Who Dares Ruin My Millennia-Long Grand Plan? You Have Courted Death!

Tang Wulin's consciousness emerged from the darkness.

He blinked hard, and his vision gradually cleared.

He lay on the cold stone platform.

Above him was a dim dome, and all around him were rough stone pillars with patterns he didn't recognize carved on them.

This is?

Where is it?

He tried to sit up, but couldn't move his body.

His entire body, from neck to ankle, was firmly locked to the stone platform by some invisible force.

He can't even lift a single finger.

He could only move his eyes to look at the shadowy figures behind the stone pillar.

Tang Wulin struggled desperately, his Soul Power surging wildly through his body.

The Golden Dragon King Bloodline that had been dormant within him seemed to sense something.

An uncontrollable urge to well up from deep within my body.

The scalding heat flowed along the meridians to the limbs.

"Where am I?!" he cried out, his voice echoing in the empty stone chamber.

No one answered him.

The silent shadows remained motionless, and no one even glanced at him.

Footsteps came from behind the stone pillar.

Tang Wulin turned his head and saw a silver-white figure emerge from the darkness.

But I couldn't see his face!

Her purple eyes looked at him calmly.

Gu Yuena stood on the edge of the stone platform, looking down at the black-haired boy lying on it.

"Why are you arresting me!...?" Tang Wulin roared.

Gu Yuena did not answer him. She looked away from his face, turned around, and spoke softly, but her voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

Her voice was more subdued and composed than usual.

"Today, we will recreate the glory of the Soul Beast."

She paused, her purple eyes sweeping over the silent shadows.

"I will never forget everyone who was there."

This glory is shared with everyone.

Behind the stone pillar, the silent shadows finally reacted.

Zi JI was the first to step forward, kneeling on the ground with her head bowed low, her voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"It is my honor to serve my lord!"

Xiong Jun knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and lowered his head so much that it almost touched his knee.

"Long live the Silver Dragon King!"

Bi Ji, Scarlet King, King of Ten Thousand Monsters.

Other Ferocious Beast lurking in the darkness knelt down one after another.

The sounds converged into a deep, resonant wave within the stone chamber.

"The Silver Dragon King?? Is that the same as the Golden Dragon King inside me?"

"Is this why they arrested me?"

Tang Wulin fell silent after hearing these voices.

If it's true

Then I will definitely not escape this calamity today.

All I can do is pray to that person.

Di Tian stood slightly behind and to the side of Gu Yuena.

His golden, vertical pupils held a devotion no different from anyone else's.

Gu Yuena looked at the kneeling Ferocious Beast, and a slow smile appeared on her lips.

She slightly raised her chin, her eyes filled with a determined gleam.

Hmph, this is a move I often see Bai Yuan use in the Spirit Pagoda.

Every time he finished speaking, the staff members would bow down, bow down again, and bow down once more.

She thought to herself that if this tactic worked on the people in the Spirit Pagoda, it wouldn't be any worse on her subordinates.

It seems to be working well.

Gu Yuena silently gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.

A natural leader.

She truly surpasses her teacher.

That stinky human would be furious if he knew that the skills he worked so hard to develop had been stolen by her.

I wonder how angry she'll get.

Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze.

Tang Wulin was still struggling on the stone platform.

Golden light flickered on his right arm; it was the phantom of the uncontrollable Golden Dragon King.

"Stop struggling, your best ending is to be offered to me!"

"I'll make sure you leave easily!"

She stretched out her hand, her five fingers spread wide, and silvery-white light poured out from her fingertips.

Gu Yuena closed her eyes and released the Silver Dragon King Power from her body.

The immense dragon's might pressed down on the struggling black-haired boy on the stone platform.

Tang Wulin felt a chill run down his spine.

It's not fear, it's resistance.

That is an instinctive resistance deep within one's bloodline against beings of the same level.

It's like they're having a competition to see who's better!

His Golden Dragon Claw extended uncontrollably from his fingertips, then trembled and retracted under the Silver Dragon King's oppressive aura.

He gritted his teeth, wanting to resist, but found that he didn't even have the right to stand up in front of Gu Yuena.

Tears streamed down Tang Wulin's face.

It wasn't fear, it was resentment.

He was too weak, so weak that he couldn't even control his own destiny.

So weak that they could only lie on the stone platform and be slaughtered at will.

The old voice from before echoed in my mind.

"Little brat, the power of the Golden Dragon King is sealed within you."

That is one of the most powerful bloodlines in the world, and also your greatest secret.

Old Tang.

The old man who appeared in his dream was the one who told him the secret of the Golden Dragon King.

Tang Wulin screamed wildly in his heart.

Old Tang, Old Tang, where are you?

Help me!

This was the only person he could think of.

The group of men in black were after the Golden Dragon King.

The only one who can save him is Old Tang, who knows the secret of the Golden Dragon King.

No one answered.

Tang Wulin waited for a long time, his mind completely silent.

There was no aged voice, nothing at all.

