Chapter 577: Chapter 457: Exposed?
At this moment, the old man in the grey robe felt a lingering fear.
"Eternal Emperor of Hell, Rongka. I didn’t expect your foresight to be this far-reaching,"
said the old man.
This old man was none other than Asus, the Chairman of the Dragon Clan. With the power accumulated over ten thousand years, he easily controlled Yake. He awakened the deep-seated fear in Yake’s heart, attempting to influence him in this way and end the war. According to various information from the Dragon Clan, the White Dragon Empire favored money and was the least willing nation to go to war. As long as the Black Dragon Empire could be persuaded to cease the fighting voluntarily, Gulelie’s balanced plan would not be introduced, and everything would calm down.
However, it was clear that even if Yake genuinely desired peace, Eternal Emperor Rongka would not agree.
This damn bastard!
Asus felt an extreme rage. The Dragon Clan was deliberating action against humans, and he wanted to preemptively end this war. But Rongka interfered at this critical moment!
As an ancient dragon who had lived from that age to the present, Asus naturally knew who Rongka was and the extent of Rongka’s power. If the Giants hadn’t cursed the Dragon Clan and deprivated them of their Dragon Power, they wouldn’t be trapped in the Human Realm unable to return to the Dragon Star. As for Rongka, they wouldn’t give a damn. However, the current Dragon Clan could only be described as large creatures capable of exhaling Dragon Breath - they couldn’t harness their Dragon Power and had to rely solely on instinct.
This was precisely why Chairman Gulelie was so adamant about maintaining the status quo of the continent. Over the years, the Dragon Clan mastered the ability to transform into humans, and as humans, they could even freely exert their powers. That was progress, according to Gulelie. He firmly believes that as long as they continue down this path, there will come a day when the Dragon Clan can reclaim all its power.
When that time comes, Gulelie will eradicate all humans, turning the entire Human Realm into scorched earth!
Thinking of this, Asus couldn’t help but heave a sigh. As part of the Dragon Clan, he desired the restoration of their power. However, he truly did not wish for harm to befall the humans.
After all, these humans were the most precious treasures of his best friend!
Apparently, he had already alarmed Rongka, which meant he would probably gain nothing further from Yake. So, his next visit should be to the one called Long Yi.
Recently, the majority of news on the continent was related to this person called Long Yi. Because of Long Yi’s arrival, the Black Dragon Empire’s people had been saved from certain death. Without Long Yi, the Black Dragon Empire would have dominated. Asus’ balanced plan would have been implemented sooner, and the likes of Kaniel, Yake, and that person called Tilian would have fallen prematurely, inevitably bringing peace to the continent.
However, the White Dragon Empire now had Long Yi. This seemingly sudden individual single-handedly rallied the entire White Dragon Empire, greatly turning the precarious situation of the White Dragon Empire around. It was him who implanted the subconscious fear in Yake, who had turned into a monster.
Long Yi’s girlfriend was from the Celestial Clan.
Long Yi also had a close relationship with the princess of the Sea Clan.
Long Yi even had a Fairy Dragon for a girlfriend.
A woman with Dragon Power followed Long Yi around.
Long Yi was accompanied by a small girl capable of defeating twelve Hell Dragon Warriors with a single blow.
Long Yi led a strong and sexy female army.
Long Yi redesigned Battle Armors.
Long Yi transformed the White Dragon.
Long Yi changed the Dragon Knight.
Was there anything that this Long Yi couldn’t do?
The sheer amount of news about him alone seemed to exceed that of all other news on the continent combined! Could he use Long Yi as a means to end Gulelie’s interference? If Long Yi abandons his battle plan, the balance of the war would dramatically shift in favor of the Black Dragon Empire, leading Gulelie’s balanced plan to tackle only the Black Dragon Empire.
In this way, it might minimize the loss of human lives. After all, compared to the monster Yake, it would be such a shame if the genius Long Yi were to fall.
While thinking this, Asus had already arrived within the White Dragon Empire’s borders. With his tremendous power, finding a person was incredibly easy.
Moreover, this person named Long Yi doesn’t seem to be on guard at all.
At this moment, Long Yi was leisurely strolling down the street. Today, he had nothing specific to do, so he decided to invite Ai Lin for a walk in the town. As a boyfriend, always leaving his girlfriend in the camp was nothing short of a crime!
From a distance, Asus saw Long Yi’s tall figure and knew for certain that he had found the right person. So, he immediately tried to use the same tactic he had used on Yake to lure Long Yi away.
But before he could act, Long Yi alertly turned his head and looked at him.
"Dragon Clan?"
At that glance, Asus felt as if his heart was about to leap out of his chest!
"Giant!"
Hearing these words, it was now Long Yi’s turn to feel as if his heart was about to leap out of his chest. Damn! He had been exposed!
In an instant, dozens of thoughts raced through Long Yi’s mind about how he could keep the life and Dragon Soul of the old dragon in front of him right here!
However, the tears in Asus’ eyes made Long Yi withdraw all the murderous intent he had not yet revealed.
"Have you finally come to forgive us?"
