No hope for eternal life

Chapter 384 Ao Yuan's Enlightenment

Every question Ao Yuan asked was related to the Dragon Clan. He did this to see how Mu Changsheng viewed the Dragon Clan. After all, he didn't want to send the treasure to a cultivator who was hostile to the Dragon Clan.

After asking three questions, Ao Yuan was not only very satisfied, but he also found that many of Mu Changsheng's ideas highly overlapped with his. They were like close friends, making him feel that they had met too late.

"What you said is very good. If we dragons want to be stable, we must cut off all ties with the demons." Ao Yuan said with emotion: "I have read the history of the Nine Realms and learned a truth from it. Do you know what it is?"

"Please give me some advice, senior." Mu Changsheng said respectfully. He had also browsed the history of the Nine Realms and was very curious about what Ao Yuan had realized.

Ao Yuan showed a trace of sadness on his face, and said slowly: "The truth I realized is that the human race is the protagonist of this world!"

"This..." Mu Changsheng was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Ao Yuan didn't say anything else. He was still immersed in sadness. Of course he should be sad, because he was a cultivator of the demon race after all. Admitting that humans were the protagonists of the world was equivalent to sentencing the entire demon race to death, and the demon race would never have a chance to make a comeback.

After a long while, Mu Changsheng asked, "Why do you think so, Senior?"

"Let's take the history of the Nine Realms to prove it." Ao Yuan explained: "Before the first year of Tiansheng, the highest level of cultivation was only the Eighth Realm. At that time, the demon race and the human race could still fight back and forth, and the demon race even had the upper hand. But the appearance of Tiansheng Emperor broke everything and let the world know that there are nine realms above the Eighth Realm. With Tiansheng Emperor in charge, the human race completely overwhelmed the demon race. At that time, only the human race knew the method to achieve the Nineth Realm. As a result, the demon race was 50,000 years late to give birth to the first Nineth Realm cultivator. One step slower, every step slower."

"He is the first demon emperor, the first celestial demon emperor, and also the first emperor of the dragon clan." Mu Changsheng added.

"The human race was able to completely overwhelm the demon race. The above factors were actually only secondary factors." Ao Yuan continued: "The truly fatal factor was the move of the Sub-Saint Great Emperor Ji Tianxu."

Mu Changsheng was also very familiar with that period of history. He continued Ao Yuan's words and said, "Only a hundred years after the death of the Heavenly Saint Emperor, the Sub-Saint Emperor attained enlightenment and became an emperor. The first thing the Sub-Saint Emperor did after achieving the ninth realm was to overturn the Heavenly Saint Emperor's mild policy towards the demon race and lead the human race to drive all the demon cultivators to the Heavenly Demon Realm."

“Yes, the human cultivators at that time all worshipped the Heavenly Saint Emperor as a god. The Sub-Saint Emperor actually dared to openly overturn the Heavenly Saint Emperor’s ideas. That required tremendous courage. He possessed insights beyond that era. The title of Sub-Saint Emperor was well-deserved.” Ao Yuan sighed. Even though the Sub-Saint Emperor was the culprit who drove away and slaughtered the dragon clan back then, he still respected the Sub-Saint Emperor very much and discussed the matter based on facts, regardless of his position.

"What the Sub-Sage Emperor did is indeed a good thing that will benefit future generations for thousands of years." Mu Changsheng nodded. At that time, the Heavenly Saint Emperor advocated peaceful coexistence with the demon clan, so four realms were left for the demon clan in the Nine Realms. The Sub-Sage Emperor decisively expelled all the demons in the four realms to the Heavenly Demon Realm, thus setting standards for the human race in future generations. The demons can do whatever they want in the Heavenly Demon Realm, as long as they don't cross the line. It was also from then on that the human race and the demon clan started a peaceful period of more than 100,000 years without interfering with each other. Only now, the demon clan has begun to become restless.

In comparison, Mu Changsheng is more inclined to the idea of ​​the Sub-Saint Emperor, because reality has proved that the demon clan can cause so many problems just by occupying one realm. If the demon clan had occupied four realms for hundreds of thousands of years, the trouble they would cause now would definitely be even greater.

