The Whole Story

"Good heavens, my lord, I finally found you!"

"Damn, you're not dead?"

Yu Yuan was startled out of his wits.

"Listen to yourself, my lord. How could I possibly die when you're still here?"

Along with the voice appeared an illusory silver dragon, shrunk countless times over.

"You're that silver dragon from before?"

Yu Yuan looked at the silver dragon before him, now countless times smaller.

It suddenly struck him that the other party resembled the soul spirits from Douluo Continent II.

"That's right, that was little old me just now. My lord truly has a discerning eye. Little old me is deeply impressed."

As it spoke, the silver dragon bent over and bowed to Yu Yuan.

Was this dragon normal?

Yu Yuan felt that this dragon might have some problems with its intelligence. And why did it keep talking like that?

"So, what exactly did you do just now?"

Yu Yuan felt that he still needed to figure out what had happened.

What if it had not actually sacrificed itself?

"Of course I sacrificed myself to you, my lord. Little old me completely and utterly sacrificed myself to you."

"A sacrifice? Then just now, I..."

Yu Yuan had not known that a sacrifice could hurt that much.

"Haha, that was because it was little old me's first time sacrificing myself. I didn't control it properly when transforming into a soul spirit, so a bit of the sealed power leaked out."

The silver dragon wore an awkward expression as it smiled ingratiatingly at Yu Yuan.

"So that means I didn't have to hurt that much?"

"Uh..."

"Please answer directly."

"Well, it was just a mistake. Little old me didn't do it on purpose."

"I fucking..."

Yu Yuan had been about to get angry, but then he remembered that the other party had already sacrificed itself to him.

He had gained so many benefits. A little pain was just a little pain.

"Forget it. I did get quite a few benefits, after all."

"Good heavens, you truly are magnanimous. Little old me really did not misjudge you. You truly are..."

The silver dragon immediately began heaping praise on Yu Yuan without end.

Fortunately, Yu Yuan interrupted it in time to understand the situation.

"Enough. Please tell me, why exactly did you sacrifice yourself to me?"

That was the most important matter at the moment.

"Well, that's quite a long story."

"Then keep it short."

"Got it!"

Thus, the silver dragon began its tale from the era of the Dragon God.

In simple terms, the silver dragon before him was the child of the Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King, two of the legendary Nine Dragon Kings.

It had originally followed the Dragon God and lived a wonderful life.

But who could have known?

After waking up from a nap, the Dragon God had gone mad.

"My lord, you have no idea. Back then, I told my parents that the Dragon God was an unreliable boss."

"They didn't believe me, though. And look what happened."

"They got slaughtered by the Dragon God along with the other Dragon Kings."

The silver dragon did not seem sad in the slightest. Instead, it looked positively gleeful at their misfortune.

"Wait, weren't those your parents?"

"Well, I warned them back then. They just refused to run away with me."

According to the silver dragon, it had already done all it could. Besides, so many years had passed that it no longer cared much.

"If you ask me, that wasn't even the Dragon God's worst betrayal of soul beasts."

"Oh? That wasn't bad enough?"

Yu Yuan seemed to know what it was about to say.

"Exactly. Before that old mad dragon died, he actually stopped soul beasts from becoming gods."

The silver dragon said that it had not been sure whether that was true at first.

But it had kept itself alive all the way to the era of the Peerless Tang Clan ten thousand years later.

By then, it had already cultivated for nine hundred and ninety thousand years and discovered that it would be difficult to overcome the million-year heavenly tribulation.

But it had thought that crossing it would allow it to become a god.

It had been ready to risk everything, only to see Skydream Iceworm.

Well then, even reaching a million years would not let it become a god.

"Then I watched that Huo Yuhao gorge himself on resources all the way through. One look was enough to tell he was the child of destiny."

The silver dragon sounded somewhat envious when speaking of him. After all, it had honestly cultivated all the way to nine hundred and ninety thousand years.

Yet that guy's lucky opportunities had never stopped. He had every good thing imaginable.

"Little old me thought at the time, why not become his soul spirit? After all, he was connected to an auspicious beast, and I could follow him to godhood."

"But guess what happened? He took a trip to that Qian Kun Asks Love Valley."

"That brat fucking became a dog."

Then there was talk of some grand God King plan, of how even daughters could be taken apart and used.

And how the fate of soul beasts had already run out.

In short, the silver dragon had despaired of that era.

"So, you returned to ten thousand years ago?"

Yu Yuan thought that it might have returned to kill Tang San.

Yet the silver dragon shook its head awkwardly.

"Hehe, not quite. Little old me first used my power to take a look at how the next ten thousand years would unfold."

"After all, as long as I didn't cultivate, I could still live for at least another ten thousand years."

The silver dragon then seemed to recall something, and its expression became exceptionally ugly.

"Sigh, that's why I told my father and mother back then that the Dragon God was unreliable."

"Hm? What did that have to do with the Dragon God? Wasn't he already dead?"

One look at its expression told Yu Yuan that it already knew about Gu Yuena.

"Allow little old me to explain in detail."

It then spoke of how, before dying, the Dragon God had split himself into two.

The Golden Dragon King inherited the Dragon God's "Godhood of Destruction," along with supreme strength and physique.

It represented the Dragon God's mad will, was responsible for battle and destruction, and was a pure physical destroyer.

The Silver Dragon King, on the other hand, inherited the Dragon God's "Godhood of Creation" and supreme elemental control.

It represented the Dragon God's rational will and could freely control the seven great elements: water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space.

"The Silver Dragon King had been recovering from her injuries all along, but once she recovered two thousand years later..."

"She actually chose to become human!"

"At the time, I thought, this is bad. I'm Chovy—boss, just send it to me already!"

"And sure enough, the Silver Dragon King said she was going to the human world to investigate the situation."

"But what happened? She got herself amnesia."

"Amnesia would have been one thing, but guess what happened next?"

Yu Yuan felt that the little dragon before him was about to cry.

"She... she actually became that God King Tang's daughter-in-law!"

"Then she directly abandoned the soul beasts."

"Little old me cried on the spot."

The silver dragon had truly cried at the time. The co-ruler of soul beasts had actually turned out like this.

Did that not mean soul beasts and the dragon race were finished?

Poor Di Tian, that junior it had seen.

The auspicious beast he had raised like a daughter had been plotted against and killed.

The Silver Dragon King he had treated as his lord later became someone from the God Realm and forgot soul beasts completely.

"And so, I understood."

The silver dragon suddenly wiped away its nonexistent tears and continued.

"After Tang San became a God King, the soul beasts of Douluo Continent were beyond saving."

"So, whether for my own sake or for the future of the dragon race and soul beasts..."

"Little old me could only look back."

The silver dragon then stared fixedly at Yu Yuan, revealing a satisfied expression.

"Little old me had originally thought that Tang San was so powerful that, ten thousand years ago, there would probably be few who could contend with him."

"But little old me never expected to discover such a talent as you, my lord."

As though recalling something, the silver dragon's face revealed a longing expression.

"At the divine battle at Jialing Pass, as a level ninety-nine Titled Douluo..."

"You chose to stand in the middle and fight both sides."
