Chapter 2793 - 71: Contemporary People View the Past

The deep forest, the solemn stone monument, the sneaky Yuan Mengji, the mysterious tone...

Chai Asi was startled and became cautious as well.

He always felt that the shadows in the forest were not quite right, as if they were the overcast shadows of some Dragon Clan’s downfall.

The Demon clan and the Dragon Clan are mortal enemies!

Even though everyone says so, upon discovering the Dragon Clan’s traces one should rush up. Yet, his strength was insufficient, and he needed to preserve his useful self for the Demon clan, so keeping a distance was the best strategy.

No matter how much one despises the Dragon Clan, their power must still be acknowledged.

The Demon clan is truly the Heavenly Favored one, with each of a hundred types having their own strengths, but differences in length always indicate rank... no matter how they are ranked, the Dragon Clan is among the very top.

Without contacting the Supreme, Chai Asi himself didn’t have the confidence to face it. Seeing Yuan Mengji’s cowardly appearance, it was clear he wasn’t up for it either.

"Young Master Yuan, why don’t we pick up the pace?" Chai Asi suggested softly.

Yuan Mengji nodded, his voice also small, "It’s not that I’m afraid, mainly we’re short on time."

The two demons tiptoed past the stone monument.

They also walked past that period of time.

The last Demon Emperor of the Ancient Times had already sacrificed in the process of opening up the Monster Realm. Along with him, his kin were also sacrificed. After that, everything left no trace, leaving only one hundred and eight Demon Life Treasure Pearl and this stable new world.

Since the Ancient Demon Emperor died, his sacrifice of blood kin also paved the way for the designated next Demon Emperor.

The new Demon Emperor ascended, rose from tribulation, held up the collapsing heavens, led the Demon clan through that unstable period... that was the Ancient Era as recorded by the Human Race.

From then till now, the lords of the Ancient Imperial City had already been passed down through four generations.

The position that Yu Zhen fought for back then was precisely the third generation Demon Emperor after the opening of the Monster Realm. He lost to the one whose statue still stands in the Ancient Imperial City, who presided over the "Wuling Blood Battle," hailed as the strongest Demon Emperor of the new world, Emperor Yuan Xi.

In the most glorious war in the history of the Demon clan’s new realm, the Human Race was nearly beaten back to the present world. It once changed the entire racial war situation, shifting the Demon clan from defensive to offensive...

To compete with Demon Emperor Yuan Xi, one must have great ambition and courage to do so.

"Dragons were demons," is the truth of history, and was Yu Zhen’s political doctrine back then.

Emulating the historical era of conflagration, the Hundred Races fought against demons. It can be said that lessons were drawn from the downfall of an era of glory, to unite all possible forces to counterattack the Human Race.

But ideals are always plump and enticing, while reality is always frail and lean.

Although it is said that the enemy of one’s enemy is a friend.

When it comes to the "Dragon Clan’s return," it is far from easy.

For the Demon clan, both the Human Race and the Dragon Clan are mortal enemies, it’s debatable which side is more hateful!

It is because the Human Race currently stands strong in the present world and dominates the Ten Thousand Realms that the Demon clan and Sea Clan, as the oppressed and weaker side, have found a basis for cooperation.

To let the Dragon Clan return, the first problem to solve is the mutual trust between the Demon clan and the Dragon Clan.

For the Demon clan, having been betrayed by the Dragon Clan once, how could they entrust their vital interests to them again?

For the Dragon Clan, they are also deeply aware of how deeply the cut they dealt in the Ancient Era. How can they believe that the Demon clan is truly sincere about cooperation, and not harboring plans to settle accounts after the fact?

Yu Zhen infiltrated the present world, personally went to the Cang Sea, and with a life-or-death of a peerless strong one of the Demon clan, pushed this matter forward greatly... It must be said, this action took incredible courage.

A commoner cares little about life and death, acting in a moment of rage is not great courage.

A high-born son should not sit under precarious roofs.

At the level Yu Zhen was at back then, doing nothing already stood at the pinnacle of the Ten Thousand Realms, yet he still poured everything into his political ideals... no wonder he traveled afar to the Chaos Sea for so many years, and never showed his profile again yet continued to be celebrated as a legend.

The matter of the Dragon Clan’s return to the Demon clan led by Yu Zhen ultimately ended in near success, the details of which are not passed down through the world, the so-called truth of history perhaps can only be explored deep in time.

Yuan Mengji is only aware that history indeed has vague records, Yu Zhen indeed moved the Dragon Clan back then. Even a few True Dragons returned to the Monster Realm with Yu Zhen...

This suggests that in today’s Land of Shenxiao, it is possible that a Dragon Clan exists.

In the current environment, the possibility of the Dragon Clan’s return no longer exists. If there is indeed a Dragon Clan here, should he encounter them, he likely wouldn’t have a chance to greet them.

So he went down the steps set by Chai Asi and walked briskly.

Neither demon nor dragon, viewing this piece of history from the Human Race’s perspective, Jiang Wang felt a different kind of grandeur.

Whether it was Yu Zhen venturing into danger, going deep into the Cang Sea, spearheading the Dragon Clan’s return.

Or the Water Race led by the Dragon Clan retreating into the Cang Sea, dragons turning into beasts, and the subsequent Eastern Sea dragons never appearing in demon form again.

It all made him feel the grandeur of history.

One magnificent story after another, rising and falling within the Long River of time. No matter which piece is picked, it contains the generous writings of that era.

For thousands, millions, innumerable years, the Human Race has been vying against such respectable adversaries.

The human sages, facing such formidable enemies, firmly controlled the present world, protected the peace of the Human Race, and cemented the position of the Human Race as the lord of the present world.

How can contemporary people not feel admiration when reflecting on the past?
