Originally, the Heavenly Dao oath usually only has a few dozen words, or even a few hundred words. As long as the Heavenly Dao is sensitive to it, it will be taken care of.

But when Li Ping'an ordered people to bring up a blank stone tablet and a roll of three-inch-thick cloth, the old dragons of the Dragon Clan almost couldn't hold their nerve.

Tens of thousands of words of an oath to heaven!

Does this mean that the details and duration of the dragon reproduction ceremony are fixed for them?

Ying Long's handsome face looked up at Li Ping'an with a dumbfounded expression.

Before Ying Long could speak, a warning came from outside the cabin hall:

"Your Majesty! General Dapeng asks for an audience!"

"The roc is back?"

Li Ping'an sat upright, serious, with a gentle smile in his clear eyes, as if he was saying what Long said...

'How could I cheat the Dragon Clan?'

The dragons have already noticed the auras of Kong Xuan and Dapeng.

Ying Long's eyes were extremely complicated for a moment, and he stared at Li Ping'an closely. Li Ping'an looked at him with a smile and said slowly:

"Let Dapeng take his brother to wait in the side hall. In this battle of Xuandu City, the Feng Clan comes to help. On behalf of all the spirits of the world, I will give you a banquet to thank you."

Ying Long breathed a sigh of relief.

If Kong Xuan and Dapengniao entered the main hall directly today, they would probably not be able to talk about many things that could be discussed.

Li Pingan also knows how to apply pressure.

These two sons of Shi Feng only need to show up, and there is no need to meet the dragon clan directly.

The two Skywrath Guard commanders, Dapengniao, Kong Xuan, Li Dazhi, and Yinkui Cailin, have been busy for so long just to put some pressure on the Dragon Clan and create some constraints.

Li Ping'an smiled and said: "Don't you guys take a look at the contents of this covenant? Since we are here to discuss it today, some of its contents are certainly negotiable."

"yes."

Ao Guang, the leader of the Dragon Clan, had seen the big scene and said slowly:

"Let us take a closer look at the content of this covenant."

So, the six most powerful dragons from the dragon clan gathered together and slowly spread out the cloth.

The content written on the cloth made them secretly relieved.

Nowadays, the dragon clan has lost the Dragon Ancient World and is eager to return to the main world to settle down. The main world is now the basic base of the human race, and the human race is very excited about this.

No matter where this excitement comes from;

Now the dragon clan can only think of ways to calm the anger of the human race and make the human race believe that they are a friendly clan and will not have any conflict with the human race.

In other words, they don't have much room for bargaining.

These old dragons had communicated and discussed before they came. They originally thought that if Heavenly Court took advantage of the situation, it would definitely attack the Dragon Clan from three aspects.

One is the treasure hidden by the Dragon Clan.

That is the legacy of most of the ancient times, and it is also something that is missing in heaven.

The second is the Sea Clan controlled by the Dragon Clan.

Although the Sea Tribe is only a small and weak tribe compared to the Human Tribe, they are proficient in water warfare and are helpful in managing the water system between heaven and earth. Heaven must have coveted them for a long time.

The third is the combat power of the Dragon Clan itself.

This needs no introduction.

Although it has been difficult for the dragon clan to hatch baby dragons since ancient times, any existing dragon clan can be a master of the Taiyi Realm.

For the human race, the dragon race is the best high-end combat power supplement.

Therefore, the Dragon Clan expected that Li Ping'an would make a big deal out of these three aspects, and the Dragon Clan was also ready to bankrupt the family and let some dragons work as cattle and horses for the Heavenly Court.

But they never expected it...

Several aspects written on this cloth turned out to be...

Covenant of equality.

Ying Long and Ao Guang looked at each other with a little doubt in their eyes.

Emperor Li Tian and Emperor Xuanyuan went to such great lengths to invite the only two great masters of the Feng Clan just to force them to sign this 'equality covenant'?

The old dragons were very confused about this.

There are six major clauses and thirty smaller clauses in this covenant. Each clause is not too harsh and is even quite profitable for the Dragon Clan.

In order to prevent being tricked by Li Ping'an, Liulong read it carefully one by one.

The first article of the covenant determines the relationship between heaven and the Dragon Clan. The Dragon Clan is loyal to the Heavenly Court and obeys the will of the Heavenly Emperor. At the same time, it is also subject to the jurisdiction of the authority departments of the Heavenly Court.

There are also examples in the covenant.

For example, if the Dragon Clan manages a lake or well from the Heavenly Court in the future, it will need to report and report to the yamen in the Heavenly Court that is responsible for the water area. The Dragon Clan who manages this water area will receive the Immortal Official position in the Heavenly Court.

