Chapter 56 A fragile balance

[“I really am a dragon!”]

[Unable to bear your half-smile, half-smile expression, the exasperated Huang Long Zhenren began to prove that he was really a dragon. You just took it as a joke at first, but as you listened, your face gradually became surprised: This guy seems to be really something...]

[The so-called Four Seas True Dragons are divided into four colors: blue, red, white and black. The four colors correspond to the four elements of heaven and earth, wood, fire, gold and water, and also correspond to the four directions.]

[The color of wood is green, and it is located in the east, so the true dragon is the eastern green dragon. The color of fire is red, and it is located in the south, so the true dragon is the southern red dragon. The color of gold is white, and it is located in the west, so the true dragon is the western white dragon. The color of water is black, and it is located in the north, so the true dragon is the northern black dragon.]

[These are the basic common sense of the dragon race, you all know them. You also know that these four-colored true dragons are actually the noble bloodline passed down by the four sons of Zulong. After the dragon and phoenix catastrophe, only four of Zulong's sons survived, so they are called the orthodox dragon race.]

[Then what basis does Huang Long have to say that he is a dragon? ]

[“Because I can be considered the son of Zulong…”]

[Huang Long coughed, and in your shocked gaze, he unconsciously raised his head and chest, ready to accept the worship from the lower bloodline of the dragon clan.]

[But you pointed at him in shock: Zulong's son is the Taiyi Golden Immortal?! ]

【Huang Long: ……】

[No more chatting today! ]

[As Huang Long confided his frustration, you finally understood everything...]

[In the world’s impression, Zulong is a harem king with many concubines, so he has many children. But in fact, although Zulong did have a large harem, the ones he gave birth to were all mixed-blood alien dragons like the nine sons of the dragon, and they were not real dragons at all.]

[And there is only one true dragon in the world, Zulong, and he has no true dragon wife to give birth to a son for him, so the only way for these early innate gods to give birth to pure-blooded offspring is to split their own origins to independently breed individual lives.]

[The Ancestral Dragon placed the four groups of origins in the four seas respectively, and then used the energy of the four directions as a guide, thus forming the Four Seas True Dragons corresponding to the four directions, four colors, and four elements.]

[And here lies the problem. Heaven and earth clearly have five elements of five directions, but Zulong only has four true dragon sons, missing a son that corresponds to the earth element of Zhongzhou...]

[Huang Long recalled leisurely, in fact, Zulong also thought so back then, how nice it would be if the five elements could make up a whole number? But the Qilin tribe occupying Zhongzhou thought it was not possible! ]

[So, this became a regret for Zulong. It was not until the end of the three-tribe war that Zulong saw the opportunity and secretly threw a piece of origin to Qilin Cliff, where the earth energy was the strongest...]

[And this source is him, Master Huanglong! ]

[But the bad luck also lies here. Huang Long was born in the territory of the enemy Qilin tribe, and the fight between the three parties was at a white-hot stage. It is conceivable that it would be a devastating start. ]

[The key point is that Zulong gave birth to him but didn't love him. He just wanted to collect stamps, so he never cared about him at all.]

[The Qilin tribe naturally took their anger out on him every day, so Huang Long in his childhood felt like he was being held hostage by Qin Shi Huang in the State of Zhao in his early years. In this situation, he could forget about cultivation, and was lucky to be alive.]

[Later, the three tribes withdrew and Hongjun began to preach. Yuqing Daoist, who was Hongjun's disciple, accidentally discovered this unlucky fellow. Considering that he was the son of the old antique Zulong, he was delighted to see the prey and took him as his disciple...]

[After listening to Huang Long's bitter tears, you can't help but feel the same way. The two of them were arm in arm, feeling sorry for not meeting each other earlier, and they chatted passionately! ]

[The Taoist Duobao standing by was so angry when he saw this: Lao Deng! Your essay is really well written...]

[After successfully establishing a relationship, Huang Long Zhenren, who was still dropping pearls just now, finally revealed his true intentions: Chief, how do you see my position as deputy chief? ]

[You smiled slightly and asked someone to take him to join the team. You chose the most difficult tribe! As a relative of the chief, you must set an example.]

[Huang Long: ...It seems my emotional card was in vain!] [Huang Long left the chief's room with a depressed look on his face. Now only Duobao Taoist was left.]

【When Taoist Duobao saw you looking at him, he was shocked: Senior Brother! I am a senior technician in the weapon training field. It would be a waste for me to go to the grassroots level!】

[You thought about it and it was right, so you appointed him as the chief professor of human refining on the spot, responsible for training high-level talents in human refining. Duobao, who had the corresponding expertise, happily accepted the order and left.]

[And only then can you think about the future quietly by yourself...]

[Since Emperor Jun cannot open his Dharma Eye, he only has two indicators to judge the identity of the human race's protagonist. One is the human race's diplomatic inclination, and the other is the saint's disciple who came here to smell the scent.]

[Now, after your micro-manipulation, both indicators have failed, which means that under normal circumstances, Di Jun cannot discover the identity of the human race. ]

[As long as this state can be maintained, the human race will be able to truly coexist with the demon race for a long time and make progress together. This is the most significant achievement you have made since your third life was restarted! ]

[As for whether humans can still coexist with demons in the more distant future... you don't know, and neither do the saints.]

[But think about it, as long as people with ideals continue to occupy the mainstream position of the human race in the future, there will definitely be hope. Even if you go astray occasionally, you will definitely get back on track.]

[You sometimes think that the human race is the protagonist destined by heaven after all, and is recognized by heaven as the best of the demons. No matter how you look at it, the human race should ride on the heads of the vast majority of demons and act tyrannically. However, your own behavior against heaven is going to force them to come down to earth...]

[Not only is it against heaven, it is also against human beings. With the development of the future, more and more people in the human race will "awaken": Why should they be equal to a group of untouchables? Monsters and humans are originally two classes! ]

[My behavior is no less than forcing a beast to eat grass. Therefore, my reputation among humans will gradually decline in the future... Perhaps one day, the "awakened" humans will personally knock the only sun that led them out of the desperate situation of their birth off the altar...]

【And who will remember themselves forever? 】

【Ask yourself.】

[An answer is ready to come out: "Demon Tribe"! ]

[Yes, after all, I am a human chieftain who was born into the demon race. The reason why I have traveled for three lifetimes is that I am for the demon race. I helped the human race only because I felt pity for their early experiences. More importantly, I didn’t want to see the demon race being slaughtered and oppressed by humans.]

[“The demon race is my root…”]

[You suddenly want to laugh at yourself. A great chieftain of the human race, but always thinking about the demon race, you are simply the number one traitor! ]

[Besides, will the demon race definitely thank me? ]

[Perhaps in the future when the human race completely suppresses the demon race, while the human race spurns you as a "human traitor", the demon people will also call you a "demon traitor", because it was you who supported the human race, the demon above the demon, and made them truly capable of oppressing the demon race...]

[“I am neither a demon nor a human… In the end, I am caught between the two.”]

[You are filled with emotion, but the faith in your heart remains unchanged. ]

[Sometimes, you have to do something from beginning to end, even if it is difficult, even if it is a dead end, even if no one understands and supports you, you have to bite the bullet and go on, because not doing so will only lead to worse consequences.]

[Just like in the previous life, you choose a path to go all the way, but you no longer completely favor one side, but choose a balanced path between the two extremes, even if it is extremely fragile, even if it has no way out. ]

[Just like the countless choices you made in your three lives, you didn’t have much room for choice…]
