People's joys and sorrows were never shared.
When Lu Chuan returned to his room after being scolded,
the little girl had already fallen asleep and gone to meet Duke Zhou.
"She used to sneak around, but now she doesn't even bother hiding it. They should at least check whether there's enough room in the house."
Lying on the bed, Lu Chuan couldn't help grumbling.
It wasn't that he thought their home was too small,
but the fact was,
after three years,
he and his sister were still sharing a room.
Not that he minded.
At first,
he and his sister had shared a bed,
and back then, every day he got to hold the little girl's soft, fragrant body,
so he slept soundly every night.
But as they gradually grew older,
Tang Ziran had separated them, considering that they were a boy and a girl.
They'd added another bed to the room and hung up a curtain.
But judging by how frequently Tang Ziran had been tending the fields lately,
Lu Chuan figured
it wouldn't be long
before they'd have to add another bed and hang up another curtain.
Fortunately, Lu Chuan had already bought a house in Eastsea City.
Four bedrooms and a living room.
One room for his parents,
one for him,
one for Wu Yue,
and the last one was just right for his unborn little brother or sister.
After resting for a while,
he shook off the fatigue brought on by Tang Ziran's iron-fist discipline,
then got up and resumed cultivating.
He'd just unlocked one-tenth of his power,
so he needed to adapt to it and master it as quickly as possible.
Besides that,
he couldn't let his comprehension of the Great Path of Creation stagnate.
If he wanted to go further down this path,
he couldn't rely solely on the Origin of the Silver Dragon King within Wu Yue.
He also needed to comprehend it himself!
Sitting cross-legged,
Lu Chuan quickly entered a meditative state.
Moonlight flowed like water,
its clear radiance spilling over every household,
as the whole city sank into slumber.
And yet,
for some unknown reason,
Tang Wuyue, who had been fast asleep, suddenly opened her eyes.
She slowly sat up,
her gaze gradually filling with life where it had first been vacant.
She seemed dazed, as if she'd just woken up,
but there was something different about her.
Because
even in such a calm state,
her eyes held an air of nobility and authority,
the bearing of one who looked down upon the world,
as if everything beneath the heavens were ants in her eyes!
At that moment, Lu Chuan was still immersed in cultivation,
completely unaware of Tang Wuyue's strange behavior.
The Golden Dragon King's bloodline power swirled around him.
Golden light surged through his meridians like flowing water!
Then,
Tang Wuyue suddenly turned her head,
her gaze piercing through the barely visible curtain
to look at him.
Only then did he snap to attention!
"Who's there?"
Lu Chuan's heart tightened.
The Golden Dragon King Bloodline within him erupted in an instant,
golden shock waves spreading out like solid matter,
and he entered a battle stance in the blink of an eye!
But
when he saw who that gaze belonged to,
he froze.
Tens of thousands of years of longing—
at last, it seemed his wish had come true!
The Silver Dragon King wasn't dead!
She had awakened!
"Is that you?"
Lu Chuan asked tentatively.
Tang Wuyue's lips curved into a faint smile.
"If it's not me, who else could it be? It's been a long time, Golden Dragon King!"
The Silver Dragon King's voice was soft,
so soft that Lu Chuan wondered if he was imagining it.
And yet it was so weighty
that just hearing her voice made his heart pound wildly!
"I knew it... I knew it. You were so clever, there was no way you'd die. You had to have left yourself a way out!"
"That kid Di Tian didn't believe me. He cried buckets and made me look bad!"
"Is that so? How is he doing now?" The Silver Dragon King covered her mouth and chuckled.
Lu Chuan grinned. "He's pretty impressive now. He's been titled the Beast God!"
"Beast God?" The Silver Dragon King raised an eyebrow, amusement flashing in her eyes. "Looks like that kid has made quite a bit of progress while I was gone."
Lu Chuan snorted. "He has made progress, but his brain still doesn't work right. He hasn't managed to do a single thing I taught him!"
"He's still a child. Be a little more patient with him," the Silver Dragon King said with a smile.
Lu Chuan rolled his eyes. "I've already been plenty patient. If it were up to you, you'd have exiled him to some barren wasteland by now."
