Chapter 525 Three days in heaven, three years on earth
After that dragon's roar resounded, layers of spiritual tides surged in the land of the East Sea Eye.
Within the ancient well, the spiritual energy from the sea eye seemed to be drawn up by some force, slowly rising.
The white Ancestral Dragon Pearl floated above Chen Changsheng's palm, its body gently rotating.
With each rotation, the ancient dragon's might spread out.
The dragon's might was not as domineering and outwardly emanating as the aura emanating from Ao Guang and the others.
Instead, it is profound, weighty, and vast.
It seems to originate from the very source of the dragon bloodline.
The Four Dragon Kings stood there, their faces still showing shock.
"The Ancestral Dragon Pearl..."
Ao Guang murmured to himself.
His gaze was fixed on the white jewel, and his eyes even became slightly moist.
To outsiders, this might just be a priceless treasure.
But for the dragon race, this represents a much greater significance.
Zulong is the ancestor of the dragon race.
During the ancient times when the three races fought for supremacy, the Ancestral Dragon ruled over hundreds of millions of dragons, suppressed the four seas, and his might shook the primordial world.
How glorious were the dragons back then?
However, after the Great Calamity of the Dragon and Han Dynasties, the Ancestral Dragon perished, the Dragon Clan was burdened with karma, its fortune was damaged, and its lineage was incomplete.
Since then, the dragon race has never regained its ancient glory.
Although the Dragon Clan still rules the four seas, they mostly rely on the legacy of their ancestors.
Many truly core bloodline lineages have long been severed.
In particular, the ancient methods left behind by the Ancestral Dragon lineage have been reduced to mere fragments.
Without new opportunities, the dragon race will only grow weaker over countless years.
That's why Ao Guang lost his composure when he learned that what he saw before him was the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.
Ao Run was equally shocked.
She subconsciously looked at Chen Changsheng, her eyes filled with disbelief.
This is the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.
Any dragon that obtains it will consider it a treasure to protect its clan.
Even if Chen Changsheng is not a dragon, the value of the Ancestral Dragon Pearl itself is absolutely immeasurable.
The ancestral dragon origin and inheritance contained within it have great reference value for any powerful being.
But Chen Changsheng simply said he would give it away.
This is an incredibly generous gesture!
"The God of Law Enforcement..."
Ao Run spoke softly, his voice carrying a hint of complexity.
She originally thought that Chen Changsheng recruited the dragon clan more on the orders of Haotian.
Even though he mentioned many benefits, it was ultimately to strengthen the power of the Heavenly Court.
But right now, Chen Changsheng is giving away the Ancestral Dragon Pearl directly.
This is no longer just an empty promise.
Instead, they actually brought out something that could change the fate of the dragon race.
Ao Qin took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, and cupped his hands towards Chen Changsheng, saying, "Fellow Daoist Changsheng, this item is far too precious."
"You...do you really intend to bestow this upon my dragon race?"
Ao Shun also stared intently at Chen Changsheng.
He was initially somewhat unwilling to submit to the Heavenly Court.
After all, although the North Sea Dragon Clan is not as powerful as in ancient times, it is not without its pride.
But now, facing the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, the resentment in his heart has been shattered.
This is not because they coveted the treasure.
It's because the Ancestral Dragon Pearl is too important to the dragon race.
With this item, the incomplete inheritance of the dragon race may be completed.
There is also a chance to purify the dragon bloodline.
It's even possible that a true powerhouse capable of upholding the clan's destiny might emerge again in the future.
Chen Changsheng remained calm as he observed the reactions of the Four Seas Dragon Kings.
He certainly knew that the Ancestral Dragon Pearl was precious.
However, for him, although the Ancestral Dragon Pearl was incredibly valuable, it might not be as valuable as the complete submission of the Dragon Clan.
Moreover, since he intends to bring the Four Seas Dragon Clan under the jurisdiction of the Law Enforcement God Temple, he can't just make empty promises.
We need to be practical sometimes.
