After Di Tian led Ye Liangchen through the portal, he sensed an incomparably dense Life Power. As a transmigrator, he naturally knew that it was emitted by the Gold of Life within the lake. The Gold of Life itself had condensed from the life force of the Ancient Tree of Life, and the Silver Dragon King relied on it to slowly recover from her injuries.
His awakening of the Goddess of Life Spirit had startled her awake and caused her to emerge early. Otherwise, she would still have been asleep in this era!
After winding their way around, the two arrived at a Barrier at the deepest part of the lake. An enormous Palace stood before them.
"Master, I have brought the little fellow!" Di Tian respectfully bowed outside the Palace gates.
"Bring him in!" A woman's voice came from within the Palace.
"As you command, Master."
When Ye Liangchen followed Di Tian into the main hall, he saw a silver-white giant dragon hundreds of meters long coiled in the center of the hall.
"Ah! Th-this is a dragon?" Ye Liangchen saw the Silver Dragon and pretended to be terrified.
At this moment, the Silver Dragon was extremely weak, coiled upon the ground. Red Killing Intent seeped from her body from time to time. This red Killing Intent was Asura God's Power. That fellow was an evil god by nature; in Ye Liangchen's view, anyone who cultivated through Killing Power was somewhat unhinged.
However, Ye Liangchen felt that his Primordial Chaos Sutra seemed capable of refining this divine power. Interesting.
To put it plainly, divine power was merely a level higher than Soul Power, while Primal Chaos Power encompassed everything and was even more advanced than divine power.
Looking at the Silver Dragon, Ye Liangchen inwardly grumbled, Wasn't the Silver Dragon King said to be Douluo World's greatest beauty? Why was I brought here to see a dragon? At least transform into human form!
"Di Tian, leave first!" The Silver Dragon spoke in an ethereal female voice that was exceptionally pleasant to hear.
"As you command, Master."
"Kid, don't worry. Master will not harm you."
Di Tian calmly reassured him, then vanished, leaving Ye Liangchen alone in the Palace.
Since he was already here, Ye Liangchen and the Silver Dragon King simply stared wide-eyed at one another.
"Little fellow, did I frighten you?"
After a while, the Silver Dragon took the initiative to speak with this human cub.
"Ah! N-no." Ye Liangchen nodded, then shook his head, even pretending to take a step back.
It would have been a lie to say he was not afraid. This female dragon's head alone was at least ten meters tall, and her eyes were larger than the wheels of a heavy truck. Standing before the Silver Dragon King's true form, Ye Liangchen felt like an ant—not even enough to fill the gaps between her teeth.
Yet the Silver Dragon King did not look ferocious. Her purple eyes even carried a yandere air, with pink markings at their corners. Her delicate features made her look quite beautiful.
"Then I shall transform into human form to meet you!" The Silver Dragon King also felt that her true form was too enormous. This human cub's fear of her was only a natural reaction.
The reason the Silver Dragon King had revealed her true form was also to better tend to her wounds. Unfortunately, Asura God's Power was far too domineering. It had remained attached to her wounds for tens of thousands of years, preventing her injuries from healing.
"Whoosh..."
A burst of white light flashed. The Silver Dragon vanished, replaced by a peerlessly beautiful woman in a pure white dress. She was tall, around 1.78 meters, with white hair flowing down her back like three thousand strands of jade silk, incomparably smooth. Her purple eyes were utterly captivating. She wore no shoes, revealing a pair of exquisite, flawless jade feet. An ethereal aura surrounded her, as though she were a fairy untouched by mortal life.
She truly deserved to be called Douluo World's greatest beauty! Only the Snow Woman could compare to her in temperament.
However, the Silver Dragon King was seriously wounded. A trace of yandere melancholy lingered on her peerless face, making her seem especially delicate and pitiable.
"How about it? You aren't afraid now, are you?"
The Silver Dragon King floated directly toward Ye Liangchen without her feet touching the ground, like a White-clad Fairy.
"Big sister, you're so beautiful."
Naturally, Ye Liangchen had to praise a beauty. Even if she was a female dragon who had undergone Humanoid Transformation, praise was still due.
Speaking of which, once the female soul beasts of the Douluo World transformed into human form, none of them were ugly. Every one of them was a stunning beauty: Xiao Wu and her mother, the Blue Silver Emperor, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress, and so on. Of course, the most beautiful of all was the Silver Dragon King.
"Little fellow, you're quite handsome too!"
As the Silver Dragon King looked at this human cub before her, she found him to be the most handsome human she had ever seen.
Men liked beautiful women, and women likewise liked handsome men. Even though the Silver Dragon King was a female dragon, her sense of beauty was the same as a human's.
"Beautiful big sister, do you have a name?" Ye Liangchen deliberately asked in curiosity.
