After Chapter 266, everything truly depends on one's conscience.
After hearing Tianqi's words, Zhulong fell silent!
He probably knew these things too. Although the Myriad Dragon Abyss was deep and his true form was bound by the chains of the Heavenly Dao, Zhulong was no pushover either.
He could sense the general outline of battles between sages and the upheavals of the Heavenly Dao.
He just didn't expect the situation outside to have developed to this point!
According to Tianqi, the primordial world, including humanity and the underworld, has now been integrated by the Wu tribe. In that case...
There is definitely great potential there!
It's not impossible to directly squeeze the Heavenly Dao to the margins.
"So you mean..." Zhulong said slowly.
"Does humanity now possess the power to defy the will of Heaven?"
"The time isn't right yet, but we at least have the strength to fight."
Apocalypse smiled.
"If the dragon race joins now, it will be the first vassal race of the human race and the representative of humanity in the world."
In the future, when humanity flourishes, the dragon race will owe its existence to the contributions of humanity.
That's an immeasurable act of merit!
"But what if humanity fails?" Zhulong asked again.
"Pfft!"
As if he had heard something hilarious, Apocalypse couldn't help but burst out laughing.
It's really not Apocalypse's fault for losing his composure.
The main problem is that, given the current situation, even Apocalypse doesn't know how it can lose!
Unless Pangu suddenly logs out and kicks himself back to Earth!
But then humanity would be even less likely to lose.
The only one who lost was Tianqi...!
Tianqi noticed that the people around him were looking at him with suspicion.
Tianqi coughed lightly and said:
"Ahem, something happy just came to mind, let's get back to business!"
"Cough cough, even in the worst-case scenario, if humanity fails..."
The dragon race is merely maintaining the status quo, remaining locked up in the four seas!
There was no loss at all!
Apocalypse shrugged.
"Senior, no offense, but how many eons have the dragons been locked up here?"
Are you really willing to continue like this forever?
Are we just going to watch the dragon race continue to decline?!
Tianqi asked two questions in a row that hit Zhulong right where it hurts!
Am I willing to accept this? How could I possibly accept it!
He is Zhulong, a being of chaos, and how glorious he was when he led the dragon race!
Now they are locked in this dark and sunless abyss, watching the dragon race decline generation after generation.
From a primordial overlord to someone who can be commanded by any crumbling heavenly court.
A nobody that nobody dares to mess with!
What if I say no?
Zhulong stared at Tianqi with hostility, wanting to see how strong this member of the Witch Clan was.
"Are you going to take action now?"
Before Tianqi could speak, Sun Wukong stepped forward.
Wukong wasn't interested in all the rambling, reasoning.
But if you mention fighting, he gets really excited. Even if the dragon in front of him is his senior, Tianqi, he'll still call him "senior"!
He twirled the golden cudgel in his hand once, then dropped it to the ground.
"Thump—!"
The entire Wanlong Abyss trembled slightly.
Wukong unleashed his full power as a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal, a flash of chaotic light passing through his eyes.
The light was not conspicuous in the dark seabed, but it was still noticed by the Candle Dragon, whose eyes immediately narrowed.
"Old Dragon!"
Sun Wukong, looking incredibly cool, stared fearlessly at Zhulong.
"My martial uncle kindly advised me that this was giving the dragon race a chance."
Do you think we're scared?!
Ao Guang was so frightened that his legs went weak.
It wasn't just the aura of Wukong that frightened them; more so, it was the fact that this stone monkey dared to attack in front of their ancestor.
If the patriarch gets angry, won't it affect me?
Zhulong looked at the fearless Wukong, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes:
"Hmm? Formed from a Chaos Immortal Stone... a fusion of two sacred powers... peak Grand Luo Golden Immortal strength..."
Wow, it even has a familiar ancient chaotic aura!
That's not simple, not simple at all!
"Little one, what's your name?"
"My name is Sun Wukong, a disciple personally taught by the Sage Tongtian."
Sun Wukong held his head high, extremely proud.
"Oh! Tongtian's disciple?! Not bad, not bad!"
Zhulong murmured repeatedly, then suddenly laughed.
"The younger generation is truly formidable!"
He said that, but Zhulong felt very bitter inside. The dragon race was truly in decline!
This junior doesn't even take Zhulong seriously!
It really needs to change. In the past, the dragon race had such overwhelming karma that no one dared to recruit them.
Now that someone is finally willing to take over, if they can handle the deal, it's not something we can't consider!
Silence, a long silence.
Neither side made any further moves, each with their own thoughts.
The only sound in the abyss was the faint sound of the flowing seawater.
After a while, when even the Wukong pose was getting a little tiring,
Zhulong finally spoke:
"What's the basis for your claim that the human race's destiny can weaken the shackles of Heaven?"
Upon hearing this, Tianqi knew that the other side had relented. He immediately raised his hand and once again mobilized the human race's fortune from his clone.
A beam of golden light struck the chains on the Candle Dragon's body.
"Sizzle—"
As the golden light entered, black smoke immediately billowed from the chains.
Although it recovered quickly, in that instant, Zhulong did indeed sense a slight loosening of the chains.
It's like dumping two buckets of nuclear wastewater into the ocean. Although the ocean looks almost unchanged, the radiation is definitely there.
"This is..."
Zhulong's eyes lit up, thinking that it really worked.
It seems the human race's fortune is somewhat incompatible with the Heavenly Dao!
"Human destiny is the best counter to the shackles of karma," Apocalypse explained.
"Because humans do not believe in fate, do not accept fate, and only believe that human will can overcome fate."
The fortune formed under such a spirit and will
It has a natural restraining effect on constraints such as those imposed by the Heavenly Way.
"Actions speak louder than words," Tianqi said, and then unleashed another golden light, which this time entered Zhulong's body directly.
As the golden light entered his body, Zhulong trembled violently.
This time, he clearly felt it.
The karmic shackles that had plagued him for countless eons had truly loosened a little.
Although it was only a trace, it was like a lifeline for Zhulong, who was almost in despair.
"If the dragon race were fully connected with the human race's destiny,"
Apocalypse continued to strike while the iron was hot.
"The weakening speed of these shackles will be thousands or even tens of thousands of times faster."
Perhaps it won't be long before he regains his freedom.
"Not long" is a very short time.
Thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or just a few cycles?
Tianqi didn't say it explicitly, but Zhulong could guess the general idea.
For ordinary living beings, tens of thousands of years is a long time.
But for a chaotic being like Zhulong, it was just the time it took to take a nap.
Zhulong was truly moved at this moment, and closed his eyes.
He was weighing his options, struggling with the decision.
On one side was the oppressive aura of the Heavenly Saint.
Once it is discovered that the dragon race has turned towards humanity, action will inevitably be taken.
On one side is the olive branch extended by humanity.
Although the risks are huge, the rewards are also tempting, after all, it's freedom!
How long has it been since I heard this word?!
The key now lies in whether humanity will genuinely protect the dragon race, since the two sides have had virtually no interaction before.
From now on, I'll rely entirely on my conscience.
