"Because you need it more. Besides, with my strength now, I don't need its enhancement."
And Father had said it was dirty.
Gu Yuena's lips trembled slightly. A thousand words crowded her throat, yet she couldn't utter a single one.
She reached out and gently took the warm golden Divine Core.
The moment it touched her hand, the boundless Dragon Clan origin of the Destruction Force surged toward her.
This was the other half she had been missing for billions of years—the final piece of the puzzle that would let her reclaim her place as the Dragon Clan's supreme ruler and ascend to the pinnacle of all realms.
"Go ahead." Xu Yanli stepped back, his voice calm and sure. "I'll protect you while you do it."
Gu Yuena gripped the Divine Core tightly and looked at him deeply.
Then she closed her eyes and gently pressed the core against her chest.
Blinding golden light burst from her chest, enveloping her completely.
Silver-white dragon scales intertwined with brilliant golden ones, while her long silver hair shimmered in the golden radiance.
Her aura surged higher and higher, breaking through one level after another!
First-Level God... Her aura continued to soar, until it crashed through the God King barrier!
A towering pillar of silver-and-gold light pierced the void, illuminating the endless darkness of chaos.
After a long while, Gu Yuena slowly opened her eyes.
Her left eye was moon-white, her right eye blazed like gold.
The full pressure of the Dragon God swept in every direction, enveloping the entire void. Myriad dragons bowed their heads, and the gods trembled!
She lowered her gaze to the two-colored divine radiance flowing across her palm and fell silent for a long time.
Then she looked up again at the white-robed figure and spoke softly.
"Thank you."
