Chapter 1421: Chapter 1421: The 10-Year Pact

Luo Lan’s eyes flickered with a hint of brilliance. There was no doubt that Lan Xuanyu’s response satisfied him, even exceeding his expectations.

The stance was affirmative, yet it was not blindly made. Instead, the first thought was about resolving conflicts, which showcased an incredibly steady mindset.

“I am eighty percent confident. If you can ensure your advancement to that level within a short period, the Leader will also support you. After all, surviving is far more important than control. But how do you intend to convince the Leader?”

Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath and said, “Through actual actions. Could I ask you and the Second Seat to communicate with the Leader on my behalf? If, within ten years, I fail to achieve certain results in cultivation, allowing you to see hope, then let the Leader deal with me. However, if within that time I can make you see hope, I would ask for your unconditional support.”

“Ten years? Such a short time, you can…” Luo Lan began, but his expression instantly turned odd. He suddenly realized that it had only been a little over a year since Lan’s appearance. Compared to his previous timeframe, ten years truly wasn’t long.

Lan Xuanyu continued, “Of course, if during this time our Dragon Clan fully supports my cultivation, I would be more confident. Although the Leader has surpassed three thousand five hundred years of age, I believe he should still be able to wait ten more years.”

Luo Lan took a deep breath and nodded. “If that’s the case, we can indeed try. But within ten years, to what extent do you plan to impress the Leader?”

Lan Xuanyu responded without hesitation, “Within ten years, I will officially become a Dragon Knight. If I fail, I will be at the mercy of the Leader and the Second Seat, without complaint.”

Luo Lan’s eyes sharpened. Ten years to achieve the status of Dragon Knight? That meant within ten years, he must break through to Super God Level.

Although the cultivation speed of the Dragon Clan is much faster than other races, reaching Ultra Divine is an incredibly arduous endeavor. If Lan truly accomplished what he declared within ten years, then perhaps all the Dragon Knights would choose to support “her.” They would naturally see the hope for “her” to achieve the status of God King.

“Won’t ten years be too short? Can you really do it?” Luo Lan asked hesitantly.

Lan Xuanyu replied, “I can’t say I’m one hundred percent certain, but I can feel the evolution brought about by this tribulation. I should have a chance—a very strong chance. Besides, if I ask for more than ten years, the Leader might not agree…”

Luo Lan took a deep breath and responded, “Lan, you must understand that this is a gamble with your own life at stake. In fact, there’s another possibility: you could contribute your bloodline to the clan for research. Although it might not succeed, there’s a slight chance. That way, you could still live on, albeit as an ordinary Dragon Clan member.”

Lan Xuanyu resolutely said, “Lord Luo Lan, I’d never choose that path. First of all, no one can take away my bloodline. If they could, they would have done it long ago on the Ascending Dragon Platform when I bled. Secondly, I can always detonate my own bloodline without any issues. If they sought to take my bloodline, I’d rather go down fighting. I survived that terrifying lightning tribulation, essentially dying once already. There’s nothing left for me to fear in this world. At worst, I’ll die. But as a member of the Dragon Clan, I sincerely desire to fight for our people once. If we can establish the Divine Realm, our Dragon Clan can truly transcend mortal constraints and achieve immortality, becoming the rightful dominators of this world. I ask for Lord Luo Lan’s approval.”

As he spoke, he bowed deeply.

“Very well, giving you ten years—why not?” A calm voice suddenly broke in. In a flash of light and shadow, two figures materialized in the air—it was none other than the Sky Dragon Leader and Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang, the Second Seat.

The Sky Dragon Leader’s face was expressionless, but Zhong Zhichang wore a faintly pleased smile.

“Leader? Second Seat?” Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu hurriedly bowed once more.

The Sky Dragon Leader’s gaze was indifferent as he looked at Lan Xuanyu. “Remember what you said today: ten years to achieve the status of a genuine Dragon Knight. If you succeed, the position of Leader will be yours, and the entire clan will support you wholeheartedly. If you fail, then offer up your bloodline willingly.”

“Yes.” Lan Xuanyu immediately responded, without the slightest hesitation.

Ten years to achieve Super God Level—did he have the confidence? Yes, to some extent. The full awakening of the Dragon God’s bloodline had removed all barriers in his cultivation journey. Although he hadn’t yet thoroughly explored his transformation, he could already sense distinct changes within himself. Just as he had sensed the divine consciousness of the Leader and Second Seat lingering over the area earlier.

Those words he had just spoken—more than they were intended for Luo Lan—they were meant for these two prominent figures.

When Luo Lan discussed the history of the Dragon Clan and the challenges of longevity, Lan Xuanyu had already realized that within the Dragon Clan, no one would truly support him, nor openly oppose him. If he displayed sufficient strength, then all of the Dragon Clan would back him; if he proved mediocre, even those previously supportive would turn against him.

Thus, he had used those words to secure himself ten years. If, after ten years, he couldn’t reach Super God Level? Then he’d flee. Escape ahead of time was always an option.

After ten years, even Dragon Knights might not be able to catch him.

The Sky Dragon Leader and Dawn Dragon Knight exchanged a glance. Zhong Zhichang gave a slight nod, and the Sky Dragon Leader said, “So be it. In the upcoming period, we may face a war. You can choose whether or not to participate. Prioritize your cultivation above all. The Dragon Realm is open to you. You may go to Sky Dragon City at any time and request any Dragon Knight to escort you there. Regarding your breakthrough today, I’ve issued orders to completely seal off this information. The news won’t leave Sky Dragon Planet. Should you need resources for cultivation, speak with Luo Lan. This includes Heavenly Nourished Crystal Stones; all resources will be available for you.”

“Having just broken through, and under such circumstances, I suggest you enter closed-door training again to stabilize your state, and then consider advancing further. You’ve only just acquired divine consciousness and Divine Power. Everything is just beginning—an initial sorting is most critical. Once sorted, you’ll determine how far your talent can take you. Don’t let us down!”

“Understood, thank you, Leader.” Listening to the Sky Dragon Leader’s words, Lan Xuanyu realized that he had barely met expectations.

But what was this war the Sky Dragon Leader mentioned?

Indeed, his closed-door training had lasted far too long. The entire time, he had remained within the confines of the Sky Dragon Pavilion, and with deep meditation, he had been completely unaware of any external developments. He needed to quickly learn what had transpired in the outside world; otherwise, he risked falling into passivity.

“Do your best,” the Sky Dragon Leader said nonchalantly. In the next instant, he vanished into thin air.

In the pavilion, only Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu remained, along with the Dawn Dragon Knight and Moke Dragon Knight.

Zhong Zhichang smiled as he nodded at Lan Xuanyu, saying, “Very good. You haven’t disappointed me. At no point should you lose your fighting spirit. The only one who can truly help you is yourself. We are merely external forces. These forces will assist you when needed, but they won’t dictate your fate. Ten years—we believe in you. Only by creating miracles can you let us see real hope.”
