Open Card
"That sounds like a very principled race."
After hearing the Silver Dragon King's solemn promise, Su Cheng showed no emotion whatsoever.
He replied with a relaxed smile, "However, I think you misunderstand. Coming from another world, I don't have the concept of 'racial stance'."
"Hmm?" The Silver Dragon King was somewhat puzzled and couldn't understand what he was trying to say.
"It seems that in your world, you and your people are not in a very good situation? And you are in some kind of hostile relationship with humans?"
"...so what?"
Could you briefly tell me about your situation?
The Silver Dragon King hesitated for a moment, then thought that there was nothing to hide, and said, "Back then, under the leadership of the Dragon God, the Dragon Clan had a great war with the Divine Realm, which is the high-level power of my world."
"After that war, the Dragon God perished, and the will of the universe and the laws of the world seemed to undergo some kind of invisible change. Our former home was also destroyed."
"The planet I am on now is the lower realm of the Divine Realm, where a large number of humans live."
"Besides humans, there are many other magical creatures that have mutated because they have been tainted by the aura of the Dragon Clan. They are also my people."
"Now they..."
At this point, the Silver Dragon King paused slightly.
He then continued, "Influenced by the laws of the world, they have become part of the human cultivation system. If humans on that planet want to advance their cultivation level, they must use the energy and soul essence of these beings as a foundation in order to break through the bottleneck of advancement."
"It does sound rather ominous," Su Cheng said thoughtfully, resting his chin on his finger.
"Using the lives of other races as resources for one's own cultivation. This method of advancement is somewhat perverse and contradicts the principles I know. Heaven and Earth are impartial and holy, and the law you speak of is undoubtedly distorted, and there are probably other hidden reasons behind it."
"Heaven and earth are ruthless, yet they are perfectly just and holy?" The Silver Dragon King's eyes were calm but seemed to carry a hint of mockery.
Perhaps a burning anger had already ignited in her heart, but she hadn't shown it.
"You don't need to feel resentful about this. Didn't the Dragon Clan of the past also receive the world's favor and blessings? To be honest, I feel that the situation of the Dragon Clan back then was not quite right. It was definitely not as simple as just relying on themselves to become the top of the food chain. It's just that there are too few clues now, so I can't draw any conclusions yet."
Su Cheng looked at the Silver Dragon King, "What exactly is your relationship with that former Dragon God?"
He needed to test the other party's attitude.
The answer to this question will determine his subsequent words and actions.
"I..."
Upon hearing this Silver Dragon King hesitated visibly, seemingly considering whether or not to answer the question.
Su Cheng wasn't in a hurry and just waited quietly there.
"... I am the new generation of Dragon God, or rather, I am a part of the Dragon God."
"A portion?"
"After the great battle, the Dragon God was severely injured by a powerful enemy and split into two individuals before his death. One half was suppressed by the Divine Realm, while the other half escaped the battlefield and landed on a life-bearing planet, which is me."
Su Cheng raised an eyebrow, his eyes flickering slightly. "A split body of the Dragon God... You're quite honest, willing to tell me even something like this?"
"You are not my enemy, at least not now, and hopefully not in the future," the Silver Dragon King said calmly.
Her frankness wasn't just for what she said; she wasn't that naive. It was a decision she made after weighing the pros and cons.
Su Cheng's strength and ability have already been demonstrated.
With the opponent's methods, and by leveraging the shared power fluctuations between himself and the Dragon God, and after gathering some intelligence, he will eventually be able to deduce most of the truth.
Rather than hiding it, it's better to just admit it.
However, now that the decision has been made to speak out, there is no need to hide any other minor details.
"... And it's no secret. My enemies are well aware of this; they personally sealed away the other half of the Dragon God Bloodline. Perhaps in their eyes, as a split version of myself, I can't cause much of a stir."
At this point, the Silver Dragon King's voice finally showed a slight fluctuation.
Compared to the anger of being defeated and forced to retreat, this feeling of powerlessness as a weakling was even harder for her to accept.
