Boom …
A wondrous energy immediately exploded. It was not magic, but pure Strength of the Soul.
The Heavenly Stem Saints only felt their pores completely open at that moment. The Earth Dragon Ancestor's colossal body suddenly reared up and he opened his mouth at the sky as if he was roaring furiously, but he did not make any sound at all. His body constantly trembled and swayed, and the mountain beneath everyone's feet constantly shook as a result. They needed to circulate their magic to forcefully stand.
Ji Dong stared at the Earth Dragon Ancestor silently. After hearing Ah Jin's words, the Earth Dragon Ancestor's soul seemed to explode. Out of everyone present, his and the dragon emperor's souls were the closest to the Earth Dragon Ancestor's level, so they could sense that the Earth Dragon Ancestor was currently experiencing a strange ripple of emotions. It was a mixture of extreme excitement and extreme sorrow. Ji Dong was unable to determine the excitement, but he could sense the sorrow. It was just like how he had felt when his hair turned white after Flaming Bar's death. It was obvious just how intense the Earth Dragon Ancestor's soul rippled right now.
Ah Jin looked at the Earth Dragon Ancestor and clenched her fists tightly. Her emotions were also extremely intense. Fortunately, Chen Sixuan was by her side, using her Chaotic Force and Strength of the Soul to help her stabilize her emotions.
"Mother left this letter with the grandmaster so that he could pass it on to me after I became a sovereign. However, the grandmaster did not live that long. Only when he was about to pass away did he tell me everything that mother had experienced back then, as well as give me this letter. Back then, my cultivation was nowhere near the level of a sovereign, but after learning what mother and you had gone through, how could I hold back? As a result, I went to the East Sea, and I finally found the whereabouts of the Class 10 Demonic Blade Fish. However, it was just too powerful. I lost my final memories in a wave of cold. "
The truth had come to light. The place where Ah Jin had searched for the Demonic Blade Fish was also where the first generation of Heavenly Stem Saints had created the Evil Island. Coincidentally, Ji Dong had saved Ah Jin from the ice and revived her at Flaming Bar. That was how Ah Jin and Ji Dong had ended up together.
It could be said that Ah Jin was not a pure human. She was half-dragon, half-human, and her attributes had been inherited from her mother.
Let alone the Heavenly Stem Saints, even the dragon emperor was stunned. As the dragon emperor, he should have hated the Earth Dragon Ancestor. It was precisely because of the love between the Earth Dragon Ancestor and Ya Tianji that the Dragon Clan had lost their dominant position on the path of light. However, how could he hate? The Earth Dragon Ancestor was his true ancestor. It could be said that without the Earth Dragon Ancestor, there would be no Earth Dragon Ancestor, and there would be no Dragon Clan.
The trembling of the Earth Dragon Ancestor's body gradually stopped. Its huge body seemed to have returned to normal. When it lowered its head again, everyone was shocked to see that its originally yellow eyes had turned into a terrifying blood red color. Its voice became hoarse as it said, "I need some quiet time to think. My child, are you willing to stay and accompany me?"
Ah Jin nodded gently. She looked at the huge father in front of her with teary eyes and said, "I will definitely find the Class 10 Demonic Blade Fish again and help you break the seal."
The Earth Dragon Ancestor Griffin shook his head silently, "There's no need for that. All of this no longer holds any meaning to me. The moment your mother passed away, it no longer held any meaning. I just want to look at you more. When I look at you, it's like I'm seeing your mother, the Dragon Emperor."
"Great ancestor, I am here," the Dragon Emperor said respectfully.
The Earth Dragon Ancestor said quietly, "You already know about me. I hope you can keep this a secret. I don't want the past to be spread among the Dragon Clan."
"Yes, great ancestor. As you wish." The Dragon Emperor nodded solemnly at the Earth Dragon Ancestor.
The Ancestor of the Earth Dragon said, "These young humans can be said to be the descendants of Ya Tianji, and one of them is even my daughter. I hope that you can allow them to choose partners from the Dragon Clan. The Sacred War between the Darkness Five Elements Mainland and our Mainland is about to begin. No matter who the ruler of the Mainland is, this is our home after all. Helping them is the same as helping ourselves. As long as a dragon is chosen by them, I will grant them a Chaos Seed."
