The Man’s Decree

When the elderly man saw that Jared was hesitating, he spoke directly to the green dragon's primordial spirit instead. “Speak up, dragon. Are you willing to sacrifice your primordial spirit? If Jared dies, so does your primordial spirit. However, if you offer it to Jared, we still stand a chance of winning this fight.”

Jared was stunned to see the elderly man speaking with the dragon.

He had absolutely no idea that one could communicate with the green dragon's primordial spirit.

He had been treating the primordial spirit as a mere weapon, never once considering that the spirit had a mind of its own too.

Jared was still dazed in shock when the green dragon's primordial spirit moved.

“It's my honor to be of help to you.”

The green dragon's primordial spirit slowly opened its mouth and spoke. Its voice was as loud as thunder.

“See, Jared, the dragon has agreed. You can now absorb its primordial spirit and prepare for battle!” said the elderly man.

However, Jared remained indifferent as he stared blankly at the green dragon's primordial spirit with mixed emotions.

“Sir, since you have a mind of your own, do you happen to know who my father is? I'm sure you know him, right?” Jared was starting to get all worked up.

At that moment, he truly wanted to find out if his father was a Draconian.

The green dragon nodded and replied, “Of course, I do. However, I can't tell you just yet. You must be alive and well, for you are the last hope of the Draconians. Now, swallow my primordial spirit so that your draconic essence will once again be filled with the Power of Dragons.”

Jared shook his head. “No, even if it means my death, I will never swallow your primordial spirit. I absolutely refuse to do that.”

He could not bring himself to do it. Although he had not interacted directly with the green dragon's primordial spirit, it had, in fact, saved him and ensured his safe escape multiple times.

There was no way Jared would ever swallow the green dragon's primordial spirit.

“Hey, kid, why are you being as stubborn as a mule? Do you really want to face death and drag everyone down with you?” the elderly man shouted at Jared.

Jared did not respond. A faint aura was circulating within his body, gradually gaining strength.

He was actually conserving the last bit of energy left in his body. Eventually, he would unleash it all and sacrifice his blood essence to fight the old demon to the bitter end.

“You're insane! You're really a lunatic!”

The elderly man felt so helpless, for he did not expect Jared to be so stubborn.

On the contrary, the green dragon guffawed. “The Divine Dragons have never relented in the face of adversity. Hahaha!”

“How are you still laughing when we're on the brink of death? If my brother gets out of here, I fear it will lead to a bloodbath out there, and Archaic Body cultivators like us will undoubtedly encounter numerous challenges.” The elderly man was extremely concerned.
