Faced with the dragon's mockery.

Xiu Yuan exclaimed frantically, "I saw it! And I saw it very clearly. It's the Dragon Spirit Seed, ranked second after the Divine Spirit Seed!"

"Human, you're asking for death!"

Having recently suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Divine Race and been imprisoned in Dragon Valley, the Dragon Race now had its wounds ripped open in front of it, enraging the Dragon Race before it.

The dragon spirits who were secretly observing were also filled with shame and indignation.

How dare you, a weak human, mock a dragon?!

"Heh, as long as you're not number one, no one has the right to laugh at anyone else. Don't you want to take revenge on the Divine Race? I have a plan."

Xiu Yuan suppressed his fear.

Upon hearing this, the dragon spirit paused, its raised giant claw.

It communicated telepathically with the dragon spirits lurking in the shadows.

The other dragon spirits also wanted to see what kind of nonsense this human could spout; if he didn't satisfy them, they could kill him later.

"Tell me your plan. If it doesn't satisfy me, you know what will happen..."

A pair of dragon eyes stared intently at the tiny Xiu Yuan.

So Xiuyuan nervously recounted his crazy plan.

The dragon spirit before him went from disdain to seriousness, and finally to shock.

Even the dragon spirits lurking in the shadows were terrified by this insane plan.

However, after hearing about the plan, they felt eager to try it out.

"Hahaha! Interesting! So interesting! I never thought that the lowest-ranking humans would dare to play like this. Aren't you afraid of facing utter destruction? Aren't you afraid that the gods will attack your race?"

"You humans cannot withstand the wrath of the gods."

"Dragon Spirit Seed asked."

"Humanity has nothing left to lose, what do you think of this plan?"

Xiu Yuan clenched his fingers.

The dragon spirit appeared deep in thought, but in reality, it was conversing with all the other dragon spirits.

Finally, a conclusion was reached.

That means agreeing!

The Dragon Spirit Seed will not lose anything in this transaction. If the plan succeeds, it will be a counterattack against the God Spirit Seed. If the plan fails, it will not bear any responsibility.

The risk is entirely borne by humans.

They, the Dragon Spirits, only need to watch the show from the shadows, like an audience member hiding behind a curtain.

"We agreed, so what do you want to trade?"

"Dragon Spirit Seed asked."

Xiu Yuan uttered a shocking statement: "I want your Dragon Spirit race's innate skill—the Language of Dragons—to be bestowed upon us humans."

"What!"

The dragon spirit was furious.

"Human, are you playing us for a fool?!"

“I’m serious! How can I execute the plan without power? How can you expect a return without making some investment?”

Xiu Yuan said.

"Besides, I'm not asking you to grant it permanently."

"oh?"

The dragon spirit narrowed its eyes slightly, signaling the other party to continue.

"You only need to grant us humans the language of dragons for three hundred years. Since you can't leave Dragon Valley during this time anyway, why not use that money to invest in us humans?"

Xiu Yuan pointed out the root cause of the problem.

After a moment of contemplation and a brief exchange with the other members of their race, the Dragon Spirit said, “We can bestow the Dragon Language talent upon you humans, but you humans must also offer something in return.”

"Aren't we humans taking enough risks in our plans?"

Xiu Yuan angrily rebuked him.

"Not enough, that's two different things."

"But we humans have nothing to trade."

Xiu Yuan lowered his head, looking pitiful.

"This is not something we're considering. Think about your bargaining chips."

The Dragon Spirit Seed showed no sign of backing down.

Xiu Yuan tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, forcing himself to feign anger: "Then I'll exchange the lifespan limit of the entire human race!"

Long Lingzhong's expression changed, and he looked at Xiu Yuan with a serious expression.

"Are you serious? Can you represent your entire tribe?"

"Of course, I had already convinced everyone before I came."

Xiu Yuan nodded.

"Hahaha! That's crazy! Your human spirit deserves our respect, Dragon Spirit Race!"

"Alright, as you said, we'll trade the maximum lifespan of your race!"

The dragon spirit agreed.

The next instant, a colossal golden dragon emerged from the depths of Dragon Valley.

The other dragon spirits also appeared one by one, bowing their heads in respect to the golden dragon.

The terrifying pressure was directed at Xiu Yuan, but it was withdrawn by the golden dragon before it reached him.

"Interesting human, I admire you."

"As a reward, I will not take away your lifespan limit."

"Contract drafted!"

The golden dragon's eyes shone with golden light, like the sun.

Suddenly, a massive magic circle appeared in the air.

Within moments, a small magic circle appeared beneath the feet of all the dragon spirits and all the humans.

"You humans have a lifespan limit of three hundred years, so in exchange, we Dragon Spirits will take your lifespan limit of two hundred years, and the contract term will be three hundred years!"

At the same time, all the dragon spirits and humans instantly understood the contents of the contract of the magic circle beneath their feet.

Now all that's needed is for all the dragon spirits and all humans to agree before this exchange contract can be successfully activated.

If even one person refuses, the exchange agreement will fail.

Therefore, the Dragon Spirit Seed had previously asked Xiu Yuan if he could represent his entire race.

There's no problem with the Dragon Spirit race. The golden dragon Ramsas is the absolute ruler, and his word represents everything for the Dragon Spirit race.

On the human side, Xiu Yuan had already communicated with everyone beforehand.

Now, faced with the suddenly appearing magic circle, all of humanity knew the contents of the contract, and they agreed without hesitation.

It's just a lifespan limit of two hundred years. Nowadays, humans are said to live to be two hundred years old. If you can live peacefully for forty or fifty years, you're considered lucky.

Rather than struggling to live for decades and then being taken away by an accident, it would be better to exchange it for power so that humanity has the ability to protect itself.

With both sides agreeing, the magic circle was activated instantly.

The contract is complete!

Instantly, a series of introductions to the talents and abilities of the Dragon Language appeared in the minds of all humans.

Xiu Yuan was overjoyed; the first step had been completed.

There's no need to use the dragon spirits in front of us anymore, but now is not the time; humanity doesn't yet have the resources to compete with them.

Just wait and see. For the rise of humanity, I will use everything at my disposal.

Whether it's a dragon spirit or a god spirit, they will all be stepping stones for humanity's rise to the heavens.

Human weakness is about to become a thing of the past.

Riding the wind, I yearn to grasp the bright moon; beyond the nine heavens, I survey the four directions.

"The contract is complete; we await humanity's performance."

Ramsus's eyes gleamed. The battle with the gods had humiliated him, so he didn't mind using humans to scheme against them.

If humanity succeeds, then three hundred years from now will be the moment when the Dragon Spirits raise their swords once again.

One day, the Dragon Spirit Seed will bring down the Divine Spirit Seed from its high position.

Ramsas thought so.

"Then please look forward to it..."

Xiu Yuan said calmly.

He added the second half of the sentence in his mind.

I look forward to your defeat, and I look forward to the human race ascending to the top.

He would give anything for this, and he would fight for the future of humanity.

Xiu Yuan, with his plans in mind, left Dragon Valley and headed to his next destination.
