Primordial Era: I, Tongtian, will slay all enemies!

Before Ao Guang could explain the flooding of Chentang Pass, a photographic stone flew in from nowhere and landed steadily in front of Di Xin with a "thud".

As soon as the photo stone landed, it shone brightly, and an appalling scene instantly unfolded before everyone's eyes.

The Dragon Prince Ao Bing stood there, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, his feet treading on the corpse of a young girl. The girl's blood stained the surrounding earth red, while Ao Bing, as if insane, laughed wildly, his laughter echoing like the wailing of a night owl, sending chills down everyone's spines.

Instantly, Di Xin's eyes became bloodshot, like burning flames, and his murderous aura surged forth as if it were a tangible substance.

He suddenly raised his hand, pointed at Ao Guang, and shouted angrily, "Ao Guang, what explanation do you have?!"

Ao Guang, however, showed no remorse whatsoever, standing tall and proud, his eyes filled with disdain.

"What good would it do to kill them? They're just a bunch of lowly commoners. What difference would it make if we killed them? Back then, when the daughter of Emperor Yan was drowned by my East Sea, we only received a minor punishment. Now, just because a few lowly commoners have lost their lives, you want to kill my son? It's utterly absurd!"

His words were like sharp blades, piercing the hearts of everyone, filling the human race with righteous indignation.

Upon hearing this, Di Xin was furious but laughed instead. "Emperor Yan was merciful, allowing your dragon race to atone for their crimes, yet you accuse Emperor Yan of cowardice? Do you really think my human race is so easily bullied?"

After saying that, he slowly took out the Kongtong Seal. As soon as the Kongtong Seal appeared, the fortune of the human race reached its peak.

"The Dragon Clan, ungrateful for Emperor Yan's kindness, repays good with evil and allows its offspring to commit atrocities. Today, the Dragon Clan is no longer the chief of the auspicious beasts of our human race; the Phoenix Clan is hereby proclaimed as the foremost auspicious beast of our human race!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the weather changed drastically, and the dragon race's fortune began to decline.

On the Phoenix Clan's side, their fortune was rising steadily. In the Human King's Palace, the dragon of human fortune soared into the sky. After circling in the air for a while, it transformed into a magnificent divine phoenix with a clear phoenix cry.

Upon seeing this, various races associated with humans expressed their positions.

The Phoenix Clan, residing south of the Undying Volcano, declared, "Our Phoenix Clan hereby severs ties with the Dragon Clan, vowing to become auspicious beasts for humanity, protecting the Great Shang Dynasty. Any bird or beast that harms humanity will be hunted down and killed by our Phoenix Clan!"

In the ancestral land of the Qilin clan, it is declared: "From this day forward, the Qilin clan will sever all ties with the Dragon clan. Any land beast that harms or kills a human will be hunted down and killed by our Qilin clan!"

......

Upon hearing Di Xin's pronouncement and the statements of the various races, the Four Dragon Kings were enraged. "Di Xin, how dare you! How dare you, a mere ant, act like this? Are you not afraid of the wrath of my dragon race?!"

Di Xin, however, showed no fear, his expression cold and stern. "Leave at once! Your dragon clan has committed countless evils. If you remain obstinate, don't blame me for being impolite!"

However, the Four Dragon Kings not only ignored him, but instead, with red eyes and baring their fangs and claws, charged towards Di Xin, intending to devour him alive.

Upon seeing the menacing Four Seas Dragon Kings approaching, Di Xin's expression hardened, and he waved his hand, shouting, "Where are the Shadow Guards?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huanglong, Xuandu, Gude, and Shenji appeared and directly confronted the menacing Four Seas Dragon Kings.

In an instant, light shone brightly and magical power surged forth. In just one exchange, the four Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were suppressed by the four of them and lay on the ground in a sorry state.

Just as Emperor Xin was about to order the execution of the Four Dragon Kings, a surge of dragon might rose up, and Xuan Du, Gu De, and Shen Ji immediately retreated, while the Yellow Dragon was directly suppressed and unable to move.

Just then, an old man with dragon horns and a cane emerged from the sea.

The moment he appeared, the atmosphere became tense, as if the air itself had frozen. Li Jing stepped in front of Di Xin without hesitation, staring warily at the old dragon before him.

The old man bowed slightly to Di Xin, his voice low and hoarse, "This humble Taoist, Zhulong, pays respects to Your Majesty the Human King."

Upon hearing this, everyone was extremely surprised. The name of Zhulong was well-known, but legend had it that he had long since disappeared into the river of time. No one would have thought that he was still alive and would appear at this crucial moment.

