The Silver Dragon King's Confusion

The timing of revealing the Dragon God Bloodline is extremely important.

If this thing is used improperly, it might instantly escalate the conflict between him and the Silver Dragon King.

However, if used properly, it can be a powerful tool for turning the tide and help him gain absolute initiative in the subsequent development of events.

The previous back-and-forth seemed to leave Su Cheng in a dilemma, forcing him to reveal his trump card in the end.

But in reality, the situation was always under his control.

She began by presenting evidence, stating her reasoning, and revealing her intentions for the trip, thus shattering her composure and coldness.

Then they launched a high-profile attack, painting a picture of an almost impossible scenario for the Silver Dragon King.

Does he not know what the consequences of doing this might be?

The Silver Dragon King has remained inactive and silently dormant for hundreds of thousands of years. How could his mindset be easily shaken by a few words from him?

If the wording is used more tactfully and realistically, and the approach is gradual, the other party might not refuse outright.

But the things he said were so tempting and wonderful, so wonderful that they were almost unbelievable, that the Silver Dragon King dared not respond.

Throughout this process, Su Cheng placed the highest expectations and hopes on her, using unbelievably exaggerated rhetoric to make her hesitate and yearn.

He relentlessly pressured her, gradually touching upon the deepest fantasies hidden behind her defenses.

Until the very end, when all hope was shattered and reason was about to crumble, he delivered the most devastating blow of all!

Dragon God Bloodline!

This is the most direct and compelling evidence!

This proves that what he said was true; he really does understand the power of the Dragon God to a certain extent, even better than the Silver Dragon King himself!

"... Why do you possess the power of the Dragon God's bloodline? How did you manage to do that?"

The Silver Dragon King stared blankly at Su Cheng, at this human boy whom she found completely incomprehensible.

The balance between reason and temptation, which had been constantly swaying, completely tipped the scales the moment she sensed the trace of the Dragon God Bloodline.

"That was clearly just an energy core formed from the remnants of the Dragon God's will..."

A hint of a smile appeared in Su Cheng's eyes.

Without the previous exchange, the Silver Dragon King would probably be thinking about how to seize his bloodline to replenish his own.

They even went further, trying to uncover more of his secrets.

But after all that groundwork, the other party should no longer have any such thoughts.

Just kidding, the Silver Dragon King isn't stupid. If he has a way to comprehend the Dragon God Power, what does a mere trace of bloodline matter?

Unconsciously, the initiative for cooperation between them has shifted.

Originally, Su Cheng, who proposed the alliance, should have been in a relatively weak position, but after the previous tug-of-war, the Silver Dragon King's emotions were completely swayed by him.

Amidst her fluctuating emotions and anxieties, she finally realized what her deepest desires truly were.

The past pursuit of stability and lying low were merely a facade born of helplessness.

What she truly craved, what she could possibly obtain, was far more than she initially anticipated.

This change in mindset might not have been fully realized by the Silver Dragon King himself, but Su Cheng saw it much more clearly.

He said softly, "Can we talk properly now?"

"So, this is your source of confidence..."

The Silver Dragon King gazed at Su Cheng, who stood atop the Dragon Bone in the distance, his expression extremely complex.

At this moment, she was no longer the cold and resolute woman she had been before; she didn't even know how to express her feelings.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

"I only managed to grasp a little bit of the secrets of the Dragon God Bloodline by chance. I'm just showing off."

Seeing the Silver Dragon King standing there awkwardly, Su Cheng didn't make things difficult for her and offered her a way out.

As he spoke, he leaped off the Dragon Bone and walked in front of the other person.

"Do you want it? I can give it to you."

"Give it to me?" The Silver Dragon King was somewhat surprised. "This is the power of the original Dragon God, which is even higher than the God King Power."

"That sounds good." Su Cheng smiled. "However, you need this more, don't you? Consider it a token of my sincerity."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a scar silently appeared.

The next moment, a small blood ball hovered above his palm, and then he tossed it forward, saying, "Catch it."