"I am the divine beast Silver Dragon King, considered the ancestor of soul beasts. I do not have a name." The Silver Dragon King directly revealed her identity, though she had yet to name herself.
"Ah! A divine beast? The ancestor of soul beasts? Then Di Tian and Bi Ji are too?" Ye Liangchen exclaimed, pretending to be frightened.
"When soul beasts cultivate for a million years and become gods, they are called divine beasts. Di Tian is a Golden Eyed Black Dragon over eight hundred thousand years old, while Bi Ji is an Emerald Swan over five hundred thousand years old. There are also Xiong Jun, Scarlet King, Ten Thousand Demon King, and Zi Ji, all soul beasts over two hundred thousand years old. They may also be called Fierce Beasts. In the Far North, there are also the Snow Woman and the Ice Empress, Fierce Beasts with cultivation of several hundred thousand years. Oh, and in the sea, there is a Deep Sea Demonic Whale King whose cultivation has nearly reached a million years."
The Silver Dragon King slowly explained the powerful members of the soul beast race to Ye Liangchen. Since this little fellow shared a common enemy with her, she had no intention of hiding it.
"So that's how it is!" Ye Liangchen put on an astonished expression. He had long known all of this; the Silver Dragon King had merely omitted the Million Year Ice Silkworm.
"Dragon Sister, you're so beautiful. How about I give you a name? Gu Yuena. What do you think?"
Ye Liangchen directly suggested the name Gu Yuena. After all, this female dragon bore that name in the future.
"Gu Yuena? Good! Then that shall be my name. From now on, I'll call you Little Chen too." Gu Yuena thought the name was rather nice and agreed.
"Sister Na, why did you call me here?" Ye Liangchen pretended to ask curiously.
"Little Chen, first summon your Goddess of Life Spirit and let me take a look."
Gu Yuena knew that the Goddess of Life's divine power possessed extraordinarily potent healing abilities. She wanted to see whether this little fellow's Spirit could heal her injuries.
"Buzz, buzz..."
At Ye Liangchen's summons, the Goddess of Life's breathtaking figure slowly appeared behind him, radiating a dense aura of life.
"Mmnh...!"
After absorbing a trace of Divine Power from the Goddess of Life Spirit, Gu Yuena let out a comfortable moan, brimming with allure.
"How fascinating. The Goddess of Life's true form is an Ancient Tree of Life. I never expected this little fellow's spirit to actually take the form of the Goddess of Life in human shape."
Gu Yuena gazed at the Goddess of Life's breathtaking appearance and murmured to herself, recalling the events of the past.
"Little Chen, did the Goddess of Life pass any information on to you?" Gu Yuena felt that since the Goddess of Life had chosen this little fellow, she must have left something behind.
Ye Liangchen remembered that when he had first awakened his spirit, something seemed to have surged into it. Then those nine attack and support soul skills had appeared. Other than that, there had been nothing.
Of course, Ye Liangchen could not tell Gu Yuena the truth, so he could only use the Goddess of Life's laid-back lifestyle from tens of thousands of years later as inspiration to make up an excuse and fool her.
"Yes! Once, in a dream, I met a beautiful older sister who looked exactly like my spirit. She told me that some gods in the God Realm were very selfish, and it troubled her greatly."
"To her, the current God Realm is like a cage, making her very uncomfortable. After staying in the God Realm for too long, and being unable to have children with the Destruction God King, she feels very bored and wants to see what lies beyond the God Realm. She also said that she would open up her inheritance for me in the future and let me inherit her godhood. She hopes I can change the future of the God Realm someday."
Ye Liangchen spouted nonsense with a perfectly serious expression, first steadying Gu Yuena so that he could get resources from her in the future.
In any case, he possessed a Cheat System. He would definitely be able to cultivate to the level of the God of Creation in this world, and when that time came, he could change the world whenever he wished.
What Ye Liangchen did not know was that what he had said to the Silver Dragon King was precisely the Goddess of Life's true thoughts. Now that the Goddess of Life held judicial authority in her own hands, her purpose was to prevent the Asura God from causing trouble. She had finally found a promising candidate, so naturally, she had to keep a close eye on him.
"That truly is the Goddess of Life's personality. It seems she has already chosen you as her successor."
Gu Yuena did not know whether Ye Liangchen's words were true, but from the little fellow's description, the Goddess of Life was indeed that kind of person. Among the Five Great God Kings, the Goddess of Life was the only one Gu Yuena did not dislike. The others were all violent maniacs, especially the Asura God.
Watching this mother dragon get fooled so easily, Ye Liangchen thought that most of Douluo's goddesses were innocent little sweethearts. Even the Silver Dragon King, a Divine Beast, was no exception. No wonder she had been tricked into falling for Tang San's son in the future, causing Di Tian's passionate devotion to go to waste.
