"This... can't be necessary, right? My dragon clan is one of the three ancient clans, and we were the overlords back then!"

Ao Guang said in disbelief!
Ao Xuan sighed, stepped forward and patted Ao Guang on the shoulder: "You said it all, it was in the ancient times, back then!"

"But the current trend of the prehistoric world is in the Heavenly Palace!"

"Even after Ancestor Kunpeng was promoted to Primordial, he had to work in the Heavenly Court; the witch clan protected by Lady Pingxin also had to be split up... Now even the twelve witch ancestors have taken the initiative to leave the Gouchen Palace and work in other departments according to the laws they control."

"Why do you think it's a good thing for my dragon clan to occupy the water department position exclusively?"

"The general trend of the prehistoric world now is integration and cooperation! If our dragon clan still clings to the four seas and the job of controlling the clouds and rain... in the future, our dragon clan will definitely be the target of public criticism!"

"Dividing in advance and showing the attitude of our dragon race to the Heavenly Court is the best way to guide the dragon race forward! It is also the way to repay the Heavenly Emperor for repaying evil with kindness to our dragon race. Do you understand?"

Ao Xuan taught his own prince Ao Guang word by word... In his mind, the scene of himself going to the Heavenly Palace to congratulate Kunpeng for attaining the Dao of Hunyuan Banquet a few days ago emerged!

At that time, he presented a great gift to the ancestor Kunpeng... Kunpeng hugged his neck and said words that made his back cold even now!
"Ao Xuan, ancestor, I really envy you dragons... Look at my Beiming Palace. After joining the Heavenly Court, it was split up by His Majesty and divided into various departments. If you want to meet and reminisce, you have to make an appointment in advance, report to the Heavenly Court, and ask for leave..."

"Unlike you dragons, all of you are in one department, occupying all the official positions in the Water Department... If you want to get together, you Dragon King can call and we can gather in an instant... I'm so envious, so envious!"

"I, the ancestor, haven't had a good gathering with you kids for a long time! I really envy you!"

It was a simple sentence, as if he really envied them for being able to be together... But think about it, who is he Kunpeng? The new ancestor of Hunyuan, the guardian of the heavenly court!
What is offering sacrifice? It means facing the Emperor of Heaven without any need for ceremony! You can be equal to him!
With such status, how could Heaven not allow his former subordinates to gather together? Wouldn't that be a huge joke?

But it was obviously a joke, but he told Ao Xuan anyway... Do I need to figure out the reason behind it?
Even Kunpeng, if he wanted to gather with the children, had to report to the Heavenly Court... If his dragon clan wanted to gather, they only needed the Dragon King to say hello...

Does that mean that if Heaven wants to assign tasks in the future, it has to inform the Dragon King? If the Dragon King disagrees, Heaven can't make it rain? Or... as long as the Dragon King wants, he can make it rain anywhere in the prehistoric world without Heaven's consent?

Thinking further... Well, he was already sweating on his back and didn't dare to think any further!
In the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, Ao Guang is not stupid... After listening to his father's analysis, he instantly understood the situation of his own dragon clan.

"Father, you don't have to go there in person, right? We can just send a few dragon disciples to the Heavenly Palace. Why do you have to go there in person?"

Ao Guang was still a little unhappy and spoke.

"Either don't do it, or do it thoroughly. This fundamentally shows the attitude of my dragon clan. Don't you understand?"

Ao Xuan patted Ao Guang's shoulder vigorously: "It's just the right to make the clouds and rain. My dragon clan is no longer trapped in the four seas in the prehistoric world... A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise."

"After we leave, the future development of the Dragon Clan will depend on you."

"Father..."

Ao Guang showed his reluctance...

"Don't act like a child! In the future, you, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, must help each other... Remember, don't fight against the Heavenly Court, and concentrate on developing our dragon race."

"In the future, the dragon race may have a chance to reignite its glory!"

After saying this, the four Dragon Kings did not delay any longer. They handed over the Dragon Seals one after another, resigned from their posts as Dragon Kings, and rushed to the Heavenly Palace to take up their posts.

Throughout the whole process, from leaving office to the new Four Seas Dragon King ascending the throne... the Dragon Clan did not inform anyone! After leaving office, they only ordered Prime Minister Turtle to inform all the major water tribes, and they didn't even hold a banquet! ——
Soon, the Dragon King stepped down, and three years passed before the new Dragon King of the Four Seas ascended the throne.

"Father."

Ao Bing, the third son of Ao Guang and the current Third Prince of the East China Sea Dragon King, strode into the hall.

"They humans are too presumptuous!"

Ao Bing rushed to Ao Guang angrily, grabbed the tea in front of him and drank it all... As Ao Guang's newborn and youngest child, Ao Bing was the most loved by Ao Guang, and developed a somewhat arrogant and domineering personality!

