"Imprison? Not really. How wise was the Primordial Azure Dragon Ancestor? He was willing to be the mount of the human race's almighty, so naturally, he would exchange for enormous benefits for the dragon race. You must know that when the heavens open a door for you, they will also close a window for you. Our dragon race is the darling of the heavens and earth, we were born as a high level race, but because of this, we were also envied by the heavens, causing our dragon race to have difficulty reproducing. Do you know how many of our dragon race were left after the final battle between the human and demon races? "
Pipi Lu let out a long sigh. Without waiting for Lu Xixi's reply, he continued: "Including the Primordial Azure Dragon Ancestor, our entire dragon race only has less than a hundred dragons."
"Ah, how can it be so few?"
Lu Xixi widened her eyes in shock. Although the number of dragons in the Setting Sun Continent was not many, and the three great dragon cities added together did not exceed a million, they were still an extremely powerful race. Other races did not dare to easily provoke them, and a dragon race with less than a hundred was practically equivalent to extinction.
"Yeah, that's why the Primordial Azure Dragon Ancestor was willing to endure humiliation and become the mount of the human race's almighty in exchange for the continuation of our race. Our dragon race was responsible for guarding this prison that was exiled in the space-time turbulence, far away from the Heavenly Dao's surveillance. This is a plane that the Heavenly Dao's power cannot touch. Although our dragon race's racial advantage cannot be fully displayed here, our reproduction ability has greatly increased. Compared to the outside world that only gives birth to a dragon race descendant every several tens of thousands of years, it is absolutely a world of difference. After millions of years of recuperation, our dragon race has already developed from less than a hundred dragons to nearly a million. This was the plan of our dragon race's ancestor."
Pipi Lu's words were shocking as he spoke of the dragon race's ultimate secret.
"Ah! Then what do we do now? If we leave the Setting Sun Continent, won't we have to face the problem of reproduction in the future? "
Lu Xixi was stunned. She did not expect that in the outside world, the dragon race's survival and reproduction would be so difficult.
One must know that although the current dragon race's reproduction ability was not high, it was still easy to give birth to a dragon race descendant every hundred years. In the outside world, it took several tens of thousands of years to give birth to a dragon race descendant. This was simply unimaginable.
"Yeah, that's why when the Primordial Azure Dragon Ancestor sent the last remaining members of the Dragon Clan into the Setting Sun Continent, he said that according to the agreement he made with the almighty experts of the human race, when a human race appears in the Setting Sun Continent one day, it would mean that our Dragon Clan would have a new master, and the life and death of the Dragon Clan would also be decided by humans."
Pipi Lu's face was full of bitterness. "The Dragon Clan is such a proud clan, how could they leave their fate in the hands of a human? Some supported following the ancestral teachings and worshiped humans as their masters, while others firmly disagreed and wanted to control their own fate. Therefore, the Dragon Clan had been arguing for tens of thousands of years over this matter. It wasn't until a hundred years ago that the previous generation's Dragon Emperor passed away due to old age that the Dragon Clan finally began to have internal strife. Our Golden Dragon Clan respects His Majesty the Golden Dragon Emperor, the Frost Dragons respect the Ice Dragon Emperor, and the Dark Demonic Dragons respect the Demon Dragon Emperor."
"What do they think? Are they willing to respect humans?"
Lu Xixi asked cautiously. This matter concerned the fate of the entire clan, so no one dared to take it lightly.
"His Majesty the Golden Dragon Emperor's attitude was ambiguous, and he never made a clear statement. The Frost Dragons made it clear that they must abide by the ancestral teachings. The Dark Demonic Dragons are lawless creatures, so how could they be willing to put their fate in the hands of humans? Therefore, the Demon Dragon Emperor deliberately leaked the news, causing the other clans who have always hated humans to unite and force the Ice Dragon Emperor and the Golden Dragon Emperor to sign an agreement. As long as they find traces of humans, they must kill them immediately. The Ice Dragon Emperor had no choice but to agree under the pressure, and His Majesty the Golden Dragon Emperor also agreed under the circumstances."
