The Dragon Clan Submitted to the Human Race

"You are descendants of the ancient Dragon Clan, after all."

"The ancient Dragon Clan stood proud and unrivaled in the Primordial World, one of the rulers of heaven and earth. Now, with you, how have you come to willingly become fish on someone else's chopping block? You truly make my blood boil!"

It was no wonder Ye Xuan was angry. He had transmigrated here, after all.

Influenced by all sorts of culture, he had an inexplicable, natural fondness for dragons.

Now the Dragon Clan of the Primordial World was in such a miserable state. How could he not be angry?

The Dragon King lowered his eyes submissively.

"Your Majesty, since the Dragon-Han Calamity, the Dragon Clan has suffered a cruel fate. As we struggled to cling to life, we lost the backbone of the ancient Dragon Clan. We have disappointed Your Majesty!"

Ye Xuan looked down and cast a sidelong glance at the despicable dragon, somewhat frustrated that he had failed to live up to his potential.

"Since you have decided to seek refuge with the Human Clan, we will naturally protect your Dragon Clan."

"The fortune of our Human Clan will naturally open wide the doors of opportunity for your Dragon Clan as well, helping you rise again."

"If Haotian Shangdi dares send people to demand blood food from you again, simply kill them on the spot. Whatever problems arise, I am the sovereign of heaven and earth, and I will naturally shoulder them for you!"

"Besides, since your Four Seas Dragon Clan has shown such sincerity, I am no miser."

"From this day forth, all the waters on the land of the Primordial World will become part of your Dragon Clan's territory."

Hearing this, Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea was instantly stunned.

Then tears began streaming down his aged face.

Was His Majesty the Human Emperor truly so generous?

The waters on the land of the Primordial World were no small matter.

Like a heavenly net, they covered nearly the entire Primordial World.

Abysses, great rivers, waterways and lakes were beyond counting.

It could almost be said that this heavenly net of waters was in no way inferior to the four seas.

And now these waters had become the Dragon Clan's territory?

From now on, would the Dragon Clan govern not only the four seas, but the waters on land as well?

One had to understand that even when the Dragon Clan was at its most prosperous in ancient times,

it had never managed to take control of the waters on land.

With those waters, the Dragon Clan would have no more worries at its back.

Even if Haotian Shangdi personally attacked the four seas,

the Dragon Clan could travel upstream along the rivers and reach the waters of the Primordial World.

Those waters were like a heavenly net. Where would Haotian look for them?

Besides, the land of the Primordial World was the Human Emperor's territory. Haotian could not be allowed to run wild there.

With the waters of the Primordial World, the Dragon Clan could almost be said to be able to attack when advancing and defend when retreating, with no more worries at its back.

Who was the Human Emperor?

The Human Emperor was the sovereign of heaven and earth. He embodied the fortune of the Human Clan, and the will of heaven and earth followed him.

In a certain sense, the Human Emperor's words were the will of heaven and earth.

Even Haotian Shangdi, personally appointed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, had no such means.

At the thought, Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea could not help sobbing uncontrollably. He prostrated himself deeply on the ground in submission.

Dragon King Ao Guang was filled with admiration.

The Human Emperor had not only bestowed Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood upon him, but had also opened wide the doors of opportunity through the fortune of the Human Clan, helping the Dragon Clan rise again. Now he had even bestowed the waters of the Primordial World upon the Dragon Clan.

Compared with the Human Emperor, Haotian Shangdi was truly a tyrant.

Ye Xuan looked at the Dragon King kneeling on the ground and spoke solemnly.

"Of course, this is not without conditions. I need your Dragon Clan to ensure favorable wind and rain across the land of the Primordial World. If the Human Clan needs you in war, your Dragon Clan must send its hidden dragons out of the abyss to fight for me. Are you willing?"

Hearing the Human Emperor's question, Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea did not hesitate. He transformed into a streak of light and shot into the sky above Chaoge. Then an incomparably powerful voice rang out through heaven and earth:

"I am Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea. Here in Chaoge, I swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao: I, Ao Guang, together with the Four Seas Dragon Clan, submit to the Human Clan from this day forth and shall obey the Human Emperor's will. Should we break this oath, the Dragon Clan, from highest to lowest, shall suffer eternal damnation and be utterly annihilated!!!"

"May the Great Dao of heaven and earth bear witness--------"

The voice rumbled like thunder across the land of the Primordial World.

In an instant, the many great powers who had been watching the Dragon King enter Chaoge were all in an uproar.

Who could have imagined that the Four Seas Dragon Clan would now submit to the Human Clan?

The Dragon Clan had once committed monstrous slaughter and was a clan burdened with sin for all eternity.

The reason the Dragon Clan had been allowed to survive in the Primordial World,

and to continue its bloodline,

was chiefly that the Dragon Clan still held the duty of overseeing the rain!

Yet the clan had always been kept under the watch of numerous great powers.

None had expected the old Dragon King to choose outright to submit to the Human Clan.

Was the Dragon King trying to break out of his predicament this way?

At that moment, many great powers were shaken.

Sect Master Tongtian, in Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island, was also somewhat shocked.

After the shock came a faint trace of joy.

Sect Master Tongtian had been forced by his two elder brothers to sign for the Kalpa of the Investiture of the Gods.

As a player in the struggle over this kalpa, Sect Master Tongtian naturally knew that his Interception Sect had some connection to Yin Shang.

The stronger Yin Shang became, the more the Interception Sect would benefit.

Although the Dragon Clan's strength was not particularly impressive, its numbers were fortunately not small, making it a useful force.

Sect Master Tongtian was indeed somewhat delighted.

In Wa Huang Palace, Empress Nuwa wore a thoughtful expression.

The Dragon King's inexplicable transformation from mortal to true dragon was probably connected to the Human Emperor.

The Dragon Clan's submission to the Human Clan was clearly also the Human Emperor's doing.

The current Human Emperor possessed the ability to see through the future.

Naturally, he also knew that the Kalpa of the Investiture of the Gods was about to begin.

The Dragon Clan's submission to the Human Clan was probably a means by which the Human Emperor had already begun building bridges and paving roads for himself, preparing to break out of the predicament.

At this thought, Nuwa was somewhat moved.

The little fellow really had not disappointed her.

"I wonder if this little fellow has any other means besides the Dragon Clan?"

Empress Nuwa murmured to herself.

Empress Nuwa knew that the Human Emperor possessed the ability to see into the future.

Thus, she naturally had special expectations of him.

Just as the many powerful figures of the Primordial World were reeling in shock,

the Human Emperor's voice drifted out:

"I am Di Xin of Shang, the current Human Emperor. In the name of the Human Emperor, with the fortune of the Human Clan and the will of the Great Dao, I shall protect the Dragon Clan, eliminate its endless karmic burdens, and lead it to redeem its crimes through meritorious deeds, rooting out villains and eradicating evil to wipe away its ill repute. May heaven and earth bear witness!!!"

The Human Emperor's voice was not very loud. If anything, it was somewhat gentle.

But after that voice rang out,

winds swept away the clouds above the Primordial World, and dragons and serpents rose from the earth.

The boundless phenomena shifted in countless ways.

Somewhere unseen, a will seemed to rumble unceasingly in the depths of the void.

The Human Emperor's words had clearly stirred the Great Dao of heaven and earth.

Although the Great Dao rumbled without cease, there was ultimately no other response.

It seemed to have tacitly accepted the Human Emperor's words.

Just then, however, another voice came from the ends of heaven and earth, rumbling without cease above Chaoge.