Especially after Ao Guang ascended the throne as the Dragon King of the East China Sea, Ao Bing's momentum became more and more arrogant.

"What happened again to make our Third Prince so angry?"

Ao Guang lovingly poured Ao Bing more tea and asked with a loving smile.

"It's still the human race!"

Ao Bing snorted coldly and said, "My dragon clan controls the clouds and rains, which brings good weather and abundant harvests to the human territory... Logically speaking, the other human races should be grateful to us, right? The human races in other tribes have all offered statues of my dragon clan and offer sacrifices to them all the time."

"But, I just went to the Dragon Clan's ancestral land to collect some food and supplies, but I was scolded by a little girl! She said that I was just sitting there doing nothing and was not worthy of eating the offerings!"

Ao Bing said angrily, "I just drank too much yesterday and didn't notice an inch of rain falling. It wasn't intentional! It's because the houses of the Jiang clan were poorly built and were washed away. What does it have to do with me?"

"It's just a few people who died, and they were all old guys. Why does she dare to scold me?"

Ao Bing kept complaining, but he didn't know that Ao Guang, who had been smiling kindly just now, had turned extremely gloomy!

Especially when he said that only a few people would die, Ao Guang could no longer bear it. He stood up suddenly and slapped Ao Bing hard in the face!
"Snapped!"

"Father! You hit me?!"

Ao Bing covered his face in disbelief and roared at Ao Guang with red eyes!

There was a flash of pity in Ao Guang's eyes... Ao Bing was born less than a hundred years ago, and was born right after the dragon clan lifted the ban... Because he had personally participated in many wars, Ao Guang's karma was gone, and Ao Bing benefited and became the most talented of his three children!
For this reason, he had a little more expectations on Ao Bing and doted on him a lot... But he didn't expect that today, he would make such a big mistake!

"Where is Prime Minister Turtle?!"

Ao Guang roared, and Prime Minister Turtle, who came with Ao Bing, stepped into the hall helplessly and glanced at Ao Bing with some pity on the way.

"Subordinates, I pay my respects to the Dragon King!"

"Prime Minister Turtle! Do you know what my son has done?"

Ao Guang waved his hand, and the dragon-binding rope made by the dragon clan specifically for evil dragons flew out and tied up Ao Bing tightly... After the rope head was tied and his mouth was blocked, Ao Guang angrily asked Prime Minister Turtle.

"Replying to the Dragon King...I do know about the matter of the Third Prince."

"Since you knew that, why did you let him do what he wanted?"

Ao Guang roared: "Don't you know that we are following the will of the Emperor of Heaven when we make rain? If we rain one inch more, it will kill the people of the human race. This is dereliction of duty! Prime Minister Turtle, do you want to watch my East Sea Dragon Palace be destroyed?"

Ao Guang's roar echoed throughout the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.

Prime Minister Turtle remained silent... What could he say? Ao Bing is your most beloved child, and he has drunk too much. How dare I, a prime minister, stop him?

Of course, there was also a reason why Prime Minister Turtle didn't care too much... Just as Ao Bing said, isn't it just a few deaths? The human race has such a strong reproductive capacity, and the death of a few old people is just to help the dragon race clear the burden!
Seeing Prime Minister Turtle not really caring, Ao Guang felt aggrieved... Only three years had passed, and he had already forgotten his father's warning?
Or, since the Heavenly Court has never taken it into account or monitored anything, you really just assume he doesn't exist?

"Your Majesty the Dragon King,"

Seeing Ao Guang getting angrier and angrier, the atmosphere became more and more depressing... Prime Minister Turtle raised his head and said to Ao Guang: "You don't have to worry at all. At worst, we can give compensation to the human race..." "Shut up!"

Ao Guang was so angry that he shouted outside the palace gate: "Where are the guards?!"

"His Majesty!"

On both sides of the main hall gate of the Dragon Palace, two shrimp soldiers entered the hall and saluted Ao Guang.

"Immediately, immediately, take Ao Bing to the Undersea Prison! No one is allowed to release him without my order!"

"what?"

The shrimp soldiers were stunned and stood still, not reacting yet... After all, Ao Bing was Ao Guang's most beloved child! How dare they do it?
Seeing that the two shrimp soldiers did not take any action, Ao Guang grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it down!

"Snapped!"

It hit a shrimp soldier on the head and landed with a crisp sound: "What? I'm not the Dragon King anymore? My words don't count?"

"My subordinates dare not!"

The shrimp soldier was so scared that he immediately fell to his knees, trembling!

"I don't dare. Why don't you suppress him?!"

Ao Guang was furious! The two shrimp soldiers dared not delay any longer, and quickly dragged Ao Bing to the sea eye from the left and right! No matter how Ao Bing struggled, they had no intention of letting him go.

After the shrimp soldiers took Ao Bing away, Ao Guang looked at Prime Minister Turtle with a cold face.

"Prime Minister Turtle, you have served the Dragon King for three generations. How could you make such a huge mistake now?"

