Chapter 116: Bloodthirsty Demon Dragon, the Underworld Established

You have upheld Di Yu for three hundred years.

During these three hundred years, as the nine Chaos Immortal Treasures fully upheld the world order, the Heavenly Dao became whole, and the cultivation world gave rise to many outstanding seedlings.

You observe the myriad of the world with the Heavenly Dao's eye.

Your divinity keeps your heart perpetually indifferent, seated to watch the rise and fall of the world, clouds rolling and unfurling.

Occasionally an event catches your special attention, yet you do not intervene.

Stationed over Reincarnation, you have witnessed countless sufferings and joys of the world.

You realize some things cannot be changed; even if forced, time will return them to the origin.

In three hundred years, the cultivation world blossomed, and many cultivators stepped into the realm once called the "Supreme".

Now this realm is called — the Void God Realm.

The name of the realm was defined jointly by you and the other eight holders of the Heavenly Dao Divine Office.

Above the Void God Realm lies the True God Realm.

The True God Realm is called the pinnacle ordinary beings can reach; those who can surpass it are only the nine holders of the Heavenly Dao Divine Office.

You, who preside over the Reincarnation realm, are one of them.

Your realm is called the Wangxian Realm, seated above the Deities, equal to the Heavenly Dao, and transcending the Wangxian.

The final step for beings is to transcend and ascend to Immortal, standing beyond the Heavenly Dao.

Among the cultivators of the Two Realms today, the newly advanced Void God Realm practitioner is your daughter Lin Qingfan.

You occasionally pay attention to her.

Only she, who shares a bloodline with you, can stir a ripple in your heart.

After taking the Heavenly Dao Divine Office, you have never sought out your daughter.

To her, you are an incompetent father.

You, however, do nothing because of it.

You have personally witnessed your daughter's rise step by step, shining brilliantly within the Purple Star Emperor Sect, and having once fought to the death, nearly falling.

From beginning to end you only watched, never intervened.

One day, your daughter Lin Qingfan was found by the Spirit Clan leader, who learned of Ye Xue's unfulfilled long‑ago wish.

Lin Qingfan resolved to inherit her mother's will and fulfill it all.

People of the Purple Star Emperor Sect stopped her.

The reason given was that the Tianlong race, as rulers of the Tianlong Star Domain, must not be provoked lightly; reckless actions would burden the Purple Star Emperor Sect's billions of followers.

Lin Qingfan received the Purple Star Emperor Sect's favor, yet could not ignore her mother Ye Xue's unfulfilled wish.

She knelt before Yang Zu's statue to pay respects.

In the end she chose to leave the Purple Star Emperor Sect, gifting all her treasures and personal legacy to fellow sect members, repaying Yang Zu's teachings.

Lin Qingfan's temperament resembled her mother Ye Xue's greatly; upon arriving at the Tianlong Star Domain, she challenged the Dragon race with an extremely dominant stance.

She said no lofty righteous words, only one sentence:

"The victor is king, the loser is bandit!"

"Spirit Clan Lin Qingfan! Today you lead the Spirit Clan to challenge all True Dragons."

The True Dragon race is full of arrogance.

The contemporary Dragon Emperor stepped forward himself, looking arrogantly at the Spirit Clan, "Dirty Mixed Blood, if you lose, you will be slaves forever."

Lin Qingfan, with a calm expression, looked at the Dragon Emperor, "If you lose, treat all those bearing Dragon blood equally."

"Also, my mother Ye Xue's tomb of robes and crown shall return to the Dragon race's ancestral seat."

There is no reasoning to discuss; this is a wager.

"Fine! How do you wish to compare?"

The Dragon Emperor, so proud, naturally did not shrink back and accepted this grand wager.

Lin Qingfan sneered, "Your Dragon race acts indecently; even your words count for nothing. One‑on‑one is unnecessary; let each supreme one step forward!"

The Dragon race has four Void God Realm masters, each cultivating the elemental Dao of earth, fire, wind, and water, all already perfected.

This is the foundation of their rule over the Tianlong Star Domain.

In comparison, Lin Qingfan is alone and weak; the Spirit Clan is constrained by bloodline, lacking depth, and to date no Void God Realm master has emerged.

