Chapter 287: Disagreement and Discord

Both the Skylight Flower and the Divine Pure Grass had their own lifespans. Once they died, they would not grow again. They were not like wild grass, which could only grow after being properly nurtured.
This was the fundamental reason why the Alliance of Gods had been unable to expand on a large scale.
Furthermore, none of the races in the alliance were selfless. They all had their own demands. For example, the Skylight Flower and the Divine Pure Grass, which were essential and precious resources, were all hidden away. No one would take them out to trade.
This led to the alliance being very powerful, but in reality, its power was also very scattered.
Unless it was related to everyone’s core interests, the alliance would rarely be able to work together.
Of course, if they encountered a softie, they could naturally work together. After all, everyone wanted to squeeze a little at this time and see if they could squeeze out some profit.
“Come, let’s go down and see what’s so special about this human king that he dares to ignore the dignity of the Giant Dragon!”
Herast’s wings flapped, and he let out a dragon’s roar that resounded through the sky.
When the Giant Dragons that were spewing fire heard this dragon’s roar, they all stopped their actions and gathered together. The three Giant Dragons that came behind Herast’s were monstrous in size.
Then, Herast swooped down and landed outside the borders of the Kingdom of Dawn.
“I am the Elder of the Dragon Race’s Red Dragon race, Herast. Human king, why haven’t you come out to pay your respects? Are you trying to ignore the dignity of the dragons?”
The voice shook the world. Even though the border was very far from the city of dawn, it still reached Li Xiang’s ears without any hindrance.
Li Xiang curled the corner of his mouth and said, “These guys are used to being high and mighty. They thought that they would be valued and treated well wherever they went, but now they are ignored by us. I guess they have a belly full of anger. When they vent their anger, they might even show us their power!”
A helpless look flashed across Yafei’s eyes. In fact, if it was her, her actions would not be much better than these red dragons.
Night Light smiled and said, “The dragons are the favored children of Heaven and earth. It’s normal for them to be proud and arrogant. If we don’t go over now, these guys will have a mental breakdown!”
Li Xiang laughed loudly.
“Then let’s go! Let’s see what these Giant Dragons are here for. It’s not enough for me to guess. It’s probably related to our newly obtained secret realm. However, this secret realm might not have much value, but the Skylight Flower and Divine Pure Grass that grow in the secret realm are extremely precious. No matter what conditions the other party puts forward, we won’t agree to them. In that case, the final result would still be a hostile relationship. In the future, this might be our enemy. You all have to pay attention to it.”
“Yes!”
Hearing this, Alice and the others’ expressions became a little more serious as they solemnly memorized it in their hearts.
Following that, Li Xiang activated the teleportation array and instantly arrived at the border.
Separated by the system barrier and the starlight canopy, there was a group of Giant Dragons that were tens of meters tall looking down at everyone from above.
These dragons were all huge in size. Even though there was a protective barrier between them, they could still feel an inexplicable pressure.
When Herast saw the group of people teleporting over, his gaze immediately fell on the leader, Li Xiang.
“You are the master of this country?”
Li Xiang waved his hand, and a chair appeared behind him. After he slowly sat down, he did not even raise his head and said indifferently, “All of you dragons, what brings you here?”
Seeing that Li Xiang pretended to be deaf and dumb, yet had an incomparably arrogant appearance, fury flashed in the eyes of Herast and the great dragons behind him.
This was the first time they had been treated so arrogantly and rudely.
“Human King, you are too rude and arrogant. You dare to treat the great dragons like this. In the future, it will bring disaster to all of you!”
“Oh? Then let’s talk about it in the future! First, tell us why you attacked us for no reason!”
Herast snorted coldly. His body flashed with light, and his body instantly shrank into the form of a human youth. He was dressed in crimson armor, and behind him was a blood-red cape. He looked very mighty.
“Human, hand over the Skylight Flower and Divine Pure Grass from your secret realm and submit to the Giant Dragon race. The Dragon Race is willing to provide protection for you!”
Li Xiang immediately understood when he heard this.
However, the condition that the dragon offered was like a joke.
“Offer, submit, protection?”
“That’s right!”
Herast, who had transformed into a human, looked extremely confident, he looked at Li Xiang with a deep gaze and said, “You have offended the Alliance of Gods. Other than the dragon race, no other race is willing to protect you. This is the best opportunity for you.”
Li Xiang bluntly rejected, “I don’t know about the humans in other places, but the humans in the Kingdom of Dawn are self-reliant. They won’t become the vassals of any power, nor do they need the protection of any power. If there’s nothing else, please leave!”
Herast sneered, “Human, don’t tell me that you think that you have the strength to fight against the Alliance of Gods just because you have embarrassed the Alliance of Gods last time? Let me tell you, that little bit of power is not even the tip of the iceberg in the alliance. At most, it is just a small amount of power mobilized by the three-eyed race and the Beast race. As long as you submit to the Giant Dragon race, my race can guarantee that the alliance will not pursue the matter of you fighting against the alliance.”
Li Xiang sighed softly, stood up and went to the front of the barrier, he looked at the dragon youth across from him and said, “Sir, don’t you understand what I mean? What I mean is, the humans of the Kingdom of Dawn don’t rely on the heavens or the earth, and they don’t want to rely on anyone. They only want to rely on themselves. Therefore, they don’t need anyone’s protection, and they won’t submit to anyone. Do you understand?”
“So you’re planning to reject the friendship of the Dragon race?”
“Bullsh*t friendship! Are you here for friendship? You’re just here for the Skylight Flower and the Divine Pure Grass. You see that you can’t get what you want by force, so you’re just threatening and bribing them. Your words are better than your singing, but the things you do are worse than animals!”
“You are courting death!”
Herast’s eyes were almost spitting fire.
If it were not for the fact that this barrier could not be broken, he really wanted to rush in and burn this arrogant human king into ashes.
“Then let’s make a deal. Whatever you want, no matter what treasure it is, as long as you say it, we will be able to get it, as long as you are willing to trade the Skylight Flower and the Divine Pure Grass!”
“There’s no need! Since we’ve offended the Dragon race, then we’ll just offend them to the end. You don’t have to count on these two resources. Use whatever means you have!”
Originally, Li Xiang didn’t want to become enemies with the Dragon race either. However, from the previous exchange and attitude, he didn’t even have the right to have an equal conversation, so there was naturally nothing to talk about.
As the future Star Lord, the current Lord of Dawn, how could Li Xiang bow and scrape to other factions?
“Good! Since you’re so stubborn, let’s wait for the black tide to come and the Dragons shall take it themselves! Let’s go!”
Herast could also see that this human race’s ruler would not budge. There was no point in staying here, so he left swiftly.
However, when the Dragons left, they looked at Li Xiang with malice. It could be imagined that there would be a battle between the humans and the Dragons in the future.