"I……"

Prime Minister Turtle looked ashamed... He just, just...

"Three years ago, you and I were here, and heard my father's instructions with your own ears. It was precisely because my father led the team to the Heavenly Palace three years ago that he gained the trust of the Heavenly Palace and did not monitor the tasks assigned by my dragon clan..."

"I thought you would remember your father's warning... I didn't expect that only three years later, you have already..."

Prime Minister Turtle lowered his head in shame, and in his mind he recalled the instructions given by Dragon King Ao Xuan in the Dragon Palace!

However, the Heavenly Court had not sent anyone to monitor for three years... and Ao Bing was Ao Guang's most beloved child, and he had watched him grow up, so he... just... relaxed...

There was no other way. He had watched Ao Bing grow up from a dragon egg until now, and Ao Bing was only less than 500 years old... so his elders' filter was a little deeper...

But they forget that the dragon race can live freely until now because they are sensible! Well, it started from the war between the witches and liches. They are sensible to stand on the right side!

"Humph!"

Ao Guang flicked his sleeves and walked out of the palace gate.

"Come on, follow me to the Heavenly Palace! Let's see if we can save that idiot Ao Bing! If not...you will stay with your father and never come back!"
-
Just as Ao Guang was leading Prime Minister Turtle to the Heavenly Palace to plead guilty... on the other side, two shrimp soldiers were escorting Ao Bing to the underwater prison!

"Woo! Ugh!"

Along the way, Ao Bing struggled frantically, making the two shrimp soldiers miserable... and Ao Bing's previous arrogance and domineering attitude, as well as his favor, also made the two shrimp soldiers dare not take any further actions against Ao Bing.

Seeing Ao Bing struggling harder and harder and his movements getting slower and slower... the two shrimp soldiers were helpless. They looked at each other and could only choose to untie the rope wrapped around Ao Bing's mouth first to hear what he wanted.

"Third Prince, please don't blame us... We are just two shrimp soldiers guarding the gate. It was ordered by Lord Dragon King."

"We will untie the rope from your mouth right now... Just tell me what you want, as long as we can do it."

As he spoke, the shrimp soldier took out the dragon-binding rope that was blocking Ao Bing's mouth...

"Bah! Bah! Bah! Asshole, let me go now!"

After finally freeing his mouth from the restraints and regaining the ability to speak, Ao Bing ordered the shrimp soldiers to let him go.

"We dare not accept it!"

The leading shrimp soldier waved his hands repeatedly, with a look of horror on his face: "The order was personally given by the Lord Dragon King..."

"Do you believe me or not, when I come out, I will let my father kill you?"

Ao Bing threatened with a fierce look in his eyes.

The two shrimp soldiers looked at each other... One of them held one side of Ao Bing and continued to walk towards the eye of the sea.

"Third Prince, please don't scare us... The one who gave the order is the Dragon King, and we don't want that either."

"If we let you go, the Dragon King will definitely kill us..."

"Aren't you afraid that I will come out and kill you?"

Ao Bing roared and threatened.

Threatening them repeatedly, not caring about their lives at all... The two shrimp soldiers were getting impatient. This guy, can't do anything except threaten? At least, you should give us a solution! If someone takes the blame, we won't offend you, right?
Besides, we are the shrimp soldiers guarding the Dragon Palace. Do you really think we are just random soldiers? Do you really think you are a big shot if you give us some face for the Dragon King?
"If you disobey the Dragon King's order, you will die. If you offend the Third Prince, you will also die..."

The shrimp soldier complained: "We're all going to die anyway, so why don't you send the Third Prince in first? That way, you can die later!"

"you dare!"

Ao Bing's eyes revealed fear and he roared fiercely!

"Whether you dare or not, it's all the Dragon King's order! Besides, we've already entered the underwater prison, and it's still unknown whether we can get out."

Seeing that Ao Bing was still going to talk nonsense, the two shrimp soldiers were too lazy to talk to this useless Third Prince anymore. They stuffed the end of the dragon-binding rope into Ao Bing's mouth!
"woo woo woo woo!"

Ao Bing struggled more and more frantically! But this time the two shrimp soldiers ignored him, one of them holding one side of the belt and forcibly taking her towards the prison...

Just when they were about to see the prison on the seabed... a beam of light suddenly fell, blocking the way of the two shrimps and the dragon! Looking closely, there was a woman and two men, dressed in cool clothes, and they were not good people at first glance!
"Who are you? How dare you block the way of my Dragon Palace personnel?"

One of the shrimp soldiers immediately let go of Ao Bing, picked up his weapon with both hands, and stared at the person in front of him.

"I am Amaterasu, and I have come here especially for the Third Prince Ao Bing!"

The leading woman bowed slightly in the direction of Ao Bing, her lips slightly parted, her voice soft and charming, full of pink temptation... (End of this chapter)
