Chapter 2336: Ambition
"Sabotage the wall?" Yun Lintian was slightly surprised.
"The God of Time's movement was too strange. He had the power to stop the Primordial War, but he chose to do nothing. He also did nothing when the Void Creatures poured in. Instead, he showed up at the final moment when we were about to completely seal the wall," Long Yi said with a frown.
"Although it was faint, I could feel the evil intention from him. He clearly wanted to capture the Dragon Emperor, but before he could do anything, the God of Death appeared on the scene and told us to leave. Later, we learned that the God of Mortals managed to defeat both the God of Time and the God of Death."
Yun Lintian narrowed his eyes slightly. It aligned with what Tian He had told him. The God of Mortals was lurking in the dark and found an opportunity to bring the God of Time down.
He saw a clearer picture now. It must have been the God of Death who did all the work, and the benefit ended up in the God of Mortals' hands in the end.
"What's his motivation? Why would he want to destroy the Primal Chaos?" Yun Lintian asked in doubt.
"No one knows," Long Yi shook his head. "I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse that the God of Mortals successfully eliminated him. After all, we have seen his ambition over the years."
"You mean the Primordial God Tribe?" Yun Lintian asked.
"Yes," Long Yi responded. "From what we know, the God of Mortals suffered a heavy injury and he had to pass down his legacy to his successor. However, we believe that the successor was actually his other self. This person has also inherited his ambition to rule the Primal Chaos."
Yun Lintian frowned slightly. If there was no mistake, he would eventually meet Fan Shen in the near future. He wasn't sure if he could fight him head-on. After all, he had never seen the power of a Primordial God with his own eyes. Not to mention Fan Shen seemed to possess the power of time.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know the whereabouts of the other inheritors?"
"Unfortunately, no," Long Yi replied with a sigh. "It's beyond our current ability to track them down."
Yun Lintian was a bit disappointed, but there was nothing he could do.
"What is your decision?" Long Yi asked.
Yun Lintian remained silent for a while and replied, "The Dragon God Clan belongs to Qingxuan. However, as her husband and the inheritor of Senior Dragon God, I will not stand by in the face of threats against the Dragon God Clan."
"Can you tell me the reason?" Long Yi seemed to have expected this answer.
"It's not as deep as you thought," Yun Lintian said gently. "I have a bigger matter to attend to. It's impossible for me to stay here to preside over the clan. Moreover, while I am inheriting Senior Dragon God's power, I am human in the eyes of outsiders. Instead of putting me at the helm, Qingxuan is much more suitable."
Long Yi took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said, "You are indeed different. We finally understand why the Dragon Emperor chose you."
"You think too highly of me, Senior," Yun Lintian said gently. He was willing to call them seniors now. "I wasn't indifferent to fame and fortune, but rather I didn't have time to enjoy them. They are all meaningless to me currently. It would be different in the future."
Long Yi and the others smiled and said nothing.
"Can I see Senior Long now?" Yun Lintian asked.
Long Wu looked at Long Yi, and the latter nodded slightly.
"Follow me," Long Wu said and left the hall.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yun Lintian cupped his fists to the remaining four Dragon Ancestors before following Long Wu out.
"With him here, we can be at ease," Long Si said with relief. The abnormal energy within his body grew chaotic.
Long Yi stepped forward and used his power to suppress it for Long Si.
"You don't have to waste your energy, Big Brother. I know that I'm beyond help," Long Si sighed softly.
"Perhaps he can help us," Long Yi said with a serious expression. "I can feel the power of the God of Life within his bloodline. He might not notice it himself."
Long Si and the others were surprised.
"Is he...?" Long Er suddenly made a bold guess.
"It's possible," Long Yi nodded slightly. "However, I can't think of anyone who is worthy of the God of Life."
"The God of Fate?" Long San spoke up.
Long Yi shook his head. "Shouldn't be. I can't feel his power."
Everyone looked at each other and went silent.
After leaving the hall, Long Wu led Yun Lintian into an isolated courtyard next to a gigantic waterfall.
"He's here. You can go in," Long Wu said calmly and left.
Yun Lintian could see that Long Wu was dissatisfied with Long Yi's decision. He was puzzled about why Long Wu hated Long Xuan so much.
Shaking his head, Yun Lintian walked into the courtyard and saw Long Xuan sitting in the garden, staring at the waterfall in the distance with a cup of tea in his hand.
"It seems your life here isn't as bad as I thought," Yun Lintian couldn't help but say.
Long Xuan was surprised and turned to look at Yun Lintian. "Oh? You are still alive, Little Sprout."
His power had been completely sealed, and his divine perception was gone. He couldn't sense Yun Lintian's arrival earlier.
"Did you get caught as well?" Long Xuan asked as he looked at Yun Lintian curiously. "That's not right. Your power hasn't been sealed. Don't tell me you have already killed those old
fogeys?"
Yun Lintian chuckled and said, "That was my original plan. Unfortunately, they were not as bad as I thought."
He approached Long Xuan and reached out to grab the latter's shoulder. As he channeled his divine energy, Long Xuan immediately noticed that the seal on his Divine Beast Core began to
loosen.
A moment later, the seal was broken, and Long Xuan quickly regained his strength.
Yun Lintian retracted his hand and asked, "How did you end up in this state?"
"Hmph!" Long Xuan snorted coldly, refusing to elaborate on it. Clearly, he was too embarrassed to speak.
Yun Lintian didn't pursue it further and asked, "Do you know where Qingxuan lives?" "Come with me," Long Xuan said and grabbed Yun Lintian's shoulder before disappearing from the place.
