"Alright, I was just scaring you. Where's the Dragon God?"

The Fire Dragon King waved his massive dragon claw, but it passed straight through everything around it.

Clearly, this enormous phantom had no offensive capability.

"Ah, Fire Lord, you should've said so sooner. You scared the little dragon out of me."

Realizing the other party could not even attack, Xiao Kong pulled himself together again despite his grief.

Just as he was about to act cheeky again, the Ice Dragon King spoke as well.

"Enough. Where is the Dragon God?"

Clearly, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had no intention of wasting what little strength they had left chatting with Xiao Kong.

They had only appeared because Xiao Kong had called for the Dragon God.

Otherwise, they would not have bothered with the Temporal Saint Dragon, a deserter who had fled during the great war.

"You two Dragon Lords are still as impatient as ever."

Xiao Kong noticed that Yu Yuan had finished regulating the energy within his body, so he did not intend to stall any longer.

He flapped his wings and flew to Yu Yuan's side just as he opened his eyes. After striking an incredibly exaggerated pose, he loudly announced,

"Ta-da-da-daa! The Dragon God is right here!"

Silence.

Dead silence.

Even Yu Yuan was stunned by Xiao Kong's antics.

Only after quite a while did the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings realize that the Temporal Saint Dragon before them was not joking.

He was actually serious!

The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King exchanged a glance.

Their years of tacit understanding made it easy for them to read the meaning in each other's eyes.

Is this thing insane?

He has to be insane, right?!

"You... are serious?"

In the end, the calmer and more worldly Ice Dragon King chose to speak first.

"Hm? Of course. Can't you see my master's Dragon God bearing? He's the new supreme ruler of soul beasts!"

Xiao Kong answered as though it were only natural, even tacking on the title of supreme ruler of soul beasts.

"Dragon God bearing?"

"Supreme ruler of soul beasts?"

Both Dragon Kings wore expressions that clearly said, Are you kidding me?

After all, no matter how they looked at him, the fellow before them did not fit either title.

"Damn it, Xiao Kong, just shut up!"

Yu Yuan directly stopped the Temporal Saint Dragon, who was preparing to continue spouting nonsense.

Damn it.

If Xiao Kong kept talking, Yu Yuan suspected the two Dragon Kings would lose patience and attack.

Even if they could not attack directly, merely releasing their control over the surrounding energy would be enough to make Yu Yuan suffer badly.

"Oh? You?"

"Why should we waste our time listening to you?"

Neither the Ice Dragon King nor the Fire Dragon King intended to waste time on Yu Yuan.

Every second they maintained their forms was an enormous burden on their remaining spiritual power.

"Consider it on the chance that I really might become the future Dragon God."

Yu Yuan had never lacked confidence in himself. Not long after awakening his martial soul, he had already dared to scheme for Yu Xiaogang's Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline.

In the original timeline, he had even fought three gods as a Titled Douluo.

Though he now suspected that his counterpart from that timeline had gone mad.

Still, there was no denying it. If the former him could reach that point without the Temporal Saint Dragon, then why could Yu Yuan now not become this so-called Dragon God?

With that thought, Yu Yuan released his control over the pressure of his bloodline.

The bloodlines of the Temporal Saint Dragon and Golden Sacred Dragon were swiftly sensed by the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.

"Temporal Saint Dragon and Golden Sacred Dragon?"

Though the Fire Dragon King remained disdainful,

the Ice Dragon King looked at the Temporal Saint Dragon floating beside Yu Yuan and finally spoke.

"For the sake of that idiot beside you, I'll hear what you have to say."

"Ice, why—"

The Fire Dragon King had barely begun to ask when the Ice Dragon King interrupted him.

"Fire, listen to him. We've been lying here for so long. Even if we keep lying here, what can we possibly wait for?"

The Ice Dragon King persuaded him. After all, he had waited for far too long.

If not for the Temporal Saint Dragon's call this time, one that burned his origin, he suspected he would never have awakened.

The Temporal Saint Dragon bloodline within the fellow before them clearly came from the Temporal Saint Dragon floating nearby.

Since he could make the only one who had seen through the Dragon God's problem back then choose to serve him, he must have something worthwhile.

As for why he did not let the Temporal Saint Dragon speak?

Naturally, it was because the Ice Dragon King did not want to hear that idiot talk at all.

"Since Ice says so, I'll listen too. Of course, the one beside you needs to keep his mouth shut."

Whenever the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were present together, the Ice Dragon King generally made the decisions. The Fire Dragon King knew that his thinking was simpler, so he was accustomed to following his close friend's lead.

After receiving their agreement, Yu Yuan finally began recounting everything.

From the future Xiao Kong had seen, to why he had chosen Yu Yuan, he explained it all one by one.

He also explained why they had come here and their plans for the future.

That included some of Yu Yuan's thoughts on the future relationship between soul beasts and humans.

Xiao Kong also kept corroborating Yu Yuan's account from the side.

This included the Dragon God's earth-shattering decision to prevent soul beasts from becoming gods, the current and future circumstances of the dragon race,

as well as Tang San's actions and the Silver Dragon King's choice in the future, one that had once again stunned the Temporal Saint Dragon.

"The Dragon God... abandoned the soul beasts?"

"So this is what the future looks like?"

The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were already despairing halfway through.

When they heard the Silver Dragon King's final choice, they even doubted whether they had heard wrong.

"The Silver Dragon King? The Dragon God's wisdom?"

"Sure enough, we should have realized it when the Dragon God went insane back then. What wisdom could the Dragon God possibly have?!"

Actually, there was some—for example, the earth-shattering wisdom of forbidding soul beasts from becoming gods!

Having finished explaining everything, Yu Yuan quietly absorbed the greatly diluted divine power and power of laws around him.

They had come all this way. If the negotiations failed, he could not exactly leave empty-handed, could he?

"Everything you said is true?"

The Fire Dragon King still could not believe it.

No, were these really moves a dragon could make?

I thought I was already brainless enough. There was someone even more brainless?

While the Fire Dragon King wondered whether his intelligence was too low to understand, the Ice Dragon King beside him had already sorted out his emotions and spoke.

"Enough, Fire. They have no reason to lie to us."

The Ice Dragon King looked at the Temporal Saint Dragon nearby. He still had some trust in his nephew.

He believed the other party would not deceive him over something like this.

Which meant those utterly absurd things were all true.

Wow. So if I sleep for another twenty thousand years or so, the soul beasts and dragon race will be completely finished?

How amazing!

Clearly, this one who seemed so calm was also close to going mad.

After quite a while,

Yu Yuan had even finished absorbing another wave of energy.

Only then did the two Dragon Kings finally recover from their shock.

Their enormous dragon eyes looked down at Yu Yuan and the Temporal Saint Dragon below.

The Fire Dragon King glanced at the Ice Dragon King, ultimately leaving the task of speaking to him.

He had nothing left to say.

"What are your plans?"

Seeing that his old friend had given up again, the Ice Dragon King, who had just sorted out his emotions, took the initiative to speak.

Before Yu Yuan could answer, Xiao Kong beside him shouted excitedly,

"I'm going to make a new Dragon God!"
