Dragon God Space? Private Divine Artifact? Gu Yuena's Irritation!
The elevator car slowly ascended, the floor numbers ticking up one by one.
Gu Yue leaned against the wall of the sedan chair and closed her eyes for two seconds.
Silver light flickered slightly beneath his eyelids.
The image of Tang Wulin standing in front of her just now flashed before her eyes.
In that instant, she sensed a change in the aura within him.
Golden.
Violent.
With a primal, almost reflexive, instinct to "want to get closer".
Gu Yue's lips curved into a slow smile.
That curve carried an undisguised chill:
"Oh."
"You brainless thing, you think you can devour me?"
The Golden Dragon King, the other side of the Dragon God, is violent, flawed, and lacks wisdom.
And herself.
It embodies the "wisdom" and Genesis Power of the Dragon God.
From the very beginning, it was on a completely different level from that madman.
"Only the supremely wise Silver Dragon King can become Dragon God."
She slightly raised her chin, a flash of silver light passing through the depths of her pupils.
"You just wait."
"I'll find a chance to devour you."
The elevator dinged as it arrived at the floor.
Gu Yue walked out, the carpet in the corridor swallowing the sound of her footsteps.
She took two steps, then suddenly slowed down.
The silver gaze shifted from the empty corridor ahead to the tips of its own shoes.
"... Where did that stinky human go?"
She frowned, her fingers unconsciously twirling a strand of hair that fell in front of her shoulder, wrapping it twice around her fingertips.
"I was planning to teach him a lesson!"
"Where have you been gallivanting off to this time?"
"I'm going to tell Leng Yaozhu!"
"Hmph! Just you wait."
She pushed open the door to her room and went inside.
"Hehe, just wait till you come back and I'll trample you under my feet."
"Just imagining this scene makes my heart race!!"
A very slight smile remained on the corner of her mouth.
The door closed.
The corridor fell silent again.
Four days later. Dragon Valley.
Bai Yuan sat cross-legged in the center of the deep pit, his eyes closed, his breathing long and steady.
A dark golden light flowed slowly around him, rising and falling like the tide, each undulation causing a subtle resonance in the remaining energy within the surrounding dragon bones.
Suddenly.
"Buzz~"
He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, which condensed into a hazy white mist in mid-air before dissipating.
With a slight lift of his eyelids, his golden eyes opened in the dim light, clearly revealing the dragon bone patterns within a radius of several meters.
Bai Yuan moved his shoulders, his joints making a soft, crisp sound.
He stood up and stretched, looking quite energetic.
Every inch of his muscles and bones exudes a newfound fullness.
Let's pause for now.
He glanced sideways at the steadily burning Core Flame in the center of the pit.
"It's been a few days. I still have things to do over there, so I need to go back first."
Dragon Valley has fallen silent.
Those keelbacks that once wailed in the wind now stand silently, like silent mountains.
The myriad dragon souls no longer wander aimlessly; they lie hidden within their own bones.
With Heartsworn Guardians, they did everything in their power to stabilize this space that had been mended anew.
The Core Flame overhead was swirling with light at a constant frequency.
Like an ever-burning lighthouse, it mobilizes the newly awakened earth energy of the dragon veins deep within the ground, causing the entire plane to pulsate with a new heartbeat.
Bai Yuan withdrew his gaze and sat down again, but this time he was no longer in a meditative state.
He closed his eyes and felt it for a moment.
The power flowing through my body was heavy and warm, surging in my blood.
For four days, the dragon souls continued to transmit dragon power to him.
Thousands upon thousands of remaining wills poured their last essence into his body without reservation.
Those forces tempered his flesh and blood, his bones, and his Sea of Consciousness.
It was as if he had etched the Remembrance and essence of the entire Dragon Valley into every inch of his being.
Bai Yuan opened his eyes and clenched his fist slightly.
The dark gold patterns flashed across my palm.
The force pressed heavily on my palm, carrying a primal, earth-shattering quality.
"My physical body."
"... Explosively strong!"
He looked down at his palm, his tone carrying a hint of surprise that even he hadn't expected.
The quality of that dragon energy was much richer than he had expected.
It is neither violent nor flamboyant, but rather like a rough jade polished by countless wills.
Calm, steady, and dense, each strand can unleash an explosive force far exceeding its own body size.
"Even geniuses who are physically gifted would question the meaning of life if they saw the strength of their own bodies."
He looked up at the burning Core Flame overhead.
The dark golden halo reflected in his golden eyes seemed to confirm the greatest gain of his trip.
Strength is one aspect.
More importantly, this space has been forever and irreversibly connected to him.
He stood up, turned around, and walked towards the exit of Dragon Valley.
He took two steps and then suddenly stopped.
"... I almost forgot."
He turned around and glanced at the dragon bone land beneath his feet, which had been sleeping for ten thousand years.
Then he raised his hand, his five fingers loosely clenched, and the power of the Core Flame spread from his palm.
"Receive."
A soft shout.
The entire Dragon Valley.
Earth, sky, dragon bones, dragon soul, and the plane that was just stitched together by the twelve chains of laws.
It contracted violently in that instant.
The space collapsed towards the center from all directions.
The sounds of the wind, the light, and the whispers of the dragon soul were all kneaded into a tiny, dark golden speck of light, which fell into Bai Yuan's palm.
Dragon Valley has disappeared.
