Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

"The Great Zhou Dynasty now appears to be very similar to the myriad races. The major powers have joined forces to form an alliance. However, unlike the myriad races, where no one submits to anyone else and there is no leader, the Great Zhou Dynasty's alliance will be led by the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Qinglian Academy goes without saying. These two super powers have been on good terms and have a very close relationship since ancient times."

"The Snow Moon Holy Land and the Northern Wei Dynasty, these two super powers, also follow the lead of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is just the beginning. Now the great trend is coming, and everyone has already realized it. The myriad races have already banded together."

"In order to prepare for the arrival of the Great Era, the major powers will inevitably form an alliance and make changes, just like the myriad races. If we have to choose to form a group, which side do you think we should choose first?"

Ye Kaitai looked at Ye Qingshan and said meaningfully.

Ye Qingshan pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "Naturally, it is the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Great Zhou Dynasty has now formed an alliance and is extremely powerful. In all aspects, it is the top existence in the Nine Realms."

"The younger generation has the Great Zhou Dynasty that overwhelms all others, while the older generation has Xuanjizi who sweeps across the entire Nine Netherworld and possesses three Emperor-level divine weapons. The Qinglian Academy and the Northern Wei Dynasty are also following closely behind, looking up to his lead."

"If you were to choose which side to join, the Great Zhou Dynasty would undoubtedly be our first choice."

At this point, Ye Qingshan's gaze deepened, and his expression changed constantly.

"The Great Zhou Dynasty started planning this a long time ago, and began to take the lead in all of this several years ago. In fact, the major changes in the situation also started with the Great Zhou Dynasty."

It was no secret that the Heavenly Demon Realm had joined forces with several major powers to deal with the Great Zhou Dynasty; the news had already spread.

Therefore, Ye Qingshan suddenly realized that the change in the overall situation began from this moment, and it was also from here that the Great Zhou Dynasty fully demonstrated its overwhelming strength, occupying a position above these super powers in an invincible manner.

Both the fall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the fall of the Golden Crow Clan were led by the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After these events, the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Snow Moon Holy Land also chose to stand on the side of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Although it wasn't made public, their actions spoke volumes. Knowing the changing tides, these two superpowers must have a close relationship with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingshan couldn't help but gasp. It turned out that the Great Zhou Dynasty had started planning everything a long time ago.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has now successfully laid its groundwork. Unless those major forbidden zones intervene, even if they join forces with all the races, the alliance will find it difficult to pose a threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In addition, the changes in the overall situation will inevitably lead the major super powers to find ways to change. With the previous arrangements of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will certainly do better than other super powers in the subsequent changes.

"Now, the Great Zhou Dynasty is far ahead. The tide of the times is crashing against us, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is riding the waves. Now, no one can stop it."

Ye Kaitai sighed helplessly and said, "We have already missed the opportunity and can no longer do what the Great Zhou Dynasty did. If we want to dominate everything now, we will inevitably be unable to overcome the Great Zhou Dynasty."

In fact, the Ye family has great ambitions. They do not want to be subordinate to others. They want to join forces with the All-Race Alliance and other super powers, and then form a powerful alliance with them as the leader.

However, with the Great Zhou Dynasty in front of them, achieving this would be extremely difficult. Unless some super powers were to become enemies with the Great Zhou Dynasty, they would have no chance at all.

This is also Ye Kaitai's biggest dilemma: he wants to join the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he doesn't want to be subordinate to it.

"Father, what should we do?"

"Should we seek an alliance with a super power like the other races or the Great Zhou Dynasty, or join the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Ye Qingshan asked. They didn't have many choices now; one was to join the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the other was to establish their own independent power.

Of course, people as proud and arrogant as them would find it difficult to humble themselves before others.

"We don't need to make a fuss. We can just join the Great Zhou Dynasty. We have no other choice now. Besides, hiding under the wings of the Great Zhou Dynasty might not be a bad thing for us."

Ye Kaitai looked calm and said indifferently, "Joining the Great Zhou Dynasty is actually a good choice for us. At least we have the Great Zhou Dynasty supporting us, which allows us to develop in the background and find an opportunity to take over later."

The Great Zhou Dynasty, the Seven Nights Prince's Mansion.

After the great war ended, the entire Nine Netherworld was shaken, with storms brewing and undercurrents surging.

In order to counter the impending major trend, all the major superpowers are seeking change.

However, compared to the hustle and bustle outside, the Seven Nights Prince's Mansion was extremely peaceful and completely unaffected.

On this day, Emperor Yuan arrived at the Seven Nights Palace somewhat wearily, lay down directly on a recliner next to Li Qiye, and sighed:
"Just as you predicted, the major powers began to contact us after that. We all wanted to form an alliance with us like the myriad races. Even the Ye family sent a request."

During this period, all the major powers wanted to form an alliance with the Great Zhou Dynasty, keeping Li Xuanyuan extremely busy.

This was a significant matter, and Emperor Yuan couldn't respond immediately.

"I didn't expect the Ye family to send a request as well."

Li Qiye lay comfortably in the chair and said calmly, "However, Father, you can refuse the Ye family. The Ye family is no good. They seem low-key, but they are actually very ambitious and have always wanted to replace our Great Zhou Dynasty or be above us."

"If we agree to their demands, they might stab us in the back later, just like when you faced the Heavenly Demon Sect."

In the original novel, the Ye family had a strong presence in the later stages and was extremely active throughout the Nine Netherworld.

There was another reason why Li Qiye hated the Ye family so much: when the ancient emperors ran rampant in the later stages and devoured all living beings in the Nine Netherworld, the Ye family not only did not intervene, but also helped those ancient emperors devour all living beings, making them nothing more than human traitors.

The Ye family also found a patron, an ancient emperor.

Once it attacks, that ancient emperor will inevitably retaliate.

"Should we refuse the Ye family?"

"The Ye family is extremely powerful. If they join our camp, our chances of winning will be much greater."

Emperor Yuan hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Although the Ye family keeps a low profile, their strength is undeniable, second only to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"I don't think we have a better chance of winning; we'll die even faster. The Ye family is ambitious and will never be content to be subservient. If they find an opportunity in the future, they will definitely stab us in the back and replace us." (End of Chapter)
