Chapter 848: Chapter 524: Thunder Cliff

If comparing overall strength,

then the current Human Race doesn’t even match up to a single finger of the Dragon Race.

The Dragon Race not only possesses more than ten Great Saints,

but also has the immensely powerful Ancestral Dragon as its strongest Great Saint.

In comparison with the Human Race’s Immortal system of later generations,

the Dragon Race has more than ten True Immortals and Profound Immortals.

As a Golden Immortal, the Ancestral Dragon occupies the top tier among more than ten Great Saints of Golden Immortal Level in the entire Demon Race.

On the Witch Demon Continent, only forces of Immortal Level are recognized and renowned.

For example, notable forces within the Demon Race and some Witch Race clans outside the Twelve Clans.

Possessing Golden Immortal status is necessary to become the protagonist on the Witch Demon Continent stage.

Such as the Twelve Ancestral Witches,

or immensely powerful Great Saints like the Ancestral Dragon.

"However, these incredibly powerful Great Saints seem to be under some constraint."

"They hardly ever descend upon the Witch Demon Continent."

"Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Ancestral Dragon, and other powerful figures of the Demon Race."

"Take for instance the Candle Dragon, who vanished early on."

"Similarly, there’s no trace of the famous Sun Candlelight and Taiyin Youying."

"Even the once equally famous Qilin Phoenix alongside the Ancestral Dragon has no significant information."

The Ancestral Spirit tapped on the table during the council.

The surrounding cultivators all wore heavy expressions; the proposal before them was excessively bold.

To actually consider leveraging their power to interfere in Human Race affairs.

"But isn’t it too early for us to confront the Dragon Race?"

Power Element Demon Monarch’s expression was solemn.

Even though Golden Immortal Level Great Saints rarely take action,

the number of ordinary Great Saints within the Dragon Race is certainly notable.

"All of you are mistaken."

Wan’e Fairy’s gaze was sharp, drawing all the attentions towards her.

"We are not actually confronting the Dragon Race."

Confronting the Dragon Race?

That would be pure folly.

Even without the Dragon Race mobilizing directly, if they merely allow the surrounding Demon Countries to invade,

no need for the Sea Race to act.

Land Demon Countries alone could seriously damage or even annihilate the current Human Race.

"Instead of calling it confrontation, it’s more about showcasing the strength we’ve accumulated from our thousand years of rapid development."

"Moreover, we are merely supporting Prince Ao Xue, supporting the Starry Sea Dragon Palace."

"This is a dispute among the Dragon Race, with varied powers within the Dragon Palace."

"As far as I know, the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Array is a Dragon Race punishment method towards their important clanspeople, once deployed, True Dragon envoys from Five Seas Dragon Palace will be sent."

"And within the True Dragons, they are not of a single mind, there are grievances among them."

"According to the information, there’s a significant likelihood someone will act at this moment."

"We don’t need to directly confront the Dragon Race; Ao Xue is favored by the Dragon King, who wouldn’t genuinely wish to punish him."

"We just need to endure any potential forces from the Four Seas Dragon Palace."

"In doing so, express our loyalty."

"According to insider news, there’s continuous antagonism from North Sea Dragon Palace towards Starry Sea Dragon Palace."

"This might be an opportunity."

Such is the purpose of this council.

Though the Human Race currently has six Divinity Transformation beings, they surpass some Demon Race forces overall, but are far from challenging the Dragon Palace.

The current goal is singular: to flex our muscles.

And to express loyalty.

For instance, the Human Race is willing to brandish the Dragon Race’s banner to expand across the continent.

The Dragon Race hesitates to directly clash with the Demon Race.

But the Dragon Race would certainly welcome a subordinate race assisting them against land Demon Countries.

This approach prevents the adversary from deploying high-level forces.

Additionally, there are numerous other reasons.

For example, this is a request from Zhao Fu, and the Ancestral Spirit can even perceive an unusual relationship between Zhao Fu and Ao Xue.

Moreover, the next Starry Sea Dragon King position remains undecided.

When the Dragon King reaches a certain age, he retires, and the strongest True Dragon of the next generation takes the role.

Their assistance to Ao Xue is also akin to placing a bet.

Certainly, not all Human Race experts are aware of the detailed intricacies.

They merely know that Ao Xue is at a critical juncture, with a fifty percent chance of recovery.

A fifty percent chance, quite large; the Human Race dares to make a breakthrough with just a five percent risk.

Of course, tribal plans differ from personal ventures.

But even if they fail, it won’t matter greatly.

After all, Ao Xue holds significant influence in Starry Sea.

Agitating the other Four Seas is inconsequential, the Five Seas Dragon Palace’s powers are equivalent, and the Great Saints above won’t permit large-scale internal conflict; with Starry Sea Dragon Palace’s protection, the Human Race won’t face major danger.

Furthermore, the deepest relationship the Human Race has in the Dragon Palace, Prince Ao Wui, seems about to break through to a Great Saint.

Such a robust support, it would be a waste not to seize it.

Having weighed pros and cons, the Cultivation Council’s six Divinity Transformation beings voted with four in favor, one against, and one abstention, passing the plan...

...............

On the island claimed by the Human Race, named Origin Island, where they first landed.

At the center of the island, stands a range of towering mountains.

At the peak of the mountain range.

A white-robed cultivator’s face was pale, the longsword before him trembled ceaselessly.

A Flowing Light appeared by his side in an instant.

"Zhao Fu, your proposal has been approved."

"You’re fortunate the timing is favorable, otherwise despite being a pillar of the Human Race, they wouldn’t risk it on your behalf."

The Ancestral Spirit said with a smile.

But the smile froze on his face suddenly.

He stared fixedly at Zhao Fu.

Zhao Fu, however, remained oblivious, speaking with eyes closed: "Naturally."

"The Human Race has been silently arming and cautiously advancing for a millennium."

"The developed power has already far exceeded the confines of solely defending the Star Sea."

"Though exploiting reliance on the Dragon Race to swallow some Demon Countries seems premature, it’s close enough."
