Foster Daughter: Fire Dragon King Jia Lin! The Spacetime Shuttle, Where the Previous Fire Dragon King Perished!

"Long live the Progenitor!"

"Long live the Emperor!"

Countless faint yet immensely fervent thoughts came from the depths of the sea.

Immediately after, billions of blue specks of light rose from the seawater. Like rivers flowing into the sea, they surged wildly into Lan Yu's body.

Feeling the vast, ocean-like pure energy, Lan Yu curled his lips into a satisfied smile.

"Very good.

With this immense power of faith, I'm only one step away from that realm."

Just then, Lan Yu seemed to sense something. His absorption of the power of faith paused slightly.

With a casual wave, he took out a fiery-red dragon scale as large as a human head from the personal space he had opened.

At that moment, blazing firelight flickered over the dragon scale, faintly radiating an overbearing dragon's might.

Lan Yu blinked, a smile appearing on his lips.

"Has Jia Lin emerged from seclusion?"

Jia Lin was Lan Yu's foster daughter and also the current Fire Dragon King.

In the original future, she would not hatch from her egg until the Dragon Tomb Minor Plane had separated from Douluo Star.

But in this era, the Dragon Tomb Minor Plane was still attached to Douluo Star.

Twenty thousand years ago, while traveling across Star Luo Continent, Lan Yu had stumbled upon Dragon Valley.

Although the laws had rejected his attempt to enter, Dragon Valley had voluntarily sent out a dragon egg.

Lan Yu had expended his own life essence to nurture it, successfully hatching the egg. That hatchling was Jia Lin.

As the leader of the Fire Dragon Clan, Jia Lin's cultivation speed was terrifyingly fast.

Furthermore, over the past twenty thousand years, Lan Yu had given her every top-tier Soul Beast resource he collected that he had no use for.

In just twenty thousand years, Jia Lin had soared all the way to the terrifying cultivation level of five hundred thousand years!

Though her cultivation was only five hundred thousand years, she possessed the pure bloodline of the Fire Dragon King.

Jia Lin's true combat strength was enough to rival super Fierce Beasts of seven or eight hundred thousand years.

Before Lan Yu returned to Douluo Continent this time, Jia Lin had entered seclusion to prepare for her five-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation.

To be safe, Lan Yu had lent her the Divine Artifact, the Spacetime Shuttle.

Now that the dragon scale was reacting, she had clearly survived the heavenly tribulation and officially entered the ranks of five-hundred-thousand-year Fierce Beasts.

"Buzz—"

As Lan Yu pondered, the space above the sea suddenly twisted violently.

The next moment, using the Divine Artifact Spacetime Shuttle, Jia Lin crossed half of Douluo Star and appeared before Lan Yu in an instant.

"Dad!

I did it!"

Along with a crisp, pleasant voice carrying a hint of dominance,

an incomparably beautiful young woman in a fiery-red gown called excitedly to Lan Yu.

Lan Yu smiled as he looked her over.

"How did the five-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation feel?"

Jia Lin proudly raised her delicate chin.

"With the Spacetime Shuttle Dad lent me, what was a mere five-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation?

I'm now a genuine five-hundred-thousand-year Fierce Beast!

Even if I ran into old monsters of seven or eight hundred thousand years, I could pin them to the ground and pound them!"

Lan Yu smiled helplessly, his tone gentle.

"You're still as rash as ever.

Now that you've successfully emerged from seclusion, stay by my side from now on.

Douluo Continent is about to become unsettled."

Jia Lin's eyes lit up as she excitedly waved her fist.

"Unsettled is good!

I've just broken through and was worried I'd have nowhere to test my skills!

Dad, where are we going next?"

Lan Yu raised a hand and pointed into the distance, chuckling.

"Of course, to Douluo Continent."

After a brief pause, Lan Yu looked at her and asked again.

"Do you remember what I told you when you first hatched from your egg twenty thousand years ago?"

