Precautions

The name, so different from those of the other gods of Douluo Continent, made the three of them pause. Bibi Dong looked puzzled. "Dragon God? That should be a god of soul beasts, right? Are you sure a human can pass the Dragon God's divine trial?"

"Theoretically, passing the divine trial is impossible."

En Zuo took the result quite calmly. After all, he did not have a God King father to help him fuse the Dragon King bloodline. "But possessing the bloodlines of the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings is the most basic requirement, and that is something humans cannot be born with."

"Under normal circumstances, without outside interference, a human cannot endure the cleansing of dragon bloodlines alone."

"However... I have another power capable of bearing the power of dragon bloodlines. It is simply too sinister, so according to my most ideal plan, I would only begin this plan after reaching the Titled Douluo realm."

That power was Nightmare Power.

If En Zuo's guess was correct, as long as he did not reject the use of Nightmare Power, nightmares would be born from it, drawing upon the ugliness buried within the hearts of people in the Douluo realm.

But if the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings were used as vessels for Nightmare Power, the first thing born from it would absolutely not be nightmares, but the Nether Ancient Dragon—the original offspring of nightmares.

Possessing the Dragon God's bloodline, this absolute taboo born from Nightmare Power would become a legend personally forged by En Zuo.

En Zuo sighed helplessly. "But my teacher strongly rejects my use of this power. I'll try to persuade my teacher about that."

No matter how his teacher used the Light Sacred Dragon to cleanse away the Nightmare Power that had inadvertently lingered within his body, it was useless.

The truth was that Nightmare Power existed through his staff martial soul. This power simply could not be eradicated.

Whether he wanted to or not, En Zuo would have to face Nightmare Power sooner or later. It was his destiny.

Huo Yuhao repeatedly considered En Zuo's words before suddenly looking up. "Brother En Zuo, are you saying that the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings have pure bloodlines remaining on Douluo Continent?"

"Pure bloodlines from halves of the Dragon God should possess at least god-level strength, shouldn't they?"

Tang San remained silent. En Zuo had already discussed who the Dragon God's halves were with him: Tang Wulin, who possessed the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, and Gu Yuena, who possessed the Silver Dragon King's bloodline.

Naturally, En Zuo did not keep it hidden and explained it to the two who were unaware.

"When the next Continental Tournament begins, two reserve members of the Shrek Seven Monsters will be halves of the Dragon God."

"Tang Wulin, the team captain, and Gu Yuena, who bears the great mission of reviving the soul beasts and possesses astonishing wisdom."

Bibi Dong suspected that she had misheard. "Two people with pure divine bloodlines are participating in a tournament organized by mortals?!"

She suddenly understood why En Zuo had sought the three of them out as teammates.

Those capable of dealing with the Dragon God were probably only geniuses destined to become gods in the future.

"Still..." Bibi Dong smiled teasingly. "Those two halves of the Dragon God at Shrek probably have no idea that all their information has already been completely exposed, do they?"

Tang San looked awkward as he gritted his teeth. "En Zuo, go a little easier on him. Tang Wulin... is my son..."

En Zuo's expression froze, his head full of question marks.

"Huh?"

Bibi Dong's eyes widened. She had more or less come to understand En Zuo's abilities, which made Tang San's words all the more unbelievable.

"You really consider the son your alternate self had in a parallel spacetime to be your son?"

Tang San draped an arm around En Zuo's shoulders, looking somewhat melancholy. "I heard En Zuo talk about his future in private. It was too bitter... He is a good child. He should not have to bear so much pain."

Tang Wulin's life had been filled with tragedy from the moment he was born. Even Tang San, who had seen Tang Wulin's future life experiences in their entirety, could rarely find a tragedy that compared with his.

"Little San, as for Tang Wulin..." En Zuo had long since planned out his fate. He looked seriously at Tang San. "If I do not need the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, I will not provoke him."

"But if I must seize the Dragon God's bloodline, then for your sake, I will spare his life and let him live out the rest of his years in peace."

Tang San also knew that this was already En Zuo's greatest concession. After all, Tang Wulin was only the son of an alternate self from a parallel spacetime. En Zuo had already shown the utmost benevolence.

He patted En Zuo on the shoulder and smiled warmly. "It's fine. If he insists on becoming your enemy, Little San will stand firmly by your side."

En Zuo's pupils contracted slightly. He suppressed the dark thoughts in his heart, his expression turning somewhat unnatural.

According to his own plans, if the day ever came when he had to seize Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline,

Tang San at his side would have to be dealt with in advance. No matter how deep their feelings were, he was still the greatest unstable factor.

According to En Zuo's plan, he would use the deepest obsession in Tang San's heart to impose the most fundamental restraint, then use his martial soul to completely twist his personality.

The former was easy to understand. As long as Tang San remained in the Dragon King Era, Xiao Wu was almost certainly doomed to die, with no possibility of turning things around.

As long as En Zuo possessed the ability to revive Xiao Wu, there was a high chance Tang San would agree to his demands.

And then there was...

The Dark Blue Silver Grass that had briefly appeared during the era of the Peerless Tang Clan.

—Dark Blue Silver Grass.

A sinister martial soul born by injecting evil power and resentment into Blue Silver Grass, drastically amplifying its Devour trait. It could cause a drastic change in a person's temperament.

En Zuo could use Nightmare Power to provide Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor with evil power and resentment, bringing about a complete martial soul mutation—and thus control.

Tang Ya, whose Innate Soul Power had originally only been rank six, had forcefully risen from Soul Ancestor to Soul Sage in merely two years. The boost it gave soul masters was simply terrifying.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass not only possessed rank ten Innate Soul Power, but the bloodline hidden within the Blue Silver Emperor could even awaken after birth.

With such talent, combined with Immortal Herbs, Tang San could even charge from Soul Ancestor to Titled Douluo within two years.

En Zuo composed himself, put on a gentle smile, and patted Tang San. "I have never doubted that."

"Yuhao and Bibi Dong included."

En Zuo lightened the atmosphere with a joke.

"Even if one day I become the enemy of the entire continent, I believe you will stand behind me without hesitation."

"After all, we are teammates who have fought side by side."

A glimmer flickered in Huo Yuhao's dead-gray eyes as he said firmly, "I will, Brother En Zuo."

En Zuo had taken him away from his originally miserable fate and allowed him to completely cast off the name Dai Yuhao.

Bibi Dong asked curiously, "Only even if? Shouldn't it be definitely? You know everything about our futures, so why are you so uncertain about your own future?"

En Zuo shook his head. "I don't know what will happen in my future. Even with the power to travel through time and space, I cannot glimpse it."

Even among the parallel timelines of the Dragon King Era, En Zuo had rarely captured any Dragon King parallel timeline in Narak Space where he existed.

Until now, En Zuo had never encountered such a situation.

Bibi Dong found it rather dull and curled her lip. "What? You know our futures, but you do not even know your own?"
