All heavens, the destiny that begins with the path of martial arts

Xiao, who had regained consciousness, gently hugged Luo Luo and reached out to touch Jingjing's head.

Helplessness and regret filled Xiao's heart, and self-blame and confusion made him at a loss.

"Just wake up"

The Golden Claw God didn't say anything, but just smiled with relief as he looked at the owl that had woken up.

"General...you..."

Xiao naturally also saw the changes in the Golden Claw God. He was stunned and felt great self-blame and regret.

He knew better than anyone how painful it was to become a cannibal.

Moreover, it was all caused by him...

“Nothing, it has no effect on me.”

The Golden Claw God smiled faintly. It was nothing more than the loss of the sense of pain and the removal of the physical limitations.

As for losing control?

As long as Xiao is fine, he won't lose control.

"Okay, stop frowning all day. You've been here for so long, haven't you adapted to the rules here?"

Zhu Jiuyao couldn't stand Xiao's kind-hearted appearance, as he was indecisive and cowardly.

"I, I am a human being..."

Xiao still wanted to refute Zhu Jiuyao, but his tone gradually weakened when he looked into his optical mirror.

"You mean you still want to use your morality and order to fit in here?"

"How many years have you been there? How many years have you been here? If you don't follow the rules here, you're doomed."

"Morality? Justice? Can it keep you alive on the battlefield? If you show mercy to the enemy, will they let you go?"

"Don't let your imagination run wild, Black Dragon. If you want to live, then follow the rules here."

Zhu Jiuyao sneered, every word was heart-piercing, and his indifferent tone pierced deeply into Xiao's heart.

"I……"

Xiao's body trembled, and he lowered his head and hugged Luo Luo tightly.

"..."

When Zhu Jiuyao saw Xiao's look, he stopped mocking him and returned to his indifferent look.

"I am already old, and the future world is destined to be ruled by you young people"

Zhu Jiuyao was silent for a while before he spoke slowly.

???

Getting old? ?

who? ?

you????

Do you want to look at what you are talking about?

Everyone listened to Zhu Jiuyao's powerful voice and fell into deep thought.

MD! Even if we die of old age, you can't die of old age!

Everyone glanced at Zhu Jiuyao and could only shout and get angry in their hearts, they didn't dare to say it out loud.

"A qualified heir cannot be indecisive. You cannot hesitate in any decision you make, even if others may question it. You will make many mistakes in the future, but kindness will only cost you your life before that."

"You are the successor chosen by me. Tsk, let's not talk about your strength, but you must not hesitate when making a decision on something."

Zhu Jiuyao said a lot, and was unusually patient and calm.

As everyone listened, they suddenly felt something was not right.

Why does this sound like... a kind of final arrangement? ? ?

“Are you kidding me?!”

For some reason, the War Dragon Emperor suddenly became angry and questioned Zhu Jiuyao without caring about his identity.

"I am the next successor to the clan leader!"

How could the War Dragon Emperor not understand the meaning of Zhu Jiuyao's words?

"I am a pure dragon. I should be the next successor, not him!"

The only pure dragons in this world are Zhu Jiuyao and Zhan Longhuang.

Logically speaking, the next successor to the patriarch is indeed the War Dragon Emperor.

but……

"I have the final say. If I say he is, then he is."

Zhu Jiuyao was not angry either, he just looked at the War Dragon Emperor indifferently.

"you!"

Even the War Dragon Emperor couldn't help but take action. If Jingjing hadn't controlled the War Dragon Emperor in time, I'm afraid Zhu Jiuyao would have taken action as well.

"I am the clan leader. My words are orders. Do you disobey me? Just hold it in."

Zhu Jiuyao raised his hand and swept away the dragon head in front of him, and the indifference in the optical mirror did not diminish in the slightest.

After taking another look at the stunned Xiao, Zhu Jiuyao said nothing more, turned around and left.

Kaka-

The War Dragon Emperor stared at the direction where Zhu Jiuyao left, his left hand clenched into a fist, and his joints crackled.

"Zhan Long Huang, don't be angry. You never need his consent to decide who you are. In my heart, you will always be better than him."

Jingjing comforted Zhan Longhuang, and Zhan Longhuang rarely did not reply to Jingjing.

After a moment's silence, he turned and walked outside.

"Fight the Dragon King!"

Jingjing shouted, but Zhan Long Huang ignored her. Jingjing stomped her feet and hurriedly chased after him. She pressed the button on her waist and turned into data and merged into Zhan Long Huang's body.

