[Front-row note: Under the system and the author's hand, the protagonist is a true dragon kin in the eyes of the dragon race, but in his bones and blood, he is essentially a pure Seer Elf Rus Wang. There is no such thing as being suppressed by the bloodlines of the Golden Dragon King or Silver Dragon King, nor will his descendants be. Once Rus Wang evolves into the Lord of Blades Rus Wang and becomes a million-year soul beast, neither he nor his descendants will be suppressed by bloodlines, which can be justified. After all, in the eyes of the dragon race, with the Dragon God absent, Rus Wang breaking the Dragon God's rules to transcend from a million-year soul beast to god-level status makes his strength and bloodline terrifying in their own right.]
Rus Wang immediately informed the Light Dragon King of the detailed situation regarding his origin from another continent, the Zheer Continent, as well as the process of how he came to intersect with the Dragon Valley Forest over the past two hundred years.
"Are elves truly so miraculous?"
The Light Dragon King, having received information from the outside world within the Dragon Valley world for tens of thousands of years, found it incredible that elves were even more heaven-defying than humans, who were originally just a group of primates.
"Yes, they do not require soul rings. Every elf can possess soul power by the age of 12, though the levels vary. However, an elf's body does not fully mature until age 45. If an elf chooses to forcibly break through to level 30 during this period, their body will suffer irreparable damage."
Rus Wang recounted the data that Elena had collected during her time as the principal of the elf elementary school over the past two hundred years to the Light Dragon King.
"You are not at fault for protecting elves and killing soul beasts; on the contrary, you are entirely correct. With us dragons and the beast race facing the dangers of the heavenly tribulation, and humans eyeing soul beast soul rings with covetous eyes, a potential ally is essential. Protecting a race like the elves, who do not need soul rings to increase their level, from their weakest state is the best course of action. The power of faith on your body shows that you have done well."
The Light Dragon King's forelimb pointed at Rus Wang's body, indicating what he was able to perceive.
"But Rus, you must remember that the path of the power of faith is a dead end. Otherwise, certain insects that gained soul power and became soul beasts would have long since become the strongest gods."
"Thank you for the reminder, senior."
The Light Dragon King then looked at the map of the Zheer Continent that Rus Wang had spread on the ground, and subsequently used a branch to draw the general shape of the Dragon Valley Continent on the soil dampened by water.
"Now, let us talk about the Star Luo People on the Dragon Valley Continent. The God Realm must have gods orchestrating all of this, and their target is inevitably the Dragon Valley world here, the remaining treasures of the dragon race."
The Light Dragon King pointed his branch toward the Zheer Continent.
"One day in the God Realm is one year on the ground. Although it is far away, the guy who dares to cause such a stir likely does not care about the ridiculous rules of the God Realm regarding non-interference in the Douluo Plane. Any variable, once it shifts from a minor trend to a major trend, will inevitably be detected and erased by them. If they could do it once through the heavenly tribulation, they will certainly dare to do it a second time."
"Rus, you saving me is a minor trend that can be changed, but the occupation of the Dragon Valley Continent by the Star Luo People is an irreversible major trend. If they expect the Sun Moon Empire to unify the entire Douluo Continent, then they must also hope that the Star Luo People will occupy the entire Dragon Valley Continent within a few hundred years."
"Then what is your meaning, senior?"
Rus Wang asked, looking at the Light Dragon King.
"The strategy of delay. Whether the Star Luo People take three hundred years or four hundred years to occupy the entire Dragon Valley Continent, the major trend remains irreversible. But the time difference is enough for us to perform more operations to change minor trends. Beyond targeted elimination of high-level human combatants, we could, for instance, relocate all dragons and certain high-value soul beasts to the Zheer Continent, a land untainted by humans. When the time is right, we shall pursue the revival of the dragon race."
Speaking to this point, the Light Dragon King could not help but bare his teeth and sigh sorrowfully.
"To be honest, between the Dragon Valley Continent and the Zheer Continent, you are the only young dragon over five hundred thousand years old still alive. It truly makes me afraid to play my hand; even if I take the risk, I cannot play many cards. A delaying tactic is the best method I can think of to maximize the use of you, a junior, to deter human Title Douluo."
He then weighed the Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon that Rus Wang had placed on the ground for him to see and said, "To be honest, just from the first glance, I can see the terrifying potential of this thing. If humans continue to develop its power further, it could pose a great threat even to a six-hundred-thousand-year existence like you."
"Although it hasn't appeared yet, it doesn't mean humans won't have it in the future. After you return, Rus, you need to have the elves and the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts accelerate their mastery of the production and usage techniques of these soul guidance devices, and innovate upon them."
Rus Wang nodded.
"Rus, in the four hundred years on the Douluo Continent side, has not a single dragon kin come over?"
The Light Dragon King sighed, suddenly thinking of something while watching Rus Wang pack his things, and asked.
After all, for tens of thousands of years, the young dragons who communicated with the Light Dragon King basically all came from the Dragon Valley Forest on the Dragon Valley Continent; none came from outside it. Rus Wang, as the first dragon kin from another continent, made him think of the Star Dou Forest on the Douluo Continent side.
If the Light Dragon King's memory was correct, the remains of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King had fallen there. Along with the silver figure that appeared after the Dragon God was cut in two by the Asura God, there were also many living dragons, such as the descendants of his wife, the Dark Dragon King.
Logically speaking, the number of dragons there should be greater than on his side of the Dragon Valley Continent; it shouldn't be the case that they haven't sent any young dragons to make contact. They couldn't have been sleeping for tens of thousands of years and doing nothing, right?
"Hmm... within the last four hundred years, judging by the wounds left on the Turquoise Dragon and the others from being constantly suppressed by humans, it seems no dragon has come over from the Douluo Continent."
"Is that so? But that shouldn't be, right? They couldn't have just let the young dragons of the Dragon Valley Forest be exterminated by humans, could they?"
The Light Dragon King stopped overthinking and began to impart to Rus Wang some secret techniques used by the dragon race to dominate the universe that he could use now.
"Although the traitor is indeed the most proficient in the space attribute, it does not mean the entire dragon race relied solely on its abilities in the past to quickly dominate the Douluo Plane universe. In many dragon treasure vaults, there are quite a few books on magic arrays related to spatial teleportation."
The Light Dragon King then carved a complex rune array onto a flat, large rock and handed it to Rus Wang.
"Follow the pattern of this spatial teleportation rune array and carve it in a hidden place. As long as you inject soul power, it will allow you, Rus, to transport 500 soul beasts from one place to another eight thousand kilometers away. To activate this set of rune arrays, the dragon or soul beast must have at least four hundred thousand years of cultivation to use it safely. After you go out, have your kin and the soul beasts prepare for the retaliation of the Star Luo People. You must return to the Zheer Continent immediately and connect the two continents by establishing a spatial teleportation array. This way, you will reduce unnecessary travel time waste in the future."
"Thank you."
Rus Wang finished packing his things, bid farewell, and departed through a spatial rift, while the Light Dragon King's dragon soul shifted from its dragon form to an energy-saving cloud state. Although the energy ores Rus Wang brought still amounted to thousands of tons, saving where possible was the survival strategy that allowed the Light Dragon King's soul to survive to this day.
"Under the impact of the soul beast refugee tide, even a junior like Rus could think to come here to see what caused it. The dragons on the Douluo Continent side couldn't have just forgotten about me, could they?"
