Silver Dragon Bows to Dragon God's Return, Nine-Colored Dragon God Spear!

As the spatial ripples gradually subsided, Lin Yuan had already landed at the edge of a dense forest, the air filled with the fresh scent of grass, trees, and soil. Though he couldn't pinpoint his exact location, he was certain he was close to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Not long after walking, a wooden sign by the roadside suddenly caught Lin Yuan's attention. It read: "Fifty li ahead, you will enter the Star Dou Great Forest. Soul beasts roam—please be careful!"

"I was right, this is the Star Dou Great Forest!" Lin Yuan could barely contain his excitement. For him now, a distance of fifty li was nothing more than a fleeting moment to cross.

In the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian knelt on one knee, looking up at Gu Yue Na, and said respectfully, "Master, should I go bring back Lord Dragon God?"

Just moments ago, they had clearly sensed that familiar aura. This time, it wasn't the brief, blurry glimpse from before—it had become steady and clear, as if the Dragon God was rapidly approaching the Star Dou Great Forest.

"No need. Stay here. I'll go myself." As Gu Yue Na spoke, she raised her fair jade hand and lightly tapped the void before her. A gate far more solid than the Space Gate Lin Yuan had opened instantly took shape, and she stepped gracefully into it.

Di Tian watched the direction where his master had vanished, his clenched fists slowly relaxing, anticipation brimming in his eyes. After ten thousand years of waiting, the hope of the soul beast race was finally here.

At that moment, Lin Yuan, who had just stepped into the outer edges of the Star Dou Great Forest, suddenly caught a faint, crisp fragrance in the air. Though subtle, it instantly relaxed his tense nerves, and his steps came to an involuntary halt.

Just as Lin Yuan was puzzled, the void before him suddenly rippled with spatial fluctuations. Unlike the rough Space Gate he had opened, this one spread out as smoothly as flowing water. Then, a graceful, stunning figure stepped out slowly, stopping right in front of him.

The faint, elusive fragrance suddenly grew rich. The newcomer was a woman, about 1.9 meters tall, with silver hair cascading to her ankles. A silver-white dress of the same color perfectly outlined her curvaceous figure. Her skin was as white as snow, and her brows and eyes carried an innate coolness and nobility. What struck Lin Yuan most were her purple eyes, identical to his own, clear and deep. She was nothing short of a celestial maiden descending to earth.

Staring at the woman before him, Lin Yuan was utterly captivated. His small body froze in place, and his usually clear, calm purple eyes seemed spellbound, locked onto her.

As a transmigrator, Lin Yuan naturally knew everything about Gu Yue Na. The woman before him was hailed as the most beautiful being in the Douluo Continent. Though he had mentally prepared himself, seeing was believing—the impact of her standing right there far surpassed any written description. Of course, he couldn't directly reveal her identity, since they had no prior connection.

"Fairy sister, who are you? You're so pretty!" Lin Yuan looked up with his small face, his childish voice filled with undisguised admiration.

"Pretty?" Gu Yue Na was momentarily stunned. She looked down at Lin Yuan, who was gazing up at her, and the usual coldness in her eyes softened slightly. Then, she knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Subordinate Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue Na, pays respects to Lord Dragon God!"

"My name is Lin Yuan, not Lord Dragon God." Lin Yuan quickly waved his hands, his childish voice tinged with a hint of panic as he instinctively stepped back half a step, his purple eyes full of confusion. "Fairy sister, did you mistake me for someone else?"

Hearing this, Gu Yue Na didn't rise. Her gaze rested on Lin Yuan, and her tone grew even more respectful: "Your subordinate would never be mistaken. The Dragon God Bloodline is enough to prove your identity. Lin Yuan must be your name in this life. Perhaps you've temporarily lost your memory and don't remember us, but in my heart, you will always be Lord Dragon God."

Watching Gu Yue Na kneeling on one knee with such reverence, Lin Yuan's small face was full of conflict. He knew he couldn't hide his Dragon God Bloodline from the Silver Dragon King before him, but in his current childlike form, paired with a soft, childish voice, he was far from the imposing image of the Dragon God.

Lin Yuan tightened his small hand gripping his clothes, his childish voice carrying a hint of panic: "But I've only just awakened my martial soul. I don't even know how to use soul skills. How can I be the Lord Dragon God you're talking about, Sister Nana?"

Gu Yue Na's tone softened further: "Bloodlines never lie. Your power has only just begun to awaken. The Lord Dragon God of old roamed the universe, but he wasn't born invincible either. Growth takes time."

Lin Yuan looked at Gu Yue Na's purple eyes, so similar to his own, and suddenly remembered the system quest. His small face inexplicably flushed. "Sister Nana, if I did something to wrong you, would you be angry?"

"No." Gu Yue Na gently shook her head.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan slowly released his grip on his clothes, the tips of his ears quietly turning a faint pink. His soft, childish voice carried a hint of nervousness: "Then... Sister Nana, can you close your eyes first?"

