Di Tian Reborn! Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King? No, I am the Dragon Guard of the Void!

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Battle Through the Heavens Plane, deep within the Void Lightning Pool, East Dragon Island.

This was the forbidden ground of the Ancient Void Dragon clan, a realm of destruction where countless bolts of lightning and void storms intertwined.

Even a Dou Zun powerhouse would be blasted into nothingness by the silver lightning here if they were the least bit careless.

Yet, beside a black altar at the edge of the lightning pool, Di Tian, the Beast God who once shook the Douluo Continent, was kneeling there, stark naked.

His body, once as sturdy as an iron tower, was trembling violently.

It was not from fear, but from excitement!

Floating before him was a pool of deep purple liquid.

The pool was small, only ten meters in diameter, but every drop of liquid seemed to contain a roaring miniature dragon, radiating a terrifying pressure that could shatter space itself.

This was the Dragon Transformation Pool, used by the Ancient Void Dragon clan to cleanse the birth toxins from their newborns and strengthen their physiques.

Although it was only a diluted version from the outer perimeter, it was more than enough for Di Tian.

"Hey, little black lizard."

At this moment, an Ancient Void Dragon guard responsible for watching the Dragon Transformation Pool held a toothpick made from the bone of some unknown divine beast, picking his teeth while glancing at Di Tian nonchalantly. "Consider yourself lucky. The Supreme Elder saw how clean you licked that plate earlier and specifically ordered that you be allowed to soak in here."

"Although this is just waste water used for the defective hatchlings of our clan, for a low-dimensional creature like you, it is a fortune sufficient to defy the heavens and change your fate."

"Remember, once you go in, hold on for as long as you can."

"If you can't hold on and die, just rot inside and serve as fertilizer. Don't expect me to fish you out."

"Yes! Yes! Thank you, My Lord! Thank you, Supreme Elder!"

Di Tian knocked his head against the ground with a loud thud, the fanaticism in his eyes nearly overflowing.

Waste water?

Used for defective hatchlings?

Di Tian looked at the pool of purple liquid, feeling the vast, ocean-like dragon aura within—a power ten thousand times purer than that of the Dragon God from his own time—and felt an urge to laugh.

Even if the Dragon God were resurrected, if he saw this pool of water, he would likely jump in without a moment's hesitation.

What Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King? What Beast God? In front of this pool, I was nothing but a mud loach!

"Splash!"

Di Tian no longer hesitated; he leaped, diving straight into the boiling purple pool!

"ROAR!!"

The moment he entered the water, a shrill, agonizing dragon cry echoed across the edge of the lightning pool!

Pain!

It was excruciating!

The purple liquid seemed to possess a consciousness of its own, instantly surging through Di Tian's pores and orifices, drilling madly into his body!

It was not merely an infusion of energy, but a violent, genetic-level rewriting and cleansing!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Soon, Di Tian watched in horror as his proud, ultimate darkness-attribute dragon scales began to crack and shatter like brittle biscuits the moment they touched the liquid!

Large patches of black scales, mixed with flesh and blood, fell into the pool and were instantly decomposed into nothingness.

"No, my scales, my defense—"

Di Tian instinctively tried to struggle, but the next second, an even more terrifying vitality erupted from the depths of his bone marrow!

Sizzle!

Where the old scales had fallen away, a new layer of dense, fine scales with a faint purple-gold luster began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye!

These newborn scales were no longer purely black, but a deep, profound purple-gold!

Each scale was naturally branded with twisted void runes, as if born with the ability to command space itself!

"AAAAAAH!!"

Di Tian thrashed in the pool as his body underwent a heaven-shaking transformation.

His bones were being restructured!

His originally bulky, Western-style dragon skeleton began to compress under the pressure of the pool, becoming slender and agile, evolving toward the form of an Eastern Divine Dragon!

His dragon horns regenerated!

The rough black horns atop his head snapped off, replaced by a pair of crystalline, translucent Void Dragon Horns that looked as if they had been carved from amethyst!

Around the horns, tiny spatial rifts flickered in and out of existence!

His bloodline was being purified!

The most important thing was his bloodline!

That originally mottled Golden-Eyed Black Dragon bloodline, which belonged to the Douluo Plane, was being forcibly devoured and assimilated by this overbearing Ancient Void Dragon aura!

The sensation was as if his blood had been drained dry and replaced with divine blood!

"ROAR!!"

As time passed, Di Tian's screams gradually transformed into a roar filled with majesty and power.

Nine hundred and ninety thousand years—

One million years!

One million one hundred thousand years!

One million five hundred thousand years!

Following that, his aura broke through the limits of all soul beasts on the Douluo Continent like a hot knife through butter!

