[You immediately shout loudly, stopping the Demon Overlords’ rash actions.]

[The Executor smiles slightly and says, does this bottle of Five Great Ancient Dragon Blood Essence count as enough sincerity?]

[It seems worried that you do not know its value, and takes the initiative to explain the bottle in its hand…]

[There is no need to doubt the strength of the dragon race. In terms of physical strength alone, many demon races and star spirit races cannot compare to the dragon race.]

[Before the end of the second divine war, in other words, before Omniscient True Knowledge sealed the power of the ancient dragons, the six dragon progenitors were all terrifying existences at the level of true gods.]

[At that time, the six dragon races joined forces with human scholars, and no one knows how many star gods and Demon Gods they killed, how many star spirits and demons they slaughtered…]

[But the reason Omniscient True Knowledge is called an evil god is precisely because within its divinity lies the utmost evil.]

[After Omniscient True Knowledge achieved a pyrrhic victory in the second divine war, it knew that it would fall into a long slumber. This time, its slumber would be far longer than after the first divine war, so long that it did not even have confidence that it would awaken again.]

[Omniscient True Knowledge feared that after it fell asleep, the Servant of Knowledge would be unable to control the world. Thus, it sealed the power of the ancient dragons, causing the dragon progenitors who had once been heroes of the divine war, who had once reached the level of true gods, to become laughably weak demi-gods.]

[This is the pitiful fate of serving Omniscient True Knowledge. As of now, the remaining five dragon races have wisely betrayed their former master, voluntarily submitted to the Stars, and thrown themselves into the Stars’ embrace…]

[The Five Great Ancient Dragon Blood Essence in its hand was voluntarily contributed by the five dragon progenitors after they joined the Stars…]

[As for the only one missing from it, the Dark Hermit race…]

[More than twenty years ago, the Dark Hermit race had already secretly thrown itself into the Stars’ embrace, but that hateful Servant of Knowledge learned of it and sent down envoys to slaughter the entire Hermit race, not even sparing the old and decayed Hermit Progenitor…]

[The dignified Ancient Black Dragon of old, the Hermit Progenitor who had once stood at the level of a true god, actually died in obscurity in a dark corner, at the hands of the old master it had once trusted beyond compare. It truly leaves one with no choice but to sigh.]

[It is precisely because of this that, after learning of the matter, the remaining five dragon races took the initiative to seek the Stars’ protection and throw themselves into the Stars’ embrace, lest they become the next victims…]

[Although this bottle lacks the progenitor blood essence of the Dark Hermit race, this bottle of Five Great Ancient Dragon Blood Essence still holds immeasurable value.]

[So long as the Abyss revives and the Stars return to their proper place, and after Omniscient True Knowledge is killed, the sealed power of the ancient dragons can be released.]

[At that time, this bottle of blood essence will no longer be the blood essence of demi-gods, but true god blood essence of incalculable value!]

[If the Abyss Child still thinks that this bottle of true god blood essence is not sincere enough, then it is not that the Executor lacks sincerity, but that you, the Abyss Child, lack sincerity…]

The dragon progenitors possessed the strength of true gods?!

Lin Xun drew in a deep breath. This passage from the Executor contained no small amount of information, and within it were many critical clues.

He had previously learned from the Emerald half-dragon about the matter of the dragon race’s sealed power.

He had originally thought that before their power was sealed, the several dragon progenitors had at most only possessed pseudo god-level strength. He had not expected their true strength to actually have reached the eternal grade.

Thinking about it, that also seemed fairly reasonable. Based on the information learned in Chapter Four, the strength contributed by the various dragon races in the divine war had been tremendous. The Hermit Progenitor had even continuously given birth to offspring and continuously sent those offspring into the divine war.

If the several dragon progenitors themselves had possessed only demi-god or pseudo god-level power, then how could the offspring they gave birth to have been of any help to the Omniscient faction or to the situation of the divine war?