Pipi Lu rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on. "Now that this human has appeared in my territory, I will become the target of public criticism. Moreover, I don't know what His Majesty the Golden Dragon Emperor is thinking. This matter is difficult!"
"Why don't we hand Ding Ning over to the Golden Dragon Emperor?"
Lu Xixi couldn't bear to do this, but this matter concerned the safety of her entire clan. She couldn't use her own preferences to influence Pipi Lu's judgment, so she could only make a suggestion that seemed sensible.
"No, this Ding Ning is a hot potato now. Before I figure out what His Majesty the Golden Dragon Emperor is thinking, if I hand him over to the Golden Dragon City with great fanfare, I will be forcing His Majesty to make a choice. If we don't handle it well, it will bring disaster to our Golden Dragon Clan."
Pipi Lu shook his head and rejected Lu Xixi's suggestion. This woman didn't understand politics at all. This matter concerned the fate of the entire Dragon Clan and even the entire Setting Sun Continent. How could he be so careless?
As the Liege Lord of Western Garrison, Pipi Lu knew very well that the Golden Dragon Emperor's attitude was ambiguous and unwilling to make a statement was because he had his own concerns.
After all, the Primordial Azure Dragon Patriarch and the mighty human had agreed to serve the human as their master. If the Dragon Clan dared to violate the ancestral teachings and kill the human, who knew what terrible consequences it would bring?
To be able to lead the human clan to defeat the Demon Clan, who was at the peak of their power, and to banish the clans that supported the Demon Clan to the Setting Sun Continent that even the Heavenly Dao couldn't care about, it was clear that the mighty human had extraordinary means. How could he not have a backup plan?
Therefore, according to Pipi Lu's conjecture, His Majesty the Golden Dragon Emperor probably didn't want to be the one to take the lead. It was very likely that he was inclined to violate the agreement, but he was unwilling to bear the consequences. Therefore, his attitude was ambiguous. He wanted the Dark Demonic Dragon to take the lead. No matter what consequences there were, the Dark Demonic Dragon would bear the consequences.
However, would things really be that simple? That mighty human could even subdue the Primordial Azure Dragon and make it his mount. How could he not see through the Golden Dragon Emperor's intentions? When the time came, who could guarantee that the Golden Dragon Clan's inaction wouldn't arouse the wrath of that mighty human?
The more Pipi Lu thought about it, the more complicated it became. The more he thought about it, the more troubled he became. He secretly blamed Ding Ning, that damned bastard. He could have gone to anyone else's territory, but he just had to come to his own territory. He even openly entered the Liege Lord's residence and became the chief imperial chef of the Liege Lord's residence. What would happen if His Majesty the Dragon Emperor found out about this?
He was really a hot potato. They couldn't kill him, didn't dare to release him, and couldn't hide him either. Sooner or later, he would cause a disaster.
When Lu Xixi saw Pipi Lu frowning, he couldn't help but worry as well. For a moment, the husband and wife were speechless. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't think of a foolproof plan.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll go report the situation to His Majesty the Dragon Emperor and ask him to make a decision!"
After much consideration, Pipi Lu could only tell the truth to His Majesty the Dragon Emperor. Even at the risk of being punished, he had to throw this hot potato out. He believed that His Majesty the Dragon Emperor wouldn't take his life for this unexpected disaster.
"Daddy, I'm going to have a lot of Drunken Linglong very soon!"
At this moment, Pikachu ran in and showed off with a face full of joy.
"Oh, my Pikachu, where did you get so many Drunken Linglong!"
Pipi Lu withdrew the worried expression on his face and asked absent-mindedly as he hugged his precious daughter with a doting expression.
He was only subconsciously teasing Pikachu. Drunken Linglong was an extremely precious strategic resource of the Setting Sun Continent. Even if one had the money, it wasn't something that ordinary people could buy.
As for why Drunken Linglong had become a strategic resource, it was all thanks to the dark races of the Setting Sun Continent.