At this crucial moment, not a single Spirit Clan member can stand shoulder to shoulder with Lin Qingfan.

This child's stubborn and resilient nature resembles you and Ye Xue.

In her bones she inherits your pride.

The great battle is about to erupt.

Lin Qingfan, one against four, for the first time before the world displayed her strongest side, wielding various Dragon‑blood Divine Powers at will.

The Blood Demon family's Divine Power was also employed with masterful skill.

Conversely, the Purple Star Emperor techniques she had long studied were scarcely used.

This battle raged dark and fierce; had the New World not already had the support of the Heavenly Dao Divine Office, with order intact, the fight would have been enough to shatter the Tianlong Star Domain.

Countless strong beings from the Two Realms focused their gaze here.

The great battle lasted three months.

Lin Qingfan gradually fell into decline.

At the critical moment, she activated the Demon Eye sealed at her forehead, transforming into a violet Demon Dragon, fighting by drinking blood.

The Dragon Emperor was stripped of flesh and sinew by her, having most of his primordial blood drained.

This was a side of Lin Qingfan never shown before, like a blood demon ghoul.

You can clearly feel your daughter's life force being rapidly consumed, already embracing a resolve to die.

"We concede!!"

The Dragon Clan, however, dared not fight to the death, being shaken by Lin Qingfan's madness, and chose to yield.

The Dragon Clan's excessive arrogance has offended too many foes; if the four Dragon Clan Void Deity realms were to perish here together with Lin Qingfan, the Dragon Clan would inevitably face retaliation from the myriad races of the Tianlong Star Domain.

"All Dragon Clan! Swear the Ancestor Dragon Blood Oath! Let the Ancestral Land's divine seal recognize everyone bearing Dragon Clan blood!"

Lin Qingfan's eyes glowed scarlet as he stood atop the Dragon Emperor's skull, and proudly spoke.

The Ancestor Dragon Blood Oath is an ancient, mysterious ritual.

The Ancestor Dragon is the source of all Dragon Clan bloodlines; any Ancestor Dragon Blood Oath is etched into the bloodline inheritance of the entire Dragon Clan, to be followed for generations and never broken.

Ye Xue was once cursed by the Dragon Clan with the bloodline curse of 'eternally never transforming into a True Dragon Body,' which is also a form of the Ancestor Dragon Blood Oath.

Under Lin Qingfan's overwhelming pressure, the Dragon Clan swore the Ancestor Dragon Blood Oath.

From then on, anyone imbued with Dragon Clan blood may enter the Dragon Clan territory within the Tianlong Star Domain to cultivate and enjoy all the privileges of the True Dragon Clan.

He forced the True Dragon Clan to recognize all offspring and juniors, acknowledging the past Karma.

Lin Qingfan also created a competition called the 'True Dragon Conference,' proclaiming that only the strong are true dragons and may obtain the genuine treasure of the Dragon Clan's Ancestral Land.

Later, Lin Qingfan personally placed Ye Xue's ceremonial tomb into the Dragon Clan's Ancestral Land, ranking Ye Xue among the Dragon Clan's ancestral seats and restoring the name Tian Long Xue.

After the Dragon Clan incident concluded, Lin Qingfan chose to enter a long-term seclusion.

Since then, fewer and fewer events have been able to draw your attention.

As the heavens and earth expanded, the number of living beings grew ever larger.

You recruited a host of living beings to help manage Di Yu, establishing an organization called Di Fu, and granting them 'Divine Slave Positions.'

Di Yu became much livelier, and even reincarnation grew increasingly difficult.

In this situation, a powerful being bribed a ghost messenger, arranged with Wu Chang and the King of Hell, so that the Di Fu administrators could secure a good rebirth for their own family.

You merely turned a blind eye to it.

Except for those holding the Heavenly Dao Divine Office, every living being harbors personal desires; it's inevitable, and you regard these as within the rules.

Heavenly Dao remains silent, you do nothing, and you fell into slumber.

Day after day, Time Flows.

Until one day, a woman dressed in purple arrived before Reincarnation and awakened you.
