Na'er Recovers Her Memories, The Origin of Mental Power

It was already late at night when they returned home. Tang Ziran carried the still-exhausted Tang Wulin inside, careful not to wake Lang Yue and Na'er, who were already asleep.

"Linlin, how did you end up so drained?" Tang Ziran asked with concern while wiping his son's dusty face with a warm towel.

"I'm fine, Dad. I just forged a very difficult piece of metal today. It was worth five million!" By the end, Tang Wulin's voice grew stronger, tinged with a sense of pride.

Tang Ziran patted his son's cheek and said proudly, "That's my boy!"

"Alright, you're tired too. Get some rest early tonight; don't you have to go back to school tomorrow?"

"Okay."

Tang Wulin answered simply and fell asleep almost immediately.

He had to return to school tomorrow to collect his graduation certificate and the recommendation letter for East Sea Academy.

Once Tang Ziran had finished tidying up and fallen asleep, Long Yuan could no longer wait to reveal his form. He passed through the wall and entered Na'er's room next door.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he sensed a powerful fluctuation of spiritual power. A silver light barrier enveloped Na'er's body.

Lang Yue, who was on the other side of the bed, had already been knocked unconscious, though it was clear Na'er still possessed some control, as she had only rendered her unconscious without causing any harm.

Long Yuan passed through the silver barrier and immediately locked eyes with a pair of amethyst-like pupils.

Those eyes were watching him in return, and the two stared at each other.

"Should I call you Na'er, or should I call you something else?"

Na'er: "..."

"What's wrong? Now that your memories have returned, do you not recognize me?"

"Brother..."

The two words were uttered as softly as a mosquito's hum, and Na'er covered her mouth in a panic.

Long Yuan smiled inwardly. He knew he had secured this; even after her memories returned, Na'er's instincts were still deeply imprinted in her body and had not been erased.

However, his expression remained unchanged.

"Or perhaps I should call you the Silver Dragon King, right? My dear sister."

Long Yuan spoke the last part almost word for word, especially the word "sister."

"Who is the Silver Dragon King? What nonsense are you spouting?"

Seeing that Gu Yuena was still playing dumb, Long Yuan stopped acting. He closed the distance and grabbed her by the throat.

"Mmph..."

"Do you think I could mistake you for someone else? Or were you struck stupid by that traitor, the Asura God?"

Upon hearing the name "Asura God" from Long Yuan, Gu Yuena completely gave up.

"Hmph! As if the Asura God could ever do that! I am the embodiment of the Dragon God's wisdom!"

Although she had implicitly admitted to being the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena still stubbornly tried to save face.

"Mm... truly the embodiment of wisdom, indeed..."

Gu Yuena's eyes widened.

Why did that sound so strange?

"Hmph, you don't need to emphasize that fact. What exactly do you want now? Are you here to devour me?"

Gu Yuena said, putting on a brave front.

Devour!

That was the reason she had been playing dumb earlier.

She knew her own situation best; she was in a terrible state. Her spiritual power was only at the initial level of the Spirit Connection Realm, she had no martial soul, and her true body was not even here.

Heaven knows how difficult it was for her to keep her composure when she learned from her memories that Long Yuan's divine consciousness existed!

She was terrified that she would be grabbed and swallowed by Long Yuan at any moment, so she had been forced to expend great effort to set up a spiritual barrier to ensure she wouldn't be disturbed.

Yet, who would have thought that Long Yuan would still find her?

Watching Gu Yuena, who had closed her eyes and was waiting for death, Long Yuan felt that the future of the Dragon race was bleak.

We of the Dragon race walk on thin ice our entire lives. Tell me, can we ever reach the other shore?

"My dear sister, it seems you really were struck stupid. Do you want to take a look at what state I'm in?"

Gu Yuena: "..."

"Ah?" After a long while, she finally raised her head to look at Long Yuan.

"Wait, why are you in a state of divine consciousness?"

"Only just realized?" Long Yuan pulled his hand back and sat down beside her.

"Didn't I cover your escape back then? Later, some complications occurred, and I was sealed within Tang Wulin's body."

"Tang Wulin? Oh, it's him!"

Gu Yuena remembered; this was Na'er's "brother."

"Then what should we do?" she asked instinctively.

"You're asking me? Aren't you the embodiment of the Dragon God's 'wisdom'?"

"Oh, right..." Gu Yuena leaned in closer. "Then let me tell you my plan!"

Long Yuan listened silently as Gu Yuena shared her plan.

"How about it? My plan is brilliant, isn't it? Once it succeeds, I can completely control Douluo Planet!"

Long Yuan: "..."

Well, it seemed he had completely overestimated the intelligence of this silly girl, Gu Yuena.

However, thinking back to the Nine Dragon Kings and the even more "wise" Dragon God from before, he didn't find it all that strange.

Gu Yuena's level was already at a doctoral level among the Dragon Race, who preferred brute force to solve everything.

But looking at the excited Gu Yuena, Long Yuan ultimately didn't have the heart to discourage her. Instead, he patted her on the shoulder. "Go for it! The revival of our Dragon Race depends on you!"

Even if the child was a bit dim, she at least had motivation, so it was better not to dampen her enthusiasm.

At the very least, her early-stage plans had been executed quite well, so he would just let her be.

With him there to back her up, he wasn't afraid of her being tricked by that old schemer, Tang San.

"So, are you having Di Tian and the others come to pick you up tomorrow?"

"Yes, there's no point in staying here any longer. I need to return to the Star Dou Forest first. I've already used my remaining spiritual power to notify them; at their speed, they'll be here by tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Gu Yuena suddenly yawned.

"It seems the fusion still isn't going well. I expect I'll fall into a deep sleep soon; Na'er's influence on me is still too great right now."

"Handle it slowly on your own. But remember, Na'er is still a part of you. If you absorb her by force, it will affect your future recovery."

"I know. I'm actually quite skilled when it comes to spiritual power, you know."

"By the way, if you can, give me a bit of your spiritual power essence?"

Gu Yuena was stunned for a moment. "My seal has completely formed, so I can't do it myself, but you should be able to, since you're currently in a state of divine consciousness."

Gu Yuena didn't object, nor did she even ask what he wanted it for.

Although they spoke of devouring one another, the bond between the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King was profoundly deep at its core. Otherwise, why would the Golden Dragon King have fought the gods of the God Realm alone, just to cover the Silver Dragon King's escape?

After all, they were originally one.

"Mmm... it seems the time has come. You can take the spiritual essence yourself; the seal is still in the stage of autonomous reinforcement."

After saying this, she closed her eyes.

When she opened them again, those large purple eyes clearly lacked the luster they had just a moment ago, replaced by a hint of confusion. Evidently, Na'er had not yet fully recovered from the daze of regaining her memories.

"Big brother..."

Seeing Long Yuan, Na'er seemed to find her anchor and threw herself into his arms.

"It's alright, Na'er. You should be happy that you've regained your memories, shouldn't you?"

A long while later, Long Yuan left Na'er's room. After his tireless efforts, he had finally managed to coax the little one to sleep.

Looking at the small silver orb glowing with seven-colored light in his hand, Long Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

"Success!"
