Goddess of Life, You Wouldn't Want Destruction to Know He Exists, Would You?

"Silver Dragon King?"

"I never expected you to be hiding here."

A layer of frost instantly covered the Goddess of Life's exquisite face. She stood suspended in the air, her emerald-green dress fluttering despite the absence of wind.

Though neither the Silver Dragon King nor the Golden Dragon King could compare to the Dragon God, either of them was far stronger in single combat than any God King.

"Life, there's no need for you to be so hostile toward me. It's not like I'm going to eat you."

"I've stayed here for so many years that more than half my strength has long since faded away. If we fought, I might not necessarily be able to suppress you."

Dressed in a silver-white gown, the Silver Dragon King stood at the boundary between the morning light and the forest shadows, a gentle, composed smile on her face.

"Hmph. I never expected that even after your Dragon Clan had fallen so far, you would still be making these little moves in secret. What's more, I never expected you to dare reveal yourself willingly."

"Could it be that you think your body is tougher than the Golden Dragon King's?"

The Goddess of Life's phoenix eyes blazed with authority as the Law of Life surged around her like a tidal wave.

Li Qinglian stared blankly at the two strongest women in the universe facing each other in midair.

One was a female God King, the other a female Dragon King!

Each was more beautiful than the last, and each was more powerful than the last!

"Are you really going to report me?"

The Silver Dragon King folded her arms across her chest, making her already ample bosom appear even more alluring. Her tone carried a hint of teasing.

"Why not? Do you think you can run?"

"Life, if I'm exposed, then he'll be exposed too."

The Silver Dragon King extended a slender jade hand and pointed toward Li Qinglian on the ground from afar, her smile becoming increasingly meaningful.

"You wouldn't want the God of Destruction to learn of his existence, would you?"

???

Li Qinglian's face was full of question marks.

What kind of situation had this turned into?

No, wait!

This was like one of those Japanese plots...

The Silver Dragon King could play this sort of game too?

"You!"

The Goddess of Life's beautiful eyes widened, her chest heaving violently with rage.

What the Silver Dragon King said truly left her unable to refute it.

If the God of Destruction learned of the Death Divine Tree's existence, he would likely kill him immediately!

She absolutely could not let Little Zi learn of Li Qinglian's existence!

"Go ahead and try touching me if you dare. I can even refrain from resisting."

"But if you make too much noise and draw people from the God Realm here, that would be troublesome."

"As far as I know, the inheritance ground of the God Realm's enforcer, the Asura God, is on the Douluo Continent. It seems to be in a place called the City of Slaughter."

The Silver Dragon King's smile did not fade.

Watching this grand scene unfold, Li Qinglian only felt his head ache.

He did not know whether he was lucky or unfortunate. He had only just taken human form, yet he had already been dragged into a game at this level. The Silver Dragon King clearly wanted to use him as a bargaining chip to break the deadlock and even use him to gain leverage over the Goddess of Life.

He was the Death Divine Tree and had a bond with the Goddess of Life. But he did not want to trouble her with everything.

Still, in a scene like this, he was only a six-year-old child. There was no way he could get involved.

Even before taking human form, when he had been a top-tier ferocious beast, he had been utterly incapable of comparing with the Silver Dragon King. The gap was simply too great!

"What do you want?"

After a long silence, the Goddess of Life finally spoke.

"I already said I bear no ill will. You can't stay on the Douluo Continent for long. I can also help you look after this little man."

"As for my request, I want the Golden Dragon King's divine core. Can you give it to me?"

Gu Yuena let out a soft laugh.

"I can't do that. No God King in the God Realm can kill the Golden Dragon King. Neither the Asura God nor Little Zi and the others can do it."

The Asura God was extremely hostile toward the Dragon Clan.

If he had possessed that strength, he would have killed the Golden Dragon King long ago.

The Golden Dragon King had inherited the Dragon God's tyrannical body. So long as he was willing to remain hidden, no one could kill him.

"I knew it..."

"I haven't decided on my request yet. I'll tell you when the time comes. But one thing is certain: I only want to become your friend, not your enemy."

The Silver Dragon King spoke seriously.

The Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Kindness were two of the few God Kings in the God Realm who did not discriminate against soul beasts. Unfortunately, neither of them was in charge.

Although they were all God Kings and their powers were roughly equal, due to the personalities of the female God Kings, most of their authority had been handed over to Destruction and the Evil God King.

Even though the Goddess of Kindness stood against the Evil God King in most matters, she would ultimately yield to his opinion.

"I want a God King who can take charge and is friendly toward soul beasts and the Dragon Clan to emerge among the God Kings. Do you understand what I mean?"

The Silver Dragon King spoke sincerely.

For now, she truly had not thought that far ahead.

Or rather, as long as Li Qinglian could rise and become a God King, most of her goals could already be achieved indirectly.

"Qinglian, what do you think?"

The Goddess of Life looked toward the small figure on the ground.

"The Silver Dragon King has taken the initiative to show goodwill. We have no reason to reject that kindness."

"Besides, the Silver Dragon King is very strong. She can help us in the future."

Li Qinglian was not worried at all that the Silver Dragon King would scheme against him.

Every woman on the Douluo Continent perfectly fit the stereotype of having long hair and short sight, lacking maturity while being more than capable of ruining things, and being all chest and no brains.

Among them, the Goddess of Life and the Silver Dragon King were both textbook examples. Compared with those two, even Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue could barely be considered normal people.

The truth was, those two goddesses were extremely clear-minded. In the original story, Tang San's eventual control of the God Realm had much to do with the Goddess of Life's outrageous maneuvering.

Li Qinglian was genuinely afraid those two large-chested, brainless women would do something reckless.

Li Qinglian did not trust women at all, especially women from this world.

The bigger a woman's chest and the more beautiful her face, the more human-like her thought process was.

"Such a good boy! You're much smarter than that foolish woman."

"I already told you, I'm not some bad person."

The Silver Dragon King smiled until her silver eyes narrowed into slits.

She even picked Li Qinglian up, hugged him to her chest, and started rubbing him.

He was a future God King. If she did not rub him a little more now, she might never get another chance later.

"Little Qinglian, how about you acknowledge me as your godmother?"

The Silver Dragon King spoke as she rubbed Li Qinglian's head.

She recalled that humans seemed to take trusted subordinates as godsons and goddaughters. That way, even after they grew stronger, they would be less likely to rebel due to moral obligations.

"Uh... do you really think that's possible?"

Li Qinglian did not know whether to laugh or cry. Why did the Silver Dragon King keep coming up with things on a whim?

If he truly acknowledged the Silver Dragon King as his godmother, it might benefit him now.

But in the long run, he did not want to have a mother still controlling him after he became a God King.

Besides, although Gu Yuena was the Silver Dragon King, she did not dare act freely. Her help would not be as great as he imagined.

And whenever he heard the words "godmother," his thoughts could not help going astray. Those Japanese plots from his previous life had simply been too classic.

"No. I won't agree!"

The Goddess of Life's delicate brows rose sharply.

If Li Qinglian acknowledged Gu Yuena as his godmother, would that not mean Gu Yuena would be above her too?

She was the Goddess of Life, the mother of all living things.

How could she possibly have a godmother above her head? Wouldn't that make her the laughingstock of the world?

"I only mentioned it casually. If you don't want to, then forget it."

"From now on, you can call me big sister too. You can give me a human name. It feels strange for you to keep calling me the Silver Dragon King." The Silver Dragon King blinked her silver eyes.

In the past, everyone had called her Master. She had never needed a name.

But she wanted to be a little closer to Li Qinglian—not in the relationship of superior and subordinate, but as intimate friends.

"Gu Yuena... how about that?"

Li Qinglian blurted it out.

In the original story, Gu Yuena was the name the Silver Dragon King gave herself when she entered the human world.

"It sounds nice!"

The Silver Dragon King froze slightly, then her silver eyes suddenly widened.

"...It sounds nice."

She softly repeated the name. It seemed as though a strange rhythm flowed between her lips and teeth.

For some reason, she felt that the name shared an indescribable connection with her, as if she had possessed it in a previous life.
