**Chapter 1797: Seductive Words**
"No, besides the Dragon Empress, there is one other matter that could make the Dragon Emperor unwilling to give up halfway even in the face of the Northern Domain's chaos and the Eastern Domain's upheaval."
Zhou Xuzi raised his head slightly, a look of longing in his eyes as he slowly spoke words that shook the souls of all the dragon gods and dragon spirits present: "The chance to become a god."
This was a term that no one—not even the Dragon Emperor, not any Divine Emperor, not any Xuan practitioner—could possibly resist.
Even the dragon gods themselves felt their hearts and souls tremble for a long time before these words. Baihong Dragon God stepped forward and said, "You mean..."
"No, it's just a guess," Zhou Xuzi said. "But even if it's only one in a thousand, one in ten thousand possibility. If he were to fail due to external interference... do you know the consequences?"
This time, even Feimie Dragon God's dragon eyes twitched violently.
To break through the limits of the current world and become a god—this was the highest pursuit of every Divine Emperor in the history of the God Realm. Almost all of them spent the remainder of their lives striving for this goal.
Although no one had ever succeeded, generation after generation continued to pursue it, willing to do anything, to use any means.
Just like the Star God Emperor, who, for just one possibility, did not hesitate to sacrifice his three most talented children.
What Zhou Tian Shen Di said was correct. Apart from the Dragon Empress, the thing that could make the Dragon Emperor act like this—the greatest possibility, even the only possibility—was that he had found some opportunity, or had suddenly touched that boundary himself.
Therefore, this time he had gone far away without telling anyone, not even the dragon gods.
Therefore, he had specifically instructed: Do not disturb.
Following Zhou Tian Shen Di's line of thought, the more the dragon gods pondered it, the more likely it seemed.
In the current God Realm, if there was anyone who could touch the level of a god, then without a doubt, the greatest possibility was the Dragon Emperor.
At that moment, a drop of cold sweat slowly slid down Feimie Dragon God's forehead.
If this were true, then if the Dragon Emperor failed because of his repeated rash interruptions, the guilt would be unimaginably great... An opportunity like this, if missed once, might very well be eternal.
Compared to the chance to become a god, what were the Northern Domain's calamity, the Eastern Domain's catastrophe, the Southern Domain's disaster? They were all so insignificant.
When he succeeded and returned with power that surpassed all limits, crushing the demon race would be as easy as snapping a finger. The era of the God Realm would completely change, and the status of the Dragon God Clan would rise even higher than the heavens.
With this thought, Feimie Dragon God nodded solemnly at Zhou Xuzi and said sincerely, "Zhou Tian Shen Di's words have been an enlightenment. I was nearly driven by anxiety to defy orders and disturb again, which would have caused a major disaster."
"Mm." Fei Zhi Dragon God also nodded heavily. "This matter is of utmost importance. Even if there is only one in ten thousand possibility, we must not disturb the Dragon Emperor again. Besides, even if the Dragon Emperor is not doing this, what harm is there in letting that Yun Che be arrogant for another two months?"
All the dragon gods nodded one by one, with no one objecting. After all, in the face of the "Dragon Emperor's opportunity to become a god," who would dare take even a tiny risk?
Cang Zhi Dragon God's blue eyes flickered, as if he wanted to say something. But immediately, the Dragon Emperor's violent reaction back then and his soul-shaking instructions replayed before his eyes... He finally remained silent and nodded in agreement.
"However," Feimie Dragon God's pupils churned like molten magma again, "although we cannot mobilize the entire realm to annihilate all the demons, since Huijin is dead, we absolutely cannot sit idly by. Otherwise, wouldn't the world think that our Dragon God Realm fears that group of demons?"
"Of course," Cang Zhi Dragon God said. "The Nanming Divine Realm has been destroyed, and the other three realms have been terrified. The other five realms of the Western Domain will also be frightened by this. If we don't drive a deep wound into the demons this time, with the 'example' of those three wastes in the Southern Domain, I'm afraid those five realms will also be scared before the battle even starts. Then they'll put in one part effort and nine parts self-preservation—ha, that would be far too ugly."
