Hearing Wei Zihong's words, the woman's breathing stagnated. She didn't want to believe him, but she felt an inexplicable sense of fear in her heart. She wanted to be tough to the end, but she felt a little timid. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Please wait for a moment."
Wei Zihong nodded. "Okay, I'll wait here."
The woman bent her knees slightly, then turned around and transformed into a dragon-shaped cloud, returning to the Earth Star.
Wei Zihong waited outside for half a month.
On this day, the fog in front of him suddenly surged, and the woman turned around again. This time, she spoke politely for a long time. "Thank you for waiting."
Wei Zihong said, "It's alright. I believe you've already made your decision."
The woman raised her hand and gently pushed the letter back. She said in a low voice, "We, the Dragon Realm, cannot violate the ancestral rules, but we can promise that we will not help the Void Mother this time. Please forgive us."
Seeing this, Wei Zihong knew that the Dragon Realm still wanted to maintain a transcendent status, and they didn't even want to have any contact with him. Otherwise, they could have rejected her verbally and secretly left the letter. This way, he could understand the meaning of the letter, and there would be room for communication in the future. But now that they were so ruthless, there was nothing to say.
As the saying went, not helping the Void Mother was no different from how it was before.
However, his expression was the same as Just Now, without a trace of anger. He smiled and nodded. "If that's the case, then I won't force you. I'll take my leave now."
Seeing that he didn't pester her, the woman was a little surprised, but she also breathed a sigh of relief. She bent her knees slightly and said, "If that's the case, it's not convenient for you to stay here any longer. I'll take my leave now."
Wei Zihong shook his head in his heart. He took the initiative to come here today, saying that he was asking for help from the Dragon Realm, but in fact, he was also giving them a chance.
What he said just now was not a threat, but a fact. The almighty being in front of him was no match for his master, and he was struggling at death's door, hoping to delay the confrontation until the next era. But how could his master give him such a chance? He believed that it would not be long before this matter was completely resolved, and based on the attitude of the Dragon Realm, they would definitely be eliminated when the time came.
He cupped his fists and communicated with Ying Gui with his thoughts. Then, he left the place.
However, after leaving the Earth Star, he didn't leave the Dragon Realm. Instead, he found a random desolate star and stopped. He looked in a certain direction and said, "You can come out now."
Just Now, he could feel a hidden aura nearby. Anyone who could appear here, even if they were not from the Dragon Realm, had to be closely related to the Dragon Realm.
As soon as his voice fell, a bolt of lightning came and went, faintly revealing the shape of a dragon. Then, it suddenly gathered and a middle-aged man with a high hat and a wide belt appeared. His appearance was somewhat similar to that of the woman. He came up and smiled, cupped his hands, and said, "Shang Zhen, greetings."
It was not difficult for Wei Zihong to discern that the other party was a real dragon from the changes in his Qi dynamic. However, hearing such a form of address, he knew that this person was not simple. At the very least, he was not a person who was isolated from the outside world. He might have even secretly come into contact with cultivators. He raised his hand and bowed, saying, "May I ask who you are?"
The middle-aged man said, "I am Qi Zhaolan. The reigning Dragon God is my brother."
Wei Zihong said, "So it's Chief Qi."
Qi Zhaolan said in a self-deprecating manner, "I don't deserve such a title. My brother has long chased me out of the Dragon Realm. Now, I'm just a lonely wandering ghost." There seemed to be a lot of resentment in his words.
Wei Zihong immediately understood. No wonder this person would take the initiative to look for him. So there was a reason behind it. Maybe he wanted to use his power to do something. However, he was not afraid that the other party had a purpose. On the contrary, this was the best, because what the other party lacked was exactly what Wei Zihong could give.
Since the other party took the initiative to look for him, then according to the normal way of doing things, Wei Zihong should hold back a little and wait for the other party to reveal the purpose of his visit. However, he had the absolute advantage, so there was no need for him to use words. He said directly, "May I know the reason why the Dragon God chased you away?"
Qi Zhaolan said bitterly, "The Dragon Realm has existed since the beginning of the world. Our ancestors once made a promise with the Void Mother to not step beyond the Dragon Realm and not involve ourselves in worldly affairs. Although this allowed our race to survive until today, it also cut off the road to prosperity. It's fine for the younger generation, but for us, it's like a prison. I once suggested to my brother to find a way to break the restraints, but he didn't listen to me. Instead, he blamed me for bringing disaster to the clan and used this as an excuse to chase me out."
Wei Zihong knew in his heart that what this person did was definitely not as simple as he said. However, these were just small details. He said, "Then does Qi Zhaolan want to take back the position of Dragon God?"
This was indeed the reason why Qi Zhaolan came to look for Wei Zihong this time. He wanted to agree immediately, but for some reason, he hesitated when the matter came to this.
Seeing his hesitation, Wei Zihong smiled and didn't continue this topic. Instead, he asked, "Qi Zhaolan, who do you think will win this battle between the two worlds?"
Qi Zhaolan's eyes flickered. From what Wei Zihong had said Just Now, the latter's master was the Xuanyuan High Lord. He guessed that this person should be the legendary Void Demon God.
