Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming - Chapter 1245: 1238: The Two Ancestors' Schemes, Rare Opportunity
Chapter 1245: Chapter 1238: The Two Ancestors’ Schemes, Rare Opportunity
“Heh, that old fellow Qilin Ancestor dares to enter the tribulation voluntarily, meddling in my affairs!”
In the splendid and beautiful Crystal Palace, Ancestor Dragon wasn’t shocked by the sudden news. Even though the Qilin Great World was formidable, Qilin Ancestor had been an old rival, having battled with him for countless ages, yet this was still not enough to make him reveal any unusual expressions.
In the presence of the first Divine Dragon to open the sky and split the earth in this Primordial Ancestor Realm, it seemed nothing could shake his Daoist Heart.
Although the powerful strength of Ancestor Dragon was a reason, it was more because he believed that the current strength of the Dragon Clan was enough to defeat the Qilin Great World head-on.
While the Phoenix and Qilin clans were as well-known as the Dragon Clan, in terms of Bloodline Divine Power and innate talent, the three Divine Beast races were quite matched, and even the cultivation combat power attained in growth was quite similar.
On the surface, the strength of the three clans seemed equivalent, but the Dragon Clan had a strength surpassing that of the Phoenix and Qilin: their procreation ability!!
The debauchery of dragons is not a baseless myth, but a reality.
Throughout the Dragon Clan, it’s rare for a male True Dragon to spend his life with only one partner; almost every one of them has several wives or concubines. Some of the powerful, region-dominating Dragon Kings had harems with so many beauties that having three thousand was an understatement, with their partners coming from various races, thus birthing countless descendants with Dragon Clan bloodline.
Of course, the Dragon Clan wasn’t the only one with mixed blood offspring; both Phoenix and Qilin clans had them, and among all innately powerful Divine Beast races, mixed blood offspring were common.
Because relying solely on their own procreation was exceedingly difficult, many Divine Beast races could produce only one or two offspring after hundreds of thousands of years of effort, so they often resorted to mating with other races of lower bloodlines, hoping these mixed blood offspring might one day purify their lineage, evolving towards Divine Beasts to increase their population!
The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, as top-tier Divine Beast races, stood out from numerous such clans. They dominated the Primordial world thanks to occupying many benefits, possessing unique Power of Qi Luck. Even the Primordial Heavenly Dao favored them by bypassing the rule that greater strength meant harder procreation, allowing them to have a sufficient number of descendants to occupy the Primordial world.
Yet even so, their procreation ability was only considerably higher than other Divine Beast races, far from being on par with the Human Clan, and lagging behind many non-Divine Beast spiritual beasts.
It was only because they lived long and there were few who could challenge them when heaven and earth first opened that they amassed such a large population over countless ages.
Primordial Phoenix and Qilin Ancestor were initially very satisfied with this.
But Ancestor Dragon was different!
Compared to Primordial Phoenix and Primordial Qilin, Ancestor Dragon had a far-reaching vision.
While the other two were lost in their race’s strength, Ancestor Dragon was diverging from the path. He used the Heavenly Dao’s assistance to avoid the procreation difficulties by developing a technique using the power of the Heavenly Dao to make dragon procreation easier.
Once taught, it increased the dragon descendants’ procreation ability by thirty percent. Over the ages, this allowed the population to gradually surpass that of the Phoenix and Qilin clans, ultimately breaking the balance of power among the three and establishing the Dragon Clan as the most powerful in ancient times, leading to the late-stage alliances of the Phoenix and Qilin clans against the dragons.
Later, when Primordial Phoenix and Qilin Ancestor realized why the Dragon Clan had become stronger, it was too late. By the time they noticed something was wrong, the dragons had become so powerful as to threaten their existence. They had no choice but to mobilize their armies against them. With continuous wars, there was naturally no time to calmly explore such techniques.
After the first Dragon Phoenix tribulation, losing their status as protagonists of heaven and earth, they couldn’t hope to gain Heavenly Dao’s favor again and couldn’t develop methods similar to what the Dragon Clan had for procreating offspring.
