Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

In the deep sea.

The last words of the Vast Ocean Glazed Dragon were spoken.

Tuntian remained silent for a long time.

Looking at the most outstanding junior of the Sea Spirit Beast clan in front of him, he felt a complex emotion that he couldn't quite describe for the first time.

Nine hundred and ninety thousand years, just one step away from a million years.

Such cultivation level places him at the very top, even within the entire Martial Spirit Continent.

But the more this was the case, the less willing Tuntian was to watch him go to his death.

The battle three months later was never going to be won from the start.

It's not that the Vast Ocean Glazed Dragon isn't strong enough.

Rather, the two sides are simply not on the same level.

The number of human martial spirits far exceeds that of sea spirit beasts.

The various factions also possess the legacies, artifacts, and various contingency plans left behind by the gods.

Not to mention, those who truly stand behind humanity will never allow the Sea Spirit Beasts to disrupt the current order.

The Vast Ocean Glazed Dragon wants to take advantage of this battle to reach a million years.

But how easy is it to survive a calamity that lasts for millions of years?

Devouring Heaven remained in the realm of 990,000 years.

Because he knew better than anyone just how difficult that step was.

Once the aura crosses the boundary, a great calamity will immediately descend upon the world.

Moreover, that wasn't an ordinary tribulation lightning; it was a shackle specifically set up by the rules of the divine realm for spirit beasts.

Even if the Vast Ocean Glazed True Dragon could gain enough power in the great battle, it would still be impossible for it to survive the million-year calamity under the siege of countless human powerhouses.

"Sea Dragon".

Tuntian finally spoke, his tone much lower than before.

Have you thought about what you'll be facing three months from now?

"The various human factions have already noticed the unusual activity in the outer sea."

"You can't keep your gathering of sea spirit beasts a secret for long."

"Once the great war breaks out, the first to arrive will be the major spiritual master sects along the coast."

"Afterwards, there will be powerful figures remaining from the Martial Spirit Hall, as well as those who inherit the divine legacy."

"No matter how many sea spirit beasts you command, you can't possibly stop them."

The Vast Sea Glazed Dragon did not answer.

Devouring Heaven continued, "I know your plans."

"You want to use the fortune and blood energy gathered during the war to forcefully break through a million years."

"But this path is blocked."

The rule that "spirit beasts cannot become gods" still applies.

"Once the great calamity of a million years arrives, you will not only have to withstand the power of heaven and earth, but also face the encirclement and killing by the powerful human race."

"Even if Lord Jade Silver Dragon King and I join forces, we may not be able to protect you."

Devouring Heaven looked at the Vast Sea Glazed True Dragon.

"There is really no hope in this battle."

"You are dead."

"Those spirit beasts in the outer sea who are willing to follow you will also die."

"Your hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation will all vanish in a single day."

So, stop.

"It's not too late."

The Vast Ocean Glazed Dragon remained standing in the same spot, its sea-blue robe swaying gently with the undercurrent, its expression so calm that no one could discern its joy or anger.

"Have you finished speaking, senior?"

Tuntian frowned slightly.

"Hailong, I'm not asking you to bow down to the human race."

"But it's not the right time yet."

"If we just keep waiting, and wait for Lord Jade Silver Dragon King's plan to be completed, things may take a turn for the better."

I heard the words "Jade Silver Dragon King".

The eyes of the Vast Sea Glazed Dragon finally showed a slight change.

As if seeing a glimmer of hope, Tuntian's tone became more forceful.

"Lord Jade Silver Dragon King sees further than we do."

"Her choice to approach humans does not mean she has betrayed the spirit beasts."

"She just wanted to find a real solution to the conflict from within the human race."

"Humans and spirit beasts have been fighting for so many years, and both sides have paid the price with countless lives."

"Is it necessary to completely exterminate one side to end all of this?"

Devouring Heaven paused slightly, then seemed to have finally found the most suitable explanation.

"Do you think there's any possibility of lasting peace between humans and spirit beasts?"

"As long as we unite as one and follow His Highness the Jade Dragon King's path, we will surely achieve the revival of spirit beasts!"

"To achieve the great prosperity of all martial spirits!"

Suddenly, silence fell over the area in front of the whalebone palace, and even the slowly flowing seawater around it seemed to freeze for a moment.

The Vast Ocean Glazed Dragon slowly raised its head, its previously calm gaze turning completely cold.

next moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The aura of a ferocious beast that had existed for 990,000 years suddenly erupted.

An endless tide rose behind him, and the entire whalebone palace trembled violently.

The seawater within a radius of a thousand miles was pressed down and sank by a terrifying force.

The black robes on Tuntian's body fluttered in the wind, and fine cracks appeared on the ground beneath his feet.

"senior."

The voice of the Vast Ocean Glazed Dragon was icy cold.

"I respect you as the God of Spirit Beasts."