Gu Yue Na was slightly taken aback. Though she didn't know what the boy intended to do, she obediently closed her eyes. Her long lashes gently fell, casting a soft shadow on her pale cheeks, and the cool aura around her seemed to mellow.

"Lord Dragon God, is this... alright?"

Before she finished speaking, Lin Yuan stood on tiptoe, gently steadying himself with one hand on Gu Yue Na's knee while carefully placing the other on her shoulder. Without a moment's hesitation, he tilted his small face up and pressed his soft lips lightly against Gu Yue Na's cool ones.

The soft touch sent Lin Yuan's heart racing, his breath quickening. He had intended to quickly complete the system quest, but the moment their lips met, he found himself reluctant to pull away.

Gu Yue Na's body stiffened for an instant, her curled lashes fluttering like butterfly wings. Though her cool eyes remained shut, the tips of her ears quietly flushed a light red. She didn't push Lin Yuan away; instead, she slightly lowered her head to accommodate his tiptoed stance, making the soft contact even gentler.

[Ding! Time-limited quest complete. Congratulations, host, on unlocking the Dragon God Domain!]

The system notification rang in his mind, and Lin Yuan snapped back to reality. He gently pushed away from Gu Yue Na as if burned, taking two small steps back. Beneath his silver-white hair, his small face was already as red as a ripe apple, his breath coming in panicked gasps.

He didn't dare look up at Gu Yue Na's eyes, his soft voice barely a whisper: "Um... Sister Nana, I didn't mean to, it's just... there was something I had to do..."

Gu Yue Na slowly opened her eyes, her purple gaze devoid of any blame. She rose with movements so gentle they seemed careful not to startle the blushing boy before her, her voice softening further: "Xiao Yuan, don't panic. Sister Nana isn't angry. But just now, did it feel uncomfortable for you?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan's ears turned so red they seemed ready to bleed. He lowered his head even further, his childish voice still carrying unsettled panic: "It wasn't uncomfortable... just... a little nervous."

As soon as he said it, he suddenly remembered something and looked up sharply at Gu Yue Na, his purple eyes full of urgency: "Sister Nana, are you really not angry? I didn't mean to offend you!"

Gu Yue Na looked at Lin Yuan's red-rimmed eyes, reached out, and gently ruffled his hair, her tone growing even softer: "I'm really not angry. For me, being able to be close to you is already something to be happy about. Besides, Sister Nana thinks Xiao Yuan's lips are very soft."

"Huh?" Lin Yuan looked up abruptly, his purple eyes full of disbelief. He had expected Gu Yue Na to at least show surprise or distance, even if she wasn't angry, but he never anticipated she would not only not blame him but say something like that. He instinctively stepped back half a step, his childish voice stammering: "Sis... Sister Nana, you... how..."

Before he could finish, Gu Yue Na gently interrupted him. She slowly stood up, her tall figure imposing yet not oppressive. Instead, because of that kiss, a hint of softness had crept into her cool brows and eyes. She extended her fair hand and gently lifted Lin Yuan into her arms, her voice tender: "Because it's Xiao Yuan, it's fine." As she spoke, a silver-white Space Gate instantly unfolded before her. Gu Yue Na tightened her arms slightly, cradling Lin Yuan protectively, and stepped slowly into it.

The moment the Space Gate closed, the mechanical voice of the system that had rung in Lin Yuan's mind earlier sounded again—though as the host, he didn't hear it.

[Ding! System has blocked the Divine Realm. Detecting host's entry into the Star Dou Great Forest. Erasing all memories of the host's martial soul awakening from all humans on the Douluo Continent!]

[Ding! System is taking control of the Golden Tree, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Qiankun Asking Love Valley, Dragon Clan Graveyard... Control complete!]

[Ding! System is taking over the authority of the Lord of the Douluo Continent Plane... Takeover complete! The host's will is now the plane's will!]

In the Space Channel, Lin Yuan felt enveloped by a warm aura. Gu Yue Na's arms holding him were steady yet incredibly gentle, allowing his tense nerves to fully relax. Before long, the two arrived at the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest—a region all human soul masters called the "Great Ominous Land."

Stepping out of the Space Gate, Lin Yuan, still held in Gu Yue Na's arms, was instantly captivated by the sight before him. Though the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest was renowned as one of the most terrifying ominous lands on the continent, where no soul master dared tread lightly, actually being here made Lin Yuan realize the stark contrast between rumor and reality.

The first thing that caught his eye was a small lake, so clear he could see the opposite shore at a glance. The pale green water shimmered like a natural emerald, glowing with vibrant life. Around the lake, towering ancient trees soared into the sky. A light mist hung over the lake's surface, and the humid air carried the unique fragrance of plants. The vitality here was at least several times greater than the outside world.

