The Chaos Dragon Prince

In the Huang Dragon Imperial Palace, days swiftly passed. 

A particular, intense atmosphere now permeated their younger generation. 

Even though Cain's group has a very high chance to lead them to glory, these Huang Dragons naturally didn't want to become wastes. They all poured even more of their all into cultivation, hoping they themselves could break past seemingly unbreakable bottlenecks. 

As for Cain, Kali, and Amber, they all diligently cultivated, gradually consolidating their foundation to perfection.

On this day, in the Imperial Halls, Huang Dai and Xun were slowly roaming through it, their expressions lost in ponderance. 

Truthfully, they both were walking on autopilot, having been perfectly familiar with roaming the royal halls. This deep ponderance state started just a mere couple of days ago. 

They have received incredibly troubling orders that set off indescribable waves in their Martial Hearts.

With their pride, they had the intention to argue back against this order. However, because it was from their grandmother, neither of them dared to showcase even the slightest expression of discontentment. 

These two may be geniuses among geniuses, able to deal with stressful cultivation situations, but this order left them greatly helplessly. 

And the closer they arrived at their destination, the bigger the strain on their Martial Hearts.

It even got to a point where Huang Dai exasperatedly sighed, unable to hold in his turbulent emotions. 

He drearily said, "I know it may be late to ask but have you still not come up with anything to deal with those three? I can only feel all our routes will end up awkwardly."

On Huang Xun's face, her calm, pondering expression barely rippled. She certainly heard Dai's question but didn't have any reasonable answers at the moment. 

She could only lightly sigh, her brows furrowing just slightly. "I am still warped with confusion even after a couple of days. You should know I am only profound with matters of history, cultivation, politics, and the environment. Personal emotions…it is too unfamiliar. This test from grandmother, it is indeed difficult."

Just days ago, both Huang Dai and Xun were fervently cultivating with a new invigorated drive. 

They may have been so crushingly surpassed by their younger siblings and Cain's lover, but it didn't mean they would just roll over and accept it.

They and all other Royal descendants have their own forged Martial Hearts. Their Dragon Pride will always be unwilling to submit and accept such immense changes without even fighting back.

With this new drive, it was possible they all could discover some new, profound insights on their cultivation. 

However, for Huang Dai and Xun, this all changed by one simple order form Shi Wei.

She directly told them to use opportunities to mend their sibling relationship with Cain and Kali. And their first task would be taking them down to get tested on their combat prowess.

Left with no other choices, Huang Dai and Xun could only silently accept. 

And now that they were treading the halls to directly speak with Cain and Kali after a considerable amount of times, how could their emotions not be in an uproar?

To how Cain's group would perform, their past dealings with them, and their new status, neither Huand Dai nor Xun clearly knew how to proceed. 

"Haaah. Damn, just how mysterious fate is for this to happen? All we simply wanted was their Dragon Charms and never bother with them again. But now…haah…"

Huang Dai honestly couldn't stop sighing with considerable lament. 

In his eyes, he had only attached moderate importance to Cain and Kali because of their Dragon Charms, not really caring how much their lives were affected. These feelings were simply bred into him ever since he was born. 

The God Galaxies realm's number one fact and rule that dictates the whole universe is absolute strength prevails above all. Without, it wasn't strange for these cultivators to consider mortals as nothing but weeds of grass.

After all, with the immersable amount of people inhabiting the God Galaxies, how could anyone have the attention to put in care for groups of mortals? 

Moreover, many Martial cultivators and World Spirit Masters alike pursued the mysterious long goal of eternal life. 

Even if the average cultivator goal wasn't eternal life, one would still dream of reaching a high enough boundary as possible, increasing their life spans until finally settling down.

To achieve this, their competition with the Heavens and each other is intensely fierce to the point most are walking on a thin tightrope of life and death. 

Without strength, talent and perseverance, just why should any God Galaxies cultivators care about mortal lives?

Their paths are far too thorny, filled with immeasurable danger to care. 

So though Huang Dai, their parents, the Dragon Elders, or even other Holy Lands and Martial families' attitudes seem cold, it was simply the standard norm etched deeply into their Martial Hearts.

Although, that isn't to say Martial cultivators or World Spirit Masters aren't swayed by emotions. 

In fact, because God Galaxies inhabit an extreme set of beliefs in themselves, creating powerful Martial Hearts, emotions, and carnal desires can burn far more intensely than any Mortal.

And this especially holds true for intimate feelings as they could imprint themselves deep into the Soul. 

But when considering the specialties of God Galaxies' inhabits feelings and emotions, it is not very common one would directly go out of their way to form connections without any benefit.

Thus leading to Huang Dai and Xun's current, awkward predicament. 

As she heard fate so causally flow out of Huang Dai's mouth, Huang Xun's eyes glinted as if she came upon a tiny realization.

"What use is there blaming fate or luck? This situation has spiraled all-out control. The best we can do is act accordingly and don't mention the past. In any case, Cain seems at least reasonable to talk to compared to Kali. At least he isn't openly provoking us."

Huang Dai wanted to speak more, but his and Xun's footstep soon came to a stop.

