Chapter 2065: Surrender
Xuanhuang Mountain is still glorious, but there is an invisible heaviness in the atmosphere.
"Do you dragons want to surrender to the Heavenly Court?"
Hearing the story of the Dragon King of the South Sea, the ancestor Qilin frowned.
This matter sounds a bit unexpected at first, but it makes sense when you think about it carefully. The times are different now. The glory of the dragons has long passed. The Heavenly Court, or the Longhu Mountain, Taoism, and Buddhism behind it, are the overlords of this era.
With the current strength of the dragons, if they are cautious and guard their own land, they can still live a stable life for a period of time, but that's all. As time goes by, their decline is almost inevitable, and the destruction of the Dragons of the East Sea and the Dragon King of the North Sea has exacerbated this change.
If the dragons want to change the status quo, complete the recovery, obey the trend, and integrate into the Heavenly Court, the only choice is to do so. If they have any unrealistic fantasies again, they will definitely suffer.
"Yes, the situation has changed. My dragon clan has fallen behind a lot. We can't continue to sink like this."
Facing the gaze of the Qilin Patriarch, the Dragon King of the South China Sea gave the most resolute answer.
Now he has inherited the destiny of the infinite sky, and he has become a golden immortal. He has a little confidence. Ordinary golden immortals can't do anything to him. Even if they can't beat him, they can escape. The most important thing is that he has the destiny of heaven. Anyone who wants to deal with him must be cautious.
Although it is naturally no problem for the Taiyi in the Taixuan Realm to deal with him, he believes that he is not worth it for them to do so. After all, the current Taixuan Realm seems stable, but in fact it is still full of crises, and the peeping from the chaos has never decreased.
He believes that as long as he is sensible enough, no Taiyi will embarrass him at this critical juncture regardless of his own backlash.
Looking at the Dragon King of the South China Sea like this, the Qilin Patriarch did not speak for a while, and his brows were getting tighter and tighter.
"Saint King, the human race in Taixuan Realm is strong and the demon race is weak. Although you have been actively promoting the plan of integrating the demon race into the human race, there are still differences between the two. Only when we have enough power can we have real say, at least we will not be trampled on at will."
"As long as my dragon race can successfully integrate into the heaven, you and I can work together to make the demon race truly stand firm in the heaven, so as not to be completely reduced to cannon fodder in the future war."
The Dragon King of the South China Sea further expressed his views.
Hearing this, the heart of the Qilin Patriarch was touched.
Lonely and alone, this is his true feeling. Although he is one of the Four Heavenly Emperors, he actually does not have much say in many cases. Among the eight golden immortals in the heaven, the real pure demons are actually only him and Hongyun, but Hongyun was born in Longhu Mountain, so his position is different.
In fact, if it weren't for the support of Longhu Mountain, he wouldn't have been able to hold the position of the Four Imperials. In return, he has been promoting the integration of the demon race and the human race over the years, allowing more demons to take the path of transformation and become part of the human race.
This is a new way out he found for the demon race. Although this plan is good, it is undeniable that there are many obstacles in the process of promotion. After all, the human and demon races have been fighting for so many years, and the gap has long been deep. It is difficult for both the pure human race and the demon race to reverse it for a while.
Not to mention the demons that have not yet transformed, even those demon fairies that have transformed are difficult to be accepted by the orthodox human race for a while. Some extreme humans even feel ashamed of this and vow to kill the demon fairies, which has caused many conflicts. In this process, the demon race is often the one who suffers.
The Qilin Patriarch knew all this, but he was powerless to change it. This was the nature of all spirits, but he could not change it. He could only rely on time to polish it. Perhaps after several epochs, the old generation would be silent, and the new generation would come to the stage. The transformed demon race would be truly accepted and become a branch of the human race.
Of course, in this process, if the power of the demon race could be stronger, then less blood would be shed and a higher status would be obtained.
"If the dragon race can join the heaven, it would be a good thing for the demon race, but..."
His eyes fell on the Dragon King of the South China Sea. Although the Qilin Patriarch was somewhat moved, he was still a little hesitant, because the dragon race was too domineering in the past, but it offended many people, including Longhu Mountain.
"Saint King, my ancestor is about to return, and his Dao fruit will be completed. It is only a matter of time before he establishes the Dao of heaven and earth and ascends to Taiyi."
Looking at the still hesitant Qilin Patriarch, the Dragon King of the South China Sea revealed the last trump card.
With a wave of his dragon claws, a wisp of ancient and vast aura emerged. At this moment, Qilin Patriarch saw a real dragon sleeping on the Dragon Gate, which was like the ancestor of all dragons, domineering and powerful.
"Dragon Ancestor, it's really Dragon Ancestor."
Upon realizing the existence of Dragon Ancestor, Qilin Patriarch's expression suddenly changed.
Before Zhang Chunyi developed the Golden Elixir Method, only one Golden Immortal could be born in an era in Taixuan Realm. Each of them was the darling of the era, the pride of heaven and earth, with a profound foundation to the extreme. It can be said that each of them was the seed of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and their potential was incomparable to ordinary Golden Immortals.
Except for the fallen Demon Ancestor, White Lotus Mother and the fallen Dragon Ancestor, the other epoch masters basically succeeded in ascending Taiyi, but some of them ended up not so well, such as Emperor Ying, who was killed just after condensing the Heavenly Emperor Fruition, and the Golden Light Taoist, who finally stepped into the realm of Taiyi, but was filled with the sea eye in the blink of an eye.
But no matter what, the proportion of ascending to Taiyi is extremely terrifying. From this perspective, if the Dragon Ancestor really returns successfully, the possibility of him ascending to Taiyi is extremely high.
"Is he really back?"
Thinking of the possible impact of the return of the Dragon Ancestor, the mind of the Qilin Patriarch fluctuated violently. Looking at such a Qilin Patriarch, the Dragon King of the South China Sea did not feel too much surprise. When he learned that his ancestor was about to return, he was also not calm.
"I will convene the Heavenly Court Council to discuss this matter, but the final result is uncertain."
With a sharp look in his eyes, the Qilin Patriarch finally made a decision.
If there is really one more Taiyi, it will be a good thing for both the demon clan and the current Taixuan Realm. As for whether it can be accommodated or not, it is not a problem. According to his understanding, the eyes of the Supreme Taoist Lord are no longer limited to one realm. Although he is a little bit grudge-holding, he can also tolerate people.
If not, then the Jin Guang Taoist would not be as simple as filling the sea eye, and although the Dragon Clan and Longhu Mountain had some entanglements in the past, it was not an unresolvable hatred.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the Dragon Clan knows what to do and does not do anything that should not be done, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable.
After getting such an answer, the big stone in the heart of the Dragon King of the South China Sea finally fell.
"In that case, I'll trouble you, Saint King."
With a smile on his face, the Dragon King of the South China Sea bowed solemnly to the Kirin Ancestor. The Dragon Clan wanted to integrate into the Heavenly Court, and the Kirin Ancestor, as one of the Four Imperial Guardians, was a good entry point.
