"Master!"

Inside the Silver Dragon Space, Di Tian knelt on one knee respectfully, his head lowered slightly as he did not dare to look directly at the huge figure before him, yet his eyes revealed an irrepressible excitement and deep reverence.

Who would have thought that in the outside world, Di Tian was hailed as the Beast God invincible across the continent, possessing unfathomable strength that made all beasts stand in awe? Yet inside this Silver Dragon Space, he behaved like a humble subject, completely stripped of his former majesty.

Before Di Tian, a massive body filled nearly the entire space. This was a giant silver dragon whose slender and robust frame was covered in a layer of silver dragon scales, each scale gleaming with a chilling, cold light as if forged from the purest mithril.

The dragon's back was lined with sharp spinal scales that were as razor-sharp as blades, sending a chill down anyone's spine. Its neck was slender and flexible, its limbs strong and powerful. Most eye-catching of all were its sharp dragon horns and vertical pupils. The dragon horns rose high atop its head, exuding a powerful aura; and those vertical pupils burned like fire, revealing endless majesty and dominance.

At that moment, the dragon's wings were folded at its sides, but no one would doubt whether they could blot out the sun and sky once spread. The surface area of those wings was unimaginably vast, likewise covered in silver scales that shimmered with a metallic luster under the refraction of light.

Overall, the form of this silver dragon was both elegant and majestic, its body brimming with a sense of power and violent aesthetics, so much so that it could even be described as stunning.

"Just now, the aura of the God of Destruction appeared within the Star Dou Great Forest." The Silver Dragon King's voice echoed in the space, her tone calm and steady without the slightest ripple. Yet, these words exploded in Di Tian's ears like a sudden thunderclap.

"What?!" Di Tian turned pale with fright, involuntarily trembling all over. Could the master have been discovered by those deities of the God Realm Committee?

And it was the God of Destruction, one of the Five Great God Kings of the God Realm, who had come...

Yet immediately afterward, Di Tian spoke with resolute firmness once again, "I am willing to die in service to the master!"

"Do not panic. My hiding place is absolutely safe. Unless a being of the Dragon God's tier descends, it is simply impossible for me to be discovered." Incomparable confidence poured from the Silver Dragon King's voice, showing absolute certainty in her concealment abilities.

She continued, "Those stubborn fellows in the God Realm, powerful though they might be, have rigid thinking and are simply incapable of breaking through to that level." Her words were filled with utter disdain for the denizens of the God Realm.

Listening from the side with lingering confusion in his heart, Di Tian could not help but ask, "Then the master this time..."

The Silver Dragon King seemed to have anticipated Di Tian's question and answered directly, "I sensed it roughly; the other party stayed for a very brief time, but there was faint residual power lingering around. According to the Dragon God's memories, the God of Destruction is not a deity who would casually violate rules. Therefore, considering everything, I deduce that the God of Destruction's position must have a successor."

Di Tian's eyes shrank sharply, a fierce glint flashing across them. As long as the Silver Dragon King gave the order, he would undoubtedly rush out without the slightest hesitation and tear that so-called successor to pieces.

However, the Silver Dragon King's next words caught Di Tian completely by surprise: "There is no need."

Di Tian stared with wide eyes, his face a mask of disbelief. Back then, the Five Great God Kings besieged the Dragon God, and now the successor of the other party had appeared, yet the master chose to endure? This was truly unexpected.

Seeming to notice Di Tian's confusion, the Silver Dragon King spoke up once more in explanation.

"The God Positions of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life are extremely special. Finding a suitable successor is no easy task. The fact that the God of Destruction descended to the lower realm personally this time shows just how much importance he places on his successor. If you rashly make a move to slay his successor, I'm afraid it will enrage the God of Destruction and cause him to descend to the lower realm directly to settle accounts with you regardless of the cost."

Hearing this, Di Tian's heart tightened involuntarily. He knew full well the might of the God of Destruction; if things truly turned out as the Silver Dragon King said, the consequences would be simply too ghastly to contemplate. Yet, the Silver Dragon King's next words made Di Tian's eyes light up.

"However, this may not be entirely a bad thing for us. The God of Destruction's successor might not be able to adapt to and comprehend the Destruction God Position as perfectly as he did, and their strength might actually be somewhat weakened. As a result, this will... instead bring greater benefits for our future revenge plan." The Silver Dragon King's analysis allowed Di Tian to glimpse a sliver of hope, and he began to re-examine this seemingly tricky situation.

As a dragon clan member who had witnessed the glory of the Dragon God era, Di Tian yearned deeply for life in that era. Now that he heard the master had a mind for revenge, he naturally offered his full support. Before Di Tian could speak further, the Silver Dragon King's voice arrived once more.

"Even so, we cannot just sit here and wait for death. We must make some preparations in advance." The Silver Dragon King's tone was serious and resolute, clearly having already devised a countermeasure.

Di Tian hurriedly replied, "The master need only give the command. This subordinate is willing to offer the service of a dog or horse, and will not shrink from a thousand deaths!"

Though he knew in his heart that some action needed to be taken, carrying out subtle maneuvers in secret without arousing the attention of the God Realm was indeed no easy task. If the movements were too obvious, they would very likely be detected by the people of the God Realm, and that would mean the losses outweighed the gains. Yet, if they truly did nothing and let this rare opportunity slip away in vain, it felt somewhat regrettable.

One had to know that the Silver Dragon King would not care so deeply about an ordinary first-class god's successor. After all, within the God Realm, although first-class gods were few in number, their strength was not particularly formidable to her. She was, after all, a being standing at the peak of first-class gods; ordinary first-class gods were no different to her than other second-class or third-class gods.

Yet, this time the situation was different. Because this successor did not belong to her nemesis the Shura God, but to the God of Destruction. More importantly, the other party very likely possessed some connection with the successor of the Goddess of Life. This meant two God Kings were involved! And one of them was of the support type! Such an opportunity was simply too rare; if missed, it would likely be difficult to ever find another.

Seeing that the Silver Dragon King was deep in thought, Di Tian did not dare to urge her, waiting quietly instead.

Finally, the Silver Dragon King made her decision. The next moment, a Divine Power Crystal Ball enveloping a glowing dragon scale flew before Di Tian.

"Di Tian, go test that successor of the God of Destruction. Remember, try not to offend the other party too severely. Finally, be sure to deliver this dragon scale into the hands of that successor."

"Understood!"