So even though the three races all migrated from the Primordial, establishing Great Worlds in the starry sky, with each developing well,
the Dragon Clan developed fastest among the three due to its superior procreation ability!
Over the years, even excluding the various mixed blood offspring and vassal races, the sheer number of pure-blood Dragons was already terrifyingly enormous.
Based on this, Ancestor Dragon didn’t show any unease when hearing about Qilin Ancestor joining the Demon, Demon God, and Divine Beasts Three Realms alliance, instead feeling a bit eager inside.
Qilin Ancestor wanted to use the power of the Demon, Demon God to deal with the Dragon Clan, thereby absorbing Dragon Clan’s fortune to bolster his chance of proving the Dao and reaching Primordial Chaos, so why wouldn’t Ancestor Dragon have similar thoughts?
After all, it wasn’t only Qilin Ancestor who understood the special nature of the three-clan fortune. Ancestor Dragon and Primordial Phoenix were also well aware; otherwise, the initial killing tribulation wouldn’t have erupted.
After the first Dragon Phoenix tribulation, knowing they couldn’t seize the fortune from the other two clans, they quieted down, with no conflicts for years.
Especially the Dragon and Phoenix clans, who simultaneously chose to befriend the Human Clan. With the Humans as a buffer, their relations eased significantly.
Moreover, there wasn’t only one method for proving the Dao in the world, so they gradually gave up the initial idea, instead seeking other possibilities.
However, when the Qilin Clan jumped into the tribulation and stood in opposition, Ancestor Dragon’s thoughts immediately became active.
Since that old fellow Qilin Ancestor was courting death, he couldn’t be blamed for not remembering the old alliance from the Primordial era!
Not only was Ancestor Dragon secretly calculating.
In the Heavenly Phoenix Great World, the Primordial Phoenix Ancestor frowned and confirmed the message in his hand several times before letting out a gentle sigh: “Qilin Ancestor, Qilin Ancestor, why are you acting so rashly?
We had no intention of attacking you, yet you voluntarily entered the tribulation. Were you deceived by the Heavenly Demon Realm demons, stirring heart demons?
Otherwise, why make such an unwise move?”
She pondered for a long time, finally shaking her head.
Unless Demon Ancestor Luo Hou acted personally, who else could trigger Qilin Ancestor’s heart demon?
But Luo Hou has been absent for long, and with his status and realm, he couldn’t act lightly. If any of the Primordial Chaos Ancestors from the Primordial Ancestor Realm got the opportunity, they certainly wouldn’t hold back.
If not Demon Ancestor, then it’s likely the Qilin Clan was pulled into the boat of the Demon, Demon God Three Realms before they fully allied with Biluo!
Primordial Phoenix was indeed a powerhouse surviving from the Ancient Times; after some thought, she guessed the reason for Qilin Ancestor’s actions.
“But, no matter your reasons!
Her face turned slightly cold: “I originally didn’t want to attack you, to avoid Ancestor Dragon growing other thoughts after removing you. With only my Phoenix Clan left, unforeseeable changes could occur in the future.
But now that my Phoenix Clan is allied with the Dragon Clan, with a Dao Covenant already signed, and even Biluo and the Witch Clan smoothing matters, there shouldn’t be a life-or-death outcome anymore.
Since my Phoenix Clan and Dragon Clan can no longer fight to the death, absorbing your Qilin Clan’s fortune might push me and Ancestor Dragon further ahead, even if it doesn’t break the shackles, it brings us closer to the Primordial Chaos Realm!
In the future, it might even make proving the Dao easier!”
Upon thinking of this, Primordial Phoenix waved her sleeve, sending several spirit lights with messages to various Phoenix leaders, deploying another batch of powerful forces to the front lines.
She prepared to take advantage of this Great Tribulation to crush the Qilin Clan.
It seemed Ancestor Dragon would make the same choice!
Witch Clan.
In the Ancestor Witch Hall, Xingtian Great Witch’s belly button opened, letting out a cold chuckle: “Just preparing for war and already courting death.
Humph, do you really think it’s still the Ancient Times when the Qilin Clan dominated the land?
But that old fellow Qilin Ancestor is powerful, so it seems I’ll have to take a personal trip!”
