"Sea Dragons are five-clawed divine dragons. Among the Dragon Clan, they're considered rather ordinary, but in the Sea Regions, only the Sea Dragon Clan exists. Yet in our Dragon Clan's inherited memories, there are records of seven-clawed Golden Dragons and nine-clawed Primordial Dragons—their bloodlines are much purer and are the true elites of the Dragon Clan."
"By the way, why do you care about all this? It's none of your business, is it? You sure ask a lot of questions. When the Hall Master arrives, if you keep running your mouth, you might get into trouble. You'd better watch yourself!" said the Sea Dragon Hall Grand Elder.
Evan Chu just smiled faintly. He truly admired the Sea Dragon Hall Master’s commanding presence—maybe it was because he was a God-Emperor powerhouse. Thinking of this, Evan felt a faint yearning for greater strength in his heart.
Soon after, the Sea Dragon Hall Master arrived. Once he entered the side hall, the Sea Dragon Hall Grand Elder dismissed everyone outside. Now, only the three of them remained inside.
"Can you speak honestly now? How did you come to the Sea Regions? What is your relationship with the Dragon Clan? And who taught you that clone technique?" The Sea Dragon Hall Master asked bluntly.
"I’m telling the truth. I arrived in the Sea Regions after breaking through a spatial black hole. My ties with the Dragon Clan run deep, but you’d be better off not knowing them—it might get awkward. As for the clone technique, no one taught it to me. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do about it," Evan Chu replied calmly.
The Sea Dragon Hall Master and Grand Elder were both momentarily stunned, staring at Evan Chu as if they could swallow him whole—their gazes were terrifying. But Evan Chu didn’t flinch at all; from beginning to end, he never felt afraid.
"Are you a land-dwelling Dragon Clan member?" the Sea Dragon Hall Master suddenly asked, as if he’d sensed something.
Evan Chu didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he asked, "Does the Hall Master know how to leave the Sea Regions and return to the Mainland? I have important family waiting for me to save them. If I can’t get back in time, they could lose their lives."
"That must be your woman, right? Otherwise you wouldn’t be so anxious. Returning to the Mainland is extremely difficult—unless you can break into another spatial black hole. But spatial black holes in the Sea Regions are almost impossible to open, even for me," the Sea Dragon Hall Master said.
"Is there really no other way? I remember that back in the day, a super expert from the Mainland once appeared in the Sea Regions—but I don’t know how he managed to return," Evan Chu asked.
"You still haven’t answered my question. My patience is limited—you should understand that!" The Sea Dragon Hall Master said, his face showing a hint of displeasure.
Evan Chu glanced at the two of them and smiled. "You really want to know my identity? Aren’t you afraid you’ll regret it?"
"Kid, don’t get cocky. Do you really think your identity could be nobler than our Hall Master’s? If you truly want to return to the Mainland, you’d better tell us the truth—maybe our Hall Master will find a way to help you. Whether it works or not is another story.
But if you still don’t know when to quit, you might not be heading back to the Mainland at all—you’ll probably end up stuck in the Sea Regions forever. And if you do, the only outcome is death," the Sea Dragon Hall Grand Elder couldn’t help but say.
Evan Chu knew that if he didn’t reveal his true identity, he’d definitely run into trouble. If he wanted to leave the Sea Regions, he really needed the Sea Dragon Hall Master’s help. After all, the Hall Master was the strongest in the Sea Regions—his information and power were unmatched. With his help, Evan’s chances would be much better.
With that thought, he stirred his mind, and a powerful dragon aura burst forth from his body, flooding the entire side hall. The Sea Dragon Hall Master and Grand Elder instantly felt their chests tighten, as if they couldn’t breathe.
This dragon aura was formed from bloodline power and had a terrifying suppressive effect. If they fought in the side hall right now, the Sea Dragon Hall Master and Grand Elder’s strength would drop at least one realm—that’s the terror of bloodline might.
Seeing Evan Chu unleash his dragon aura, the two were deeply shocked. Their expressions were exaggerated—they couldn’t believe what they were seeing, as if it was all a dream.
Evan Chu then calmly withdrew his dragon aura and said, "Now do you understand my identity? I told you—if I really revealed who I am, you’d just feel awkward."
"I didn’t expect you really were Dragon Clan—and with such pure bloodline, too. So, tell me, how many claws does your dragon form have? I believe only a seven-clawed dragon could possess such overwhelming dragon might," said the Sea Dragon Hall Master.
"I am the Primordial Dragon incarnate—a true Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon. By our clan’s hierarchy, you should all kneel before me. But since I’ve come to the Sea Regions, there’s no need for that. Maybe you’re wondering why, as the Primordial Dragon, I only have early-stage God-Venerable strength.
Actually, it’s not hard to explain. I’m reincarnated. In the War of the Gods, I fell in battle against Stonehaven, the Demonic Realm’s top powerhouse. This rebirth is for revenge. But I accidentally entered a spatial black hole, and after breaking through, I ended up in the Sea Regions," Evan Chu said.
The Sea Dragon Hall Master and Grand Elder stared at Evan Chu like he was a monster. After a long moment, they said, "We can only half believe your words. If you really are the Primordial Dragon, of course I’ll recognize you as king—the Dragon Clan’s rules cannot be broken. But I hope you’re not lying. Even if you’re a noble dragon, I can still kill you if you deceive us."
"I know. As soon as I reveal my true form, you’ll believe me. But for now, I don’t want to show it. Why would I need to deceive you? Without the Primordial Dragon bloodline, how could I possess such powerful dragon might?
Also, the technique I use—Ninefold Divine-Dragon Metamorphosis—I’ve already reached the sixth transformation. Once I break through to late-stage God-Venerable, I should be able to unleash all nine. You asked how I know the clone technique? That’s your answer.
You Sea Dragons might also have Ninefold Divine-Dragon Metamorphosis, but the number of clones you manifest depends on your bloodline. Basically, the number of dragon claws equals the number of bodies you can create," Evan Chu continued.
"You don’t need to reveal your true form. For a king to come to my Sea Dragon Hall is truly an honor! From now on, the Sea Dragon Hall is yours to command, and I will obey your orders as well. But I must warn you—leaving the Sea Regions is really troublesome!" said the Sea Dragon Hall Master.
"Hall Master, you’re too kind. I’m nowhere near qualified for such a heavy responsibility. If you truly respect me, just treat me as an honored guest of Sea Dragon Hall. That’s enough. Besides, there are some matters I’d like to discuss with you," Evan Chu said.
At that moment, the Sea Dragon Hall Grand Elder’s expression changed and he hurriedly said to Evan Chu, "Please forgive me, King! I didn’t know your true identity—please punish me!"
"Grand Elder, that’s not necessary! Let’s keep my identity secret for now. Let’s just be friends, alright? Later, I’ll introduce another friend to everyone!" Evan Chu said with a laugh. He hadn’t expected that being the Primordial Dragon would make him so revered among the Dragon Clan…
