My clan is super powerful

Upon hearing Ao Guang's request, Zhang Zhi turned to look at him and said, "You must know about the twelve dynasties of the Qi Refining Minor World, right?"

"But you probably didn't know the meaning of the Twelve Dynasties before."

"The meaning of 'twelve dynasties' is the total number of all the countries under me that have a dynasty name."

"In my future world, there will definitely be many countries established by various races."

"However, there are only twelve countries that can have a national title."

"The Jin Kingdom of the demon race is currently the sixth kingdom in history."

"I only have six country titles left."

"Given the current situation of the Wu Clan, it's safe to say they've already reserved a country name from me!"

"That leaves only five country names."

"If you want to take a kingdom from me, simply unifying the entire dragon race and becoming the king of the dragons is not enough!"

Upon hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Ao Guang's eyes widened in disbelief, and he exclaimed, "What?"

"Your Majesty, you will only bestow titles upon twelve countries in total?"

"And now there are only five left?"

"So that's how the twelve dynasties came about?"

Then he muttered to himself, "That old white elephant really got a great deal this time."

Zhang Zhi ignored Ao Guang's mutterings and continued, "So, if you want a national title, you'd better produce results that will impress me!"

Ao Guang blinked and asked timidly, "Your Excellency, what kind of achievement would make you take notice?"

After looking Ao Guang up and down, Zhang Zhi said, "Actually, it's quite simple. If you can be the first to advance to the intermediate divine power realm..."

"Or perhaps, the first being in this small world to advance to the intermediate divine power realm will be from your dragon clan. In that case, you will naturally be qualified to ask me for a kingdom title."

Ao Guang was a little discouraged after hearing Zhang Zhi's request: "The old birds of the Golden Crow and Phoenix Clan have lost face this time because of that old white elephant, and you even bestowed a kingdom title upon the demon clan because of it."

“After being provoked, those guys will definitely put in all their effort to become the first to advance to the intermediate divine power realm.”

"As for me, by then, we might not even have integrated the dragon race yet."

After hearing Ao Guang's complaint, Zhang Zhi shook his head and said, "Then that's your own problem."

"That elephant demon of the demon race, he established the demon race kingdom with nothing but integrity, even when surrounded by hostile alien races."

"Moreover, over the years, the vast majority of high-level cultivators of the demon race are now members of that demon kingdom."

"In fact, while establishing and developing a nation, they also became the first in the small world to advance to the lower-level divine power realm."

"If others can do it, why can't you?"

Ao Guang said with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, you know that our dragon race is a race with a flawed destiny, or even a curse."

"I didn't quite understand what this 'flawed destiny' meant before."

"But it was only during my time integrating the Dragon Clan that I discovered what this so-called 'flawed destiny' really meant!"

"During this period, some inexplicable things have been happening within the Dragon Clan, and some strange individuals have also appeared within the clan."

"I think this isn't actually a matter of bad luck, but rather a curse!"

"This curse will appear once the dragon race develops to a certain extent, or once the race reaches a certain number of people!"

"Now I finally understand why there were so many mountains within the Dragon Clan."

“Those guys who wanted to unify the entire dragon race must have encountered such a curse, and in the end they were so disheartened that they simply gave up.”

"Now I finally understand why, even though my dragon bloodline and aptitude are quite extraordinary, the highest-ranking dragon in terms of cultivation was only at the intermediate divine power realm."

"Many dragons will be inexplicably affected by this curse."

"If it weren't for this damned curse, I think I could have integrated the entire dragon race in a few more years. But because of those inexplicable things and inexplicable people, it will take at least twice as long."

"This is based on the premise that no more of these inexplicable things or inexplicable people happen afterward."

"But I think that as I integrate the dragon race, these kinds of things will definitely happen more and more frequently."

After a pause, Ao Guang looked up at Zhang Zhi: "Your Excellency, please tell me, what exactly is the curse of the dragon race?"

Zhang Zhi shook his head after hearing Ao Guang's words: "The dragon clan's curse, or rather, a flaw in destiny, no one knows why this thing exists."

"Nobody knows where this thing came from."

However, there are many conflicting accounts regarding this curse.

"Some say that in the very distant past, the dragon race was so powerful that it almost overturned the control of the multiverse consciousness over the multiverse, which is why the dragon race is destined to be flawed."

"Therefore, the highest level of cultivation for the Dragon Clan in the past was only the intermediate divine power realm."

"Some people say that the so-called flaw in the destiny of the dragon race, the so-called curse that the dragon race is born with, is not actually a curse, but a test for the dragon race."

Ao Guang was somewhat surprised to hear this, and subconsciously repeated, "A test for the dragon race? How is that possible?"

Upon hearing Ao Guang's subconscious question, Zhang Zhi said, "Yes, and this statement actually came from within the Dragon Clan."

"As I told you before, there are already dragons in this multiverse who have successfully advanced to the level of a main god."

"This shows that the dragon's curse is not unbreakable."

"Moreover, the so-called curse of the dragon race is actually a test for the dragon race, and it comes from your dragon race's only chief god!"

“I asked Him for His opinion on the idea that the dragon race was destined to be flawed. He replied that he believed the curse the dragon race carried was, in another sense, a test or a blessing.”

Ao Guang was very surprised to hear Zhang Zhi say this, and repeated in a low voice: "This curse, it can be said to be a test, but how can it be related to a blessing?" After hearing Ao Guang's question, Zhang Zhi explained softly: "I had the same question at the time."

"Then, the chief god gave me a vivid analogy."

"You've seen springs before, haven't you?"

"This curse is actually a spring, and all your actions to dispel these curses are actually applying a force to this spring."

