Humans: Sigh, can we make peace?

[Note: Because the nine Great Dragon Kings, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and the deaths of the Water (Ice) Dragon King and Fire Dragon King in Douluo 1, 2, 3, and 4 are contradictory, much of this is self-conceived. Among human Limit Douluos, the 300-year lifespan limit is primarily due to Chapter 207 of Douluo 2, where Huo Yuhao explicitly states that Long Xiaoyao is two hundred years older than him.]

"So, during your early growth, besides your mother, there was another protector with a hundred-thousand-year cultivation, a Sun-Passing Ginkgo?"

"Yes, thanks to our ancestors' protective feelings toward plant-type soul beasts, young dragons like me basically grew up by its side."

After a period of rest, Blade Ruse King and Ximing began their journey. However, given the various strongholds occupied by indigenous human soul masters and Star Luo humans under the guise of scientific research, they temporarily chose to shapeshift to avoid exposing their tracks. They bypassed the vision of the strong in the indigenous human kingdoms in the south of the continent and headed toward the Dragon Valley Forest in the center of the continent.

As a light-attribute dragon, the Heavenly Sun Dragon is the most direct descendant race of the Light Dragon King living on Douluo Planet. After the Dragon God fell and the dragon race was cast into Douluo Planet together, the Light Dragon King himself also died, transforming into the dragon soul of the Dragon Valley pocket world.

However, unlike some dragon kings who fell and became dragon souls, as the one in charge of punishment who used the Dragon-Slaying Blade to execute sinful dragons, he had sensed the abnormal actions of the Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King in advance, but failed to know or stop them from causing the death of the dragon crown prince at the God Star Ceremony.

During the Dragon God's period of madness, it was one of the few rational dragon kings within the dragon race. In the process of being swept up by the fury of the entire clan into a great war with the God Realm, it left behind contingencies on some planets for the descendants of itself and its wife, the Dark Dragon King, just in case. It hoped that if they were defeated, they could use these contingencies to make a comeback.

It was just a pity that even he himself did not expect the Dragon God's final remedial measures to be so crazy. Unless the dragon race revived and the Dragon God reappeared, the beast race was forbidden from becoming gods within the God Realm, directly invalidating many of the contingencies he had arranged for his descendants.

The descendants of the Heavenly Sun Dragons outside the Dragon Valley world even sent worse news: they were also suffering from the heavenly tribulation along with the beast race, which directly left the Light Dragon King in his dragon soul state at a loss.

For the beast race to become gods, two prerequisites were needed: the revival of the dragon race and the reappearance of the Dragon God. But for the dragon race to revive, they needed to withstand the heavenly tribulation. Yet under the heavenly tribulation, the dragon race struggled to even survive, let alone revive. As for the reappearance of the Dragon God, well... the situation Blade Ruse King knew was that the Silver Dragon King was still sleeping, and the Golden Dragon King, whose brain seemed better than the Silver Dragon King's, was imprisoned by the God Realm with no hope.

Therefore, for tens of thousands of years, the Heavenly Sun Dragons of various cultivation levels reaching the hundred-thousand-year tier received instructions from the Light Dragon King's dragon soul in the Dragon Valley world to get along well with the hundred-thousand-year plants. This was to prevent the Heavenly Sun Dragons, who would have no pillars of support after a heavenly tribulation wiped them out, from being harmed by the hundred-thousand-year fierce beasts of the beast race. (The Dragon Valley pocket world was still drifting in the universe at this time and had not fully descended onto Douluo Planet, but the stable space rift in the core area of the Dragon Valley Forest allowed the Heavenly Sun Dragons to enter the Dragon Valley world and communicate with the Light Dragon King's dragon soul.)

"But for some reason, the patriarch died inexplicably under the heavenly tribulation more than four hundred years ago, which almost disrupted the life of our Heavenly Sun Dragons in the core area of the Dragon Valley Forest."

