Zi Ji of the Star Dou Great Forest finally snapped out of her stupor.
She forced herself to suppress the turbulent waves in her heart, staring at the other version of herself before her, and spoke without a hint of courtesy.
"Who... exactly are you! Why do you look exactly like me! Why does your bloodline aura originate from the same source as mine!"
The Zi Ji from the Legend of the Dragon King remained steadily holding Gu An, her expression devoid of even the slightest ripple.
"I am you."
"Or rather, I am you from ten thousand years in the future, a Zi Ji from another Douluo Planet."
"Nonsense!"
"Zi Ji" practically roared, nearly laughing out of pure anger.
What a clumsy excuse!
"What ten thousand years in the future, what other Douluo Planet! I am the last remaining member of the Hell Demon Dragon Clan; I am the only sprout left of this entire lineage!"
"How could you possibly be me!"
She abruptly raised her hand, pointing at Gu An.
"And who is this human brat! Why are you holding him? If you are me, why are you so intimate with a human child!"
"He is my Lord."
Zi Ji's tone was flat, as if she were stating the simplest of facts.
It was in stark contrast to the intense emotional fluctuations of "Zi Ji."
"Lord?"
Hearing this, "Zi Ji" was completely stunned, her pupils shrinking to the size of pinpricks.
She repeated the two words, then her face flushed a deep red as an uncontrollable rage surged from her chest.
"You've lost your mind! Do you even know what you're saying! There is only one Lord of the Soul Beast Clan! That is the Silver Dragon King!"
"Only the Silver Dragon King is worthy of being called Lord! You actually acknowledge a human brat as your Lord? Have you been controlled by some despicable human trick!"
She shrieked almost hysterically, her vertical pupils burning with raging flames.
The pride of the Hell Demon Dragon Clan, the dignity of the Dragon Clan, and the backbone of the Soul Beasts all transformed into flames of fury at this moment!
She was now firmly convinced that the creature before her was absolutely not herself!
How could she ever betray the Lord! To become the pet of a human cub!!
Where was her dignity!
Glancing faintly at the frantic "Zi Ji," Zi Ji's tone remained calm.
She even took a moment to nuzzle Gu An, "I am perfectly clear-headed."
"The Lord is the Lord; this does not conflict with whether or not it is the Silver Dragon King."
"As for being controlled, that is pure nonsense."
"Zi Ji" sneered, knowing that the version of herself before her had clearly gone astray.
She refused to believe that she could ever do such a thing.
Let alone ten thousand years! Even in a hundred thousand years, she would never become like this.
Exhaling a breath of foul air, she decided she would beat some sense into this person.
However, there was still one question in her mind.
"What are you doing in the Far North?"
"I am here to save the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress."
"Heh, heh, heh." "Zi Ji" was speechless. "What kind of nonsense are you spouting!"
"That's complete bull!"
"Do the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress need you to save them? Do they need a human brat to save them!"
She no longer intended to say anything more.
Purple dragon scales began to emerge from beneath her skin, and a violent dragon might radiated from her body.
"Move aside! Your mind has been bewitched by humans. I will kill this human brat right now to wake you up!"
As soon as the words fell, "Zi Ji" stomped her foot, transforming into a purple afterimage as she charged straight toward Gu An!
Her fingers curled into claws, the tips covered in sharp dragon scales, accompanied by a piercing whistle as she tore through the air!
"Hey sister, what does this have to do with me?" Gu An asked, bewildered.
Zi Ji frowned, pulling Gu An tighter into her embrace, preparing to strike.
But before she could move, a jade-green figure had already intercepted the Zi Ji of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Ice Empress had made her move.
Her fist, which looked so petite it was almost cute, slammed unceremoniously into the claw tips of the Star Dou Great Forest's Zi Ji.
The emerald-green icy power and the dark purple dragon power collided with a roar!!
"Boom!!"
The surrounding air was shaken into a visible shockwave, and the ten-thousand-year-old ice layer under their feet directly exploded, sending shattered ice flying.
"Zi Ji" was forced back more than ten steps by this punch, her feet plowing two deep furrows in the ice.
She suddenly raised her head, glaring at the Ice Empress with a mixture of shock and anger.
"Ice Empress! What do you mean by this! This is our Star Dou Great Forest's business, are you from the Far North going to interfere!"
The Ice Empress retracted her fist, interlaced her fingers, and flexed her wrist, producing a series of crisp cracking sounds.
