"I'm sorry for making you worry!"

After Ying Zi stepped out of the room, Jiang Chen took off his hat, looking at the three women with apologetic eyes.

"Jiang Chen, you bastard!"

At this moment, Ye Jingyi cursed softly, leaping into Jiang Chen's embrace, crying and hitting him, "Bastard! Bastard!"

"Big bastard!"

"Stinking bastard!"

The cries rang out, and Gong Lin and Ye Yuwan also flung themselves forward.

Jiang Chen quickly extended his arms, hugging all three of them, offering soft, gentle comfort.

After quite a bit of consoling, Jiang Chen finally managed to stop their tears.

Next, Jiang Chen was taken directly upstairs by the three women.

Bam!

The bedroom door was slammed shut, and the room was instantly filled with a spring-like atmosphere!

Silent through the night, the room was full of spring colors.

When Jiang Chen and the three women came out of the bedroom, it was already noon the next day.

After lunch, Jiang Chen asked Yan Hu to invite the Dragon Saint over.

Upon returning yesterday, both the Dragon Saint and You Xuan had stayed in the manor, keeping up the appearance of still closely protecting Ye Jingyi.

Mi Jiaro, who had returned earlier, was temporarily set aside by Jiang Chen, as Jiang Chen had too many questions he wanted to clarify with the Dragon Saint.

The closer he got to the truth, the more he realized there were many mysteries that couldn't be understood just through inquiry.

Therefore, a knowledgeable person like the Dragon Saint was necessary to reveal them.

In the villa's living room, Jiang Chen and the Dragon Saint sat across from each other.

The two were silent for a long time.

"Mr Jiang, have you... given up targeting those descending forces?"

Finally, it was the Dragon Saint who cautiously spoke first.

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, understanding the meaning behind the Dragon Saint's words, and gently shook his head, "Of course not, it's just that during this time, I've realized something. The arrival of the Ancient Martial Era cannot be avoided, and merely killing won't solve it."

He paused, organizing his thoughts.

"Even if we killed all the descending forces in the world now, it would only delay the arrival of the era slightly."

Then, Jiang Chen continued, "But such a result would make those forces consider us their enemies upon their arrival. It's better to align and unite, to win over some people. This way, we can truly possess the ability to contend with the Ancient Martial forces."

"It's good that you realized this!" The Dragon Saint sighed with relief, feeling the heavy weight in his heart finally drop.

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, looking at the Dragon Saint suspiciously, "Dragon Saint Senior, your reaction... seems a bit unusual?"

"Haha!" The Dragon Saint laughed heartily, "Once you finish asking all you want to know, you'll understand!"

Jiang Chen blinked, nodded slightly, and softly said, "Alright, I'll start asking now, why can my Dragon Qi restrain the Soul Devouring Power? What is the Dragon Descendant all about? What is the Dragon Guardian Clan? What is my mission..."

The Dragon Saint paused, amused by Jiang Chen, "Mr Jiang, you're asking so many questions at once, I don't even know where to start! How about this, I'll tell you a story, and by the time you finish listening, most of your questions will be answered!"

"Alright!"

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrow, setting himself into a listening posture.

The Dragon Saint glanced at Jiang Chen, composed his thoughts, and began narrating, "This matter starts from the end of the Ancient Martial Era. At that time..."

During the Ancient Martial Era, the world was filled with Spiritual Energy that people could cultivate, and the martial artists of that time were very powerful.

The Saint Realm, or Unification Realm, back then was only considered a beginner's entrance into the martial artist community.

In that era, everyone practiced martial arts, and some top strongmen's descendants were born with the strength of Innate Grandmasters.

However, because martial artists were rampant, the resources needed for cultivation were becoming increasingly scarce, leading to an enormous war that swept across the world!

That war shattered the heavens and the earth, breaking the originally single continent into several pieces, and even shattered the space of this world.

As a result of that war, the Spiritual Energy of this world began to seep into the fractured space rifts, gradually turning this world into one without Spiritual Energy.

Thus began the Era of Martial Decline!

At that time, the continuous flow of Spiritual Energy into the fractured space rifts aroused the suspicion of the few peak powerhouses of that time. They joined forces to thoroughly break the shattered space and explore within.

When these powerhouses returned, they brought both good news and bad news.

The good news was that they discovered a world filled with Spiritual Energy, with Spiritual Energy even denser than the original Life Origin Star.

The bad news was that the world had numerous fierce beasts, with formidable power.

The various Ancient Martial forces gathered to discuss and decided to collectively migrate to the other world.

At that time, as the most powerful force, the Dragon Clan demanded that if everyone was moving, they should all relocate, leaving no one below the Saint Realm behind in this world.

All the various forces readily agreed.

However, when the Dragon Clan attempted to move the entire clan as planned, they were suddenly besieged by numerous top-tier forces of the time, sealing the Dragon Clan in Dragon Valley and jointly sealing it.

After the migration of all forces, the top powerhouses of the various forces together moved the entire Dragon Island, placing it at the entrance to the new world.

"Why did they do this?" Jiang Chen asked the Dragon Saint with confusion.

"They felt the Dragon Clan was too powerful, and if allowed to live freely in the new world, they would still be beneath its feet."

Anger flashed in the Dragon Saint's eyes, "So some of the top forces at the time united to seal the Dragon Clan on Dragon Island. But they distrusted each other, fearing that others would secretly return to this world to completely annihilate the legacies they left behind."

"After all, back then, who knew if they could survive in the new world? They agreed so readily only because this world was unbearable anymore!"

"For this reason, they placed Dragon Island at the entrance to the new world, where the Spiritual Energy was relatively sparse, and they reinforced the seal on Dragon Island at intervals to prevent the Dragon Clan from breaking it and escaping!"

"These people are basically using the Dragon Clan as gatekeepers!" Jiang Chen exclaimed.

The Dragon Saint's face turned slightly unpleasant, looking at Jiang Chen with a complex gaze, and continued:

"At that time, all forces left behind some form of legacy, and the Dragon Clan did not wish to leave any of their people behind, only leaving a few human forces that had depended on them. When this became known, the whole world changed..."
