Oh? So Di Tian, You Don't Think I'm Your Mistress?
Elf Star, deep within the Beast God Forest.
Lin Yuan had assumed that bringing the Little Dragon God would excite the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, who had served the Soul Beast Clan diligently for most of his life, to the point that he would want to kneel before the Little Dragon God on the spot.
He, Little Dragon God, Di Tian, Bi Ji sat around the stone table drinking tea.
As Di Tian excitedly recounted his life's hardships and achievements, he finally uttered the emotional words, "Oh, heavens, how have you treated me so cruelly?"
Then, Lin Yuan aptly mentioned that the Dragon God had gone mad, guiding Di Tian to reveal some secrets.
But who could have imagined!
The Beast God Di Tian actually looked as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
At this moment, Lin Yuan saw Di Tian, one of the only two true dragons remaining in the Soul Beast Realm Beast God Di Tian.
Under his gaze, as if stimulated, dragon scales began to appear on the surface of his magnificent body, and his body also bent slightly, entering the "Spinyback Dragon" state.
The pressure from nine hundred thousand years of cultivation and the impending tribulation washed over us.
Lin Yuan: 'Why are you breathing on it?'
'However, the aura of this Heavenly Tribulation is truly unsettling.'
Runes appeared behind Lin Yuan, and the oppressive aura emanating from Di Tian shattered instantly.
"The Divine Position..."
Di Tian's golden eyes were fixed on Lin Yuan, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Lin Yuan looked at Di Tian, and Di Tian looked at Lin Yuan. Their eyes met, and the two remained silent for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yuan suddenly smiled.
'Are they going to make a move?' Di Tian's eyes were full of vigilance.
However, considering Lin Yuan's importance to the Federation, coupled with the dual deterrent effect of that special aura, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King dared not make any move for the time being.
To everyone's surprise, Lin Yuan simply pulled out the stone chair next to him, sat down, and pointed to the round stool opposite him, saying:
"Please sit down, don't be shy, I am not an enemy."
"But you're not a friend either, are you?"
Despite Lin Yuan's overtures, Di Tian remained vigilant and uneasy.
"It depends on how you interpret it. After all, this is the first time you and I have met. Unless we have lustful thoughts at first sight, we can't really be considered friends."
At this point, Lin Yuan's gentle voice revealed sincerity. "To be honest, being able to uphold the will of the Dragon God and willingly fall from the Divine Realm to the mortal world is a truly moving spirit. If possible, I still hope that we can become friends."
At that moment, Di Tian's image was reflected in Lin Yuan's eyes. Di Tian stared at Lin Yuan's eyes, momentarily stunned, but quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice:
"Was the former Lord so easily deceived by you?"
'Deceived?'
Lin Yuan wasn't angry at Di Tian's attitude; instead, he laughed.
So, it seems Di Tian really knows a lot of good things.
Lin Yuan lifted his chin, a natural smile curving his lips:
"Are you referring to the Old Dragon God or the Little Dragon God?"
Di Tian remained silent, his apprehension deepening.
Seeing that Di Tian remained silent, Lin Yuan pointed to the stone bench opposite him:
"It seems to be both, but don't worry, we'll have plenty of time to talk. Please have a seat. As I said, I have no hostility towards you."
At this point, Lin Yuan's voice was filled with emotion:
"The fall of the Dragon God must have been incredibly painful for you. What a magnificent God Dragon Realm was, ruling over more than a dozen star systems, just one step away from becoming a true Divine Star, which is why Soul Beast were unable to become gods later on."
After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Di Tian's expression finally changed.
This was the resentment and stubbornness buried deep in his heart. If it were Soul Beast that dared to anger him, it would have already lashed out with its tail.
But... he simply couldn't muster any emotion towards the person before him.
For Di Tian, this was an existence that lived in the same era as him, or even more ancient.
After much deliberation, Di Tian's doubts about the Divine Realm ultimately overcame his wariness, and he sensed that Lin Yuan showed no hostility whatsoever.
He sighed and sat down at Lin Yuan's table.
"That's more like it. Try some of my tea."
Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
He took out the tea leaves from the Life Tree from his Storage Soul Tool, then skillfully arranged the tea set, used the Universal Pull to draw the lake water from the side, and continuously accelerated and spun it in front of Lin Yuan, like a small whirlpool.
A dozen seconds later, the water began to steam. Lin Yuan placed it in the teapot, and after the tea had been properly brewed, he repeated the action of fetching water. The rich aroma of tea wafted over, dissolving the tense atmosphere.
Lin Yuan served the tea as if having a heart-to-heart talk with an old friend:
"Don't you want to say anything about the Old Dragon God? After all, he was the pillar of your spirit that allowed you to survive for so many years."
"May I ask you a question? Consider this a deal. If you have any questions for Di Tian, Di Tian can answer them."
Instead of answering, Di Tian asked a question, staring intently at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan took a small sip of his tea, shook his head, and smiled:
"This isn't about any deal; it's just a normal conversation. Even if you don't tell me anything, I'll still tell you what you want to know."
"Good."
Di Tian nodded, then took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly:
"Back then, everything was clearly going well, so why did you suddenly go mad?"
"Because there is Time Dragon King and Space Dragon King."
Lin Yuan's voice was calm.
"Those two Dragon King?!" Di Tian's golden eyes narrowed.
"Yes, at the last moment, they betrayed the Dragon God, causing Dragon God to kill the Dragon Clan Crown Prince, which enraged the Dragon God and caused him to lose control."
