Silver Dragon King's Return! Dragon God Core! Healing Her Injuries!

Bai Yuan's voice came from the other side of the closing Space Rift, carrying an undisguised hint of disdain:

Why do you talk so much?

"Close."

As soon as the words fell, the edge of the spatial rift seemed to be activated instantly by some kind of will, beginning to repair and weave itself.

The spatial barrier, shimmering with silver-gray light patterns, regenerated within a few breaths, completely isolating the two ends of the rift.

The crack disappeared.

The last ripples remaining inside Dragon Valley slowly subsided in the air.

Then the entire Dragon Valley space.

It's completely sealed off.

"Damn it!!!"

In the instant the silver light exploded, the thousand-meter-long silver dragon transformed into a stunningly beautiful girl with black hair and purple eyes in a fit of rage.

Gu Yuena stood atop an unnamed mountain peak on the Star Luo Continent, with the completely healed sky before her and distant, layered mountains behind her.

The wind swept past her, but it seemed to be repelled by an invisible force.

"I am the Silver Dragon King!"

Her voice exploded on the empty mountaintop, and elemental power surged wildly with her emotions.

The vegetation on the surrounding rocks withered, bent, and sprawled at a visible rate.

"How could I be so fooled by a human?!"

She clenched her fists, her chest heaving violently.

A burning, inextinguishable humiliation resided in his purple eyes.

Being in someone's area of expertise.

They tricked him, and before he even had a chance to fight back, he was locked out.

Even if we get rid of him later... it's still a disgrace!

She let out a low growl, and the elemental power surging around her finally subsided slightly.

But the oppressive feeling still lingered within a radius of several miles, Soul Beast in the nearby mountains and forests had long since prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to even raise their heads.

Gu Yuena stood for a moment, slowly calming her breathing.

"I am the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts, calm down!"

Her gaze fell on her palm.

The Dragon God Core floated silently.

The nine-colored light was more solid than when it was first obtained.

It seems that it has already completed the initial fusion with her Silver Dragon King Bloodline.

She stared at it, her expression gradually becoming serious.

"Boom!"

A violent spatial fluctuation came from behind her.

Di Tian pressed his palms into the void, frantically pouring in golden-black Soul Power, attempting to use the same trick to tear through space and catch up with Dragon Valley.

But this time, the void remained completely still, without even the slightest crack appearing.

A moment later, Di Tian's shoulders slumped slightly.

He withdrew his hand and knelt on one knee.

"I'm sorry, my lord."

"It is my incompetence; please punish me, my lord."

Gu Yuena did not turn around.

"... That's enough."

She gently cupped the Nine-Colored Core in her hands, her fingertips slowly tracing its surface.

"The Dragon God Core is the cornerstone of the Dragon Valley space."

"After it was taken away, Dragon Valley drifted aimlessly like a rootless duckweed, and no one knew where it would drift to."

She paused, her voice lowering slightly:

"The Space Rift in this place... has failed."

Di Tian stood up from the ground and silently stood half a step behind her.

Gu Yuena suddenly tilted her head, a hint of uncertainty in her voice:

"Too easy, too easy, something's not right."

"Besides... don't you think that person is too mysterious?"

Di Tian was taken aback. "Your Majesty means...?"

"Premature contact may not be a good thing."

Gu Yuena retrieved the Dragon God Core into her body and turned to face the Star Luo Empire Land below the mountain.

"But judging from today's performance, he's temporarily on our side."

"My lord, you mean...?"

"Um."

Gu Yuena nodded, a complex light flashing in her eyes.

"He and we share a common enemy."

She turned her head to look at Di Tian, the anger in her eyes had faded considerably, replaced by a rapidly processing thought:

"Didn't you notice that he barely argued with us today?"

"He clearly possessed power surpassing mine, but he didn't use it when vying for the Dragon God Core."

In the end, they just banished me from Dragon Valley.

"Could it be that the person's purpose in entering Dragon Valley wasn't for the Dragon God's Heart?"

Di Tian was stunned for a moment.

Then he realized.

That's absolutely true.

The battle seemed intense, but upon closer reflection, each "victory" at a crucial juncture came far too easily.

Bai Yuan only truly fought seriously with a few punches and the final spear thrust; most of the time, he was acting.

"The Lord is right..."

Di Tian's voice deepened, and a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Obtaining the Dragon God Core... was too easy."

"But in any case, our lord has obtained the Dragon God Core, and the injuries left by the Asura Demon Sword have mostly healed. The great plan for the Soul Beast Clan can be realized, and revival is in sight!" Di Tian said excitedly.

Gu Yuena's lips curved slightly, a smile tinged with resentment, but mostly with clarity:

"That's true, there's no need to delve into it further."

"The core is already in my hands; that feeling is unmistakable."

She raised her hand, her five fingers slowly clenching, and nine-colored light leaked out from between her fingers, illuminating half of her profile.

"Wait until I get the Golden Dragon King's core."

A light rekindled in her voice:

"Hmph, whatever his schemes may be, they are no match for my absolute strength."

"It's all in vain."

Di Tian clenched his fists tightly, a surge of intense emotion welling up in his chest.

He knelt on one knee once more, his voice now carrying a greater intensity and fervor than before:

"My lord is mighty!"

"What a blessing for my Soul Beast!"

"Once our lord has fully grasped the Dragon God Core and ascended to become the next generation of Dragon God, he will lead us to take revenge on humanity!"

Di Tian knelt on the ground, celebrating the long-awaited revival of the Soul Beast Clan!

Gu Yuena stood atop the mountain without turning back, gazing at the distant horizon where the vast land stretched out Star Luo Empire.

The wind tossed the ends of her hair, and the nine-colored light in her eyes flickered for a fleeting moment.

Then she spoke softly, as if talking to herself:

"What a wonderful continent!"

"The scenery is so beautiful."

"If only these places were full of Soul Beast."

Di Tian stepped forward and lowered his voice. "My lord, there is something else I need to report to you."

Gu Yuena raised her hand to interrupt him:

"We'll talk about it when we get back. I've been out for too long, and I haven't fully integrated the Dragon God Core yet."

She paused, her silver eyes slightly narrowing in the mountain breeze:

"Stay hidden for now. Don't let anyone discover your whereabouts."

"Clear."

Di Tian bowed his head and accepted the order, his golden-black Soul Power slowly receding until it was invisible.

The two turned and headed down the mountain.

But after taking three steps, Gu Yuena paused for a moment.

She didn't turn around.

My gaze went beyond my shoulder line and landed on the completely healed sky behind me.

That's where Dragon Valley once stood.

Now only a blue sky remains.

A complex emotion flickered in his purple eyes.

Then she spoke, her voice neither too loud nor too soft.

"Hmph, you'd better not die."

The wind carried those words to the heavens, where they struck distant mountains, leaving no echo.

"You'd better still be of use to me when we meet next time."

Her voice rose a half-octave.

"Otherwise, I will kill you!"

"The Silver Dragon King cannot be insulted!"

Gu Yuena's lips curved slightly.

A few strands of her long silver hair were blown up by the wind, brushing past the corners of her slightly upturned lips.

"Snort."

She looked down at her palm.

The power of the Dragon God Core is slowly settling within his body.

She gently clenched her fists, and the light receded into its depths.

"I'll go back and teach my Senior Brother a good lesson."

There was something in her voice that she herself wasn't even aware of.

"Stinky human."

"This time, you have to kneel down and sing 'Conquer' for me!"