"I said that the human race is the protagonist of heaven and earth, not just because the demon race has less territory." Ao Yuan continued: "From the perspective of the demon race, you will find that since the appearance of the Heavenly Saint Emperor, the demon race's luck has always been weaker than that of the human race. Although the demon race has not lacked the Nine Realms cultivators since the birth of the first Nine Realms cultivator, the Nine Realms cultivators of the demon race always seem to lack some talent compared to the human cultivators. The human race has the Heavenly Saint and the Sub-Saint Emperors from afar, and the Heavenly Fire Emperor, Yang Wuji, and You Wushuang from recently. Regardless of their character, the Changsheng Emperor and the Black Demon can also be counted among them. These people, whether in talent or combat power, are rare in the world. And how many of the demon emperors of all generations can be compared with them? The answer is none. The only one who can barely be counted is my Dragon Clan senior Ao Xuan. She was born in the same era as You Wushuang and the Heavenly Fire Emperor, and they are also good friends. But compared with You Wushuang and the Heavenly Fire Emperor, she still pales in comparison."

Mu Changsheng nodded slightly. After listening to Ao Yuan's opinion, he had to admit that the human race was indeed much better than the demon race in terms of luck.

Ao Yuan then directly revealed his true feelings and said: "When I realized that the human race is the protagonist of the world, my idea was not that man will conquer nature, but since the demon race cannot defeat the human race, why should we fight? From that time on, my goal in this life has been established. I want to lead the dragon race, break away from the demon race, and integrate into the human race. I hope that one day the dragon cultivators can travel between the nine realms like the human cultivators, without having to endure the scrutiny and strange eyes of others."

Mu Changsheng echoed with awe, "That day will definitely come."

Mu Changsheng has clearly realized that the senior Ao Yuan in front of him also has extremely lofty ideals. How can one not respect such a senior?

Ao Yuan expressed his thoughts today, feeling quite happy, and then smiled and said: "My friend and I hit it off right away, so we talked a little more, please don't think I'm being long-winded."

"No, I have a lot of feelings after listening to your words. To be honest, before I came to Dragon Palace, I was worried that there would be traps here. Now I feel extremely ashamed." Mu Changsheng said ashamedly.

"It's all over." Ao Yuan said nonchalantly. Instead, he appreciated Mu Changsheng's honesty even more.

Then, Ao Yuan waved his hand, and one after another colorful treasures appeared out of thin air in front of Mu Changsheng.

"Just pick whatever you like. This is what you deserve." Ao Yuan said generously.

"Then thank you first, senior." Mu Changsheng thanked him and turned his attention to the treasure.

It is said that most dragon cultivators like to collect treasures. Today, Mu Changsheng has opened his eyes to the treasures he has collected. The God Fruit, the Purple Sky Gourd, the Green Lotus Fruit, the Nine-Leaf Vine...

Mu Changsheng saw hundreds of these rare treasures that he had only seen in books. Each treasure could be sold for at least tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones if taken outside.

However, Mu Changsheng's attention was soon attracted by a strange white spirit bead. The reason why this bead was strange was that Mu Changsheng could not recognize it.

Mu Changsheng held up the spirit bead with both hands and sensed it carefully, but he could only feel an extremely huge and pure spiritual power within the spirit bead, as if there was nothing else except spiritual power.

Therefore, Mu Changsheng could only ask Ao Yuan: "What is this thing, why have I never heard of it?"

"It's normal that you don't recognize this thing. This is the seven-star dragon ball, which is unique to our clan. Our cultivators are born with a dragon ball. The dragon ball is nurtured by its owner day and night and gradually becomes magical. According to the cultivation level of the dragon ball owner from the first realm to the ninth realm, the dragon balls are divided into one star to nine stars. And our dragon clan has a tradition that before the death of each cultivator, all his life's strength will be transferred into his own dragon ball. Each dragon ball can be regarded as the continuation of the life of a deceased dragon cultivator. For this reason, our clan never passes on the dragon balls to others. I also took this out specially because I felt that you just needed it." Ao Yuan explained with a smile.
