55: Will the dragon clan prosper or will the demonic path prosper?

"No, that's right, my calculations were not wrong."

After pondering for a moment, Ancestral Dragon felt incomparably firm in his heart.

His calculations could not possibly have any errors.

By planting methods within the Bloodline of the Dragon Clan, he could make the Dragon Clan expand rapidly, at least in terms of numbers.

Then, by utilizing the power of the Demon Race, he could convert a large portion of the Demon Race into the Dragon Clan.

Anyway, for existences of the Demonic Path, their Physical Body and Origin undergoing changes...

...this kind of thing was completely unimportant; as long as their hearts were in the Demonic Path, that would suffice.

As long as there was a place for the Demonic Path in their hearts, they were members of the Demonic Path.

This was the slogan shouted by Luo Hou.

Ancestral Dragon did not believe this kind of talk at all.

It was not as if he hadn't seen the things inside the bodies of those Demon Race members.

Those Demon Seeds could all share a portion of the insights of the Demonic Path Experts.

He did not completely trust those Dragon Clan members who had been converted either.

It was more of a cooperative relationship.

Those converted Dragon Clan members were mainly meant to build momentum.

Ancestral Dragon already had an idea in mind; if the Dragon Clan wanted to expand rapidly, following the path of the Demon Race was no longer possible.

Luo Hou occupied the entire Western Continent and had gathered all the resources.

Plus, he had truly eaten his fill of the dividends from the era of the Innate Fierce Beasts.

If the Dragon Clan wanted to expand and his Dragon Dao wanted to grow strong quickly...

...this method would not work; it was too time-consuming.

The Dragon Clan would grow stronger, but other races would also grow stronger.

Their greatest advantage was that the Dragon Clan had top-tier Great Luo Experts.

Most other races did not have any Great Luo Experts.

During the tribulation of the Innate Fierce Beasts, too many top-tier Innate God-Demons had fallen.

If the Dragon Clan wanted to develop rapidly, it had to take advantage of this transitional period.

Only by incorporating other races into the Dragon Clan would they truly grow strong.

If they continued to wait until Great Luo Experts emerged in every race, things would become difficult.

At this moment, Ancestral Dragon looked at Ao Qing, who was kneeling below, feeling somewhat disappointed, but in the end, he said nothing.

There was no need for anything anymore; having had that kind of relationship with a Succubus, it was meaningless to continue nurturing him.

However, this served as a reminder that the relationship between the Dragon Clan and the Demon Race still needed to be kept at an appropriate distance.

His gaze turned towards those few existences who seemed to have hope of reaching the Great Luo level.

With a thought, he added a small patch to the existing methods.

They would not be seduced by Succubi again because of the methods he had left behind.

It didn't matter for ordinary Dragon Clan members, as they could almost never break through to the Great Luo level.

As for being seduced by Succubi, Ancestral Dragon even welcomed such an occurrence.

Anyway, if they couldn't break through to Great Luo, speeding up their cultivation was still a good thing.

But for those with hope of reaching Great Luo, it wasn't so wonderful.

Although Succubi could speed up cultivation, they could not help them cross the Bottleneck of Great Luo.

This Bottleneck required immeasurable time to polish, and even the sponsorship of Ancestral Dragon.

If Ancestral Dragon really spent a great deal of energy and resources to nurture a Great Luo Expert, the Succubus associated with that Dragon Clan Great Luo could also use this to break through.

The final result would only be one: after the Dragon Clan gained a Great Luo, the Demon Race would also gain a Great Luo.

And they would even be suppressing the Dragon Clan's Great Luo; how could Ancestral Dragon accept that?

What he wanted was the flourishing of the Dragon Dao and the prosperity of the entire Dragon Clan, not the flourishing of the Demonic Path.

Thinking of this, he looked at Ao Qing, his face growing increasingly dissatisfied, and said coldly:

"The deed is done, there is no point in saying anything more."

"You should take care of yourself."