Although the Light Dragon King's dragon soul wanted to try all kinds of remedial measures to help the Heavenly Sun Dragons, his own descendants, under tens of thousands of years of heavenly tribulations and human hunting, the Heavenly Sun Dragon population—which once had existence with over eight hundred thousand years of cultivation and a population of powerful individuals that expanded in a tiered manner—slowly became what the Light Dragon King's dragon soul had predicted: the highest existence had only over five hundred thousand years of cultivation, there was a vacancy of powerful individuals in the middle, individuals with over a hundred thousand years of cultivation were few and far between, and the population under one hundred thousand years was on the verge of extinction.

And with the inexplicable death of this patriarch, how could the Heavenly Sun Dragon individuals with over a hundred thousand years of cultivation and the Heavenly Sun Dragon population fare any better?

At that time, the five-thousand-year-old Ximing also began to flee south during this period to avoid the butcher's knife of humans.

"If you could get along well, logically speaking, you should also have a very good relationship with the strong in the Dragon Valley Forest. Do they not care?"

"Ah, they also..."

Ximing wanted to say something more, but Blade Ruse King's stopping action made Ximing's words come to an abrupt end.

Below the mountain where the two shapeshifted dragons stood was a scene of numerous humans cutting down trees and driving away soul beasts. Although they were separated by more than ten kilometers, they were not without the naked-eye ability of a telescope in their shapeshifted forms. The scale of the destruction and the number of hunted soul beasts, a vast expanse, were still enough to be shocking.

"What do humans take soul beasts for? Do they think they are harvesting wheat to eat?"

Even Ximing, known for his good temper, could not help but feel angry at this moment.

"Look at the power armor on those humans; it is highly likely they are Star Luo people rather than indigenous humans."

Blade Ruse King stared straight at the place with his naked eyes. Looking at the equipment on those humans, he could basically completely rule out that they were indigenous humans.

"This is not the outer circle of the Dragon Valley Forest. How do those apes and dragon kin manage it?"

Ximing did not understand. Even if the Giant Mountain Golden Ape, a soul beast of over four hundred thousand years, was shouldering the burden, he had only been taking refuge in the Folded Ear Continent for two hundred years. Had the human soul-hunting teams started wandering around the Dragon Valley Forest so unscrupulously?

"Among the humans opposite, there is a level 97 Super Douluo and a level 96 Super Douluo. If the Giant Mountain Golden Ape of over four hundred thousand years were to go to battle, it would only be sending itself to its death. They have already tried their best, Ximing."

Blade Ruse King rubbed his eyes and said. At the same time, his humanoid state was released, and the massive Blade Ruse King appeared on the mountaintop in his full form. It was not that Blade Ruse King had not thought about using level 9 fixed-load soul guidance cannons and various high-power rockets, but with soul beasts and humans mixed together, it was easy to cause accidental injury and was really not easy to use.

"I will go to suppress the Star Luo people, and you go find a way to contact those hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the Dragon Valley world. Even in the worst case, I will be able to drive the humans out."

"Good."

Accompanied by tacit cooperation, Blade Ruse King and Ximing acted separately.

Because the Sun Moon Empire was too powerful, the Star Luo Empire had no choice but to go to sea and step onto this continent they had found. Now, as the main force of the empire had defeated most of the local indigenous kingdoms, they began to continuously transfer the domestic population to this new continent.

However, because the land of the Star Luo Empire on the Douluo Continent still belonged to the core territory, on this land that the Star Luo people called the Star Luo Continent themselves, the main force of the Star Luo Empire army was commanded by a level 97 Super Douluo, rather than being led by the only level 98 powerhouse in the kingdom.

Therefore, when Blade Ruse King chose not to hide his cultivation anymore and killed his way here, except for the Giant Mountain Golden Ape and the others in the Dragon Valley Forest feeling excited and the arrival of hope, the Star Luo people could be said to have been caught off guard.

"Star Luo profanity! Not coming out early, not coming out late, but a fierce beast had to come at this time."