Here, the Heavenly Court gave some concessions to the Dragon Clan - Heavenly Court gave a fixed quota of immortal positions, and the specific appointments were finalized internally by the Dragon Clan, and then the Dragon Clan reported it to the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court has also imposed restrictions - the Heavenly Court will have various supervision and assessment measures for the Dragon Clan ministers who serve in the Heavenly Court. Those who fail the assessment will be banned, and the Dragon Clan themselves will conduct the next round of candidate selection.

In the eyes of the Dragon Clan, this is already very relaxed.

They can even choose some of the dragon sons and dragon girls that will be hatched in the future to go to heaven to earn merit.

How could they refuse this good thing?

The second article of the covenant is to determine the living area of ​​the dragon clan between heaven and earth.

Through this article, the Heavenly Court assigned the vast waters of the four seas that now dominate the heaven and earth to the Dragon Clan, who managed the waters and trained the navy.

Similarly, this article actually contains many conditions, mainly surrounding the relationship between the Dragon Clan and the Sea Clan.

From now on, the Dragon Clan will be ordered by the Emperor of Heaven to take charge of the world, lead the Sea Clan, and protect the stable development of the world. The Sea Clan is not only a people under the rule of the Dragon Clan, but also a member of the hundreds of races under the direct control of Heaven. The Sea Clan will be given

You have the right to appeal to the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court will also reserve some immortal positions for the Hai Clan.

The Dragon Clan must not oppress the Sea Clan, and the Dragon Clan must allow at least 80% of the Sea Clan to develop independently.

The Dragon Clan provides shelter to the Sea Clan and can voluntarily recruit soldiers from the Sea Clan.

etc.

It is equivalent to giving the Hai Clan a 'political status' similar to that of all the spirits in the wild.

The third article of the covenant is military related.

The sailors trained by the Dragon Clan in the four seas must obey the orders of the Heavenly Court, including the marshals divided within the Dragon Clan, who must also be directly appointed by the Heavenly Court.

The soldiers of the four seas enjoy the Tier 2 Heavenly Soldiers establishment of the Heavenly Court. The offerings of the soldiers of the four seas enjoy the uniform standards of the Heavenly Court, but are provided by the Dragon Clan.

If any general of the Dragon Clan resists the decree, the Dragon Clan must bring the general's head to heaven to confess his guilt.

In this covenant, what makes the Dragon Clan a little wary is the crime of 'resisting and disobeying the decree'.

This crime is very vague. Whether it counts as disobedience or disrespect depends entirely on the decision of the Emperor of Heaven...

But compared to other clauses and the benefits offered by Heavenly Court, it is reasonable for the Dragon Clan to be subject to such restrictions. Ao Guang, Ying Long, and the other elders simply discussed it through voice and nodded in agreement.

Article 4 is about taxes.

The Dragon Clan controls the land of the four seas and needs to pay a certain tax to the Heavenly Court every three years. The tax is 70% of the tax collected by the Dragon Clan from the Sea Clan.

True Heaven takes 70%.

The Dragon Clan had the least objection to this. They took the initiative to say that they would directly pay taxes for the next 10,000 years, based on the number in the top grid.

Articles 5 and 6 both revolve around the relationship between the human race and the dragon race.

The most controversial thing here is Article 5.

The subjects of Article 5 of the Covenant are mortals.

The Dragon Clan is not allowed to harm a mortal. If the Dragon Clan and members of the Dragon Clan's subordinate forces hurt a mortal, the person who kills will die and the person who injures will be punished.

Article 6 of the covenant is not bad, the subject is the Qi Refiner.

Dragons and Qi Refiners coexist peacefully. If conflicts arise, they will be judged by the God of Justice in Heaven, and responsibilities will be divided according to the merits.

After seeing these two items, Ao Guang was silent for a long time, and finally bowed to Li Ping'an and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, mortals are weak and do not know the fate of the world. If any mortal is arrogant and insults our Dragon Clan, can the Dragon Clan punish him?"

Li Ping'an said: "This matter should be considered on a case-by-case basis."

"How to judge the situation?"

"If a mortal insults a dragon who serves in the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court will send heavenly soldiers to capture the mortal, and he will be held responsible and adjudicated, including but not limited to depriving the other person of the right to go to heaven after death."

Li Pingan said slowly:

"If a mortal insults a dragon who is not an official of the Heavenly Court, the dragon must come to the Heavenly Court or the nearest Heavenly Court office to file a complaint, and the Heavenly Court will mediate through civil mediation.

"In short, on this issue, Heavenly Court will respect the reputation and status of the Dragon Clan as a powerful ancient clan.