Just then, two figures emerged swiftly from the depths of the dense forest, coming to Gu Yue Na's side. They were Di Tian and Biji, the two Fierce Beasts who had been waiting there earlier. To avoid frightening Lin Yuan, who was human, they had taken human form.

Di Tian's gaze immediately locked onto Lin Yuan, who possessed the Dragon God Bloodline. His already excited expression grew even more fervent. He knelt on one knee, his voice trembling with barely suppressed excitement: "Greetings, Master! Greetings, Lord Dragon God, on your return!"

Biji followed suit, kneeling and bowing, her emerald eyes full of reverence: "Your subordinate Biji pays respects to Lord Dragon God and Master."

The sudden display left Lin Yuan flustered. He instinctively hid behind Gu Yue Na, speaking timidly: "You don't have to call me that. I have a name—it's Lin Yuan."

Gu Yue Na held Lin Yuan's hand and looked at Di Tian and Biji, her voice cool: "In this life, his name is Lin Yuan. For now, there's no need to address him as Lord Dragon God."

Di Tian was momentarily stunned, then quickly understood—his master was being considerate of the fact that Lord Dragon God had yet to recover his memories. He quickly composed himself and replied respectfully, "Yes, your subordinate understands."

Biji also nodded, her gaze falling on Lin Yuan, who was hidden behind Gu Yue Na, a hint of softness entering her eyes. This young Dragon God before her appeared even more immature than she had imagined.

"By the way, Sister Nana, how do I use these things?" Lin Yuan took a deep breath, intending to change the subject. He raised his hand to press against his chest, and with a thought, four objects radiating different lusters slowly floated before him—the four Super Artifacts gifted by the system: the Dragon God Spear, the Dragon God's Tear, the Ascending Dragon Pillar, and the Dragon Slaying Saber.

"These are all Lord Dragon God's artifacts; using them isn't too difficult. But Sister Nana suggests that Xiao Yuan focus on quality over quantity with Super Artifacts. What you should do most urgently now is to deeply align your own strength with the Dragon God Bloodline, then choose the most suitable one from these four Super Artifacts for your current state, and refine and master it with your heart." Gu Yue Na looked at the Super Artifacts floating before Lin Yuan and spoke softly.

"So troublesome..." Lin Yuan muttered, reaching out to lightly tap the surfaces of the Dragon God's Tear, the Ascending Dragon Pillar, and the Dragon Slaying Saber. The next second, the radiance around these three Super Artifacts suddenly converged, merging one after another into the Dragon God Spear.

Gu Yue Na's hand, which had been reaching out, froze mid-air. Staring at this scene, her purple eyes were filled with shock, and her voice trembled: "Xiao Yuan, stop! Super Artifacts aren't that easy to fuse!"

But as her words fell, the three Super Artifacts floating before Lin Yuan had already completely merged into the Dragon God Spear. There was no expected energy explosion, no lengthy fusion process—as if they had always been part of the Dragon God Spear.

The Dragon God Spear, originally pure white with dragon patterns swirling around its tip, erupted in a dazzling nine-colored radiance the moment the three Super Artifacts merged. Within the light, the distinct artifact essences of the Ascending Dragon Pillar, the Dragon Slaying Saber, and the Dragon God's Tear flowed like streams into a river, perfectly blending with the essence of the Dragon God Spear.

The pure white dragon patterns on the spear's surface were covered by the nine-colored glow, re-sketched into more intricate and majestic lines. Each line seemed to contain the laws of heaven and earth, and as they shifted, faint dragon roars echoed. At the spear's tip, a nine-colored dragon shadow coiled and condensed, head raised, as if ready to break free from the spear's confines and soar into the sky.

"Sister Nana, what were you about to say?" Lin Yuan held the Nine-Colored Dragon God Spear, which had now advanced to a Quasi-Supreme Artifact, and looked at Gu Yue Na with confusion.

Gu Yue Na slowly lowered her hand, which had been suspended in the air, and gazed at the Nine-Colored Dragon God Spear, the shock in her eyes lingering for a long time: "Nothing, I just didn't expect these four Super Artifacts to fuse so easily in Xiao Yuan's hands."

Lin Yuan held the renewed Nine-Colored Dragon God Spear, feeling the resonance transmitted from the spear, then glanced at Di Tian and Biji, who were still kneeling on one knee. His brow furrowed slightly. Although he had inherited everything from the Dragon God, he still carried the egalitarian consciousness from Blue Star, and such a reverent posture made him quite uncomfortable.

He raised his hand and waved it, and the Nine-Colored Dragon God Spear in his grasp turned into a stream of light, merging into the back of his right hand, forming a small nine-colored dragon mark seal. It was neither ostentatious nor able to conceal the pressure of the Quasi-Supreme Artifact contained within.

"Both of you, get up. Even if I truly am the Dragon God reincarnated, that was a past life. In this life, I am first Lin Yuan, then the Dragon God you speak of. I'd rather interact with everyone as companions, not separated by the distance between master and subordinate."