Although Cang Zhi Dragon God's words were harsh, it was a problem that had to be faced. Unlike the Northern Domain's demons, who fought as if their lives depended on it, the primary thought of every king realm in the other three domains was to protect themselves... None of them wanted their hundreds of thousands of years of foundation to be destroyed by disaster. The greater the threat, the more they only wanted to push others to die for them.
"Big brother, you decide," Baihong Dragon God said.
Feimie Dragon God paced slowly, each step pounding against his heart.
He stood before the palace gates, his gaze piercing through space toward the far east. In the sudden silence that fell, he said in a low voice, "The blood debt for Huijin shall be repaid tenfold."
Boom—
His dragon eyes opened, shaking everything for a thousand miles.
"Fei Zhi, you will personally go again to the Qilin, Di Chi, Qing Long, Hui Long, and Wan Xiang realms. Tell them they must complete all war preparations within two months. When the Dragon Emperor returns to the realm, he must be able to command the power of all five realms with a single word."
Fei Zhi Dragon God nodded. "Alright. Though I don't think it's necessary to use their strength."
"As for the blood debt for Huijin," Feimie Dragon God's words were as mighty as if the heavens were falling, "I will take care of it personally!"
The profound formation before the hall flickered, and with a flash of dragon shadow, another messenger dragon guard arrived.
"Reporting to all Dragon God Lords: Urgent news from the Eastern Domain. The demons occupying the various realms of the Eastern God Domain have begun a large-scale northward migration. It happened suddenly and was extremely swift and hasty. Although we could not investigate deeply, the scale should be large. It is very likely that all demons stationed in the Eastern God Domain are preparing to move north."
The seven dragon gods looked solemn and turned to Feimie Dragon God.
"Moving north, retreating to the Northern God Domain?" Cang Zhi Dragon God pondered.
"It seems that what happened in the Southern God Domain was also unexpected for the demons stationed in the Eastern God Domain," Zhou Xuzi said. "They had no prior preparation. With Huijin Dragon God dead, they know they will surely face the wrath of the Dragon God Realm. And the core of the demon race's power is currently in the Southern God Domain. If they incur the dragon's fury, they will suffer heavy losses."
"Therefore, before the dragon's wrath descends, they quickly retreat to the Northern God Domain, where they can be safe and sound, and then plan their next move," Zhou Xuzi sighed. "This Demon Empress acts decisively and ruthlessly—truly fearsome."
"Hmph, trying to avoid the sharp edge and cut off an arm to save themselves?" Feimie Dragon God's voice was dark and sinister. "Very well. Then let the border of the Northern Domain be stained with blood for ten thousand miles, so that these lowly demons, and all the beings of this world, will forever remember the price of angering a dragon god."
The Dragon God Realm was incomparably powerful, but it had never deigned to bully the weak, nor had it ever used its power to provoke war. The strongest dragon gods had even been willing to hide their edge for over two hundred thousand years.
Now that the heavens of the God Realm were changing color, it was time for the dragon claws and dragon might, silent for too long, to reappear in the sky.
"Suxin, you will come with me. Now." Feimie Dragon God said heavily, his dragon aura rising as he clearly prepared to leave immediately.
"Alright." Suxin Dragon God replied briefly.
"Wait, only big brother and Suxin?" Bihuo Dragon God said, his eyes restless, clearly eager to act. "I want to go too!"
"No need." Feimie Dragon God said indifferently. "Two is enough. If too many go, wouldn't it seem like we think too highly of them? That would instead diminish the prestige of our dragon gods."
As the words fell, a storm swept across the sky. In the twisted space, Feimie Dragon God's figure was already far in the distance, with Suxin Dragon God following closely behind. Two auras of dragon gods pointed straight toward the northeast.
Meanwhile, in the Eastern God Domain, Zhou Tian Realm.