The Silver Dragon King hurriedly raised his claws, his movements revealing a hint of panic.

This blood sphere, enveloped by that enormous dragon claw, was as small as a speck of dust.

But her expression was extremely solemn and serious, as if this drop of blood weighed more than a mountain.

"By the way," Su Cheng said casually, as if it were nothing, "It seems you don't mind that I have this Dragon God Bloodline on me?"

"..." The Silver Dragon King seemed taken aback by the question and asked in return, "Why do you mind?"

"I'm human, is that okay?"

She then realized what was happening, shook her head, and said calmly, "Dragon Clan don't have such a concept. Our racial concepts are different from yours. There are many ways to pass on bloodlines, far more complex than the narrow-minded views of you humans."

"When the Dragon God first expanded the realm and created the people, his original intention was not to develop a retinue, but to raise them as family. Even the complete Dragon God Bloodline has never been kept secret."

"Unfortunately, ordinary Dragon Clan are simply unable to contain the blood of the Dragon God. Even the Nine Great Dragon Kings of the first generation could only bear a portion of the Dragon God Bloodline."

At this point, she couldn't help but glance at Su Cheng again.

Regardless of how this human recreated the Dragon God Bloodline, the fact that he was able to integrate it into his body is already an incredible feat.

Is it because he is special, or is the human race truly so different?

"Wait, you just said, create people?" Su Cheng frowned subconsciously, finding it somewhat difficult to understand.

"Yes." The Silver Dragon King nodded. "So to me, Soul Beast, which are the many creatures that have undergone mutations due to the influence of the Dragon Clan's aura, are also considered my own people."

"..." Su Cheng was speechless.

Is this the main point? Don't give irrelevant answers.

However, he didn't ask any further questions.

Even the Silver Dragon King probably couldn't answer this question.

This person is clearly an ignorant and incompetent individual; the question he just asked was undoubtedly beyond their level.

Putting aside his deeper questions for the moment, he jokingly asked, "So, does that mean we're of the same race?"

"This..." Upon hearing this, the Silver Dragon King looked at Su Cheng, his eyes showing a hint of surprise and hesitation. "You're willing?"

Su Cheng smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he said, "Tell me about your situation in detail, and also about the outside world. What exactly did you mean when you said that humans used your power to break through bottlenecks and improve their cultivation levels?"

Seeing that he changed the subject, the Silver Dragon King's eyes flickered slightly.

But instead of dwelling on the answer to the previous question, he began to recount that period of history and the current state of Douluo Star.

Yes, humanity is the true protagonist under this starry sky, the darling of the world.

Compared to that, the identity of the Dragon Clan is hardly an honor.

"This is the general state of my world right now."

After he finished speaking, the Silver Dragon King's tone seemed to lighten up a bit.

Over the years, although she has spent most of her time in a deep sleep healing, her level of Spiritual Sense still allows her to easily perceive everything that happens in the outside world.

He was intimately familiar with many major events, including the rise of humanity, the decline of Soul Beast, the prosperity of the Spirit Hall, and the ascension of new gods.

However, no matter what thoughts were in her mind during this period, she could not find anyone to confide in or communicate with, nor was there any need for communication.

Including Di Tian, those powerful Ferocious Beast were all her subordinates, and they all held her in great awe.

She always kept her identity and mission firmly in mind; she was the pillar of her community and the hope for the future.

If she herself is feeling uneasy, then what will others think?

Meaningless emotional venting will only further erode the already waning confidence of the clansmen.

She had suppressed many thoughts in her heart for many years.

"I have a few questions for you." After a moment's thought, Su Cheng spoke again, "Is the origin of human Martial Soul essentially derived from your Dragon Clan?"

The Silver Dragon King looked at him and nodded. "Logically speaking, that's how it is."

"So, according to your logic, humans, at least the humans on this planet, should be considered your people, just like Soul Beast? But why do you treat humans differently from your attitude towards Soul Beast groups?"

"You're wrong." A look in the Silver Dragon King's eyes betrayed a hint of mockery or self-mockery. "Humans don't consider us their own kind... would you?"