What Deep Sea Demonic Whale King?

What Dragon God?

In front of the current Di Tian, they were not even worth a glance!

Rumble!!

Three hours later, the water in the Dragon Transformation Pool turned dull and lusterless; all its essence had been completely absorbed by Di Tian.

Splash! Immediately after, a slender, vigorous figure radiating purple-gold divine light burst out of the water and hovered in the void!

Di Tian had completely changed in appearance.

In his humanoid form, his height had increased to three meters, and his long hair had turned purple-gold, dancing wildly in the wind.

His original black armor was gone, replaced by a set of Void Dragon Armor manifested from his own scales!

His eyes were no longer golden, but two deep, swirling purple vortices.

A single glance seemed capable of sucking a person's soul into the endless void to be banished!

He raised his hand and squeezed it gently.

Crack!

The space in his palm was crushed into shards!

Is this what power feels like?

Feeling the ocean-like power surging within his body, the thrill of controlling space and viewing the world as nothingness made him want to throw his head back and howl at the sky.

According to this world's classification, his current strength had already reached a five-star Dou Zong!

Although he was still at the bottom of the Ancient Void Dragon clan, on the Douluo Continent—

"I could take on ten thousand of my former self."

"Dragon God? Heh—"

A cold, disdainful sneer curled the corners of Di Tian's mouth.

His current bloodline, even though it only possessed a thin trace of Ancient Void Dragon blood, crushed the so-called Dragon God bloodline in terms of rank!

It was a difference in dimensions!

"Yo, not bad."

Just then, the Ancient Void Dragon guard watching over the Dragon Transformation Pool glanced at the hovering Di Tian with some surprise: "You didn't die? And you even evolved Void Dragon scales?"

"It seems this little lizard has quite a strong will to survive."

Hearing the guard's voice, Di Tian, who had just felt invincible, instantly retracted all his aura.

Whoosh!

His figure flashed, landing on the ground instantly. Without hesitation, he knelt on one knee and offered the most flattering smile to the guard, who only possessed the strength of a peak Dou Zong: "Many thanks for your cultivation, My Lord!"

"If not for your guidance, how could I have achieved such fortune today!"

"I feel filled with power and can't wait to go through fire and water for the Ancient Void Dragon clan!"

The guard nodded in satisfaction and tossed a black iron token to Di Tian: "Alright, enough with the flattery."

"Since you've evolved successfully, you've barely managed to move beyond the category of a lizard and can be considered a Dragon Guard Reservist of our clan."

"Take this token; from now on, you are a member of the East Dragon Island Patrol."

"Your main task is to clear out the trash on the periphery of the Void Lightning Pool and, incidentally, feed the mounts of the elders."

Patrolling? Feeding?

If this were in the past, anyone who dared to ask the Beast God Di Tian to do such things would have been annihilated by a beast tide he unleashed.

But now—

Di Tian received the black iron token with both hands as if it were a precious treasure, trembling with excitement: "Yes!! I guarantee the mission will be completed!!"

"I will definitely feed the elders' mounts until they are plump and sturdy!"

"I am the most loyal watchdog of the Ancient Void Dragon clan!"

Di Tian stood up, carefully hung the token at his waist, and walked toward his post with his head held high and chest puffed out.

His back was no longer slumped or lost; instead, it was filled with an unprecedented sense of glory.

In his view, being a watchdog for the Ancient Void Dragons was ten thousand times better than being some Beast God on the Douluo Continent!

Because the dogs here could actually eat dragon meat, drink divine blood, and cultivate divine arts!

"Lord Gu Yuena—"

As he patrolled, Di Tian muttered silently in his heart, "If you see this, please don't blame your subordinate for having no backbone."

"Once I make something of myself here and become an official Dragon Guard, I'll just steal some leftover feed from the elders' mounts and bring it back—"

"Our Star Dou Forest will be able to conquer the God Realm!"

Thinking of this, Di Tian touched his newly grown Void Dragon Horn, a blissful and longing silly grin spreading across his face.

How could this be exile?

This was clearly an overseas study program!

Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent.

Star Dou Forest, Lake of Life.

The Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena stood by the lake, her violet eyes—usually filled with wisdom and majesty—now appearing unfocused as she stared blankly at the light screen. On it, a stranger clad in Purple Gold Void Dragon Armor crushed space with a casual flick of his hand.

That was Di Tian.

That was the captain of the Black Dragon Guard who had followed her for hundreds of thousands of years and obeyed her every command.

But the aura radiating from him now, even through the light screen, made the Silver Dragon King bloodline within Gu Yuena wail in distress!

It was the instinctive fear and submission of a subordinate facing a superior!

