Evil Eyed White Tiger Dai Mubai crossed his arms over his chest and nodded, a hint of arrogance in his tone.
"That really is a little absurd. I think the Sky Screen is probably malfunctioning."
However, just as everyone was discussing it heatedly, the usually silent "Master," Yu Xiaogang, suddenly shuddered violently and cried out in shock.
"Co-lord of Soul Beasts?! Silver Dragon King... Gu Yuena?!"
His voice was filled with horror and disbelief, and his face instantly turned pale.
Everyone froze and turned to look at him.
Ning Rongrong blinked her lively eyes, her long legs beneath her glazed skirt drawing slightly together as she asked curiously.
"Master, why do you look like that? Do you know Gu Yuena's background?"
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath as though trying to calm the raging waves in his heart. With trembling hands, he took a yellowed ancient book from his Soul Tool.
"More than just know..."
He turned to one page and spoke in a dry voice.
"Spirit Hall's secret scriptures once contained a fragmentary record. In the age of myth, a supreme God was born between heaven and earth, known as the Dragon God!"
"The Dragon God was the ancestor of all dragons, the source of every Dragon Clan bloodline, and the most powerful Deity of that era, without equal!"
"And this Silver Dragon King was formed from the kind side of the Dragon God!"
Yu Xiaogang's voice was not loud, yet each word struck Shrek like thunder.
"Think about it. The Golden Holy Dragon summoned by our Golden Iron Triangle's fusion skill already possessed strength close to that of a Titled Douluo, yet it could not even be considered a true dragon!"
"And this Silver Dragon King was an existence of nobler blood than every Dragon King, split from the supreme Dragon God! Her status and power... are beyond imagining!"
What?!
The mockery and disdain on the faces of the Shrek group instantly froze, replaced by utter stupefaction and shock.
Xiao Wu opened her mouth wide, unable to say a single word.
Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai's foreheads.
They had just... mocked a terrifying existence split from the God of Creation?
Even the usually composed Tang San felt towering waves rise within his heart.
He had heard of the Dragon God's legend as well.
The origins of Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena were simply too astonishing!
Co-lord of Soul Beasts... so that title was not exaggerated in the slightest!
The air fell deathly silent; even a needle dropping could have been heard.
After a long while, Xiao Wu came back to her senses. Her lovely rabbit ears twitched uneasily, and her voice trembled.
"So... that Silver Dragon King's Tear really is a supreme treasure?"
Tang San stared intently at the Sky Screen, his Purple Demon Eye pushed to its limit as though he wanted to see the cosmos and stars contained within that tear clearly.
"It is far more than a supreme treasure."
"The Ranking List says it is worth as much as a Half-step Super Divine Artifact. Such an appraisal has already surpassed the realm of what we can imagine."
"It truly is a peerless treasure!"
The others felt another fierce tremor in their hearts.
Super Divine Artifacts were things that existed only in legend, ultimate weapons that only Deities could possess.
Yet this tear could actually be mentioned in the same breath as a "Half-step Super Divine Artifact"!
The silent Zhu Zhuqing finally spoke softly as well.
Thoughtful light flickered within her cool catlike eyes.
"Only one drop can be condensed in an entire lifetime..."
"There must be a deeper story behind it."
She stood there quietly, her tight black leather outfit perfectly outlining her astonishing curves.
In particular, her long, straight, beautiful legs glowed with healthy radiance beneath the sunlight, full of explosive power and wild allure.
Her temperament seemed wholly out of place with such a sorrowful tale, but no one could match her keen insight.
Ning Rongrong nodded in deep agreement.
Her long legs beneath the exquisite skirt of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect crossed lightly as she rested her cheeks in her hands. A mist rose in her beautiful eyes, brimming with emotion.
"Yes, the Ranking List says that after Gu Yuena learned that her husband had died of old age, she shed this tear in her sleep because of her overwhelming longing."
"This Silver Dragon King must have loved her husband very, very deeply."
She sighed softly, her tone filled with sympathy and yearning.
"Her beloved died of old age, yet she, as a God, could only grieve alone through the long years, helplessly watching the one she loved turn to dust."
"This... really is such a moving story!"
A young girl's heart was always poetic. Ning Rongrong had been completely moved by this love story that transcended life and death.
Oscar, listening nearby, could not help but sigh with emotion.
"Yes. I wonder what kind of person could have earned the favor of the Silver Dragon King and made her love him so deeply."
Ma Hongjun scratched his head and said in a muffled voice.
"A man who could marry the Co-lord of Soul Beasts definitely wasn't ordinary, right? Too bad he still died of old age. What a pity."
For a time, the Shrek group discussed it endlessly, their conversation revolving around the mysterious Silver Dragon King and her long-departed beloved.
They developed heartfelt respect for this Co-lord of Soul Beasts whom they had never met.
Meanwhile.
Inside the central command tent of the Spirit Hall Empire at Jialing Pass.
Bibi Dong sat upon the Pope Throne, and her regal phoenix eyes were filled with astonishment.
"Gu Yuena? The Silver Dragon King, Co-lord of Soul Beasts?"
Her crimson lips parted as she slowly repeated the unfamiliar title word by word.
"Who is this person? Why have I never heard of her?"
As the Pope of Spirit Hall and now the Empress of the Spirit Hall Empire, she considered herself thoroughly familiar with the powerful figures and secrets of Douluo Continent.
Yet this "Co-lord of Soul Beasts" seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
Her thoughts raced.
In order to hunt Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and obtain top-tier Spirit Rings, she had led Spirit Hall's elite forces more than once to turn the entire Star Dou Great Forest upside down.
But aside from Da Ming and Er Ming, she had never discovered another existence bearing such a terrifying title.
Could this Co-lord of Soul Beasts not be in the Star Dou Great Forest?
Was she in the Extreme North Land?
Or within that boundless sea?
Bibi Dong's brows drew together slightly.
Hu Liena, standing beside her, had a completely different reaction.
The Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall and core member of the Golden Generation had reddened eyes, shimmering with a crystalline layer of tears.
"Wuwuwu... Teacher..."
Her voice choked with sobs. She had been completely moved by the story on the Sky Screen.
"Her beloved grew old, while she possessed eternal life. She could only languish from longing through endless sleep, and in the end shed this tear filled with true emotion..."
"This story is simply too moving!"