"I also respect you for all the things you have done for the spirit beast race over the years."

"That's why I'm willing to stand here and listen to you all this time."

"But what you said today..."

"It makes me laugh."

Devouring Heaven's expression changed slightly.

"Hailong, I just..."

"That's enough!"

The Vast Ocean Glazed Dragon interrupted him directly.

"Permanent peace?"

"Great Martial Spirit Co-prosperity?"

"When humans hunt spirit beasts and seize their spirit cores, why don't they talk about peace?"

"When they destroyed my race, killed my adoptive father, and absorbed millions of years of cultivation into their own bodies, why didn't they talk about co-prosperity?"

"Now the spirit beasts are forced into a corner with no way out."

"We've finally picked up our knives to take everything back from them."

"But you're telling me that as long as we unite as one and follow the path of Lord Jade Silver Dragon King, we can usher in a period of revival?"

The Vast Sea Glazed Dragon took a step forward.

The overwhelming dragon's might pressed down once more.

"What is her path?"

"Approaching the human race?"

"Falling in love with a human?"

"And then turn all the blood feuds between the spirit beasts over countless years into a simple 'we can sit down and talk'?"

"senior."

"Do you really think this path can save the spirit beast?"

Devouring Heaven fell silent.

There are some things that even he himself doesn't have the answers to.

The Jade Silver Dragon King initially approached the young man with the bloodline of the Crimson Gold Dragon King for the sake of the revival of spirit beasts.

But what happened later gradually deviated from the original plan.

Tuntian could see it, but he was unwilling to admit it.

Because even the path of the Jade Silver Dragon King is wrong.

The spirit beast race truly saw no hope.

The Vast Ocean Glazed True Dragon looked at the silent Devourer of Heaven, its disappointment growing ever stronger.

"We can lose."

"You can die."

"We might even lose the open sea completely after this battle."

"But at least we resisted."

"If they don't even dare to resist, they will only hide behind so-called peace and wait for the human race to show mercy."

"That's true hopelessness."

Devouring Heaven whispered, "If you do this, you'll only be leading all the sea spirit beasts to their deaths."

"That was our own choice."

The Vast Sea Glazed Dragon refused to back down.

"They are willing to follow me."

"It's not because I deceived them."

"But they are also fed up with hiding, fed up with being hunted, and even more fed up with placing their hopes on others."

"senior."

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."

"You may choose the path of Lord Jade Silver Dragon King."

"I can also choose my own path."

Behind him, the tide rose higher and higher, and in the darkness, a phantom of a crystal dragon, tens of thousands of feet long, slowly opened its eyes.

"Please leave."

"Don't force me to take action."

"You are the God of Spirit Beasts."

"Not a human lobbyist."

Tuntian's lips twitched slightly.

He wanted to explain.

I have never spoken on behalf of the human race.

But when the words came to my lips, I felt that whatever I said would sound inadequate.

"That's enough."

Tuntian shook his head with a wry smile.

"Since you've already made up your mind, there's no point in trying to persuade you anymore."

"I just hope you won't regret it three months from now."

The Azure Dragon remained unmoved.

"I have regretted too many times in my life."

"This time, however, will not be the case."

Tuntian gave him a deep look.

Then he turned around.

Space slowly cracked open in front of me.

The black figure stepped inside and disappeared outside the whalebone palace.

Devouring Heaven had just left.

Several powerful auras rapidly approached from the depths of the palace.

An old whale that had cultivated for over 700,000 years transformed into a white-haired old man and was the first to emerge.

Following them were several powerful sea spirit beasts who had also reached hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation.

They had clearly overheard the conversation.

A sea dragon clad in blue armor snorted coldly.

"What kind of bullshit spirit beast god is this?"

"In the end, they just don't dare to really start a war with the human race."

"They were the ones who shouted that spirit beasts should be popular back then."

"It is they who have helped us put aside our blood feud."

"He's utterly unworthy of being called a spirit beast god!"

The other sea creatures also showed their dissatisfaction.

Some people even spoke out directly:

"grown ups."

"Since neither Devouring Heaven nor Jade Silver Dragon King are willing to take action, then we in the Outer Sea will handle it ourselves."

"Even if it's just sea spirit beasts."

"This battle, too, must be fought!"

The Vast Ocean Glazed Dragon did not comment on Devouring Heaven.

They didn't continue the conversation.

He simply turned around and looked back into the depths of the palace.

"Pass down the order."

"Continue to strengthen the army and prepare for war."

"All sea spirit beasts with over 100,000 years of cultivation will gather in the Vast Ocean in three months."

Everyone's expression turned solemn.

"yes!"

Several figures quickly retreated.

Before the Whale Bone Palace, only the Vast Sea Glazed Dragon remained once again.

He looked up at the dark, deep sea.

My gaze traveled through the endless sea to the area that was about to become a battlefield.

Nobody knows.

What is he thinking at this moment?