"Little Chen, let me first tell you a story about the God Realm! In a distant era, the Dragon God ruled the entire God Realm..."
Gu Yuena went on and on, explaining to Ye Liangchen how the Dragon God had once been the strongest god in the God Realm. Later, more and more people became gods. When there were more gods, there were also more villains. The Dragon God was provoked by those villains' schemes and launched the Dragon God War, even killing countless members of his own clan and affecting the entire God Realm. Later, when his mind cleared, he voluntarily allowed the Asura God to kill him.
But the Dragon God had been too powerful. That sword strike from the Asura God had not killed him. Instead, he had split into two, becoming the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. The Golden Dragon King inherited the dragon body's destructive power and negative emotions, while the Silver Dragon King inherited the Dragon God's goodness and wisdom.
The Beast Gods were too powerful, and The Gods feared the emergence of another powerhouse like the Dragon God. After quelling the chaos in the God Realm, The Gods began purging the beast clans of the God Realm.
The Golden Dragon King was suppressed by The Gods. After being severely injured by the Asura God, the Silver Dragon King escaped to the Douluo Continent with Di Tian and the others.
When the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena fled from the God Realm to the Douluo Continent, she also brought much Divine Power with her. Under the influence of this Divine Power, the Soul Beast race was born. After stabilizing the God Realm, in order to prevent the Silver Dragon King from making a comeback, the God Realm directly established a series of rules targeting Soul Beasts to prevent them from becoming gods. For example, human Soul Masters had to hunt Soul Beasts in order to advance, Killing Soul Beasts, Exploding Soul Bones, and the hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation were all rules created specifically to target Soul Beasts.
After listening to Gu Yuena's account, Ye Liangchen thought, Weren't all these things caused by the Dragon God himself? But he could not say it aloud, so he could only pretend to be curious and ask, "Then what do you plan to do, Sister? Overthrow the God Realm?"
"Overthrow the God Realm? Easier said than done. After tens of thousands of years, the God Realm has recovered. All Five Great God Kings possess God King-level strength, while I am seriously injured and only retain the strength of a Third Level God."
A sorrowful smile appeared on Gu Yuena's stunning face as she worried for the fate of the Soul Beast race.
"Little Chen, your parents were also killed by the Asura God through the hands of human Soul Masters. You want revenge in the future, right?" Gu Yuena asked.
"Of course. He killed my parents, so I'll definitely take revenge. As a god, he bullied the weak and killed mortals. He has no shame at all. What kind of god is he supposed to be?"
Ye Liangchen would definitely deal with that shameless, scheming Asura God once he had the strength, though that was a matter for the future.
He just did not know whether Tang San had already caught the Asura God's attention. If things were truly as many netizens had said, and Tang San had been pulled over from another world by the Asura God, then that would be somewhat troublesome. Still, he could steal Tang San's opportunities and prevent him from using cheats. Better yet, he could make Tang San turn evil. If that happened, the Asura God would definitely abandon him.
"Besides, the current God Realm's rules are far too harsh on both humans and Soul Beasts. Humans probably cannot cultivate into gods on their own, while Soul Beasts cannot become gods either and must even suffer Heavenly Tribulations. Everyone is in the same boat."
"These rules must be broken. Otherwise, everyone can only remain trapped on this continent forever, slaughtering one another."
Ye Liangchen stated his views, making Gu Yuena feel that humans were also victims. He even spoke of his great ideals, leaving her with a glimmer of hope.
"Good! Then I'll help you Become God. From now on, whatever you need, I can give it to you."
Upon hearing Ye Liangchen's lofty ideals, Gu Yuena was immediately overjoyed. Perhaps the fate of the Soul Beast race really could be changed. Thinking of the days to come, a smile capable of Bewitching All Living Things appeared on her breathtaking face.
One smile as she glanced back birthed a hundred charms, making all the beauties of the six palaces lose their color.
Those words suited Gu Yuena perfectly. Looking at this mother dragon's smiling face, Ye Liangchen was filled with emotion. She truly was the Douluo First Goddess!
"Buzz, buzz..."
"This is a God-given Spirit Ring. Crush it, then begin absorbing it. Its maximum age can reach one hundred thousand years. With your current physical condition, you should be able to absorb a spirit ring over ten thousand years old."
"A spirit ring is really just a form of energy. To gods, it is nothing special."
Using her own Divine Power, Gu Yuena created a God-given Spirit Ring for Ye Liangchen and explained it to him.
"Thank you, Sister Na."
Ye Liangchen accepted the bead from Gu Yuena's hand without hesitation, summoned the Goddess of Life Spirit, then crushed the bead and began absorbing the spirit ring.
"Buzz, buzz..."
After the bead shattered, a golden sphere of light enveloped Ye Liangchen. Immediately afterward, a powerful force descended upon his body.
