"Master, what kind of magic does this human called Jiang Yan possess to make you so determined?"
Before Na'er, seeing how resolute she was, Di Tian could not help but speak, even as regret and frustration filled his heart.
A nine-year-old human, even if he possessed talent for cultivation, how could he possibly be that terrifying? Still, being human made him easy enough to deal with.
Perhaps he could...
"Brother's strength."
"Is several times greater than mine."
Na'er's expression returned to calm as she looked coldly at Di Tian, who was clearly plotting something. "What?"
Di Tian's eyes widened. Several times stronger than his master—what did that even mean? How could a human possibly reach such a level?
At that thought, the anger in his heart grew even stronger.
What exactly had this man talked his master into believing?
"I'm not joking. The reason I found Brother in the first place was because I was drawn to the bloodline within him. Rather than me being the lord of the beast clan, Brother is the one who truly is."
"Because he..."
"Has the complete Dragon God bloodline."
Na'er glanced at Di Tian. Surely that would make him put away his little schemes now, right?
"What?"
"How could this be? How could this be?!"
"Master, please wait here! This subordinate will return shortly!"
Di Tian froze again. The more unhappy he had been moments ago, the more excited he became now. After tossing out those words, his figure vanished without a trace.
"...?"
"It's the middle of the night. Don't disturb Brother's rest!"
Na'er's anger flared at once, but when she thought of Di Tian's loyalty to the dragon clan, she silently shook her head.
Forget it. Just this once.
It was fine if he showed himself. If things continued like this, perhaps she could invite Brother to revive the dragon clan with her in the future!
"With Brother."
"I like it best."
Na'er giggled to herself.
"..."
What Na'er did not know was that the instant Di Tian entered the room, two auras capable of killing him had instantly locked him down.
"What's this? You didn't take little Na'er away, and now you've set your sights on my young master?"
With just a clenched hand in the air, Bibi Dong held Di Tian—who had stepped into the quasi-god level in spatial abilities—completely motionless where he stood.
A god would always be a god.
Even though, on the Douluo Continent, they could normally only remain at the Limit Douluo level and wield the power of a peak second-class god, it was still the same.
Not to mention in their former world...
They had been peak first-class gods.
"A god... a god-level powerhouse!"
As he was forcibly restrained, Di Tian's body trembled. He stared blankly at Bibi Dong before him and could not help crying out.
"No, there's..."
"More than one!"
The next moment, when his gaze swept over Qian Renxue standing respectfully beside Jiang Yan, Di Tian's pupils contracted.
That bright, sacred aura.
Its mere pressure surpassed that of a first-class god!
"You're Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, right? Tell me."
"What is it you wanted to say?"
Seeing Di Tian instantly pinned down, Jiang Yan smiled. While inwardly marveling at the power of his two protectors, he spoke coldly.
Still, his feelings were not as ruthless as he appeared. After all, Sister Xue had been sharing the information from next door with him all along, and he had seen Di Tian's shock for himself.
"Replying to you, Young Master, I heard from my master, the Silver Dragon King, that you possess the complete Dragon God bloodline. In a moment of impulse, I..."
"I never expected to disturb you in the middle of the night."
Di Tian took a deep breath. He gave Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong an awkward laugh, then hurriedly blamed himself.
This was no longer about whether he anticipated the Dragon God bloodline or not. It was about whether he would survive if he did not bow his head!
"Dragon God bloodline?"
"So what if I have it?"
Jiang Yan looked at him, but did not deny it.
The instant his words fell, three soul rings lit up beneath his feet, and a nine-colored radiance abruptly emerged.
His calm black eyes were swallowed by gold at that moment. As his gaze met Di Tian's, the already stunned Di Tian began trembling all over.
This was an innate effect of the Dragon God bloodline.
Sovereign Over All, Lord of All Beings!
At that moment, Di Tian stared blankly at the person before him. How could he not understand why his master had said this person was the one who should truly be their master?
The completeness of this Dragon God bloodline...
It was practically the old Dragon God reborn!
"My two lords."
"Could you please withdraw your divine power?"