The Golden Dragons possessed tyrannical bodies and were invincible in melee combat. The Frost Dragons had weak bodies but were peerless in terms of magic power. The Dark Demonic Dragons could both attack from afar and close range. They cultivated both magic and martial arts and were extremely difficult to deal with.
When the three great royal dragon clans joined forces, they could suppress all the races on the continent. However, the Dark Demonic Dragon's betrayal caused the strength of the Golden Dragons and Frost Dragons to plummet. This allowed some of the suppressed dark races to gradually rise up.
The dark races were afraid of sunlight and were adept at concealment, concealment, tracking, and assassination. They weren't too much of a threat to creatures with powerful physical bodies like the Golden Dragons, but they were a huge problem to the Frost Dragon race, whose physical bodies were frail and who relied entirely on magic to fight. The Frost Dragon would die without a doubt if they were allowed to get close.
The mirror used to make Drunken Linglong could be modified into a magic treasure that could see through the dark races' tracks after special refinement. It would make it impossible for them to hide, and the light it refracted could even cause them some damage.
However, the manufacturing method of the mirror was in the hands of the Crystal Race. Although the Crystal Race wasn't a dark race, as a race exiled by the human race, they shared the same interests as the dark races. They had already formed an alliance, so it was impossible for them to leak the manufacturing method. Even if they occasionally sold it, they would only use small pieces of the mirror to make a kaleidoscope for profit. It was impossible for them to sell it on a large scale.
This gave the Frost Dragons a headache. They couldn't buy it on a large scale even if they wanted to. Even with the help of the Golden Dragons, it was only a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood.
It just so happened that more than half of the Setting Sun Continent was made up of dark races. Thus, this mirror became an extremely precious strategic resource.
"Big Brother Ding Ning knows how to make Drunken Linglong. He sent Steward Long Ma 'er to collect the materials. He also said he would make a large mirror for me to put in my bedroom so that I can see a beautiful Pikachu every day!"
Pikachu said excitedly. His big eyes were full of longing.
"He … he knows how to make Drunken Linglong?"
Pipi Lu suddenly stood up and asked incredulously. There was a raging flame burning in his eyes. If Ding Ning really knew how to make mirrors and could mass-produce them, then even without the Dark Demonic Dragon, the Golden Dragon Race and the Frost Dragons would be invincible if they worked together.
One had to know that although the Golden Dragon Emperor's attitude was ambiguous and wavering, and it was very likely that he would be more inclined to go against the ancestral teachings, that was only speculation. Moreover, Pipi Lu knew him very well. He knew that the Golden Dragon Emperor had a heart of reverence and only wanted to remain neutral. He didn't really want to experience the bitter revenge of the human race's almighty beings.
The Golden Dragon Emperor had always been on good terms with the Ice Dragon King, but his relationship with the Demon Dragon Emperor had never been harmonious. In addition, the Demon Dragon Emperor had colluded with the other races to set him up, forcing him to declare that he wanted to kill the human race. Given his personality, he naturally hated the Demon Dragon Emperor to the bone.
Therefore, his attitude was very likely to change now. This old dragon had always been a black-bellied, ruthless, and vengeful person.
More importantly, the Golden Dragon Emperor was very superstitious. If he knew that Ding Ning knew how to make mirrors, he would definitely think that Ding Ning was sent by the heavens to help him make a choice. Then, there was a high possibility that he would side with the Frost Dragons and revere Ding Ning like a god.
"Of course, Big Brother Ding Ning is omnipotent. If he says he can do it, he can definitely do it. If Daddy doesn't believe me, just wait for Steward Long Ma 'er to gather all the materials and see."
Her father actually doubted her most admired Big Brother Ding Ning. This made the little fangirl Pikachu pout her little mouth in displeasure.
"If that's the case, then let's wait for two days and see!"
Pipi Lu was very conflicted at the moment. In reality, although he couldn't stand the Dark Demonic Dragon's arrogance, he also didn't want to serve a human as his master.
However, the ancestral teachings were there, and Ding Ning had revealed the key to victory. Just like the Golden Dragon Emperor, he didn't want to bear the punishment brought by that terrifying human powerhouse.
