Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1633 - At first glance, Xiao Qiong was favored by the ancestor

Chu Hao's expression was filled with emotion, never having imagined that the fate of the Nielong clan would be so twisted and complex.

Dying because of betrayal, born because of betrayal.

This was the Nielong Ancestor, the existence who disrupted the balance of the three clans during the initial Dragon-Han tribulation, ultimately leading to their demise.

The wails of the Nielong clan still echoed in his ears, but they were gradually becoming weaker.

Although the Nielong Ancestor was underground, it moved as if through nothing. Whether it was the earth below or the air above, all mediums seemed to be nonexistent.

The Nielong Ancestor slowly soared upwards, unhurried, its voice indifferent.

"Descendants, to revive me, you have performed immeasurable merit. You may rest in peace. I will ascend to the Supreme of the Myriad Realms, becoming the ultimate glory in your destiny."

The Nielong Ancestor did not seem to feel triumphant about its resurrection, nor did it feel any guilt for betraying the entire Nielong clan.

Its voice was so calm, as if this rebirth after countless eons and this betrayal spanning countless eons had never happened.

The Nielong Ancestor survived the betrayal of its entire clan so nonchalantly.

Upon hearing the Nielong Ancestor's words, the Corrupt Dragon King spat out a mouthful of blood. He laughed miserably and roared at the sky.

"Nielong Ancestor, you old beast, you have kept the entire Nielong clan from seeing the light of day for several kalpas! You have made countless Nielong live like ants, using your descendants to complete your resurrection!

You old wretch, you deserve to die a thousand deaths!"

The Corrupt Dragon King roared with blood in his mouth.

Not only him, but even the rest of the Nielong clan glared ferociously at the Nielong Ancestor, their eyes filled with a desire to tear it to pieces!

Within the Three Realms and Six Paths, only the Nielong clan had such filial descendants.

However, correspondingly, the Nielong clan did indeed have such a despicable ancestor.

The Nielong Ancestor, being stared at so intensely by the Nielong clan, simply smiled faintly, looking at the Corrupt Dragon King.

"Young one, when you were sacrificing the soul of this ancestor, sacrificing the entire Nielong clan, did you have such awareness?"

The Corrupt Dragon King gritted his teeth.

"I, the Corrupt Dragon King, am open and honest. I want to destroy the entire race, to make the entire Nielong clan extinct, because I don't want the tragedy of the Nielong clan to be repeated! What did I do wrong?

And you, using us for countless generations, and even making us your sacrifices! Shameless old thief, you deserve to be torn to pieces!"

The Nielong Ancestor shook its head dismissively.

"You are quite righteous, aren't you? Have you asked others? Are they willing to be made extinct by you?"

"Naive descendants, for any race to eke out an existence between heaven and earth is already a blessing from the heavens. You want to make the Nielong clan extinct. Isn't your sin of betrayal even greater than mine?"

The Corrupt Dragon King's eyes widened in anger.

"Is it greater than you making us innocent descendants bear countless years of sin, living like insects!?

The Nielong clan should be extinct!"

The Nielong Ancestor's eyes were filled with contempt and arrogance.

"Still too naive. The lives of the weak are never in their own hands. Do you think you have a choice? Your choice is just a part of fate."

The Corrupt Dragon King was so enraged that his heart was attacked by anger, and a mouthful of black blood spurted directly from his mouth, splattering on the ground.

Already half-dead, he was now heading towards the abyss of death.

If he had died earlier, at least the Corrupt Dragon King could have died with a smile on his face, but now, seeing the ancestor betray the entire race, sacrificing the entire race to revive himself, the Corrupt Dragon King was somewhat unwilling to die.

However, the Nielong Ancestor, although listening to the Corrupt Dragon King's roar, did not care at all.

Could the Nielong Ancestor be the kind of existence that cared about the life and death of its own clan?

The Divine Dragon clan? The Nielong clan?

To it, only itself was worthy of attention in this world; the others were just boring games.

At this moment, the Nielong Ancestor breathed in the air of the Three Realms and Six Paths, but shook its head in disappointment.

"The spiritual energy of this world is incomparably thin, too different from what it was in the past. If I want to restore my full strength, I'm afraid several kalpas won't be enough.

Fortunately, this ancestor prepared early. The Three Realms and Six Paths are just fleeting clouds; only the vast universe is eternal. Hmm… what aura is this?"

The Nielong Ancestor's expression gradually became serious. It suddenly turned its head to look at Xiao Qiong, its eyes filled with a hint of astonishment and fear.

"Zulong bloodline?! Didn't that old fellow Zulong die? You… no, this is the bloodline from the Zulong Pearl?! How can you possess the bloodline from the Zulong Pearl?!"

"When Zulong died in the past, its whereabouts were unknown, transforming into the Zulong Pearl, drifting into the Primordial World. This ancestor searched the entire Three Realms upside down, but did not see a trace. How can you possibly possess it…

You are still a dragon sub-species? A Primordial Dragon Whale? That's even more impossible. How can a dragon sub-species possess such supreme bloodline?! Strange, strange!"

The Nielong Ancestor stared intently at Xiao Qiong, its eyes filled with astonishment.

The Nielong Ancestor naturally feared and dreaded Zulong. After all, it had been hiding and evading back then, barely escaping Zulong's pursuit, surviving until Zulong's death before daring to come out.

However, the Nielong Ancestor was sure that the Zulong Pearl could not possibly appear in the Primordial World, let alone drift into the current Three Realms and Six Paths!

Back in the Primordial World, countless powerful individuals were searching for the Zulong Pearl. Even after so many years, after the Primordial World shattered into the Three Realms and Six Paths, countless powerful individuals have been searching, but have not found a single trace.

Under these circumstances, saying that one obtained the Zulong Pearl by chance is absolutely unconvincing. Even if Zulong himself hid his essence after death, it couldn't withstand so many years of searching by so many powerful individuals.

However, that was the strangeness of it all.

The Nielong Ancestor's expression became more sinister, staring intently at Xiao Qiong, its eyes filled with both greed and threat.

"How did you obtain the Zulong Pearl? The Zulong Pearl cannot possibly be within these Three Realms and Six Paths. Tell me the truth, and this ancestor will spare your dog life!"

Chu Hao frowned secretly. He had to say, the Nielong Ancestor's eyes were indeed sharp, knowing that the origin of the Zulong Pearl was not right.

Moreover, now the Nielong Ancestor seemed to have set its sights on Xiao Qiong's bloodline!