"That's quite a coincidence. Helping the oppressed and weak to defeat those in power, defeat those who make the rules, and break the shackles of the world is exactly what I'm most happy to do." Su Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, but his tone remained relaxed and casual.
"..."
Upon hearing this, the Silver Dragon King remained silent and showed no joy whatsoever, merely shifting his sharp dragon claws slightly.
The human boy before them was indeed very strong, and his talent was terrifying. The fact that he was able to research that kind of secret technique showed that his mind was also extraordinary.
However, how could the Dragon Clan's predicament be changed by a Limit Douluo?
Let alone Limit Douluo, even ordinary gods are nothing more than ants that can be destroyed with a flick of the wrist in the eyes of the Divine Realm.
Moreover, she simply cannot trust a human being.
Moreover, Su Cheng's somewhat subtle attitude made her feel uneasy.
"You don't seem to believe me?"
"That's right," the Silver Dragon King admitted bluntly. "You said you wanted to help us, what are your reasons for doing so?"
"Alright, then I'll tell you the truth." Su Cheng straightened his expression and suppressed his smile.
"Actually, this isn't the first time I've entered other worlds. My cultivation methods are quite different from yours, focusing more on comprehension. If I can change the existing order of this world, it will bring me considerable benefits."
"To achieve this, overthrowing the old order and breaking the old pattern is undoubtedly the most direct and efficient way."
"Besides, defeating a powerful enemy and breaking free from constraints... isn't that in itself a very interesting and fulfilling thing?"
"..."
Upon hearing these words, the Silver Dragon King's pupils shrank sharply, and his gaze trembled slightly.
This mentality...
"You are Chaos Bringer!"
"Who is it?" Su Cheng was taken aback.
The Silver Dragon King did not answer.
Her heart was filled with turmoil, and many thoughts came to mind in an instant.
The Dragon God's power is extremely high; creation and destruction are secondary, the key is that it can influence spacetime to a certain extent.
As split entities Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King respectively control the power of time and space.
Of course, this so-called control is only able to be used appropriately; it cannot be mobilized on a large scale, let alone reverse the entire spacetime.
If that were truly possible, the Dragon God would have long since become an omniscient and omnipotent invincible being, so how could he have perished?
However, spacetime is ultimately a power of a very high level, existing in a completely different dimension from ordinary elemental power.
Even though he only possessed a very small amount of power, he was endowed with Dragon God extremely high essence.
It is precisely because of this nature that the Silver Dragon King, as one of the Dragon God's split entities, was able to vaguely sense the existence of another higher-dimensional energy—Destiny.
She suddenly understood why Su Cheng was enveloped by a Fate Power.
That was neither an ability he possessed nor a gift bestowed upon him by the world.
Rather, it was because he, as an outsider and a special powerhouse who should not exist in this universe, naturally stirred up the course of this world after entering it.
It is precisely because of his existence, coupled with his own formidable strength, that the future destinies of all those involved with him have undergone subtle changes, some minor and some major.
Of course, that alone is not enough.
The key lies in his attitude towards doing things.
Although Su Cheng's reaction wasn't obvious, the Silver Dragon King still noticed.
He is actually a person who advocates absolute freedom, and even a person who leans towards chaos.
Logically, the world should reject the existence of such beings, so why is it the opposite...?
The Silver Dragon King composed himself and pondered, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Didn't I just say? Change the world order and overthrow those in power?" Su Cheng frowned, feeling somewhat bewildered.
The other party's attitude seemed to have changed slightly compared to before.
"That's all?"
That's all.
Su Cheng nodded.
This time he really wasn't lying.
This is one of the tasks in this Simulation.
"..."
The Silver Dragon King fell silent.
The person in front of me is actually quite clear about what they're thinking.
He saw that his side had some strength, and given that the Dragon Clan race was in a precarious situation, he planned to join forces with him to launch an attack on the Divine Realm's forces, with each side getting what they wanted.
The phrase "change the existing pattern and break the old order" sounds very tempting.
This is undoubtedly a promising future, especially for the declining dragon Dragon Clan.
But can I trust such a person?
