Long Yi took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said, "You will see him later. Now, let's talk about the future of the Dragon God Clan. Are you willing to lead us?"

Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly and did not reply to the question. Instead, he asked, "I'm curious. As far as I know, the Dragon Queen is still alive. Technically, it should be much better to put her on the leadership position. Why would you imprison her and even try to force her to give birth to a new descendant with Long Aotian?"

The five Dragon Ancestors fell silent for a long time. There seemed to be an unspeakable secret behind it.

Finally, Long Yi sighed and said, "It wasn't our intention. This was the only way to protect her from outsiders."

"Can you elaborate on that?" Yun Lintian furrowed his brow in confusion.

"The Dragon Queen is suffering a severe injury," Long Er took the initiative to speak up. "She cannot appear in public or take the lead of the entire clan by herself. Our Dragon God Clan might be one of the most prestigious clans in the Primal Chaos, but it is not without adversaries. We had to announce to the world that she was imprisoned and punished here to tone down the enemy's ulterior motives."

Yun Lintian roughly understood the situation. Although he had never met the Dragon Queen, her strength must be exceptionally strong. It was fine if she was at her peak, but it would be different if the enemy knew that she was injured.

In order to deceive the world, the Dragon Ancestors painted themselves as villains and staged a coup within the clan. With this, everyone would believe that the Dragon Queen was simply imprisoned and her strength was still there.

As long as someone dared to come over, she would be "released" to deal with them. After all, with her status, she would definitely choose the Dragon God Clan no matter how harsh the mistreatment she got from her own kind.

At the same time, it could reduce the prestige of the Dragon God Clan, making it more low- profile.

"But all of you are here. Why would you need to do this?" Yun Lintian asked in doubt.

"Look at us carefully," Long Yi said gently, his aura gradually declining.

Yun Lintian frowned deeply. He finally understood why they were so worried about the safety of the clan. Clearly, all of them didn't have much time left.

The five Dragon Ancestors, despite being True Gods, had long exhausted their vitality and divine energy. In such a bad environment of the current Primal Chaos, it was impossible for them to recover.

At the same time, Yun Lintian noticed an abnormal energy inside their bodies. It was a mixture of the spatial element and the aura of death. It was the first time he had seen such a destructive power inside someone's body.

"During the Primordial War, we fought against Void Creatures and ended up in this state," Long Yi said calmly.

"Void Creatures?" Yun Lintian furrowed his brow. He felt that he had heard this name somewhere before, but he couldn't figure it out.

"They are the creatures that live outside the Primal Chaos," Long Er explained.

Yun Lintian's expression changed slightly. "Outside the Primal Chaos? How did they come here?"

"You should have been told about the Primal Chaos Wall and its instability. Our Primal Chaos grows increasingly unstable over the years, and the chance of the wall crumbling soon is very high," Long Er said solemnly.

"During the Primordial War, the power of the Primordial Gods unleashed was too powerful beyond the capability of the Primal Chaos Wall to contain them together. It caused a crack to the wall and allowed the creatures outside to come in."

Long Er paused for a moment and said, "At that time, we, and the other divine beast clans, joined hands to seal the crack. The Dragon Emperor and the others had lost their power. Some of them lost their memories. The Dragon God Clan was lucky enough to lose a few thousand clansmen. Meanwhile, the other clans were not so fortunate."

"For example, the Divine Phoenix, the Golden Crow, and the Vermilion Bird Clans, they lost almost everyone in their clans in order to destroy the Void Creatures and push them out of the Primal Chaos."

A hint of guilt and regret appeared on the faces of the five Dragon Ancestors.

"The Dragon Emperor had regressed significantly. He spent the last of his draconic power to protect the souls of the Divine Phoenix, the Golden Crow, the Vermilion Bird, the White Tiger, and the Black Turtle, and then took them, including the Dragon Princess, with him to live inside the Divine Realm," Long Er said further.

"He didn't tell us anything about his intention. He only left a word that the True Dragon Emperor would return to the clan one day with the Dragon Princess," Long Yi spoke.

Yun Lintian was immediately enlightened. So this was how the Primordial Azure Dragon God and the others appeared inside the Divine Realm. Moreover, most of them had lost their crucial memories.

"Alas, I don't know what truly happened to Brother Jin and Sister Bing," Long Wu let out a long sigh. His face was filled with regret.

Yun Lintian was curious. "Who are they?" he asked.

"The Golden Qilin God and the Ice Phoenix God," Long Wu said with sorrow. "After the Divine Phoenix, the Golden Crow, and the Vermilion Bird jointly cast the Three Flames Return to Origin, the Void Creatures were stubbornly hanging on the edge of the crack. Brother Jin, Sister Bing, and their clansmen didn't hesitate to push the Void Creatures out of the Primal Chaos together with themselves, giving us the opportunity to seal the crack... Their fate is unknown."

Long Wu was the youngest among the five, and he had a good relationship with the Golden Qilin God and the Ice Phoenix God. He would feel guilty every time he thought of them. He felt as if he was the one who killed them.

Yun Lintian nodded slowly. He didn't expect there were so many sacrifices to safeguard the Primal Chaos.

He looked at them and asked, "I was told that the God of Time was the one who sacrificed himself to stabilize the Primal Chaos. Is it true?"

The five Dragon Ancestors exchanged glances, and Long Yi spoke up. "There is no concrete evidence, but we suspect that he secretly sabotaged the wall, allowing the battle between the Primordial Gods to break it."
