"The power of the Silver Dragon King?" Just as God of Destruction stepped into the Palace of Life, his steps suddenly felt as if they were being held back by an invisible force, halting abruptly and stopping dead in his tracks.
"What's wrong?" Goddess of Life clearly knew long ago that God of Destruction would come today. She had already been standing outside the temple, quietly waiting for his arrival. Seeing God of Destruction stop so suddenly now, she could not help but feel doubtful, quickly stepping forward and asking with concern.
The expression of God of Destruction was exceptionally solemn. His brow was furrowed tightly, as if he had run into something extremely tricky. Gazing at Goddess of Life, he slowly said, "Just now, I sensed a power belonging to the Silver Dragon King on Lang Lei."
"What?" Hearing this, the complexion of Goddess of Life instantly turned pale, and she cried out in alarm, "Then Lang Lei right now..."
The God Realm Great War back then could be described as a world-shaking and earth-shattering tragic battle. In that war, Goddess of Life and God of Destruction were both absolute mainstays, and the hatred they held toward the Silver Dragon King was no less than that of Shura God who had slain the Dragon God. Now, the power of the Silver Dragon King had actually been discovered on Lang Lei, which made Goddess of Life inevitably worry about the safety of Lang Lei.
After all, the hatred the Silver Dragon King held toward them could be described as engraved on her very bones, and with such deep-seated enmity, no one could guarantee that the Silver Dragon King would not ruthlessly kill Lang Lei, who was their inheritor.
God of Destruction seemed to perceive the inner anxiety of Goddess of Life, and he hurriedly spoke to comfort her, "Don't you worry for now. From the current situation, Lang Lei shouldn't be in any mortal danger for the time being. My God Trial is still proceeding step by step, and if any unexpected situation really happens, I can use the power of the God Trial to protect him a little." As soon as he finished speaking, the gaze of God of Destruction, like two bolts of lightning, crossed Goddess of Life and landed directly on Douluo Continent.
Just like before, although they were unable to clearly see the specific things around Lang Lei, they could roughly guess what kind of power was making trouble behind the scenes and what the physical condition of Lang Lei actually was at the moment. When the perception of God of Destruction touched that power of the Silver Dragon King, he could not help but freeze as well.
"The Reverse Scale of the Silver Dragon King? And her origin?" God of Destruction muttered to himself, clearly feeling extremely surprised by this discovery.
Normally speaking, the reverse scale was of peerless importance to the dragon race, absolutely a supreme existence. Even if other creatures accidentally touched it, it would arouse the extreme anger of the dragon race. Trying to obtain a reverse scale from a dragon was practically harder than ascending to heaven; unless that dragon was put to death, it was simply impossible to get its reverse scale.
As for the origin, it went without saying—this was the most core and fundamental thing of any living creature! Even if it was just an extremely tiny shred, its importance was self-evident.
Just after God of Destruction told Goddess of Life his startling discovery, Goddess of Life fell silent for a moment, as if deep in thought about something. After a while, she finally spoke, but her tone appeared somewhat hesitant and uncertain.
"Little Zi, do you... think the Silver Dragon King might have already fallen?" The words of Goddess of Life caught God of Destruction somewhat off guard, and he could not help looking at Goddess of Life in astonishment, clearly feeling very puzzled by this idea of hers.
"Hmm?" God of Destruction let out a doubtful hum, clearly not understanding why Goddess of Life would suddenly have such a notion.
Seeing this, Goddess of Life explained, "Look, the reverse scale is the most crucial dragon scale on the dragon race, and this reverse scale actually happened to be tainted with the origin of the Silver Dragon King. According to common sense, unless the Silver Dragon King willingly bestowed this reverse scale upon someone else, I really find it hard to imagine what other situation, aside from the Silver Dragon King having already fallen, could allow Lang Lei to obtain such a reverse scale carrying the origin of the Silver Dragon King."
"That makes some sense..." God of Destruction muttered to himself. His brain had never been as nimble as that of Goddess of Life, so in many matters, he quite listened to the opinions of Goddess of Life. Especially when facing this affair concerning the Silver Dragon King, the analysis of Goddess of Life made him feel it was very reasonable.
After all, when the Silver Dragon King fled, she had indeed been slashed by Shura God once more, suffering severe injuries, and without the support of divine power in the lower realm, recovery was even harder. Coming to this, the fall of the Silver Dragon King did not seem entirely unacceptable either.
However, a trace of doubt still lingered in the heart of God of Destruction, and he could not help asking, "However, could Lang Lei be influenced by this power?"
Goddess of Life smiled slightly and explained, "Little Zi, have you forgotten the source of Lang Lei's soul? He was brought by that being! If we exerted our full might, how could we possibly influence that being? Or rather, when we were nurturing Lang Lei, when were we ever able to influence him?"
Hearing this, the image of that centaur-like deity immediately surfaced in the mind of God of Destruction, and his body trembled involuntarily. The impression that existence had left on him was simply too profound, to the extent that just recalling it made him shiver inside.
"We couldn't..." God of Destruction said in a low voice. He knew full well the strength of that existence; it was definitely not something they, these gods, could reach. Was that truly an existence from the universe? This question lingered persistently in his mind.
"If someone connected to that being could be influenced by the power of a mere reverse scale tainted with the Silver Dragon King's origin, then we couldn't possibly have won the God Realm Great War. Moreover, coming to this, it might not necessarily be a bad thing for Lang Lei."
"A bad thing?"
"Though the God Position should be nowhere to be found now that the Silver Dragon King has fallen, Little Zi, don't forget there is still a God Position in the God Realm that is very suitable for Lang Lei."
"You mean..." The eyes of God of Destruction lit up.
"That's right, it's the God Position of the Golden Dragon King."
One person holding three God Positions—neither of them dared to imagine just how strong Lang Lei's strength would be in the future.
Seeing God of Destruction rush off eagerly to verify the feasibility of this matter, Goddess of Life let out a sigh of relief.
God of Destruction should be successfully brushed off on this front for now, preventing him from constantly paying attention to the whereabouts of the Silver Dragon King.
To tell the truth, Goddess of Life herself was rather inclined toward peaceful coexistence between the gods of the God Realm and the numerous divine beasts. Back then, had the Dragon God not fallen into madness, she would not have actively participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Dragon God.
And when the Dragon God split into the frenzied Golden Dragon King and the rational Silver Dragon King, she had actually already leaned toward ending this war as quickly as possible rather than continuing to pursue the Silver Dragon King.
Alas, Shura God was willfully obstinate and she could not persuade him, while the attitude of God of Destruction also favored cutting weeds and eliminating roots, so naturally she had not said much more.
Seeing the reverse scale of the Silver Dragon King this time, she had actually already realized that the Silver Dragon King was definitely not dead yet, and was even searching for a way out for the Soul Beast race.
As long as the other party did not actively provoke a war, she herself still did not want to make the God Realm jittery just because she knew of the Silver Dragon King's existence.
