Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 1032 - 1030: The Dragon Clan’s Desire

All the Dragon Kings’ gazes were intensely focused on Tang San. Just as Lu Fuyao was about to say more, he was stopped by the Light Dragon King, Xu Anyu.

"Chief Jin, I apologize for the intrusion, but this matter is of great importance to our Dragon Clan," Xu Anyu said solemnly.

The other Dragon Kings also nodded their heads, all looking quite anxious.

"Brother Xu, please speak," said Tang San. Although he had a rough idea of what was about to be discussed, he still prepared himself to listen.

Xu Anyu’s voice took on a somber tone: "This concerns our Dragon Clan’s secrets. I must ask Chief Jin to keep this confidential."

"Mhm," Tang San nodded in agreement.

With a sigh, Xu Anyu continued: "This has been a problem for our Dragon Clan for a long time. As everyone knows, whether it’s our Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Demon Clan, or the Behemoth Clan, all are extremely strong races. However, we all face the same issue, which is propagation."

"For any race, reproduction is of utmost importance. It is fundamental to the prosperity and continuity of a race. However, perhaps precisely because our three clans are so inherently powerful, reproduction is incredibly difficult for us. Often, it may take decades, or even a century, to bear offspring. And that includes instances where offspring don’t survive. Among the three clans, Dragons have the most difficulty producing offspring, followed by the Phoenix Demon Clan, with the Behemoth Clan being relatively better off." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"To address this fundamental issue for the continuation of our race, the Dragon Clan began researching bloodlines many years ago. We have been hoping to find a method that at least improves our reproductive situation, so it does not affect the transfer of our lineage."

As Tang San listened to Xu Anyu’s story, he secretly pondered—if the Dragon Clan’s reproduction issues could indeed be resolved, even to the point of breeding as humans do, then the entire world would not be far from destruction. For a race as gifted as the Dragon Clan to reproduce without any limits, what a terrifying situation that would be!

Xu Anyu continued, "This is the origin of our clan’s bloodline research. However, as the research progressed, we began to try intermarriages with other races to see if it could enhance the possibility of giving birth to stronger descendants. That’s why there were many sub-dragons born. But sub-dragons are not true dragons after all, so it wasn’t enough. Therefore, our research focused more on our own clan, and during this process, it was unavoidable for our clansmen to experience bloodline mutations. Since our Dragon Clan’s own foundation is strong enough, relatively speaking, the possibility of a favorable mutation is higher. And those Dragon Clan descendants with mutations, we would gather them for training, and once they have grown to a certain extent and their bloodline risks can be confirmed to be absent, they can live and grow freely like other members of the Dragon Clan. Among them, there is a most notable example that Chief Jin must be aware of, and that is the Dragon Master of our previous generation, the former strongest in the Ancestral Court, His Majesty the Crystal Great Demon Emperor. His Majesty Crystal’s bloodline resulted from a mutation, yet he lived for three thousand years and also dominated the Demon Monster Land for three thousand years, which is our Dragon Clan’s pride."

"However, while there are successful cases like His Majesty Crystal, we have also encountered certain failures. These failures often do not lie in strength, but on a mental level. The mutation of energy often produces a strong impact on the mind and divine consciousness. The more severe the bloodline mutation, the greater the risk. This has led to members of our Dragon Clan who have experienced issues after mutation. We can only treat these clansmen in the same way we deal with ferocious dragons, controlling their actions through certain means to prevent them from causing destruction. But they are also, just the same, our clansmen."

"Today, seeing that Chief Jin has actually resolved the ferocious dragon’s issue, at least temporarily restoring its senses, if this method can be applied to our other out-of-control clansmen and have an effect, then Chief Jin will be a great benefactor to our Dragon Clan. Thus, I came here today a bit urgently, but I still took the liberty to consult with Chief Jin, to see if you could help us. Chief Jin, if there is anything you need, just say it. As long as it is within the capabilities of the Dragon Clan, we will give our all."

Watching Xu Anyu’s earnest words, Tang San nodded slightly and said, "Brother Xu, I understand the urgency of you and everyone here. The ferocious dragon’s case is quite special; when I bought it at auction, I actually wasn’t sure I could truly solve its problem. But I was still willing to give it a try, because at that time I sensed its deep pain. Moreover, because its cultivation base was so high, without control, merely suppressing it with a magic array would likely lead to its body exploding and perishing before long."

Hearing what Tang San said, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Xu Anyu’s face, and some of the Dragon Kings even showed signs of shame. Only Lu Fuyao wore a cold smirk, looking at the Dragon Kings with a look of disdain on his face.

Tang San pinpointed the key issue: why would the Dragon Clan auction off a ferocious dragon with such immense strength? Not only because it was difficult to control, but also because it could be suppressed with a collar when necessary, and could be thrown into the enemy camp when needed, serving as a powerful weapon. Clearly, the Dragon Clan knew that the ferocious dragon was likely on the brink of death, which is why they chose to sell it for money at the grand auction. Yet it was bought by Tang San, who suppressed its destructive intent, and after witnessing today’s battle, the Dragon Clan not only hoped Tang San could solve a major problem for them but also felt at a loss! An existence close to that of an Emperor, if controllable, is not something that could be bought with the mere sum Tang San had paid. Furthermore, the ferocious dragon possesses the extremely rare attribute of destruction.

Xu Anyu sighed and said candidly, "Indeed, there are many practices within our clan that I do not agree with. Just like the auctioning of the ferocious dragon, I had strongly opposed it. The Dragon Kings present can attest to this. But it isn’t me who has the final say in our clan right now; we still need to listen to the Elders, especially the Emperors. So, I had no choice. Therefore, I hope even more that Chief Jin can help our clan resolve this issue, so our clansmen no longer have to face such crises."

Tang San, with his overwhelmingly powerful divine consciousness, could sense the sincerity in Xu Anyu’s words. There were no lies, and it wasn’t an act; it truly came from the heart, with a resonance of divine consciousness.

No wonder he could be acknowledged by Jingjing and recognized by so many of the Dragon Clan as an existence capable of contending with the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor. He indeed has his charismatic leadership.

"Brother Xu, I completely understand the situation you’ve described. As to whether I can be of help, frankly speaking, I’m not sure myself. Because the ferocious dragon’s case is very unique, it just so happens that my attributes could assist it. Moreover, it was with the help of His Majesty Tianyang that I was able to temporarily solve its problem. You all must have done considerable research on the ferocious dragon’s bloodline and should understand its special attributes. It possesses the very rare attribute of destruction. What is the attribute of destruction? To us life species, the origin of the life attribute lies in creation, while destruction is the opposite of creation, possessing the powerful ability to destroy and obliterate everything. But that doesn’t mean destruction is bad; on the contrary, destruction is sometimes necessary, and endless creation would ultimately lead to disaster, too. Moderate destruction is self-regulation. For example, how do you deal with the should-not-exist Polluted Yellow Sea? It should be completely destroyed. Thus, destruction is not only not a bad attribute, but it’s also a very high-level attribute. So high that even the Dragon Clan’s physical bodies cannot easily withstand it. That is why the ferocious dragon ends up having such a huge problem, and the Dragon Clan cannot control it."
