The people of the primordial era ruled the heavens and earth.

"yes!"

"Zhulong's strength has reached its peak at the Quasi-Saint level."

"In the primordial world, only Taiyi in the past could surpass him in the Quasi-Saint realm."

"The rest of the people are far inferior."

Upon hearing Kong Xuan's soft sigh, Shi Feng remained silent for a long time.

After a short while, he replied, "Xuan'er, you came to see your mother because you miss her. I'll try to persuade the second son for you."

"Yes," Kong Xuan nodded, "I plan to bring the second son here and place him by your side."

"You need to teach him a lesson; he's far too impulsive."

"Sometimes, you become someone else's pawn without even realizing it, and you're even gloating over it."

"Xuan'er, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you." Shi Feng shook her head and said, "A son grows up and is no longer under his mother's control. Everyone has their own path to walk."

"The second son's personality is already set; it was you who forcibly brought him here and sent him to my side."

"I can't control him all the time; he'll eventually leave."

"At that time, it will only damage the relationship between you brothers."

"Listen to your mother's advice: manage the tribe if you can, and let go if you can't."

"There are many phoenixes in the world, but you two brothers are the only peacocks and the golden-winged roc."

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan's face was filled with disappointment.

He came with high hopes, but he never expected his own mother to give him such an answer.

"Mother, the clan is fundamental. Only when the clan is strong can I have a foundation to stand on in this world."

"You're asking your child to abandon their tribe? How are you going to teach your child to live their life after that?"

"Silly child!" Hearing Kong Xuan's question, Shi Feng sighed softly, "You are wrong. In this world, everything is illusory. Only personal strength is fundamental."

"What race, what protagonist of heaven and earth, that's all temporary."

"Your mother is the best negative example you can learn from."

"If my mother hadn't been so fixated on tribal conflicts back then, she wouldn't have ended up like this today."

Kong Xuan remained silent for a moment before replying, "Mother, I understand."

"I have matters to attend to within the clan, so I'll take my leave now. I'll come to see you again next time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Xuan transformed into a beam of five-colored divine light and flew upwards.

Watching Kong Xuan's departing figure, Shi Feng sighed softly, "I hope you truly understand."

...

Phoenix Clan, Wutong Mountain.

Seeing Kong Xuan return, the Golden-Winged Roc asked somewhat impatiently, "Brother, where have you been?"

"The elders are all waiting for you to make a decision. Do you know that the dragons are almost at our doorstep?"

"I didn't go anywhere," Kong Xuan replied expressionlessly. "I just went to see my mother."

"My opinion remains the same: prioritize preserving our strength."

"The Phoenix Clan does not currently possess the strength to firmly establish itself as a protagonist of the world."

"Our clan has too few strong individuals. Even the dragons, if the human race doesn't intervene, can't control this land properly."

"Brother, you have disappointed me greatly!" The Golden-Winged Roc glared at Kong Xuan with a cold expression. "Do you know how much effort we put in and how many of our people died to take this land?"

"The dragons have invaded, and you not only fail to make progress but also fail to avenge the past."

"Give up so easily now."

"Do you know that this land represents not only the face of my Phoenix Clan, but also the countless members of my Phoenix Clan who have sacrificed their lives?"

"I know," Kong Xuan replied, her face flushed and her voice trembling with excitement. "Of course I know."

"But if it's a major war, the number of our people who die or are injured will be even greater than this."

"Aren't the lessons of the past enough?"

"Is the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth truly worth our clan's all-out effort to seize?"

"Our clan has an absolute powerhouse; can they protect all of this?"

Kong Xuan's three questions left the Golden-Winged Roc speechless.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan smiled and thought to himself, "This should finally persuade you to give up."

But just then, a streak of blue light suddenly flew down from the foot of the mountain.

A blue phoenix, covered in blood, knelt before Kong Xuan.

"Something terrible has happened, young master!"

"The dragons have launched a full-scale attack."

"With all nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon present, our clansmen are no match for them. We urge our young master to quickly lead troops to provide support."

After saying this, Qingluan smiled, as if she had fulfilled her wish, and with her last breath, she collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan felt a pang of pain in his heart.

If even my clansmen are like this, how can I back down?

I'm sorry, Mother.

I'm going to disappoint you, my child.

With a thought, Kong Xuan looked at the Golden-Winged Roc and said with a murderous look, "Second Brother, I'll go support the clansmen at the front first."

"While you are on the mountain, quickly gather the remaining tribesmen and rush to the front lines."

"In this battle, we will fight the dragons to the death."

After saying this, Kong Xuan didn't wait for the Golden-Winged Roc to reply. He moved and transformed into a five-colored divine light, flying rapidly towards the front line.

On the battlefield, Baxia looked at the countless birds flying in the sky and said disdainfully, "Is this all the Phoenix Clan has left?"

"They're really pathetic!"

After saying this, Baxia soared high into the air and flew towards the various birds that filled the sky, making no attempt to defend itself.

Upon seeing this, the Phoenix Clan's commander, Zi Feng, revealed a look of fear in his eyes, as if he had thought of something horrifying.

He immediately shouted, "Get back! This Baxia is up to no good!"

As she spoke, Zi Feng unleashed her own life-force fire in an attempt to stop Ba Xia.

A yellow light suddenly shone from Baxia's tortoise shell, enveloping Baxia completely.

"Are you warming me up by the fire, you purple-feathered bird?"

"The temperature is a bit too low."

Zi Feng's face turned red with anger. With a determined heart, she directly burned her life essence, and the purple flames she spewed from her mouth condensed into a purple ray of light, shooting towards Baxia's head.

As the leader of the Phoenix Clan, Zi Feng's strength is not bad. He is already a great supernatural being in the Quasi-Saint realm, but he has only recently broken through to the next level.

He cannot compare to Baxia, a veteran quasi-saint.

However, it is still not to be underestimated, and Baxia felt threatened.

Baxia glanced at the location of Zifeng, then with a thought, it shrank its entire body into its shell.

Then, bracing itself against the purple light, it charged towards the Purple Phoenix at incredible speed.

Upon seeing this, Zi Feng's first reaction was to hide, but looking around at the tens of millions of birds...

She stopped moving; she couldn't dodge.

She hid, and none of those tens of millions of birds will be able to leave the battlefield alive.

Baxia's charge was too savage and violent.

It's something that ordinary birds simply can't contend with.

It's so soft it'll turn into mincemeat the slightest touch.

As Baxia drew closer and closer, Zifeng grew increasingly desperate, and finally seemed to make some kind of decision in secret.

"Get out of here, all of you. I don't want to see you within a hundred miles again."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zi Feng resolutely charged towards Ba Xia, her body engulfed in towering purple flames.

"Aunt Zi, no!"
