A few days ago.
Star Dou Great Forest·Core area.
Life Lake is as deep as ink, reflecting the sparse starlight on the dome.
The thousands-year-old trees beside the lake are towering, and the branches and leaves are filled with the rich energy of heaven and earth. Just one breath here by an ordinary soul beast is worth hundreds of days of hard training in the outside world.
On one side of the lake, Di Tian and Bi Ji were kneeling on one knee, their heads lowered, and they had been waiting quietly for a long time.
Finally, a voice sounded from deep in the middle of the lake.
"You are back."
The cold female voice echoed gently in the space without any emotion.
"Your Majesty." Di Tian said in a low voice, "I have something important to report."
"Say it."
Di Tian recounts what Mingdou Mountain Range experienced from the beginning - the tragic scene of the silver-haired boy's bloody battle, the obstruction of Mu En and Xuan Zi, and then the strange fleet that descended across space.
And at the end, the sky was filled with emerald light soaring into the sky, and an emerald figure stood firm in the light. He was unable to resist with just his breath.
"... If the being suspected of being Emerald Dragon King hadn't come forward to stop it, my subordinates... would have buried all those humans in the Mingdou Mountain Range."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surface of the lake suddenly changed.
It's not the wind.
It's some kind of indescribable force that comes from the depths of the lake--
The lake began to tremble slightly, and the ripples spread from the center of the lake to the surrounding areas, circle after circle, getting denser and faster.
The branches and leaves of the thousand-year-old trees on the shore made a rustling whisper, as if the entire Star Dou Great Forest was trembling with the awakening of a certain existence.
In the center of the lake, the water waves split to both sides.
A silver-white figure slowly rose from the center of the lake.
That's a dragon.
A slender and elegant Silver Dragon, the whole body is covered with moonlight-like scales, each of which has a cool luster.
The dragon's head is held high, and a pair of lavender dragon eyes overlook all living beings.
The dragon wings were folded at the sides, with pale silver light patterns flowing on the wing membranes. Every breath made the space around him slightly distorted.
She hovered above the lake, her silver dragon body glowing with its own brilliance, blending with the shimmering light in the center of the lake.
Just its "existence" is enough to make all Soul Beast within a hundred miles tremble.
Di Tian's head hung even lower. Ferocious Beast who were accompanying him knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
"Welcome, Your Majesty!"
Silver light flows.
The huge silver dragon body slowly shrank and reshaped in the light, turning into a slender figure.
Her long silver hair hangs down to her waist, glowing with light fluorescence.
She was wearing a silver-white dress that was trailing to the floor, with tiny ancient totems embroidered on the hem, gently swaying with her movements.
His face is peerless, with the majesty of the dragon clan between his brows and eyes, but also a hint of coldness and alienation that transcends the world.
She raised her hand and tapped it lightly.
Above the lake, the silver light condensed and turned into a silver-white throne engraved with dragon patterns.
The throne is suspended in mid-air, showing no outward arrogance, but it implies the supreme majesty of the dragon clan.
The silver-haired woman sat down gently, supported her chin with one hand, and looked at the kneeling Ferocious Beast with calm eyes, lazily and calmly, as if the vision that had just shaken the entire Star Dou Forest was nothing more than a small disturbance to her.
She.
Soul Beast is the co-owner, Silver Dragon King--Gu Yuena.
Dragon God is the original incarnation after the split, controlling the elements and life authority.
The supreme master of this continent Soul Beast is the supreme king that even Di Tian is willing to bow his head to.
"Everyone, get up."
"Di Tian, you just said...'suspected Emerald Dragon King'?"
There was a hint of interest in her tone.
Di Tian stood up, lowered his head and said, "Yes."
"As an orthodox descendant of the Dragon Clan, you should know that Nine Great Dragon Kings and Father God have already fallen one after another in that Divine Realm war. Do you know what you are talking about?"
"My subordinates naturally know!"
Di Tian raised his head with a calm look, "I also know that she is definitely not Emerald Dragon King, but the pressure on her bloodline level cannot be false. In front of her, I... can't think of any resistance. Therefore, I am bold and call it 'suspected Emerald Dragon King'."
"That's it."
Gu Yuena was silent for a moment, the light in his purple eyes flickering on and off, "Although I haven't taken back the little dragon, it's not all without gain. Did that 'Dragon King' say anything to you?"