His eyes had turned red. He looked at Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong beside Jiang Yan and spoke with respect.
"..."
The two women ignored him completely and instead looked toward Jiang Yan. Only after receiving his nod did they withdraw their power.
And Di Tian did not disappoint them.
"This subordinate, Di Tian, clan leader of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon Clan, former captain of the Dragon God's Guard, and the current strongest of the beast clan..."
"Greets the Lord of the Dragon Clan!"
"Greetings—Master!"
Facing Jiang Yan, Di Tian did not hesitate in the slightest before dropping to his knees in worship. He was so excited that tears streamed from his eyes. In that instant, he cast aside his original master, the Silver Dragon King, without another thought.
Compared with the man before him, who possessed the complete bloodline and god-level guards, what did the Silver Dragon King even amount to?
"Mm. At least you have good judgment."
Jiang Yan smiled. He was not particularly shocked by Di Tian's reaction. On the contrary, if Di Tian had not acted this way...
That would have been what truly surprised him.
"This subordinate was ignorant and nearly offended Master. Even death would not be enough punishment. I beg Master for forgiveness!"
Di Tian did not dare raise his head. He remained respectfully kneeling as he spoke.
"As you can see, I bear the orthodox bloodline of the Dragon God. If the beast clan and dragon clan are to be revived in the future, that will be my task."
"Na'er is by my side. Do you have any objections?"
Jiang Yan looked at him and spoke indifferently.
"Replying to Master!"
"This subordinate has no objections."
Hearing that, Di Tian immediately shook his head, his face beneath the hood bobbing like a rattle drum.
"Lord Silver Dragon King being with you is entirely the will of fate. It is precisely an omen of the dragon clan's rise. This little dragon..."
"How could I possibly stop the two of you?!"
Di Tian spoke respectfully. The bloodshot look in his eyes had yet to fade, and he could not have looked more loyal.
How could he not be loyal?
The Silver Dragon King alone had already been enough to serve as the dragon clan's hope for revival. He had originally thought that Gu Yuena's situation today meant the dragon clan had lost all hope, but the truth was the exact opposite!
Master, no... Lord Silver Dragon King, just how far ahead could those eyes of yours see?
You truly possessed wisdom that shook the world!
"Master, from this day onward, this subordinate will guard you and Lord Silver Dragon King at all times, protecting you for the rest of my life!"
Di Tian raised his head and declared solemnly.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Yan said nothing, but Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong had already turned toward him in unison, smiling without smiling.
So...
He wanted to compete with them for the young master?
Even if it was only the right to protect him, that was still unacceptable.
"I don't need your protection."
"You will..."
"Remain on standby in East Sea City."
Jiang Yan shook his head. Di Tian was undoubtedly a top-tier powerhouse, but...
What he needed least was muscle.
So long as no God King appeared, the combination of Sister Xue and Sister Dong as his protectors was already invincible in the world!
"This..."
"This little dragon accepts the order!"
"I am ready to die for Master at any time!"
Di Tian froze for a moment, then nodded solemnly.
For Master...
He would give everything!
"..."
Not long after, Na'er's room.
"Brother, why did you come?"
Na'er looked at Jiang Yan, who had suddenly arrived. When she especially noticed Di Tian following behind him, she froze, while waves of anticipation rose in her heart.
"Na'er."
"You are not the only one reviving the dragon clan. There is also me."
Jiang Yan came before her and smiled gently.
He bore the Dragon God bloodline. If there was anyone he would stand with in this life, it would only be the dragon little sister he had brought home years ago.
"Mm! Brother!"
Hearing that, Na'er could no longer hold herself back. Her eyes reddened as she stepped forward and took his hand.
"Di Tian has already told you, so I won't say much more."
"But there's one thing..."
"I remembered my own name, Brother."
She giggled and said sweetly:
"My name is..."
"Gu Yuena!"
"..."
PS: In my previous books, Gu Yue and Na'er never merged. This time, I'm trying a version where they were never separated from the start.
She will always be herself.
She will always be Gu Yuena.