As he spoke, the power of the Water Element Dao erupted from Ancestral Dragon's body, directly sending Ao Qing out of the Ancestral Dragon Palace.

After doing this, he arrived at the depths of the Ancestral Dragon Palace.

Here, the remains of two Chaos Demon Gods were suppressed, which Ancestral Dragon had not yet completely refined.

As for now, he did not plan to refine them anymore.

He was going to sacrifice them, sacrifice them to this world.

Looking at the remains of these two Chaos Demon Gods, a smile appeared on his face, and he began to set up one Formation after another.

Time passed, and one hundred Yuanhuis went by; within the Dragon Clan, True Dragons headed towards the Ancestral Dragon Palace.

Inside the Ancestral Dragon Palace, Ancestral Dragon looked at the various Dragon Clan members, a trace of joy on his face.

After so many years, he was finally about to take the first step.

He took a step and arrived at a Dao platform outside the Ancestral Dragon Palace.

On it, dense Innate runes were spread everywhere.

Ancestral Dragon looked at the Dragon Clan members below and said:

"My Dragon Clan children, today you will all witness the rise of the Dragon Clan with me."

As he spoke, vast power of the Dao was injected into the Ancestral Dragon Palace.

The remains of the two Chaos Demon Gods flew out from within and landed on the Dao platform.

Ancestral Dragon bowed to the Dao platform a few times and said with a solemn face:

"I am Ancestral Dragon, the leader of the Dragon Clan, and today I specifically offer a sacrifice to Heaven and Earth."

"I feel the difficulty of cultivation for all living things in Heaven and Earth, and the chaos of the Primordial World; my heart cannot bear it, and I am willing to lead the Dragon Clan to govern the Four Seas. From now on, among all scaled races, the Dragon Clan shall be the leader."

"May Pangu, Father God, grant permission, and may Heaven and Earth grant permission."

"Sacrifice."

At Mount Sumeru, Luo Hou's gaze looked towards the East Sea, a trace of seriousness on his face.

Ancestral Dragon's move was truly a clever calculation.

Offering a sacrifice to this Heaven and Earth and Pangu, under the banner of governing the Four Seas and unifying the scaled races.

In this way, how could this Heaven and Earth not acknowledge it?

He looked at the sky above the East Sea; the Heavenly Dao had not yet been conceived or born, but that did not mean there were no rules between Heaven and Earth.

Heaven and Earth itself had its own System of operation.

It was just that these Systems were extremely imperfect, and they would not actively repair or compensate.

Nor would they self-inspect.

They could only rely on instinct to develop Heaven and Earth.

For example, right now, above the East Sea, thousands of Daos were roaring, and between Heaven and Earth, a ball of Karma descended, landing on Ancestral Dragon and the Dragon Clan.

Among them, those Demonic Path Experts who had converted into the Dragon Clan naturally had their share.

Feeling the slight increase in the Luck of the Demonic Path, a smile appeared on the corner of Luo Hou's mouth.

Ancestral Dragon was working for him after all.

The flourishing of the Dragon Clan, the prosperity of the Dragon Dao—he did not believe that.

Looking at the slightly increased Luck of the Demonic Path, without hesitation, he simply flicked his sleeve, returning it to those Demonic Path Experts within the Dragon Clan.

At this moment, within the Dragon Clan, morale was high.

Ancestral Dragon's gaze looked towards the West, but there was a trace of solemnity.

That One seemed to have directly returned the Luck that those Demon Race experts had brought to the Demonic Path back to those Demon Race members.

Looking at these Dragon Clan members who had been converted from the Demon Race, he suddenly could not be happy.

He saw that in the eyes of these converted Dragon Clan members, there was a trace of respect.

The object of their respect was not him, Ancestral Dragon, but that Demon Ancestor.

Ancestral Dragon felt depressed; after so many years, these existences had not integrated into the Dragon Clan at all.

In this way, whether the future would be the flourishing of the Dragon Clan or the flourishing of the Demonic Path was truly hard to say.