Only a single, fingertip-sized bead of light remained, lying quietly in his palm.
Inside the light bead, miniature mountains and flowing dark gold patterns are faintly visible, like a planet compressed to its extreme, suspended in a small space.
Bai Yuan glanced down at it, then tucked it deep into his chest.
"... That's really perverted."
"I have it now, a super-sized otherworld?"
"It seems this space can become more like the real world as I grow stronger."
He stood there, his mind racing.
Such a large space, the energy reserves of the dragon bones and the earth's energy from the dragon veins alone are already outrageous.
Should we get some seedlings of the Immortal Herb * and plant them when we get back?
The energy contained in those remains of Dragon Valley could probably be used as fertilizer to grow some outrageous species of immortal Immortal Herb.
"... Let's return to the mission first."
He snapped out of his thoughts and headed towards the hotel.
Half an hour later.
Lobby of Star Luo Hotel.
The moment Bai Yuan pushed the door open and walked in.
Zhuo Shi was standing at the front desk giving instructions when he turned his head and saw that familiar figure walking in from the door.
His eyes widened suddenly.
"Bai Yuan! Where have you been?"
"Do you know that we've been asking you this for the past few days?"
"And you, all you do is say 'Nothing's wrong, don't worry!'"
Bai Yuan didn't stop walking; as she passed by him, she tilted her head slightly.
"Oh."
Then he continued walking.
The Zhuo Shi stood there, mouth agape.
He stared at Bai Yuan's retreating figure as it disappeared into the depths of the hall, his beard twitching slightly.
As he walked through the lobby toward the elevator...
The Shrek group had already cautiously peeked out from the rest area upon hearing the noise.
"Brother Bai Yuan is back!"
Tang Wulin was the first to stand up, his eyes sparkling as he ran two steps toward Bai Yuan, and then, the moment he saw Bai Yuan...
He froze completely.
"Holy crap."
Xie Xie squeezed up from behind him, a snack stick still dangling from his mouth. The moment his gaze fell on Bai Yuan, the stick slipped out of his mouth.
Bai Yuan's appearance has changed.
My skin looked as if it had been soaked in the light of Dragon Valley for four days, and my whole body radiated a warm, jade-like glow from the inside out.
The lines between the eyebrows and eyes were sculpted into a more distinct shape by some force.
Even the act of standing still and doing nothing possesses an irresistible allure...
"He's so handsome!"
"Even I, a guy, couldn't take my eyes off it."
The aura was even more exaggerated.
Just by standing there quietly, everyone was already aware of it.
He's become much better than he was before he left.
Several female students lingered on him for a moment before quickly looking away, their ears turning red.
Xie Xie was the first to react, rushing to him in two steps and looking him up and down three times:
"Big Brother Bai, where did you go for a beauty treatment?"
"Why did you come back like this?"
"He's like a completely different person!"
He leaned closer with a sincere expression:
"Tell me, tell me, where did you get it done! I want to go too!"
Beside him, Yue Zhengyu sat on the sofa, pretending to flip through a book.
The cover was upside down, but he was completely unaware; his ears had already quietly perked up.
But his gaze still involuntarily drifted towards Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan walked over and patted Yue Zhengyu on the shoulder.
Yue Zhengyu shuddered, forcing himself not to turn around, but the tips of his ears were already bright red.
But he didn't say anything.
After Bai Yuan entered the elevator, Yue Zhengyu plopped back down on the sofa.
He snatched the book from Xu Lizhi's hands and covered his face with it; a muffled sound came from behind the pages:
"What did he do?!"
How am I supposed to catch up with him?!
"Waaaaah, I don't want to live anymore!!!"
Xu Lizhi silently removed the book from his face.
"Then you'd better stay alive first."
Yue Zhengyu covered his face with the book again, completely entering a state of self-isolation.
Gu Yue was sitting cross-legged in the center of the bed.
Nine-colored light rippled outwards from her palm in concentric circles.
"Call--"
She let out a long breath, tinged with a hint of annoyance.
It's been several days, and the absorption rate of this damn core is as slow as a snail's pace.
I clearly sensed the immense power contained within it.
But each time, it gets stuck in place and can't move.
"What the hell...?"
"I, the Silver Dragon King!! How could I have suffered another setback!"
She opened her eyes with a frown; the word "annoying" was written in large letters on the door.
Then the door was pushed open.
A figure leaned against the door frame, arms crossed.
"Junior sister, what are you doing?"
"Your senior Senior Brother is back!"
Gu Yue paused.
The light from the Dragon God Core flickered Youyou in her palm.
She slowly raised her eyes, her silver gaze snapping out of her lingering cultivation state and landing on the figure at the doorway.
Gu Yue was taken aback.
Then the corners of her mouth slowly began to turn upwards.
The final image freezes on a mischievous grin.
"You've come at the perfect time."
She suddenly stood up from the bed, her Soul Power surging around her instantly, and silver light flowed back onto her fists like water.
"I was just looking for someone to vent my anger on!!!"
Before she finished speaking, Gu Yue pushed off with her feet, transforming into a silver afterimage as she charged toward the figure at the door.
The fist, carrying the buzzing sound of Soul Power, struck directly at Bai Yuan's face.
Bai Yuan's eyes sharpened, and he slightly shifted his body as the fist grazed past his ear.
"Oh my!"
He tilted his head to dodge the second punch.
"What? I just got back."
"Let's have a showdown!"
