Chapter 154 The ultimate boss!

Zulong died in a glorious yet extremely cowardly way.

It is said to be spectacular because it was the first to break through the peak of Daluo and became the de facto strongest person in the prehistoric world.

Moreover, he fought one against three, and it took Zulong five full periods of time to defeat Jiao Ming, Hongjun and Zufeng. With such a record, Zulong could boast about it to everyone!
The reason why it is said to be extremely cowardly is that it was suppressed by Jiao Ming in the Crystal Palace and had no chance to turn over. It could only open the harem in frustration and rage to vent its grievances.

After that, he finally cultivated to the peak of Daluo and became the de facto strongest person in the prehistoric world. He should have officially entered the exciting plot of "Long Aotian", but before he could stabilize his realm, he fell at the hands of Jiao Ming and the other two!

The strongest man in the prehistoric world was a coward before his death and he is still a coward after his death...

Jiao Ming watched Qinglong take away Zulong's corpse in hatred and sadness. He had no intention of eradicating the problem completely, nor was he willing to argue in front of the other person's son why his father deserved to die.

"Zulong is not innocent."

Zu Feng noticed Jiao Ming's complicated state of mind, so she comforted him softly.

"I know."

Jiao Ming closed his eyes:

If the Ancestral Qilin was forcibly sacrificed before he had the chance to commit a crime, then the Ancestral Dragon got what he deserved.

Even if someone was plotting against it, it was not clean, because the massacre of the Qilin clan was no secret, and Zulong must have known that someone was using this to harm him.

Its best choice should be to resist firmly as soon as the massacre occurs, both to safeguard the safety of the dragon clan and to take the initiative to prove its innocence to Jiao Ming.

But unfortunately, Zulong knew very well what the consequences of all this would be, but he still indulged in the slaughter until he broke through the peak of Daluo.

This only shows that it is restless and has a desire to turn the tables by reaching its limit of power:

From the beginning to the end, Zulong was unwilling to be suppressed by Jiao Ming. Its nature never changed. In order to achieve enlightenment, it could kill its big brother Zu Qilin, or it could turn a deaf ear and dumb and condone the slaughter.

Perhaps all this was not a fault in the eyes of its son Qinglong, but in the view of Jiao Ming, who was dedicated to maintaining the stability of the prehistoric world, it had already been doomed to die!
If we let it go this time, then after Zulong has calmed down enough, it will definitely kill all those who are its enemies. Neither Jiao Ming nor Hongjun will be able to escape. Zufeng may become its tool for achieving enlightenment, and be forced to awaken the Lingfeng clan, starting a war between the two clans...

In short, Zulong's death was what he asked for, and it is also in the interests of everyone.

Even this way of death is in line with the promise it made to Jiao Ming:

If it intends to harm Jiao Ming in the future, it is willing to be burned to death by the sun!

And Jiao Ming, who possesses the Golden Crow True Fire, is not much different from the sun in a sense...

As for Qinglong, if he insisted on thinking that his father was innocent and then hated Jiao Ming, Jiao Ming would not wipe out the entire thing.

He didn't care about any enemies. As long as the Azure Dragon didn't really endanger everyone's lives, Jiao Ming could tolerate its existence...

After a moment of silence, the three left.

Only the dragon's blood was left, rippling with the blue waves, dyeing the coast of the East China Sea.

……

[Zu Long has fallen, two of the three ancestors are gone, and only Zu Feng is left. 】

[Your plan was two-thirds successful... No, you have actually succeeded. Without the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Kirin fighting each other, the probability of Ancestral Phoenix achieving enlightenment is infinitely close to zero. As long as you take good care of her, she won't cause any trouble.]

[The problem of the three-race war that has troubled you for two lifetimes has been solved, and it is a complete solution! ]

[Without the war between the three tribes, Hongjun would not have to sacrifice so many lives to stop the war. ]

[In this way, the perfect freedom you desire has truly arrived...]

[However, you still have a big question: Who is the person behind the plot? ]

[This question is both simple and complex, because there are not many people in the world who have the ability and motivation to carry out this calculation, and they all happen to be around you. ]

[Hongjun? Zufeng?]

[With such doubts in mind, you approached them one by one...]

[“Fellow Daoist, please tell me directly. Is it you?”]

[You get straight to the point and ask in a dull tone.]

[Hongjun was stunned at the time, and then waved his hands repeatedly: How could it be me? Daoist friend, you know I am a good person! ]

[Good guy?]

[You can't help but think of the vicious Luohou in the previous two lives... It's a bit ridiculous for Hongjun to say that he is a good person. ]

【“I know your plan for enlightenment.”】

[You don’t want to play dumb with him, so you say directly: “Now that the Ancestral Dragon is dead, there are countless dragon spirits enlightened by it in the world. If you take the opportunity to slaughter them again, the billions of true spirits will be ownerless, and your indirect method of enlightenment…”]

[Hongjun raised his eyebrows: Is my image in your eyes so bad?] [Hongjun, stimulated by your suspicion, said righteously: Although I really want to become a Taoist, becoming a Taoist is never my goal, but only a way to achieve my goal.]

