"Solution? We have been in a reproductive decline for hundreds of thousands of years. Then, we sealed ourselves and hid here. However, hundreds of thousands of years have passed. Who has found a solution? Now, we have not had a baby Dragon for hundreds of years. Who has thought of a solution? " The elder from before said loudly. "Now that the sage has finally found a way out, you people are blocking the way with a single Ancestral Behest. Aren't you forcing our people into a dead end?"
"You can't say that. The Ancestral Behest is the Ancestral Behest!" The elder also refused to budge.
"The clan is going to be destroyed. What's the point of having the Ancestral Behest?" The elder also argued.
"Alright, both of you, please calm down. Let's first ask the sage what the solution is." At this time, the Dragon Queen came out to smooth things over.
"Alright. Sage, what is the solution you are talking about?" The elder asked.
"Hehe …" Jiang Fei had been watching the drama for a long time. Now, someone finally asked the main point.
"Sage, don't just laugh. What is the solution?" The elder who supported Jiang Fei was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
"Alright, alright. This solution is difficult to say, but it is easy to do." Jiang Fei paused, then continued, "When I was researching with my teacher, we found that the reason why it is difficult for the Dragon race to reproduce is because everyone's blood is too close. In human society, close relatives are not allowed to marry. I believe it is the same for us."
"But Sage, there are only so many of us in the Dragon race. How can we not be related?" An elder said.
"That's right. That's why I'm going to get to the point!" Jiang Fei smiled, then said, "I have discussed with my teacher. To solve the problem in front of us, we can only recognize the status of those mixed-blood Dragon race and allow the Dragon race to marry them!"
"What!?"
"Marry those lowly people?"
"No! Sage! Absolutely not! "
…
As soon as Jiang Fei finished speaking, the elders suddenly burst into an uproar. Other than the Ancestral Behest, these people were used to being superior. Of course, they could not accept being reduced to the lowly mixed-blood Dragon race.
"Sage, isn't this a little too big a step?" The Dragon Queen said. Although her tone was rather tactful, it was clear that she did not really accept this proposal.
"I know it's difficult for you all to accept this idea so quickly, but the problem is that we either have to go extinct, or we have to abandon the concept of bloodline and put down our arrogance," Jiang Fei said to the Elder Dragons.
"But, Lord Sage, the ancestral teachings said …" The Great Elder started talking about the ancestral teachings. As Jiang Fei was the Lord Sage, the other elders could not stop him once he had decided on something. The only thing that could stop Jiang Fei now was the ancestral teachings.
"I will take responsibility for the Ancestral Behest!" At this moment, Yue Ting walked into the main hall.
"Teacher …" Everyone, including Jiang Fei, stood up and bowed when they saw Yue Ting.
"I will take responsibility for the Ancestral Behest." Yue Ting repeated himself once more. At the same time, the powerful aura from his body began to ripple unceasingly. The terrifying aura forced the elders of the Dragon Clan to keep quiet out of fear.
"Yes, Teacher!" At this time, including the Great Elder and the Dragon Queen, no one dared to object.
Yue Ting had chosen to stand on Jiang Fei's side. This surprised all the elders. They thought that an old man like Yue Ting, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, would respect the Ancestral Behest more. They did not expect him to be the first to choose to support Jiang Fei.
However, if these elders knew that Yue Ting was Wei Hao from the ancient times, if they knew that even though Yue Ting had abdicated his position as the Great Sage, he had never stopped searching for a way out of the Dragon Clan's predicament, they would definitely be able to understand Yue Ting's current feelings.
Hundreds of thousands of years of hard work without any results. How much willpower did it take to persevere? Now that Yue Ting had found a solution, how could he give up just because of the Ancestral Behest?
Therefore, no matter what the elders said now, Yue Ting had already made up his mind. He had to make sacrifices for the sake of the Dragon Clan. Even if the history books of the Dragon Clan would record him as an evil person who had forgotten the ancestral teachings, he would not allow the Dragon Clan to complete this reform.
"Everyone, do you have any other opinions?" Of course, Jiang Fei was trying his best to promote this decision. Once the marriage between the Dragon Clan and the mixed-blood Dragon People was popularized, then Yue Ting would be able to follow him out of the mountain.
"This …" The Great Elder and the Dragon Queen looked at each other. Although they could not quite put down their statuses, since Yue Ting had spoken up, they really could not say anything to stop him.
"Since everyone has no objections, then this matter is settled!" Jiang Fei struck while the iron was hot and immediately made a decision.
"The Lord Sage is wise!" Under pressure from Yue Ting, these Dragon Elders could only nod their heads.
"Teacher, what do you think?" Jiang Fei looked at Yue Ting.
"Well, it's settled!" Yue Ting nodded his head, confirming this decision.
"Good! Great Elder, pass down the order. Inform all the mixed-blood Dragon People in the entire Five Skies. As long as they have the blood of the Dragon Clan, from now on, the Dragon Clan will recognize their identity and allow them to marry the Dragon Clan! "Jiang Fei said with a wave of his hand.
"Yes! Lord Sage! " The Great Elder nodded his head helplessly. Now that things had come to this, what else could he say? If this was only Jiang Fei's idea, then as the Great Elder, he could still lead the other Elders to argue with Jiang Fei. However, since Yue Ting had spoken up, he really did not have any temper left. Now, even if he took the lead, the other Elders were unlikely to continue supporting him.
Very quickly, the announcement of the Dragon Clan spread throughout the entire Five Skies. Those ancient mutants who had the blood of the Dragon Clan were practically going crazy with joy. They had waited for this day for more than ten generations, waited for hundreds of thousands of years, and now, the day had finally come!
On the day the order was issued, a large number of mixed-blood Dragon People pilgrims went to the Dragon Clan's territory to pay their respects to the Lord Sage. And because of this order, the population of the Dragon Clan had more than doubled.
"Teacher, what do you think of the solution to this matter?" After Jiang Fei sent the Elders away, he asked Yue Ting.
"Mm! I estimate that it won't be long before we can see the results! "Yue Ting nodded his head in satisfaction.
"Then this disciple's request of you …" Jiang Fei's main purpose was still this. As for helping the Dragon Clan solve the problem of inbred marriage, it was just a matter of convenience.
"Mm! Seeing that you have done your best to help the Dragon Clan, I will help you this time! "Yue Ting finally agreed to Jiang Fei's request.
