Chapter 612: Chapter 486: What are you going to do?

The conversation at this point had grown startling. No one in this world had ever considered such a thing. Even in war, the ultimate goal is conquer. Even for Yake, his aim was naturally to conquer and to acquire.

Yet, Long Yi wanted nothing. He only sought to obliterate the Black Dragon Empire!

Yake could feel a twitch in his eye sockets - this was something that even he, in all his madness, had never considered before!

Yet Long Yi not only thought about it, but also intended to make it happen!

"I await you to take my life!" Yake said sternly, "Yet, Long Yi, if you fail, I will not kill you. I would imprison you in my finest specimen cabinet. I will let you watch with your own eyes as I capture each and every one you care for, torturing them, turning them into my slaves! I will make them wish for death but to no avail!"

At the close of today’s competition, everyone present had an indescribable feeling. Was it the feeling of insignificance faced with such formidable power or was it fear?

No one could find the words to describe, only the small countries trapped between the two great empires knew the consequence. No matter who won tomorrow’s final battle, the conflict between the two empires would intensify, making life even more difficult for the smaller nations entrapped between them.

Naturally, some small nations were paying close attention to tomorrow’s match result. The bipolar world was unstoppable. Choosing not to join either side could only spell trouble for them.

On the way back to their lodgings, everyone in the White Dragon Empire was silent. The shock Long Yi had given them was too great; they were still immersed in the awe-inspiring battle that had just unfolded. Ais, on the other hand, was frowning the entire time. Finally, unable to hold it in any longer, he spoke up just before they parted ways.

"Long Yi, I don’t agree with what you said." Ais stated.

"Second brother? What did I say?" Long Yi asked, perplexed.

"You mentioned summoning the Dragon Clan, rendering the Black Dragon Empire barren for ten thousand years." Ais replied.

"Ah, that. It was just a spur of the moment thing, meant to intimidate the enemy. Don’t worry about it." Long Yi said lightly.

"Just a spur of the moment?" Ais was skeptical. He believed Long Yi was someone who would follow through with his words.

"Of course, it was. Do I look like a murderous Demon King to you?" Long Yi asked back.

"Indeed." said Ais, sincerely.

Yet, those girls who had a covenant with Long Yi knew, when he said those words, he most definitely meant it. He truly pictured the complete annihilation of the Black Dragon Empire, exterminating every seed of hatred. But now, obviously due to a remission in his anger, he thought such actions inappropriate.

"Well, even if I were a murderous Demon King, I wouldn’t go to the Dragon Clan for help." Long Yi patted Ais’s shoulder.

"Why not?" Ais was again confused.

"Because the Dragon Clan would never agree." Long Yi answered cryptically.

The Dragon Clan sought to keep the world in upheaval in an attempt to maintain the connection between humans and the Dragon Clan, hoping to use it as a means to restoring their previous power. Therefore, the Dragon Clan would never allow for a world with only one powerful White Dragon Empire. If Long Yi attempts to destroy the Black Dragon Empire, then the White Dragon Empire would inevitably follow suit!

Unless... unless the world no longer needed to be in upheaval for the Clan.

Then, what if the Dragon Clan realized they could be restored?

By this time, Xiaoyou had completely regained the Dragon Clan’s power. However, Long Yi did not want him to enter the battle, for he had serious concerns.

Once the Dragon Clan realized that Long Yi had the key to restoring the Dragon Clan’s power, wouldn’t he risk having to confront the entire Dragon Clan ravaged by war? Would the Clan maintain peace just to eventually regain the power of the dragons?

Being unsure of the thoughts of the elder dragons, Long Yi felt at a loss while making any decisions.

As the battle had ended quickly, it was only midday. Although food was provided here, Little Zi did not trust it and insisted on cooking herself.

Just after the end of the battle, Ai Lin, Suolin and Ruosha were all exhausted. After a hurried bath, they fell asleep on the bed. Long Yi sat by the bed, Bajie lay on the ground while Xiaoyou lay on Bajie.

At that moment, Long Yi was constantly debating whether to send Xiaoyou to fight in tomorrow’s battle.

Facing Yake, sending Xiaoyou, with the full power of the Dragon Clan to fight, would indeed be the best choice. But what would the Dragon clan think?

Just then, an unknown palpitation came from outside, followed by a gentle knock on the door.

Long Yi went to open the door and was surprised to see the Dragon Clan Chairman - Asus standing outside.

"Hello." Long Yi nodded at Asus.

"Do you have time for a chat?" Asus asked.

Long Yi nodded, walked outside, closed the door, and then stepped into the neighboring room with Asus.

"What is your plan for tomorrow’s final match?" In front of the window, Asus turned to look at Long Yi and asked.

