The protagonist's appearance: (A little treat for the fans first.)

A preliminary overview of this work:
You all guessed right. This story did not use the format of a transmigrator holding the script and sweeping through the entire world. (Though a transmigrator's all-knowing, all-conquering mode felt thrilling at the beginning, the more one read, the more numb one became, until readers ultimately lost the desire to continue.)
That was also because I, the author, did not want to ruin the original beauty of Legend of the Dragon King, the highest-rated of Douluo's four-part series.
Thus, after much careful selection, I finally found the most suitable character in the long river of Dragon Clan history:
An "Emperor."
It was the ancestor of the Dragon Clan's Sub-Dragons, the ancestor of Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon, and the Dragon God's twin.
That was why the previous "Prologue" chapter imitated the original's opening chapter, "The Birth of the Silver Dragon King," with an even grander chapter: "The Purple Dragon Emperor Enters the World."
There was no need for anyone to doubt that this existence, above the Nine True Dragon Kings and standing shoulder to shoulder with gods, was absolutely half a tier above the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings, at least in terms of bloodline. Therefore, he would not be suppressed by bloodline.
Of course, as the origin of the Sub-Dragon lineage, his suppression over the True Dragon lineage was not particularly strong.
And because this story's protagonist was a character from the original work, this work would use an ensemble narrative along with techniques such as interludes and flashbacks.
Finally, may you and I both see the Dragon Kings—like wish-granting stars in this beautiful legend—fall toward their finest resting place and into our hearts.
Unifying the chaotic settings in Douluo's original four-part series:
0. For the Nine True Dragon Kings' setting, I adopted the final setting of the four-part series: earth, water, wind, fire, light, darkness, time, space, and stability.
The Golden Dragon King received the Dragon God's Ultimate Strength, strongest body, Annihilation Godhead, and time attribute.
The Silver Dragon King received the eight attributes of earth, water, wind, fire, light, darkness, space, and spirit.
Some readers might wonder: where did the original work mention that the Silver Dragon King inherited the spiritual attribute?
Wisdom was a spiritual attribute, wasn't it?
In fact, the Golden Dragon King's strongest body could also be considered an attribute: life.
1. For the origins of the Dragon God and the twin dragons, I adopted the setting from Douluo IV—the newest and final setting: they were born in the universe, incubated and grown from the undivided chaos, rather than the Douluo III setting of being born on the Douluo Plane and nourished by the essence of the Sun Moon.
2. The Golden Dragon was the Dragon God's juvenile form. The Dragon God was simply a fully grown Golden Dragon.
Evidence one: the Dragon God's body was the Golden Dragon King, which proved that the Dragon God's original color was gold. In other words, when the Dragon God was first born, he was not a Nine-Colored Dragon, but the world's first Golden Dragon.
Evidence two: during the Unrivaled Tang Sect storyline, when Wang Qiu'er introduced the Golden Dragon Spear, she explained that if a living Golden Dragon obtained the forty-ninth rib—the Golden Dragon Spear—it had a chance to advance in a single step into the Dragon God.
Evidence three: after Wang Qiu'er was fused into Tang Wutong, without obtaining the Silver Dragon King's bloodline, she was still able to make her Golden Dragon bloodline grow in a single step into the Dragon God Bloodline. This naturally proved that the path of the Golden Dragon plus the Golden Dragon Spear could lead directly to the Dragon God's level.
Evidence four: without fusing with the Silver Dragon Spear, the Golden Dragon Spear could, on its own, pass through the Dragon Ascension Pillar and become the Dragon God Spear in a single step. This proved even more directly that a Golden Dragon could become the Dragon God, and that the Dragon God was in fact a grown-up Golden Dragon.
Evidence five: the Dragon God's biological son, the Dragon Clan Divine Crown Prince, possessed half of his mother the Dragon Clan Divine Empress's mottled mixed blood, yet his true body was also a Golden Dragon. Old Luo mentioned this in Douluo III. Moreover, he possessed strength surpassing the Nine True Dragon Kings.
