Chapter 2694 Completion of Global Economic and Trade Integration in the Endless Starry Sky

At the heart of the Celestial Dragon Ancient Realm lies a vast and primitive land, where an enormous and majestic True Dragon sleeps at the center, breathing in and out the copious rivers of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, many clearly styled under the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dao Industrial System, having arrived here through trade.

The Huang Yan Domain isn’t without these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but there remains no choice.

No other reason, these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Supreme Great Sun Domain, even when added with freight and merchant profits, are much cheaper and more effective than those produced in the Huang Yan Domain.

Relying on this copious amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the Huang Yan Dragon Emperor’s recovery far exceeds expectations, the aura around him grows heavier, and the Earth Element Path becomes more active.

This Forbidden Area Dragon Emperor is gradually advancing toward the Seven-character Immortal Scripture!

Perhaps, within merely millions of years, success can be achieved, showcasing the frightening legacy and natural talent of the Old Emperor.

Opposite the Huang Yan Dragon Emperor, a Golden True Dragon of slightly smaller stature stands atop a Divine Peak, gazing into the depths of the universe, lost in thought, his aura exceptionally sharp and terrifying, surpassing ninety-nine percent of Sword Cultivators.

This is the Cross Immortal Scripture Ancient Emperor of the True Dragon Immortal Clan, the Broken Gold Dragon Emperor.

In the legends, during the years this Ancient Emperor attained the Dao, the Human Race’s Sword Dao flourished greatly, his path to growth was littered by the ruin of numerous Jiandao Schools; though he did not walk the Sword Dao, he borrowed heavily from its heritage to forge his own path, excelling most in frontal assaults.

Just then, a transmission came from the Golden Luck True Dragon.

“Brother Broken Gold,”

“It seems the Dragon Blood Gold tariff won’t succeed, we can only raise the purchase price.”

The Huang Yan Dragon Emperor sighed helplessly.

This Dragon Blood Gold tariff was naturally a probe; had it succeeded, it would have been followed by numerous measures to secure ample interests for the True Dragon Immortal Clan.

Unfortunately, it couldn’t even take off, already needing to stop.

No point in issuing mandatory orders for various True Dragons and Dragon Beasts to supply Dragon Blood Gold; free trade is a rule inscribed within the Heavenly Dao, not easily circumvented.

“Forget it.”

“Then raise the price, Dragon Blood Gold is indeed useful for my advancement to Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor.”

The Broken Gold Dragon Emperor expressed little surprise, saying, “This time the Supreme Great Sun won’t do anything, right? I’ve heard Dragon Blood Gold has significant value to its Great Sun Immortal Spirit Gold.”

“It won’t.”

“Dragon Blood Gold isn’t absolutely necessary to the Great Sun Immortal Spirit, but rather one of multiple procurement channels, some differ by only a dash of Dragon Blood Gold; if market actions raise Dragon Blood Gold’s price, then it ceases to be the optimal choice.”

“He will adhere to the so-called free trade.”

The Huang Yan Dragon Emperor seemed to be perpetually sighing today, completely oblivious to the joy of accelerated healing and advancement of the Great Dao.

For he knew, his progress implying that the Human Race Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor residing at the center of the Endless Starry Sky must be progressing even more terrifyingly.

The Broken Gold Dragon Emperor remained silent.

In years past, there was a time he contemplated moving to the Supreme Great Sun Domain, as it generously favored various Ancient Emperors, providing greater prospects for reaching Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor status.

He later abandoned the thought, for the True Dragon Immortal Dao System matched him better.

“Brother,”

“Lately, the impact of numerous Immortal Tao Industries from the Supreme Great Sun is overwhelming us; many of our products have become mere scrap metal, selling at less than half the cost price, turning many Dragon Beast Worlds into mere chicken ribs, bankrupt or unable to make ends meet.”

“Presently, what we can sell are minerals, raw timber, dragon beast hides, bones, flesh, and other raw materials.”

“Such low-profit trade is clearly not sustainable enough to act as a pillar of the Immortal Dao.”

“Brother, do you have any thoughts on this?”

The Huang Yan Dragon Emperor inquired calmly.

The True Dragon Immortal Scientific System is a biological side of the Immortal Dao Industrial System, where the production process is essentially the growth path of specially modified bloodline dragon beasts. From birth to death, a dragon beast eventually yields special minerals, blood, flesh, bones, etc.—this is their production method.

This method has its great advantages, not necessarily inferior to the commonly used water-fire refining methods in the Human Race’s Immortal Scientific System; it has flourished across multiple eras in the Endless Starry Sky, representing the highest level of Immortal Dao technology of its time, maximizing utilization efficiency of the Immortal Dao.

The current issue is the True Dragon Immortal Scientific System hasn’t advanced as deeply as the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dao Scientific System.

Thus, under free trade, many deeply processed dragon beast bloodline products from the True Dragon Immortal Clan have become worthless, since the Supreme Great Sun Domain’s similar products are better and more cost-effective.

Even the True Dragons themselves prefer products from the Supreme Great Sun Domain.

The height of a True Dragon Immortal Dao determines everything: strength, wealth, longevity. No True Dragon wishes to economize in this regard, ignoring quality Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to use poorer, overpriced items, dying with so-called Dragon Clan pride and reluctance.

Many Dragon Beast Worlds and Dragon Beast Immortal Biotechnologies have turned into liabilities, with their operational growth processes becoming entirely loss-making, given the cost involved in nurturing various dragon beasts through special evolutionary paths, demanding massive Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, manpower, resources, and attention due to immense costs.

Numerous True Dragons managing Star Domains and Worlds are contemplating one thing during this period: modifying their Dragon Beast Worlds to produce only primary Immortal Dao Industries, abandoning the deeply processed multi-bloodline reincarnated loss-making products.

This approach indeed offers profitability.

The downside is that the profit is genuinely too low.

This topic is a hot issue for True Dragons, concerning the crucial interests of all True Dragons, the future of their paths. In recent years, when the two True Dragons meet, eight or nine out of ten times they casually discuss this.

“What else is there to think?”

“When the free trade treaty was inscribed within the Heavenly Dao, and we didn’t shatter it, everything was already destined.”

The Broken Gold Dragon Emperor sighed, “It’s just about abandoning the production of widespread dragon beasts and focusing instead on products advantaged in our pathways, like the Dragon Bone Immortal Gold and Dragon Scale Sword Spirit Gold from my Broken Gold Path, investing massive resources continually in R&D and production, improving quality to ensure they occupy a monopoly position in detailed markets within the Endless Starry Sky.”

“Huang Yan senior, your Earth and Immortal Rock—those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures should be no exception.”

“We Dragon Emperors as the leaders, with numerous True Dragons investing in these segmented monopoly markets, eventually everyone can live quite well.”

“Just… ambitions of greatness are unattainable.”

In just ten thousand years of Endless Starry Sky financial and free trade, traces are already visible, even among the Dragon Emperors resistant to change, occasionally uttering terms like finance, currency, segmented market, with astounding research into trade and markets.