Jia Lin froze at once, as though her mind had crashed. She blinked, wearing a foolishly adorable blank expression.

After snapping back to herself, Jia Lin gave a delicate snort. Folding her arms across her chest, she said indignantly,

"That was twenty thousand years ago! How could I possibly remember it?"

Lan Yu could not help laughing.

"All right, I'll stop teasing you."

Lan Yu's expression turned slightly serious as he spoke slowly.

"When you first hatched twenty thousand years ago, I told you that the place where the previous Fire Dragon King perished was on Douluo Continent.

I promised you that when I returned to Douluo Continent someday, I would bring you back with me.

Now happens to be the perfect time."

Jia Lin was completely stunned, her face full of disbelief.

The previous Fire Dragon King?

Wasn't that the God King-level Fire Dragon King who had died in the Divine Realm War countless years ago?!

After a brief daze, an incomparably excited light burst from Jia Lin's eyes. She lunged forward, hugged Lan Yu's face, and planted a hard kiss on his cheek.

"Thank you, Dad!"

Jia Lin was wildly excited inside.

If she could obtain the legacy left behind by the previous God King-level Fire Dragon King, her cultivation would undoubtedly experience explosive growth.

The foundation of her bloodline would also undergo an unimaginably massive improvement!

There might even be an opportunity for her to become a god!

It was rather tragic.

After the Dragon Clan lost the Divine Realm War,

even current Dragon Kings like Jia Lin and Di Tian could only cultivate slowly on Douluo Star.

Even if they eventually cultivated to nine hundred and ninety thousand years,

as long as the God Realm still existed, they could forget about becoming gods.

And the place where a God King-level Fire Dragon King had perished held extraordinary significance for Jia Lin—it concerned her future chance to become a god!

Lan Yu wiped the kissed cheek and smiled helplessly.

"You're already a five-hundred-thousand-year Fierce Beast. Why are you still as rash as a little girl?"

Jia Lin tightly wrapped her arms around Lan Yu's arm and said with a grin,

"In front of Dad, I'll always be a little dragon hatchling!

Dad, shall we set off now?

Where exactly did the previous Fire Dragon King fall?"

Lan Yu looked toward the depths of Douluo Continent and spoke slowly.

"In Sunset Forest, within the Heaven Dou Empire.

There is a treasured place called the 'Icefire Yin-Yang Eye.' It was formed from the origin power left behind after the previous Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King fell."

"The Water Dragon King is there too?"

Jia Lin's eyes immediately shone brightly. Unable to wait, she grabbed Lan Yu's arm and shook it.

"Then what are we waiting for, Dad? Let's go!

I can't wait to see the legacy left by our predecessors!"

"What's the rush?"

Lan Yu patted her head, then turned toward the phantom of the Azure Sea Silver Emperor, who had been waiting respectfully nearby.

"I have accepted the power of faith.

Continue guarding these waters. If anything changes, contact me through the bloodline mark at any time."

The Azure Sea Silver Emperor bowed deeply, her voice filled with reverence.

"I obey the Emperor's decree!

Farewell, Emperor!"

Lan Yu nodded slightly and said nothing more.

With a casual wave, the power of space instantly enveloped the two of them.

The next moment, Lan Yu and Jia Lin transformed into a brilliant streak of light, tore through the void, and sped toward Sunset Forest on Douluo Continent.

Although the Spacetime Shuttle was a Divine Artifact, it was not of much use to Lan Yu.

Twenty thousand years ago, Lan Yu's cultivation had already reached Demigod.

Other than becoming a god, there was no longer any possibility for his cultivation to improve further.

During those twenty thousand dormant years, Lan Yu had used the effects of the [Late Bloomer] fate entirely on other areas.

For example, his spatial attribute had already been fully maxed out.

As a result, the Spacetime Shuttle was practically optional for Lan Yu.

(Interlude: Lan Yu: "[Late Bloomer], give me some points!")
