Chapter 5246 Endless Desolation, I’m Coming!

“They ran off?” Long Chen was baffled for a moment before nodding. “Not bad. Your disciples at least have some courage and backbone.”

The leaders of the dragon race instantly turned red. They were amazed that Long Chen could deduce the situation from that statement.

When Bai Yingxuan returned to the Dragon Domain with the white dragon race, she directly shared the recording Long Chen had left her. Once their disciples learned that their ancestors existed deep within the Endless Desolation, they immediately prepared to go search for them.

However, the higher-ups stopped the youngsters, arguing that the information might be a trap set by Long Chen and Brahma Pill Valley. There were numerous possibilities, they claimed.

Hearing this, the top experts of the junior generation had enough of the higher-ups’ bullshit and nearly rebelled. Despite knowing the dangers of the Endless Desolation, they preferred to face death there rather than waste their youth on a sinking ship.

At that time, hundreds of thousands of disciples declared that the elders would have to kill them to prevent them from leaving.

In the end, the higher-ups had no choice but to concede and let them leave. In truth, Bai Yingxue also wanted to go with them, but she remembered Long Chen’s promise to come, so she waited here. As a result, when Long Chen arrived, nearly all of the younger generation, except for the white dragon race's disciples, had left.

The younger generation of the dragon race had lost faith in their elders As Long Chen put it, the junior generation was far greater than these old fellows, daring to abandon their comfortable lives in pursuit of something greater. It was something that required more than just courage.

The leaders of the dragon race remained silent in the face of Long Chen’s words. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to respond, but they couldn’t. Now, reflecting on their actions, they felt foolish. Perhaps if they had united earlier instead of quarreling, the dragon race would not have fallen so far.

“Dean Long Chen, what do you plan to do now? Or do you have any instructions for us?” asked the white dragon race leader, subtly probing for hints regarding the Dragon Sovereign’s will. Had the Dragon Sovereign left them any instructions?

Long Chen shook his head. “No need to probe me. The Dragon Sovereign is deeply disappointed by your actions. It wanted to say something but ultimately only sighed. You can figure out the rest for yourselves.”

Hearing this, the leaders all quivered, as if a dagger had pierced their hearts. They had failed the Dragon Sovereign, and the weight of their guilt crushed them.

“Dean Long Chen, if the Dragon Sovereign didn’t leave any instructions, do you have any for us? We’ll follow any order, even if it means walking into a sea of fire or grinding our bones to dust,” said the red dragon race leader.

“Even if you order us to immediately attack the Eight Brahma Domains, we will immediately move out. We won’t hesitate!” declared the black dragon race leader.

“We are the sinners of the Dragon Domain. Please give us a chance to atone for our sins. Even if we die in the process, let us do something for the Dragon Domain. Otherwise, we’ll have no face to see our ancestors in the other world!” the other leader pleaded.

The Dragon Sovereign’s sigh was a wake-up call for these leaders. Right now, all they wanted was to do something for the Dragon Domain before they died. They couldn’t continue as they had been.

Long Chen’s heart softened. In truth, these Human Emperors were all brave warriors. He sighed, “Not bad. You’re only foolish, not evil.”

Hearing Long Chen say that, they said bitterly, “That doesn’t sound like praise.”

“I can accept a fool, but I can’t accept an evil person. If you can understand your mistakes, then maybe you still have some value,” Long Chen replied.

The leaders couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. However, they felt relief, sensing Long Chen’s icy demeanor thawing slightly.

Now they realized Long Chen’s true status—he could communicate with the Dragon Sovereign and could be considered its personal disciple. Thinking back to how they had refused to follow him, they felt like fools.

“How long ago did your disciples leave?” asked Long Chen.

“They’ve been gone for five days,” answered the red dragon race leader.

Just thinking about how their disciples had raised their weapons against them just to be allowed to leave, the dragon race leaders didn’t know what to say. They even felt like their disciples had been possessed by a devil ghost for them to act so foolishly.

“Good. Gather your things. We’re going after them,” said Long Chen.

“What do you mean?”

“There’s no longer a reason for the Dragon Domain to exist. Before this, the altar was your hope. Now, those disciples are the hope. They are the future of the Dragon Domain. Do I need to spell it out for you?” Long Chen replied.

“Yes, you’re right!”

The leaders finally understood. With the altar destroyed, their mission was now to ensure the survival and growth of the younger generation. Protecting them was the only way to redeem their sins.

After understanding what Long Chen meant, the dragon race leaders immediately gathered their experts, issuing orders to prepare for departure. The Dragon Domain erupted in uproar. Many of its inhabitants had lived there for generations and were reluctant to leave.

However, even if they were unwilling, they had to follow their race leaders’ orders. Fortunately, the Dragon Domain was home to numerous Ten Thousand Dragon Nests, making the mass migration feasible.

After a day of preparation, the dragon race’s experts stood atop their Ten Thousand Dragon Nests, gazing out at their familiar homeland. Knowing they were leaving and might never return brought tears to their eyes.

Even the race leaders couldn’t help but feel emotional. As they stood there, Long Chen calmly said, “Remember the warriors who bravely entered the Endless Desolation, knowing they had little chance of survival. What kind of emotions did they feel when they left?”

His words stirred the hearts of the dragon race, and they gave the order to move out.

The gold rhino pulled Long Chen's war chariot forward, leading the dragon race’s migration into the Endless Desolation. Countless Ten Thousand Dragon Nests followed behind, and the dragon race began their exodus.

Within the chariot, Long Chen stared up ahead, feeling his blood starting to boil.

“Endless Desolation, I’m coming.”