Such a person, unburdened and without any taboos, has a style of behavior that is absolutely difficult for oneself to control; it is a double-edged sword.
Moreover, even if he truly had no other ulterior motives, as he himself claimed.
But facing such a powerful Divine Realm, the increasingly powerful native humans of Douluo Star, and those gods with various methods, does he have enough strength?
Although this human is quite strong, he is only a Limit Douluo, and is still some distance away from the God-level.
Su Cheng knew nothing about the terrifying aspects of the existence of the Second-Level God, First-Level God, and even the five Supreme God Kings who held the power of the universe.
It should be noted that even the Dragon God, whose strength was once above that of the God King, was defeated by those God Kings.
Moreover, there is another very crucial matter.
For Su Cheng, even if he participates in this war, there is still room for error.
So what if he fails?
He clearly has other options.
Even if he can't leave this place, as a powerful human, the Divine Realm will be much more tolerant of him.
To put it bluntly, if Su Cheng is willing to accept the imperial pardon, he might even be able to secure a decent divine position for his retirement.
In contrast, the Dragon Clan's contributions were completely disproportionate.
The risks they need to bear are also quite different.
For Su Cheng, perhaps this was just a game, or a gamble. And he was the only one standing at the gambling table.
But what about the Dragon Clan?
This might be the last chance.
Once you fail, there's no way to recover.
It wasn't just the Dragon Clan, but also the countless Soul Beasts that followed Dragon Clan.
"Your idea is impossible to achieve. Stop daydreaming and don't overestimate yourself. To tell you the truth, with my current strength, I'm not even ranked in the Divine Realm, let alone you."
After much deliberation, the Silver Dragon King finally spoke.
She rejected Su Cheng's offer, saying, "If you want to take the risk, you are welcome to try it yourself, but I cannot accompany you. I cannot gamble with the future of the Dragon Clan, much less let my clansmen take the risk with me."
"I understand." Su Cheng nodded.
He was not at all surprised by the Silver Dragon King's attitude.
He had already analyzed it; this female dragon's personality was ridiculously stable, and it wouldn't be so easy to win her over as an ally.
Moreover, what he seeks is not just a simple alliance.
"To be honest, I feel a sense of familiarity with the aura of your race. In my homeland, there are also creatures similar to you, but they only exist in legends."
Su Cheng stared at the Silver Dragon King and continued speaking.
According to the orthodox approach, the next step is to persuade them with reason and Emotional Stirring.
Even if we can't completely convince the other party, the current situation has already met our original expectations.
From the initial encounter to demonstrating strength, then to threatening negotiations and expressing sincerity, every step was meticulously planned.
The Silver Dragon King has long since lowered his guard against him, and the two have reached a preliminary tacit understanding.
Next, all we need to do is leave this valley together, like slowly boiling a frog in water, and gradually build up our relationship. With the help of the hidden Dragon God Bloodline, completing the Origin quest will naturally be a natural outcome.
As for the Final Chapter mission, as long as you lay the groundwork little by little during the process, there will definitely be a chance of success.
However, Su Cheng is not an ordinary player.
He has unique experience in clearing customs.
The long-term planning approach seems to be the best choice, but it also has its drawbacks.
First, there's the issue of the Silver Dragon King's personality.
Given her own disadvantageous position, her overly conservative development strategy will only erode the chances of eventual success.
Secondly, there's the issue of time.
Su Cheng didn't have that much time to waste on the Dragon Clan.
He also has Reshaping mission, which requires finding "key figures" to change the fate of those people.
How could they possibly passively follow the Dragon Clan?
Finally, and most importantly.
Dominance.
Su Cheng wasn't there to marry into the family, nor was he begging the other party to join him.
He came to be the savior, to save the Dragon Clan.
Even if it's a collaboration, he wants to be the leader of the alliance; how could he let the other party lead him by the nose?
Therefore, he wanted to change his approach.
They wanted to recruit the Silver Dragon King in a more radical way, to get Silver Dragon King on their side and have them set the pace.
Instead of joining the Silver Dragon King's side.
