Chapter 163 Jade's Past
The running water from the bathroom was dripping, like a clock counting down, giving people a feeling that something was about to come.
Xu Xingyu forced herself not to fantasize about those unnecessary things and turned her attention back to matters concerning the Emerald Dragon King.
Although the relationship between the two dragons is not very good, there is nothing else to do now, so it is a good opportunity to divert my attention and calm my mood.
Playing with the jade stone in his hand, Xu Xingyu began to recall the past between himself and the Emerald Dragon King.
How should I put it? The relationship between Xu Xingyu's first life, the Starry Dragon King, and the Emerald Dragon King, was a little subtle, right?
Before the birth of the Starry Dragon Emperor, the Dragon God promised the other nine Dragon Kings that the next Dragon God and the position of Dragon Clan Chief would be chosen from among the nine Dragon Kings.
The most powerful competitors are the Light Dragon King and the Emerald Dragon King.
This is not to say that the other Dragon Kings are weaker than the two, but considering their abilities and leadership qualities, the most suitable successor should be chosen between the Light Dragon King and the Emerald Dragon King.
The Emerald Dragon King has always been an ambitious man. He not only has the ability, but also the command and cohesion to serve as a leader.
He had long wanted to become the most powerful being among the dragon clan, and let the dragon clan's light spread forever throughout the universe.
Of course, it wouldn't be a big deal if he lost. After all, he personally admired his rival, the Light Dragon King. After all, everyone was fighting for the future of the dragon clan, and there was no conflict in their ideas.
If the Light Dragon King is chosen in the end he will not have any complaints, but will do his best to assist the other party.
What the Emerald Dragon King didn't expect was that the Dragon God's wife actually gave birth to a child for the Dragon God!
The existence of the Dragon God's Son made the Emerald Dragon King suspect that the so-called declaration of the Dragon God's successor's choice among the nine dragon kings was actually a trick used by the Dragon God to trick people.
Fortunately, in order to appease the nine dragon kings, the Dragon God promised that if his son wanted to inherit the title of Dragon God, he must obtain the approval of the other nine dragon kings before he can have the right of inheritance.
This dispelled the Emerald Dragon King's suspicion of the Dragon God, and he prepared to deal properly with the son of the Dragon God. Although he was still a competitor, with such harsh inheritance conditions, he should not be as threatening as other dragon kings, right?
What the Emerald Dragon King didn't expect was that the talent of the Starry Dragon Emperor, the son of the Dragon God, would be so terrifying!
Not only did he reach the same level of cultivation as other Dragon Kings in just a few thousand years, becoming the strongest combat force second only to the Dragon God, he also used his own weapon-refining skills to create countless artifacts, won over countless beast tribes, and completely established the absolute dominance of the dragon clan over beasts in the future of Douluo Continent.
In addition, the Starry Dragon Emperor is not a very arrogant person. Instead, he is very approachable and the type who would not offend others unless they offend him. This makes him gain the favor of most dragons.
Even the other nine dragon kings directly recognized each other and felt that the Starry Dragon Emperor, as the son of the Dragon God, was the one who should inherit the position of the Dragon God.
This made the Emerald Dragon King feel even more frustrated. After all, even he could not win over so many people's hearts during this period of time. At the same time, the Starry Dragon King's various contributions to the dragon clan also showed his concern for the dragon clan.
And the artifacts he created also represented that he could lead the dragon clan to an unprecedented height.
But the Emerald Dragon King was still a little unwilling to accept the result, and decided to give it one more try to see what the final outcome would be.
Therefore, the Emerald Dragon King became the only Dragon King who did not openly give recognition to the Starry Dragon King.
Despite this, the Starry Dragon King could still see that the Emerald Dragon King had no ill intentions, and both of them were fighting for the future of the dragon clan, so their relationship could not be said to be good at that time, but at least they were still people who could talk to each other.
What really caused the deterioration of their relationship was that the Emerald Dragon King discovered that the Starry Dragon Emperor had no intention of inheriting the throne of Dragon God.
Normally, the Emerald Dragon King should be happy when he knows that his competitor plans to give up the competition.
If there is one less competitor, the possibility of getting promoted will become much higher.
However, the Emerald Dragon King just didn't recognize the Starry Dragon Emperor openly. Secretly, he still admired the Starry Dragon Emperor's talents very much, and believed that the dragon clan would prosper in his hands. At most, the Emerald Dragon King was too embarrassed to say these things directly in front of the other party.
However, after hearing that the Starry Dragon Emperor had no intention of competing for the position of Dragon God, he did not feel relieved as he had felt because of his opponent's withdrawal. Instead, he felt angry!
Because in the eyes of the Emerald Dragon King, that is an act of treating the position of Dragon God as nothing. Even if the Starry Dragon Emperor is the Dragon God's biological son, he cannot have such disrespectful thoughts!
From that day on, the Emerald Dragon King began to confront the Starry Dragon King head-on. Except for some important matters concerning the dragon clan, he would almost always find fault with the Starry Dragon King from time to time.
What the Emerald Dragon King didn't know was that the Starry Dragon Emperor had his own reasons for not being interested in the position of Dragon God.
One reason is that the Starry Dragon Emperor does not want to follow his father’s old path and wants to become a stronger man who surpasses his father.
For this reason, he also spent a lot of energy on the construction of the throne. According to his budget, the structure of the Dragon Emperor throne he used was almost the same as the Dragon God throne after his transformation.
It was simply because the Dragon God had already reached the only realm in the universe, which meant that no matter how the Starry Dragon Emperor practiced, he would never be able to reach the same level as the Dragon God.
The only way is to inherit the throne of Dragon God directly from him.
But the Starry Dragon Emperor did not want to do so, not only because it would give him the impression that he was overly dependent on his father, but also another reason, which was also the most important reason, was that he suspected that the Dragon God would die after he inherited the throne.
This does not mean that the Dragon God will die immediately after passing on the throne, but that the Dragon God will find a place to end his life after sending the throne away.
Having accompanied the Dragon God for so many years, the Starry Dragon Emperor could see that the Dragon God was very much in love with the mother he had never met.
The Dragon God's longing for his wife has become a demon in his heart, and as a result, he has begun to have some suicidal thoughts.
The Starry Dragon Emperor did not want to lose his father just like that, so all he could do was to delay the Dragon God as much as possible from choosing his successor.
However, the Starry Dragon Emperor did not discuss this matter with any of the Dragon Kings, because no one would believe that the indomitable Dragon God would actually seek death for his wife.