The Silver Dragon King did not look at him, but silently stared at the tiny blood bead that floated in his claws, as small as dust.

Su Cheng shook his head. "I am human."

"..."

"Don't misunderstand me. I say I'm human simply because I am human, and it has nothing to do with any other factors. I remember telling you before, right? I don't have any so-called 'racial stance.'" He took a few steps forward, looking up at the enormous, elegant, gleaming silver beast before him.

"To be precise, I will not be swayed by the narrow-minded stance you described. Everyone has their own free will, the right to choose their own path, and the right to choose their own stance."

He paused for a moment, then gazed into those purple dragon eyes. "Silver Dragon King, I have a question for you. When the dragon Dragon Clan stood at the pinnacle of all races, did it ever enslave other races?"

"Of course not." The Silver Dragon King looked back at him frankly. "Back then, the Dragon Realm allowed outstanding individuals from various star systems to become deities in the Divine Dragon Realm. All beings who inherited the bloodline of the Dragon Clan were our people, and the Dragon God always treated everyone equally."

"That's it." Su Cheng smiled at her. "Although I don't consider myself one of the same kind as you, it doesn't mean I should stand on the side of the Divine Realm. This is just the choice of some humans, isn't it? The divisions within humanity have never stopped. Human emotions and desires are much more complex and intense than yours."

"Yes, I know you are someone who values absolute freedom. But your choice is not wise, and I hope you won't regret it later."

"You don't need to remind me, I will take responsibility for my decision. From now on, you don't need to persevere alone anymore, we can fight side by side."

The Silver Dragon King nodded slowly, his eyes calm as still water, completely concealing the emotional turmoil in his heart.

She understood that this was a promise from the other party.

She was willing to believe it, but deep down, she found it hard to believe.

However, even if the other party is just saying it, it is already very precious to her.

"Although I'm not one of your people, we're friends now, right? Or at least comrades-in-arms?"

"..."

The Silver Dragon King did not answer, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Friends...

Su Cheng had said something similar before, saying "having more friends means having more options," but she didn't take it to heart at the time.

For the Silver Dragon King, this was an extremely special relationship, one that she could not understand.

Because she had never had any friends.

I never thought about making any friends.

Her background destined her to have difficulty interacting with others normally.

This is even more true for other races and creatures.

This has nothing to do with her personality, nor is it due to arrogance.

Because she is a unique being.

Just like a human being, who might feel affection for cats and dogs, and even compassion for insects and ants.

But no matter what, I would never consider them to be the same kind.

There exists a huge, insurmountable chasm between them.

Even Di Tian and others were just former subordinates, far from being "friends".

Noticing the hesitation in the other person's eyes, Su Cheng raised an eyebrow and casually said, "What, did I offend you by saying that?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, the Silver Dragon King murmured, "Friends... what exactly is this relationship?"

She wasn't illiterate, so of course she knew the literal meaning of "friend".

In human society, it probably refers to two people who have a good relationship.

She simply couldn't understand the specific meaning of this relationship.

What kind of two people can be called "friends"?

"..."

Su Cheng was also rendered speechless by her question.

He lowered his head and thought carefully for a while, only to find that he couldn't quite explain it either.

Helplessly, he said, "Forget it, let's talk about these things later, they're not important anyway."

"Oh." The Silver Dragon King opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything more, his eyes somewhat dazed.

"Next is the second question."

Su Cheng quickly moved on from that matter and continued, "You just mentioned that when those Soul Beast grow to a certain level, they can transform into human form? Could you elaborate on that?"

"..."

Su Cheng looked up in confusion after not hearing a reply for a while.

But the other person seemed to be in a daze, as if lost in thought.

"Silver Dragon King?"

"Hmm?" The Silver Dragon King finally came to his senses and looked at Su Cheng calmly, "What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Su Cheng frowned and had no choice but to repeat the question he had just asked.

He then emphasized, "This matter is very important, and it is very likely to relate to the way you improve your strength in the future, so you'd better take the right attitude."