Di Xin pushed Li Jing away and was about to speak when his companion beside him hurriedly reminded him in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, this dragon is an ancient and powerful being, with the cultivation of a perfect Hunyuan Golden Immortal. Xuandu and Wudang are no match for it. We must not coerce it."

Di Xin nodded slightly, "Grand Preceptor, rest assured, I am aware of it. It was merely a warning to the Dragon Clan."

After saying that, he looked at Zhulong and said, "No need for formalities. I wonder what Fellow Daoist Zhulong wants? The Dragon Clan has been massacring my coastal people. There must be an explanation for this."

Upon hearing this, Zhulong tapped his cane lightly on the ground, and a powerful surge of bloodline energy swept towards the Four Seas Dragon Kings.

The Four Dragon Kings were forced to lie flat on the ground by this force, groaning in pain.

"How dare you kill innocent people indiscriminately!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhulong, are you trying to intimidate me? Your power is truly terrifying!"

"No, no, Your Majesty, you misunderstand. This is the fault of the East Sea, not the Dragon Clan. Please forgive the Dragon Clan this time, considering that they were loyal to Emperor Xuanyuan."

A flash of anger crossed Di Xin's eyes. "Then did my people die in vain? Were their lives so worthless?"

"I am willing to hand over a branch of the East Sea Dragon Clan to Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty decide what to do with it."

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang was immediately shocked. "Ancestor, this is outrageous! It's just a few ants that have died, why make such a fuss!"

Upon hearing this, Zhulong's eyes flashed with disgust. He slammed his palm down on Ao Guang, causing Ao Guang to vomit blood. "Shut up! You wretched creature, still unrepentant!"

Di Xin, however, was not impressed. "These Four Dragon Kings have insulted my ancestors, and I have no interest in the East Sea Dragon Clan."

"What does Your Majesty wish to do? As long as Your Majesty's request is reasonable, I will certainly agree. However, the one from the east has also approached me. I urge Your Majesty to reconsider. The Dragon Clan has more than just the Shang Dynasty as an option."

"Is that so? Are you threatening me?"

Zhulong hurriedly shook his head, "Your Majesty is overthinking it. I was just saying that the dragon race has many choices."

Upon hearing this, Di Xin burst into laughter, his laughter filled with disdain and confidence.

"Is that so? Then you shouldn't choose the Great Shang. But you should think carefully about whether the person you choose is strong enough, and besides, I always hold grudges!"

After hearing this, Zhulong fell silent, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He then raised his head and said, "Then Your Majesty, please state your conditions. As long as they are reasonable, I will grant them."

"Dragons can be considered the second most auspicious beasts for humans, and the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas should be under the rule of humans. After all, we feel more at ease when we're on our own, don't we?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang roared in fury, "Ancestor, you mustn't! The Human King intends to use the Dragon Clan as cannon fodder, sending them to fight on all sides!"

"Fellow Daoist, think it over carefully. I can assure you that the Dragon Clan will not be cannon fodder."

"Very well, then the dragon clans of the four seas will obey Your Majesty's orders."

Di Xin nodded in satisfaction and looked at Huanglong, "Huanglong Zhenren, listen to my command. I hereby appoint you as the head of the Four Seas Dragon Kings, to lead the Four Seas Dragon Clan to bring rain to our human race and ensure that our human race is free from drought and flood disasters."

Huang Long was taken aback at first, not expecting Di Xin to trust him so much. After a moment, he hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will certainly not fail in my mission!"

Upon hearing this, the four Dragon Kings of the Seas all glared angrily, their faces full of dissatisfaction.

Zhulong initially looked down on Huanglong, but when he used his divine sense to examine Huanglong, he was shocked.

"You will all obey Huanglong!" Although the Four Dragon Kings were unwilling, they had no choice but to obey under the threat of Zhulong and the pressure of Huanglong's ancestral dragon bloodline.

Under the oppressive power of the Ancestral Dragon's bloodline, the Four Sea Dragon Kings all prostrated themselves on the ground, unable to struggle, their eyes filled with humiliation and resentment.

Di Xin watched this scene with satisfaction. Just as the matter was about to be settled, a cold glint suddenly appeared.

The blade, like the scythe of death, stabbed towards Di Xin at an extremely fast speed.

Di Xin was greatly alarmed. His pupils contracted instantly, and his body instinctively tried to dodge, but the blade was too fast and was already within reach in the blink of an eye.

In this critical moment, the Shadow Guard reacted extremely quickly, lunging towards Di Xin and using his own body to block the fatal blow, while the guard died instantly.

Li Jing quickly shielded Di Xin behind him, gripping his longsword tightly, ready to face the enemy.
