This Round's MVP is Gu Yuena!

"Huh? It's that serious?"

Xiao Wu knew better than anyone just how formidable Daming and Erming were, having lived alongside them for tens of thousands of years.

The only reason she could reign as the big sister of the entire core area was that these two kings of soul beasts, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, had to address her as Big Sister Xiao Wu!

Xiao Wu had always assumed she was the pinnacle existence within the Star Dou Great Forest.

To think there was something even more powerful than Daming and Erming?

And by the looks of it, they seemed to have known about this for a long time, only keeping it hidden from her and her mother.

Xiao Wu felt a flicker of resentment, but the memory of the suffocating pressure she had just felt forced her to swallow those complaints back down.

"Then that human child from earlier—does he live there too?"

Her range of activity had always been in the vicinity; how could she have never seen him after all this time? He was far too good at hiding!

Could it be that he, like her mother, was a soul beast that had transformed into human form to start over?

The Azure Bull Python shook his massive bovine head. "I have never sensed that lord's presence within the Star Dou Great Forest. He may come from another soul beast habitat."

Given the bloodline suppression that far exceeded even Di Tian's, it was impossible for the Azure Bull Python not to have recognized it.

Huo Yuhao followed behind Di Tian, arriving at the bottom of the Lake of Life.

"A human! And a spirit-type human at that!"

As Huo Yuhao entered the Lake of Life, a familiar voice echoed within his Sea of Spirit.

"He even carries Brother's aura!"

"Little soul master, do you need a soul ring? Brother is a powerful soul beast with nearly a million years of cultivation!"

The voice of the Sky Dream Iceworm from ten thousand years ago sounded urgent and pleasantly surprised, chattering away as he incessantly promoted himself.

"Alright, alright, stop talking!"

The Sky Dream Iceworm currently residing in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit spoke up, cutting off his other self.

Look at how cheap you're acting!

Can you have a little dignity as a million-year soul beast?

The Tian Meng from ten thousand years ago: "!!!"

"Why is there another Brother?!"

Huo Yuhao did not involve himself in the exchange between the two Tian Meng Iceworms; he had already followed Di Tian into another space at the bottom of the Lake of Life.

The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, was healing her wounds within this space, which was isolated from the outside world.

In this space, a giant dragon with a body of pure silver lay coiled.

Beside the dragon sat a cyan-green stone radiating a rich aura of life.

This was the Gold of Life, capable of bringing the dead back to life and regrowing flesh and bone. With Gu Yuena sitting on such a massive piece, she was undoubtedly the wealthiest woman on the Douluo Continent.

"My Lord, this is the lord you asked me to find."

Di Tian did not need to remind her; Gu Yuena had long since sensed the powerful dragon might on Huo Yuhao, as well as a dragon bloodline that was even superior to her own.

The reason she had kept her eyes closed was not to maintain some air of mystery, but because she was contemplating the origin of the dragon bloodline within Huo Yuhao.

The only thing more powerful than her Silver Dragon King bloodline was the fallen Dragon God.

Could it be that the Dragon God had not truly perished, but had managed to preserve a wisp of his divine soul and reincarnated into the Douluo world?

Once he felt the time was right, he would naturally awaken and lead them to conquer the God Realm once more!

However, as Huo Yuhao entered this space, Gu Yuena overturned her previous hypothesis.

She could feel that although Huo Yuhao's dragon bloodline was high, it had no connection to her.

It was only when Di Tian spoke that Gu Yuena snapped out of her mental storm.

"You possess the aura of my dragon kin."

After Gu Yuena finished speaking, her massive dragon body erupted with a burst of silvery-white light.

When the light dissipated, the giant dragon was gone, replaced by a tall, slender young woman.

The girl had beautiful, long, silvery-white hair that reached her ankles, possessing a texture like silver crystal.

Her beauty was peerless, as if she had gathered all the grace of heaven and earth, and her pair of purple eyes were incredibly beautiful, clear, and translucent.

Stunning, breathtaking, enough to shame the moon and eclipse the flowers—all these descriptors for a beauty could be heaped upon her without exaggeration.

Even Huo Yuhao, who came from a later era and considered himself to have seen all the beauties in the world, could not help but sigh in admiration upon seeing Gu Yuena.

Truth be told, setting aside her world-shaking intellect, Gu Yuena was indeed a perfect woman.

"You must be mistaken. I am not of the dragon kin; my second martial soul is simply dragon-type, and both my parents are human."

He had a sinking feeling that Gu Yuena's next sentence would be, "You must shoulder the burden of reviving the soul beast race."

After fusing with the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood, Huo Yuhao had indeed considered improving the plight of the soul beast clan.

However, that was his own personal desire; he did not need others to force it upon him.

"On the Douluo Continent, the emergence of soul beasts and martial souls is due to the influence of the Dragon God's bloodline aura, and many powerful beast martial souls originate from 100,000-year soul beasts that have undergone human transformation."

Gu Yuena did not take Huo Yuhao's explanation to heart.

"After these 100,000-year soul beasts transform, they need to make contact with humans, absorbing and sensing the aura on them, so that they can truly change from soul beasts into humans. During this process, transformed soul beasts easily develop feelings for human soul masters, thereby leaving behind offspring."

"These descendants are more likely to inherit the soul beast's original form as their martial soul."

Huo Yuhao nodded; he knew all of this.

Why was Gu Yuena telling him this?

"Since both soul beasts and martial souls ultimately originate from the Dragon God's bloodline, even if the soul beasts and martial souls of the future experience bloodline atavism, their bloodline will never surpass the Dragon God!"

Gu Yuena stared at Huo Yuhao with burning eyes.

"The Dragon Clan was once the most powerful race. Your ancestors must have been powerhouses from the same era as the Dragon God, or perhaps even earlier, who arrived on the Douluo Continent by accident and left behind their bloodline."

"This also explains why your bloodline strength far exceeds my own."

This was the Silver Dragon King, who had inherited the astonishing wisdom of the Dragon God!

Huo Yuhao was left completely stunned as he listened.

This works too?

He hadn't even said anything yet.

She had even come up with the perfect excuse for why his martial soul had unexpectedly manifested as a dragon!

As expected of you, Silver Dragon King!

The fact that his Ancestral Dragon Spirit came from a drop of essence blood from the Primordial Ancestral Dragon of another world had to be kept secret at all costs.

Since Gu Yuena had already filled in his backstory for him, he could only applaud and give her a thumbs up.

Gu Yuena was the MVP this time!

He, Huo Yuhao, was just a lucky passenger!

While praising her in his heart, Huo Yuhao maintained a look of profound shock and bewilderment on his face.

Not only Huo Yuhao, but even Di Tian was extremely shocked.

Gu Yuena continued her output.

"Not only is your martial soul experiencing atavism, but the bloodline within your body is no longer purely human."

"You may not feel it yourself, but once you summon your martial soul and perform martial soul avatar, the dragon bloodline within you will completely awaken!"
