Silver Dragon King: Come with Me!

"Haah..."

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, the branches of ancient thousand-year-old trees rustled in the evening breeze.

A transparent, spherical unknown creature emitting a faint white glow lay lazily atop a protruding boulder covered in moss, admiring the last rays of the setting sun.

The sunset shone through gaps in the towering canopy and fell upon the unknown creature, lending it a touch of languid vitality.

"I wonder which bastard will benefit from my research!"

The white ghost lying on the boulder complained as he wriggled his chubby body, trying to find a more comfortable position.

At the thought that someone else might very well profit from his research, Su Mo felt as though his heart were bleeding.

He had no idea how much effort he had poured in or how many sleepless nights he had endured to produce those research results.

Su Mo had originally just been an ordinary person on Blue Star.

One day, after staying up all night playing Hundred Battle Itachi through three games, he woke up to find that he had somehow transmigrated into the Naruto World—and had even gotten the classic Uchiha orphan start.

But before he could fantasize about beating Uchiha Madara with his fists, kicking Black Zetsu aside, marrying Tsunade, and reaching the pinnacle of life, he tragically discovered that less than a year remained before the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre.

Faced with the butcher's blade Uchiha Itachi, that weasel, was about to bring down, Su Mo had no choice but to fake his death, escape Konoha, conceal his identity, and begin wandering the Ninja World.

Thanks to his advantage of knowing every secret in the Ninja World, Su Mo had done rather well for himself there.

He had worked as Orochimaru's assistant, run errands for Hiruko, served as Shennong's strategist, traded plenty of intelligence and supplies with Sasori, and furthered his studies in the Land of Artisans for several years.

Thanks to those experiences, Su Mo had, unsurprisingly, become one of the Ninja World's foremost scientific researchers.

As for how he had ended up here again?

Better not to mention it. What rotten luck!

He had merely wanted to step outside for some air after spending too long in the lab, yet the moment he left, a Tailed Beast Bomb came flying straight at him.

Being sent off by a randomly fired Tailed Beast Bomb from the Ten-Tails while far from the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War—his luck truly was unparalleled.

"I wonder when I'll finally escape this cage!"

Looking at the enormous metal wall in the distance, towering into the clouds like an insurmountable barrier before him, Su Mo felt somewhat melancholy.

Ever since awakening the memories of his previous two lives, he had already spent more than five hundred years here.

Honestly, when he learned that this was the Douluo Continent, Su Mo had been startled.

His impression of the Douluo Continent had remained stuck in the era of "Blue Silver Entanglement."

Yet now, with the help of Soul Guidance Technology, the Douluo Continent had somehow even developed mecha.

That distant wall was also a cage built by humans using Soul Guidance Technology to keep the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Forest.

Thanks to the rapid advancement of Soul Guidance Technology, the Star Dou Forest, which had once struck fear into the hearts of all Soul Masters, had become humanity's backyard, a place they could enter and leave whenever they pleased.

Of course, if Su Mo wished to, he had countless ways to escape this cage.

The reason Su Mo had delayed leaving was that some old man surnamed Tang monitored this place far too closely.

According to someone, every Soul Beast over a hundred thousand years old in the Star Dou Forest had already been recorded in Tang Hao's little notebook.

A Soul Beast like Su Mo, who had cultivated to the hundred-thousand-year level in only five thousand years, was an even more heavily watched target for Tang Hao.

If Su Mo dared leave the Star Dou Forest, Tang Hao would dare strike from the shadows.

With such a vast disparity in their strength, Su Mo could only remain obediently within the Star Dou Forest and patiently wait for an opportunity to break the deadlock.

Suddenly, Su Mo keenly sensed that the surrounding air had turned cold. Then, as if remembering something, he did not linger and headed straight for the deepest core of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"To destroy them, you must first understand them..."

By the time Su Mo reached the core region of the Star Dou Forest, a silver dragon over a hundred zhang long was raising her head and lecturing Di Tian and the others, who were prostrated on the ground.

Seeing Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts kneeling reverently before the silver dragon, Su Mo, hidden behind a tree, immediately recognized her identity.

The only one capable of making Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts bow in submission was the Master of Soul Beasts they spoke of—the Silver Dragon King, a silver dragon who had been injured in battle against the God Realm and fled to the Douluo Continent to recuperate.

However, Su Mo was not particularly impressed by the Silver Dragon King, this so-called Master of Soul Beasts.

Or rather, he was not particularly impressed by the entire Soul Beast race.

They were simply too stupid—so stupid that they were downright irritating.

Even after being driven to the brink by humanity, the Star Dou Forest still followed the primitive jungle law of the strong devouring the weak.

They called upon all Soul Beasts to unite against humanity while treating weaker Soul Beasts as food for their own kind. Was that something any sane being would do?

Still, the Silver Dragon King's glittering silver appearance was quite beautiful.

"Who is there?"

Before Su Mo could examine her any further, the Silver Dragon King's purple eyes shifted, and she looked toward his hiding place with hostility.

Upon hearing the Silver Dragon King's authoritative voice, Di Tian, who had been prostrated on the ground, turned in the direction of her gaze with fury on his face.

To Di Tian, who regarded the Silver Dragon King as incomparably important, allowing an unknown person to intrude into the core of the Star Dou Great Forest was a failing that could no longer be described merely as "dereliction of duty."

The other Ferocious Beasts also glared furiously at Su Mo's hiding place.

At a single command from the Silver Dragon King, they would swarm forward and tear Su Mo to pieces.

Seeing the Ferocious Beasts ready to attack at any moment, Su Mo did not dare be careless. He immediately poked his head out from behind the tree and revealed his identity to them.

"Mo, why are you here?!"

After recognizing him, a woman in green robes with an ethereal bearing let out an involuntary cry.

But Bi Ji quickly came to her senses, immediately dropped to one knee, and pleaded sincerely for Su Mo. "The Master, Mo didn't do it on purpose..."

The Silver Dragon King ignored Bi Ji's plea. After her vertical pupils, glowing with an eerie light, carefully studied Su Mo for a moment, her massive dragon claw lightly waved through the air.

Su Mo instantly felt his body firmly restrained by an invisible force, unable to move. Then he was directly pulled before the Silver Dragon King.

"Di Tian, is this the Source Beast you mentioned?"

After carefully examining Su Mo, the Silver Dragon King asked Di Tian in a low voice.

"Yes, The Master!"

Di Tian hurriedly answered.

After receiving Di Tian's confirmation, the Silver Dragon King abruptly closed her eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

After a long while, the Silver Dragon King opened her eyes and commanded everyone in an unquestionable tone, "For this trip to the human world, he will accompany me!"

Di Tian was delighted upon hearing this, while Bi Ji's expression turned incomparably ugly.

"Me?"

Hearing that the Silver Dragon King wanted him to accompany her to the human world, Su Mo was momentarily baffled.

Seeing Su Mo standing there with a confused expression, Di Tian enthusiastically pulled him aside and carefully explained the Silver Dragon King's plan.

"Well, do you have any questions now?"

After explaining the Silver Dragon King's plan to Su Mo, Di Tian excitedly patted him on the shoulder.

Looking at Di Tian, whose grin was practically splitting his face, Su Mo already had a rough guess as to why the Silver Dragon King had specifically chosen him to accompany her to the human world. Another one after my body.