He could feel that at least half of the Myriad Que Star Stream was currently enveloped by this Demon God Weili. Since the two worlds collided, the other side had been constantly advancing, while the Myriad Que Star Stream was constantly retreating. It was obvious who was stronger and who was weaker.
It was also based on this judgment that he came to look for Wei Zihong. However, he couldn't say it like this, or else he would appear to be worthless. After thinking for a while, he said seriously, "I've seen all the things that your side has done since you entered the world. Your strength is not bad, but compared to the Myriad Que Star Stream, it's still lacking. “
Wei Zihong waved his hand and said, "Qi Zhaolan, you don't have to cover for me. With my current strength, it's true that our side is far inferior to the Myriad Que Star Stream, but the situation will eventually change, and it won't take long. “
Qi Zhaolan's heart skipped a beat. Although Wei Zihong didn't say anything specific, it wasn't hard for him to guess that something big was about to happen. This was also in line with his expectations. As long as his elder brother and the Void Mother were still alive, he would never be able to make a comeback. However, this was a great opportunity for him to achieve his goal with the help of the Demon God's followers. Even if he thought about the worst and ended up failing, he could just retreat to the other side. His days would be much better than before.
He slowly bowed and said solemnly, "If that's the case, if your side can help me regain the position of Dragon Monarch, I will also serve you."
Wei Zihong nodded and lifted him up with his arcane energy. He said, "I can promise that as long as you are willing to help me, I can also help you regain the position of Dragon Monarch."
Qi Zhaolan was overjoyed when he heard this. Even his spirit was lifted a lot.
Wei Zihong asked, "I have something to ask you. What's the situation in the Dragon Realm now?"
Qi Zhaolan pondered for a while and said, "Only the Dragon Monarch knows the true situation in the Dragon Realm. What I know is only the surface. There are about twenty elders who have lived for more than ten thousand years and hundreds of thousands of people …"
At this point, he suddenly revealed a look of resentment. "Back then, we made an agreement with the Void Mother, but it wasn't like we didn't pay any price. Normally, our people are favored by the heavens and earth. As long as we continuously train and never slack off, we will be able to enjoy eternal life once we succeed. However, after the agreement, this ability was taken away. Until now, no one in our race has lived for more than a million years."
Wei Zihong came to a realization. No wonder Qi Zhaolan was so enthusiastic. There was another reason behind it.
He said, "How many people can you mobilize?"
Qi Zhaolan said with a hint of pride, "I won't hide it from you. Although I was driven out, there are many people in the clan who support me. It seems that half of the elders are secretly in contact with me, and there is no lack of people who admire me."
Wei Zihong was a little surprised. He said, "If that's the case, isn't your brother quite unpopular?"
Qi Zhaolan said disdainfully, "If he didn't have the ancestral blood letter, which is equivalent to holding the lifeline of the people, other than some of the direct descendants, who would listen to him?"
Wei Zihong secretly nodded. Although Qi Zhaolan did not explain in detail, the blood letter must be the key. He asked again, "What kind of person is your brother?"
Qi Zhaolan's face showed disdain. He said, "It's funny. Every day, my brother takes notes. Every item is about how to prosper the clan and how to break through the Great Dao. But there is never a single thing that is done. Every time he comes out of meditation, he laments that the past is wasted and that he must work hard from now on. But every time the people under him think that he is going to pull himself together, there is no more. To say that he is good at planning but not decisive, and that he has great ambition but little talent is overestimating him. When I was chased out, it was my late uncle who gave the order on his behalf. Otherwise, he might not have been able to make the decision!"
Wei Zihong was amused. Qi Zhaolan was not at all polite when it came to criticizing his brother. But if this Dragon God was really like this, it would be more convenient for him. He said, "Brother Qi, have you ever thought that your brother chased you out not to punish you, but to leave a way out for the Dragon Realm?"
Qi Zhaolan was startled. He thought for a while and then laughed coldly. "That might be possible. But even if it is true, it is not something that my useless brother could have thought of. It is most likely my father's plan."
At this point, he no longer cared about the real reason why he was chased out. He only knew that after he was chased out, they were two different people.
At this point, he raised his head and said, "Just Now, Qi Jiang has gone back to report that Shang Zhen has been waiting for half a month. If you want to discuss something like this, how long would it take? My brother did this on purpose. If Shang Zhen was unlucky enough to be discovered by the Void Mother, then it would have nothing to do with him. But when he saw that Shang Zhen was safe and sound, he knew that the Dragon Realm was not to be trifled with, so he had no choice but to reject. To put it bluntly, he does not want to offend the Void Mother, but he is also afraid that the Dragon Realm will cause trouble for him."
Wei Zihong pondered for a while before saying, "This is a serious matter, and it requires a comprehensive plan. Why don't you follow me back and discuss this matter with the others? We can also sign a contract at the same time."
Qi Zhaolan thought about the possibility of meeting the legendary Void Demon God. He hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and agreed. "Alright, I will go with Shang Zhen!"
Wei Zihong smiled. "This trip will not take up too much of your time." He looked at the Dragon Realm that was shrouded in fog. "When you return, it will be a different scene."
