Primordial: I, Dijun, Only Want to Build the Great Desolation-Chapter 891 - 528: Zu Xun’s Opposition and Shaohao’s Protection
If you wish to obtain something, you must first give something.
Under the persistent efforts of Shaohao, the Human Race’s Lord, the dragon and phoenix became the totems of the Human Clan, enjoying the clan’s merits and fortune.
At the same time, Shaohao continuously proclaimed among the Human Clan that the dragon and phoenix as their totems could protect the creatures of the clan and should naturally enjoy its merits and fortune.
Shaohao elevated the status of the dragon and phoenix among the Human Clan, informing its creatures that if they faced unsolvable problems, they could seek assistance from the dragon and phoenix clans.
For a time, the dragon and phoenix clans were at the zenith within the Human Clan and even in the Primordial, many creatures knew that the Human Clan held the dragon and phoenix in high esteem.
In this scenario, the Dragon Ancestor and Phoenix Clan Ancestor even felt as if they had returned to the days when the Primordial was divided among three.
Back then, the treatment enjoyed by the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin within the Primordial even surpassed the current situation within the Human Clan.
However, they saw a glimmer of hope for their clans’ prosperity within this, though they could not see clearly, always feeling as if it were a dream or illusion.
They vaguely sensed that something was amiss, yet could not pinpoint where the issue lay; everything seemed perfectly normal.
After enjoying the Human Clan’s fortune and merits, the luck of their own clans did indeed rise, and the clans truly gained new vitality.
Everything proved that Shaohao, whom they supported, was indeed reciprocating the two clans, proving their initial choice was not wrong.
However, whether it was the Phoenix Clan Ancestor or Dragon Ancestor, the feeling of something being amiss persisted in their hearts, yet they could find nothing wrong.
The two even contacted each other, realizing that they both shared this feeling, and became vigilant.
However, no matter what, they couldn’t uncover the reason behind this feeling.
The reverence the Human Clan had for the dragon and phoenix as totems was certainly a great thing.
Neither Dragon Ancestor nor Phoenix Clan Ancestor found anything amiss in this regard, so they shifted their focus to seeking other reasons.
But still, they came up empty-handed.
They even thought of the Qilin Clan, considering that back then, all three clans prospered and declined simultaneously; now that the dragon and phoenix clans were resurging, the Qilin Clan might feel jealousy.
However, upon investigation, there was no connection to the Qilin Clan.
After continuous deliberation and investigation, they finally set their sights on Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.
Only a Saint could leave no trace for them to detect.
Yet, why would Demon Ancestor Luo Hou be unwilling to let the dragon and phoenix clans go?
The Dragon Ancestor and Phoenix Clan Ancestor couldn’t understand.
If Demon Ancestor Luo Hou knew the old ancestors of the dragon and phoenix clans attributed everything to him, he would undoubtedly remind them of how he once instigated the three clans’ war and wreaked havoc in the Primordial.
Regarding their own suspicions, the dragon and phoenix clans’ ancestors admonished their descendants not to stir up trouble heedlessly.
The descendants of the dragon and phoenix clans adhered to this, not flaunting their fame even within the Human Clan.
They even truly acted as Shaohao proclaimed, helping the Human Clan handle various issues, showing their divine presence everywhere.
They believed they were the totems of the Human Clan, holding such great prestige within it, so naturally needed to maintain this prestige.
Indeed, such grand renown needs to be maintained, especially that of the dragon and phoenix clans, both of which mysteriously became rivals.
Meanwhile, Shaohao facilitated the situation from behind, continually declaring how the dragon clan creatures helped the Human Clan solve many difficulties, while also proclaiming the phoenix clan’s many contributions.
He even intentionally fostered a sense of competition between the two clans.
Confronted with this scenario, the dragon and phoenix clans showcased their Divine Skills, lest they be overtaken by the other, with their clan’s prestige within the Human Clan overshadowed by their counterpart.
Shaohao maintained the balance between the two clans, knowing this competitive spirit must be kept within certain bounds.
Such balance benefits the Human Clan, and likewise benefits both dragon and phoenix clans.
Yet once the balance is lost, their rivalry might escalate into conflict, leading to irreparable loss.
Do not assume that with dragon and phoenix clashing, the Human Clan can reap any benefits.
The current Human Clan does not possess such strength; even with the sages in the Fire Cloud Cave, Shaohao would not need to act in such a manner.
It should be known that if dragon and phoenix truly clash, tracing back to the roots, it will inevitably involve the Human Clan.
At that point, the Human Clan would inevitably suffer calamity.
So, if Shaohao wants to employ the dragon and phoenix clans, he must grasp the degree within.
In Shaohao’s view, luckily, the dragon and phoenix clans are burdened by their renown, thus they can be controlled by it.
Perhaps these two clans have been suppressed for too long, yearning to restore their fame, making them more controllable than imagined.
Originally, he planned to leverage his identity as Human Race’s Lord combined with the dragon and phoenix’s fame within the Human Clan to request the clans to perform certain actions.
It now seems unnecessary; maintaining the balance between them suffices.
However, Shaohao did not merely control the balance of fame between the dragon and phoenix clans.
Beneath the guise of the dragon and phoenix clans’ fame, the various tribes and forces within the Human Clan had their own undercurrents.
They initially had their own tribes, but now could only integrate into the Human Clan Ancestral Land.
