Houtu is infatuated with me, so I made her lean against the wall.

Hearing Ao Guang and Huang Yun's words, Qin Ming fell into deep thought.

The dragon race is, after all, one of the three ancient races, and has immense potential.

Although the clan's cultivators have been tainted by evil energy and karma due to the Dragon-Han Calamity, there is still a chance for them to recover.

Qin Ming knew many methods for accumulating merit.

As long as we accumulate some merit for the dragon race, even if we don't restore them to their former glory, becoming a major power is not a problem.

Most importantly, Ao Guang and Huang Yun were his disciples, although only nominal disciples. He always treated all his disciples equally.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming waved his hand and released a burst of magic power to help Ao Guang and Huang Yun up.

"You belong to the Dragon Clan. Although you are my disciples, without the Dragon Clan, you would not exist."

"I will not stop you from doing what you ask for."

"Ao Guang, I grant you permission to leave the mountain and reorganize the dragon clan."

"However, you must remember the lessons learned from the Dragon-Han Calamity. Although I have allowed you to leave the mountain to reorganize the Dragon Clan, it does not mean that I permit you to lead the Dragon Clan to continue to set foot in the prehistoric world and compete with the myriad races of the prehistoric world for supremacy under my name."

"Do you know?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang nodded solemnly: "This disciple will obey Master's decree. My purpose in going is solely to reorganize the Dragon Clan, lead its vassals to the Three Immortal Islands of Chaos, and bring a glimmer of hope to the Dragon Clan. I would never dare to meddle in the primordial world!"

"Teacher, what about your disciple?"

Upon seeing that Qin Ming had agreed to let Ao Guang come out of seclusion to reorganize the Dragon Clan, Huang Yun immediately said anxiously.

"You are destined by Heaven; now is not the time for you to emerge from seclusion!"

"The mundane world is full of calamities."

"If you truly care about the dragon race, then be patient for a while. Once you have completed your mission, you may be able to eliminate most of the evil energy and karma associated with the dragon race."

After pondering for a moment, Qin Ming shook his head.

Huang Yun is different from Ao Guang.

Ao Guang was entrusted with the mission of ruling the dragons of the four seas. In addition, the merits of creation hidden deep within his primordial spirit meant that when he came out of the mountains to reorganize the dragons, evil energy and karma could not taint him.

In this way, Ao Guang can continue to improve his strength.

Huang Yun, however, was different.

Although Huang Yun is closely connected with the Dragon Clan, his destiny does not lie with the Dragon Clan.

Once he leaves the mountain to assist Ao Guang in reforming the dragon clan, he will inevitably be corrupted by the dragon clan's overwhelming malevolent energy and karma.

At that time, at best their cultivation will stagnate, and at worst they will fall into the demonic path and their destiny will be completely extinguished.

Hearing Qin Ming's words, Huang Yun wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Ao Guang advised, "Junior brother, the teacher has his reasons for making such an arrangement."

"Rest assured, I will do my utmost to bring the dragon race back on the right track and give our dragon race a glimmer of hope."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yun hesitated for a moment before bowing respectfully and saying, "In that case, the Dragon Clan will be entrusted to you, Senior Brother."

"rest assured!"

"Master, I am deeply concerned about the situation of the Dragon Clan, so I must take my leave now. I will return to serve you once the Dragon Clan has been restored!"

Having received permission, Ao Guang transformed into a golden dragon thousands of feet long, shook his head and tail for a while, and then flew out of the Chaos Three Immortal Islands.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ao Guang left the Chaos Three Immortal Islands, plunged into the sea, and sped towards the East Sea Dragon Palace.

The Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

At this moment, the once majestic East Sea Dragon Palace is now dilapidated.

The final battle between the three races resulted in heavy losses for their leaders.

The First Emperor sacrificed himself to suppress the eye of the sea, forcing the Candle Dragon to self-destruct and die, completely disappearing into the world.

Tianlong was severely injured and burdened by evil energy and karma, causing his cultivation to decline day by day. Now, he can only fall into an endless slumber to slow down the rate of his cultivation decline.

This situation has also led to a sharp decline in the dragon race's combat strength.

Currently, there isn't even a single Grand Luo Golden Immortal among the Dragon Clan.

