Upon hearing this, soone finally couldn't hold back and spoke, "Now that we've fallen into such a state, how do you plan to lead us in avenging the four Immortal Emperors?"
The speaker was none other than Lao San, Jin Peng, but this ti, no one spoke to stop or reprimand him. Apparently, Lao San's words were agreed upon by most.
In fact, a thousand years ago, Li Long was already the king of the Dragon Domain, and even if Li Long didn't say so, everyone would regard him as king.
However, Li Long's words at this ti seed eager, making everyone more curious about how Li Long suddenly gained such confidence to lead them in revenge against the four Immortal Emperors?
It's important to know that the four Immortal Emperors were already extrely powerful a thousand years ago, and given another millennium, their strength is bound to be even more refined! Yet, we have fallen to a realm never experienced before, let alone exact revenge on the four Immortal Emperors. Even restoring our strength from a thousand years ago is a grave challenge.
Li Long was more solemn than ever, speaking coldly, "Lao San, I don't bla you for speaking to in that tone, but if you use that tone when speaking to our king, I won't let you off first!"
With these words, all the Ferocious Beasts were taken aback.
What does this an? Li Long is not planning to claim the throne? Who is the new king? Is there another powerful survivor in the Dragon Domain?
Lao San Jin Peng, known for his explosive temper, reacted quickest and stared at Li Long in disbelief, "The king you speak of... is that human? An Immortal Venerable level is fit to be our king?"
Everyone stared intently at Li Long. Since the creation of Dragon Domain, there was never a precedent for allowing a human to be king. Not even an Immortal Emperor, let alone an Immortal Venerable level human!
Seeing Li Long shake his head, everyone relaxed slightly, but his next words made everyone feel their heads buzz open.
"Our king is another human from earlier, a Mysterious Light Realm Peak."
Everyone was stunned. Lao San Jin Peng even thought he was experiencing auditory hallucinations.
Dragon Domain and humans are sworn enemies, yet Li Long wants a human to be king. And he chooses a re Mysterious Light Realm junior over an Immortal Venerable level human!
Mysterious Light Realm? What level of power is that?
In Dragon Domain, so powerful races are born with Mysterious Light Realm power!
Although we've fallen into disgrace, and less than a hundredth of our power remains, no one would agree to call a young man king. Lao San Jin Peng felt this was an insult to himself and to Dragon Domain!
"Li Long, a thousand years of imprisonnt—are you dumb, or are you treating us all like fools? You want us to bow to a Mysterious Light Realm human? And to make him king?"
This ti, Lao San Jin Peng was genuinely furious, even addressing Li Long by na directly.
We've treated you, Li Long, as a brother. Even if you don't regard us as brothers, you shouldn't insult or ridicule us like this!
Li Long looked at the indignant crowd and solemnly said, "All of us were awakened by Brother Xu, the elixir we recovered with was sent by Brother Xu, and the reason we can argue here is all thanks to Brother Xu's efforts."
"Just because Brother Xu is human, should we disregard gratitude and pay no homage?"
Among the nine Ferocious Beasts, several lowered their heads, yet Lao San Jin Peng still didn't relent, speaking through gritted teeth, "That doesn't an we should accept a human as king! He has no right to be the king of Dragon Domain!"
"No right? He has more right than anyone!" Li Long retorted, "While you were still asleep, Brother Xu, relying on his own, with just his wits, managed to mockingly toy with the four Immortal Emperors, buying us ti to awaken."
"You think a Mysterious Light Realm Peak is low? It is indeed low, but just a few days ago, Brother Xu was at the Middle Stage of Mysterious Light Realm! The first ti I t him, he was still in the Zhiwei Realm!"
"Such terrifying talent is even mightier than Xiao Shi Yi, and more importantly, he possesses more wisdom than all of us combined!"
The nine Ferocious Beasts all lowered their proud heads.
Li Long's words struck a nerve. In terms of strength, they yield to none, yet in terms of cunning, none combined match the four Immortal Emperors.
Now, one Xu Fan could, with such insignificant strength, toy with the four Immortal Emperors, and his talent is extrely formidable.
Accepting such a super genius as king didn't seem like an unreasonable grievance.
However, Lao San Jin Peng persisted in his final stubborn resistance, "Not of our kin—his heart must be suspicious! A human able to toy with the four Immortal Emperors, if made king—isn't that more dangerous for us? Perhaps, he's colluding with the four Immortal Emperors!"
Not only Li Long but almost everyone shook their heads lightly.
Xu Fan couldn't possibly be in league with the four Immortal Emperors; otherwise, there'd be no reason to spend such effort awakening everyone.
But no one stood up against Lao San either, even though they barely accepted Xu Fan inwardly. For a human at Mysterious Light Realm Peak to be their king, there was discomfort.
Li Long didn't rush to rebut but smiled and spoke, "Regarding this point, I had a discussion with Brother Xu. One of his comnts, I found quite insightful."
"The downfall of Dragon Domain wasn't because the four Immortal Emperors were too cunning but because of our excessive arrogance and pride. Born with haughtiness, we never truly regarded humans. Even without the four Immortal Emperors, Dragon Domain would inevitably decline!"
The crowd actually agreed with this, as millennia provide ample ti for even the proudest to reflect.
But Li Long continued.
"Conversely, Brother Xu, in a sense, is similar to the four Immortal Emperors, possessing inherent dominance! Ferocity! Whether it's a mountain or an ocean before him, all obstacles face death overcoming!"
"Now, we must confront reality! The four Immortal Emperors have surely grown far stronger than us! Unless a miracle occurs, relying solely on our power, revenge is impossible!"
"Yet Brother Xu is soone skilled in creating miracles!"
Silence enveloped the Ice Palace.
Li Long's words were like a sudden alert, waking those sunken in past pride.
Past circumstances have changed, and unless a miracle transpires, they are no match against the four Immortal Emperors—but Xu Fan is a person capable of crafting miracles. Having such a person guide them appears quite fitting...
Eyes among the crowd exchanged, ultimately nodding silently.
"Brother Xu!"
At the Ice Palace's entrance, Xu Fan heard Li Long's call, stepping in.
As he stepped forward, Xu Fan noticed each Ferocious Beast eyeing him with peculiar gazes.
Xu Fan was sowhat bewildered.
You argue and call over—why? Also, staring with those inexplicable gazes... We aren't close, okay?
The ten Ferocious Beasts exchanged glances, finally nodding in harmony.
Ultimately, Li Long spoke, his voice grave, "Brother Xu, after our collective discussion, it has been unanimously decided: from now until the defeat of the four Immortal Emperors, all of us in Dragon Domain regard you as our king!"
