Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1134 - 904: Help!

"Bang!"

A solid blow landed on Elder Dragon Zhou Jian, who instantly couldn’t even let out a cry of pain. His entire dragon form immediately appeared, lying on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Master, you hit him, so you can’t hit me now, right?" Yan Xuan exclaimed in fright. Instantly, he rolled to the ground, his body shrank smaller and obediently hid in the corner, not daring to breathe heavily.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan shook his head and laughed, "You haven’t done anything wrong, so why should I hit you? Besides, hitting him is not a punishment. Everyone has their own aspirations. If he doesn’t wish to fulfill the responsibilities of a Divine Beast to save the world and desires freedom, that’s not wrong. But the Cyan Dragon Divine Power must be returned.

If he doesn’t do it, there are other destined Demon Cultivators and Demon Beasts willing to undertake it.

The Wilderness World can’t continue to sink like this. The sooner the Four Symbols Divine Beasts ascend, the sooner this world will truly be saved, allowing the billions of living beings to live better lives."

As he spoke, tiny spots of cyan-green light began to appear from the tail of the Elder Dragon.

Zhou Jian could feel the piercing pain, as if he was being cut by a thousand knives, yet he couldn’t make a sound. His body was immobilized, and he could only silently endure a pain he had never experienced before in his life.

The small spots of cyan-green light grew brighter and floated from the dragon’s tail to its head, enlarging with each inch they moved forward.

Until countless dazzling green lights swarmed out from the forehead, the Elder Dragon almost fainted from the unbearable pain. His body was drenched in sweat, yet he couldn’t even open his mouth.

[Special Mission: Cyan Dragon]

[Mission 2: Confirm that Elder Dragon Zhou Jian is unwilling to undertake the Cyan Dragon responsibilities. You may use the special item: God Striking Whip to extract the Cyan Dragon Divine Power from his body, completed. Reward: Divinity +5 issued]

[Mission 3: Find a Demon Cultivator or Demon Beast willing to become a Cyan Dragon and have them refine the Cyan Dragon Divine Power. Reward: Divinity +20]

[Cyan Dragon Divine Power: After the fall of the Four Symbols Divine Beast Cyan Dragon, the divine power scattered between heaven and earth. Find someone willing to bear the Cyan Dragon’s responsibilities and have them refine the power to complete corresponding trial tasks, thus ascending as the Divine Beast Cyan Dragon]

The deep green orb of power, condensed to the size of a fist and filled with vast and mysterious energy, fell into the palm.

Jiang Yuan put it away and cupped his hands toward the Elder Dragon, saying, "The purpose of my coming today is to discuss the matter of the Cyan Dragon’s ascension.

Since you choose freedom, I will take the Cyan Dragon Divine Power away, so you will no longer be burdened by the shackles of duties bestowed by heaven and earth.

I befriended you before, not out of deception, nor was I pretending to be kind. If you hadn’t been poisoned and inadvertently taken Miss Chan Yu into the Underground Palace, I wouldn’t have needed to come here seeking her.

Senior Xuanyuan first encountered the Vermilion Bird, which led him to seek the reincarnation of the Cyan Dragon and have conflicts with you.

Now, I’ll just complete what he couldn’t, all for the sake of salvation. As for your bias against the Human Race, it’s baseless. Even when you disguised and deceived Senior Lin Yao, you weren’t exactly upright either."

He looked at Yan Xuan and said solemnly, "Additionally, Yan Xuan only acknowledges me as his master, not my slave. The contract between us is based on mutual respect, I never order him around, and he never makes things difficult for me.

Without understanding the situation, you mocked Yan Xuan, not realizing he understands the weight of responsibility more than you do.

Favor from the Heavenly Dao should not be hoarded just for personal enjoyment. When the Wilderness World falls into ruin, would you have the whole world buried with your irresponsibility?

Born in the mundane world, you can’t have it all. Everything in this world comes at a price. You can’t take all the benefits without any return. I’ve taken the Cyan Dragon Divine Power, focus on healing. Yan Xuan, let’s go."

One man and one beast headed through the wide tunnel directly to the surface, leaving the nearly comatose Elder Dragon curled up in the depths of the Underground Palace, trembling slightly.

"Master, if I had chosen to give up ascending, would it be the same outcome?" Yan Xuan followed at his heels, looking back at the drained, aged Elder Dragon weakened significantly after losing his divine power, asking quietly.

Jiang Yuan sighed deeply, "That power is inborn and linked with responsibility. You can’t monopolize it without accepting the responsibilities, forcibly extracting it is... well, terribly tragic, it must hurt unbelievably."

Yan Xuan shrank his neck, thinking to himself that this unappreciative Elder Dragon lost the Cyan Dragon Divine Power, and also the blessing of Heaven and Earth, now heavily wounded, he wondered if he could still cultivate smoothly once he recovered.

Until they teleported back to the small courtyard, he was curious about the fate of Elder Dragon Zhou Jian after losing the Heavenly Dao’s favor. He pondered about finding out when he had time, to mock and taunt him in return, for satisfaction.

The start was unfavorable, Jiang Yuan felt a bit downhearted, the plan to keep two dragons in the small courtyard evaporated so quickly.

But then he thought, if you won’t do it, others will!

At least the Cyan Dragon Divine Power in hand could be tried out by Xiao Bai—when resurrecting him, he had specifically changed his spirit roots to water and wood dual attributes, which would be suitable, wouldn’t it?

So he’d wait for Xiao Bai to emerge from seclusion, and by that time he would cultivate him into the new Divine Beast Cyan Dragon, thus keeping it within the family!

"Where should I find Shi Hu?" Jiang Yuan wondered silently.

If he also sought freedom and wasn’t willing to ascend as the White Tiger, would he have to use the God Striking Whip again, then find a tiger-type Demon Beast or Demon Cultivator willing to undertake it?

Reflecting on it, among the members of the small courtyard, including various guests like Fox Demon, Bear Demon, eagles, and monkeys, there really were no tigers.

Still, when visiting Miss Qi, he had encountered a fellow named Jun Yan, seemingly a Nightmare Tiger Demon, and he got along well with Shi Hu...
