The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings swept their divine senses over Lu Yuan from head to toe, and several question marks popped into their minds.
This kid looked human, but his Dragon Clan aura was even purer than theirs, and there was something strange about it.
Somewhat... dark?
But not even the Dark Dragon King had such a dense dark aura!
Strange! So strange!
But none of that mattered. What mattered was that they had now seen hope for the Dragon Clan!
They never expected the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian to find them, even though they were now only wisps of remnant souls with barely any power left.
At least they could leave behind some final instructions, right?
At that moment, Di Tian could no longer suppress his excitement. He dropped to one knee, tears filling his eyes. "Uncle Fire Dragon King, Aunt Ice Dragon King? I finally found you!"
A trace of sorrow flashed through the Ice Dragon King's draconic eyes as she said gently, "Di Tian, it has been a long time!"
"The little one from back then has grown so much..."
The Fire Dragon King had a bold and straightforward nature. Unlike the sentimental Ice Dragon King, he asked, "Silver Dragon King, Di Tian, I never expected you to make it here. How did you find this place?"
Gu Yuena pulled Lu Yuan in front of her and said, "It was all thanks to this little guy!"
She explained Lu Yuan's dream to them.
The Fire Dragon King froze when he heard it.
A Fire Dragon King ancestor of the Dragon Clan?
As the Fire Dragon King himself, how did he not know about that?
Forget it. It was no big deal!
The universe was vast and boundless. Perhaps that Fire Dragon King belonged to another branch.
"Not bad! What a good child. The Dragon Clan has successors after all!"
The Fire Dragon King rarely spoke so politely, leaving the Ice Dragon King and Di Tian, who knew him well, both stunned.
Remembering the important matter, the Fire Dragon King asked Gu Yuena, "Silver Dragon King, have you come this time because you have found a way to restore the Dragon Clan?"
The Ice Dragon King also looked over with anticipation.
Gu Yuena said, "You two Dragon Kings, forgive my bluntness, but with my current abilities, reviving the Dragon Clan is far too difficult..."
"Among the Soul Beasts, I am the only God, and I can only display the strength of a First-Class God. It would be far too difficult to counterattack the Divine Realm and rescue the imprisoned Golden Dragon King."
The Ice Dragon King asked in confusion, "Only you are a God? What about the other beast gods?"
Gu Yuena shook her head.
"Fortunately, I met Xiao Yuan. His Martial Soul talent is excellent, and I want to raise him into a God so that he can help us take revenge in the future!"
Neither Dragon King objected.
It seemed the Silver Dragon King was quite farsighted. She knew to cultivate talent and prepare for the future.
The Fire Dragon King suddenly looked at Di Tian and asked doubtfully, "That's not right. Di Tian, why haven't you become a God yet?"
"Given your talent, you should have become one long ago!"
The ever-serious Di Tian instantly looked aggrieved and wailed, "Wuwuwu... Uncle! Aunt! It's all those human Gods' fault. They're too awful!"
"There is now a rule in the Divine Realm: not only must Soul Beasts endure the Heavenly Tribulation every hundred thousand years, but all Soul Beasts are also forbidden from becoming Gods!"
"The Heavenly Tribulation grows stronger every time. After cultivating for eight hundred thousand years, I simply couldn't endure it anymore, so now I have to suppress my cultivation and dare not break through too quickly!"
For the son of the Dark and Light Dragon Kings, his cultivation speed was practically that of a snail. Not only could he not cultivate freely, but he also had to suppress his cultivation in his daily life.
Otherwise, if he cultivated too quickly, he would fail to survive the Heavenly Tribulation and be struck to death.
The Fire Dragon King could hardly believe his ears. The dignified son of a God King had to suppress his cultivation to avoid dying from breaking through too fast?
The excitement the Ice Dragon King had felt upon awakening instantly sank to the bottom, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Then... what about the Dragon Clan? What has become of the Dragon Clan?"
Gu Yuena said gravely, "There are now only four true dragons in the world: myself, Di Tian, one Hell Demon Dragon, and... the sealed Golden Dragon King."
"H-How many?"
"Four true dragons?"
The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King were dumbfounded.
Their enormous Dragon Clan had suffered that great calamity, but surely it could not have dwindled to only four true dragons?
Gu Yuena looked at Lu Yuan. "If... Xiao Yuan is included... then barely five..."
"..."
The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King fell silent.
For the moment, they could see no future for the Dragon Clan.
After sleeping for so many years, they awoke only to hear news like this. They might as well have kept sleeping.
Di Tian sighed, then asked, "Uncle, Aunt, this place is very far from our Star Dou Forest. May I take your dragon souls away?"
The Fire Dragon King fell silent for a moment before saying, "Back then, I was slain by the Dragon God. My dragon soul should have dispersed."
"But our dragon bones fell into this place and formed this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. That preserved the last trace of our dragon souls, but it also made it impossible for us to leave."
"Wait!"
Di Tian looked somewhat dumbfounded. "No, Uncle, you said you were slain by the Dragon God, but weren't you killed by Asura?"
The Fire Dragon King said disdainfully, "Him? What a joke!"
"I was a God King renowned for ages. That brat Asura was nowhere near capable of killing me."
"Did sleeping for too long muddle your brain, kid?"
Di Tian said, "..."
Gu Yuena frowned and asked, "But... wasn't it said that the calamity was caused by a rebellion from the human Gods?"
"Hm?"
The two Dragon Kings exchanged glances, confusion on their faces.
Did sleeping make you stupid too?
"What are you talking about? Even if the human Gods rebelled, the Dragon God was a Supreme God King. He alone could have wiped out the entire Divine Realm. How could he possibly have let the humans succeed?"
The Ice Dragon King suddenly asked, "You two... don't know what really happened, do you?"
Di Tian shook his head blankly. "I had only just arrived at the battlefield then, and I saw Asura split Lord Dragon God in half. I didn't have time to think. I immediately pulled the Silver Dragon King away and ran."
The Ice Dragon King sighed. "Sigh... Let me tell you about that... tragic sequence of events."
"Baba... baba..."
"Baba... baba..."
After hearing everything, Di Tian and Gu Yuena were completely shaken. It felt as if their entire world had collapsed!
The source of it all had actually been the Dragon God himself?!
How could that be?
Seeing the two of them on the verge of collapse, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings did not know what to say.
If they did not know the truth, they would not even know whom to take revenge on. But now that they knew it, would they still seek revenge?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck the Fire Dragon King.
He shouted, "What are you panicking for?!"
"Does this mean we no longer take revenge?"
"Even if the Dragon God was guilty, were those human Gods innocent?"
"Even if the Dragon God personally killed several Dragon Clan God Kings, there were still many Dragon Clan Gods back then, along with many outstanding juniors. How could only four or five true dragons remain now?"
"The only possibility is that after we died, the human Gods exterminated the Dragon Clan!"
"How can such a blood feud go unavenged?!"
The Ice Dragon King also comforted them, "Silver Dragon King, Di Tian! Pull yourselves together. The Dragon Clan still needs you to restore it!"
Gu Yuena frowned, silently nodding.
She was the Dragon God's incarnation. How was she supposed to face the Dragon God in the future?
The Fire Dragon King's scolding snapped Di Tian awake. Holding back his tears, he said solemnly, "Uncle... I understand!"
The Fire Dragon King nodded. "Mm!"
"Oh, right. Because our dragon bones emit their aura here, quite a few spiritual herbs and Immortal Herbs have grown. Take them and use them to cultivate promising juniors!"
The Ice Dragon King looked around the empty valley and teased, "Haha, it seems you have all been quite conscientious!"
Di Tian gave an awkward smile.