"Enough about him. Tell me, what's your situation now? You're not just a wisp of divine consciousness possessing Tang San's daughter, are you?"
" Tang San's daughter? He has a daughter?" The Silver Dragon King nearly burst out laughing at that.
Lu Chuan stared at her in confusion. "Of course he does. The girl you're possessing is his second daughter!"
"Second daughter?"
At that, the Silver Dragon King
laughed even harder,
tears welling in the corners of her eyes.
"Little Gold, it seems you still don't know. That fellow Tang San can hardly be called a man!"
"His manhood was destroyed. Although he repaired it with divine power, it doesn't work anymore! I helped him both times he had a child!"
"Destroyed? Didn't Di Tian only destroy one Demon Pill? And how did you help him? Don't tell me... women can have children with women in this world?"
Lu Chuan was utterly baffled.
Seeing him like that,
the Silver Dragon King laughed so hard her stomach hurt.
It took her a good while to catch her breath
and wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"What are you thinking? How could I possibly be into women?"
She gave Lu Chuan an exasperated glare. "Have you forgotten that I possess the Godhead of Creation?"
"Then how exactly did you do it?"
Lu Chuan asked humbly.
He'd been studying the Great Path of Creation lately,
and now that he had an expert in the Path of Creation right here,
he had to seize the chance to learn from her!
The Silver Dragon King waved a hand and answered casually:
"It was nothing much. After the little rabbit by Tang San's side ascended to the Divine Realm, I summoned her to the Divine Prison with secret words that only Soul Beasts could hear, then did a little research."
"But Tang San was awfully suspicious. I don't know whether he realized I'd tampered with things or simply knew he couldn't have children, but he actually split his daughter's soul! I can't understand how someone like that could be a father!"
Lu Chuan froze. "You mean Tang Wutong was created by you?"
The Silver Dragon King blinked. "Yes. It was simple. The little rabbit's genes, the hammer's genes, and my bloodline. Tang Wutong—you know her name. Does that mean you've met her? If so, did you ever wonder why she could use the Silver Dragon Spear?"
With the Silver Dragon King's reminder,
Lu Chuan felt as if a sudden enlightenment had struck him,
and everything finally fell into place!
At the time, he'd wondered
how a human could wield a bloodline divine weapon of the Dragon Clan.
So that was the root of it!
"Then..." Lu Chuan took a deep breath. "Was Tang Wuyue created by you too?"
The Silver Dragon King shook her head. "Not exactly. You could only call it a golden cicada shedding its shell."
"Strictly speaking, Tang Wuyue is me.
"Before the temporal turbulence struck, I used the power of creation to nurture an embryo inside the little rabbit.
"Then I separated my soul from my power.
"My soul entered the embryo and developed within it.
"Meanwhile, when the temporal turbulence erupted, my power seized the chance to escape the Divine Prison and return to my body!"
Lu Chuan was truly astonished by the Silver Dragon King's handiwork. "What if your power hadn't escaped the Divine Prison?"
The Silver Dragon King was certain. "There was no way it wouldn't escape. I'd spent tens of thousands of years finding every weak point in the Divine Prison. All I needed was some chaos!"
"Even without the temporal turbulence, a great war would have broken out in the Divine Realm sooner or later. That stubborn Destruction would never have tolerated a sanctimonious hypocrite like Tang San! My power would still have escaped the Divine Prison!"
Lu Chuan's pupils contracted. "So you'd calculated everything?"
The Silver Dragon King thought for a moment. "Not everything. I thought the Divine Realm wouldn't be swept away by the temporal turbulence, and that I'd have to lie low for tens of thousands more years. I never expected it to end up on Douluo Planet. It was like a dragon returning to the sea!"
"But Tang San really is suspicious. Even with the Divine Realm about to be swept away by the temporal turbulence, he still left behind a wisp of divine consciousness to watch me! So, let's talk later. I need to deal with his divine consciousness first!"
"Do you need my help?" Lu Chuan asked.
Actually,
he'd thought about removing Tang San's divine consciousness himself,
but considering the consequences of failure,
he'd held off.
The Silver Dragon King waved a hand, the corner of her mouth curving with pride. "No need! He's just a newly ascended Divine King. I can crush him with a snap of my fingers!"