As for why the Dragon God had always been nine-colored?
That was because, through diligent study in his "childhood," he turned the nine attributes he comprehended—earth, water, wind, fire, light, darkness, time, space, and spirit—into colors and painted them onto his body. That was why he visually appeared as a Nine-Colored Dragon.
The above was the final setting that perfectly unified and mutually corroborated the conflicting settings of Douluo II, Douluo III, and Douluo IV: the Dragon God's true body was the Golden Dragon King, and the Dragon God as a child was a Golden Dragon.
The supreme Dragon God was the existence that obtained both the Creation and Annihilation Godhoods and created the Divine Realm with the nine great laws.
To sum up—
Douluo II's Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Wang Qiu'er, could have wielded the Golden Dragon Spear and cultivated step by step into the Dragon God if she had not wasted her time or sacrificed herself. She could even have saved countless soul beasts from misery. One could only say that she died because of a love-struck brain.
3. The Silver Dragon King herself was formed from the nine laws cultivated by the Dragon God and was unrelated to the Dragon Clan bloodline.
Though she might have carried several lingering traces of the true body, the Golden Dragon King—namely, the Golden Dragon bloodline—when she split away, those traces were also injected into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body. That was what gave Wang Qiu'er her Golden Dragon Martial Soul.
Combining points two and three above, this book would introduce a concept:
"Purple-Gold Twins."
The phrase "the ancestor of Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon and the Dragon God" was too long, so "Purple-Gold Twins" would be used from now on.
(Of course, readers could also classify this "Dragon Clan twins" setting as a tribute to Dragon Raja. After all, Douluo Continent III may have involved Dragon Raja author Jiangnan, so adding the twin-on-the-throne setting from Dragon Raja would instead further highlight the beauty of fate.)
Since the Dragon God was a Golden Dragon who wielded Ultimate Strength from the moment he was born,
Then what form should that purple dragon, twin to the Dragon God—the ancestral Sub-Dragon born with the power of destruction—take?
Golden Dragon, and Purple(?) Dragon.
Thus, I made a bold yet well-founded name: Amethyst Dragon.
The character "crystal" already had precedent in the original work.
Because Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon was born amid the blazing "sun," the stronger Dragon Emperor should therefore be three suns: "crystal."
Just like the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, whose name also followed this method.
The basis was this: the Silver Dragon was created after the Dragon God absorbed moonlight, so the Silver Dragon King's name contained the character for "moon."
Therefore, this work's protagonist would also inherit this naming method from the original work, standing in direct opposition to the three characters of Gu Yuena.
Now, back to the setting—the Purple-Gold Twins.
The world's first Golden Dragon and the world's first Amethyst Dragon.
They would unfold 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 would absolutely fit the theme of "fate" in Legend of the Dragon King and provide all readers with the most perfect reading experience.
Finally, everyone might as well guess: if
The world's first Amethyst Dragon and the world's first Golden Dragon devoured and fused with each other, what supreme existence would be born?
Could an ultimate existence like the "Purple Gold Dragon" contend against the Douluo universe's ultimate existence, the Universe Will?
I, the author, guarantee:
The writing quality of this work was absolutely solid. From the previous "Prologue" chapter, you could see that I used very few of the reading-stumbling particles "de" and "le." I could also assure all readers here that this book's quality would only continue to improve.
Additionally, because each part of Douluo's four-part series had considerable differences in setting, if readers encountered settings that did not match their impressions, they could directly leave a paragraph comment about them.
Because the print version, webnovel version, and comic version of Legend of the Dragon King all had considerable discrepancies, if I used content from an outdated version of the original work, please do not blame me, fellow readers. Please correct me generously.
Last but not least, I hope all readers can follow the latest chapters every Tuesday, the platform system's evaluation day. It would be even better if you clicked the "Urge Update" button at the end of the chapter. This concerned whether I could receive a monthly income.
"Finally, may my attentiveness bring you a better reading experience."