Asus actually fell to his knees before Long Yi!
Long Yi was completely stunned.
Apparently, this old dragon in front of him was aware of the past events, and it seemed that he was one of those who felt guilty about them!
But! Is this really true? Can I ensure that this isn’t a trap?
I can!
The old man’s sorrow affected Long Yi, who helped the old man up and walked quietly back to his small villa. Thanks to Long Yi’s good reputation, nobody found the situation that suddenly occurred on the street strange.
Arriving at the villa, Long Yi helped the old man sit on a large sofa, then sat down across from him.
Asus felt embarrassed about his sudden mental collapse, while Long Yi had no idea what to say.
"So, you’re a Giant." Asus said.
"Yes." Long Yi nodded, he knew it was impossible to hide! This old dragon, like Black Dragon Tyl, had sharp eyes!
"Ah... This explains everything." Asus shook his head. In his view, any abnormality was immediately normalized if tied with the Giants.
Long Yi nodded in silence. He had brought the old dragon to the villa for a reason. If a war were to break out, they could quickly get support from the Imperial City, and since few people lived here, it wouldn’t cause significant losses.
Yes, he still didn’t trust the old dragon completely.
Asus clearly noticed the caution in Long Yi’s eyes. He gave a slight smile and introduced himself first, "My name is Asus, I am the Chairman of the Dragon Clan."
Asus? This name sounded familiar! It seems he had heard it somewhere.
Where though?
Ah! That’s right!
It was the owner of the Giant’s tablet! He once mentioned the name Asus!
"There’s a Giant," Long Yi suddenly said, "who claims to be your friend. He entrusted me to tell you something."
"Friend?" Asus felt his heartbeat accelerate again. Among the Giants, there weren’t many people he could call friends! "What, what did he say?" Asus asked cautiously.
"He said, don’t take the attack on the Giants by the Dragon Clan to heart, the Giants don’t blame you." said Long Yi.
On hearing this, Asus felt as if his heartbeat would stop. From that day forward, self-blame had always tormented him, and so had the accompanying curse on every member of the Dragon Clan. Almost every sentient creature in the multiverse spread tales of the Dragon Clan’s betrayal.
The Dragon Clan’s guilt for the Giants was slowly turning into hatred of the Giants. This hatred would once again deepen their guilt.
But more than that.
It was fear.
When the Dragon Clan first attacked the Giants, they did not inflict much damage on the Giants, yet they themselves suffered heavy casualties. In the end, the Giants left and even disappeared, but it was hard to say whether it was due to the Dragon Clan’s powerful attack that the Giants left.
Almost every member of the Dragon Clan was fearful of this – if the Giants returned and took revenge on them, what would the Dragon Clan do? How would the Dragon Clan, which had lost all power and had not reproduced for many years, resist the fury of the Giants?
Nothing.
There is nothing they could use.
So, remorse, anger, and fear have become all that the Dragon Clan’s daily life consisted of.
And now, Long Yi, told him that the Giants did not blame them!
Why? Was it due to the Giants’ consistent generosity and enlightenment? Or was it for another reason?
"You are, a Pioneer?" Asus carefully asked.
"Yes, I am a Pioneer." Long Yi said. Every object related to the Giants confirmed that he was a Pioneer, so it should be the case, though Long Yi didn’t even know what a Pioneer was.
"I see, it seems, your power has been sealed." Asus said.
"Old man, could you stop calling me ’you’? I am a lot younger than you, it makes me feel uncomfortable." Long Yi replied.
"No no, since you are from the Pioneer bloodline, no matter what, you can’t possibly be younger than me, it’s just that you don’t know it yet." Asus responded.
"Can you tell me?" Long Yi was very curious.
"Actually... I’m not entirely sure how the Giants define the Pioneer bloodline. This is an extremely ancient bloodline. It can be traced back to the first technological explosion of the Giants, beyond that, I don’t know... I just know that whenever a Pioneer appears, it greatly advances the civilization of a planet." Asus said.
Well, that was almost like saying nothing.
"Alright then, Chairman Asus, since you are the Chairman of the Dragon Clan, why not use this opportunity to do me a favor by pulling some strings and gathering an army of tens or even hundreds of thousands of Dragon Clan soldiers to help me topple the Black Dragon Empire? What do you think?" It would be a waste not to use this opportunity.
"No, that’s impossible. In fact, the reason I came this time was to discuss this matter. Chairman Gulelie is pushing to rebalance the human world. This means that your power, along with Yake and Tilian of the Black Dragon Empire, are both on the blacklist. I strongly suggest you immediately cease all activities to expand your power and hide. Although you’re a Giant, your power has been sealed, and you are in great danger facing the Dragon Clan’s rebalance!"
Listening to what Asus said, the smile on Long Yi’s face disappeared.
"Old man, do you mean that this so-called ’rebalancing’ is effectively shooting the leading bird?" Long Yi asked. (To be continued. If you love this book, welcome to qidian.com to recommend and vote, your support is my greatest motivation. For mobile readers, please visit m.qidian.com to read).