Inside a quiet barrier, Chi Wuyue, who had had her eyes closed for a long time, slowly opened them. A strange black light slowly faded from her pupils.
"Two months," Chi Wuyue murmured softly, a faint, almost imperceptible seductive smile on her lips.
In that time, so many things could be done.
But there was one thing that increasingly bothered her.
Did the Dragon Emperor go deep into the Tai Chu Divine Realm because of his own reasons, or because of external interference?
At first, Chi Wuyue had only thought the timing was too coincidental—just before the Northern God Domain's invasion of the Eastern God Domain—so she had some suspicions.
Now, her astonishment had multiplied dozens of times.
If it was external interference, then what kind of method did that person use to lure someone like the Dragon Emperor into the Tai Chu Divine Realm for so long, and even hide the reason from everyone?
What kind of method made the Dragon Emperor unwilling to leave even after hearing that Yun Che had returned and the Eastern Domain had fallen?
It couldn't be... the so-called "chance to become a god" that she had just made up on the spot, could it?
With a wave of her snow-white hand, the barrier instantly collapsed. Jie Xin and Jie Ling, who had been waiting outside for a long time, quickly prostrated themselves.
"Master, all parties have secretly prepared profound ships, awaiting only your order," Jie Xin said.
"Tell them to act in five hours. On the Southern God Domain side, someone will naturally be there to receive them," Chi Wuyue said. "At the beginning of the operation, try to keep it as secret as possible. If something unexpected happens, it might not be so fun anymore."
Fun?
Jie Xin and Jie Ling exchanged puzzled glances. Then, lifting their heads, they asked, "Master, why five hours later?"
Chi Wuyue did not answer. Her seductive eyes shifted softly, and she said in a languid, soft voice, "Jie Xin, Jie Ling, leave the matters here to Qing Ying and Chan Yi. You two come back with me to the Northern Domain."
"We'll leave now."
"Oh, and Hua Jin, you come too. Bring 'that thing.'"
————
Huijin Dragon God dead... Nanming Divine Realm destroyed... all the Abyss Gods and Abyss Kings, along with Nanming Divine Emperor Nan Wansheng and the hidden Taidi Nan Guizhong Zangming, all perished... the Tai Chu Dragon Clan appeared in the Southern Domain to assist the demons... Canglan, Xuanyuan, Ziwei three realms ordering the pursuit of Nanming's "remnants"...
The God Realm, already gradually shrouded in darkness, exploded into wave after wave of earth-shattering turmoil under the continuous stream of news.
In the Eastern God Domain, Southern God Domain, and Western God Domain, countless Xuan practitioners were so shocked they nearly shattered their hearts and souls.
Even the Northern Domain Xuan practitioners and Realm Kings stationed in the Eastern God Domain were so stunned their jaws dropped, unable to believe their ears for a long time.
They said the Demon Lord had only brought a few people to attend the South Ming Divine Realm's self-initiated invitation to the Young Lord's Enthronement Ceremony, and just... killed them all in passing!?
And that was the number one king realm of the Southern Domain!
And it had scared the other three king realms into retreating to this extent?
And what was up with the Tai Chu Dragon Clan!?
The three domains were dumbfounded, and the Northern Domain was even more shocked. Although they no longer dared to question the Demon Lord's heavenly might, and revered him to the point of willingly dying for him ten thousand times over, they were still stunned to the point of numbness. After a long while, countless Northern Domain Xuan practitioners fell to their knees with a crash, shouting praises and prostrating.
The three domains' fear and dread of the demon race doubled in a single day. The rapidly surging panic increased more than tenfold.
Countless eyes turned westward.
A dragon god was dead. This time, no matter what, the Dragon God Realm could not continue to stay silent.
But at the same time, under the shadow of this string of too-terrifying news, their absolute confidence in the Dragon God Realm also began to waver uncontrollably.
They were eager to see the Dragon God Realm's subsequent anger and counterattack, but also feared that if even the Dragon God Realm's fury did not strike like a thunderbolt... the future would truly be unimaginable.