“Sealing the power of the ancient dragons… As long as Omniscient True Knowledge dies, can the seal be undone?”

Lin Xun’s little dragonkin Shell carried the Hermit lineage, which came from the Hermit Progenitor. The upper rank limit of its skills was Mythic+ Grade, which clearly meant it too had been affected by the power seal.

“No, a lot of what the Executor is saying is half true and half false, like that segment about the Hermit race.”

The Hermit race was a story arc Lin Xun had personally experienced. He naturally knew that the Hermit race had indeed betrayed, but it had been the descendants of the progenitor who betrayed. The true Hermit Progenitor had absolutely not been an Oathbreaker…

The last breath in which the Hermit Progenitor swore loyalty before dying had left an especially deep impression on him.

If Omniscient True Knowledge had really sealed the power of the ancient dragons merely for the laughable reason of killing the dog after the hare was caught, then the Hermit Progenitor could never have remained loyally devoted to Omniscient True Knowledge unto death.

Moreover, according to the information obtained from the Emerald half-dragon, before the second divine war, Omniscient True Knowledge had already made an agreement with the various ancient dragons regarding the matter of sealing their power after the war.

It was not at all as the Executor said, that it feared the six ancient dragons would rebel, nor was it because it feared that after falling asleep, the Servant of Knowledge would be unable to control the world.

There were many other falsehoods in the Executor’s words. For example, among the remaining five dragon races, only the Golden Lawgiver race had actively betrayed. The other dragon races had all been forcibly suppressed by the Stars.

At this very moment, the several great dragon races were imprisoned within teleportation paintings, confined inside the Polar Star Society headquarters…

The fact that the Executor could take out the Five Great Ancient Dragon Blood Essence proved that the information revealed by the Emerald half-dragon was basically true.

[…]

[You stare fixedly at the Five Great Ancient Dragon Blood Essence. No one knows that you carry the orthodox progenitor bloodline of the Dark Hermit race, which was exterminated more than twenty years ago!]

[If you can have the Knowledge-Seeking Primordial Hermit Shell consume this bottle of progenitor blood essence and make up for the missing Hermit blood essence, then perhaps you can break through the seal’s limitation and obtain the true power of the ancient dragons!]

[You smile slightly at the Executor and say sincerely that you have already felt its sincerity. When a guest displays sufficient sincerity, then the host should also show corresponding courtesy in how it treats the guest…]

[You decide to let the demon race participate in the third divine war!]

[The Executor lets out a long breath. At last, the alliance matter can now obtain the result it wanted.] 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

[The seven personal guard Demon Overlords also secretly let out a sigh of relief. The pressure brought by this Executor upon them is tremendously great. While you had been confronting the Executor head-on the whole time, the terrifying pressure released by the anger of this pseudo god had all been borne by the seven great Demon Overlords.]

[Now, seeing that you have agreed to let the demon race join the war, and having obtained what they wished for, they too relax their guard slightly, no longer having to continue bearing pressure at the level of a god.]

[The Executor tosses the glass bottle in its hand to one of the personal guard Demon Overlords. After it is inspected, it is then passed to you…]

[You obtain the Five Great Ancient Dragon Blood Essence (Mythic+ Grade Item)!]

[You take the glass bottle and carefully put it away…]

[In a rather pleased tone, the Executor says that since the Abyss Child has already agreed to the alliance matter, then you and it should establish an oath beneath the witness of the Abyss and the Stars…]

[Wait a moment!]

[The Executor is interrupted halfway through speaking by you, and it is somewhat unable to understand why.]

[You casually cross one leg and peel at the claw on your fingertip, continuing that you just promised to let the demon race participate in the third divine war, but never said that the two sides would form an alliance…]

[At your words, the Executor is stunned, then its face sinks like water, its expression turning icy to the extreme.]

[At this moment, it naturally already understands that you had just been playing it!]

[The terrifying pressure of its immortal realm… erupts in full!]