As the leader of this soul-hunting team, the Star Luo Empire prince Dai Zuoheng, who possessed level 97 soul master cultivation and was nearly 200 years old, felt his teeth grinding in the face of this situation.

Perhaps it was because he had dealt with that group of weakling fierce beasts in the Dragon Valley Forest that topped out at over four hundred thousand years for too long, leading to a slackening of vigilance. For a six-hundred-thousand-year soul beast that suddenly killed its way out, the Star Luo Empire's army in the mixed zone of the Dragon Valley Forest simply did not set up a defense line composed of multiple soul guidance devices according to normal military regulations.

So when Blade Ruse King launched [Skill: Overturning Seas], under the impact of multi-layered sea waves with a pressure of 30-50 tons per square meter, all Star Luo soldiers and officers below the Soul Saint level were swept up in the water flow along with the captured soul beasts.

Roar------

After Blade Ruse King finished watching the destructive effect of his skill in the air and confirmed that most of the soul beasts were only unconscious under the impact of the water flow, he looked at those Star Luo people who had dodged his attack in the air.

Now, Blade Ruse King himself could use soul guidance devices and missiles unscrupulously.

And the Star Luo people were not fools. Seeing the six-hundred-thousand-year-level dragon-type soul beast in the air that had launched an attack on them and was clearly of the water attribute, they unceremoniously threw out various soul guidance devices to launch a wave of long-range attacks.

But when the smoke and dust of the explosion were dispersed by soul power, Dai Zuoheng and the other human powerhouses who were attacking with martial soul possession were horrified to find that this dragon... was actually using soul guidance devices!

Under the control of Blade Ruse King's soul power, numerous soul guidance devices and gunpowder missile launchers were arranged on both sides of Blade Ruse King like the Gate of Babylon, forming a crossfire posture, aimed at Dai Zuoheng and his group of humans.

Blade Ruse King was not a fool. He immediately pressed the fire button and used the language of the indigenous humans to speak to Dai Zuoheng and the others: "Humans, you should also taste the feeling you had when you used these things to hunt us!"

In the core area of the Dragon Valley Forest, they almost immediately sensed the movement of Blade Ruse King's fierce battle with the human powerhouses, as well as the soul power fluctuations of Ximing rushing over.

"These two familiar and unfamiliar fluctuations, one is a Heavenly Sun Dragon, then what is the other?"

The woman who had shapeshifted from a Sun-Passing Ginkgo was very surprised. Ever since the Heavenly Sun Dragon patriarch died in the heavenly tribulation, and the few remaining hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Sun Dragons had all died under the butcher's knife of humans in the past four hundred years, the Heavenly Sun Dragon population had even gone missing, even to her.

"Why care so much? Yin Ji. Damn it, having been stifled for so long, finally another powerful soul beast has killed its way over. If we don't take this opportunity to hurt this group of humans, it will be even more troublesome later."

Seeing that a soul beast powerhouse had arrived, the Turquoise Dragon could be said to be overjoyed. Although it was not clear whether they counted as teammates, that dragon roar could be confirmed to be from a dragon kin. That made things easy to talk about. After the dragon race broke through the hundred-thousand-year cultivation limit, they could still communicate rationally. What's more, this time the archenemy humans were here; there was nothing better than the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts sitting down and talking slowly after beating up the humans together.

"We need to immediately cooperate with the attack of that giant dragon. Yin Ji, you are responsible for contacting that Heavenly Sun Dragon. All hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, follow me to battle, and release the fury of the past!"

The Giant Mountain Golden Ape knew that the appearance of a six-hundred-thousand-year-level unknown dragon would inevitably change the pattern between soul beasts and humans on the Dragon Valley Continent. The balance of the soul beasts' disadvantage would return to parity with humans again, and they had to seize this opportunity. As for who was the king of soul beasts, anyway, if that dragon wanted it, the Giant Mountain Golden Ape would yield. It would rather die than be the king again.