"Is that the power of the void—"

Gu Yuena's voice trembled, and two lines of clear tears slid down her exquisite face. "Every scale on his body contains spatial laws even more profound than those of the Dragon God."

"And his horns—could those be the legendary Ancestral Dragon Horns that can pierce the heavens?"

"And all of this happened after soaking in that discarded pool for only three hours."

"He has surpassed the Dragon God?"

"Surpassed the goal our soul beast race has pursued for hundreds of millions of years?"

"Thump!"

The next second, Gu Yuena's knees went weak, and she collapsed powerlessly onto the grass.

Her lifelong mission had been to resurrect the Dragon God and lead the soul beasts to counterattack the God Realm.

For this, she had endured, she had schemed, and she had walked on thin ice.

But now, reality had dealt her a resounding slap in the face.

"I have been working so hard to resurrect the Dragon God—"

"Yet Di Tian simply went to that world to act as a gatekeeper and took a bath in their discarded washroom."

"And he became stronger than the Dragon God?"

"Then what was the point of all my years of persistence?"

"In the eyes of the Ancient Void Dragon clan, is the blood-stained history of our soul beast race just a group of ants arguing over who moved a larger grain of rice?"

"Ahhhhhhh!!"

Gu Yuena clutched the collar at her chest and let out a cry of despair.

She was in agony.

Beside the Lake of Life, the reactions of the other Great Beast Kings were even more pathetic.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Xiong Jun.

He had always been the most defiant toward Di Tian, constantly dreaming of the day he could challenge the Beast God's status.

At this moment, watching the purple-haired man on the screen who could tear through the void with a single glare, he was scared to the point of wetting himself.

He literally wet himself.

A pungent, foul odor spread by the lake, but he couldn't care less.

"Is, is this still that black dragon?"

Xiong Jun lay on the ground, his massive body trembling like a sieve. "That aura... I feel like if he just blew a breath, I'd be gone—"

"I actually wanted to challenge him before?"

"Was I tired of living?!"

Beside him, the three heads of the Scarlet King simultaneously drooled with envy, saliva pooling on the ground: "Discarded pool water, that was discarded pool water!"

"To be able to evolve after just washing up, and to become this handsome—"

"I want to go too!"

"I want to feed the mount of that so-called elder too!"

"I'm a dog, I was a dog to begin with! I'm the most suitable one to go feed the animals!!"

Scarlet King frantically clawed at the dirt on the ground, wishing he could dig a hole and tunnel his way into the Battle Through the Heavens Plane.

Meanwhile, King of Ten Thousand Monsters stared at the black iron token at Di Tian's waist, his eyes flickering with a near-pathological yearning. "Reserve Dragon Guard."

"Just a reserve guard who watches the gate, and he already possesses such power."

"If one performs well there and becomes a full member, wouldn't that mean they could rule the universe?"

"Boss Di Tian, you must make something of yourself!"

"When you strike it rich, please don't forget to pack up some of that discarded pool water; even if it's foot-washing water, we'll drink it!"

At this moment, the fierce beasts of the Star Dou Forest no longer held any regard for the so-called dignity of the Beast God.

They had only one common dream: to go to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and be a dog!

Douluo Continent, Demon Whale Sea Area.

"Roar!"

The ocean roared, and giant waves surged to the heavens!

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's body, as massive as an island, was frantically ramming into the underwater mountain ranges, triggering a terrifying tsunami.

Jealousy!

At this very moment, the heart of this ocean overlord was filled with nothing but a jealousy that threatened to burn him to ashes!

"Why?!"

"Why is it like this!!"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's single eye was bloodshot, his voice booming across the seabed: "This King has cultivated for nine hundred and ninety thousand years!"

"I have devoured countless living beings!"

"I am only one step away from turning into a dragon!!"

"But that step is like a chasm, no matter how hard I try, I cannot cross it!!"

"And he, Di Tian—by what right?"

"He just went to lick a plate, just went to take a bath!"

"And he turned into a dragon?"

"And it's that terrifying Ancient Void Dragon!"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King looked at his own bloated, fatty flesh, then looked at Di Tian's long, lithe, and aesthetically perfect purple-gold dragon body.

He felt as if his million years of cultivation had been wasted on a dog!

"Unfair, the Heavenly Dao is unfair!"

"If the one who went to serve the plates had been me, if the one who went to feed the mount had been me—"

"I could have turned into a dragon too!"

"I could have become a god too!!"

"I don't want this million years of cultivation anymore!"

"I don't want this empty title of ocean overlord anymore!!"

"Lord of the Heavenly Palace, I beg you, please look at me!"

"I have plenty of meat, I can do manual labor! I can even spray water to perform shows!"