"I plan to win," Long Yi said with a smile. Honestly, he had never even considered the possibility of losing.

"No, I mean, are you really planning to have the Dragon Clan conquer the entire Black Dragon Empire for you?" Asus asked.

"That was just a bluff to scare that fool Yake. I think, even if I really asked that, you wouldn’t simply do it," Long Yi said with a smile.

"That’s good to hear! That’s good to hear!" Asus was relieved, "If you really asked for that, Gulelie would definitely kill all of you on Dragon Island!"

"Is that so?" Long Yi raised an eyebrow, looking unconvinced.

"Gulelie has always been a conservative member of the council, advocating to seek Dragon Clan’s power through world turmoil. He would do anything to achieve this. Although most of the Dragon Clan are tired of constantly dying and being reborn due to human conflicts, nobody can say no to Gulelie without a better solution," Asus said with a sigh. Due to Long Yi being a Giant, Asus’s inherent liking for Giants allowed him to trust Long Yi, hence he was able to have this conversation with him.

"A better solution?" Long Yi laughed.

Seeing Long Yi’s smile, something stirred within Asus.

"Excuse me, Mr. Long Yi, we’ve found that Miss Suolin seems to be able to use Fighting Aura while in dragon form. Could it be that you..." Asus phrased his question delicately, as he didn’t know how to broach the topic. After all, Long Yi was a Giant, and the Dragon Clan’s curse was originally inflicted by the Giants. Should he ask outright, would that mean demanding the Giants lift the curse themselves?

Long Yi nodded and said, "I haven’t mastered all the knowledge yet, and my power is not sufficient to lift the curse. However, I can confirm one thing: I can temporarily remove parts of the curse."

Lift the curse!

Those four words made Asus weep with joy. For many years, the Dragon Clan had been dying and being reborn in their quest to lift the curse! But today was the first time someone confidently told him that the curse could be lifted!

At this point, Asus completely ignored the conditions Long Yi had placed before the phrase ’lift the curse’. To him, the ability to lift the curse was already an incredibly perfect thing. Who cares if it’s not complete? Or permanent? Some of the Dragon Clan even said that as long as the curse could be lifted, even for a moment, they would willingly die the next instant!

"May I ask, is it Bajie or Xiaoyou now?" Asus’s voice was shaking.

"Xiaoyou," Long Yi said.

"Can I see her?"

"Right now?"

"No, no, no! Not now!" Asus quickly waved his hands, although he was anxious, he knew that the timing was not right.

"You’ll see everything in tomorrow’s final battle," Long Yi said.

"Tomorrow?" Asus contemplated for a while, then his eyes brightened. "Understood! If all goes well, the Rebalance Plan will surely end!"

Asus hurriedly came and hurriedly left. Compared to the heavy mood he had when he arrived, he now felt as if he was about to ascend from sheer excitement. Could it be that the curse that has lasted for thousands of years is finally going to end at this moment!

At this moment, Long Yi felt somewhat relieved too. After all, he had been worried about how the Dragon Clan’s so-called Rebalance Plan would affect him and the White Dragon Empire. But now, it seemed like things were taking a turn for the better. So, he just needed to focus on dealing with Yake.

It appeared that Yake’s most astonishing ability was his unfettered control over powers beyond the limit. While Long Yi hadn’t personally confronted Yake, he could tell how formidable this bastard was from Ai Lin, Suolin and Ruosha’s performance. Just the fact that Ruosha’s two assertive attacks couldn’t inflict a fatal wound on Yake was enough to show that Yake was not to be underestimated at this point.

Although Long Yi always looked down on Yake, he didn’t underestimate this opponent at all. Instead, he had already regarded Yake as an unprecedented enemy to reckon with.

He had to admit, Long Yi felt somewhat nervous.

What to do when nervous?

There was only one way to overcome nerves in this world.

"Bajie! Come, let’s get you some fun stuff!"

Long Yi said cheerfully.

As a Demon Abyss Dragon, Bajie was also cursed. Upon examination, Bajie’s companion mitochondria was still found to be withered. But with the experience from the first time, this time was much easier.

However, Bajie was too huge of a size. Fortunately, this room originally belonged to a Giant. Although it wasn’t spacious enough, it could still accommodate Bajie’s curled up position uncomfortably.

After drawing some blood from Bajie, Long Yi used his power as a Giant to create a life chain potion with the Giant’s scepter.

When the potion was injected into Bajie’s body, Bajie distinctly felt the subtle but unstoppable changes.

"Bro... No, I should call you sis. Not sure how much you can achieve by tomorrow, but in any case, do your best!"

Bajie nodded, patting Long Yi’s shoulder and gave him a ’leave it to me’ expression. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com and vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
