Just a Tiny Bit Short

The creature before him was covered in silver radiance. Its sharp claws and hard scales did not diminish its beauty; instead, they made the Silver Dragon King appear even more powerful.

Lu Wu looked at the Silver Dragon King's appearance and nodded in satisfaction. Though she looked somewhat different from most of those arrogant Dragon Race fellows, she was still a dragon. It was like the exotic beauties of the Western Regions from his life before last—both were human, yet they gave off entirely different kinds of beauty.

"What method do you have to help me recover from my injuries?"

Intense hatred flashed through the Silver Dragon King's eyes. Her injuries had been left behind by the previous Asura God. The lingering Asura Divine Power had been obstructing her body's recovery all along. Otherwise, how could she still be hiding here after all this time?

With a flash, Lu Wu arrived atop the Silver Dragon King's body. Wisdom shone in his deep blue eyes as he continuously analyzed the Asura Divine Power within her.

The Silver Dragon King watched Lu Wu's actions in confusion, unable to understand what he intended to do. What could he possibly learn just by looking? She had studied it for countless years, yet she could only barely repair her body.

"What are you looking at?"

The Silver Dragon King finally could not help asking.

"Of course I'm looking at this so-called Asura Divine Power. There are currently two methods to treat your injuries. I wonder which one you'll choose."

Lu Wu jumped down from the Silver Dragon King's body and looked up at the enormous creature before him, smacking his lips. If he did not care so little about such things, he would have enlarged himself long ago and met her gaze directly.

"Two?"

The Silver Dragon King was very curious about the methods Lu Wu had proposed.

"First, I can help you remove the Asura Divine Power. I've already comprehended the laws contained within it. After all, they're laws from a low-level plane, so they're fairly easy to understand. Once this divine power stops interfering, you should be able to recover from your injuries quickly, right?"

The Silver Dragon King instinctively opened her mouth wide. Are you joking? This thing has tormented me for so many years, and you're telling me you've already comprehended the laws within it? Is the gap between us really that great?

Lu Wu saw the shock in the Silver Dragon King's eyes. He slowly raised his right claw, curled it, and pinched out a fingertip-sized universe, a strange smile appearing on his face.

"After all, the difference in our knowledge and comprehension is only that tiny little bit, so it's perfectly reasonable that I understood it so quickly, right? It's not like anyone would spend countless years failing to comprehend something this simple."

This isn't reasonable at all!!!

The Silver Dragon King's heart churned violently. The Asura God was one of the five great God Kings of the God Realm. How could it possibly be easy to analyze his power? At the very least, she had not figured it out yet.

"Ahem, ahem. Very reasonable. It's just that my injuries were too severe before, so I didn't think of this method."

The Silver Dragon King's face stiffened as she spoke somewhat unnaturally. Compared to admitting she was foolish, it was better to say she had forgotten.

"That's good, then. I suppose you won't need my help anymore. Now that you remember, you should be able to resolve the divine power very quickly."

Amusement filled Lu Wu's eyes. At last, he had regained his former feeling. After sleeping in the chaos for so many years, he felt as though his whole body had begun to stiffen. He refused to become that kind of demon.

"I still need your help. After all, I can't afford to delay any longer."

Though the Silver Dragon King said so, when she saw the smile in the snow-white beast's eyes, her cheeks still grew slightly hot.

Lu Wu did not continue teasing her and shifted the topic to the second method.

"I don't specialize in the Law of Life. Compared to healing faster after being injured, I prefer not being injured at all, so I cannot heal you directly."

"The second method is to give you a Dragon Race cultivation technique. It will help you refine your Dragon Race bloodline and evolve toward a higher bloodline level, allowing you to break through that boundary and heal yourself. Consider it a reward for agreeing to the trade so decisively."

"Does your world also have a Dragon Race?"

The Silver Dragon King paid no attention to the so-called cultivation technique. All her attention was focused on the Dragon Race Lu Wu had mentioned, and she was extremely curious about what the Dragon Race in his world was like.

"Of course. They were the overlords of the previous era and a high-ranking force in this era. After all, their family still has several ancient ancestors as its foundation."

As he recalled that time, Lu Wu began to miss the taste of dragons. After failing to recruit the Dragon Race back then, he had asked Taiyi to help him hunt a few dragons so he could taste them.

To make a dragon and phoenix pair for good fortune, Taiyi used his Quasi-Saint cultivation along with the Eastern Emperor Bell to freeze space and time, ambushing a Fire Phoenix at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. He and Lu Wu then enjoyed the delicacy together.

Of course, only the two of them knew about it. Did Taiyi not care about his reputation?

Afterward, the Undying Volcano suppressed by Ancestor Phoenix erupted several times because of it. The Phoenix Race had only a few dozen pure-blooded clansmen in total. If it happened a few more times, the Phoenix Race would be driven to extinction. Compared to the Phoenix Race, the Dragon Race had fared much better.

"So, which method do you choose?"

Lu Wu shook his head and stopped thinking about those matters. The lofty saints, the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, whose emotions he did not know existed or not... Taiyi had sent him out of the Primordial Realm precisely because of despair.

So he was not in a hurry. He would walk forward step by step. That was the Primordial Realm. He needed to live long enough before he could hope to return and see those people again. Perhaps he might even see Bai Ze. That fellow was even better than him at avoiding disaster.

"I choose the second method."

The Silver Dragon King made her choice quickly. The other party's world was clearly of a much higher level than the God Realm, and there was also that Dragon Race-exclusive cultivation technique. Perhaps it could allow her to reach the Dragon God's realm without needing to devour the Golden Dragon King.

As for how effective it truly was, the other party would have to teach it to her, wouldn't he? And since he had offered it as a treatment method, it should at least guarantee the healing of her injuries.

The Silver Dragon King felt that she was very clever. No matter what, she would not lose out.

A smile appeared on Lu Wu's face. He wanted the name of demons to spread throughout the entire chaos, so he could begin cultivating the Demon Race from now on.

What was a demon? The Demon Race was not a clearly defined single race. The original reason the Demon Race appeared was that the brutes of the Witch Race could eat far too much and were far too powerful. Spirits and monsters of any single race simply could not defeat them, so the various races banded together to form the Demon Race and oppose the Witch Race.

The Demon Race was really just a mixed bag. As long as you acknowledged yourself as a demon, then you were a member of the Demon Race. Everyone could join together and fight the Witch Race.

As for why the Dragon Race was not part of the Demon Race, it was simply because their era had come too early and their foundation was too deep. At the time, they could not be forcibly brought into the Demon Race.

But things were different now. Though the Dragon Race before him might merely be a creature formed under the influence of the Primordial Realm's concept of dragons, it was still called the Dragon Race. Now, Lu Wu would turn her into a demon. It would count as settling Taiyi's grievance over being turned away by the Dragon Race back then, and he could also gain a share of that intangible fortune.

What! You say they already ate dragons to take revenge back then? They didn't eat the heirs, so what revenge did that settle? The Dragon Race merely lost a few young dragons, but Taiyi lost his face!

"Alright."

Lu Wu extended his right claw, and a speck of white light entered the Silver Dragon King's mind. The vast amount of information made her head feel as though it were swelling.