Di Tian couldn't believe it and subconsciously said:
"Why are they so loyal to the Lord!"
Have you ever heard of the Cosmic Will?
"Cosmic Will?" Di Tian frowned, puzzled. "Isn't that called the Cosmic Law?"
Lin Yuan:...
Oh no, I remembered the name wrong.
Fortunately, Di Tian didn't dwell too much on the name issue and started to imagine it, muttering to himself:
"Therefore, the Cosmic Law interfered with the two Dragon King of Time and Space. At the crucial moment of the ritual, they used every means to make the Lord kill the Crown Prince. The Dragon God went mad as a result. Meanwhile, the human gods, who had long wanted to rebel against the Lord, united at this moment and took the opportunity to defeat the Lord."
"And then establish the rule that Soul Beast cannot become gods?"
Lin Yuan:...
Looking into Di Tian's inquisitive little golden eyes, Lin Yuan shook his head, not wanting to pique his interest.
"No, the Dragon God who was in the ceremony at the time was extremely powerful, so powerful that all the gods in the entire God Dragon Realm combined were no match for him. When he briefly regained his senses, he was overwhelmed with grief over the fall of the Dragon God Dragon Clan and the death of the Dragon God Prince, so he relinquished his power of law enforcement to the Asura God and voluntarily allowed himself to be killed by the Asura God."
"The fact that Soul Beast cannot become gods is Divine Oracle personally issued by the Dragon God."
Rumble!
Di Tian's body trembled, and he suddenly stood up:
"Why?!"
Lin Yuan's words completely shattered his Dao heart. He thought that the rule that Soul Beast could not become gods was established by the gods in the Divine Realm, but who would have thought it was the Dragon God!
Lin Yuan looked at Di Tian and shook his head:
"Because he worried that if Soul Beast cultivated into gods and entered the Divine Realm, they would be jointly slaughtered by gods from other races, so he cut off the possibility of Soul Beast becoming gods unless the next Dragon God was born."
At this point, Lin Yuan gave Di Tian a strange look, recalling the plight of the Douluo II and Douluo III Soul Beast:
"However, I think the Dragon God might be overthinking things. You're all too young to even reach godhood before you're on the verge of extinction."
"Of course, it's also possible that the Dragon God was worried about future changes, so the Asura God relinquished his inheritance to the next Asura God. The next Asura God believed that the Soul Beast were too powerful and might become the next Dragon God, thus overturning the order of the Divine Realm and setting a death sentence for the Soul Beast. That's why he did it this way."
Di Tian's face immediately darkened.
The New Asura God was irrelevant to Di Tian; what mattered was what he had said earlier: what did it mean that his race was about to be wiped out before he could even become a god?
Di Tian felt insulted.
"That's because humans use Soul Tool!"
"Yes, you're right."
Lin Yuan didn't want to continue arguing with Di Tian about this issue. After resolving the doubts that had been lingering in Di Tian's heart for most of his life, he looked at Di Tian for a long time and asked:
Why were you so agitated when you saw me just now?
"Don't you find that ironic?" Di Tian frowned slightly as he looked at Lin Yuan's sharply defined eyebrows.
'Um?'
Lin Yuan was taken aback.
Why should I find it ironic?
"The Di Tian was fortunate enough to serve the Dragon God during his childhood, receiving instruction from the Dragon God and having the privilege of meeting His Majesty."
After saying this, Di Tian paused slightly:
"From the moment Di Tian served the Venerable Lord and met the Mistress, he sensed an extremely special aura. Di Tian initially thought it was the aura of the Venerable Lord and the Mistress, with the Mistress possessing the strongest aura. However, even when the Venerable Lord perished, that aura, though faint, still remained."
"Di Tian was also fortunate enough to sense that aura. Under that aura, Di Tian's desire to become stronger was constantly increasing. It was for this reason that the Venerable Lord regarded Di Tian as a student and instructed Di Tian to strictly keep this secret."
"Di Tian originally thought that aura was a gift from the Venerable Lord, but when the Venerable Lord went mad, that aura still existed. In Di Tian's view, that aura seemed to be the culprit behind the Venerable Lord's madness. However, after the Venerable Lord's fall, the moment Di Tian was cast down from the Divine Realm, that aura also dissipated. From that moment on, Di Tian believed that the culprit behind the scenes was probably not you."
Lin Yuan's smile grew even brighter.
"Oh, so you don't consider me your mistress?"
"No." Di Tian shook his head and said seriously, "Bloodlines are interconnected, especially the bloodlines of the Dragon Clan. Even if the matriarch's power is very ordinary, Di Tian can still sense it."
"Very good, what's next?"
"Next, Di Tian didn't understand."
Under Lin Yuan's curious gaze, Di Tian remained silent for a long time before shaking his head:
"To be frank, although Di Tian was taught by the Dragon God and was promised by the Lord as his future chief guard, at that time Di Tian was just a small dragon under the Dark Dragon King. What could Di Tian possibly know about the real secrets?" (Some adjustments have been made to Di Tian's character settings in the Douluo II and Douluo IV Douluo III the novel.)
"Therefore, Di Tian would also like to ask, if what you say is true, what role did you play in the God Dragon Realm?"
Lin Yuan looked at Di Tian, who was full of curiosity, and spread his hands:
"Okay, I'll stop pretending. Actually, I am the Time Dragon King."
Di Tian:?!
Di Tian's body trembled, and black dragon scales instantly appeared.
Di Tian exhaled!
