Chapter 364 The Chaos Begins, Pingyi Is Confused
Zu She suddenly smiled, and her slightly pale face was covered with a smile that made Zu Long want to throw him into the eyes of the water. Zu She smiled and said:
"My requirements are not high. There should be snake tribes within these four seas."
Zu Long frowned when he heard this and said in a deep voice:
"Only the four seas? All races need you, why are you staring at my four seas?"
Zu Snake just said this calmly, which made Zu Long almost helpless. He smiled and said:
"Whoever comes to me proactively is naturally the one who most desires my help and is the most tolerant of my requests."
When Zulong heard this, he just picked up the tea cup quietly and said nothing. Seeing this, Zulong also took the initiative to retreat and stopped teasing the person in front of him.
The reason why Ancestral Snake only takes the survival rights of the Snake Clan in the Four Seas is that this alliance can only provide him with this. As for what he said before, it is just a deliberate mischief.
The Phoenix Clan and Xuanwu Clan have it, and the Snake Clan now has it. If they ask for resources, they may not agree. The Snake Clan is not short of these three melons and two dates.
Instead of cutting off flesh and blood from future allies, it is better to take the opportunity to ask for something that is not obvious for a while, but may be particularly important in the future.
Different living environments may bring different possibilities to the Snake Clan, and different evolutionary directions will allow the Snake Clan to still have a glimmer of hope after going through countless calamities.
As Ancestral Snake and Sky Snake left happily, the aura of impending storm in the ancient wilderness became stronger. Ancestral Snake Tian Snake had just returned to the clan, and Tian Snake couldn't help but ask:
"Brother, why do we only need so much this time? Now that the Dragon Clan is asking for something from us, we should at least let them return the Soaring Snake Clan back!"
Ancestor Snake just rolled his eyes at Tian Snake and said:
"The Soaring Snake clan is now entangled in karma, and they have long been dragons. If we bring them back, what's the use besides causing chaos to the clan?"
"And whether he still recognizes me as his ancestor is yet to be determined. Forcibly taking it back will only trigger conflicts with the Dragon Clan."
"Besides, today's Snake Clan does not lack the combat power of the Soaring Snake Clan, but it is now an indispensable part of the Dragon Clan."
"The four seas are extremely rich. We cannot give up the benefits of the four seas just for some trivial gains. We must take a longer view. This harvest is enough."
"If we want more, the cooperation will inevitably have twists and turns. Be more restrained today and take more when the interests are divided in the future."
"The way to perseverance is to give and give. There are so many golden things in the Dragon Clan, and they also need to be in charge of the scales."
The heavenly snake screamed and said in surprise:
"Brother, I accept what you said before. After all, it is for the future, but why do you want to give up the position of the leader of scale armor to the Dragon Clan? Their current strength is not as good as ours!"
Zu Snake suddenly felt a little headache, but he still opened his mouth to explain:
"The leader of the scales is just a false name. What I, the snake clan, want is the continuation of the race, not unattainable luck."
"Although luck can speed up your practice, is it really that useful to the continuation of the race?"
"The scale armor clan is different from birds and beasts. The dragon clan's advantage over us is not as great as that of the phoenix and unicorn over the birds and beasts."
"In terms of birth time, among the Scale Armor Clan, we were undoubtedly born earlier. The Dragon Clan is just a rising star."
"But look at the twists and turns they have gone through and the tribulations we have gone through, are they comparable?"
"We don't need the position of the leader of scale armor. What we need is that within the scale armor clan, we can be ranked second at any time, and it is enough that the so-called leader of scale armor cannot suppress us!"
"The first one dies first. If the Dragon Clan wants to take the top spot, just let them sit. Anyway, we are not afraid of the Dragon Clan, and their righteousness cannot overwhelm us."
"When there is a change in the ancient world, the Dragon Clan is at the top and sits in the first place. If they don't rise above anyone, they can't really just sit back and watch the Dragon Clan's destruction."
"You have to know that with the Dragon Clan around, all actions against the Scale Armor Clan will take priority over the Dragon Clan, and all risks will be borne by the Dragon Clan."
"Without the Dragon Clan, all the disturbances will only be directed at us. The fight between dragons and snakes has been around since ancient times, but you have never seen them actually fighting."
