Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 839, I Am Willing to Become an Ancient God to Protect Dragon Country’s Prosperity

Their reaction was, in truth, entirely within Lu Fan’s expectations.

After all, never mind them, even Lu Fan himself had hesitated for a considerable time after learning of Ouyang Bai Ge’s plan.

For Tu Jing and Jin Zhan, they had probably never imagined that one day they would possess the power of an Ancient God, or even achieve eternal life hereafter, never falling into the cycle of reincarnation.

To transform from a Human to a true Divine Being… This was even more incredible to them than becoming a Sixth Profession Player.

Moreover, what they were to become were the very Ancient Gods they currently regarded as their greatest enemies. The impact of this revelation was simply too overwhelming for them.

To this, Lu Fan merely smiled and said. “Actually, I have the same concerns as you two before. But later, I came to understand…”

Lu Fan explained his thoughts to the two men in complete detail, holding nothing back.

He also told them how he had once hesitated just as they did, and that he even had to consider whether to trust another Ancient God’s words and use that Fourth Profession Change Array.

His choice to become an Ancient God was entirely a gamble.

And now, he could tell Jin Zhan and Tu Jing that he had bet correctly.

At the same time, he believed that becoming an Ancient God was perhaps the only path to counterbalancing the other hostile Ancient Gods. Otherwise, looking at the current situation in the Far North, did Dragon Country have any hope of victory?

The enemy had not even shown their face. Yet, merely with endless waves of Fallen Corpse Puppets, Dragon Country was already struggling to cope.

As for the Fallen Corpse Ancient God, even the current Lu Fan was no match for it.

Right now, Lu Fan was simply waiting for the Devouring Dragon King’s injuries to completely heal before going to kill the Fallen Corpse Ancient God’s Mount!

Even someone as powerful as Lu Fan, he could only target the Fallen Corpse Ancient God’s Mount! Just how strong was the true Fallen Corpse Ancient God? How undefeatable it was? Well, one could imagine.

And taking Divine Seats was undoubtedly the only method to rapidly increase their strength.

Seizing one more Ancient God’s Divine Seat now meant one fewer enemy when the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy began. This was currently the best method of opposing the Ancient Gods.

Lu Fan also made clear that when it came to Ancient Gods’ Divine Seats, his first consideration was still Tu Jing and Jin Zhan, as well as Elder Jin. These three possessed extreme strength, after obtaining their Divine Seats, their power should be able to increase rapidly.

When the Ancient Gods gradually awakened in the future, as their strength also gradually grew stronger, they might not be unable to fight against true Ancient Gods.

If he were only considering the aspect of ‘eternal life’, Lu Fan’s first consideration would actually be his own Family and friends.

But for the sake of this world, Lu Fan could only first ensure the strength of his own faction before considering personal sentiments. Otherwise, once this world fell, everything would be but a mere fantasy.

With Lu Fan’s persuasion, Jin Zhan and Tu Jing gradually understood what was at stake.

Finally, both men nodded, expressing agreement with Lu Fan’s plan.

“If that’s the case, seizing the Divine Seats is indeed a path to defeating the Ancient Gods,” Tu Jing nodded. “If things are truly as you say, and Divine Seats can be seized, then I am willing to become an Ancient God to protect Dragon Country’s eternal prosperity.”

Jin Zhan nodded as well. “I feel the same. Similarly, I believe Elder Jin would feel the same.”

Both men came from military backgrounds with strong patriotic sentiments. Even if becoming Ancient Gods might not be a great thing for them, they would still readily accept it for the good of the country.

Lu Fan knew that as long as they could think it through, persuading them would not actually be a problem.

Now that he saw them agree, he smiled and said. “In that case, let’s act according to plan. For now, we’ll first resist the Fallen Corpse Puppets from the Far North. When the time is ripe, I’ll take my Pet Dragons and kill our way deep into the Far North to slaughter the Blood Moon’s Owner.”

“At the same time, you two will mobilise Dragon Country’s military from top to bottom to search for places where Ancient Gods might exist and construct Transport Arrays.”

“Once these Transport Arrays are complete, I’ll personally go over to sense whether the Ancient Gods are present. The power emanated by the Ancient Gods nourishes this world and gives birth to more resources. Our Dragon Country has vast territory and abundant resources. According to my estimation, the number of Ancient Gods lying dormant here should be no fewer than three.”

“Apart from the Far North, there should be at least two other places where Ancient Gods lie dormant. Find them, seize their Divine Seats, and I will bestow them upon you two. At the same time, I also hope you can negotiate with the leadership of other countries and have them do the same.”

“Discovering Ancient Gods lying dormant in their own countries early and eliminating them is far better than having the Ancient Gods gradually awaken and destroy their nations.”

“About this…” Jin Zhan hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly. “Actually, when it comes to finding and eliminating Ancient Gods within Dragon Country, that’s not much of a problem. But, if we go to other countries, I think things won’t be so simple.”

“Although matters of the Ancient Gods have been exposed, when all’s said and done, only our Dragon Country and Star Strip Country have suffered greatly from them. Other countries show no signs of the Ancient Gods appearing. In short, the other countries still view this matter with an attitude of ‘watching an exciting show’. They do not believe that the appearance of Ancient Gods poses any danger to their own nations.”

“In fact, when we developed the Far North into a Levelling Up area to cultivate Dragon Country’s talents, it made some countries green with envy. They’ve been privately searching to see if there are other places with Ancient Gods, wanting to pioneer their own Levelling Up areas. So if we negotiate and ask whether they have signs of Ancient Gods in their territories, and that we want to eliminate them and seize their Divine Seats, I’m afraid many will not agree to it. Not only will they demand benefits, but they might even refuse our goodwill.”

Regarding this, Lu Fan merely smiled.

He had actually anticipated this.

When it came down to it, some people would not understand until they suffered a bit. To them, even a turd in their mouth seemed fragrant.

If they wanted to eat shit, then so be it. Why try to snatch the turd from their mouths, which would only cause them to bite down even harder?

For such people, there really was no solution.

Dragon Country wanted to help them find and eliminate the pests within their territories. Yet, they were unwilling. What could Dragon Country do?

Kneel down and beg them?

If they wouldn’t allow it, then so be it. There was no need to rush forward to help them.

“We’ll explain the pros and cons clearly. If any country is unwilling, then let them be. I think that when their countries get torn apart, on the verge of extinction, then we can step in.”
