Chapter 2001: Holding the Future
This was Zulong's way of compromise. If he surrendered to the Saint Master Shiyuan and obeyed his orders, he still couldn't let go of his face. But if he took the Saint Master as his teacher, it would sound better to say it to others.
How could Saint Shiyuan not know about this? He knew Zulong's plan as soon as he heard it.
"Well, after I help your dragon race survive this catastrophe, you will worship me as your master and listen to my teachings. As my disciple, no one can continue to bully your dragon race. I have fully understood the infinite three thousand laws, and now I have fully understood the three thousand laws of the prehistoric world. Even Hongjun comprehended the laws of the infinite world with my help. But I didn't expect that he would be recognized by the infinite universe and become the protagonist of the infinite world. He also returned to the prehistoric world and competed with me. He is looking for death!"
The Saint Lord Shi Yuan was extremely dissatisfied with Hongjun's return to the prehistoric world. He had long regarded the prehistoric world as his own possession. Hongjun wanted to compete with him for it, so he became his biggest enemy.
"Can the Holy Lord actually instill the law into Hongjun?"
Zulong was shocked, and only then did he understand why Hongjun achieved the Dao of Hunyuan so quickly. It turned out that it was because of the Saint Lord Shiyuan. Moreover, the other party could also help Hongjun instill his understanding of the laws. This was too incredible.
“Humph, I just made a deal with him at the beginning, but I didn’t expect it would cause such a big trouble. Well, although I have instilled the three thousand laws of the Infinite World into Hongjun, I still master the mysteries of the laws of the Infinite World. He is no match for me! Zulong, quickly ring the Dragon Gathering Bell to gather the dragons of the four seas, so as to avoid being defeated one by one. When you gather the dragons of the four seas, I will personally take action!”
Not long after, a melodious bell sounded in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea. The sound of the bell was extremely magical. Although it rang in the East China Sea, it spread to the other three oceans at an incredible speed along the connection of the sea water.
The Dragon Palaces in the South Sea, West Sea and North Sea immediately heard the ringing of the Dragon Gathering Bell.
Aangangang...!
Countless dragon roars sounded in the depths of the three oceans. The Ancestral Dragon in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea waved his hand, and a towering giant gate rose above the huge square outside the Dragon Palace.
On the doorposts on both sides of the giant gate are carved endless dragon shadows, as well as images of aquatic creatures in the world. In the center of the square giant gate is a rapidly rotating vortex, and surging space waves are rippling in the vortex.
"Dragon Gate!"
Saint Shi Yuan seemed to know the dragon clan very well and he recognized the origin of this huge gate at a glance. It was the dragon clan’s treasure, the Dragon Gate.
Longmen is the most precious treasure of the dragon clan of the four seas. This treasure can transform all the aquatic creatures in the world into real dragons and become a member of the dragon clan. When the Ancestral Dragon offered sacrifices to the heavens and established the Ancestral Dragon Avenue, he promised all living beings in the prehistoric world that as long as they practiced the Ancestral Dragon Avenue, they could transform into real dragons. This was not exaggeration.
But because of the existence of Longmen, this can indeed be achieved.
As long as one has dragon blood, no matter how thin the blood is, after practicing the Ancestral Dragon Avenue, one can transform into a real dragon through the Dragon Gate and make his extremely thin dragon blood become pure.
This is a treasure that can ensure the eternal survival of the dragon race for eternity.
As long as the Dragon Gate is not lost, the dragon race will be immortal.
"Your Majesty has good eyesight, it is Dragon Gate!"
Zulong was also a little surprised that Saint Shiyuan actually knew Longmen.
"I am the Golden Immortal of the Primordial World and the Lord of the Samsara. After the dead members of your dragon race enter the Samsara, I can master the secrets in their memories. Of course, it's not just you dragon race that are like this, all the races in the prehistoric world are like this. Even though I am a person from the Infinite World and I transformed my foundation to become a prehistoric spirit, even you don't know as much about the prehistoric world as I do!"
