Chapter 56: with translation of chapter title

Huanglong Zhenren

Huanglong

Note: Although Huanglong Zhenren and Huanglong refer to the same entity, the glossary requires listing every named entity that appears; therefore we may list both forms separately.

Similarly, Zu Long appears as Zu Long and Zu Long's son (but we treat Zu Long's son as a description, not a name). We'll list Zu Long as Zu Long.

Duobao Daoren

Wood color green, located in the east, is taken as the orthodox true dragon as the Azure Dragon of the east. Fire color red, located in the south, is taken as the orthodox true dragon as the Vermilion Dragon of the south. Metal color white, located in the west, is taken as the orthodox true dragon as the White Dragon of the west. Water color black, located in the north, is taken as the orthodox true dragon as the Black Dragon of the north.

These are basic common knowledge of the Dragon Race; you all know, and you also know that these four colored true dragons are actually the noble bloodline passed down from the four sons of the Ancestral Dragon; after the Dragon-Phoenix Great Calamity, only these four sons of the Ancestral Dragon survived, hence they are called the orthodox Dragon Race.

Great Chieftain

Vice Chieftain

Chieftain

Human Chieftain

Human Traitor

You sometimes also think, the human race is ultimately the heaven-ordained protagonist, is the Heavenly Dao-approved demon among demons; no matter from which angle, the human race should ride on the heads of the vast demon race to wield power and enjoy blessings, while your defiant heavenly act, however, forces them down to the ground……

Supreme Demon

But you think, as long as those who harbor ideals in the future always occupy the mainstream position of the human race, there will surely be hope; even if occasionally deviating, they will surely return to the right path.

Sage

Three Lifetimes

Three Lifetimes Restarted

Perhaps when the future arrives at the day when the human race fully suppresses the Demon Race, at the moment the human race spits on you as a "human traitor", the Demon Race populace will also curse you as a "demon traitor", because it is precisely you who single-handedly raised up the human race as this demon among demons, enabling them to truly have the ability to oppress the Demon Race……

But misfortune is misfortune here, Huang Longsheng is in the territory of the enemy Qilin Race, and moreover it is when the three sides are fighting each other to a white-hot stage; one can imagine what a sky-collapse opening this is.

Five Directions Five Elements Qi

Thus, this became a regret of the Ancestral Dragon, waiting until the late stage of the Three-Race Great War, when the Ancestral Dragon finally seized the opportunity to stealthily toss a fragment of origin onto the Qilin Cliff where earth-element qi is most abundant……

After hearing Huang Long's handful of bitter tears, you couldn't help but also feel some empathy; the two of you had arms around each other's shoulders, meeting late and regretting not having met sooner, chatting enthusiastically!

Four Seas True Dragon

Afterwards the three races withdrew, Hongjun preached the Dao, and the Jade Pure Daoist, a disciple of Hongjun, happened to discover this unlucky fellow; considering he was the son of that old fogey Ancestral Dragon, he was delighted at the sight of prey, casually added a stamp to his collection, and took him as a disciple……

South Vermilion Dragon

After successfully securing the friendship, Huang Long Zhenren, who had just been shedding small pearls, finally revealed his true intention: "Chief, look at my position as vice chief?"

North Black Dragon

In the situation where Di Jun cannot open his Dharma Eye, he only has two criteria to judge the human race's protagonist identity: one is the human race's diplomatic tendency, the other is the sage's disciple discerned by scent.

Dragon-Phoenix Great Calamity

Yeah, I am ultimately a human race chieftain of demon race origin; that's why I have wandered through three lifetimes, still ultimately for the demon race, and helping the human race is merely pitying their initial plight; more so, the reason is actually unwilling to see the later demon race slaughtered and oppressed by the human race.

Demon Race

Huang Long coughed once; in your shocked gaze, he unconsciously raised his head and puffed his chest, preparing to accept the worship from the lower bloodline of the Dragon Race.

You thought it over, agreed, and on the spot appointed him as chief professor of the human race's artifact forging, responsible for cultivating senior talent in the human race's artifact forging; Duobao, whose specialty matched, happily accepted the order and withdrew.

His behavior is no less than forcing a fierce beast to eat grass; therefore, in the future his reputation among the human race will also gradually decline... perhaps there will come a day when the "enlightened" human race will personally cast down the sole sun that led them out of the initial dire straits from its divine pedestal...

You suddenly feel like mocking yourself, a great chieftain of the human race, yet always considering the Demon Race—simply the number one human traitor!

Qilin Tribe

And as long as you can maintain this state, the human race can truly achieve long-term coexistence with the Demon Race, mutual progress—this is the greatest achievement you have obtained since your three lifetimes of restart!

Earthly Qi

As for the even more distant future, whether the human race can still coexist with the Demon Race... you don't know, and the sage doesn't know either.

Qin Shi Huang

You gave a faint smile, then had someone take him to cut in line, assigning him to the harshest tribe! As a relative of the great chief, you naturally ought to set an example.

In the popular imagination, the Primordial Dragon ought to be a harem king with many concubines, hence his many children; but in reality, although he did indeed keep a vast harem, the offspring he produced were all like the Dragon's Nine Sons—mixed‑blood aberrant dragons, not true dragons at all.

The crucial point is, the Primordial Dragon sired him but didn't love him; he was merely interested in collecting, so he never paid him any attention at all.

You ask yourself sincerely.

The Qilin tribe naturally took out their anger on him every day, so the young Yellow Dragon had a feeling akin to Qin Shi Huang's early years as a hostage in Zhao; under such circumstances, let alone cultivation, merely staying alive was considered a great fortune.

We can't talk about this any further!

Now, after your micro‑adjustments, both indicators have totally failed; in other words, under ordinary circumstances Di Jun could not possibly discover the human race's identity.

The Primordial Dragon placed the four separated clusters of primordial essence into the four seas, then used the qi of the four directions as a guide, thereby giving rise to the four true dragons of the seas, each corresponding to a direction, a color, and an element.

Yellow Dragon: … Looks like I played my feeling card for nothing!

The Yellow Dragon True Person left the chief's room with a gloomy face; now only Duobao Daoist remains.

"Because I can barely be considered a son of the Primordial Dragon…"

And the problem lies here: although heaven and earth clearly possess the five directions' five elemental qi, the Primordial Dragon has only four true dragon sons, lacking one corresponding to the central land's earthly qi…

Duobao Daoist beside him, seeing this, gritted his teeth in hatred: "Old timer! You wrote that little essay pretty well…"

Just like the countless choices you have made over your three lifetimes, you never really had much leeway to choose…