The Dragon Emperor nodded silently and said, "The Heavenly Stem Saints have been working with our Dragon Clan for thousands of years, but we didn't know that they were Ya Tianji's descendants. Of course, this cooperation will continue. Is your daughter …"
The Earth Dragon Ancestor shook his head. His eyes were filled with pride. "My daughter has my blood flowing in her. Why would she need a magical beast as a partner? It's enough as long as I help her awaken her bloodline. Bring the young ones with you. I want to spend some time alone with my daughter. "
"Yes, great ancestor." The Dragon Emperor replied respectfully. With a shake of his body, he returned to his original form and spread his wings. After Hyōhime and the others nodded, a gentle force was released from his body. It swept up Ji Dong and the others and brought them onto his back. Ji Dong looked at Ah Jin worriedly. Ah Jin also looked at him subconsciously. Even though she had recovered some of her past memories, the memories after her resurrection were actually even more profound. In her past memories, apart from matters regarding her parents, there was only boring cultivation. The memories after her resurrection were even more exciting to her.
Ah Jin looked at Ji Dong and Chen Sixuan with a complicated look in his eyes. He nodded at them as if to reassure them. The Dragon Emperor took a deep look at the Earth Dragon Ancestor, and a hint of sorrow appeared in his eyes. Only then did he soar into the sky. He did not do anything, but his huge body had already flown into the sky and flew towards the depths of the Three Unity Mountain Range.
"Senior Dragon Emperor, may I ask you a question?" asked Ji Dong.
The Dragon Emperor said indifferently, "Ask away." His voice was very cold. It was obvious that he was not friendly towards the Heavenly Stem Saints. Only Ji Dong himself understood why he was like this. Hence, he did not care about the Dragon Emperor's attitude.
"Senior Dragon Emperor, I would like to know how senior Griffin was sealed."
The Dragon Sovereign said indifferently, "Back then, the great ancestor was collectively sealed by the other five progenitor dragons, causing his body to fuse with the Three Unity Mountain Range, causing him to lose the progenitor dragon's ability to transform and fly. When you met him, did you ever see him move his legs? His hind limbs and legs had already merged with the mountain. Nothing that happened in the Three Harmony Mountain Range could be hidden from him. Actually, there's one thing that the great ancestor said wrong. The other five Ancestor Dragons had feelings for him. Otherwise, they could have used some special methods to kill Griffin without him being able to resist. However, that's all in the past now. I don't want to say anything more. Young man, your arrival has caused a huge change in the Dragon Clan. Do you know what we're going to lose? "
Ji Dong said, "I know. Wasn't senior Griffin leaving behind some funeral arrangements? His lover is dead, and the questions that he had guessed for many years have finally been answered. He no longer had anything to live for. He only wanted to spend some time with his daughter, so he sacrificed himself to follow senior Ya Tianji. Am I right? "
The other Heavenly Stem Saints were shocked after hearing Ji Dong's words. Chen Sixuan could not help but ask, "Teacher Ji Dong, that can't be true, right? If that's the case, why didn't you remind Ah Jin just now? She's already lost her mother. She won't be able to bear losing her father as well."
The Dragon Emperor was also puzzled. He asked, "How did you guess that?"
Ji Dong said, "I'm afraid that no one understands senior Griffin's feelings better than me. That's because I have the same experience as him. My lover has also left me. To me, what I desire the most now is to fulfill her wish and follow her. Therefore, of course I understand senior Griffin's feelings. I can also feel the deathly stillness in his soul. I believe senior Dragon Emperor has also noticed this, which is why you said those words just now. As for why I didn't tell Ah Jin, the reason is very simple. It's because I have a way to make senior Griffin not die. Moreover, I've already told Ah Jin through spiritual communication. If it's not to make senior Dragon Emperor not die, why would I ask you how to remove the old man's seal?"
