Precautions

The name, so different from those of the other gods of Douluo Continent, left the three of them stunned. Bibi Dong looked puzzled. "Dragon God? That should be the 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 in stride. After all, he did not have a God King father to help him fuse with the Dragon King bloodline. "But possessing the bloodlines of the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings is already something humans could never naturally possess."

"Under normal circumstances, without outside interference, it is impossible for a human to 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 Title 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 in the hearts of people in the Douluo realm.

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

Possessing the Dragon God bloodline, an absolute taboo born from Nightmare Power—En Zuo would personally forge a legend.

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

No matter how much his teacher used the Light Sacred Dragon to cleanse away the Nightmare Power that had inadvertently remained within his body, it would be futile.

The truth was that Nightmare Power existed through his staff martial soul. It was a power that could not be eradicated at all.

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, then suddenly looked up. "Big Brother En Zuo, do you mean that the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings have pure bloodlines remaining on Douluo Continent?"

"Pure bloodlines from half of the Dragon God should possess at least god-level strength, right?"

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

Naturally, En Zuo did not hide anything and explained to the two who were unaware.

"When the next Continental Tournament begins, two of the Shrek Seven Monsters' reserve members 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 she had misheard. "Two people with pure divine bloodlines are entering a tournament held by mortals?!"

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

The only ones who could deal with the Dragon God were likely geniuses destined to become gods in the future.

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

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

En Zuo's expression stiffened, 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 was precisely why Tang San's words seemed so unbelievable to her.

"You really consider the son your parallel-world self had to be your son?"

Tang San draped an arm around En Zuo's shoulders, looking somewhat melancholy. "I privately listened to En Zuo talk about his future. It was too bitter... He's a good child. He shouldn't have to endure so much pain."

Tang Wulin's life had been filled with tragedy from the very moment of his birth. Even Tang San, who had seen Tang Wulin's future life experiences in their entirety, could rarely find any equally tragic experiences.

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

"But if I must seize the Dragon God 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 this was already En Zuo's greatest concession. After all, Tang Wulin was merely the son of a counterpart from a parallel world. En Zuo had already shown him the utmost kindness.

He patted En Zuo's shoulder and revealed a warm smile. "It's fine. If he insists on becoming your enemy, Little San will firmly stand on your side."

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

In his view, if the day truly came when he had to seize Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline—

Tang San beside him would have to be guarded against. No matter how deep their feelings were, he would still be 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 restraints, then use his martial soul to thoroughly twist his personality.

The former was easy to understand. As long as Tang San remained in the Dragon King Era, Xiao Wu was almost certain to die. There was simply no possibility of changing it.

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 Peerless Tang Clan era.

—Dark Blue Silver Grass.

An evil martial soul born by injecting sinister power and resentment into Blue Silver Grass, pushing its Devour characteristic to an extreme. It would cause a drastic change in one's temperament.

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

Tang Ya, whose innate soul power had only been rank six in the original work, had forcefully risen from Soul Ancestor to Soul Saint in merely two years. The enhancement it granted soul masters was simply terrifying.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass not only had innate soul power at rank ten, but the bloodline hidden within the Blue Silver Emperor could even awaken later.

With such talent supplemented by immortal herbs, Tang San could even charge from Soul Ancestor to Title Douluo within two years.

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

"That includes Yuhao and Bibi Dong."

En Zuo jokingly eased the atmosphere.

"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."

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

En Zuo had pulled him away from his original tragic fate and allowed him to completely cast off the name Dai Yuhao.

Bibi Dong curiously pressed on, "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 though I possess the power to travel through time and space, I still cannot glimpse it."

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

To this day, En Zuo had never encountered such a situation before.

Bibi Dong found it rather boring and curled her lips. "What? You know our futures, yet you don't even know your own?"
