Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1992

"Please, don’t call it a sacrifice. We were merely defending our territory—our home," the Holy Dragon Emperor said solemnly.

Yuan’s expression turned awkward, guilt flickering in his eyes.

"Even so… it’s a fact that the Celestial Emperor attacked because I activated the teleportation device. You wouldn’t have needed to do such a thing if I didn’t show up."

The Holy Dragon Emperor shook his head and said, "Your appearance here, as well as the teleportation device’s activation, is Dragon Goddess Yeyou’s will, and as the Holy Dragon Clan, it’s our duty to fulfill her will, regardless of its cost. I allowed anyone who didn’t want to die a chance to leave, but nobody took the offer. That’s all I have to say on this matter."

Yuan fell silent to ponder.

Eventually, he said, "Can you gather every member of the Holy Dragon Clan for me as soon as possible?"

"What are you trying to do?" The Holy Dragon Emperor raised his eyebrows.

"You’ll find out soon."

The Holy Dragon Emperor no longer questioned it and followed his instructions.

Shortly after, the remaining members of the Holy Dragon Clan—now reduced to a mere quarter of their former number—gathered before Yuan in solemn silence.

"Thank you for gathering here on such short notice, and while you’re busy. However, I want to do something for you before I leave," said Yuan before retrieving the Dragon God’s Vengeance.

"Yeyou, can you say something to them? If it weren’t for their efforts, I wouldn’t have been able to return to the Nine Heavens peacefully," he said to it.

"D-Did he just…?"

"Yeah… I heard it…"

Besides the Holy Dragon Emperor and some of their top members, nobody knew about Yuan being the Immortal Monarch or that Dragon Goddess Yeyou was resting inside the Dragon God’s Vengeance.

"Haaa…"

A soft sigh resounded from the spear before it emitted a profound glow.

In the very next moment, Dragon Goddess Yeyou appeared before them in her human form.

"T-That’s—!"

Even without needing her to introduce herself, the members of the Holy Dragon Clan immediately knew her identity.

Realizing that they were before the one and only Dragon Goddess Yeyou, everyone there kowtowed before her.