The expression in the Dragon Emperor's eyes changed greatly after hearing Ji Dong's words. Even with his status, he still asked anxiously, "Is what you said true? Do you really have a way to make ancestor Griffin not die? If you can do it, the dragon clan will definitely thank you generously."
To the dragon clan, the ancestor of the Earth Dragon, Griffin, was not only their ancestor, but also the stabilizing force of the entire Three Unity Mountain Range. With the existence of the number one powerhouse of the dragon clan, the Three Unity Mountain Range could be said to be unshakable. Unless the five sacred beasts on the Demonic Island were all present, who else could contend against the ancestor of the Earth Dragon? Furthermore, the existence of the ancestor of the Earth Dragon, Griffin, was even more important to the dragon clan. Especially after the Dragon Emperor found out about its identity as the ancestor of the dragon, how could he be willing to let the ancestor of the Earth Dragon die just like that? However, he could not go against the will of the ancestor of the Earth Dragon, nor could he stop it. Now that he heard Ji Dong say that he had a way to make the ancestor of the Earth Dragon live, it was as if he had grabbed hold of a life-saving straw.
Ji Dong nodded seriously and said, "Senior Griffin is the same as me. I have nothing to live for. Apart from the last wish of my dead wife, I have no other attachments. However, Senior Griffin still has the fruit of his love with Senior Ya Tianji. Actually, I only taught Ah Jin one thing. It's very simple. I asked her to tell Senior Griffin …"
…
The ancestor of the Earth Dragon, Griffin, looked at Ah Jin in front of him kindly and said, "Child, you really miss your mother. However, your mother is even more beautiful than you are. Perhaps it's because of my inheritance that your appearance is slightly inferior to hers. I'm really too happy today. To be able to see you and hear you tell me that your mother loves me is my greatest happiness. There's nothing more satisfying than this. Child, come, let me awaken the part of the dragon bloodline that belongs to you. You possess the bloodline of the ancestor of the dragon that I had before I was sealed. Once you awaken it, you will possess the power that belongs to me."
Ah Jin shook her head silently when she heard the words of the ancestor of the Earth Dragon. "There's no need, father." Even though this was the first time she had seen her father, she did not feel any hatred towards him. Although the union between the ancestor of the Earth Dragon, Griffin, was a mistake, they were not in the wrong. Hence, she naturally called him father.
An intense emotion flashed through Griffin's red eyes. Her body could not help but tremble when she heard him call her father.
"Why? Don't you want to obtain great power? "
Ah Jin said calmly, "What's the use of obtaining great power? It's not like I can take my power with me after I die."
"What did you say?" Griffin was shocked. "You're saying that you're going to die? No, that can't be. Your body is very healthy. How can you die? "
Ah Jin looked at Griffin, but Ji Dong's face appeared in her mind. She said what Ji Dong wanted her to say. "I no longer have a mother. If I don't have a father as well, what's the point of living? Since you're going to follow me, then I'll let you follow me. Our family will be reunited in another world. "
That's right. This was what Ji Dong had taught Ah Jin. He had a very accurate grasp of the ancestor of the Earth Dragon, Griffin. After experiencing great joy and great sorrow, this ancestor of the Dragon Clan, who had once been the leader of the Ancestral Dragons, had indeed lost all desire for life. However, after seeing his daughter, he loved her even more from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to help his daughter become stronger as much as possible so that he could follow his lover, Ya Tianji, in peace. Ji Dong's guess was not wrong at all. He had asked Ah Jin to say these words to turn Griffin's obsession with love into familial love. He still had a daughter, and for the sake of his daughter, he could only choose to live.
"Silly child, you …" Griffin stared blankly at Ah Jin and could not speak for a long time. He saw determination in Ah Jin's eyes. He knew that if he really died, then his daughter would definitely follow him. How could he be willing to see this?
Ah Jin's voice choked again. From Griffin's eyes, she knew that Ji Dong's guess was correct. If she let nature take its course and accepted the awakening of her Dragon Clan bloodline for her, then she would probably really lose her father.
"Father, I already have no mother. Do you really want me to have no father as well?"
