First Kneel, Then Cry, Then "Have Pity on Me"

Listening to Long Yi's conversation with the Longwang Clan gave him a bad feeling.

This matter will likely end up being left unresolved again.

I initially thought the Dragon Ancestor's stance would be firm, but now it seems they are perhaps a bit conservative.

The Dragon Race has existed in the world for so many years, and has had countless conflicts with the Human Race, yet it has always continued to exist, ever-renewing itself. It has never feared the past, so why should it fear this time?

Of course, thinking about it is one thing, saying it is another.

At that moment, Long Xiao said:

"With your strength, why worry so much about these Dragon Race? Besides, the Dragon Race are quite powerful today, and they have a good relationship with the other three Sacred Beast Race."

"Now that we have Atavism to its ancestral form, the situation is extremely favorable. Why should we be so afraid of Human Race?"

As his voice faded, the dragons' gazes shifted from Long Xiao to Long Yi.

Long Yi looked at Long Xiao, remained silent for a moment, and then said:

What you said makes sense.

"But now, precisely because of this Atavism, he is extremely important."

"The Human Race can't possibly be unaware of how important this is to our Beast Race, and how much of a threat Human Race to them."

"In the past, these might have been minor skirmishes, but this time, the conflict between the Beast Race and Human Race, regardless of victory or defeat, could be a matter of life and death."

"The legend of the Human Emperor has been circulating among the Human Race for a long time, but this is the first time that something like the Human Emperor Inheritance has appeared in the world. Whether it's true or false, it's enough to show the determination of the Human Race."

"Not to mention,"

Long Yi paused, then gently shook his head:

"Although I am now very strong, time waits for no dragon. With my remaining lifespan, I fear I will not be able to protect the Atavism until it fully grows up."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the dragons present changed slightly.

The Longwang Clan immediately spoke up, saying:

"Dragon Ancestor, how is this possible! You're perfectly fine right now!"

Long Yi smiled:

"As the Dragon Ancestor, I represent the dignity of the Dragon Ancestor. Even if I am weak, how could I appear in a listless and dejected state?"

After saying that, he changed the subject:

"Let's leave that aside for now and talk about the matter of the atavistic baby dragon."

Where is he now?

Getting to the point, all the dragons turned their attention back to the Longwang Clan.

Longwang Clan glanced at Long Yi, then at the other dragons present, and said:

"In my opinion, I should only explain this matter to the Dragon Ancestor, and I believe that he can explain it clearly. But as for the matter of the egg just now, if I don't tell you, I'm afraid that you will start to have doubts in your hearts and believe the slander of the Human Race."

"So I'll stop hiding it and tell you the truth."

"But after you understand the situation, you'd better calm down."

After speaking, Longwang Clan paused for about Sanxi before continuing:

"The reason I haven't shown you the Atavism or taken pictures of it is that it's never actually in my possession."

Shu Long's expression changed slightly, and Long Xiao murmured, "As expected."

"The Atavism is with the White Tiger Clan."

"Furthermore, it hasn't fully hatched yet."

"You can't force a hatching; you can only wait," Longwang Clan, shaking his head gently.

"As for why I didn't tell you the truth,"

Longwang Clan paused briefly, then raised his voice slightly:

"Don't forget, the White Tiger Clan's ability to Atavism was likely due to Human Race intervention. I may not care how they accomplished our Dragon Race's Atavism, but don't you care?"

"Whether you consider Human Race or the White Tiger Clan, perhaps you think that the fate of our Dragon Race should not be restricted by other races?"

"But we have no choice in this matter; relying solely on our Dragon Race, it will likely take some more time."

"But by then, I fear that among the four Sacred Beast Race, my Dragon Race will be far behind!"

After the Longwang Clan finished speaking, his gaze slowly swept over all the dragons present.

"I know you're all eager to see the Atavism with your own eyes, I'm even more anxious than you are."

"But the time isn't right yet. If I were to show you, what could I possibly show you?"

"I'm just showing you an egg!"

"But would that satisfy you?"

After speaking, Youlong hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Dragon Emperor, we would be very satisfied if we could just see the egg."

"You're satisfied with just looking at an egg?"

The Longwang Clan laughed:

"You've all seen my egg. Now, can any of you honestly say that you've completely ignored the rumors and gossip about Human Race, and haven't considered why you couldn't find any writing on my egg?"

The dragon that had spoken suddenly fell silent.

Whether he should say it or not, he had actually thought about it.

The other dragons were also filled with unease at this moment.

Most of them realized a very crucial problem.

How can they be sure, just by looking at photos or eggs, that what hatches will definitely be Atavism?

If they believe it's true enough, they won't have any doubts.

But if there's even the slightest doubt, it's indeed very difficult to determine whether something is true or false.

"But why didn't you make these things clear from the beginning?"

Seeing that many people around him were in a state of reflection, Long Xiao immediately spoke up.

"I made it clear from the beginning simply to give you a general idea, so that you wouldn't be anxious in vain when news of the White Tiger Clan and Vermilion Bird Race's descendants Atavism forms comes out," the Longwang Clan responded.

"But even if we tell the truth, so what? It's not like we can't accept it." Long Xiao pressed on relentlessly.

Longwang Clan gave Long Xiao a deep look:

"I only delayed things a little longer, and you've already started to have all sorts of doubts and speculations, even readily believing rumors about the Human Race."

"I ask you, can you truly do what you say and completely accept it?"

Long Xiao's expression changed slightly. At this moment, Longwang Clan seemed to have suddenly become more assertive.

Did they suddenly gain confidence, or was it all planned from the beginning?

In this situation, I'm only making myself look like I'm too suspicious!

But he did all this solely for the sake of the Dragon Race!

"Alright."

Long Yi spoke up:

"Now is not the time for arguing; I only care about one thing."

"When Atavism hatch? When will everyone be able to see it?"

Upon hearing this, Longwang Clan pondered for a moment, quickly calculating in his mind.

On our side, Ten Thousand Scale Armor should try his best to finish things off as soon as possible.

The biggest variable lies with Lu Lulu's descendants.

If the other party cooperates, it certainly won't take too long.

However, if the other party is uncooperative, then it will inevitably take a long time, and even whether it will work at all is a question.

We need the other party's cooperation!

But how can we maximize the chances of getting the other party to cooperate?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Longwang Clan.

First kneel, then cry, then plead, "Have pity on me!"

If all else fails, like father, like son, so I'll go all out and cater to their tastes by getting them to carve a word on it too!

With this thought in mind, the Longwang Clan made up their minds.

At that moment, his gaze swept over the dragons, he took a deep breath, and said:

"I know you've waited too long and some of you find it hard to accept that I told you it would take ten days."

"Alright, I'll go to the White Tiger Clan right away and personally urge them on. If it's feasible, I'll help them personally."

"Do everything possible to compress the timeframe to five days."

"It would be good to let you see our Atavism descendants sooner, wouldn't you say?"
