“I think so.”
Meng Lei’s brows furrowed slightly.
“That has to be it!”
Puhaman snickered and said, “Officials qualified to enter the conference hall to discuss state affairs are typically either the chief executives or their deputies from each department.
“Officials whose positions are too low aren’t qualified to step into the conference hall. Therefore, I dare make a bold guess that all you’ve killed are just the high-ranking officials and those in important positions.
“As for the lower-level officials and civil servants in minor positions, they should all be well and alive. These people are the key to us taking control of Dragon God Empire!”
“Go on.”
“As long as you can take control of them, it would be tantamount to you taking control of Dragon God Empire’s court. And there’s nothing more suitable to control them than my Dead Souls Magic!”
Puhaman gave him a sinister smile as a bloodthirsty look came over his countenance.
At the sight of his visage, Meng Lei knew his intentions at once. “It’s better to take a gentler approach to humans who are willing to submit. As for the stubborn ones and the Dragon People nobles, you can do as you see fit.”
“Don’t worry, Master. I know what I should do.”
Puhaman patted his chest as he reassured him again.
“Tell me about the second and third steps.”
“The second step is to promote and elevate the human elites into higher positions and wipe out the Colossal Dragon nobles.”
Puhaman went on. “Once you’ve taken control of the court, it’ll be tantamount to you having taken control of the wagging tongues in the empire.
“At this point, Master can alter the country’s laws and regulations and dismiss the Colossal Dragon nobles from position.
“Those that refuse to accept the changes are all to be killed!
“Whoever dares to revolt are also to be killed!
“Kill them all! And let the blood flow! When that happens, we’ll see who still dares go against Master!
“Now that the Dragons have lost their half-deities, I believe that a group of ordinary Colossal Dragons can’t amount to much at all.”
“...”
“The third step is to deal with the affiliated kingdoms at the borders.”
“...”
As Thaniel listened to Meng Lei and Puhaman’s conversation as they made plans to take over Dragon God Empire, he felt an infinite amount of grief and sorrow.
Should they really carry out whatever Puhaman had said, the entire Dragon God Empire would completely change hands.
There would no longer be any place in Dragon God Empire for the Colossal Dragons!
Dragon God Empire would completely become dominated by humans!
With the humans’ reproduction rate, who would still remember the Dragons after dozens or a hundred years?
An alarmed and fearful Thaniel wondered, “Will the Dragons die out...?”
Meng Lei’s magic communication device suddenly rang at this point.
It’s President Fred?
After a moment of hesitation, Meng Lei chose to pick up the call.
“Meng Lei!”
President Fred had a complex look on his face.
“President,” Meng Lei responded with a smile, just like always.
“Where are you now, Meng Lei?” asked President Fred in a low voice.
“I’ve just left Dragon Island and am about to return to the Imperial City,” replied Meng Lei truthfully.
“In that case, you’ve already...”
At once, the look on President Fred’s countenance changed, and his voice shook somewhat.
“Out of the nine Dragon half-deities, aside from Elder Amolin and the Tempest Colossal Dragon that got away, the other seven half-deities have all died. The ordinary Dragons have also been wiped out.”
Meng Lei respected President Fred, so he didn’t wish to deceive him in matters like this. Neither was there any need for him to—he believed that the news would spread in no time.
“It’s over! It’s all over for the Dragons!”
President Fred staggered as if his soul had left him. He said, “I’ve imagined various outcomes, but never did I ever think that the outcome would be one like this!
“Out of the nine Dragon half-deities, you’ve actually slain seven. Without the half-deities’ protection, the Dragons’ destruction has already become destined. In fact, the Dragons no longer have the power to control the entire empire anymore!”
Fred let out wry laugh after wry laughs. “Forget it! Forget it! Now that it has come to this, what more can I say?
“Meng Lei, what do you intend to do next? What are you going to do about each kingdom’s royalty?”
That’s probably what the Fire Dragon King, Flit the 66th, got you to ask, right?
After a long silence, Meng Lei finally slowly answered, “President, on your account, I can look the other way and allow each kingdom’s royalty to take up permanent residency on the Lost Continent.
“If they are willing, the Lost Continent can become their abode. We’ll call it New Dragon Island!”

“Look the other way? Head to the Lost Continent and take up permanent residency there?”
Smack!
Flit the 66th broke the imperial desk in front of him with a smack. His eyes were close to spitting fire. “Meng Lei is going too far!”
Fred could only give a wry smile, as did the Fighting Dragon Academy president and the others.
Going too far?
Indeed, Meng Lei certainly was, but what could he do about him?
He had killed even the seven half-deity grandmasters on Dragon Island, as well as the empire’s emperor! Let alone him, Flit the 66th?
Heaven’s Vault Continent was ultimately a place where the strong was revered. Whoever was stronger would hold more influence.
This was the eternally unchanging truth!
Didn’t the Dragons bully and humiliate the humans all these years simply because they were stronger than them?
“Is there no chance of things turning for the better at all?”
After his fit of fury, Flit the 66th gradually regained his composure. He was filled