Her pair of emerald-green eyes were filled with displeasure, her chin tilted slightly, and a cold sneer played on her lips.
"What do I mean? I should be asking you what you mean!"
"This is the Far North, my territory, Ice Empress! You, an outsider from the Star Dou Great Forest, dare to come to my turf and start shouting and fighting?"
"And you want to make a move in front of me? Who gave you the guts!"
The Ice Empress took a step forward, and the icy aura emanating from her body suddenly erupted!
The emerald-green light illuminated half the sky.
"Besides, even if there was going to be a fight, it wouldn't be your turn to go first! Do you understand the concept of first come, first served? I haven't even settled my score with that other you yet, why are you cutting in line!"
The merciless words made "Zi Ji" tremble with rage!
However, the collision of that single punch sent a chill down her spine.
Her cultivation was only over two hundred thousand years, while the Ice Empress was a Fierce Beast of over three hundred thousand years, her cultivation surpassing Zi Ji's by nearly a hundred thousand years.
In the home environment of the Far North, with its icy and snowy terrain, she was no match for the Ice Empress!
What's more, there was a sixty-nine-thousand-year-old Snow Empress standing beside her.
She roared with a hint of feigned ferocity.
"Are you from the Far North going to harbor this human and this imposter!"
"Think carefully! If word of today's events gets back to the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian will not let this go!"
"Are you trying to start a war between the Far North and the Star Dou Great Forest!"
"A war? Heh."
The sneer on the Ice Empress's lips deepened.
She tilted her head, looking at Zi Ji from the Star Dou Great Forest with an expression as if she were looking at an idiot.
"Get it straight, you came to my Far North to cause trouble, not the other way around."
"Even if Di Tian wants an explanation, you have no grounds!"
"Zi Ji's" expression turned grim.
She was doing this to help the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress!
Those easily-punctured lies, surely these two wouldn't believe them!
She wanted to retort, but she had to admit that the Ice Empress was right; she was the one who had come to the Far North.
Just as she was at a loss for what to do, the Snow Empress, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
The Snow Empress's pale blue eyes shifted away from Zi Ji of the Star Dou Great Forest, her brows furrowing slightly.
She slowly turned her head and looked behind an ordinary-looking ice hill not far away.
"There really are little bugs hiding." Her voice was clear and cold.
She extended her delicate hand.
Behind the ice hill, Huo Yuhao was holding his breath, enveloped by the mental power of the Sky Dream Ice Worm.
He was curled up into a ball, hiding behind it.
His heart pounded wildly in his chest, making his eardrums buzz.
He never expected that in such a desolate place as the Far North, he would encounter Gu An!
That brat brought by the woman who almost killed Brother Sky Dream in the Star Dou Great Forest!
The guy who crushed him on the Soul Fighting Platform at Shrek Academy!
The enemy of his life!
Huo Yuhao's face was extremely grim, his fists clenching unconsciously.
If the situation weren't so dire, he would have rushed forward to fight Gu An to the death.
"Brother Sky Dream! Brother Sky Dream! What in the world is going on!"
"How is Gu An here! Who are those women! Why are there two women who look exactly the same!"
He desperately called out to the Sky Dream Ice Worm in his sea of consciousness.
However, Sky Dream Ice Worm seemed to have lost its soul, offering him absolutely no response.
Sky Dream Ice Worm was currently cowering in the depths of Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, its two small golden eyes bulging as if they were about to pop out.
Its mind was filled with only a single thought.
Two Zi Jis! How could there be two Hell Demon Dragon King Zi Jis!
It could never be mistaken!
That aura of the Dragon Clan, which had haunted its nightmares for countless years in the Star Dou Great Forest, was unmistakably that of the Hell Demon Dragon King Zi Ji!
But why would two of them appear at the same time!
Could they be twins?
No! The Hell Demon Dragon Clan had long since gone extinct, leaving only a single survivor; where could twins possibly come from!
The next second, the Snow Empress's icy words, "So there really is a little bug hiding here," rang clearly in both their ears.
Huo Yuhao felt as if the blood in his entire body had frozen in an instant.
Before he could even react, an irresistible force enveloped him from all directions!
It felt as if an invisible giant hand had gripped him in its palm and yanked him backward with a violent jerk!
Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Worm both let out a cry of alarm!
Helplessly, they were sent flying toward the center of the clearing.