  Narrowing his eyes at the door in front of them, he slowly said, "Ah… we're here." 

A small moment of silence fell between them.

Tension subtly arose within them, but Huang Xun quickly pushed it down. Keeping her beautiful face unwaveringly calm, she gently knocked on the door. 

After only a moment of the first tap, the door swiftly flung open, revealing a calm-looking Cain. 

For a period of a moment that seemed to last minutes, Cain, Xun, and Dai all matched gazes. 

Cain's pitch-black eyes carried a faint sense of intrigue and indifference as if he was expecting this situation but didn't care about it much. 

As for Dai and Xun, neither could accordingly suppress themselves.

Emotions upon emotions rapidly flashed within their eyes. Right before them was the same cultivation waste that took the most important resources from all of them. 

This waste should've never made any waves, only to fade away as a dark sheep in their glorious family history. 

He was never supposed to surpass them! 

But now…all they can do is lower their heads and put on amicable expressions.

Thinking about it and actually accepting reality were two entirely different points that only now Huang Dai and Xun were now understanding. 

But before either of them could speak, an ice-cold voice slithered into their ears.

"Oh? Dai and Xun? What do the average ones that never receive more attention than even Jaolong want from us?" 

In that instance, Kali and Amber showed up shoulder to shoulder with Cain. 

Amber simply kept a small, causal smile, showcasing neither overbearing nor servility.

While Kali outright gave a cold, sneering smirk. Her words, as per usual, cut right into their minds. Her disdainful tone aimed to instantly rile them up without a single care for consequences.

And for Huang Dai, she received the intended effect. 

"Average ones? Inferior to Jaolong?" Huang Dai's tone gradually raised octaves. "Tch! Must you be so damn a-"

"Please. Let's not." 

Huang Xun promptly interrupted Dai, flinging her wrist while never taking her eyes off Cain. The solemness in her eyes was perfectly conveyed.

Cain lightly smiled, understanding her intentions. In any case, provoking does neither of them good, and they obviously had more important matters to attend to.

"I suppose it would be just a waste of time. So let's get straight to the point, right?" Cain's tone was utterly indifferent, treating both Xun and Dai at the same level as him.

But with just this, Kali and Dai lightly snorted, not bothering to continue the worthless banter. 

Taking the opportunity, Huang Xun continues to say, "Grandmother is summoning you three. Today, you all will undergo the illusion killing array to judge your combat prowess. Not just her, several others, including us, will be there."

"Oh? Why didn't grandmother just call for us instead of you two?" Though she calmed a bit, there still was a trace of disdain in Kali's tone. Her sneering smile had only slightly decreased as well.

Huang Xun ignored her attitude, replying with, "Grandmother says, they all too busy at this moment. Moreover, since you haven't been down there before, she wants us to show you the way."

"Is that right?" Cain quickly glanced over to Amber and Kali. 

With a slight yawn, Amber shrugged, "You already know I have no complaints with this kind of test. Thought, don't expect something so heaven-defying from me."

"Hmph. Since it's decided, let's get on with it already." Kali haughtily crossed her arms. 

And at her words, Huang Dai and Xun turned over, walking back through the royal halls with Cain's group following right behind.

As they strolled, the only sounds were their feet clanking against the divine Qi metal floors. 

The silence ensured for numerous reasons. 

Amber was never talkative in the first place. To her, meeting others puts a considerable mental drain, so she rather not bother unless they specifically come up to her. 

As for her thoughts on the Royal descendants, they were mainly indifferent. She simply didn't know much enough to form solid opinions. 

Kali was expectantly silent as her intense dislike for her siblings never waned. If not for her inferior cultivation, she would have already taken actions into her own hands instead of mere provocation.

As for Cain, he was in genuine thought. Truthfully, beyond his own surging battle intent, Cain didn't feel much about his siblings. 

The previous owner of this body has mixed feelings about them. But to Cain, they both were practically strangers. 

And because of this, he was contemplating the usefulness they could provide. 

'Gaining actual friendship in this universe is a bit too time-consuming. I have no desire for this. But, gaining them as allies is equally as useful…'

At the very least, having them as allies was far better than enemies. They can't hide under Shi Wei's protections forever, or even that long for that matters. 

And when situations become challenging, it would do good to have allies to genuinely trust.

Thinking of this, Cain came to a decision and asked, "So, what should we expect from this array? Obviously, you two are experienced in this." 

Knitting his brows closely, Huang Dai managed to answer in an honest one,  "You can expect phantoms of wild Spirit Monsters and Martial cultivators. At the first level, the terrain is a barren field, allowing you ample movement to move around. Later levels will change according to your combat prowess."

"I see…so? What results did you two get?" Cain curiously asked, wanting to honestly know the difference between him and these Dragons. 

This time, Huang Xun answered, traces of pride mixing within her tone. "At the Innate Lord Realm, we could contend with Late Stages without any problems." 

Greatly impressive for even God Galaxies standards, but just barely enough in Kali's eyes.

"Oh? That's it? Hehe…" With only a mysterious chuckle, Kali remained silent.

At this, Huang Dai and even Xun inwardly snorted in their hearts.. They will gladly see with their own eyes just how massive their potential supposedly is.
