Chapter 650 - 15: East Sea Dragon Race, Fallen God’s Remains

In the Crystal Palace of the East Sea Dragon Race, thousands of miles away.

Ao Guang silently looked at Ying Long across from him and finally spoke after a long time.

"I guess you aren't here to negotiate with me, are you?"

Unlike Ao Guang, Ying Long hadn't transformed into a human form with a dragon head.

With wings spread open behind him, Ying Long simply held his dragon head high, exuding an unmistakable dominance.

"If you consider this a threat, then it's a threat!"

Ying Long's powerful voice echoed in the sea, resonating even within the Crystal Palace.

Upon hearing his voice, the dragon heirs and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals outside the Crystal Palace were angry but dared not speak out.

After all, Ying Long was in the Crystal Palace now, not invited in by those dragon offspring, shrimp soldiers, and crab generals.

The flickering lightning and tsunamis along the way were Ying Long's confidence in barging into the Crystal Palace.

Being of the same Dragon Race, Ao Guang could distinctly sense the might of this winged dragon.

Although not yet having proven his way, the rebellious aura Ying Long exuded was no less than that of his father—the Dragon Monarch Jimon.

The most crucial point was that although Ao Guang was just a step away from Refining Spirit and Returning to Void, he was completely suppressed by this winged dragon.

"Our East Sea Dragon Race has no desire to become embroiled in the conflict between the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and Great Xia."

Despite feeling immense pressure, Ao Guang still braced himself to refuse Ying Long.

The next second, several dragon offspring behind him simultaneously drew their weapons, gazing warily at Ying Long.

As a dominating force from another world, although the Dragon Race had remained low-key in this world due to the Tao Ancestor,

it didn't mean their pride had completely disappeared.

On the contrary, faced with Ying Long's blatant threat, all the dragons felt indignant.

If not for Ao Guang extending a hand to stop them, the Crystal Palace would have already turned into a battlefield.

As for whether they could win the battle?

That was never something these dragon heirs considered.

"Well, quite spirited!"

Having witnessed the cowardice of these dragon offspring, shrimp soldiers, and crab generals all along, Ying Long's face rarely showed a hint of surprise.

Just as the battle was about to commence, a figure suddenly appeared in the Crystal Palace.

Upon seeing the figure, all the dragons including Ao Guang lowered their heads, offering their highest respect.

Seeing that figure, Ying Long also immediately collected his arrogance.

"Xiluo didn't send you here to handle matters like this, did she?"

With a hint of helplessness, Divine Monarch Mengzhang rubbed his temples, slightly vexed.

Though he had set off the moment he heard the news,

it seemed he was still a step too late.

The only consolation was that the situation hadn't escalated to an irreconcilable extent yet.

"Divine Monarch..."

Opening his mouth with hesitation, Ying Long eventually gave up explaining.

Then, under Ao Guang's astonished gaze, Ying Long took out a golden scroll from his chest.

Ao Guang recognized that scroll since his name had been recorded on this Jade Pool Celestial Book when he was subdued by the Queen Mother of the West.

"You..."

Regarding Ying Long with a complex expression, it was now Ao Guang's turn to hesitate.

In fact, he wanted to ask, since you came under orders from the Queen Mother of the West and possessed a Celestial Book, why did you deliberately escalate the conflict?

Clearly, just presenting this Celestial Book would make him unable to refuse any of the opponent's requests.

"Because he looks down on you."

In the end, it was Divine Monarch Mengzhang's simple statement that revealed Ying Long's subtle thoughts.

"He hails from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range under the Tao Ancestor, where everyone is determined to thrive like the rising sun."

"In contrast, since you arrived at the East Sea, your fighting spirit has dissipated, more desolate than the setting sun."

When saying this, Divine Monarch Mengzhang gave Ao Guang a severe look.

"..."

Never would Ao Guang have expected this to be the reason, leaving him silent once more.

Fortunately, Divine Monarch Mengzhang didn't linger on the issue but turned again to Ying Long and said,

"The East Sea Dragon Race will assist you."

"Not only to disperse the creatures of that sea region, but they can even help the Hundred Lands Mountain Range set up the 'Profound Garden Barrier' in the East Sea."

At this point, Divine Monarch Mengzhang paused for a moment.

Due to his position, there were no secrets within the Hundred Lands Mountain Range for Divine Monarch Mengzhang.

Be it the complex internal factional struggles or the external expansion's "trial point plan,"

whatever knowledge Divine Monarch Mengzhang wished to acquire, he could.

"..."

Ying Long did not interrupt Divine Monarch Mengzhang's speech, knowing that the latter surely hadn't finished.

As Ying Long expected, Divine Monarch Mengzhang soon presented his own condition.

"Those Jin'ao turtles are after all creatures of the East Sea, besides which they have already shown potential to develop wisdom."

"So my sole condition is, regardless of whether you choose to drive them away or imprison them, you must not annihilate their kind."

"No, if possible, I'd prefer your actions to avoid harming any life in the East Sea."

Divine Monarch Mengzhang's statement undoubtedly raised the difficulty for the actions of the Longbo Giants.

However, Ying Long agreed almost without hesitation and also keenly picked up some of the undertones in Divine Monarch Mengzhang's words.

"No problem, we weren't planning to kill those Jin'ao turtles anyway."

"But from your words, it seems you know something about those Jin'ao turtles?"

Hearing this, Divine Monarch Mengzhang first chuckled and shook his head before nodding and responding.

"To be precise, it's not the situation of those Jin'ao turtles that I know, but rather about that Headless Buddha Statue."

Seeing the look of surprise on Ying Long's face, Divine Monarch Mengzhang calmly explained.

"Those Jin'ao turtles migrated from the North Sea to the East Sea not of their own accord."

"In reality, someone led them to the East Sea, with the aim being that Headless Buddha Statue in the 'Biyou Palace'."

As Divine Monarch Mengzhang explained little by little, it wasn't just Ying Long but all the other dragons in the Crystal Palace perked up to listen.

"That Headless Buddha Statue was not initially a 'Buddha,' but a magical stone from beyond the heavens."

In this Mythical Era, it's not unusual for meteorites to fall from the sky.

Some powerful gods might even actively go to the starry sky to capture those meteorites that contain the power of the stars.

However, for that stone to be called a "magical stone" by Divine Monarch Mengzhang, it naturally had its unique qualities.

"That magical stone was transformed from the corpse of a god who had ventured into outer space."

"Though the god had died, divine power remained, and the leftover magical stone could project the 'shape of all things'."
