Identity Confirmed

Always letting his thoughts run wild in the Spirt Sea wasn't a solution. After greeting Electrolux, Lin Yun withdrew from the Spirt Sea.

Within the separate space.

Gu Yuena had long since arrived before Lin Yun, watching him with gentle eyes.

Having kept watch over Lin Yun all along, she had naturally noticed the moment he awoke from his slumber. His consciousness had merely remained immersed in the Spirt Sea instead of returning to his body.

Under Gu Yuena's eager gaze, Lin Yun finally slowly opened his eyes and met her pair of lustrous, amethyst-like pupils.

"You're awake!" Gu Yuena smiled brilliantly.

Lin Yun froze hard. He had just awakened from his slumber, only to be struck head-on by a beauty of such devastating appearance. Heaven knew how much psychological damage the gorgeous woman before him dealt him.

"You're... Gu Yuena?" Lin Yun asked tentatively.

"So you do remember me." Gu Yuena sighed, deeply disappointed. She wouldn't get to make her brother call her big sister after all.

???

What exactly were you disappointed about?

Still, this truly confirmed Lin Yun's guess. The Star Dou group had indeed mistaken him for the Golden Dragon King. Somehow, he had inexplicably become the ruler of a major force.

At that thought, Lin Yun immediately put on an act and lowered his gaze toward Gu Yuena's chest.

Don't misunderstand—he wasn't being lecherous. He was seriously laying the groundwork.

"Looks like the injuries that Asura bastard inflicted on you still haven't healed. Is that why you've remained hidden all this time?" Lin Yun frowned deeply.

Gu Yuena was immediately bluffed. After all, no one on the entire Douluo Continent, aside from Di Tian, knew the origin of her injuries. How could anyone recognize her identity at first sight and even know that she was wounded?

Lin Yun, however, had merely formed a judgment of the outside situation during his earlier conversation with Electrolux, combined with his foreknowledge of the plot.

Speaking of which, Lin Yun was also rather puzzled.

Asura God was, in the end, merely a God King. Yet the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King, as the Dragon God's incarnations, had both reached the God King level.

Could a single attack from an expert of the same level really force another expert of that same level to hide in some godforsaken place and nurse her wounds for hundreds of thousands of years?

Did that make any sense?

"After all, the injury damaged my origin. And Douluo Continent has no Immortal Spirit Power. Using the life force of Life Gold to wear away Asura Divine Power is simply far too inefficient." Gu Yuena shook her head with a bitter smile.

Lin Yun nodded thoughtfully.

That did make sense. God Rank was a dividing line; the powers below God Rank and above God Rank belonged to two entirely different levels. The vitality of Life Gold had not reached the level of the Goddess of Life, so its low efficiency in eroding Asura Divine Power was only natural.

Most of the Life Gold condensed by the Lake of Life had probably been used to heal Gu Yuena's injuries.

And yet she had actually been willing to give him a piece of Life Gold to fuse with. This was something she herself used for recovery.

"Thank you," Lin Yun said earnestly.

"No need. We were originally one being, so there's no need to thank me." Gu Yuena smiled sweetly.

She naturally understood what Lin Yun was thanking her for. The only help she had given him was allowing him to fuse with a piece of Life Gold.

With the Golden Dragon King's Origin, even if no one paid Lin Yun any attention, the Dragon's Might that radiated invisibly from him would be enough to make those Soul Beasts shun away.

Devour him?

The Golden Dragon King's Origin would teach those Soul Beasts what the majesty of a king was.

At worst, he would go without food for three years, and his physical condition might fall to an extremely poor state. That alone would trouble him for a while and require a vast amount of resources to recover from.

No matter what Gu Yuena thought, her words truly warmed Lin Yun's heart. Even though he was a fake, he could not help growing fond of this identity.

"Why did you choose to abandon your body at this time and be reborn on Douluo Continent?" Gu Yuena asked curiously.

Lin Yun pondered briefly, then began brainstorming.

He could not answer this question carelessly. If he answered it well, he would truly confirm his identity as the Golden Dragon King. In the future, he could freely borrow the power of the Star Dou Great Forest and might even directly command Di Tian and the other Star Dou Beast Gods.

At the very least, he would be able to easily obtain the Soul Rings he wanted without needing to hunt.

At most, after killing Tang San in the future, he would have to help those Soul Beasts revive. For the glory of the Soul Beast Clan, they would surely be more than willing to sacrifice themselves to him.

Even if they were unwilling, Di Tian would help them become willing.

So, after Lin Yun roughly organized his thoughts, he spoke.

"I foresaw that the Divine Realm would face a great crisis—one that might destroy the Divine Realm. An unprecedented space-time turbulence."

"I originally intended to lie low in the Forbidden Land of Gods and wait for the space-time turbulence to arrive. Then, while the gods of the Divine Realm were unable to spare their attention, I would use the power of the space-time turbulence to completely destroy the Divine Realm."

"?!" Gu Yuena's eyes widened at once.

Damn, was her other half really this incredible? While she had still been thinking about how to barely survive and heal her injuries as soon as possible, he had already been considering how to destroy the Divine Realm?

Good thing, good thing—good thing she hadn't devoured him.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have had his brain. Without him, the troublesome matter of destroying the Divine Realm would probably have fallen on her shoulders.

As expected of the Golden Dragon King, who represented the Dragon God's violent and conquering side!

The two of them, as the Dragon God's incarnations, were truly powerful!

"Then why did you choose to leave your body behind and be reborn on Douluo Continent?" Gu Yuena hurriedly asked.

"Because there was no time left," Lin Yun said gravely.

"Ten thousand years ago, Asura God stepped down and chose an inheritor from Douluo Continent. Together with the Sea God of that time, he passed his Divine Rank to a bastard named Tang San."

"That bastard was no easy opponent. In his eyes, the rule that gods of the Divine Realm could not interfere with the lower realms was complete bullshit. After ten thousand years of cultivation, nearly all of Douluo Continent had now fallen under his control."

"He arranged for his parents to seize the Plane Consciousness and the Source of Life of Douluo Continent. To protect itself, the Plane Consciousness chose another Child of Fortune to save itself, but even this Child of Fortune was part of that bastard Tang San's arrangements."

"Once Tang San's plan succeeds, he will not only control all of Douluo Continent, but turn the Divine Realm into a place where his word alone decides everything!"

"By then, even if the space-time turbulence arrives, I fear I will no longer have the strength to oppose him!"

Lin Yun stared sharply at Gu Yuena and asked a question that made cold sweat pour down her back. "Do you think that, by then, even if your injuries recover, you'll be capable of stirring up trouble in his backyard?"

"I..." Gu Yuena's face was filled with bitterness.
