As the current patriarch of the Dragon Clan, Jiang Fengzi's feelings at this moment were indescribably complicated.
During his tenure, the entire Dragon Clan was wiped out. It could be said that he became the first clan leader to lose his clan. As a result, what was originally a minor injury turned into a sudden attack of anger and grief, and he collapsed because he couldn't catch his breath.
Half a month later, Jiang Fengzi gradually woke up from his coma.
The moment he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was that thin figure. If the person hadn't spoken, he really wouldn't have recognized that the person was his beloved daughter, Jiang Jinyu.
"Daughter..."
Jiang Fengzi spoke weakly.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Jinyu, who had been living in constant fear, immediately had tears well up in her clear eyes. "Father..."
She burst into tears and knelt down beside Jiang Fengzi with a thud.
"Good child, you've suffered these past few days." Jiang Fengzi reached out and ruffled Jiang Jinyu's hair, his heart full of tenderness. "Tell me, where have those extraterrestrial demons fought to? Is it the Great Qin Domain or the Divine Domain?"
The first thing he did upon waking was to ask about the current situation; he was still worried about it.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinyu was taken aback at first. After choking up twice, she slowly said, "They should have reached the Eastern Divine Continent. The Divine Realm and the Great Qin Realm have already fallen."
"What?" Jiang Fengzi's eyes widened suddenly, and he tried to sit up abruptly.
He had been unconscious for too long and had no strength left in his body. He was only slightly agitated, his face flushed, and he swallowed hard. His weak body had no energy left.
He murmured subconsciously, "How could this be... how could this be? Could it be that my dragon race truly has no hope of revival?"
How long has it been? Nearly two-thirds of the Great Thousand World has already fallen. In other words, during the time he was unconscious, nearly one-third of the territory he had gained was lost.
At that moment, Jiang Fengzi revealed an expression even more unsightly than crying.
"Father is useless..."
"No... I have good news to tell Father. Uncle Jing from the Great Thousand Pavilion has a solution. He told me personally that as long as the Great Thousand World can hold out for a year, a spirit will descend upon the world after that year," Jiang Jinyu said hurriedly.
Jiang Fengzi naturally didn't believe it. He thought it was just nonsense to fool children. He sighed deeply, his face looking dejected.
At this moment, Jing Mu walked in from outside the door. "Jinyu, you can go out first. I have some things to say to your father."
Jiang Jinyu glanced at Jiang Fengzi with some concern. Only after the latter nodded slightly to her did she get up and walk out. As she passed Jiang Fengzi, she bowed slightly as a greeting.
"Thank you for your hard work these past few days."
Seeing Jing Mu aging rapidly, his already pale hair now making him look even older, Jiang Fengzi felt a pang of sadness.
Jing Mu brought over an embroidered stool, sat down beside Jiang Fengzi, and said softly, "In just one month, nearly a third of the Great Thousand Worlds has fallen. How can I not be anxious?"
"I heard that they've already reached the Eastern Divine Continent?" Jiang Fengzi asked.
The Eastern Divine Continent is already considered a power within the Nine Provinces Continent, located in its heartland. To attack the Eastern Divine Continent, in a sense, it can be said that the operation to protect the Great Thousand World has completely failed.
Jing Mu nodded, but his enthusiasm was still burning, and he said, "We only need to wait a year, and after a year..."
"Don't try to fool me with those childish tricks. Tell me, what conditions did you reach with the extraterrestrial demons?"
Jiang Fengzi knew that if this continued, the entire Nine Provinces Continent would be wiped out, becoming a vassal of the extraterrestrial demons, or even unable to survive at all.
The only way to survive was to negotiate with them.
"What kind of person do you take me for, Jing Mu?" As if someone had stepped on his tail, Jing Mu jumped up immediately, his expression changing drastically.
Having just experienced a dramatic emotional shift, Jiang Fengzi was now able to calmly accept everything. He chuckled softly and said, "I understand. The old system of the Dragon Clan, the Great Qin Domain, and the Divine Domain—ruling across the river—is not bad."
At this point, his tone softened.
“I’m not blaming you. After all, given your position, this is the only decision you can make. If we really fight to the death with those extraterrestrial demons, the last spark of that great world will be extinguished.”
"Now, although we are in a subordinate position, we are fortunate to have grasped the last hope of the Great Thousand World. By the way, to be fair, we must protect one person: Zhou Mu. I have a feeling that as long as this kid is here, the Great Thousand World will not be destroyed and will regain its glory sooner or later."
If Jing Mu was initially prepared to refute, then when Jiang Fengzi mentioned Zhou Mu, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "You also think that Zhou Mu is a promising talent?"
Jiang Fengzi spared no praise for Zhou Mu, and after saying a lot of nice things, Jing Mu's face became even brighter.
This piqued Jiang Fengzi's curiosity. "What are you laughing at?"
“Didn’t I say before that I would let the Great Thousand World hold out for one last year? The purpose was to give Zhou Mu time to accumulate,” Jing Mu said.
Jiang Fengzi said, "Should we give him some to accumulate?"
At this point, he froze, seemingly in disbelief. "You mean, what you said earlier wasn't a lie, but the truth, and you've placed all your hopes on Zhou Mu?"
Seeing that Jiang Fengzi had spoken up himself, Jing Mu nodded with a smile and said softly, "That's right, exactly. This kid has always brought us surprises. Do you still remember Lord Long Kui?"
"I remember, the previous Grand Master of the Great Thousand Pavilion was a demigod. If he had been a few more years, he might have become the second Spirit God in the history of the Great Thousand World..."
At this point, Jiang Fengzi suddenly realized something was amiss and quickly said, "Why are you suddenly bringing up Lord Long? You are..."
At this point, Jiang Fengzi suddenly froze.
Immediately, a slight shock appeared on their faces, "Could it be that Lord Long Kui has appeared?"
"That's right, it was Zhou Mu who made it."
Jing Mu smiled, stood up, brought over a cup of hot tea, drank it all in one gulp, and then continued, "Although I don't know how he did it, Lord Long Kui really did appear, so we still have hope, and the world still has hope."
"Right now, Lord Long Kui is overseeing the eighteen-person plan, which can be considered a double insurance. Of course, the most important thing now is time, so we need to find a way to create some chaos within the extraterrestrial demons to buy us time."
"What do you need me to do?" Jiang Fengzi asked, his brows furrowing immediately.
