At the very moment the storm descended...

Beneath the Lake of Life in the core region of the Star Dou Forest, every soul beast radiated an earthshaking aura. Even soul beasts still in their growth phase were several times stronger than the overlord-class soul beasts outside.

Yet at this moment, all the ferocious beasts were battered and bruised. They had originally hidden away, but the storm and the half-sky of golden light had drawn them out.

Even the silver giant dragon sleeping in another dimension abruptly opened her eyes upon sensing a familiar power outside. When she saw that familiar half-sky of gold, hatred surged within the Silver Dragon King's draconic eyes.

The Silver Dragon King could not stop herself from letting out furious roars. The entire space sensed her rage and trembled faintly, as though it might shatter at any moment.

"Di Tian, come see me!"

Outside, a mighty black dragon heard the familiar telepathic summons and did not dare delay, hurriedly going to meet the Silver Dragon King.

But when the black dragon Di Tian appeared before the Silver Dragon King with a bruised and swollen face, even her vicious, violent mood inexplicably made her want to laugh.

The Silver Dragon King asked in confusion, "What is this? Performance art?"

Di Tian's face immediately darkened, but he did not dare argue with the Silver Dragon King right now. What if she became unhappy and took it out on him? Wouldn't he suffer for nothing?

Di Tian replied, "My lord, it was all that damned pink kitten's doing. No matter what move we used, it could instantly replicate it exactly and hit us back with it."

The Silver Dragon King got a headache just hearing about Mew. She had personally attacked that little cat too, even drawing her Silver Dragon Spear. Yet Mew had casually produced an identical Silver Dragon Spear and stabbed at her. Afterward, when the Silver Dragon King fled, Mew covered its mouth and giggled.

It had infuriated the Silver Dragon King so badly that she had nearly disregarded everything and used god-level power to fight Mew to the death. Fortunately, the ferocious beasts stopped her and promised to deal with Mew themselves. Only then did they prevent the Silver Dragon King from staking her life against a pink kitten.

The ferocious beasts suffered terribly afterward. As everyone knew, Mew was a Pokémon that could never sit still—ah, no, a martial soul. Every day, it transformed not only into all kinds of Pokémon and soul beasts it had seen, but also split itself into two, maxing out the spectacle and making every soul beast believe that two super soul beasts were fighting to the death.

When the ferocious beasts rushed out in a panic, the soul beasts transformed by Mew launched a massive collision right in front of them.

The sight terrified the ferocious beasts. After the two enormous creatures collided with overwhelming force, they turned back into a single pink Mew. It glanced at them, then clutched its belly and laughed, occasionally changing the weather over the Lake of Life for good measure.

Soul beasts were temperamental too, and they all tried to attack Mew. The result was that Di Tian was nailed directly to a hill by a single Dragon Ascent.

Xiong Jun was nearly clawed to death by a simulated Sky-Rending Claw from Mew.

King of Ten Thousand Demons also tried to launch a sneak attack, only to be sealed inside a pink bubble by Mew's Mental Forced Control.

Bi Ji and Zi Ji slept very peacefully...

As the Silver Dragon King listened to Di Tian's report, her dragon mouth opened and closed. She wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

The Silver Dragon King shook her head, putting Mew aside for now, then spoke gravely to Di Tian. "Di Tian, leave that little cat alone. It probably means no harm. Judging by how it has behaved lately, it seems like a lively, playful child. Have the young swans of the Emerald Swan clan play with it. Perhaps it may even protect the Emerald Swan clan."

"What you need to do now is find the person or beast who received the storm's opportunity and bring them into our camp at any cost. Remember, at any cost."

As she said this, the Silver Dragon King stared fixedly at Di Tian with her silver eyes, making him feel immense pressure.

Seeing how solemn his lord was, Di Tian did not ask why. He answered firmly, "Yes, my lord. I will definitely bring the one who gained that opportunity before you."

Seeing Di Tian's excellent attitude, the Silver Dragon King told him more.

"Do you know why Father God was split in two by Asura God back then?"

"Wasn't it because the Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King betrayed him?"

The Silver Dragon King looked at the golden sky outside and continued, "No. After Father God surpassed the God King realm and reached the God Emperor realm, which had existed only in legend, he comprehended the laws of creation and destruction and created the present God Realm. In the days that followed, Father God cultivated primarily through these two laws. Though these powers were immensely strong, they were not easy to control. When Father God was preparing to break through once again..."

As she spoke, the Silver Dragon King once again looked toward the golden half of the sky outside and the storm opposing it. Di Tian did not urge her, merely listening in silence.

The Silver Dragon King continued, "When Father God was preparing to break through to an even higher realm, to surpass the God Emperor and become the universe's sole supreme god, that half-sky of gold appeared. But it was not as weak as it is now. Its golden light directly covered the entire universe."

"This... then that golden light is...!"

Di Tian could no longer hold back. If what his lord said was true, then that golden light was the true culprit behind the Dragon God's death.

And that storm was actually fighting against it. Didn't that mean the storm stood on equal footing with the Dragon God?

Di Tian felt his worldview being reforged. He had always looked down on every living being in the universe besides dragonkind.

The gods of the God Realm were the same—just slightly bigger nobodies. Looking across the entire universe, there had not been a single one who could compare to his master, the Dragon God, even after all these years.

Not even someone who reached the Dragon God's former realm had ever appeared, much less someone who surpassed the Dragon God. If he were still in the God Realm, or if he had not been suppressed, Di Tian would have become a god long ago. He might even be a God King by now, just like the Ten Dragon Kings of old. Yet now he was being told that this universe actually contained beings who could stand on equal footing with the Dragon God.

The Silver Dragon King ignored Di Tian's shock and continued, "I am telling you this so you understand this mission. A storm capable of provoking the descent of the universe's will—whoever obtains it, even if their future achievements do not surpass Father God's, they will at least stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Do you understand the importance of this mission now, Di Tian...?"

"Yo mew!"

Just as Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King were solemnly discussing matters of cosmic importance, Mew suddenly appeared between them. It kept spinning in place in midair, laughing with utter delight. Mew thought Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King were playing hide-and-seek with it!

"Yo mew! Yo mew! Hehehe!!!"

When the Silver Dragon King saw Mew suddenly appear in her space, she was so angry that the armor on her chest trembled.

"You damned little cat! Today, I'll fight you to the death! Take this—Elemental Primordial Annihilation!"

"My lord, my lord, don't act rashly."

"Yo mew, yo mew."

Mew ran, the Silver Dragon King chased, and Di Tian tried to stop them. They had a wonderful time playing in that special space.

"Big Bear, Big Bear! This is Lightning, this is Lightning. Please respond if you hear me, please respond if you hear me."

Xiao Chenghe: "Big Bear received!"

Luo Yihe: "How's my treasure? As long as you're on the Douluo Continent, you can receive it no matter where you are."

Xiao Chenghe: "Brother Luo, you're amazing. This treasure is practically a divine artifact. Isn't selling it for just nineteen thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Gold Soul Coins too much of a loss?"

Luo Yihe: "Sigh, Big Bear, Notting City is our home. The people living here are all family. How could we make money off our family?"

Xiao Chenghe: "Brother Luo really treats family well. Then let's make it even cheaper."

Luo Yihe: "Wouldn't that be a little inappropriate? We made this thing day and night, neglecting our studies."

Xiao Chenghe: "How could that do? These are our family. Even if we have to pick through trash to eat and shelter under other people's eaves when it rains, we still have to give our family the benefits. This Fruit Phone must be sold to our family for nine point nine Silver Soul Coins today."