Di Tian's expression changed slightly, but he hesitated to speak, "She said... she said..."
"What kind of behavior is there in hesitating and stammering?"
Gu Yuena interrupted him unhappily, "This is not your style. Just say what you have to say. Tell her exactly what she said, word for word."
Di Tian bit the bullet and said, "My lord, if you listen... don't get angry."
"Say, I won't pursue it."
Di Tian said bravely, "She said-'Go back and tell the little one hidden under Life Lake...Little Silver Dragon..."
"... When my lord wakes up and straightens out the cause and effect, he should go to Star Dou Forest in person and settle the relationship. At this moment, retreat.'"
The words fell, and he did not dare to look in the direction of the throne.
Gu Yuena closed his eyes.
Several Ferocious Beast dare not show off their arrogance.
I don't know how long it took.
"Little Silver Dragon?"
She repeated it softly, with no anger in her tone, but a hint of novelty, "It's quite affectionate. No one has ever dared to call me that since I was born. It's really... interesting."
Di Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "My lord, I have another question, I don't know if I should answer it or not."
"But it doesn't matter."
"In my subordinates' understanding, Emerald Dragon King is another name for the Space Dragon King, who is in charge of the laws of space. But the breath of life that permeates the body of the Crown Prince is clearly the purest breath of life. Could it be that... the Space Dragon King also has the attribute of life?"
Gu Yuena nodded slightly, as if approving that he could think of this level.
"Everything in the world with the word 'Jade' is closely related to life. Bi Ji's ethnic group is named 'Emerald Swan'. Do you know why?"
Di Tian was startled and looked at Bi Ji beside him.
Bi Ji nodded slightly, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
Gu Yuena continued, "The reason why the Space Dragon King got its name is because of its green scales - that's just the appearance, not the authority."
"And the one you see should be the king of the Emerald Dragon Clan - the 'Emerald Dragon King' who is in charge of the law of life in the true sense."
"If I remember correctly, this Emerald Dragon King is the creator of the Emerald Swan family."
Bi Ji took half a step forward, his voice trembling slightly. "The Lord is right. The first time I saw the crown prince, I recognized it - it was definitely the aura of Lord Emerald Dragon King, and it was unmistakable. And... and she not only recognized me and Di Tian at a glance, but also knew of your existence."
Gu Yuena smiled and said, "Well, on the human side... I'm afraid they don't know what they are facing."
Di Tian asked again, "Lord, what do you think of them? A Emerald Dragon King who suddenly appeared, and... a little dragon cub who likes to stay in human cities?"
Gu Yuena did not answer immediately.
The lake surface returned to silence, and the starlight broke into fine silver dots in the water.
After a long time, she spoke slowly, with a hint of distant reminiscence in her voice:
"It is rumored that after cultivating the first generation Nine Great Dragon Kings, Father God secretly carried out an extremely secret creation plan - the first Second-Generation Dragon Kings."
Di Tian pupils shrink.
"The training method of Second-Generation Dragon Kings is completely different from that of the first generation. It is said that it combines some kind of 'technology' and 'psionic' skills that transcend the times. However, this project was not completed when Father God was alive, and was later abandoned with the fall of Father God."
Gu Yuena regretted, "Although I inherit the origin of Father God, I am far less than one ten thousandth of Him, so I cannot sense it, let alone wake up those sleeping dragon kings."
Di Tian was shocked and said, "The Lord is saying that your Majesty is the second generation Emerald Dragon King? And that child is the one who inherited Dragon God Bloodline..."
"Eight and nine are inseparable from ten."
Silver Dragon King's voice was as calm as water, "Otherwise, how could a being appear out of thin air in this world that can make you, Di Tian, have no intention of resisting?"
Bi Ji was so excited that his voice changed its tone. "Second generation Emerald Dragon King! No wonder... no wonder that adult was so gentle when talking to me, she must have recognized me!"
She bowed deeply to Gu Yuena: "Thank you, Lord, for clearing up my subordinates' doubts!"
Di Tian also bowed and saluted. "Thank you, Lord."
Silver Dragon King said calmly, "No need to thank me. I am just making guesses based on the information I know."
At this moment, a rough roar exploded from the side.
"Lord, even if they are real, we still don't know whether they are enemies or friends--"
Among Ferocious Beast who was kneeling on the ground, a giant bear with a body like a mountain suddenly stood up. Its dark golden fur was as thick as armor, and its eyes were shining with unruly light.
