Chapter 4983
Zhang Yi chuckled at his words: "Do I look like someone who can relax?"
Black Dragon didn't laugh.
His presence suggests that laughter is a rare emotion for him.
“Now that you have established yourself here,” Hei Longyuan said quietly, “the Huaxu Kingdom is no longer a sheep to be slaughtered. Many tribes will back down and will not touch you.”
"but--"
He paused slightly at this point, then added, "There will also be some trouble; they'll start keeping an eye on you."
Zhang Yi nodded knowingly.
“I know that the Dragon Clan cannot protect us in every detail; ultimately, we must rely on the people of Huaxu Kingdom for our own safety! We will not cause the Dragon Clan too much trouble. Your help today is already the greatest favor you can do for us!”
Zhang Yi's sweet words never seem to come cheap.
As the saying goes, flattery will get you everywhere.
Yuan Jing continued, "It's not just the races you've offended today that might become your enemies in the future. Moreover, by choosing to side with the Dragon Clan, you've established a stance. Therefore, the Dragon Clan's enemies will also implicate you."
"An enemy of the dragons?"
Zhang Yi's eyes widened slightly. Even the mighty Dragon Clan had beings that could be called enemies?
Hei Longyuan said, "They are our old enemies."
He glanced at the representatives of the higher races who had left the venue but were still observing from afar.
He continued, "Don't think of the dragon race as saviors. We once wanted to dominate an entire era; to put it bluntly, we wanted to suppress all other races."
"There will never be a shortage of adversaries in this world. We have fought our way up, and the bones we have trampled, the cities we have burned, and the civilizations we have destroyed... are no cleaner than any conqueror."
Zhang Yi listened intently and attentively.
He is not surprised.
He had guessed before that the dragon race, which was almost deified in history books, could not possibly be positioned as "noble guardians".
The reason you've survived to this day is never because of kindness, but because of your strength!
Heilong Yuanjing continued, "Back then, we broke ties with many races. Some races were wiped out, some survived, and some were forced into deep space, hiding in folded dimensions."
"You know the current situation—the Earth's fold space has opened, and those ancient forces hidden in the interlayers are emerging one by one."
"Among them are not only those we would call 'allies,' but also our former mortal enemies."
"Will they come after us? Yes."
The Black Dragon Abyss is a quiet place.
"But we are not bodyguards standing by the side of the Huaxu Kingdom, at their beck and call. The rules of this era allow us to intervene to a limited extent."
“If we bang the table on everything, those old enemies won’t dare to confront us directly. Instead, they’ll take a roundabout approach and target your Huaxu Kingdom. They’ll target six generations of people.”
"Because this way, they can annoy us without having to confront us directly."
Zhang Yi understood.
"It's a proxy war, right? Advanced civilizations can't fight each other directly because they're wary of one another. So they use the civilization wars below to test each other's strength."
"In other words," he said, "our Huaxu Kingdom is likely to be used as an experimental zone, or rather, as a bargaining chip to settle old scores?"
Hei Longyuan nodded: "That's one possibility."
“There’s another kind,” he said, his gaze growing even more somber, “they’re not fighting for face, they’re fighting for opportunity.”
"An opportunity?" Zhang Yi asked.
We will discuss this matter in detail later.
Bai Longzi responded in silence, his tone calm yet sharp, as if he were dissecting something with a knife.
Take this to heart for now—as long as you're still considered part of the 'Dragon Clan's protected camp,' you've already stepped into the crossroads of those gazes.
"You won't just be fighting against the opponents of the sixth generation of humans; you will be forced to come into contact with the lingering hatred of the previous era, or even the era before that."
“Those beings are no less powerful than us.”
He put it very directly.
Zhang Yi clicked his tongue and let out a soft sigh: "That sounds really troublesome."
Bai Longzi glanced at him sideways, his eyes carrying a hint of cold indifference that seemed to see right through people: "Scared?"
