Chapter 1883: Crown Prince? Crown Princess?

“Someone’s already claimed the Sea of Creation and the situation outside is purely to fight over it,” Chu Xingran said. “This part of the void has been sealed off so that only entrance is permitted, no egress. No one is allowed to leave before the Sea of Creation manifests.”

Light glinted in his eyes—he owed a great deal to the azure dragon ancestral god. If it wasn’t for the ancestral god’s help, he wouldn’t have come to the dragons and received their protection. Nothing that happened after would’ve taken place either, so it was imperative that he obtain the sea for the ancestral god.

However, there were several hundred million beings fighting in this part of the world. Who knew where the Sea of Creation lay?

Therefore, the only thing that could be done was to kill!

Kill everything in sight and force the sea to appear!

Everyone was mad, including the supremes and high supremes that barged into the place. The dragons were too weak in comparison and lacked the right to fight over the sea. If it wasn’t for Yun Yi throwing a few treasures at Chu Xingran before he left, the dragons would’ve been completely annihilated long ago.

Since Lu Yun and Chu Xingran had dealings with each other, Chu Xingran quickly discovered Lu Yun’s presence when the young man arrived and led him to safety.

“Is the Sea of Creation really here?” Lu Yun narrowed his eyes. The void was so filled with the presence of slaughter that he couldn’t determine anything.

“Yes,” Chu Xingran nodded. “And it’s not with those high supremes.”

Such pandemonium wouldn’t grip the scene if the treasure was with the high supremes. A battle between hundreds of millions caused many to lose their minds and be engulfed by the desire to kill. Only when the treasure was held by a minor character that the high supremes couldn’t locate would something like this happen.

Seeking to avoid forming too many karmic ties, the high supremes had no choice but to seal off the area and allow the cultivators to attack each other until the Sea of Creation was forced to materialize.

This minor world was one of the treasures that Yun Yi had given Chu Xingran—only something like that could hoodwink a high supreme. Meanwhile, Chu Xingran had no idea why Yun Yi’s attitude toward him had undergone such a fundamental change.

In the past, he’d been treated as Yun Yi’s furnace and sacrificial good. And now? The powerhouse was so kindly toward Chu Xingran that it was a little ridiculous. It made him shake with apprehension.

Chu Xingran was keenly aware that all of his efforts in the past had been for naught. He’d been firmly under Yun Yi’s thumb all the time.

“Things are easy if the treasure’s not with a high supreme. We just need to find that person and bring them here,” Lu Yun lit up.

“We’re in Yun Yi’s treasure right now,” Chu Xingran grumbled. “If Yun Yi also covets the Sea of Creation, it would be playing right into his hands if we bring them here.”

“Do you still not understand Yun Yi’s intentions?” Lu Yun looked at Chu Xingran with exasperation.

“What do you mean?” The man blinked.

“Yun Yi lacks descendants and disciples—he thinks of you as his heir,” Lu Yun responded matter-of-factly. “He is the crown prince of the primordial heavenly court. While the heavenly court is no more, their inheritance remains.”

“Didn’t you say that these legacies are all obsolete notions eliminated by the times?” Chu Xingran frowned.

“But Yun Yi is still alive.” Lu Yun raised a finger. “The heritage of his court continues in whatever era he lives in and advances with him!

“Perhaps the inheritance of the primordial heavenly court is indeed behind the times, but his legacy is vibrant and full of life. He thinks of you as his heir.” Lu Yun suddenly cackled at Chu Xingran. “Perhaps he…”

“Shut up!” Chu Xingran was about to suffer a spontaneous cultivation deviation. “I’ll never let you hear the end of it if you dare speak of it!”

This asshole was going to make a mockery of his gender again. Why the fuck did so many people doubt that he was male?!

“Boring,” Lu Yun curled his lip. “Yun Yi is a woman.”

“Huh?” Chu Xingran’s jaw dropped, as did those of the dragon geniuses around them eavesdropping on the conversation

“Hmph!” A small snort echoed in the air, prompting Chu Xingran to shrink in on himself.

Lu Yun’s lip curl deepened.

Yun Yi had never clarified to anyone what gender she was. Her cultivation level was so high and her strength so strong that no one ever carefully assessed her. In a patriarchal world, everyone naturally assumed she was male.

“Isn’t, isn’t she the crown prince?” Chu Xingran stammered. That cold snort had plainly been from a Yun Yi immensely displeased with Lu Yun revealing her gender.

Lu Yun had teased her an incredible amount during his previous trip to the Firmament Prison, but only his usage of “cuckold” had raised her ire and created an opening. In reality, Yun Yi had purposefully revealed that weakness so the rest of her plan could play out. She’d soundlessly followed Lu Yun back to hell to meet Mo Yi and the Dao King.

What fucking opening!

Could an ant sway the mind of a dragon?

“If there is one more person left from the primordial heavenly court, she would be the princess. Since she is the only one left, she is the crown prince bearing the burden of revitalizing her dynasty,” Lu Yun explained. “Now then, you can be at ease and either become her disciple or dao partner.”

Chu Xingran: ……

The dragon geniuses smiled ruefully at each other. Lu Yun and Chu Xingran hadn’t kept the conversation a secret from them, but there was nothing they could add to it. All of them were injured and would, in fact, be dead if Chu Xingran hadn’t brought out this treasure to protect them.

All of them knew the truth of their faction and how they were the last of the draconic bloodline. The only thing they could do was to remain here. Once they died, they would no longer be the dragon race they once were.

None of the geniuses here were fools. At least, they wouldn’t erupt in hostility against Chu Xingran at this critical moment. Dragons like those had died to the nine clawed golden dragon a long time ago.

“Let’s put our heads together and figure out how to find that person,” Chu Xingran chuckled wryly. He swept a glance at the geniuses around him. These may not be the strongest of their race, but they could absolutely shoulder the mission of restoring their faction.

The golden dragons were done. The azure dragons could hang on for a while longer because of the Azure Dragon King, but they couldn’t endure for long either. The nine clawed golden dragon had already moved against Dragon City, which made the azure dragons next in line.

Although Lu Yun had already sent a message to the Azure Dragon King, it was unlikely the dragon would believe him.

“No need, I’ve found him,” Lu Yun shook his head. “Let’s go get him and leave straight away.”
