Chapter 87: Chapter 16 Prince Ji Du_i

Translator: 549690339 |

The First Prince of the River Ji Dragon Palace!

A millennia ago, he single-handedly orchestrated the rebellion of the Yunmeng Dragon Palace and overthrew the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch from the throne of the Great Swamp Water Territory.

The betrayals of the First Deputy Turtle Minister, the Twelve Water Gods, and the Thirty-six Angry Waves Generals were all led by him. He ordered the total massacre of the Dragon Sovereign’s offspring when the Yunmeng Dragon Palace was destroyed.

He was the one who let the once almost equal Yunmeng Swampland be swallowed by River Ji, drying up the Great Swamp and leaving only Lake Dongting from the thousands of li territory.

In essence, the First Prince of the River Ji Dragon Palace was the mortal enemy of the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch.

Atop the Dragon Lord Main Hall, as Shen Yuan spoke the title of the Ji Du Palace’s First Prince, the lifelike statue finally began to change.

Arrogant and disdainful gazes fell upon Shen Yuan, with a sound akin to roaring waves echoing throughout the Dragon Sovereign Temple.

“Do you know me?”

The First Prince of River Ji Du looked curious, his stone-carved eyes full of wonder.

You could almost say that he had forgotten his once glorious title, as it had not been mentioned for countless years.

Was it after he failed in assassinating the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch?

Or since he was expelled from the River Ji Dragon Palace?

A mere blink in the cosmic history, even the once mighty Prince of River Ji had almost forgotten his past identity.

Shen Yuan smiled, his expression filled with cold indifference.

“I have seen you before,” he replied.

The first time Shen Yuan saw the First Prince of River Ji was in the lingering dream of the Fubo Dragon Monarch that had lasted for millennia.

But at that time, Shen Yuan hadn’t paid much attention to the Ji Du First Prince because they were from different eras and it was unlikely that their paths would cross.

However, when Shen Yuan realized that the Fubo Dragon Monarch was just a puppet pushed to the front, he began to ponder who was orchestrating everything behind the scenes.

After the clues pointed him toward the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch’s enemy from a millennia ago, Shen Yuan almost directly locked in his target.

Thousands of years gone by, it would be a miracle if even a great figure of Yunmeng Dragon Monarch’s status could survive, let alone during the long period of Spirit Energy depletion.

The only known enemy of the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch that Shen Yuan knew had survived until now was the Water God Wo Xuan.

Shen Yuan even once thought that the Water God Wo Xuan had manipulated everything, intending to restore the Ancient Yunmeng Swampland and become the new lord of the Great Swamp Water Territory.

However, there was always one problem: there was no reason for the Water God Wo Xuan, with his power, to lower his status and cooperate with the Fubo Dragon Monarch.

How did Fubo Dragon Monarch, just a hybrid Jiao Dragon, manage to make contact with the Water God Wo Xuan, who has yet to descend into this world?

It wasn’t until Shen Yuan stepped into the main hall of the Dragon Lord and saw the transformed dragon statue turn into the First Prince of River Ji from his dream that everything became clear.

The First Prince of River Ji became the puppet master, and the reason for choosing Fubo Dragon Monarch as the puppet was straightforward.

He was the opportunity Fubo Dragon Monarch had stumbled upon!

Originally, the Fubo Dragon Monarch was just a common loach. A few months ago, he unintentionally entered a Broken Secret Realm and found a Dragon Pearl in the corpse of a True Dragon. He swallowed the pearl and then became the infamous Great Demon of Dongting.

There was no attempt to hide this legend. Fubo Dragon Monarch even openly admitted his accomplishments were due to inheriting the Dragon Bead of a True Dragon.

However, since ancient times, very few among the numerous dragon clans could be called True Dragons.

Each True Dragon is a renowned and powerful local deity, qualifying to take refuge in the grotto heavens and sacred ground of the Four Waterways Dragon Palace during periods of Spirit Energy depletion.

Coming across the remains of a True Dragon in a Broken Secret Realm, and digesting the Dragon Bead of a True Dragon in the body of a loach to transform into a flood dragon, this can truly be called dreamlike.

This seemingly dreamlike rise from obscurity was, in fact, the intended result of Prince Ji Du’s deliberate scheming.

Shen Yuan speculated that due to some unknown circumstances, Ji Du was unable to enter the grotto heavens and blessed land of the River Ji Dragon Palace, so he had to create a secret realm through certain special means in order to nourish his body and survive the period of Spirit Energy depletion.

But the secret realm was never comparable to the grotto heavens and blessed land. He fell over a long period of time and, in the end, used an unknown secret technique to seal his spirit soul in a dragon ball, enabling his survival till now.

Fubo Dragon Monarch unintentionally entered the secret realm and swallowed the dragon ball to complete his transformation into a flood dragon, both being the results of Prince Ji Du’s manipulation.

Fubo Dragon Monarch was completely ignorant of Prince Ji Du’s existence and merely carried out tasks according to the will of Prince Ji Du.

When the time got to a critical juncture – the Dragon Sovereign’s Banquet, Prince Ji Du abandoned the puppet Fubo Dragon Monarch, enabling his spirit soul to break through Yunmeng Village with the authority over the three hundred h of river waters, successfully replacing the statue of Yunmeng Dragon Monarch.

Once the heavy rain flooded the three hundred li of land, he could completely destroy Yunmeng Village and take control of Yunmeng Swampland!

“Oh?”

Looking down at Shen Yuan with the arrogant form of a local deity, Prince Ji Du finally displayed a trace of interest in his eyes.

In his eyes, Shen Yuan was merely a Qi Transformation Stage ant that claimed to have seen him, which inevitably aroused the curiosity of Prince Ji Du.

“Where did you see me?”

Shen Yuan didn’t respond to Prince Ji Du’s words, instead, he looked out at the pouring rain outside the Dragon Sovereign Temple and the turbulent flood waters.

“Do you know that because of your personal desires, the entire region west of Dongting will be transformed into a water realm three hundred li wide?

Many villages and towns along with this route will be submerged in the flood, and millions of people will have to abandon their homes because of your greed.

The vitality brought about by regional changes over thousands of years will be ruined by your actions.”

“So what?” Prince Ji Du’s voice was devoid of any emotion.

“Since you’ve seen me, you must be the reincarnation of some old monster and you would naturally know how much effort my Dragon Tribe has made to protect these humans.

Never mind the mere three hundred li, even if it were three thousand li or thirty thousand li, as long as I could regain the authority to govern Yunmeng Swampland, I wouldn’t hesitate at all.”

” Why should the strong care about those weak ants?”

Under Prince Ji Du’s indifferent words, the flood roared, setting off surging waves, and the rumbling thunders shook the ground.

But at this moment, Shen Yuan laughed.

“Do you know once a Dragon Monarch sacrificed his best chance to kill his enemy in order to protect his subjects?

As a result, his authority over the water realm was ruined, the Dragon Palace suffered a massacre, and even he himself ultimately died in the era of Spirit Energy depletion.”

Prince Ji Du frowned, a sneer of contempt appearing on his face.

“Are there really such fools in the world?”

Shen Yuan didn’t respond. The Storage Ring on his index finger flashed, and an ancient seal appeared in his palm.

On the seal, a dragon was carved, and the sides of the seal were engraved with intertwined rivers, seemingly corresponding to the rivers in this world.

But it seemed that after a very long time, this seal had lost its divine touch, turning into a beautifully carved stone.

With the ancient seal in his hand, Shen Yuan looked straight at Prince Ji Du in front of him, and said word byword:

“I bring greetings from Yunmeng Dragon Monarch to you!”
