Chapter 6215 - Is There Any Justice Left

“Lord Long Chen.” These powerful Empire Seed cultivators saw Long Chen, their eyes filled with excitement, and they knelt on one knee, respectfully saluting him. “Please, don't bow so heavily in the future, a simple greeting will suffice.” Long Chen reached out to help them up. He disliked the feeling of being worshipped. Likewise, Long Chen's knees had only ever knelt to his parents, never to anyone else. “Lord Long Chen, without you, we wouldn't have our present. You are our king, and as subjects, we salute our king to express our respect and reverence.” The dragon disciple said excitedly. Long Chen was taken aback. What did they mean by saying they wouldn't have their present without him? What had happened? Seeing Long Chen's confusion, the disciple was about to explain when an Emperor-level expert appeared. Upon seeing Long Chen, he hurriedly approached: “Lord Long Chen, we have been eagerly awaiting your return. The Domain Lord has been waiting for you for a long time, please follow me to meet him.” Long Chen was puzzled: “The Domain Lord is looking for me?” “It's best to let the Domain Lord explain to you!” The Emperor-level expert quickly led Long Chen to the Dragon Domain Hall. Interestingly, the first time Long Chen came here, he had to fight his way through thorns all the way. Now, the entire Dragon Domain revered him as a deity. Everyone, from top to bottom, treated Long Chen with respect, not daring to show the slightest negligence. The hall was still the same hall, the Domain Lord was still the same Domain Lord. However, now the Domain Lord was an Emperor of the Seventh Heaven. Inside the hall, there were hundreds of strong cultivators, and even the weakest were mid-Emperor-level experts. Among the late-Emperor-level experts, there were nine whose auras were stronger than the Domain Lord's. This time, Long Chen truly witnessed the depth of the Heavenly Dragon Domain's foundation, truly worthy of being the strongest Dragon Domain of the Dragon Clan. “Greetings, Lord Long Chen.” To Long Chen's surprise, when he entered the hall, all the experts, including the Domain Lord, knelt on one knee and respectfully saluted him. “Domain Lord, this is too much.” Long Chen was startled and hurriedly went to help the Domain Lord. But the Domain Lord did not rise immediately, maintaining his saluting posture, saying: “Lord Long Chen, we are aware of everything that happened in the Empire Domain. Please forgive our previous rudeness and pardon our offenses. Our Dragon Clan is willing to forever honor you as our sovereign.” Long Chen was bewildered by the Domain Lord's gesture. So many Emperor-level experts kneeling at once left even Long Chen at a loss. “What rudeness, what offenses? Domain Lord, you are too serious. Please, rise and speak.” Long Chen quickly said. With Long Chen's words, the Domain Lord slowly stood up, followed by the others. “Lord Long Chen, please take the main seat.” The Domain Lord said as he gestured for Long Chen to take the largest throne in the center of the nine thrones in the hall. Previously, the Domain Lord only sat on a side seat. This position had remained vacant for countless years because it was the imperial seat. For countless years, no one dared to sit in this position because doing so meant becoming the ruler of the Dragon Clan. Although many Dragon Clan experts dreamed day and night of sitting there, it was merely a dream. No one dared because, historically, only the Chaos Dragon Emperor had ever occupied it, as no one else could command such respect. Long Chen was the first person since the Chaos Dragon Emperor to whom the experts of the Dragon Domain willingly offered this seat. “Domain Lord, this…” Although Long Chen didn't know the history of this seat, he wasn't a fool and could see its significance. The Domain Lord smiled and said, “It is just a seat. It is not an imperial crown and won't bind your freedom. You relinquished the coronation and returned the Dragon Clan's fortune to them. In today's world, other than the Chaos Dragon Emperor, only you can sit in this position. Moreover, you bear the legacy of the Chaos Dragon Emperor; you are, in essence, his disciple. A disciple sitting in the master's seat is perfectly reasonable.” Seeing the situation, Long Chen realized that if he didn't sit, it might drag on for a long time, so he reluctantly agreed: “In that case, I must obey.” When Long Chen sat on the throne, only three of the late-Emperor-level elders sat beside him, with the other seats remaining empty. Other late-Emperor-level experts stood respectfully on both sides, and for a moment, the hall's atmosphere became somewhat solemn. The Domain Lord was the first to break the silence, saying: “Lord Long Chen, it's great that you're back. If you hadn't returned, we would have gone to bring you back. I believe you have heard about the Heavenly Domain Battlefield? Our Heavenly Dragon Domain also has an entrance to it. Currently, we have over ten million Empire Seed experts…” “Wait, how many?” Long Chen was startled. Long Chen's surprised reaction brought a smile of satisfaction to the faces of the Dragon Clan experts present. The Domain Lord smiled and said, “Lord Long Chen, you heard correctly, indeed over ten million. This is all thanks to you. You refused the coronation and shattered the imperial crown. That crown, which embodied the Dragon Clan's fortune accumulated over billions of years, contained endless fortune. Now, Dragon Clan's fortune has erupted. The way of heaven and the earth's veins have merged, and as the strongest Dragon Domain, our Heavenly Dragon Domain, blessed by our ancestors, absorbed the most fortune…” Long Chen suddenly understood why even the gatekeepers of the Heavenly Dragon Domain were Empire Seed experts; they had so many Empire Seed experts. In the past, an Empire Seed was a treasure, but now ordinary Empire Seeds were like grass in the Heavenly Dragon Domain because there were so many. “To report to you, we have over thirty thousand God Seed experts. Most of them have below fifty Emperor Flames, and there are one thousand and fifty-seven with over fifty Emperor Flames. Among the hundred-flame God Seed experts, we have a hundred and ninety-three. There are sixteen with over two hundred Emperor Flames, one of whom is in the Dragonblood Legion.” The Domain Lord said. “My Dragonblood Legion has a God Seed with two hundred Emperor Flames?” Long Chen was surprised: “Could it be Gu Yang?” “No, it's that young man named Guo Ran.” The Domain Lord said. “Guo Ran?” Long Chen was incredulous. This guy, as lazy as a donkey, wouldn't move unless pushed, yet he had two hundred Emperor Flames? Is there any justice? “By the way, do we have anyone in the Dragon Domain with three hundred Emperor Flames?” Long Chen suddenly thought of Long Biluo and asked casually. The Domain Lord replied, “Not yet. In our Dragon Domain, the one with the most Emperor Flames is Di Mengyao, with two hundred and forty-seven flames. Our Heavenly Dragon Domain's fortune is so strong, and Di Mengyao is the strongest cultivation genius of our clan; no one can compare. I believe, even in the Nine Heavens, it is unlikely that anyone can so quickly gather three hundred Emperor Flames.” Hearing the Domain Lord's confident tone, Long Chen felt a stir in his heart. It seemed this Long Biluo was indeed formidable.