"Qinglong was poisoned by you back then. Didn't I easily agree to detoxify it in the end? Take a longer-term view. The continuation of the race is more important and valuable than the temporary glory."
"Just like this time, Zulong also knows that I will definitely help him, but he also knows that he will be blackmailed by me. The two of us were just going through the motions before."
"Perhaps the only thing that surprised him is that I don't want resources and treasures, but I want to ask him for the world."
When Ancestor Snake said this, the smile on his face became even brighter, and even the headache he had before was gone, which made Tian Snake curse in his belly.
Ancestor Snake had no intention of explaining, and just asked:
"We always have to do something when we take advantage of others. It is we, the Snake Clan, who have started this great chaos in humanity!"
"The natural barrier of Shishui Gorge should also be returned to our clan. If we can capture this place, we can connect with the southeastern country in the future."
"We also need to take it down at Wanhualing. Only in this way can we keep the enemy out of the natural dangers. Otherwise, foreign invaders can go straight into the hinterland of our clan."
"Although the front lines in these two places are long, their national strength is average. Although they can achieve certain gains in a short period of time, it is actually a long-term war."
"Remember not to seek quick victory in these two areas. You have to maintain the war situation. After opening other battlefields and destroying a few small countries to build momentum, you have to stay dormant."
"We only need to stir up chaos, and someone will come out later. When the prehistoric era is completely chaotic, it will be the time to truly expand."
Tian Snake nodded, and was about to go out to arrange the war, but was stopped by Ancestor Snake, who then ordered:
"The upper limit of the realm of those who participate in the war is Daluo Jinxian. If no quasi-sage takes the lead, we will never be the first to take action."
"Especially for you, it's best not to take action. Your poison is too powerful. Once you take action, there will be no chance of recovery. You must proceed with caution."
Tian She just hummed, indicating that he would leave in a hurry after writing it down. The clansmen have long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and restraint is already in their nature. The eldest brother's worry is too cautious.
Zu Snake just sighed deeply at this. Naturally, he was not worried that his tribe would disobey his orders. What he was worried about was that foreign tribes were also plotting against him. If the people below him were not aware for a moment, they would inevitably fall into a trap.
If the conflict escalates by then, it may be difficult to stop, and chaos will inevitably ensue, but the intensity should gradually increase.
If the upper limit is raised to quasi-sage at the beginning, it will end up being a fight between several big clans, and this is exactly what Zu She wants to avoid.
Ancestral Snake never dared to underestimate any race in the ancient world, and there was no shortage of smart people in the ancient world. People who were overconfident would often suffer the most painful blows.
Ancestor Snake does not want one day that he and the Snake Clan will become stepping stones for others to advance, because the stepping stones will only end up being stepped into the dirt.
Yunmengze and Pingyi were filled with melancholy at this time. Ever since the new heavenly rules were promulgated that there should be no love between humans and gods, he had restrained himself a lot.
But his nature longed for love, and he couldn't bear it, so he became entangled with a goddess from Wushan downstream of Yunmengze.
There are many similarities between the two, and the goddess is still able to control the wind and clouds. The two often meet in the clouds and mists in the mountains, playing and playing in the glow of the sky.
Neither of them has a lifespan limit, and their behavior is extremely tacit. However, after Pingyi expressed his love to her, she was rejected by the goddess.
This made Pingyi puzzled. He asked the goddess, wanting to know why the other party rejected his love. Did he not believe in his loyalty to love? Or are you unhappy with him?
But I never thought that the goddess would say:
"Pingyi, I have been with you for so long, so I naturally believe in your loyalty to love, and we get along very harmoniously. Our laughter spreads throughout the mountains and forests, so naturally we are extremely happy."
Pingyi asked in confusion:
"Since we are so happy together, you believe in my loyalty to love, and there is no conflict between us, then why are you unwilling to accept my love?"
"Is it possible that our past happiness was just false and that you didn't actually love me?"
The goddess shook her head and said:
"Pingyi, of course I love you, and our past happiness was not false. As for why I don't want to accept your love, it's because I long for the road more than illusory love."