[What is the purpose of Hongjun's enlightenment? ]

【"Peace!"】

[Hongjun said in a deep voice: My purpose of becoming a Taoist has always been to bring peace to the wilderness and enable all living beings to live and work in peace and contentment. Now that my purpose has been achieved, why should I force myself to become a Taoist?]

[Fellow Daoist! You don’t know me at all! I, Hongjun, am clearly a very good person! ]

[Faced with Hongjun's righteous speech, even if you have doubts in your heart, it is not good to show them. After all, excessive doubts can easily hurt people's hearts...]

[After leaving Hongjun, you found Zufeng again. ]

[Facing Zu Feng, you hesitated for a moment, thinking that you couldn’t ask too directly and that you should carefully consider your words…]

[But Zu Feng saw through your thoughts, so before you could open your mouth, she sighed and said: I don’t need to. ]

[She said self-deprecatingly: Our three ancestors have known each other since time immemorial, and it was only the three of us who could achieve enlightenment. If I really wanted to achieve enlightenment on my own, I should have gone to enlighten the Phoenix Clan long ago, instead of sitting on Yujing Mountain and watching the Dragon Clan spread all over the wilderness.]

[Moreover, if I intend to achieve enlightenment on my own, I will definitely end up like Zulong...]

[Zu Feng looked at you with complicated eyes, which made you shudder in your heart: Indeed, you killed two of her old friends in a row, and there is only one of the Three Ancestors left. In terms of absolute strength, she has no chance of backstabbing. ]

[Zu Feng is not a fool. In this situation, she can't repeat Zu Long's mistakes. In other words, if she wants to achieve enlightenment, the best way is to enlighten the Phoenix Clan and Zu Long to kill each other.]

[And now that the Second Ancestor is dead, her chance to attain enlightenment has also disappeared...]

【…】

[Now, you have no choice but to sit alone under the old tree on the top of Yujing Mountain and think about the consequences quietly.]

[“Hongjun speaks righteously and sternly, and Zufeng also proves his innocence…”]

[You are somewhat puzzled: Since both of them have their own stories, who created those Qilin tribes? And why did that person want to kill Zulong? ]

[Could it be that Zulong was too arrogant in the past, so he offended a certain mysterious person, but that person couldn't beat Zulong, so he had to take the opportunity to frame him for revenge? ]

[The more you think about it, the more outrageous it seems. You can only shake your head and throw these weird thoughts out of your mind...]

[No matter what, the matter has passed, and the time bomb of Zulong has been forcibly dismantled. With your care, there will be no more natural disasters or man-made disasters caused by those who intend to achieve enlightenment in the prehistoric world! ]

[You have this confidence even though you are stuck at both the Quasi-Saint and Saint realms.]

[This is indeed the case. Time passes slowly, one epoch after another passes... but the ambitious person who wants to destroy peace still hasn't appeared. ]

[But the chaos in the world often does not require any professional behind-the-scenes ambitious people to carefully plan. While you are focusing on a group of natural saints, a chaos originating from the vast majority of dragon spirits is gradually intensifying! ]

[In a certain period, a certain meeting, a certain destiny, a chaotic war broke out among the dragons of the Eastern Wasteland. The two feudal states fought for territory and resources, with countless casualties! ]

[In a rage, you beheaded the two dragon kings in public and hung their heads outside Yujing Mountain! ]

[During a certain period, a certain meeting, a certain destiny, a chaotic war broke out among the dragon tribes of Zhongzhou, and several major feudal states fought fiercely over the ownership of the Sky-Supporting Mountain! ]

[You decisively attacked again, burning all the participating dragon kings to charred corpses, and your fierce power shocked the Zhongzhou dragon clan! ]

[In a certain period, a certain meeting, a certain destiny, a chaotic war broke out among the dragon tribes of the Southern Wasteland...]

[Small wars escalate into big wars, and big wars escalate into chaos. After the death of Zulong, the prehistoric dragons are leaderless. For their own interests, wars are imminent! ]

[This time, the war is no longer started by an ambitious person. You have great magical power, but you can't find a specific target to attack. If you must attack...]

[Then, from the four seas to the four wastelands and then to Zhongzhou, the entire universe is your enemy! ]

[You have killed the Dragon King who started the war again and again, with methods that are more cruel each time, trying to stop this endless war with your own violence.]

[But things went against your wishes. You killed the old Dragon King, but the new Dragon King continued to fight. Your efforts to stop him were useless. Instead, your reputation became closer to that of a tyrannical demon, causing all living beings to be terrified and... resentful!]

[You are against war and slavery, but you have no talent for governing a country. You can only hope that everyone will live in a small country with few people forever. Any expansionist behavior will be attacked by you.]

[However, as the population increases, resources are limited. Social development is inherently accompanied by war and plunder. Limited resources cannot support nearly unlimited population growth.]

[In other words, the more you try to stop wars, the more fierce future wars will be. Your repeated repressive measures will only backfire and hinder the development of society!]

[Your existence has caused resistance from all levels of the universe, and you have become the focal point of all contradictions...]

[After gradually realizing this problem, you begin to doubt whether your pursuit is justified. You have never thought about everything now. ]

[You, who are dedicated to maintaining peace and tranquility, have not encountered another powerful enemy that harms all living things after the Three Ancestors, because you are the ultimate boss in front of all living things in the prehistoric world! ]