Suddenly, a crazy idea popped into my head.

Old Tang once said that the Golden Dragon King's power was sealed within him, locked by golden chains.

He couldn't touch the chains, but what if he used the Golden Dragon King's own power?

That force is now rampaging through his body, trying to break through Gu Yuena's suppression.

If he doesn't suppress it, but instead lets it crash against those chains.

Would that allow us to break the seal?

Tang Wulin closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into his body.

The golden chains peeked out from the darkness.

He controlled the violent power within him and crashed into the chains.

"Hey kid, you can't touch that thing!"

Tang Wulin's body jolted, and he abruptly opened his eyes, his pupils reflecting a familiar figure.

His face showed a mixture of helplessness and anxiety.

Old Tang hovered in front of him, his body semi-transparent, like a ghost that could be blown away by the wind at any moment.

Tang Wulin's tears welled up again, and he squeezed out a few words with trembling lips.

"Old Tang... you've finally shown up."

"Please help me!"

Tears welled up in Tang Wulin's eyes, and his voice was filled with despair.

Old Tang looked at him, a hint of reluctance appearing on his aged face.

"I... can't save you either."

I am merely a consciousness; I possess no real abilities.

Tang Wulin was struck dumb, his entire body stiffening.

A consciousness entity? Lacking the ability?

What should he do?

Am I going to collapse right here?

"Don't want!"

He roared, his voice echoing in the narrow space of his consciousness.

"I still need to find my parents!"

I still have friends!

I want to live!

Ah--!!"

The power of the Golden Dragon King, which had been suppressed, sealed off, and imprisoned by chains, seemed to respond to his despair at this moment.

Hot, golden blood gushed forth from deep within his body, surging through his meridians.

Uncontrollable golden scales emerged from his right arm, spreading from his fingertips to his elbow.

A violent, suffocating golden beam of light exploded from the stone platform and shot straight up to the dome.

Gu Yuena stood by the stone platform, the golden beam of light reflected in her purple eyes.

"Oh?"

Her lips slowly parted into a wide smile, the curve growing ever wider.

Hahahahaha.

Did the Golden Dragon King come to welcome me?

I truly deserve everyone's praise!

She raised her hand, her fingers spread, and a silvery-white light poured out from her palm.

With a wave of her hand, she forcefully suppressed the explosive golden beam of light.

The Golden Dragon King's newly awakened aura was locked around the stone platform by the Silver Dragon King's power.

It could no longer spread even a fraction.

Hahahahaha.

It feels so good to be able to unleash my power!

She opened her arms, and a silvery-white light exploded around her.

Her long silver hair danced wildly in the air currents, and her purple eyes were filled with arrogance and exhilaration.

"I don't have to suffer being bullied by humans every day! Humph!"

Her smile faded, and a cold glint flashed in her purple eyes.

Looking down at the black-haired boy still struggling on the stone platform.

"Once I fuse with the Golden Dragon King, I will unify the continent, restore the glory of the Soul Beast, and make the Spirit Pagoda my footsteps—"

Gu Yuena reached out and hovered her hand above Tang Wulin's chest, a smug, almost maniacal smile curving her lips.

Bai Yuan, be my servant!

She closed her five fingers, and the silvery-white light transformed into countless fine threads.

It entered Tang Wulin's body and began to draw upon the power of the Golden Dragon King, which had been dormant for ten thousand years.

Tang Wulin's body suddenly arched up, like a shrimp whose tail had been stepped on.

Pain exploded in my chest, spreading along my meridians to every part of my body; it was the pain of being forcibly torn away.

It felt like being pulled out of my body by an invisible hand.

"Ouch--! That hurts--!"

Tang Wulin's screams echoed in the stone chamber, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

His consciousness began to blur amidst the intense pain, and his vision became intermittent.

"I can't take it anymore... I'm going to faint..."

Gu Yuena frowned slightly, as the Golden Dragon King's power surging from Tang Wulin's body resisted her.

Rather, it was the Golden Dragon King's instinct to resist.

His power is being drained, and he doesn't want to give it away.

"Suck it!"

Gu Yuena gritted her teeth, her silvery-white radiance surged, and her purple pupils were filled with ferocity.

Just as Gu Yuena was about to unleash all of the Golden Dragon King's power in one fell swoop, a blinding golden light exploded from Tang Wulin's chest.

The light was different from the Golden Dragon King's tyrannical gold; it was purer, more sacred, and carried a majesty that did not belong to the human world.

The golden light formed a barrier, shutting out Gu Yuena's silvery-white radiance.

The Golden Dragon King's power also ceased its agitation within this barrier.

Gu Yuena was forced back half a step by this force, her brows furrowed.

A flicker of surprise flashed in his purple eyes, which quickly turned to anger.

"Who--"

A voice came from the golden light.

The sound pierced through the stone chamber and through Gu Yuena's silvery-white radiance.

"Who dares to ruin my grand plan that will last for millennia?"

"You have already chosen your own path to death!"
