Chapter 3117: Refusing Goodwill

Ye Liuyun, within his Space World, gave the Dragon Clan a separate planet, so the Dragon Clan is not only safe but also has considerably increased overall strength.

However, their rate of advancement is certainly not as fast as Ye Liuyun's; Ao Ding and the few Elders only dominate the second and third realms. Yet their vitality is very strong, and each appears vigorous. Ye Liuyun is truly generous to the Dragon Clan; all the old dragons have taken Life Spring Water, which can at least let them live a few hundred years longer.

The Dragon Clan's bodies are huge; to restore vitality, each old dragon needs at least several hundred drops of Life Spring Water to be effective.

Long Tao, seeing Ao Ding and the others at such low realms, shows an even stronger look of disappointment in his eyes.

The Elder beside Ao Ding, after sensing their realms, also worries that the addition of these Dragon Clan members will disrupt their current management structure.

But Ao Ding calmly communicated with Long Tao for a long time. When they talked, they manifested their true forms and conversed in Dragon language, yet Ye Liuyun could also understand.

Long Tao's main concern is that Ao Ding and his group's strength is too low to guard the Dragon Clan. He also does not wish to enter Ye Liuyun's Space World and be subject to Ye Liuyun's control.

More importantly, Ye Liuyun's power is not strong, so resources within the Space World are limited, and the Dragon Clan's development naturally cannot be rapid. Like Ao Ding and these dragons, although they are safe, their strength remains poor. He does not want these dragon descendants to go to such resource‑scarce places.

Regarding this, Ye Liuyun has no solution. He truly cannot give all the resources to the Dragon Clan. Even the people around him cannot be cared for fully, let alone the Dragon Clan. His own power has risen relatively quickly, but Long Tao is dissatisfied, and he too has no way.

In response, Ye Liuyun candidly said: "I can sign a Divine Soul Contract with you; whenever you wish to leave, I will not hinder you!"

He can only do that, temporarily providing the Dragon Clan a safe environment. At least it is better than the dragons being trapped here to death.

Ao Ding also gave a guarantee, and Long Tao then believed Ye Liuyun.

However, he then said to Ao Ding: "After we go there, who will govern the Dragon Clan? The Dragon Clan has always respected the strongest; we are strong, so how can you still govern us?"

Perhaps you could carve

out a separate area, letting us decide for ourselves?

Ao Ding, upon hearing that, felt somewhat embarrassed. In that case, they would become two Dragon Clans. The Dragon Clan Elders also showed displeased expressions.

Ao Ding looked at Ye Liuyun; after all, it is Ye Liuyun's Space World, so he must consult Ye Liuyun's opinion.

Ye Liuyun sent a Transmission Voice: "You let them go to strengthen the Dragon Clan. If they are not aligned with you, what use is it to send them over? Not all Dragon Clan members share your ideas. Especially the strong ones; many of them disdain associating with low‑realm dragons."

I suggest, if you want to bring them back, directly control them with a Divine Soul Contract; otherwise it will become a trouble later, and it could tear your Dragon Clan apart.

Ye Liuyun's words also seemed correct to Ao Ding. Even before they unite, they already have divergent intentions; if they unite later, the trouble will be greater, and it could truly cause internal strife within the Dragon Clan, leading to division.

However, their strength is insufficient; they cannot defeat these Dragon Clan members, so subduing them by force is unrealistic.

Even if Ye Liuyun could subdue other Dragon Clan, Long Tao, though low in vitality, can still kill them if he fights with his life. Moreover, Ao Ding does not want Long Tao to be exhausted.

So for a while he cannot decide.

Ao Ding does not ask Ye Liuyun, and Ye Liuyun also does not express his opinion. This is the Dragon Clan's own matter, and he cannot take part.

Whatever they decide, Ye Liuyun does not mind. His Space World is now large enough, and the Primordial Power is abundant; accommodating all these Dragon Clan members causes no impact at all.

But it is his Space World, and these Dragon Clan must obey his governance. He does not want them to cause trouble and disrupt the peace there. If Ao Ding cannot subdue these Dragon Clan, he will intervene, control them, and will not leave them unattended.

The Dragon Clan before him, except Long Tao, can all be dealt with by his Metal Puppet. The Dragon Clan can suppress ferocious beasts, but they are powerless against the Puppet. Their dragon might, bloodline, and Divine Soul pressure are useless against the Puppet.

As for Long Tao, he can only be dealt with using the Godslaying Bow. Long Tao's Divine Soul Power is stronger than his current Divine Soul Power. He was previously

a Taixu third‑realm strongman; if Long Tao does not voluntarily release his Soul to surge into his Sea of Consciousness, he could not handle him at all.

Ao Ding persuaded Long Tao again, but in the end there was no result, and he could only helplessly give up and return to Ye Liuyun's Space World.

Ye Liuyun also claimed that he had fulfilled his previous promise to the Dragon Clan. Now it is Long Tao and the others who do not wish to leave, not that he failed to help. Long Nv and Lei Ming and the others also feel regret, yet likewise have no way.

Thus Ye Liuyun bid farewell to Long Tao, and Long Nv and the others also said goodbye to Long Tao, then transformed into human form to depart.

But suddenly, Long Tao called them back: "I know you came out of goodwill toward the Dragon Clan, trying to rescue us, so I won't make things difficult for you. Leave all the resources you carry before you go, letting us hold out a bit longer, improve our strength a little, and perhaps we might still break out."

"Hm?" Ye Liuyun heard this and was somewhat confused.

Lei Ming and Long Nv were also stunned, as if this old dragon were robbing them, yet speaking so self‑righteous.

"Senior, are you trying to rob us?" he asked directly.

"What robbery of you! It's you who rashly barged in. I, seeing the bond you have with our Dragon Clan, will not kill you. I let you leave some resources—do you still have any objections?"

"You wanted to help our Dragon Clan, right? Are you even unwilling to part with a bit of resources? We have no resources here; if you don't leave any, how can we survive?"

Long Tao's series of self‑righteous retorts left Ye Liuyun speechless with anger.

Lei Ming and Long Nv and the others were so shocked they opened their mouths wide, not knowing what to say.

Ye Liuyun calmed his emotions before saying to Long Tao: "My help has already been rejected by you. I gave you a chance to leave, and you didn't; what does whether you have resources have to do with me?"

How I help you, and how much I help you, is decided by me; don't take our goodwill as if I owe you.

But you kind of Dragon Clan really opened my eyes. To think you would rob those who help you, and say it so self‑righteous!

Long Tao, after hearing this, was not angry; he simply said calmly: "Alas, I have no choice either. Without resources, they simply cannot survive. As long as they can survive, I don't mind losing this old face."
