Chapter 573: South Dragon Island Volunteers to Surrender!

The elite from East Dragon Island, standing behind Qingshan and Zi Yan, were overjoyed when they saw their fellow dragons from West Dragon Island willingly return to the clan. This was something they had waited hundreds of years for.

“Everyone, rise.”

Zi Yan opened her arms and spoke slowly, her voice still carrying a sense of authority.

Hearing her words, the dragons of West Dragon Island finally stood up one by one.

Zi Yan hadn’t expected the trip to West Dragon Island to go so smoothly. She hadn’t needed to fight at all—everyone from West Dragon Island had surrendered peacefully.

In her heart, the actions of the West Dragon King earned him a lot of credit. His cooperation greatly reduced casualties among the clan.

After subduing West Dragon Island, Zi Yan didn’t rush to take action against South or North Dragon Island.

Given the current momentum, it was only a matter of time before the other two islands returned as well. With the West Dragon King already submitting, the South and North Dragon Kings simply couldn’t stir up any real trouble.

Zi Yan’s plan was to move West Dragon Island over to East Dragon Island and merge the two.

With this in mind, she immediately issued her order.

“Great Elder, arrange for our people to prepare to move the dragon island. We’ll merge the two islands together!” Zi Yan said to Qingshan.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Qingshan answered respectfully and quickly began carrying out her command.

The relocation of West Dragon Island went extremely smoothly. The cooperation between the ancient dragons of both islands even accelerated the integration of their clans.

After seven days, East and West Dragon Islands were completely joined. The newly merged island was twice as large as before, now appearing in the dark void.

During this process, news of the merger reached the ancient dragons on South and North Dragon Islands as well.

…

On South Dragon Island, as soon as many ancient dragons learned that West Dragon Island had merged with the Dragon Emperor at East Dragon Island, their hearts began to waver.

“Did you hear? The new Dragon Emperor of East Dragon Island has awakened the ancient Dragon Phoenix bloodline and reached the peak of three-star Dou Saint—she’s already halfway into the four-star realm!”

“She’s so young, yet her cultivation is already so high. Her future is limitless. Even the West Dragon King surrendered without a fight when faced with the Dragon Emperor’s army!”

“But the reason West Dragon Island surrendered wasn’t fear of the Dragon Emperor’s strength. It was her kindness. The Dragon Emperor said that anyone who surrenders will be forgiven for the past. Even those with major offenses just need to serve some time, then they can rejoin the clan!”

“If that’s the case, why don’t we also surrender to the Dragon Emperor? The dragon clan has been divided for too long—it’s time to reunite. Under the new Dragon Emperor, our Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan will surely regain its ancient glory!”

Even before Zi Yan arrived to subdue them, about thirty to forty percent of the ancient dragons on South Dragon Island were already considering surrendering to her.

The South Dragon King couldn’t stop this trend. Although he was frustrated by the West Dragon King’s quick surrender, after carefully analyzing the situation, he realized that resistance was pointless under these circumstances.

Once Zi Yan and Qingshan worked together to defeat him, the rest of the ancient dragons on South Dragon Island would still surrender to Zi Yan, the new Dragon Emperor.

In reality, after the death of Elder Lieshan, South Dragon Island’s strength was much weaker than West Dragon Island’s. West Dragon Island still had two two-star Dou Saints left, but South Dragon Island’s only two-star Dou Saint had died on East Dragon Island.

“It seems there’s nothing I can do now but follow Zhuxi’s example,” the South Dragon King sighed heavily inside a grand hall, still badly wounded and not yet recovered.

The next moment, the South Dragon King left the hall and appeared in the sky above South Dragon Island.

“All clansmen, hear me! From today, I am no longer the Dragon King. The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan recognizes only the Dragon Emperor. South Dragon Island will immediately migrate to East Dragon Island. I hope for the understanding and forgiveness of the Dragon Emperor and the clan over there!”

The South Dragon King’s voice echoed across the sky. Below, countless ancient dragons of South Dragon Island erupted in cheers.

At last, the moment they had long hoped for was finally coming true.

Soon, several experts from South Dragon Island stepped forward to take on the main task of moving the island.

With the efforts of many powerful dragons, the massive South Dragon Island began to move rapidly toward East Dragon Island.

Within two days, news of West Dragon Island’s surrender had already reached the distant North Dragon Island.

After hearing what happened, the ancient dragons on North Dragon Island reacted just like those on South Dragon Island. Sensing the changing times, most hoped North Dragon Island would also merge with East Dragon Island.

However, the North Dragon King did not feel the same way.

After being the Dragon Emperor for hundreds of years, the North Dragon King couldn’t stand the idea of living under someone else’s rule. He knew perfectly well what he had done over the years.

The division of the dragon clan and the conflicts between the ancient dragons had all been instigated by him. Qingshan of East Dragon Island knew this clearly, so the North Dragon King didn’t believe Zi Yan and Qingshan would truly forgive him if he surrendered.

“No, the idiot West Dragon King has already surrendered to East Dragon Island, and the South Dragon King will probably do the same.”

The North Dragon King’s face was grim as he thought things over.

He realized that if he didn’t believe Zi Yan’s promise of forgiveness, he could escape into the void and hide forever, never letting the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan find him again.

But that would mean living as a turtle in a shell for the rest of his life, branded as a traitor by the entire clan.

Trying to evacuate all of North Dragon Island was impossible. Such a huge move would be quickly discovered, and the dragons were not all united. Many already wanted to submit to the Dragon Emperor, and even some elders came to persuade the North Dragon King.

“No, I can’t just sit and wait for death!”

After much thought, the North Dragon King decided to first spread some false information across the island to rally those against merging the islands. At the same time, he secretly began constructing a formation inside a hidden grand hall on North Dragon Island.