"Use your greatest strength to sense the energy within the spirit ring. When you reach your limit, the energy will condense into a spirit ring." Gu Yuena patiently explained the method of absorbing a God-given Spirit Ring from the side.
"Buzz, buzz..."
As Ye Liangchen absorbed it, that mass of energy slowly condensed into a large ring. It was white at first, then gradually turned yellow, then purple. It remained purple for a long time before gradually becoming a large black ring that enveloped Ye Liangchen. Its age reached twelve thousand years.
Throughout the process, Ye Liangchen spent three hours before finally completing it.
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
A powerful aura erupted from Ye Liangchen's body, directly pushing his Soul Power to level 34. Ye Liangchen carefully sensed the Life Siphon soul skill. It could drain an enemy's life force, soul, and bloodline.
Holy shit! This skill is awesome!
"My Soul Power had risen to level 34. Very good."
"Little Chen, release that Sword Spirit of yours and let me see it."
Gu Yuena felt that Ye Liangchen's Sword Spirit was of an extremely high grade. A spirit that could coexist with a God King-level spirit was certainly no ordinary one.
"Alright, Sister Na."
"Whoosh..."
The Chun Jun Sword slowly floated out from Ye Liangchen's right hand, carrying an aura capable of cleaving heaven and earth apart. Surprise appeared in Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes.
"Twin God King-level spirits... Little Chen, your talent is unmatched beneath the heavens. No one can rival you."
Gu Yuena sighed. This little fellow truly was favored by heaven, as though he were Heaven's own son.
"Sister Na, these are some pills the Goddess of Life gave me last time. Do you want to try them? See whether they might help with your injuries?"
Ye Liangchen took out two Foundation Establishment Golden Pills from the Jade Pendant Soul Guidance Device and offered them to Gu Yuena, claiming that they had been given to him by the Goddess of Life.
He had no idea whether these pills would help Gu Yuena, so he could only try anything in a desperate situation. Still, these pills had come from the game, so perhaps they might help this woman recover from her injuries.
"Oh! I never expected the Goddess of Life to give you such treasures."
From the fragrance emitted by the two pills, Gu Yuena could tell they were extraordinary. She immediately picked them up and swallowed them.
"Mmm... Your pills are quite good."
The instant the pills entered her mouth, they transformed into pure energy that surged through her limbs and bones, nourishing every part of her body. Warmth spread all over her, making Gu Yuena feel incomparably comfortable. Even her pain lessened considerably, and she could not help letting out a soft moan.
"Little Chen, do you have any more of these pills? Give me another two." Gu Yuena felt that the pills were somewhat helpful to her injuries and made another request of Ye Liangchen.
"There are four left. If Sister Na needs them, I'll give them all to you."
Ye Liangchen figured that this dragoness had definitely experienced the pills' miraculous effects, so he could only hand over the last four in his Soul Guidance Device. As for the remaining Foundation Establishment Pills in his Game Backpack, no one could possibly know about those.
"Thank you. Your sister won't take them for nothing. Later, I'll give you some Soul Bones, and you can choose whatever you like."
Gu Yuena had not expected this human hatchling to be so generous. As the Silver Dragon King, she could not be stingy either.
"Buzz, buzz..."
"Come, your sister will take you to pick some Soul Bones."
After taking the remaining four pills, Gu Yuena once again felt that comforting sensation throughout her body. Delighted, she directly opened a doorway beside the main hall, grabbed Ye Liangchen by the hand, and pulled him through it.
The next moment, the two arrived in a room filled with gleaming Soul Bones. There were roughly a hundred of them, including ten-thousand-year ones and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones.
Damn! Now this was what a truly rich person looked like.
In his previous life, countless book fans had always said that Ning Rongrong and Bibi Dong were the rich women of Douluo. But in Ye Liangchen's view, Gu Yuena was the true First Rich Woman of Douluo.
As Ye Liangchen looked at that pile of glittering golden Soul Bones, he recalled a line from a movie: the doctor said my stomach was bad, so I couldn't eat food that was too hard.
"Little Chen, Di Tian and the others collected these Soul Bones. Now your sister is giving them to you." Gu Yuena smiled at the little fellow's dumbfounded expression. To her, Soul Bones were merely a pile of worthless stones.
"Thank you, Sister Na."
Seeing Gu Yuena's lavish generosity, Ye Liangchen truly wanted to shout in his heart: Sister! I don't want to work hard anymore.
Ye Liangchen did not stand on ceremony. He walked forward and began picking the good ones. He ignored anything below fifty thousand years, unless it was an External Soul Bone.
In the end, Ye Liangchen only took a little over forty pieces, twelve of which were Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones. However, there were no External Soul Bones.
He left the remaining ten-thousand-year Soul Bones untouched. After all, taking everything at once would make him seem too greedy. Since this was his first meeting with the Douluo First Goddess, he had to leave a good impression.