Chen Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "Since I said I would give it to you, I will not go back on my word."
"Since the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas is willing to join the Heavenly Court and be under the jurisdiction of my Law Enforcement Heavenly God Palace, then from now on they are our own people."
"At most, this Ancestral Dragon Pearl will only be a collectible in my hands."
"But if it falls into the hands of the dragons, it can help you complete your inheritance and stabilize your clan's fortune."
"Even treasures need to be placed in the right place."
These words, though not harsh, sent a shiver down the spines of the four Dragon Kings.
Kong Xuan listened from the side, his expression slightly strange.
He hadn't expected Chen Changsheng to be so generous.
Even someone like him, the son of the Ancestral Phoenix, wouldn't completely disregard something like the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.
After all, it was a relic of the Ancestral Dragon that was on par with Yuan Feng.
The things contained within are by no means simple.
But Chen Changsheng immediately gave it to the Dragon Clan.
This boldness truly earned Kong Xuan's high regard.
"This kid..."
"They've got a real knack for winning people over."
Kong Xuan muttered to himself.
This time, however, his tone was less sarcastic and more appreciative.
The Golden-Winged Roc's eyes lit up as he watched.
In his opinion, Chen Changsheng's move was absolutely brilliant.
First, dig out the treasure to intimidate the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.
Then, he presented the Ancestral Dragon Pearl on the spot, winning over the Dragon Clan completely.
This is no ordinary strength.
This takes the scope to its maximum.
"Master, that was amazing!"
The Golden-Winged Roc secretly admired it.
"If anyone ever says that all Big Brother does is fight, I'll be the first to disagree."
While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, Ao Guang finally came to his senses.
He took a deep breath and bowed solemnly to Chen Changsheng.
"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, our East Sea Dragon Clan will forever remember your great kindness!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ao Guang knelt down on one knee without the slightest hesitation.
This scene shocked Ao Qin, Ao Shun, and Ao Run.
But they quickly realized what was happening.
The return of the Ancestral Dragon Pearl to its clan is an immense blessing.
It was heavy enough to make the dragons abandon their so-called dignity.
Ao Qin then knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice, "The Dragon Clan of the South Sea is willing to obey the decree of the Law Enforcement God!"
Without hesitation, Ao Shun cupped his hands and bowed, saying, "From this day forward, the North Sea Dragon Clan submits to the command of the Law Enforcement Heavenly God Palace!"
Ao Run parted her red lips slightly and said solemnly, "The Western Sea Dragon Clan is also willing to obey the orders of the Immortal of Longevity."
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas all bowed down.
Where the sea eye gathers the might of dragons.
At this moment, the attitude of the Four Seas Dragon Clan was no longer just a verbal agreement.
Instead, she truly accepted Chen Changsheng from the bottom of her heart.
Upon seeing this, Chen Changsheng nodded slightly.
The place where the East China Sea's eye is located.
The four Dragon Kings bowed down in unison, their dragon might intertwined, and the spiritual energy of the sea eye surged endlessly.
The Ancestral Dragon Pearl floated in mid-air, radiating a vast and ancient white light.
Those wisps of dragon's primordial aura seemed to flow from the depths of ancient times, causing Ao Guang and the others to tremble in their hearts.
Chen Changsheng watched this scene with a calm expression.
The Ancestral Dragon Pearl holds great significance for the Dragon Clan.
But for him, keeping this thing was just another treasured possession.
Now, exchanging the Ancestral Dragon Pearl for the true allegiance of the Four Seas Dragon Clan is a deal that's a win no matter how you look at it.
Moreover, the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas will later be under the command of the Law Enforcement Heavenly God Temple.
The strength of the Dragon Clan is the strength of his Law Enforcement Heavenly God Palace.
Chen Changsheng understood this very well.
"Please rise, my esteemed Dragon Kings."
Chen Changsheng spoke calmly.
"Since the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas is willing to submit to my Law Enforcement Heavenly God Temple, they will be our own people from now on."
