Long Yun: Di Tian Had a Hard Life! The Day the Dragon Clan Rose, It Would Return to the Divine Realm!

Those lines of text struck everyone's hearts like heavy hammers.

In the image, the Black Dragon Di Tian soared through the air. Each beat of his wings shattered space and swallowed everything in endless darkness.

These were the Laws of Space and Darkness he had commanded by birth. Countless gods who had tried to surround and attack the Dragon God had been reduced to ashes beneath his claws.

In an instant, the comments across the Sky Screen erupted.

Countless Soul Masters and Soul Beasts communicated through the Sky Screen, their shocked cries ringing without end.

Who could have guessed that the Beast God, who usually kept to himself, had such a terrifying background?

"Dragon God Personal Guard Chief? That's an existence from the Divine Realm!"

"My god, Di Tian was a close aide to the Dragon God of the Divine Realm? No wonder he's lived so long. His strength is simply unfathomable!"

"A divine dragon who commands Darkness and Space—his origins are downright terrifying!"

Within the Core Circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Ferocious Beasts stared at the towering Black Dragon in the image. For a moment, silence reigned like death.

Xiong Jun's massive body suddenly trembled, and he plopped down onto the ground, cracking the earth around him in several places.

He frantically rubbed his eyes with his thick paws, his mouth gaping wide. His usually fearsome bear face was now a picture of comical terror.

"I, old Xiong... I used to think about challenging him every day?"

Xiong Jun swallowed, feeling a chill at the back of his neck, as if a dragon claw might reach over at any moment and twist his bear head off.

"Dragon God Personal Guard Chief, huh!

"He was a mighty one who served the Dragon God. He could probably tear this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear of mine to pieces with a single breath.

"Boss, why didn't you tell us you had connections like that?

"If you'd told me earlier, I'd have served you tea every day. How would I ever have dared show you the slightest disrespect?"

King of Ten Thousand Demons wore a bitter smile, too. His body trembled faintly. The trace of pride he'd felt at receiving a reward from the Sky Screen was utterly crushed in that moment.

"Lord Di Tian usually keeps to himself. I never imagined he had such a legendary past.

"No wonder Lord Di Tian is far stronger than the rest of us. A Dragon God Personal Guard Chief—his credentials certainly befit the title of Beast God."

King of Ten Thousand Demons sighed.

Meanwhile, the human world was in an uproar as well.

The royals and powerful figures of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire watched the introduction on the Sky Screen, their faces deathly pale.

A personal guard chief to a god of the Divine Realm had been hiding in the Star Dou Great Forest right beside them. How could they not be afraid?

In Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong sat upon the Papal throne, gazing at the giant dragon beside the throne of the Divine Realm. Shock and helplessness filled her beautiful face.

"Dragon God..."

Bibi Dong murmured, turbulent waves surging in her heart.

"The Soul Beast Ranking has only revealed the fourth-place entry, and it already involves the Dragon God of the Divine Realm.

"Could the beings in third, second, or even first place also be connected to the Dragon God?"

The thought struck Bibi Dong as utterly absurd.

In the Great Hall, Qian Daoliu and several Enshrined Elders looked grave as well.

Golden Crocodile Douluo sighed, a hint of relief in his voice.

"Great Enshrined, Your Holiness the Pope, thank goodness we didn't rashly attack the Core Circle of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"If we truly drove a living Dragon God Personal Guard Chief into a corner, Spirit Hall would have to pay an unimaginable price."

Qian Daoliu silently closed his eyes and gave a slight nod.

"With the Sky Screen revealing one divine secret after another, it seems this world is about to change."

They all secretly congratulated themselves for not provoking those terrifying ancient beings out of momentary greed.

Deep in the Evil Demon Forest of the Sun Moon Empire.

The Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign, who had been laughing at Di Tian without restraint, now had a huge eye filled with fear and unease.

Watching Di Tian's imposing figure on the Sky Screen, the Evil Emperor felt all his tentacles stiffen.

He remembered his earlier battle with Di Tian. At the time, he'd thought that even in defeat, he had fought with honor. He'd even believed Di Tian had only won because of his greater Soul Power cultivation.

But now, seeing the title "Dragon God Personal Guard Chief," the Evil Emperor felt his scalp prickle.

"You could've told me you had connections like that!"

The Evil Emperor howled inwardly.

"You were an ancient divine dragon who served the Dragon God, yet you came to compete with me for the title of strongest on the continent?

"If you'd shown me that identity earlier, I would've given you a wide berth!"

Thinking of how he'd actually fought toe to toe with a descendant of a Divine Realm dragon and a close aide to the Dragon God, the Evil Emperor didn't know whether he should feel proud or worry that Di Tian would settle the score someday.

At that moment, high above Douluo Continent,

Di Tian and Bi Ji had transformed into two streaks of light, flying toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Bi Ji glanced at Di Tian, whose expression kept shifting beside her. Her beautiful eyes were full of admiration and astonishment.

"Lord Di Tian, you... you were once the Dragon God's Personal Guard Chief?"

Di Tian slowly stopped in midair, standing among the clouds.

The strong wind swept through his black hair, and bewilderment filled his eyes as well.

As for the Dragon God, all he knew was that he was the leader of the Black Dragon Clan and bore the responsibility of restoring the Soul Beast Clan to glory. He had no memory at all of ever being a personal guard chief.

"In my previous life, was I actually an existence who surpassed the gods...?"

Di Tian looked down at his hands. The Dragon Clan Bloodline within him surged wildly, stirring a faint resonance.

His unwillingness gradually transformed into a burning longing.

He had always yearned to become a god, to lead the Soul Beast Clan in breaking the Divine Realm's rule.

Now that he knew of his past glory, his resolve had never been stronger.

"The Dragon Clan will return to the Divine Realm!"

At Rainbow Academy, by the Pool of Life,

warm sunlight spilled across the rippling water, scattering a rainbow of light.

Long Yun sat on a wicker chair, holding a jade-green fishing rod as he gazed leisurely at the still water.

On his shoulders, two palm-sized young dragons, as delicate as carved jade, chased each other playfully.

One was blue all over, radiating an icy chill; the other was scarlet, surrounded by warm fire elements.

They were the reborn Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King.

Now they, too, lifted their heads to look at the image in the sky. A trace of age-old sorrow and nostalgia flashed in their eyes.

"Father, this Sky Screen is truly mysterious. It can reveal all the events of the Divine Realm from back then."

The Ice Dragon King spoke in a childish voice, though his tone was heavy.

The Fire Dragon King sighed along with him, his scarlet eyes full of emotion.

"Yes. Reborn in this life, I never expected that little Di Tian would still be alive—and had even become the Beast God of this continent."

Long Yun watched the fishing float quiver faintly on the surface of the lake, a slight smile appearing on his face.

"That child Di Tian has had a hard life."

The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King both froze at Long Yun's words.

In their eyes, Di Tian was the hope of the Black Dragon Clan and, now, the continent's mightiest being. How had he become a "poor child" in their father's eyes?

"Father, why do you say that?"

The Fire Dragon King flapped his little wings and flew in front of Long Yun, his large eyes full of curiosity and confusion.
