430: Indecisiveness and hesitation ultimately lead to negative consequences.

This thing has been calling to me, tell me how to resolve this call so I can return to the Sect with peace of mind.

Long Yue looked at you, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. There was appreciation, but also helplessness.

She looked at the dragon egg and responded, "The Sacred Relic has fallen into a deep state of self-defense and seclusion due to external impact. Unsealing it is not difficult..." She paused, "But please believe, the Emperor of Ten Thousand Dragons is a destiny you cannot escape."

"Destiny." You chewed on the word, a strong sense of resistance inexplicably rising in your heart.

When you were wandering alone and helpless, destiny did not appear; when you were discriminated against and bullied because of your Dragon scales and dragon horns, destiny did not appear.

Now that you have a family in Qingyun Sect and a stable life, destiny has arrived?

You said nothing more, just silently helped Long Yu up.

Seeing this, Long Yue no longer insisted on an explanation, turning to lead the way: "Please follow me back to the Clan's station. Your identity needs to be known by all Clan members."

Following Long Yue out of the cave, when you arrived at the True Dragon Clan's vast station, the sight before you completely shocked you.

Endless palace complexes stretched as far as the eye could see, countless Dragon Clan members with varying strengths of Qi gathered here... when you appeared, all their gazes uniformly converged, and the crowd automatically parted to form a wide path leading directly to the most majestic Ancient Dragon Hall at the center of the station.

Watched by tens of thousands of gazes, you felt uncomfortable all over, not knowing where to put your hands and feet.

"Fortunately, Long Yu Ge is here, otherwise, walking here alone would be so awkward..." You secretly rejoiced, gratefully glancing at Long Yu, whose face was still somewhat pale beside you.

But at the same time, you keenly noticed that not all the gazes cast your way were filled with reverence and curiosity. Many gazes, especially those falling on Long Yu, carried undisguised coldness, disgust, and even... killing intent.

You took their gazes into your eyes, secretly thinking, "I must protect Long Yu Ge."

Walking through the path bathed in gazes, you finally entered the majestic Ancient Dragon Hall. Several Dragon Clan high-ranking members, whose Qi was as profound as mountains, were already waiting in the hall.

The leader was an elder with silver hair and beard, and dragon horns winding like ancient trees. His gaze was gentle yet profound, as if it could pierce through hearts. He was the current head of the True Dragon Clan—Clan Acting Head.

The character 'Ao' signifies that he is an elder from ten thousand years ago.

"Child, welcome home." Clan Acting Head's voice carried a strange soothing power, but you felt nothing in your heart.

This place was luxurious, powerful, and connected by Bloodline, yet to you, it was so strange.

"Although the Yao Race Seal on the Sacred Relic is troublesome, for us, it will only take some time."

"During this time, you can rest assured and stay here. Long Yue will be responsible for taking care of you and explaining our Clan's history, Legacy, and... the responsibilities you will need to bear in the future."

Responsibility. Two words, heavy as a thousand jun.

You had no room to refuse.

Your residence was naturally the main hall, while Long Yu was placed in a corner room of the side hall, ostensibly for "recuperation," but in reality, it was a form of house arrest, with Dragon Guards stationed outside the hall.

You raised objections to this, and after much persuasion, Long Yue finally agreed to withdraw the Dragon Guards.

Day 41 of entering the Secret Realm

The Seal on the dragon egg is being lifted.

And you, are honored as a distinguished guest.

Day 46 of entering the Secret Realm

After a few days, you pieced together the truth from Long Yue and others' words.

It turns out that your Bloodline is special; once you undergo the dragon egg baptism, you can become the supreme Ancestral Dragon, ruling over all Dragons.

The term Ancestral Dragon made your heart yearn, and your sense of resistance quietly faded.

Day 47 of entering the Secret Realm

You found Long Yue and inquired about the details of becoming an Ancestral Dragon.

She described supreme authority and power, but then added, "Our Clan originally belonged to the Immortal Court; we came here to avoid a calamity, and one day we must return to the Immortal Court."

This meant that if you chose to stay here, you could never return to Qingyun Sect.

After listening, you made your choice: "Indeed, I still don't want to stay here."

Long Yue suggested, "We can bring the entire Qingyun Sect to the Immortal Court."

This proposal was very tempting, but after deep thought, you shook your head.

The discrimination Long Yu suffered here made your heart cold; you didn't want your fellow Sect members to also face cold gazes.

Even more, you feared that if Qingyun Sect left that land and familiar life, it would no longer be the home in your heart.

Day 50 of entering the Secret Realm

As you spent more time with Long Yue, you grew increasingly fond of her.

You learned that she was the True Dragon Clan's foremost beauty, possessing Sacred Blood, and originally had the opportunity to enter the dragon egg herself to seek sublimation, yet she chose to wait and serve the fated person, solely for the continuation of her Clan.

"As long as I stay here, I can have her..." Greed inevitably arose in your heart, but then you shook your head vigorously, "No, everyone is still waiting for me."

Day 52 of entering the Secret Realm

With the dragon egg's unsealing imminent, Long Yue once again urged you to stay.

You couldn't help but ask, "You could clearly enter the dragon egg too, so why did you choose to wait for the so-called fated person?"

"Everyone has their own choices. I am a Fate Officer, and my duty is to ensure the greatest possible continuation of the True Dragon Clan." Long Yue's gaze was calm.

"Moreover, the king of the True Dragon Clan needs to possess the ambition to contend for the Great Era. I do not have such a thing, so serving the Ancestral Dragon is my destiny."

She hesitated slightly, her voice softer: "If you stay, I will give myself to you when I deem it appropriate. A True Dragon Covenant, unwavering for life."

"At that time, I will belong solely to you."

Faced with the beauty's allure, your heart wavered intensely.

The True Dragon Clan was your true home, but Qingyun Sect was also a home you had painstakingly acquired.

You wanted both.

"Indecisive, stuck in the middle, and ultimately reaping what one sows." Qin Wangchuan couldn't help but shake his head upon seeing this. "A protagonist's standard, somewhat like Sixth Brother... Hiss!"

"Now that I think about it, Sixth Brother has the protagonist's template?"

He could already imagine Sixth Brother stirring up trouble in a foreign land.

Day 55 of entering the Secret Realm

After struggling for three days, you found Long Yue to discuss: "I cannot abandon Qingyun Sect; that is where I came from."

You looked at her, your tone serious, "And you, too, should not be entangled by destiny."

"The beauty of the world lies in choice. If you are willing... you can come with me. Qingyun Sect may not have the majestic halls of the Dragon Clan, but there are sunrises over a sea of clouds, the hustle and bustle of common life, another way of living."

"Do you want to see it?"

That's right, you wanted it all; you wanted her to come with you.

"I belong to the True Dragon Clan; serving the Ancestral Dragon is the destiny I have chosen." She refused flatly.

Saying this, Long Yue seemed to provoke you, revealing some hidden matters: "Actually, you are not the only Ancestral Dragon candidate."

"There's someone else?" You were astonished, then asked, "Then why didn't you choose him, but me?"

"It's not that I chose, but that you arrived first. The first to enter the dragon egg is the Ancestral Dragon; I will belong to him." Long Yue looked into the distance, "The other one hasn't arrived, perhaps because of the alien race.

"The alien race is fearful and has made him their top priority."
