Golden Eyes sponsored by the Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon; God-tier appearance sponsored by A Tear of the Love God.

Preface to this work:

You haven't guessed wrong; this text does not adopt the "transmigrator holds the script and sweeps the map" format (although the sweeping mode of a transmigrator with foresight looks satisfying at the beginning of a work, the more you read, the more numb you feel, eventually causing readers to lose the reading experience entirely).

It is also because the author—me—does not want to break the original aesthetic beauty of Legend of the Dragon King, which has the highest rating among the four Douluo Continent installments.

Therefore, after careful selection, the author finally found the most suitable character in the long river of dragon history:

An "Emperor."

It is the source of the dragon clan's sub-dragons, the ancestor of the Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon, and the twin dragon of the Dragon God.

This is why the previous "Prologue" chapter imitated the "Silver Dragon King Emerges" chapter from the original work, staging a higher-spec "Purple Dragon Emperor Enters the World" chapter.

You need not doubt that this existence, who stands above the Nine True Dragon Kings and shoulder-to-shoulder with the gods, is absolutely half a level higher than the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings (at least in terms of bloodline), and thus will not be suppressed by their lineage.

Of course, as the source of the sub-dragon lineage, its suppression of the True Dragon lineage is not very significant.

Also, because the protagonist of this book is a character from the original work, this work will adopt techniques such as ensemble storytelling and the use of flashbacks and foreshadowing.

Finally, I hope that you and I can both see the Dragon Kings—in this beautiful legend, falling toward their best destination like wishing stars, falling into your hearts and mine.

Unifying the chaotic settings of the four Douluo Continent installments:

0. The setting of the Nine True Dragon Kings adopts the final setting of the four-part series: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Light, Darkness, Time, Space, and Stability.

The Golden Dragon King inherited the Dragon God's ultimate strength, the strongest physical body, the Godhead of Destruction, and the attribute of Time.

The Silver Dragon King inherited the eight attributes of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Light, Darkness, Space, and Spirit.

Some readers might be curious: where in the original work is it mentioned that the Silver Dragon King inherited the Spirit attribute?

Wisdom is, after all, a manifestation of the Spirit attribute.

In fact, the Golden Dragon King's strongest body can also be considered an attribute (Life).

1. The origin of the Dragon God and the twin dragons will adopt the Douluo IV setting—the latest and final setting—that they were born in the universe, hatched and grown from the place where chaos had not yet separated; rather than the Douluo III setting, where they were born from the Douluo plane, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.

2. The Golden Dragon is the juvenile form of the Dragon God; the Dragon God is simply a fully grown Golden Dragon.

Evidence 1: The Dragon God's body is the Golden Dragon King, which implies the original color of the Dragon God's true form is golden. In other words, when the Dragon God was first born, it was not a Nine-Colored Dragon, but the world's first: Golden Dragon.

Evidence 2: In the plot of The Unrivaled Tang Sect, when Wang Qiu'er introduced the Golden Dragon Spear, she stated that if a living Golden Dragon obtained the forty-ninth rib—the Golden Dragon Spear—it would have the chance to advance to the level of: Dragon God.

Evidence 3: After Wang Qiu'er was fused into Tang Wutong, without obtaining the Silver Dragon King's bloodline, her own Golden Dragon bloodline grew into the Dragon God bloodline in one step. This naturally proves that the path of Golden Dragon + Golden Dragon Spear can lead directly to the Dragon God level.

Evidence 4: The Golden Dragon Spear, without fusing with the Silver Dragon Spear and relying solely on itself, can become the Dragon God Spear through the Dragon Ascension Pillar. This more directly proves that a Golden Dragon can become a Dragon God; the Dragon God is actually just a grown-up Golden Dragon.

Evidence 5: The Dragon God's own son, the Dragon Clan Divine Crown Prince, although possessing half of his mother's (the Dragon Clan Divine Empress) mottled, mixed blood, also has a Golden Dragon true form (mentioned by Old Luo in Douluo III) and possesses strength surpassing the Nine True Dragon Kings.

As for why the Dragon God is always nine-colored?

That is because, through its "childhood" efforts, it learned to tune the nine attributes it comprehended—Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Light, Darkness, Time, Space, and Spirit—into colors, painting them onto its own skin. That is why it visually presents the image of a "Nine-Colored Dragon."