Hearing this, Pingyi was extremely excited and said:
"The road is naturally extremely beautiful and worthy of what you and I desire, but how can you say that the love between us is illusory?"
"What I can give you is eternal love. It is never illusory. It is something you can see and touch."
As he spoke, Pingyi held the goddess's hand tightly, placed it on his heart, and continued to speak:
"You are not a beauty made of jade, and I believe your heart is not cold either. I believe you can also feel how hot the heart that loves you is."
"Its beating is so clear, full of endless vitality, it is filled with love, and it longs for eternal love with you."
In response to this, the goddess gently pulled out her hand, facing Pingyi's affectionate confession, she still shook her head and refused:
"Sorry, Pingyi, I can feel the hidden love in your heart, as turbulent as the sea, but I can no longer give my heart to you. My heart has long been placed on the road."
"You gave me your loving heart, but it's unfair to both you and me that I can't repay you the same love."
The goddess's words were so decisive that Pingyi felt as if her heart was broken. However, facing her true love, Pingyi still made her last effort:
"Love and the road are not in conflict, right? On the road of pursuing the road, we can be very happy if we move forward hand in hand."
A teardrop fell from the corner of the goddess's eyes, but there was a smile on her face. Although she was full of sourness and sorrow, the goddess still insisted:
"No, it's not like that, Pingyi, your love is too beautiful and hot. It makes me addicted to it and I can't extricate myself. It makes me want to leave everything behind and embrace you forever."
The goddess slowly embraced Pingyi in her arms, buried her head in Pingyi's chest, and murmured in a low voice:
"Bingyi, I really love you very much. I am even willing to give up my life for you, but I believe that your love for me is even more passionate than mine."
"In the face of your ardent love, I will be in pain if I am even slightly distracted, but I still long for the road. The love with you makes me happy and painful."
"So I'm sorry, Pingyi, although I can't accept your love, you have to believe that I still love you."
"Compared to the selfish me, you should pursue a love that can really give up everything for you. I just hope that you can come to visit me often before you find that love."
"If one day, you find that love, even if Pingyi forgets me, I won't blame Pingyi. I will only bless you silently, secretly in the corner where you can't see."
"That's enough."
The goddess hugged Pingyi tightly, her tears wet Pingyi's chest. When Pingyi seemed at a loss, she gently pushed him to the ground and kissed him.
Pingyi fell to the ground, his body stiff, not knowing how to deal with himself, but the goddess did not stop. In this sky full of red maple leaves, she took off their clothes.
The goddess's passionate love made Pingyi fascinated. Some blood was stained on the red maple leaves. The two were naked and hugged each other tightly.
It was not until dawn that the goddess got up and left. Pingyi held her hand tightly, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.
Seeing Pingyi like this, the goddess smiled and said:
"I will always wait for you in this Wushan Mountain, and my love for you will never change. As long as you are willing to look back, I will always be there."
"But, I'm sorry, Pingyi, my heart has always been occupied by the road, and I can't respond to your wholehearted love."
"Go and pursue love, wholehearted love, Pingyi, I will not be a rope that binds you, you are always free."
After the goddess finished speaking, she exerted a little force, broke free from Pingyi's palm, and walked into the depths of the forest, leaving Pingyi alone.
Afterwards, Pingyi returned to Yunmengze, tossing and turning, and often went to Wushan to look for the goddess. As he said, she never left.
The goddess was always happy when Pingyi came to find her, and she was even more indulgent towards Pingyi. They could continue to play and frolic among the flowers and kiss under the moonlight.
But the goddess always rejected Pingyi's repeated love. I'm afraid that the change between before and after was that the goddess would always be more gentle and doting on him only after Pingyi expressed his love.
Pingyi was confused at this time. He wanted to go to Wushan to find the goddess, but he didn't know how to make her change her mind and accept his love.
Pingyi even delayed the alchemy because of this, and he was entangled in this matter.
P S: I wish you a happy new year, with someone who loves you so much, who will respond to your love without asking for anything.
I added 5,000 points for the reward from my friend haruki z, and I hope he will be prosperous in the new year.
Last sentence, please give me a monthly ticket, a reward, and a happy new year to everyone! (End of this chapter)
