"Di Tian, I should have told you to try and avoid direct conflict with the God of Destruction's successor. Did you treat my words as turning a deaf ear?" Inside the Silver Dragon Dimension, the Silver Dragon King's massive pupils looked like burning flames as she stared fixedly at Di Tian before her. Di Tian trembled all over, falling to his knees with his head unable to raise even an inch, completely looking like a person resigned to punishment.
"Lord, your subordinate knows his wrong! Those two soul beasts of the Extreme North actually defected to the God Realm and even willingly acted as the God of Destruction's successor's guardians—this is simply a betrayal of our Soul Beast race! Your subordinate simply couldn't swallow this anger, which is why I made a move in a fit of rage... Please punish me, Lord!"
The Silver Dragon King looked at Di Tian, a wave of helplessness inevitably welling up in her heart. She knew Di Tian's temper; although somewhat reckless, he was utterly loyal to the Soul Beast race. It was just that this time he really acted too impulsively, and getting into a conflict with the God of Destruction's successor was no minor matter.
"Sigh..." The Silver Dragon King let out a gentle sigh. "If it were the era when the Dragon God was still around, soul beasts naturally would have taken the Dragon God as the center. But nowadays, the Dragon God has already fallen, and the Golden Dragon King is also imprisoned in the God Realm, while I have all this time remained hidden here to heal my injuries. With soul beasts leaderless, the appearance of such a situation now is truly forgivable..."
Saying this, the Silver Dragon King's gaze grew somewhat dim. "Not just the Extreme North, haven't the sea soul beasts already thrown themselves into the embrace of the God Realm as well?" The Silver Dragon King's tone carried a trace of unwillingness, along with a certain helpless resignation.
The betrayal of the Heavenly Snow Woman and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion indeed brought a trace of displeasure to her heart, but thinking carefully, this was actually within reason. After all, by doing this, they truly preserved the soul beasts to a certain extent from facing complete extinction. With the protection of a God King, the soul beasts of the Extreme North would definitely not face the constant yearly decrease in population like the Star Dou Great Forest.
Moreover, and more importantly, the actions of the Heavenly Snow Woman and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion coincided seamlessly with her own plans. One could say their actions happened to test Lang Lei's range of psychological acceptance toward soul beasts for her. As long as Lang Lei held no prejudice against soul beasts, then her plan had the possibility of success.
"But, Lord!" Di Tian seemed to want to say something further, but the Silver Dragon King interrupted him.
"No need to say more. Was the item delivered?" the Silver Dragon King asked directly.
"Replying to the Lord, it has already been delivered." Not daring to show the slightest negligence, Di Tian hurriedly and respectfully answered.
The Silver Dragon King remained silent for a moment before ultimately letting out a sigh. "Forget it. In consideration of your loyal intentions, I will not issue a punishment this time, but let this be the last time!"
Hearing this, Di Tian felt slightly at ease and hastily expressed his gratitude. "Thank you for your mercy, Lord!"
The Silver Dragon King shook her head helplessly; she was actually quite satisfied with Di Tian. Di Tian was not only the most loyal member among her subordinates, but also the strongest in strength. No matter how she punished him, it made the Silver Dragon King feel somewhat improper, so for now she could only leave it at this.
"Thank you, Lord; the Lord is merciful."
"Alright, withdraw. I need to continue recovering from my injuries."
"Wishing the Lord a speedy recovery." Di Tian respectfully stood up and withdrew.
The Silver Dragon King let out a helpless sigh. Hopefully her plan would be useful...
"Sister Xue, Sister Bing, there seems to be something over there that is quite useful to me. Let's go take a look!"
"Alright." Regarding the matter of winning over support, the Snow Empress had long since harbored no doubts whatsoever, for Lang Lei had already proven his reliability with facts.
Now that Di Tian had just retreated, there was probably no need to worry about the other party suddenly turning back, and even if they came, the three of them were not afraid now.
Should the other party have gone to fetch reinforcements...
That probably wouldn't happen so quickly.
Throughout the process of venturing deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress had always been exceedingly cautious, while only Lang Lei maintained a carefree appearance.
Finally, led by Lang Lei, the group spotted the item sensed by Elysia that was useful to her.
A dragon scale lay quietly inside an object resembling an eggshell, exuding a sacred aura.
Just as Lang Lei was about to go pick it up, the Snow Empress stopped him.
"Let me go take a look first."
"Alright, be careful, Sister Xue." Lang Lei nodded.
The Snow Empress cautiously used her Soul Power to levitate the "white sphere" before her, bringing it over to the three of them.
"How is it?" the Ice Empress asked with some curiosity.
"This is no ordinary item; at least with my strength, there is no way to break this protective shell on the outside."
"Even Xue'er can't?" The Ice Empress tried it with some disbelief, and it was just as the Snow Empress had stated—she was completely unable to shake this layer of strange outer shell outside.
And this feeling of helplessness was precisely what they had just experienced...
"Could this be something belonging to some deity again?" The Ice Empress looked at Lang Lei with some surprise.
Divine miracles that they had failed to touch for tens of thousands of years—had Lang Lei directly encountered two of them in this short period of time?
Or rather... even more?
Thinking of how the two of them had been completely oblivious despite their strength just now, yet Lang Lei sensed it all at once...
She had to admit, sometimes fortune and strength really had nothing to do with each other.
"Lang Lei, give it a try." After studying it carefully for a while and finding no issues, the Snow Empress handed it directly to Lang Lei.
They had no intention of hogging Lang Lei's fortune. One reason was that Lang Lei was already regarded by them as family, so naturally they wouldn't do something like snatching items from family. Furthermore, they were clearly unrelated to this stroke of fortune; since Lang Lei could sense the existence of this item, perhaps Lang Lei could also make use of it.
"Alright." The moment Lang Lei took the white sphere, he felt a surge of power begin to pour from the white sphere into his own body.
"Aili! Hurry!" This was something useful to Elysia, and Lang Lei certainly didn't want to get himself intercepted in the middle of taking it.
He had ten thousand methods he could use if he wanted to grow stronger, but items useful to Elysia were few and far between...
"Thanks a lot, Lang Lei~?"
As she spoke, this power pouring into Lang Lei's body transformed into two streams, with a portion flowing into the Crystal Flower within Lang Lei's body, while the other portion rushed straight toward Lang Lei's Sea of Consciousness.
"What are we standing on ceremony for, you and I? Speaking of which, why didn't you take all of it?"
"I'm very happy that Lang Lei can say that, but that portion wouldn't have much effect on me anyway, so taking all of it would be a bit too greedy~?"
Seeing Elysia provide her explanation, Lang Lei did not probe deeper and continued maintaining the absorption of energy.
Inside his mind, Elysia let out a sigh of relief. Good thing Lang Lei didn't doubt it.
Yes, in her view, giving that portion of power to LangLei was far more useful than taking it for herself. Moreover, with Lang Lei considering her to such an extent, how could she possibly be selfish?