In contrast, the other races among the sea creatures, although they also suffered heavy losses, fared much better than the dragons.

Previously, the Dragon Clan was arrogant and domineering. When they unified the four seas, they fought wars in the south and north. Any race that did not submit to the Dragon Clan was exterminated by them.

Now, the dragon race is in decline, and the consequences of their past actions are finally coming to an end.

Under the leadership of the new chieftains of the octopus and shark tribes, the sea creatures united to besiege the dragon tribe.

"Prime Minister Turtle, you are not a direct descendant of the Dragon Clan, why must you live and die with them?"

"If you know what's good for you, release the great formation. We guarantee that we will only kill the dragon cultivators and will not harm a single member of your turtle clan."

The newly appointed chieftain of the Shark Clan, Shark Thorn, looked calmly at the Turtle Prime Minister, who was cowering in the formation.

"Nonsense! My turtle clan has received immense favor from His Majesty the Ancestral Dragon. Now is a time of life and death for the dragon clan. How could I abandon them?"

"If you want to annihilate the dragon race, you'll have to get past our turtle race first!"

"To the Turtle Clan, deploy the Turtle Shell Divine Defense Formation! We must stop these people!"

The Turtle Prime Minister remained unmoved. Instead, he summoned the few remaining cultivators of the Turtle Clan and together they set up a grand formation.

Seeing this, Shark Thorn and Zhang Yan, the new patriarch of the Octopus Clan, looked grim: "Since you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame us for being ruthless."

"All cultivators, heed my command! Follow us to break the formation!"

In an instant, the group of sea creature cultivators joined forces, unleashing their supernatural powers and intertwining their laws. The terrifying fluctuations caused ripples to spread across the Dragon Palace's grand formation.

The turtle cultivator was the first to be hit, and was struck by the combined attack of the sea cultivators, causing him to vomit blood.

Even the Turtle Prime Minister turned pale after this attack.

"Damn it, we can't hold on any longer! Is today truly the day of our demise?"

The Turtle Prime Minister and some newly promoted dragon elders looked on with despair.

"Sing!!!"

Just then, deafening dragon roars resounded.

Following closely behind was a five-clawed golden dragon thousands of feet long that descended above the Dragon Palace, its body radiating dazzling golden light, its mouth wide open: "Who dares to bully my dragon race!"

"It's Big Brother! It's Big Brother! That's wonderful! Big Brother is back!"

Upon seeing the five-clawed golden dragon, the three newly promoted dragon elders standing beside the Turtle Prime Minister showed excitement.

"Ao Guang!"

"I heard that he studied under the Pure World Daoist for many years, and did not even participate in the Dragon-Han Great Kalpa."

"Unexpectedly, at the most critical moment, we still need Ao Guang to rescue us. It's truly a twist of fate."

The group of dragon cultivators looked at Ao Guang with complicated expressions.

"Who are you? When did the Dragon Clan first have a master like you?"

Shark Thorn and Zhang Yan's pupils contracted as they saw the imposing aura emanating from Ao Guang, and they asked him warily.

"I am Ao Guang of the Dragon Clan, and I have become a disciple of the Pure World Daoist Venerable."

"How dare you! Taking advantage of our dragon race's weakness, you actually rallied the sea creatures, attempting to annihilate our dragon race! Do you really think our dragon race is helpless?!"

"Today, I will teach you a lesson and show you that even though my dragon race has declined, we are not someone to be bullied!"

"Hundred Battles Dragon Fist - Conquering Heaven and Earth!"

As he spoke, Ao Guang transformed into his Dao body and flashed to the front of Shark Thorn and Zhang Yan. The rich laws of water and metal intertwined, and the sharp fist force forced Shark Thorn and Zhang Yan to retreat repeatedly.

"boom!!!"

With just one punch, even if the two joined forces, they couldn't block it and were sent flying backward by Ao Guang's attack.

"Wow, that's impressive!"

"Damn it, this Ao Guang is indeed worthy of being the disciple of the Pure World Daoist. Even though we are all Great Luo Golden Immortals, we are no match for him."

Shark Thorn and Zhang Yan stared at Ao Guang in horror, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of their mouths.

Clearly, they had all suffered severe injuries in that last attack.
