The Dragon Emperor had thought that even if the Spirit Controller discovered him, at most, he himself would be killed, and his descendants from the Dragon Race had already left this place and gone to a new world. As long as they were free, it didn't matter if he died. As long as his Dragon Race did not perish, he could die with his eyes closed. But when he saw that Golden Dragon appear, all his strength vanished. Was this the power of a Universal Law Enforcer? It was a realm utterly beyond his understanding.

Following the appearance of that first Golden Dragon, the first group of Dragons that had entered the spatial rift all emerged one after another. All the Dragons were initially excited, but when they felt the familiar sensation of the Patrolling Celestial World and saw everything around them, they were stunned. They couldn't understand what had happened. Had they come to a world that was exactly like the one they had left?

But how could that be possible? Even if there were two similar worlds, they couldn't be this identical, could they? After more than eight thousand members of the Dragon Race appeared, they all raced around in a frenzy. Soon, every single one of them wore a face of despair and unwillingness because they had fully confirmed that they had never actually left; this was still the place they had always been. After its initial shock, the Golden Dragon began to investigate its surroundings and eventually saw the Dragon Emperor, who had transformed into human form and was kneeling on the ground.

The Golden Dragon quickly transformed into human form as well and strode over to the Dragon Emperor's side. "My lord, what exactly is going on? Why have we returned here?" The Dragon Emperor's somewhat dull eyes flashed with a painfully troubled look as he spoke, "We've been deceived. Those people were just deceiving us. They were using our Dragon Race to test the presence of Universal Law Enforcers. We're finished, the Dragon Race is finished."

The Golden Dragon, upon hearing the Dragon Emperor's words, was also in disbelief. But then, it suddenly turned around and saw that person enveloped in a sphere of azure light. When that person seemed to sense something and glanced over lightly, the Golden Dragon immediately felt as if its soul had been struck hard, sending it into a bout of dizziness.

Then, the second group of Dragons who had entered the spatial rift also appeared. Just like the first group, they went from excitement to confusion, and when they realized they had returned to the Patrolling Celestial World, they felt a deep despair. The Dragon Emperor witnessed all of this, and the pain in his heart was gradually replaced by rage. The esteemed Dragon Race, at this moment, was being toyed with as if mere playthings, although the perpetrator was a Universal Law Enforcer, with unfathomably powerful strength, the dignity of the Dragon Race was not to be tarnished.

Feeling the flames of anger and battle intent rising from within the Dragon Emperor, Long Lie, the Golden Dragon at his side felt as though a blaze had sparked within its own chest. However, the Dragon Emperor did not act rashly, for there was still a sliver of hope in his heart, however faint it might be. And when the third group, wrapped in the Golden Light of his own dragon blood, appeared, Long Lie's last thread of hope was utterly shattered.

At that moment, inside the Dragon Valley, more than thirty thousand members of the Dragon Race all wore faces of despair, looking at the vast spatial rift, unsure of what to do. Long Lie's mood had since calmed down, for he had prepared for the worst when he decided to act. He couldn't fully trust those people, but as the Dragon Emperor, he had no other choice. If he didn't seize this opportunity for a gamble, he would never be able to leave this place in his lifetime.

A man knows his own circumstances best. Although the Dragon Emperor, Long Lie, was half a step into the Realm of Domain Lords, it was the limit of what he could achieve. If nothing unexpected happened, he would never be able to take that half-step, which is why he had long since resolved to succeed or die trying. And it turned out, he had lost. He had lost from the very beginning because what he thought was a gamble was just a trap set by others. More than thirty thousand of his clanspeople had become mere guinea pigs and cannon fodder.

"Long Lie, Heaven has the virtue of good life, we do not wish to slaughter needlessly. Now, you have two choices," the azure light person said with a mocking tone. "First, you can fight me; if you win, it will be as if nothing has happened. If you lose, you will submit to my disposal. Second, strip the Dragon Race of its Divine Skills and Spiritual Wisdom, reducing them to common Ferocious Beasts."

Although Long Lie had become very calm by now, his chest heaved violently upon hearing the Spirit Controller's words. If you're not strong enough, you're at the mercy of others, whether you're a dragon or a worm. If you're not as powerful as I am, then I can dispose of you at will. This is the basic rule of this Fang Universe: survival of the fittest, strength is everything. To Long Lie, the two choices offered by the Spirit Controller didn't make much difference, for he would undoubtedly choose the first.