It is Douluo Continent's "King of Ten Thousand Bears"--
Xiong Jun.
"--Especially that dragon cub in the human city, getting so close to that group of humans Shrek, I think it's very embarrassing for me."
He took a step forward, his eyes flashing with greed and fighting spirit. "Didn't they say they were coming to destroy Yuanyuan? In the opinion of my subordinates, it is better to capture him when he comes Life Lake, seize his blood, and give it to you to restore your strength. Wouldn't it be better?"
"Xiong Jun!"
Di Tian angrily shouted, the black mist billowing around him, and the golden light in his eyes, "Do you know what you are talking about? That is the bloodline of Master Dragon God! How dare you blaspheme? What's more, there is the Dragon King protecting you. If you act rashly, you will be seeking death!"
Xiong Jun was unmoved. Instead, he sneered, "Emerald Dragon King? That sounds like bluffing. In my opinion, like Bi Ji, she is in charge of life and healing. Fighting is probably not her strong point. What's more -"
He paused, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes. "What if it's a fake? Just like the big bug that ran away last time, it was an illusion created by Simulation's mental power. You are so afraid because you are suppressed by her blood and unable to exert your full strength."
"You--"
Bi Ji blushed, "How can you criticize that majesty like this!"
"I didn't mean to insult that Dragon King."
Xiong Jun stood with his arms folded, his tone not giving in at all, "I'm just thinking about the Lord and Soul Beast Clan. Di Tian, you didn't even move your hands, you were scared away with just your breath, don't you think it's embarrassing to say it out? If it were me, I would definitely have had a few moves with her on the spot to find out whether she was a real dragon king or an evil lizard with an appearance. You will know after one try!"
"Xiong Jun, you are looking for death--"
Di Tian's eyes were filled with murderous intent and was about to explode.
"That's enough."
Gu Yuena stopped, and the whole Life Lake fell silent instantly.
Di Tian suppressed his anger and knelt down on one knee again.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is because your subordinates are rude."
Gu Yuena did not pursue the matter, his purple eyes fell on Xiong Jun, and said calmly, "Xiong Jun, I understand your loyalty, but I also understand your stupidity."
Xiong Jun was stunned.
"Di Tian was so suppressed by his bloodline that he had no time to think about it. This is a fact. But even so, the power level of that being cannot be faked."
"If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself next time, and then come back and let me know - if you can still come back."
Xiong Jun hesitated for a moment, but finally did not dare to refute.
Gu Yuena continued, "No matter what, that little dragon has the aura of Father God on his body, and has obtained the things left by God Father. Don't act rashly."
"As for that Emerald Dragon King..."
There was a hint of solemnity in her voice, "She has been hiding from the world for many years, and she must have lost the same strength as me. Even if her power is no longer the same as before, it will not be difficult to deal with you Xiong Jun."
"Besides--"
Her eyes swept over everyone present Ferocious Beast:
"If there is a dragon king guarding that child, it is very likely that there will be a second, third, and even all Second-Generation Dragon Kings. Now we only see one of them, how can we know that there are no other dragon kings watching this place secretly? At this moment, your words may be being listened to by someone."
Xiong Jun turned pale, looked around subconsciously, and did not dare to say anything again.
Di Tian asked, "Lord, what should we... do now?"
Gu Yuena Think for a moment.
"Didn't you say that Xiaolong will come during this time?"
"The Lord means..."
"Then prepare a 'welcome banquet' to welcome him. If he really comes, notify me as soon as possible. If Emerald Dragon King can recognize his master, he should be more than just a 'bloodline'. I want to see what kind of existence this little dragon who has inherited the bloodline of Father God is."
Di Tian kowtowed deeply. "I accept my orders."
Gu Yuena stood up, and the throne trembled slightly with her movements, turning into a lake again and belonging to Life Lake.
She was hanging above the lake, her silver hair blowing slightly in the night wind.
"Go ahead and don't cause any more trouble until he comes."
"Yes."
Di Tian bowed and retreated together with everyone Ferocious Beast.
Silver light flashed.
Gu Yuena's figure turned into dots of silver light and disappeared into the night.
Life Lake returned to silence, with only a few imperceptible ripples remaining on the lake surface, like dormant undercurrents, waiting for the next storm.
