Dragon King Returns

Could she do it?

She could not!

Just as Gu Yuena had said before, as fellow incarnations of the Dragon God, she had no need to put up a brave front before Lin Yun. If she could not, she could not. There was nothing to argue about.

In terms of strategy, she believed herself inferior to Lin Yun. Even he had not been confident of overturning the Divine Realm under those circumstances and had chosen to abandon his body and come to the Douluo Continent. What confidence did she have that she could surpass him?

"I cannot be of much help to you. My injuries have not yet healed, after all. But I will have Di Tian and the others obey your command and assist you," Gu Yuena said softly.

The Co-Lord of Soul Beasts could command all Soul Beasts, but that was also a weighty responsibility—the responsibility of reviving the Soul Beasts and restoring the Dragon Clan's former glory.

Since the Golden Dragon King had returned, while she, the Silver Dragon King, had the will but lacked the strength, she might as well let go cleanly and allow Lin Yun to act as he pleased.

"Mm. Then focus on healing your injuries. Leave everything else to me." Lin Yun nodded and accepted.

His identity as the Golden Dragon King was now more or less confirmed.

The real Golden Dragon King was still lying dormant in the Forbidden Land of the Gods, waiting for the arrival of the spacetime turbulence. He had no time to come to the Douluo Continent and expose Lin Yun's identity, so borrowing the soul beasts' power was not a bad idea.

Tang San was overwhelmingly powerful. For now, Lin Yun could only keep a low profile and grow stronger, trying to win over every force he could and make use of every resource available.

"Then I will have Di Tian take you out." Gu Yuena lightly tapped with a finger. A flash of silver light passed by, and Di Tian's figure entered the pocket space.

"Master, Honored One!" Di Tian respectfully bowed to Gu Yuena and Lin Yun.

In Di Tian's view, both Lin Yun and Gu Yuena were incarnations of the Dragon God, so both could be considered Co-Lords of Soul Beasts. Yet calling them both Master was not quite appropriate, so to distinguish them, he addressed Lin Yun as Honored One.

During the three years Lin Yun had been asleep, Di Tian had also visited this pocket space. His honorific for Lin Yun had likewise been approved by Gu Yuena.

"Di Tian, my brother left the Divine Realm to lead us back to our peak and counterattack the Divine Realm. You must cooperate with him with all your strength. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable," Gu Yuena said coldly, though that "brother" sounded somewhat out of place.

Moreover, she said it with remarkable ease, without the slightest hint of distaste.

Even Lin Yun gave her a strange look.

Well then, despite being under thirty across both lifetimes combined, he had somehow gained a little sister tens of thousands of years old.

Still, it did sound rather nice~

Then I shall accept you as my little sister!

"Yes. This subordinate will certainly assist the Honored One with all my strength and help the Dragon Clan become great again!" Di Tian nodded forcefully, his face filled with fervor.

"Heh, Di Tian, you are mistaken. When has our Dragon Clan ever ceased to be great?" Lin Yun raised his head proudly, his eyes brimming with disdain.

"It is merely a minor low point. Our Dragon Clan remains the foremost of all beasts, and with Sovereign's Descent!"

Di Tian said nothing, but the respect and fervor in his gaze toward Lin Yun only deepened.

That was right. When had their Dragon Clan ever ceased to be great!

"Enough. Take me out. To leave the Divine Realm, I sealed away most of my power. But even if I had to start over, I would certainly return to my peak, perhaps even surpass it!"

"Yes, Honored One!"

Di Tian bowed and opened a spatial gate before Lin Yun. Only after watching Lin Yun walk through it did he follow and leave the pocket space.

Lin Yun's acting was truly explosive. Not only had Di Tian been completely taken in, but even Gu Yuena felt admiration rise within her for this "brother" of hers.

"I leave everything to you, Brother..."

Gu Yuena closed her eyes. Her perfect, delicate body transformed once more into a massive dragon body, lying within the pocket space as she fell back into slumber.

She could not remain awake for long to begin with. Awakening for three years because of Lin Yun's arrival had already been her limit. For a long time to come, she might not awaken again.

Lake of Life.

Lin Yun stepped out of the spatial passage and stood on the grass by the lakeshore, surveying the scenery around him.

All he could say was...

It truly was quite nice. There were no traces of humanity whatsoever; everything retained nature's most primordial appearance. It was indeed a natural sanctuary capable of producing a treasure like Life Gold.

"Honored One!"

At that moment, a soft and pleasant voice sounded beside him. Lin Yun turned, and an immaculate, beautiful face came into view.

Her waterfall-like emerald-green hair flowed smoothly down her back, every strand as crystalline as a jewel. A pair of white, wing-shaped hair ornaments gathered her long hair, with no other adornments.

A long dress formed from layer upon layer of feathers tightly wrapped her graceful, slender figure. Only half of her fair forearms were exposed; not a trace of other skin was left bare in the air.

Most importantly, the rich aura of life constantly radiating from her filled others with a sense of warmth and familiarity.

The Emerald Swan, Bijie.

Fourth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, a Healing-Type Ferocious Beast with nearly six hundred thousand years of cultivation, and the strongest healer on the Douluo Continent.

"So it is you, Emerald Swan?" Lin Yun nodded.

Although Bijie was indeed very beautiful, having just suffered Gu Yuena's devastating beauty assault, Lin Yun's resistance to feminine beauty had increased considerably. He did not make a fool of himself.

Besides, compared to Bijie's green hair, Lin Yun still preferred Gu Yuena's white locks.

"Yes, Honored One. This subordinate is named Bijie," Bijie replied gently.

As Di Tian's wife, Bijie naturally knew Lin Yun's identity. Not only her—Myriad Demon King and the others had also received stern warnings from Di Tian. Whoever dared offend Lin Yun or Gu Yuena would find Di Tian bringing out the Dragon God Claw.

At that moment, Di Tian also stepped out from the spatial gateway. After coming to Lin Yun's side, he asked quietly, "Honored One, is there anything you require this subordinate to do next?"

Lin Yun lowered his head. His right hand gradually transformed into a golden dragon claw, and his eyes slowly became vertical pupils. Yet they did not turn blood-red, remaining only a brilliant gold.

Comparing the sensation to when he had first obtained the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, Lin Yun could not help but freeze slightly.

The power is not as strong as before. Is it because I am still too weak to wield the Golden Dragon King's true power? Lin Yun silently wondered.

Using a human body to contain the Golden Dragon King Bloodline at the level of a God King was obviously unrealistic.

Tang Wulin was Tang San's son, a genuine child of a God King. Even he had been tormented half to death by the Golden Dragon King. It was already quite good that Lin Yun had not been forced by some so-called seal to improve himself.

That unknown being seemed to be far stronger than Tang San...

But it did not matter. Even if he could only wield a fraction of its power, his Martial Soul was still an authentic Pure-blooded Golden Dragon.

From this day onward, the Dragon King had returned!
