagined that these Yin-Yang School techniques would be so profound."
Lord Shang took one last look at Zou Heng.
Whether this is Yin-Yang School method or not, from this day forward, Hundred Schools of Thought have become hostile towards Yin-Yang School.
As for this Dragon Fate of the Western Continent, the Hundred Schools cannot sit idly by.
Even if it's a cataclysmic event, we'll find a way to extinguish it.
The same thought arose in everyone's minds.
The crowd stopped looking at the already decided fate of the Western Continent and left one after another.
Zou Heng was left standing alone in the same spot.
He silently watched Western Continent Jinlong.
He knew that saying anything would be useless.
It will only make things worse.
Right now, his greatest hope rests on his backup plan.
Only Dongfang Jiangxue severed this Dragon Qi.
Once the Dragon Qi was extinguished, his innocence was naturally proven.
There's even a chance to retake Western Continent.
The premise is...
"Those destined for the Dragon Fate are likely not easy to deal with."
" Dongfang Jiangxue's hopes are slim; another method is needed to restore the balance of Yin-Yang School."
"Those Dragon Fate... may only have a chance of victory if they are Heavenly Fate."
Zou Heng's thoughts raced, his gaze shifting.
It swept across the entire Eastern Wasteland.
The five continents of the Eastern Desolation Star and the vast Central Continent are adorned with various auspicious symbols in the celestial sphere.
Whether it's a tortoise or a phoenix, a flag or a sword.
There are hundreds of winding paths, interspersed with grandeur.
The other four states.
From east to west and north to south, the Dragon Qi of the Western Continent is gathering new fortune.
The other three states each exhibited unusual phenomena.
The blue lotus of the Eastern Continent floats in the air.
The dark magic of the Southern Continent is twisted.
The stone tablet in the Northern Continent is thick and heavy.
"The people destined for greatness from all four states have emerged."
" The Western Continent still possess the auspicious signs of Dragon Fate; it truly is a magnificent and prosperous era."
Even at the height of the Great Jin, there probably wasn't such a talent in the world.
"If it weren't for my sons splitting the heavens, how could we have witnessed the Hundred Schools today!"
Zou Heng's eyes flickered, and his resolve hardened as he reflected on the situation.
To avoid repeating the mistakes of the Great Jin, the Dragon Qi of the Western Continent must be destroyed!
Thoughts raced through his mind, and Zou Heng withdrew his illusory body.
The people of the Western Continent are unaware of the wonders beyond the heavens.
I was unaware of the vastness of the Central Continent.
Even more confusing was the emergence of a new powerful ruler in the Western Continent...
In the present Western Continent, all people are in chaos.
Ao Qing, the master of the Ao Qing Heaven-Pacifying Yao Prefecture, died and transformed into Flood Dragon Suppression Mountain.
The demons were terrified, and the dragons were leaderless.
The original thought was that Suanni, as the deputy lord of the manor, could shoulder the great responsibility.
Leading the demons.
I never imagined that I would witness my beloved elder brother Ao Qing, die.
The Suanni, possessing the bloodline of a divine beast, was so frightened that it ran straight out of the Western Continent.
Stepping onto the sea.
Even the demons were left to fend for themselves.
Without the Void Return Great Demon, the human race also has no Void Return cultivators.
With the Sea Race present, the three races tacitly agreed to sever contact.
"Brother, what should we do? Our lord is dead. Should we return to the Demon Manor, or...?"
The three masters of the Three Tiger Blessed Lands gathered together.
The three demons were fortunate enough to survive the great battle.
His elder brother Baleful Intent Tiger, had actually broken through to the Spirit Transformation by fortuitous opportunity.
This greatly boosted the confidence of the three demons.
"Brother, you must go back to the Blessed Land first!"
"Let's see what these descendants are up to, and see which damned beast stole my ancestral bones."
"My elder brother is now Spirit Transformation, and with my brother and I supporting him, we're absolutely confident we can defeat this villain!"
"Perhaps, while the Demon Lord of the Void Return Realm is still at the Demon Manor, the three of us brothers can take this opportunity to go all out!"
The Evil Tiger's voice was ferocious and excited.
In the eyes of the demons, Ao Qing's death was due to his failure to transform into a dragon and his inability to bear the resentment.
As for why the dragon transformation failed...
" Heavenly Dao has spoken that the Dragon Fate has been bestowed, so it seems that another great being has seized the credit."
"Such a powerful being is absolutely beyond the reach of us lowly cultivators."
"Returning to the Demon Manor shouldn't pose much of a threat. Once we get back, we'll find that scoundrel, skin him alive, and then take my second and third brothers and hide for a few years."
"If we're sure there's no trouble, then we'll subdue the demons!"
The Baleful Intent Tiger's mind raced, and he had already devised a plan.
He immediately gave instructions to his two younger brothers.
"Returning to the Demon Manor is the right thing to do, but now our Demon Race race is leaderless."
"With no powerful demon at the Void Return stage guarding the place, and being Spirit Transformation myself, I have no fear of others."
"Therefore, my two brothers and I will do our utmost to govern our tribe."
"Bring along as many Nascent Soul, Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, and Qi Refinement creatures as possible."
"Let's plunder some more human slaves along the way and return home with a rich and abundant harvest!"
What Baleful Intent Tiger said almost hit the nail on the head for the other two tigers.
The three demons looked excited and immediately got to work.
It's not just them who have this thought.
Each of the various Demon Beast had its own schemes.
Each of them was thinking of gathering their remaining forces, coercing the beast hordes, plundering resources to return to the Demon Manor, and becoming kings and tyrants.
Within a few months, the million-strong demon horde slowly retreated.
They swiftly moved towards the Demon Manor's domain.
The threat of Demon Beast is gone.
The surviving human cultivators emerged from the dense forest of the sea cliffs.
Of the millions of human cultivators, only one-tenth survived this battle.
Even added together, it's only a few hundred thousand.
Most of them are cultivators at the Qi Refinement Foundation Establishment stages, with very few at the Golden Core Nascent Soul.
Like the Demon Race, the human race also lacked a leader.
Those who have undergone the Great Cultivation of Void Return and Spirit Transformation have almost all set sail.
The Prince's Mansion no longer exists.
No one gave any orders.
They had no choice but to quietly return to the inland areas of the Western Continent with the few remaining Golden Core and Nascent Soul.
In the inland areas of the Western Continent, countless lives were lost.
Nine out of ten ordinary people live in poverty, and the same is true for cultivators.
The Lineage and sect no longer exist, and the former Jingxi Prefecture is now Savage Wilderness.
However, the remaining Sea Race that came ashore inexplicably adapted to life on land.
They settled and made their home on a large island near the Western Continent.
The entire Western Continent entered a tacitly agreed-upon state of rest and recuperation.
Unbeknownst to anyone, deep within the Demon Manor, a force known as the Litian Dao Court of Departure is expanding rapidly...
