Visitors from Another World

Star Dou Great Forest, a forbidden zone of life.

"Di Tian." Hearing the call, a middle-aged man immediately used spatial power to arrive beneath the Lake of Life.

In this space, a gigantic silver dragon lay coiled, her entire body covered in layers of overlapping silver scales. However, near her chest, a hideous scar ran across her body, the edges of the wound wreathed in dark red divine power fluctuations—the handiwork of the Asura God. Even after tens of thousands of years, that power continued to erode her body, preventing the wound from healing. This was the Silver Dragon King.

"My Lord, what are your orders?" The middle-aged man arrived and immediately knelt on one knee before the Silver Dragon King.

The Silver Dragon King spoke to the middle-aged man.

"I have sensed an extremely powerful dragon bloodline. You are to go to the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest yourself to investigate and bring it here."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately replied, "Yes, My Lord."

Then, a spatial ripple occurred, and the middle-aged man departed.

With the man's departure, the space returned to silence. The Silver Dragon King's gaze remained fixed on the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest's outer perimeter, a rare trace of confusion appearing in her vertical pupils.

"This bloodline aura..." Her voice was so low that only she could hear it, "If my perception is correct, it is even more powerful than my own."

She tightened her coiled body slightly, and the scar across her chest sent a sharp throb of pain through her from the subtle movement, causing the dark red divine power fluctuations to flicker a few times. Yet, she paid it no mind, her entire focus drawn by that distant aura.

"But, how can this be?"

Since the fall of the Dragon God, there should no longer be a dragon bloodline in this world higher than her own. She was the Dragon God's other half, inheriting the wisdom of the Dragon God. Aside from the Dragon God and the Golden Dragon King, even the Nine Great Dragon Kings would be naturally suppressed in her presence; this was the underlying logic carved into the dragon bloodline.

Yet, that aura caused her own bloodline to produce an indescribable palpitation.

The Silver Dragon King closed her eyes, forcing all emotions back into the depths of her heart. Everything would have to wait until Di Tian returned.

As time passed, Di Tian drew closer and closer to the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest. The closer he got, the more he felt a powerful bloodline suppression. As the distance closed, that suppression became increasingly distinct.

It was not pressure on the level of soul power, but from the very depths of the bloodline—the instinctive urge to submit that dragons felt when facing a higher-ranking existence. Di Tian could not help but slow his pace, cold sweat even seeping from his temples.

This aura... he had never even felt such a thing from his Lord.

Following the trail of that aura, Di Tian finally found the source. It was a human infant, carved from jade, with soft black hair resting against his forehead, sleeping peacefully beneath a tree. Seven-colored light radiated from his body, flowing slowly like a living thing, illuminating the plants within several feet as if they were in a dream.

The bizarre part was that this was already the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, where various soul beasts roamed frequently. Yet, with this infant as the center, not a single soul beast dared to approach within a hundred-meter radius.

Di Tian held his breath and quietly sensed the surroundings—there were no traces of any soul beast activity, only that aura which made his bloodline tremble, quietly emanating from the infant. He then carefully picked up the human infant and used spatial power to leave the scene.

At the same time, somewhere in the sky, a presence sensed Di Tian taking the human infant away and quietly departed.

Di Tian returned to the Lake of Life and immediately brought the black-haired infant beneath the lake.

The Silver Dragon King felt the aura emanating from the black-haired infant—full of oppression yet strangely intimate—and asked, "Di Tian, what do you think?"

Di Tian pondered for a moment. "My Lord, could this aura be the Dragon God? But you are the Dragon God's other half; how could such a situation arise?"

The Silver Dragon King thought for a while. "Regardless, this dense dragon bloodline cannot be mistaken. From now on, this child is the Young Master of the Star Dou Great Forest. I will personally raise this child myself; we shall see what happens when he grows up. Perhaps this child can lead us back to the God Realm."

Six years later.

Star Dou Great Forest, Mixed Zone.

A Twin Cyclops Giant was running frantically, looking terrified as if it were fleeing for its life. Behind it, a strange soul beast resembling a lion, with four dragon-like claws and a cluster of golden flames beneath each, was in pursuit. It was the Imperial Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. On its back sat a boy with a well-proportioned frame, translucent skin, delicate and relaxed features, clear pitch-black eyes, and a small, straight bridge of the nose. It was the infant from six years ago, Lin Shuo. Lin Shuo had short black hair, though fine, seven-colored glimmers flowed faintly deep within the strands.

Lin Shuo had originally been an ordinary student from Blue Star, but he had transmigrated upon waking from sleep. After growing up, he gave himself the same name he had in his previous life. For these six years, Lin Shuo had been raised personally by the Silver Dragon King in an independent space deep within the Lake of Life. With the complete integration of his memories, he understood that he had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent upon meeting Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena. Through subtle questioning over the years, he also realized he had arrived during the period of The Unrivaled Tang Sect, and based on his investigations, he judged that he was roughly the same age as Huo Yuhao.

Based on his knowledge of the Douluo Continent and Di Tian's accounts of his origins, Lin Shuo guessed that his bloodline was likely inseparable from the Dragon God. However, he would only know for sure once his martial soul awakened.

Just as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was still chasing the Twin Cyclops Giant, a Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff suddenly appeared behind them. It was over five meters long, possessed three heads each over a meter in diameter, and its canine teeth shone with a reddish-gold luster. It was none other than Chi Wang, ranked eighth among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, with a cultivation level exceeding three hundred thousand years.

"Young Master, Imperial Beast, Di Tian has asked us to return so that you may awaken your martial soul," Chi Wang said respectfully.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion glanced at Chi Wang with dissatisfaction, its golden fur shimmering with a brilliant luster under the sunlight, and it stopped in its tracks, its dragon-like hooves treading on golden flames. It looked aggrievedly at Lin Shuo on its back, letting out a few low whimpers in its throat, clearly not having had enough fun yet.

Lin Shuo smiled and reached out to rub the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head, his tone carrying a touch of helpless indulgence. "Alright, alright, I'll play with you after I awaken my martial soul."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion flicked its tail reluctantly, let out a low "fine" from its throat, turned around, and began to trot toward the Lake of Life.

Lin Shuo sat on the back of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, feeling the wind on his face, but his heart was not as calm as his appearance suggested.

Martial soul awakening—this day had finally arrived.

Although he knew he possessed a bloodline related to the Dragon God, he had no idea what kind of martial soul he would awaken. Would it be a powerful dragon martial soul, or something like Tang Wulin or Lan Xuanyu? He wasn't sure. But now, the moment to witness it had finally arrived.
