The Silver Dragon King's consciousness sank into her body, reaching the depths of her sea of consciousness.
Her sea of consciousness was a vast silver space.
Boundless, with stars twinkling here and there.
In the void,
the phantoms of the nine elements—water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, space, creation, and destruction—weaved and flowed together,
in perfect order,
like a scene from the world's creation.
But one thing
was utterly out of place!
The Sea God's imprint.
A tiny Sea God Trident.
It radiated a faint golden glow.
As if sensing the Silver Dragon King's arrival,
the Sea God Trident trembled slightly,
and before long,
a figure took shape.
It was Tang San!
At that moment,
Tang San was deep within the sea of consciousness,
not yet Old Tang, whose power and memories had been stripped away layer by layer by the Silver Dragon King's seal,
so he recognized her at first sight:
"Silver Dragon King, why are you in my daughter's sea of consciousness?"
The Silver Dragon King didn't indulge Tang San in the slightest.
A mocking smile curled her lips.
Her tone was lazy,
yet sharp as a blade,
piercing the deepest doubts in Tang San's heart. "Tang San, do you really not know whether you can have a daughter?"
Tang San's expression immediately darkened. "What do you mean?"
"Nothing in particular! Maybe I mean exactly what you think I mean! If you can't figure out what I mean, but still want me to spell out what I mean, how can you have the nerve!"
The Silver Dragon King spread her hands, looking utterly innocent.
But after that string of "means,"
her laughter could no longer be contained, echoing through the sea of consciousness!
She'd realized that talking this way was too much fun.
Just let the other person guess!
If they couldn't figure it out, they'd fret. It felt awful.
If they did figure out it was an insult, it felt even worse!
Faced with the Silver Dragon King's mockery,
Tang San's expression darkened like iron.
Divine power surged around him,
his killing intent chilling.
In his heart,
the Silver Dragon King had earned a death sentence!
But was the Silver Dragon King afraid?
If not for that sneak attack by Asura God's sword back then,
Tang San wouldn't even have been worthy of putting shoes on her feet!
"A mere wisp of divine consciousness, and you dare act so viciously?"
The Silver Dragon King sneered,
raising her jade-white hand.
A dazzling silver light suddenly burst from her fingertip,
shooting straight toward that wisp of Tang San's divine consciousness.
This move had no name.
If it absolutely needed one,
then call it Extinguishing Three Fingers!
There was no suspense.
One move sent Tang San flying ten thousand miles.
He'd been swaggering just moments ago,
but now he was nearly transparent, on the verge of vanishing!
"You... you've earned a death sentence! My true body will return one day, and then you'll die without a burial place!"
Tang San glared viciously at the Silver Dragon King, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
But the Silver Dragon King couldn't be bothered to look at him.
She struck again with a finger.
Tang San's divine consciousness instantly crumbled,
without leaving behind even a single fragment!
In her sea of consciousness,
she was the Creator God.
How could she possibly lose?
"So that's it? You took care of him already?"
Lu Chuan looked at Tang Wuyue, who had just opened her eyes again—or rather, the Silver Dragon King—and asked in disbelief.
After all,
although Tang San was called Little Scumbag,
he wasn't weak in battle.
From the moment the Silver Dragon King entered the sea of consciousness to the end,
not even a quarter of an hour had passed.
The goji berry tea he'd brewed was still hot!
"Of course. It was only a wisp of divine consciousness, not his true body. And even if his true body had come, in a one-on-one fight, I could kill him as easily as a chicken!"
The Silver Dragon King snorted disdainfully.
Lu Chuan didn't doubt her for a second.
Back then,
this woman before him
had turned around and taken on five opponents at once.
Even now, when he thought about it,
he still thought she was incredibly cool!
Lu Chuan smacked his lips, savoring the memory,
but soon steered the conversation to the question he cared about most.
"So what are you planning to do now? Take over this body and erase Wu Yue's consciousness?"
The Silver Dragon King rolled her eyes at him. Perhaps afraid Lu Chuan had forgotten, she spoke directly in Tang Wuyue's voice:
"Big Brother, are you stupid?
I already told you: Tang Wuyue is me, and I am Tang Wuyue.
We're one and the same!
It's just that when we separated, I sealed my memories and power in my origin!
Now I'm the complete me. Her memories, emotions, and experiences are all part of me.
I won't erase her, just as I won't deny my own past.
You can think of it as me suddenly awakening my past-life wisdom after obtaining my First Soul Ring!"
The Silver Dragon King rattled on with a long explanation.
Lu Chuan hadn't really understood most of it,
but he understood "past-life wisdom"!
As a transmigrator,
he was all too familiar with the term "past-life wisdom"!
"If you'd put it that way from the start, wouldn't I have understood?"
"It's late. Let's go to sleep!"
Lu Chuan yawned
and turned around to go to bed.
Now that he wasn't cultivating,
sleepiness hit him!
But
as soon as he turned, the Silver Dragon King grabbed his sleeve and pulled him back.
"Come take a walk outside with me!"
Lu Chuan froze at her words, confused. "What do you mean?"
The Silver Dragon King lowered her head. "Actually, this consciousness of mine will dissipate before long. So I want you to take a walk with me."
"Why? Didn't you beat Tang San? Are you hurt somewhere? Let me see!"
Lu Chuan immediately grew anxious, reaching for the Silver Dragon King's wrist to check her pulse.
It didn't seem to occur to him at all
that if her sea of consciousness were injured,
checking her pulse wouldn't reveal it.
Seeing him act so foolishly, the Silver Dragon King didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Don't worry, I'm not hurt.
This consciousness of mine was never meant to last.
It's just a precaution in case something unexpected happens.
My true memories are still sealed in my origin.
Only when all the seals are undone
will I remember everything from my past.
However,
each time a seal is undone,
I'll remember some things,
though most of them will be about controlling my power.
So,
until all the seals are undone,
please keep protecting me,
Big Brother!"
The Silver Dragon King smiled sweetly.
Lu Chuan was left stunned.
Suddenly, his chest felt tight.
After tens of thousands of years apart,
they'd been reunited for only a few short hours.
"How much time do you have left?"
"Half an hour, maybe!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
"You're the one who's been dawdling!"
The night was as still as water,
and moonlight spilled into the courtyard,
stretching the two of their shadows long.
Lu Chuan followed the Silver Dragon King as they wandered aimlessly.
He watched her stop now and then to gaze up at the stars,
bend down to smell a night-blooming jasmine,
or point out the koi in the pond.
She didn't act like the Silver Dragon King at all;
she was more like a young girl going outside for the first time.
And the reason,
Lu Chuan knew it too.
After being trapped in the Divine Prison for tens of thousands of years,
she had gone far too long without breathing fresh air
or seeing flowers and plants.
After that battle,
nearly all the divine beasts in the Divine Realm had gone extinct.
Just thinking about it,
Lu Chuan couldn't bear that kind of loneliness!
"Lu Chuan?"
"Mm, I'm here."
"Can you guess why I sealed away my memories of you in the final seal?"
"No idea. I'm no prophet!"
"Hehe, I knew you were too dense to guess.
Because,
I knew I'd meet you sooner or later,
and then..."
Fall in love with you!
