Gu Yuena raised her hand and gently closed her five slender fingers around empty air.
Invisible spiritual power rippled out from the lakebed, spreading wildly across the entire Star Dou Great Forest with the Lake of Life at its center.
The power was silent, yet it carried the Silver Dragon King's unmistakable, unquestionable will.
Soon, several figures came rushing from different parts of the forest and knelt in a row before her at the bottom of the lake.
The first to arrive was the Scarlet King. He had been patrolling the lake's surface, so he was the first to dive down when he heard the summons.
Next came Di Tian. He had only recently returned from the entrance to the Dragon Realm and had barely warmed his seat when he sensed Gu Yuena's spiritual summons. Without a word, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King became a streak of black light and sank to the lakebed.
Then came Zi JI, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, and finally the Myriad Demon King.
Every notable ferocious beast in the Star Dou Great Forest had arrived, without a single exception.
Di Tian knelt on one knee at the front and raised his head to look at Gu Yuena.
A barely perceptible unease flickered in his golden, slit-pupiled eyes. Why has our lord summoned every ferocious beast so urgently? Have her injuries worsened again? Or has something happened in the Divine Realm?
"My lord," Di Tian spoke first, his voice as deep as muffled thunder rolling through a valley. "Have you summoned us for an important matter?"
Gu Yuena's long, silver-white hair drifted gently behind her as though it were alive.
Her gaze swept over the ferocious beasts kneeling in a row before her. Her violet eyes held no unnecessary emotion, only an utterly calm, unquestionable certainty.
