Aeon of Permanence

When they reached the bottom of the Lake of Life, Ye Yun found several great savage beasts blocking the way in a spacious cavern.

When Xiong Jun saw Di Tian return with someone, he shouted in his booming voice.

"Di Tian, why did you bring a human back?"

As he spoke, he even leaned in beside Ye Yun and sniffed him.

"Enough. Move," Di Tian said calmly. "He is the one our lord has been looking for."

The expressions of the savage beasts changed at once. None of them dared to say anything more. They all shifted aside, voluntarily opening up a broad path.

Ye Yun stood where he was, casually sweeping his gaze over the savage beasts before him. This was the first time he had seen the true bodies of the top savage beasts of the Douluo plane up close. To be honest, the impression was not great. Each of them looked bizarre, and they were genuinely ugly.

His gaze soon settled on one slender green figure among them, and he instantly had his answer.

This woman dressed all in green, with an entirely different bearing, was most likely Bi Ji, the Emerald Swan, one of the ten great savage beasts.

Moreover, he could clearly sense that Bi Ji's gaze toward him was very calm, completely different from the curiosity and vigilance of Xiong Jun and the other savage beasts. There was not the slightest hint of scrutiny in it, as if she did not care about his origins at all.

Ye Yun did not think any further. He followed Di Tian through the passage the savage beasts had opened and walked step by step into the barrier at the deepest part of the cavern.

The instant he stepped into the barrier's range, an enormous figure filled his entire field of vision.

It was a massive silver dragon, its whole body gleaming white, its frame majestic and vast, brimming with endless dragon might.

Compared to the gigantic size of this silver dragon, Ye Yun was minuscule standing below, not even as tall as one of her eyelashes. The difference was extreme.

After a moment of silence, the Silver Dragon King slowly opened her tightly shut eyes.

A pair of deep, icy dragon pupils looked down, and in their black depths, Ye Yun's tiny figure was clearly reflected.

A low, majestic dragon cry resounded throughout the entire barrier, carrying ancient vicissitudes and overwhelming pressure as it entered Ye Yun's ears.

"You are a dragonborn from beyond the heavens?"

"You previously declared that you would overthrow the rule of the old gods. Then tell me today, just what confidence are you relying on?

Back then, even the Dragon God was plotted against by them and forced to split into two parts, let alone you, who are still only a hatchling."

With a thought, Ye Yun directly put away all of the Assault Armor on his body. Then he raised his head and looked frankly up at the Silver Dragon King above.

"I will let you experience it for yourself. Do not resist throughout the whole process."

The moment his words fell, Ye Yun held nothing back and directly activated his three core authorities.

[Harmony], [Erudition], [Destruction]

Three terrifying auras, completely different from one another yet equally above the rules of this plane, erupted in an instant. In the blink of an eye, they filled the entire barrier, enveloping the Silver Dragon King as well as Di Tian beside her.

The Silver Dragon King's expression tightened slightly. She clearly sensed a gentle yet domineering power lightly tugging at her divine soul and consciousness.

Though her heart was filled with shock, she did not resist in the slightest. She restrained her instinctive dragon might and wariness, allowing her consciousness to slowly sink.

After an unknown amount of time, the dark field of vision suddenly lit up.

The Silver Dragon King abruptly came back to herself and discovered, to her astonishment, that her consciousness body had actually left the Douluo plane and was now in the endless, vast depths of space.

Her enormous dragon body slowly stretched out and rose upright in the void. She lifted her noble head high and looked toward the end of deep space.

At the edge of the heavens floated three supreme colossal shadows that blotted out the sky and sun, so magnificent they could not be described in words.

Even though she was one of the Dragon God's remaining bodies, a top supreme existence in the world, before these three figures, she was still as insignificant as a newborn soul beast cub. The gap between them was like a heavenly chasm, utterly impossible to cross.

The most oppressive among them was the figure with a human form and a wound on its chest from which golden blood flowed.

That aura, more destructive than Destruction itself, made it impossible to summon even the will to resist.

Di Tian at the side was also badly frightened. He directly returned to his true form, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, and guarded the Silver Dragon King vigilantly.

Forcing down the shock in her heart, the Silver Dragon King lowered her head and looked gravely at Ye Yun. There was no longer any of her previous contempt.

At this moment, there was no trace of the previous calmness or disdain in her eyes, only utter gravity and dread.

"Imbibitor Lunae, who exactly were those three beings just now?" the Silver Dragon King asked in a low voice. Her tone no longer held its earlier questioning edge, and carried a little more solemnity.

Ye Yun shifted slightly, and an invisible force beneath his feet lifted his body slowly into the air. He hovered steadily in midair, just level with the massive dragon head of the Silver Dragon King.

The next second, his [Tuning] ability quietly activated.

His voice was no longer ordinary. It carried a layer of ethereal, weighty resonance, rippling outward in waves and echoing through every corner of the barrier, making the surrounding air tremble faintly.

"The Aeon of [Harmony], the Aeon of [Erudition], the Aeon of [Destruction]."

Ye Yun's gaze was calm, each word clear and imposing.

"They are the true supreme gods from the boundless universe."

"Those false gods in the God Realm, who rely on the rules of this plane to steal authority, have no qualifications whatsoever to be mentioned in the same breath as Them. They are not even worthy of trying to leech off Their prestige."

The Silver Dragon King's heart could not help but heat up, her blazing gaze turning toward those two divine shadows.

One was a purple Aeon with three faces, its form strange and utterly beyond the normal state of living beings.

The other was even more peculiar, its entire body constructed from cold metal machinery, without the slightest trace of flesh and blood.

Stormy waves surged through the Silver Dragon King's heart as thoughts raced through her mind.

These two supreme Aeons were not human in form at all!

Since they were not of the human race, they naturally would not possess humanity's prejudices, much less reject her and the entire soul beast race!

In an instant, all her doubts were suddenly cleared away.

No wonder the Imbibitor Lunae before her had been able to descend silently onto Douluo Planet, avoiding all of the God Realm's surveillance from start to finish without being detected by any deity.

So it was these true cosmic gods who had acted, concealing every trace of his aura and presence for him!

A tremendous ecstasy surged into the Silver Dragon King's heart, and hope that had lain dormant for countless years was reignited once more.

Could it be that... after ten thousand years of silence, after suffering the God Realm's oppression, the soul beast race had finally welcomed a turning point and was about to rise completely?!

All at once, the Path Gap before them, which reflected the starry river, dissipated.

The consciousnesses of Ye Yun, the Silver Dragon King, and Di Tian were instantly pulled out of the vast deep space and returned to the real barrier at the bottom of the Lake of Life.

When Di Tian came back to his senses, his mind was violently shaken, and the ultimate fear and shock still lingered in his heart.

Those three terrifying divine shadows that towered above all things in the deep space just now had already been deeply branded into the depths of his divine soul, impossible to dispel. When he looked at Ye Yun again, his gaze was filled with the utmost awe, without the slightest trace of his initial contempt remaining.

At the same time, silver light suddenly bloomed around the Silver Dragon King.

Brilliant dragon-force radiance flowed across her entire body, and her enormous, boundless dragon form rapidly shrank and transformed. In the blink of an eye, that dragon body vanished, replaced by the figure of a breathtakingly beautiful woman with a graceful, slender form.

The fine dragon scales that had originally covered her body flowed and took shape, finally transforming into a simple, elegant long dress with scale-like patterns that clung to her figure. Its texture was cool and luxurious, perfectly setting off her cold, peerless bearing.
