The tiny sliver of hope was still doused by the opposing forces, however.
The atmosphere would be enough to directly affect a Martial Heart, instinctively causing their own hope to drop to the depths of the abyss.
And it wasn’t as if the Huang Dragons were being unreasonable.
They all are old monsters that lived for thousands of years. Their life accumulation reached an unfathomable standpoint to the point mortal minds would never be able to comprehend them.
For the survival of their Huang Dragon race, for the thriving of their Imperial Family, for the good of them all, they all are more than aware of sacrifices.
These Huang Dragons certainly hold passionate sentiments toward their Imperial Family.
They welcome and nurture any promising geniuses and attempt to uphold reasonably fair practices across the younger generation.
In the end, they all want their Imperial Family to reach the highest state of glory, reaching the peak of the Martial World and possibly answer some of life’s greatest mysteries!
Towards such lofty ambitions, shackles needed to be let go.
Shi Wei understood it all. In fact, she could be said to be one of the main reasons why such grand ambitions were inspired in these Huang Dragons.
And yet, Shi Wei’s Martial Heart, expression, and bearing did not waver in the slightest.
Her small smile seemed as bright as a pulsating sun, sparkling with such radiance that the Huang Dragons almost felt a sting in their eyes from gazing upon it.
She calmly said with an increasing tempo, “Your words are not wrong. Your worries are not unfounded. Your reasoning is indeed correct. However! It will be my number one priority to get little Cain and Kali to awaken no matter what. I can just see it. These two will rise to not just surpass Heavenly Great World geniuses but also carve out a pathway for our Imperial family. You may or probably won’t ever believe me. But, what my very soul feels about these two goes beyond mere intuition. I firmly have all my hopes into Cain and Kali!”
“This…” Huang Xilong, Nailong, Dilong, Ya, Laolong and Song Lin all had a great change in expression.
They were genuinely taken aback by the passion blazing like a sun in Shi Wei’s voice.
Her momentum was dominating, pressuring nearly all of them!
By just her voice, could she sweep the atmosphere into her pace. This was the majestic might of Ancient Dragon Empress Shi Wei!
But even with this, the Huang Dragons couldn’t get rid of their heavy, lingering doubts. No matter what, they were unwilling to believe.
In direct contrast, when nobody was paying attention to him, Huang Maolong’s aged eyes slightly widened.
His expression almost contorted as a glint sparkled within the depths of his pupils, almost like he came upon a massive realization.
….
As the same memory washed over the Huang Dragons’ minds, they felt a gripping stirring from the depths of their souls.
It was a highly complex sensation that caused them all to reflect on other past events relating to Cain and Kali.
Song Lin quietly said, “First, it was the Dao Diagram test in which those two and even that silver-haired girl surpassed Zilong. Next, their combat prowess was already in genius territory, with Cain being the highest. And now…they are off to become Divine Mortals.”
Unknowingly, out of all sensations making a storm of their souls, one particular stood above.
It was a sensation none of them ever believed they would experience from the once cultivation waste.
That is the sensation of hope!
The Huang Dragons were left with one critical question that they could not answer at this moment.
Would this truly be the rise of a new era for the Huang Dragons?𝑶𝑣𝓵xt.𝗰𝑶𝑀
….
In the Huang Dragon’s hidden world, there were numerous celestial mountains, immortal palaces, and immortal islands, each at least the size of an average continent, continually floating within the air.
These celestial mountains contain the true population of the Huang Dragon’s hidden world.
Towards all non-imperial palace members, these are their homelands. And those who can live here experience various wither and rain of life.
Out of all celestial mountains, only one stood far above in the sky above others and held the longest size.
This celestial mountain was around 30,000 miles in length, far surpassing any mortal nation.
Because it was close to the peak of the hidden world, this celestial mountain also has the purest Divine Essence of all other non-imperial areas.
At the center of the celestial mountain contain its grandest sight.
A massive metropolis of a city was stationed here. The city itself took nearly half of the whole celestial mountain.
It was the size of a Lower Realm continent!
The city was luxuriously designed.
Pristine golden city walls that extended at the edges, beautiful pavilions, and massive multi-connected buildings littered the luxurious shiny streets, a lavishly bustling atmosphere engulfed the whole city.
This was Huang Dragon’s most fantastic city, Yellow Dragon City.
And currently, the massive metropolis of a city was hit with a tremendous wave of news.
