Little did he know, this was someone's reminder that he still had a choice.

The Dragon Gate wasn't long, but it took Jiang Yuan several days to cross it. When the magnificent Ancient Dragon Palace came into view, he stopped.

"A million points should be enough!"

Jiang Yuan slowly displayed all the points he had obtained in the Silent Heavenly Ladder. The deaths of the three king legion leaders in the Ninth Heavenly Ladder provided him with more than a million points, and he was now qualified to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool of the Ancient Sea Dragon Palace.

The moment the points appeared, a massive but malevolent aura surged from the seabed, quickly staining the entire ocean red.

The pungent smell of blood filled the seawater, and Jiang Yuan opened his Samsara Heavenly Eye to illuminate a path that could be seen.

The once glorious Ancient Dragon Palace was suddenly shrouded in black mist, and an aura of decay permeated the air, making the entire palace resemble a death palace from the abyss.

"Do you like it? This is your stage!"

Eerie whispers surrounded them, each word carrying profound meaning, like the chanting of gods.

"Dragon Girl, I don't know what grudge you have against Emperor Yu, but you cannot touch my people!"

Jiang Yuan shouted into the void. He knew that the Dragon Girl was there, but her strength was beyond his expectations and he could not sense her.

"Your people?"

A voice rang out, tinged with a hint of mockery, paused for a long time, and then echoed from the abyss: "If one day you had to choose one person from your people, what would you do?"

"Stop pretending!"

Jiang Yuan's divine power surged, and his starry sky-glass arm activated its runes. "Send An Xiaoyu and Leng Yue out!"

The God-Slaying Bow is ready to be unleashed; it has the power to force the 'Dragon Girl' hiding in the shadows to come out.

His words seemed to have an effect. The black seawater surged, and the last figure emerged from the darkness. It was a graceful body covered by dragon armor, but the dark dragon patterns and the abyssal aura completely covered the face, and not a trace of its aura was revealed.

"The Abyss Ancestral Dragon!"

Jiang Yuan was greatly alarmed. He immediately used his Samsara Heavenly Eye to investigate the other party's identity, but the Samsara Heavenly Eye, which had always been invincible, was somewhat blocked at this moment. The information he could obtain was very limited, but it was enough to terrify him.

Abyss Ancestral Dragon (Divine Transformation Realm)

Supreme Godhood – Abyss Godhood, Supreme Godhood – Abyss Godhood.

Divine Fire (Incomplete Form) - Abyss Divine Fire: Ignited by combining eight supreme mysteries with the supreme dragon vein.

The information detected by the Heavenly Eye was extremely terrifying. He did not expect that the inheritance of the Abyss Ancestral Dragon was so comprehensive. It not only had a divine position, but also a divine spark. Even the divine fire that could not be passed down was ignited by the other party.

Moreover, judging from the information on the surface, the ultimate goal of the opponent's Abyss Divine Fire will definitely be the Supreme Divine Fire, because at present, the only one missing from the nine supreme mysteries is the Tide Sound in his hands. Once the nine supreme mysteries are gathered, the Supreme Divine Fire will be a sure thing.

"Human, do you still think you have the right to order me to release them?" The Abyss Ancestral Dragon sneered, his laughter sounding like that of a demon from the abyss.

"So what if you have the appearance of a god? You are only at the Nascent Soul stage, not even a demigod. What do I have to fear?" Jiang Yuan said with burning fighting spirit.

The divine title, divine position, and divine fire only prove that the other party has the potential to become a stable god, but their realm will not change in any way.

You're still just as arrogant as ever!

Instead of being angry, the Abyss Ancestral Dragon laughed as she walked towards Jiang Yuan, saying, "The Sea of ​​Annihilation allows you to leave the battlefield. If you stay, you can stay away from the conflicts of the battlefield."

Many of the sea creatures in the Sea of ​​Annihilation are survivors from the previous battlefield. Although they cannot leave, they are safe enough.

"Are you trying to win me over?" Jiang Yuan frowned, unable to guess the other party's purpose.

"You could say that the ocean floor is very lonely, and having a worthy opponent might relieve a lot of boredom!" the Abyss Ancestral Dragon said quietly.

"Thank you, but I refuse. I just want to get my people back!"

Jiang Yuan shook his head firmly. Even if the Sea of ​​Annihilation could remain unaffected by the battlefield, so what? His path lay in the starry sky, not in this sunless seabed.

"A glance is enough to see each other, yet a step feels like crossing a fortified city. My beloved is separated by mountains and seas, and those mountains and seas cannot be leveled."

The Abyss Ancestral Dragon stopped in her tracks, recalling the events as she spoke, "Don't you understand?"

"The sea has boats to cross, the mountains have roads to traverse. With this love, one can conquer mountains and seas, and level them all," Jiang Yuan replied unhurriedly, then shook his head and said, "You wouldn't understand!"

"I don't understand!"

The once calm Abyss Dragon suddenly became hysterical, roaring, "If I didn't understand, how could you have safely reached the Ancient Sea Dragon Palace? If I didn't understand, why would this deep sea be hiding here!"

"Who exactly are you?" Jiang Yuan sensed the strangeness in the other person's tone.

"Since you say I don't understand, fine, then I hope you do!"

The Abyss Ancestral Dragon waved its hand, and a patch of black mist behind it dispersed, revealing the world inside the clam.

"Now, you have two choices!"

As the Abyss Ancestral Dragon finished speaking, two cages emerged from the darkness, containing two women who were being tortured terribly by the Supreme Mystery.

The Abyss Ancestral Dragon laughed unrestrainedly as it spoke, its two abyssal tentacles gripping the necks of the two women tightly. Then, it said playfully, "Choose one. Who lives depends entirely on your choice!"