Of course, it wasn't for the condition he was promised—that everything would be as if nothing had happened—but rather the latter. He lost and left himself at the mercy of the Spirit Controller. Of course, this disposal might end in death, but what was certain was that the tens of thousands of Dragon Race descendants would be unharmed. After all, from the beginning to the end, Long Lie didn't explain anything to those Dragon Race individuals, only telling them he was leading them to another world to plunder treasure. The despair that showed on their faces when they realized they had not left the Patrolling Celestial World was because they believed they were unworthy to leave that place.

In fact, the truth that the Patrolling Celestial World was a prison was known only to the three Golden Dragons and Long Lie himself. Therefore, Long Lie's plan was to sacrifice himself and the three Golden Dragons to ensure the survival of all Dragon Race members. Also, Long Lie knew something else, and it was because of this knowledge that he truly believed that the Spirit Controller would not commit a massacre. This point was also the fundamental reason why Long Lie agreed to the group's demands.

If successful, he could lead the Dragon Race to a new life of freedom. If he failed, the worst outcome would be the death of himself and the three Golden Dragons—four individuals in the know—and perhaps some other clansmen would be implicated, but the Dragon Race would certainly not be exterminated. Especially after the Qingguang (light blue energy) Spirit Controller offered him that choice, a hint of a smile even appeared on Long Lie's face. At the same time, his heart also relaxed.

"Clan Leader of the Dragon Race, Long Lie, seeks guidance from the honorable Law Enforcer!" Long Lie slowly stood up, and after giving an order to the Golden Dragons beside him to calm the other members of the Dragon Race, he said solemnly to the Qingguang Spirit Controller. To the uninformed spectator, it really seemed as if a junior was seeking instruction from an elder.

The Spirit Controller suddenly burst into hearty laughter, "What a pity. You should've just been content being a good leader of the Dragon Race. Why meddle with those rule-breaking schemes? It's compelled me to come here personally to kill you, a place in the Patrolling Celestial World I least like to visit. Alright then, let's begin. Errors must be paid for!" His voice carried a hint of regret. Immediately afterward, the light blue energy surrounding the Spirit Controller dispersed, revealing a young man in a green robe before Long Lie's eyes.

This was the first time Long Lie had seen the fabled appearance of a Universal Law Enforcer in person. There was nothing special about him now, and even after the Qingguang disappeared, the young man seemed like a very ordinary youth. No powerful Spiritual Power fluctuations, no fearsome presence. As for the young man's appearance, it wasn't particularly ugly, but neither was it stunningly handsome; it could only be considered slightly above average. About 1.8 meters tall with short black hair, he looked utterly ordinary and commonplace.

The Spirit Controller, with the Qingguang gone, first showed a slight smile, then gestured to Long Lie with a beckoning finger, signaling that it was Long Lie's turn to approach. Long Lie didn't hesitate. With a flick of his wrist, a radiant Golden Dragon Spear, well over three meters long and as thick as an adult's arm, appeared in his hand. Golden Dragon Scales also shimmered into appearance on his body, and his eyes turned golden as well. He then moved forward, thrusting the long spear directly at the Spirit Controller.

As the spear was thrust forward, Long Lie was prepared to be annihilated by the Spirit Controller with a single strike. But then he sensed something was wrong—he didn't feel a powerful attack coming—and suddenly opened his eyes to see his own Dragon Lance had been blocked by a paper fan in the hands of the Spirit Controller.

Well, just now Long Lie had been ready to accept his fate when he thrust the spear, because he believed this so-called battle was merely a euphemism and he was certain to be instantly killed by the Spirit Controller. But now, it seemed not to be as he had thought.

With the paper fan in his hand, the Spirit Controller blocked Long Lie's stab and then, with a twist of his wrist, swept aside the Golden Dragon Spear with a flick of the fan. He didn't immediately counter-attack; instead, he looked at Long Lie, whose face was filled with confusion, with a smile, "Although this is punishment, killing you with one move would be too dull. I will fight you with the same Cultivation Realm and strength as you, so I advise you to use all your strength. Otherwise, you will truly die!"