"Hiss!" Zulong and Zhulong's pupils shrank and they took a deep breath. It turned out that Shiyuan Shengzun, the Lord of Reincarnation, could do such an incredible thing.
As long as someone has a clear and conscious spirit who enters the land of reincarnation, he can know all the secrets of that person's life. In this case, what secrets can there be in the vast world for him?
How many lives have died since the beginning of the world? Countless!
After these creatures died, their spiritual consciousness gathered in the sea of blood. Some of them became materials for the ancestor of the Styx to create the Blood Sea Shura, while the rest were reincarnated after the Saint Venerable Shiyuan opened up the cycle of reincarnation.
And those memories of spiritual consciousness were all known to Saint Shi Yuan, which allowed him to indirectly grasp most of the secrets of the prehistoric world from the creation of the world to the present.
"This is nothing. Don't forget that I am the Lord of the Reincarnation. I have the absolute power to decide who the conscious and enlightened beings who enter the Reincarnation will be reincarnated into in the next life. They can be mortals, ants, birds, beasts, and even divine beasts. Of course, they can also be reincarnated into your dragon clan. As long as I am willing, the number of your dragon clan can skyrocket in a short period of time and increase countless times. What do you think? Do you still feel unwilling now?"
There was a flash of deep shock in Zulong's eyes, and the resentment in his heart had long disappeared. Only then did he understand the terrifying nature of Shiyuan Shengzun, the Lord of Reincarnation.
If the other party masters reincarnation, it means that he masters all the races in the world. With just a thought, he can make a certain race become extinct, and no new members of the race will be born. With just a thought, he can make an insignificant race grow and multiply and become the largest race in the world.
This authority is so terrifying!
Some ethnic groups that are not in the cycle of reincarnation are not afraid of this, such as the witch clan. The birth of the witch clan does not rely on reincarnation. They were all created by the twelve ancestor witches through the Pangu Temple.
Therefore, they are not held hostage by the Holy Lord Shiyuan, but how many other tribes are there like the Wu Tribe?
Before, Zulong was very dissatisfied with the tough behavior of Saint Shiyuan. After all, the other party was taking advantage of the situation. But after understanding the power of Saint Shiyuan, he was willing to accept the other party's rule.
If they join the other party's army, the number of dragons will skyrocket in the future. As long as the other party thinks about it, they can make the spiritual consciousness that enters the underworld reincarnate as a dragon.
In a sense, the Holy Lord Shi Yuan, who has mastered the power of reincarnation, has already grasped the future of the prehistoric world in his hands. He can determine the future trend of the prehistoric world and manipulate the future course of the prehistoric world at will. If he wants a certain ethnic group to dominate the prehistoric world, he can do it. If he wants a certain ethnic group to be extinct, he can make that ethnic group extinct.
No wonder he wanted to master the reincarnation authority of the Central Great World and the Void World. If he controlled the reincarnation authority of the three realms, no one would be able to compete with him.
The more Zulong thought about it, the more excited he became. He seemed to see a scene in the future where the number of dragons would increase countless times and become the largest clan in the prehistoric world.
Seeing the expectation in Zulong's eyes, Shiyuan Saint Venerable laughed and said, "It seems that you understand. Very good. As my first disciple, your future is not just as simple as being the master of the dragon clan. It is easy to achieve the Dao of Hunyuan and even become a saint and an ancestor! And I will become the ancestor of the prehistoric Dao and dominate the prehistoric world!"
Just as Saint Shiyuan was laughing wildly, the towering Dragon Gate shook, and countless real dragons crossed the endless distance through the Dragon Gate and came to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. They came from the South Sea, the West Sea, or the North Sea. The number was so huge that it was jaw-dropping.
To be honest, although the dragon clan of the four seas has experienced many disasters, its foundation is still there. With the protection of Zulong and Zhulong, the foundation of the dragon clan is still extremely terrifying. The number of clan members alone is an astonishing number.