"Until one day, when you feel that you can no longer apply any force to that spring, you can let go of the hand that has been pressing on that spring."

"As you know from seeing a spring, once you release it, all the force you applied to it will be returned to you."

"As for whether this power returned to you will become a disaster or an aid, it depends on whether you can accept it and how you use it after accepting it."

"As long as you can find the right way to use this power after you receive it, what you can get from it will far exceed your imagination."

"After all, those forces are the forces you have been continuously applying to the spring for countless years."

Ao Guang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. This was the first time he had heard such a statement. Then, realizing something, he asked Zhang Zhi in a somewhat hurried tone, "Your Excellency, were these words told to you by that Lord God of the Dragon Clan?"

After Zhang Zhi nodded, He asked again, "Does what that gentleman meant by saying that He was able to ascend to the status of a main god by relying on the power of that curse?"

After hearing Ao Guang's words, Zhang Zhi nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that's right."

"After He ascended to the peak of the powerful divine realm, He could not find a way forward for a long time."

"After using the power of that curse, I found my way forward and was finally able to enter the realm of the main god."

After receiving confirmation from the Venerable One, Ao Guang breathed a long sigh of relief and then said in a low voice, "If it can really be done this way, then it wouldn't be wrong to say that this curse is a blessing in disguise."

After a moment of contemplation, He looked up at Zhang Zhi: "Your Excellency, turning this curse into a blessing is not a simple process, is it?"

"Otherwise, over the years, there wouldn't have been just one person who successfully broke the curse and advanced to the God Realm."

After hearing this, Zhang Zhi shook his head again: "Turning that curse into good fortune is not difficult."

"The difficulty lies in how to compress that spring repeatedly."

"You should know that only by applying more force to a spring can it be compressed more tightly."

"The same curse applies to your dragon race."

"If you want to accumulate enough good fortune through curses, each curse you experience must be stronger than the last one!"

"Moreover, the stronger the curse you have experienced, the more good fortune you will be able to draw upon when you break the curse in the future."

"Given your current situation, you can't even trigger a powerful stroke of good fortune!"

"Long Yun, who is also the first chief god of your dragon race, is the first person in the dragon race to openly advance to the powerful divine realm in all these years."

"The world He resided in was, at the time, the only known dragon-dominated world within the multiverse."

"That's why He encountered and triggered a large number of powerful curses."

"It was precisely by accumulating power through those curses that He was finally able to break the curses and transform them into blessings, thus directly stepping into the realm of a half-step God."

"This is also what he said. This curse is very likely a test set up by some powerful being for the dragon race."

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang's consciousness wavered for a moment, and then he slowly spoke, "So, what Your Excellency means is that we can actually transform curses into blessings in our daily lives."

"However, since the curse we triggered wasn't very powerful, even if it's converted into good fortune, it won't have much of an effect?"

Zhang Zhi nodded slowly: "Yes, that's right."

"The curses of your dragon race only have a modicum of effect when they accumulate a certain amount of power and are transformed into blessings!"

After listening to Zhang Zhi's words, Ao Guang remained silent for a while before finally smiling and saying, "Your Excellency, now that you mention it, I'm actually starting to look forward to this curse."

"Perhaps I, Ao Guang, can become the first person in this small world to advance to the intermediate divine power realm by relying on this curse."

Zhang Zhiyang laughed loudly, "It's best that you think that way."

"I eagerly anticipate that the next race to take my kingdom's title will be your dragon race!"

After chatting with Ao Guang for almost half a day, Zhang Zhi finally left the Dragon Palace.

Actually, his visit to Ao Guang wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision. It was because he had noticed these past few days that Ao Guang sometimes looked dejected and muttered things like the fate of the dragon race, destiny, and curses.

That's why he specifically sought out Lord Long Yun to learn about information related to the Dragon Clan's destiny, which led to today's exchange.

After leaving the Dragon Palace, Zhang Zhi pondered for a while under the South Heavenly Gate before arriving at the area where the human race lived.

To be honest, Zhang Zhi wasn't very satisfied with the performance of the humans within the Lingbao Small World.

Of course, it wasn't that he thought the humans here were inferior.

On the contrary, Zhang Zhi greatly admired the fact that the human race in the Lingbao Small World was able to survive without cultivation techniques, surrounded by demons and four major demon clans, and even manage to stand on equal footing with the other races.

However, all of this was accomplished under Yang's leadership.

Or rather, if Yang hadn't appeared, the humans within the Lingbao Small World might have gone extinct long ago.

Although the Qi Refining Small World has Fang Yun as its core leader, it also has a large number of other talents such as Fang Long, Fang Qi, and Fang Zhen.

However, so far, the Lingbao Small World only has Yang Shi as a barely presentable figure.

However, Yang Shi was able to produce something because he relied on Buddhist methods, and it had little to do with the Lingbao Small World!
This indicates that the human race in the Lingbao Small World has a major problem in talent selection!
This is why Zhang Zhi ultimately said he did not bestow upon the human kingdom of the Lingbao Small World a name.

Fortunately, since the humans in the Qi Refining Small World had exchanges with them a few years ago, the humans in the Lingbao Small World have finally begun to take action!
but!

Zhang Zhi discovered that in the period immediately following the exchange, the humans in the Lingbao Small World seemed to be doing quite well!

However, looking back today, several years later, Zhang Zhi discovered that the power of the vested interest groups, or rather the conservative forces, within the Lingbao Small World was quite formidable!
Back then, many cultivation methods and techniques were indeed spread throughout the entire human realm!
However, many cultivation methods available on the market only go up to the Transcendent Realm!
Yes, it was merely a technique at the Transcendent Realm. When Zhang Zhi learned the whole situation, he didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings! (End of Chapter)