The above is the final setting that perfectly unifies and corroborates the conflicting settings of Douluo II, Douluo III, and Douluo IV: the Dragon God's true form is the Golden Dragon King, and the Dragon God was a Golden Dragon in its youth.

The Supreme Dragon God is the existence that obtained both the Godheads of Creation and Destruction, and brought the nine great laws to create the God Realm.

In summary—

Regarding the Three-Eyed Golden Lion of Douluo II, Wang Qiu'er: if she had not wasted her time and had not self-sacrificed, she could have absolutely held the Golden Dragon Spear, cultivated step-by-step to become the Dragon God, and saved millions of soul beasts from fire and water. One can only say she died due to being "love-brained."

3. The Silver Dragon King herself is formed by the nine laws cultivated by the Dragon God and is not related to the dragon clan bloodline.

Although there might have been a few remnants of the main body (the Golden Dragon King) when they separated (the Golden Dragon bloodline), those remnants were injected into the body of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which is why Wang Qiu'er possessed the Golden Dragon martial soul.

Combining points 2 and 3 above, this book will introduce a concept:

"Purple-Gold Twins"

The phrase "Ancestor of the Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon and the Dragon God" is too long; from now on, I will use "Purple-Gold Twins" to summarize it.

(Of course, readers can also categorize this "Dragon Clan Twins" setting as a tribute to Dragon Raja. After all, the author of Dragon Raja, Jiang Nan, may have participated in Douluo Continent III, so adding the "Twins on the Throne" setting from Dragon Raja to this work will only highlight the beauty of fate.)

Since the Dragon God was a Golden Dragon mastering ultimate power from birth.

Then what should that purple dragon, the twin of the Dragon God, the ancestral sub-dragon born with the power of destruction, look like?

Golden Dragon, and, Purple (?) Dragon.

Thus, the author makes a bold and well-founded naming choice: Amethyst Dragon.

The setting of "Crystal" (Jing) can be traced in the original work.

Because the Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon was born in the brilliant "Sun" (Ri), the stronger Dragon Emperor should be: Three Suns "Crystal" (Jing).

Just like the Silver Dragon King: Gu Yuena, this naming method is also used.

The basis is: since the Silver Dragon was created by the Dragon God absorbing moonlight, the Silver Dragon King's name contains the character "Yue" (Moon).

Therefore, the naming of this work's protagonist will also inherit this naming convention from the original work, standing in direct opposition to the three characters "Gu Yuena."

Now, returning to the setting—the Purple-Gold Twins.

The world's first Golden Dragon and the world's first Amethyst Dragon.

Unfolding an unknown destiny:

Amethyst Dragon Body vs. Golden Dragon Body

Amethyst Dragon Spear vs. Golden Dragon Spear

Lovesick Heartbreak Red vs. Blue Silver Grass (Red vs. Blue)

This will absolutely align with the "destiny" theme of Legend of the Dragon King, providing the vast readership with the most perfect reading experience.

Finally, why don't you all take a guess: if the world's first Amethyst Dragon and the world's first Golden Dragon were to devour and merge with one another, what kind of supreme existence would be born?

Could an ultimate existence like the "Purple Gold Dragon" contend against the ultimate existence of the Douluo Universe, the "Universe Will"?

The author guarantees:

The writing quality of this text is absolutely up to par. As can be seen from the previous chapter, the "Wedge," the author uses the reading-stuttering particles "de" and "le" very sparingly. I can also guarantee to the vast readership that the quality of this book will only continue to improve.

Additionally, because there are significant discrepancies in the settings of each of the four Douluo installments, if readers encounter settings that do not match their impressions, feel free to post a comment directly.

Since there are significant differences between the physical, web novel, and manga versions of Legend of the Dragon King, please do not take offense if the author uses content from an outdated version of the original work, and please feel free to offer corrections.

Last but not least, I ask that you, the readers, try to catch up on the latest chapters every Tuesday (the platform's system evaluation day). It would be best if you could click the "Urge for Updates" button at the end of the chapter, as this concerns whether the author can receive a monthly income.

"Finally, may my meticulousness bring you a better reading experience."