Excitement burst all throughout as thousands gathered towards a golden color coliseum.
The coliseum was inscribed with Dragon insignia patterns, each art thriving as if it was a real and breathing Dragon.
Within each Dragon insignia, a trained cultivator’s eyes would be able to identify the luminous golden threads of Spirit Law Marks.
Nearly all duel stages of the coliseum were empty except for one. In this duel stage was where the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Dragon Citizens gathered.
Everyone’s eyes contained fervent excitement, anticipation stifled the air, noise boomed around like a thunderous storm!
“I can’t believe it. The sixth princess and seventh prince are finally going to show off! After their talent test, I thought it would be a bit longer before they take the main stage.”
One small group of youngsters were excitedly discussing among themselves. They huddled around together, ignoring the booming crowd noise, focusing on the highly anticipated event coming their way.
Indeed, today’s the day Cain and Kali fight with their fellow talented Huang Dragons.
As new talents that far surpassed the Crown Prince and even carved a recent history themselves, it was only natural so much attention gathered.
This practically concerns the thriving of their whole race!
Above all, geniuses of Holy Land forces are usually the next generations to lead everyone into continuous thriving.
And the most critical aspect of geniuses would be their cultivation talent and combat prowess. These two dictate just how much a Holy Land can grow.
Setting up talks, engaging in political relations with other rivaling forces, clearing up internal strife stemmed from a foundation.
That foundation is absolute strength!
It does not matter how charismatic, open-minded or eloquent one can talk; without the appropriate strength to back it up, it is all worthless.
After all, with absolute might, one can make the rules, produce the laws, say what is fair and unjust.
It was the simple natural law of the world, no matter the society.
Thus, all had extravagant hopes placed on both Cain and Kali.
Although, the Dragon siblings weren’t simply looking to showcase just their genius prowess. They were fighting for a cause that struck heavy cords in the hearts of everyone.
“To think not only would they appear again so soon but also have the highest galls to challenge Luolong! It is confirmed that both royal children are only Early Stage Sky Sages, so they’re really trying to make it big with this fight.”
One of the youngsters in the same group sighed in wonderment, both feeling amazed and bewildered at Cain and Kali’s decision.
“Truly, I believe it’s just for them to test their limits and leave behind a message to all of us. After all, they were known as cultivation wastes for years.”
“Yea, I mean, I can’t possibly see either them of even giving Lulong a slight feeling of pressure. That guy is an expert among 1st fall Divine Origins. His Inner World has a dense foundation. He controls Sword Laws and cultivates a Heavenly Rank manual. Lulong gonna have to restrain himself by a massive margin.”
“You can’t help but feel sorry for him. Grand Ancestor organizes this duel. And the royal children probably don’t want to sow anymore discord between them, so Lulong would be the next best option. Still, I hope the royal children can showcase something worth of number one talent!”
As the coliseum continued to fill up, at one of the highest audience seats was the gathering of the royal descendants.
Their position overlooked everyone else, fitting for their actual status.
Huang Dai and Xun sat a bit reclusive from the other royal descendants. They didn’t bother to engage with them, but they were scoping just who decided to show up.
“To think even on our site, it’s a full house. Even Zilong and Linglong came to watch. It’s been a while since I last saw them.” Huang Dai remarked while casually tossing his gaze around.
“It’s only inevitable after all. Zilong may feel threatened for the Crown Prince position.” Huang Xun calmly replied.
But Huang Dai couldn’t hold his cool. He snapped towards Xun, asking, “Do you really think Cain and Kali have a chance for that position? Cultivation and combat prowess are the most crucial part. But I did hear there were various other skills that must be tested for it.”
“I only said he may feel threatened.” Huang Xun blinked her eyes as she intently stared at the battle stage. “After all, you don’t really believe that those two can become Divine Mortals, right?”
“Oh, hahah…yea…” A sheepish laugh exuded from Huang Dai.
For some time now, he had this strange feeling about today’s event, but he decisively suppressed it, believing it to just be unfounded worries.
And now, within the audience, that strange feeling nearly returned. But with Huang Xun’s words, Dai quickly suppressed once again, saying, “In any case, we already seen what they can do at just the Sky Ruler realm. I’m intrigued by what they can do now. At least, they should be able to threaten any Early Stage Sacred Sovereigns.”
Huang Xun quietly nodded in agreement. Though unknown to Dai, her eyes flickered with a slightly uncertain light.
