"The Silver Dragon King's power?" The moment the God of Destruction stepped into the Life Temple, his feet suddenly felt as if they were being dragged by an invisible force. He stopped abruptly, halting in his tracks.

"What's wrong?" The Goddess of Life clearly knew the God of Destruction would visit today. She was already standing outside the temple, quietly awaiting his arrival. Seeing him suddenly stop, she couldn't help but feel puzzled. She quickly walked forward and asked with concern.

The God of Destruction's expression was extremely solemn, his brows tightly furrowed, as if he had encountered something extremely troublesome. He gazed at the Goddess of Life and slowly said, "Just now, I detected a power belonging to the Silver Dragon King on Lang Lei."

"What?" Upon hearing this, the Goddess of Life's face instantly turned pale. She cried out in shock, "Then Lang Lei now..."

The great war in the God Realm back then was a fierce and earth-shattering battle. In that war, the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction were absolute main forces. Their hatred for the Silver Dragon King was no less than the Shura God's hatred for the Dragon God. Now, to find the Silver Dragon King's power on Lang Lei made the Goddess of Life worry about Lang Lei's safety.

After all, the Silver Dragon King's hatred for them was bone-deep. With such deep-seated animosity, no one could guarantee that the Silver Dragon King wouldn't try to kill Lang Lei, their successor.

The God of Destruction seemed to perceive the Goddess of Life's inner worries. He quickly spoke to comfort her, "Don't worry yet. From the current situation, Lang Lei should not be in mortal danger for the time being. My God Trial is still proceeding as planned. If any unexpected situation arises, I can use the power of the God Trial to protect him a little." As soon as he finished speaking, the God of Destruction's gaze, like two bolts of lightning, passed over the Goddess of Life and fell directly onto the Douluo Continent.

As before, although they couldn't see the specific things around Lang Lei, they could roughly guess what kind of power was at play and what Lang Lei's physical condition was like at the moment. When the God of Destruction's perception touched that power of the Silver Dragon King, he couldn't help but freeze.

"The Silver Dragon King's inverse scale? And its origin?" the God of Destruction muttered to himself, clearly surprised by this discovery.

Normally, the inverse scale was incomparably important to dragons, absolutely paramount. Even if other creatures accidentally touched it, it would provoke extreme anger from the dragon race. To obtain an inverse scale from a dragon was almost harder than ascending to heaven, unless the dragon was killed, otherwise, it was impossible to obtain its inverse scale.

As for the origin, there was no need to say more. This was the most core and fundamental thing for any living being! Even a tiny trace was of immeasurable importance.

After the God of Destruction told the Goddess of Life about his astonishing discovery, she fell silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought. After a while, she finally spoke, but her tone was hesitant and uncertain.

"Little Zi, do you think... the Silver Dragon King might have already perished?" The Goddess of Life's words caught the God of Destruction off guard. He looked at her in surprise, clearly puzzled by her thought.

"Huh?" The God of Destruction let out a soft, questioning hum, clearly not understanding why the Goddess of Life would suddenly have such an idea.

Seeing his reaction, the Goddess of Life explained, "Look, the inverse scale is the most crucial dragon scale on a dragon. And this inverse scale happens to be stained with the Silver Dragon King's origin. Normally, unless the Silver Dragon King willingly gifted this inverse scale to someone, I really can't imagine any other situation besides the Silver Dragon King having perished that would allow Lang Lei to obtain such an inverse scale with the Silver Dragon King's origin."

"Makes some sense..." the God of Destruction murmured. His mind was never as quick as the Goddess of Life's, so he often followed her opinions on many matters. Especially when it came to the Silver Dragon King, the Goddess of Life's analysis made a lot of sense to him.

After all, the Silver Dragon King was indeed severely injured by another sword strike from the Shura God when she fled, and without the support of divine power in the lower realm, recovery would be extremely difficult. In this case, the Silver Dragon King's demise didn't seem entirely unacceptable.

However, the God of Destruction still had a sliver of doubt. He couldn't help but ask, "But, won't Lang Lei be affected by this power?"

The Goddess of Life smiled faintly and explained, "Little Zi, have you forgotten the source of Lang Lei's soul? He was brought by that one! If we had gone all out, could we have affected that one? Or, when we were nurturing Lang Lei, did we ever manage to influence him?"

Upon hearing this, the God of Destruction's mind immediately conjured the image of that centaur-like deity. His body trembled involuntarily. That existence had left too profound an impression on him; merely recalling it made him tremble inwardly.

"No..." the God of Destruction said in a low voice. He knew the power of that being, which was far beyond what gods like them could reach. Was that truly an existence from the universe? The question lingered in his mind.

"If an existence related to that one could be influenced by the power of a mere inverse scale stained with the Silver Dragon King's origin, then we wouldn't have been able to win the war in the God Realm. Moreover, in that case, it might not be a bad thing for Lang Lei."

"A good thing?"

"Although after the Silver Dragon King perished, her God Position should be lost, Little Zi, don't forget that there is a God Position in the God Realm that is very suitable for Lang Lei."

"You mean..." The God of Destruction's eyes lit up.

"That's right, the Golden Dragon King's God Position."

One person, three God Positions. They dared not imagine how strong Lang Lei would become in the future.

Seeing the God of Destruction excitedly go to verify the feasibility of this matter, the Goddess of Life breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed the God of Destruction had been appeased for now, and wouldn't keep obsessing over the Silver Dragon King's whereabouts.

To be honest, the Goddess of Life herself leaned towards peaceful coexistence between the gods of the God Realm and the numerous soul beasts. If the Dragon God hadn't gone mad back then, she wouldn't have actively participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Dragon God.

When the Dragon God split into the mad Golden Dragon King and the rational Silver Dragon King, she had actually leaned towards ending the war as soon as possible, rather than continuing to pursue the Silver Dragon King.

However, the Shura God was determined, and she couldn't persuade him. The God of Destruction's attitude also leaned towards eradicating the roots, so she naturally didn't say much.

Seeing the Silver Dragon King's inverse scale this time, she had actually realized that the Silver Dragon King was definitely not dead, and was even looking for a way out for the soul beast race.

As long as the other party didn't actively provoke a war, she herself didn't want to make the God Realm become overly vigilant just because she knew of the Silver Dragon King's existence.
