Chapter 0741: Silver Soul Grass

Although Huang Long concealed it well, Livia could clearly see the flash of disappointment in his eyes. Seeing this, Livia felt a strange pain in her heart.
“Sis, if Huang Long can help our Silver Fox clan seize control of the Hongmeng Continent this time, it will be extremely beneficial for us!” Though Livia knew it was hard to change Ziniya’s decision, she still tried to persuade her.
Of course, what Livia said was true—if Huang Long could help the Silver Fox clan take control of the Hongmeng Continent, it would indeed be highly advantageous for them. First, their status as the weakest among the five great powers would improve, and second, controlling the Hongmeng Continent for 100 million years would bring countless benefits to their development.
Still, Ziniya shook her head and said, “Livia, even if Huang Long can help us seize control of the Hongmeng Continent, it’s still not possible!”
She was well aware of Huang Long’s strength. If he helped the Silver Fox clan, as Livia said, they might indeed have a chance to take control of the continent, but she didn’t dare take such a risk. After all, it meant risking the fate of the entire Silver Fox clan!
What if, after obtaining the Heavenly Cauldron and merging it with the Sacred Cauldron, Huang Long failed to reach the level of a Divine King after 100 million years?! 100 million years was too short—none of them, the powerful Divine Kings, had reached that level without going through countless eras of hardship! Moreover, she didn’t believe Huang Long could reach the Divine King realm without merging with a Divine King’s essence, or possess the strength of a Divine King even after 100 million years!
Even if Huang Long did reach the Divine King realm and become a powerful Divine King, what if he suddenly turned against them, ignoring their kindness and disregarding their fate?!
It was easy to imagine what would happen to the Silver Fox clan if they faced attacks from the 3,000 races of the Hongmeng Continent.
Livia tried to speak again, “Sis!”
Ziniya said firmly, “Livia, no need to say more. I’ve made up my mind!” With that, she turned to Huang Long and said, “Although you possess the World Tree and may become the ruler of the world in the future, I regret that I can’t agree to this request. For other matters, I might be able to help! Please don’t be offended!”
Huang Long might have the World Tree and become the world’s ruler someday, but no one knew when—perhaps in ten eras, a hundred eras, or even ten thousand eras.

But in a hundred million years, if, because of the Heavenly Cauldron, the Silver Fox clan were attacked and besieged by the three thousand races of Hongmeng and destroyed, what use would the Yellow Dragon have for them even if he became the ruler of the world?! As a divine king and leader of the Hongmeng clan, Ziniya was already being very polite by speaking to the Yellow Dragon in such a manner. The Yellow Dragon shook his head and said, “Divine King Ziniya, you’re being too polite. This matter concerns the survival of the Silver Fox clan. I can understand your decision.” What the Yellow Dragon said was sincere; although disappointed by Ziniya’s decision, he held no grudges toward her, as as the leader of the Silver Fox clan, she had to consider their interests. The matter of the Heavenly Cauldron was too important. If it had been something else, Ziniya would never have refused if Livia asked, but it seemed impossible in this case! After learning of Ziniya’s decision, the Yellow Dragon, in low spirits, bid farewell to her and left the Silver Fox clan’s sacred temple. After he left, Livia said to Ziniya, “Sister, is it really impossible?” Seeing Livia’s anxious expression, Ziniya sighed, took her hand, and said, “Sister, I know how you feel about the Yellow Dragon, but I truly can’t do anything about this.” Livia’s expression darkened. “I know you came back to the Hongmeng realm this time to find the Silver Soul Grass and the Heavenly Soul Flower. I’ve already sent people to look for them. I heard there are some leads regarding the Silver Soul Grass. I’ll let you know once it’s confirmed,” Ziniya said with a smile. “There are leads on the Silver Soul Grass?!” Livia raised her head, her gloomy expression lightening. To refine the Xuanhuang Pill, two ingredients were still missing: the Silver Soul Grass and the Heavenly Soul Flower, both of which could only be found in the Hongmeng realm. Livia had thought it would take a long time to find these ingredients, but she was pleased to hear there were already leads on the Silver Soul Grass. “Yes, there are leads,” Ziniya nodded. However, after her joy, Livia’s smile slowly disappeared again. Seeing this, Ziniya sighed, knowing Livia was thinking about the Yellow Dragon again. “Sister, then I’ll go back first!” Livia said. Ziniya could only reply, “Alright. Once we have definite news about the Silver Soul Grass, I’ll inform you. As for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Soul Flower, I’ll have the elders of the Silver Fox clan search thoroughly. Wait for my good news.” Livia nodded in thanks and left the Silver Fox clan’s sacred temple, heading back to her own palace.

Originally, she should have been happy upon hearing news about the Silver Fox Grass, but the matter of the Yellow Dragon prevented her from feeling joy. As she returned to her own palace, Livia kept thinking about the Yellow Dragon issue, yet she could think of no other solutions. Even when the Silver Fox clan spoke up, Ziniya refused to agree, and it was even less likely to work if they sought help from other Hongmeng races. As she walked, Livia frowned deeply, stopped in her tracks, then turned and flew toward a mountain range to the east—there was where the Silver Fox clan had arranged residences for the Yellow Dragon and others. After arriving at the Yellow Dragon’s palace, Livia hesitated for a moment before stepping inside. The Yellow Dragon, who had returned from the sacred temple and was deep in thought about the Heavenly Cauldron, was surprised to see Livia. “I’m sorry!” Livia said softly as she approached. The Yellow Dragon shook his head and said, “You need not blame yourself. You’ve done your best, and I understand the difficulties faced by Goddess Ziniya. I’m not blaming you or her.” Though he said this, Livia still felt uneasy and asked, “So what do you plan to do next?!” The Yellow Dragon pondered for a while and said, “We’ll have to find another way. I’ll leave the Silver Fox Divine Realm tomorrow.” “Leave the Silver Fox Divine Realm?!” Livia was surprised, her beautiful eyes wide. The Yellow Dragon nodded. “Yes.” He then looked at Livia and said, “You don’t need to worry. I believe there will always be a way. Once we obtain the Heavenly Cauldron, we can return to Silver Fox Mountain together.” Yet even he wasn’t sure about this, as seizing the Heavenly Cauldron wasn’t easy. Livia knew he was saying this just to reassure her and said, “I’ll leave the Silver Fox Divine Realm with you.” The Yellow Dragon shook his head and said, “No need. There are less than three years left until the next competition, and there are many matters in the Silver Fox clan that require your attention. I’ll find a way to handle my own affairs!” Before Livia could say anything else, the Yellow Dragon raised his hand and added, “I’ve made up my mind.” Seeing this, Livia could only remain silent.