As if the War Dragon Emperor had anticipated this, the moment Jingjing merged into his body, the War Dragon Emperor leaped into the air and turned into a dragon, flying towards the City of the Undead.

Xiao stood there in a daze, with his head down and his expression unclear.

"Brother Xiao, this is not your fault, don't worry about it"

Lolo seemed to sense Xiao's emotions and patted him on the back to comfort him. Xiao just hugged Lolo silently without saying anything.

"Lolo, now that Black Dragon is fine, it's time for us to leave too."

Huo Lei Ting glanced at Ji Su Feng and Fei Mo Lun and spoke softly.

After all, this is the territory of the Beast Tribe. There will always be danger and no one can guarantee that they will always be safe.

Luo Luo nodded, met Xiao's gaze, forced a smile, then stood up from Xiao's arms.

"Lolo..."

Xiao stretched out his hand to keep her, with longing and reluctance overflowing from his eyes.

"Don't worry, Brother Xiao, I will come to play with you often, for sure."

Luo Luo forced herself to turn her head away and not look at him, suppressed her tears, waved her hand with her back to Xiao, and walked out first. Huo Lei Ting and Ji Su Feng also nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Fei Molun looked at Luo Luo, then at Xiao, scratched his head as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and followed them away.

"I……"

Xiao's raised hand fell stiffly, and tears welled up in his eyes but did not fall.

"You are always one of them, go find them when you miss them"

The Golden Claw God walked closer, squatted down and spoke softly.

"General..."

Perhaps Xiao couldn't help it, so he hugged the Golden Claw God's legs and burst into tears.

Grievances, self-blame, regret, anger...

It was almost like it was crushing him.

The Golden Claw God also looked at Xiao in silence without interrupting him, but instead let him vent.

……

night--

The owl sat alone on the roof and looked up at the night sky.

There is no moon today, only stars.

"Why are you so sad? It's not what you wanted to do."

The lazy voice surrounded his ears, and the figure of Emperor Ming was lying beside Xiao, making sarcastic remarks lazily.

"But I... I'm too dangerous..."

Xiao buried his face in his arms, his eyes dull and lifeless.

"So, don't be anxious, don't be angry or sad, be calm~"

The Emperor of the Underworld half opened one eye, glanced at Owl, and then slowly closed it again.

Even he wasn't quite sure what that energy was.

And that figure... doesn't look like a living being... what on earth is it...

The Dark Emperor opened his eyes slightly, and a cold light reflected in his scarlet pupils.

“You are here.”

The Golden Claw God came from behind Owl and looked at Owl. He originally wanted to sit on Owl's right side, but for some reason he always felt strange looking at the empty seat, so he sat on Owl's left side.

"Are you still sad?"

The Golden Claw God also looked up at the sky and was thankful that there was no moon today.

Xiao shook his head and remained silent.

"this is for you"

A red and gold object suddenly came into view, and upon closer inspection, it was the five-pointed star that he had once broken.

"Isn't it broken?"

Owl's eyes widened, and he hurriedly held the five-pointed star in his hand. Looking at the bright red color, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

“I found it and rebuilt it.”

The Golden Claw God smiled. As long as Xiao was no longer sad, he would not worry.

"I wanted to give it to you as your birthday present, but it took so long."

The Golden Claw God was also a little helpless. He had wanted to give out this gift for a long time, but it took so long to deliver it.

"You... you still remember..."

Xiao opened his mouth in disbelief. He thought that the Golden Claw God had long forgotten about this matter...

"Yu Lan also has a gift for you. Go ask him for it tomorrow. He is too embarrassed to ask for it."

Thinking of something again, the Golden Claw God smiled slightly and tilted his head to look at the owl.

"……Thanks"

He knew the feeling of Xiao holding the five-pointed star tightly and crying with joy.

"It's getting late, go to bed early."

The Golden Claw God looked at the night sky, left a few words, and then got up and left.

"If I were to say, as an elder, he is not as good as Hei Xuanming."

Emperor Ming yawned, his tone lazy.

"They each have their own merits, how can they be compared?"

Owl disagreed with Lord Hades's opinion and raised the pentagram.

In the night sky, the five-pointed star still emits a faint glow, and the interwoven red and gold colors are as dazzling as the rising sun.

The pure white pupils also reflected the golden-red five-pointed star.

"Cut~"

Emperor Ming rolled his eyes at Xiao, yawned, and fell asleep beside Xiao.

Owl did not go down, but sat quietly there, looking at the stars in the sky.