"Now that the Ancestral Dragon Pearl has returned to the clan, it should be kept safe."
"This item is related to the fate of the dragon race; do not reveal it lightly."
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Ao Guang immediately stood up and nodded solemnly.
"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Changsheng!"
"The Ancestral Dragon Pearl is the treasure of our Dragon Clan. From this day forward, we will do everything in our power to protect it."
"If it weren't for your great kindness, my Dragon Clan would probably never have known that our ancestor's relics were sleeping by the eye of the East Sea."
At this point, a complex expression appeared on Ao Guang's face.
As the Dragon King of the East Sea, the East Sea Eye is practically right under his nose.
But after all these years, he has never discovered the existence of the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.
If Chen Changsheng hadn't unearthed the treasure today, the Ancestral Dragon Pearl would probably still be buried there, sleeping for who knows how many years.
Ao Qin and Ao Shun also had complicated expressions.
They had previously suspected that Chen Changsheng might have ulterior motives.
They even felt that submitting to the Heavenly Court would damage the reputation of the Dragon Clan.
But now, the Ancestral Dragon Pearl is right in front of us.
Chen Changsheng even gifted it directly to the Dragon Clan.
The slap, though not hitting their faces, was more sobering than if it had.
What about the dignity of the dragon race?
If the dragon race were to decline to the point of extinction, how much dignity would they have left?
With the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, the Dragon Clan had hope of stabilizing their destiny once again.
Ao Run stood to the side, his gaze occasionally falling on Chen Changsheng.
She was equally shaken.
Previously, Chen Changsheng had discovered an opportunity in the West Sea.
Now, having arrived at the East China Sea, they have unearthed the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.
Such methods cannot be explained by luck.
There must be a secret hidden in Chen Changsheng that is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
However, Ao Run did not ask any further questions.
She knew very well that knowing too much about some things was not necessarily a good thing.
Chen Changsheng's willingness to give the Ancestral Dragon Pearl to the Dragon Clan is enough to demonstrate his attitude.
For the rest, the dragons only need to remember the kindness shown to them.
At this moment, Ao Guang put away the Ancestral Dragon Pearl and then looked at Chen Changsheng.
"Fellow Daoist of Immortality."
"Now that all the dragon clans of the four seas have expressed their support, why don't we head to the Heavenly Court now?"
"This will also let the Jade Emperor know that our Dragon Clan is willing to enter the Heavenly Court and be under the jurisdiction of the Law Enforcement Heavenly God Palace."
Ao Qin and Ao Shun both nodded in agreement.
Now that the matter has been settled, it is best to see the Heavenly Emperor as soon as possible.
After all, although they were nominally under the jurisdiction of the Law Enforcement Heavenly God Temple, they were ultimately still part of the Heavenly Court.
This step was inevitable sooner or later.
Kong Xuan also looked at Chen Changsheng.
This time he didn't say much.
He wanted to see how Haotian would react after Chen Changsheng took the Four Dragon Kings to heaven.
After all, the Heavenly Court had encountered setbacks more than once when trying to recruit the Dragon Clan.
Now, Chen Changsheng has descended to the mortal realm, not only making the dragon clans of the four seas submit, but also conveniently giving away the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.
In this way, the Dragon Clan's loyalty to Chen Changsheng is probably even deeper than their loyalty to the Heavenly Court.
If Haotian knew, his expression would be priceless.
The Golden-Winged Roc was beaming with excitement.
"Master, are we going to the Heavenly Court now?"
"Bringing the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas back with us, that's quite a show!"
"Now I want to see what kind of expressions those gods have on their faces."
Chen Changsheng glanced at the Golden-Winged Roc and smiled faintly.
"What's the rush?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
Ao Guang asked in confusion, "What does Fellow Daoist Changsheng mean...?"
Chen Changsheng put away the shovel and stood with his hands behind his back.
"Three days in heaven are equivalent to three years on earth."
"It will still be some time before I return to Heaven to report."
"I have something else to take care of right now, so I'm not in a hurry to go to heaven."
