Just as Yun Duo was explaining a few things to Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling...
At the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, beneath the Red-and-White Mandarin Duck Pot, a spatial gate silently opened in its depths.
As the spatial gate opened, a tall woman in a white gown stepped out. Her features were cold and exquisitely beautiful, and she looked like an immortal maiden untouched by the mortal world.
The newcomer was none other than the Silver Trash Dragon who had previously hidden in the shadows to eavesdrop and struck a backroom deal with the Goddess of Life—the very Silver Trash Dragon the Goddess of Life had mentioned.
She was Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, one of the Dragon God's two avatars and the greatest public enemy of the Douluo God Realm. At the same time, she was the sovereign of all Soul Beasts.
"You carry Father God's aura. You must be the Silver Dragon King—the other half of Father God that the child mentioned earlier..."
At the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, more than a thousand meters deep, two voices filled with surprise and weakness rang out in the silent, enclosed space.
"Yes, I am the Silver Dragon King. You two must be the Divine Souls of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King."
Upon discovering that the Divine Souls of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King had not yet fully dissipated, Gu Yuena's expression brightened as she hurriedly asked.
"Yes, that's right. But then again, why are your injuries so severe?"
"And where is the Golden Dragon King, the other half of Father God that the child mentioned? How is our Dragon Race doing now?"
Facing Gu Yuena's questions, the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King readily confirmed their identities.
Likewise, after noticing the severe injuries covering Gu Yuena's body, the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King began asking about what had happened after their deaths.
"After the Asura God split the Dragon God into the Golden Dragon King and me, the Golden Dragon King inherited not only the Dragon God's immense strength and speed, but was also affected by that drop of blood containing a frenzied and violent will."
"At the time, the Golden Dragon King had completely descended into madness and had no reason left. Although I inherited half of the Dragon God's power and his rationality, I was powerless to stop the civil war in the God Realm while we were attacked from both sides."
"In the end, I had no choice but to lead some old subordinates out of the God Realm. But the final result was that the Golden Dragon King was defeated and imprisoned by the God Realm. Whether he lived or died remained unknown."
"As for these injuries, they were inflicted when the Asura God pursued me. As for the Dragon Race... other than Di Tian and me, none of our old companions remained."
In response to the Ice Dragon King's and Fire Dragon King's questions, Gu Yuena recounted everything about the war against the God Realm and her desperate escape.
Yet when she spoke of how only Di Tian and she remained of the Dragon Race, her exquisite, beautiful face was filled with loneliness and pain.
Back when the Dragon God led them, their Dragon Race had been unimaginably powerful, with countless descendants of exceptional talent.
But now, even including the Divine Souls of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, only a scattered handful remained.
"The Asura God..."
"Alas, it was fate."
"Faced with an existence beyond all standards like the God of Heavenly Calamity, Austin Griffin, it was no wonder Father God suddenly went mad after being affected by a single drop of his blood."
After hearing the name of the Asura God, their formidable enemy, and recalling that the Dragon God had been driven mad by a drop of blood from the God of Heavenly Calamity, Austin Griffin, the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King fell into deep silence.
Had they not sensed the aura of the Goddess of Life, their enemy, along with the Dragon God's aura—that of the Silver Dragon King—today, their Divine Souls, which had long fallen asleep, would not have been awakened. Nor would they have learned the truth.
With that thought in mind, the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King continued asking.
"Then what are you planning to do now? Since you did not fight the Goddess of Life above, you must already have made arrangements."
Gu Yuena gave a self-deprecating smile before answering.
"Heh, arrangements and plans?"
"Just as that human child named Yun Duo said, our Dragon Race and the Soul Beast Race have become mortal enemies with the God Realm. Likewise, there is no longer any place for us in the God Realm."
"Even the Dragon God himself could not withstand the effects brought by that drop of blood from the God of Heavenly Calamity, Austin Griffin. Even if the Golden Dragon King and I reunited and resurrected the Dragon God, we would likely only repeat the same tragedy."
"Besides, I suspect that after the Dragon God realized he had been corrupted, he himself must have known of the God of Heavenly Calamity, Austin Griffin—an existence beyond all standards."
"After all, the Dragon God had once obtained the inheritance of the Primordial Five Tais. He had also reached the realm of the Primordial Five Tais. Otherwise, the Dragon God would never have established rules that doomed our entire Dragon Race and Soul Beast Race."
"Perhaps the Dragon God never intended to be resurrected. And if the Dragon God cannot be resurrected, then our Dragon Race and Soul Beast Race have no ability to fight our way back into the God Realm. Since that is the case, why should we do something so thankless?"
After hearing the Silver Dragon King's words, the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King once again fell into deep silence. They knew in their hearts that what she said was very likely true.
Even if the Dragon God returned through resurrection, it would only mean repeating the same tragedy.
Then there were the rules the Dragon God had established before his death, rules that had doomed the entire Dragon Race and Soul Beast Race.
It was obvious that the Dragon God had known of the God of Heavenly Calamity, Austin Griffin, that transcendent existence.
A moment later, the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King exchanged a glance before speaking to the Silver Dragon King.
"Alas, no matter what, only you and that boy Di Tian remain of our Dragon Race. First, you must ensure that the Dragon Race can survive and reproduce. As for the future, we can discuss it later."
"Do not worry. I have my own arrangements for the survival and reproduction of our Dragon Race. Likewise, I have already made plans for the future of our Dragon Race and the Soul Beast Race."
"You should know why I came down here this time. Earlier, I made a deal with the Goddess of Life: the Small World formed after your deaths would be given to the child named Yun Duo, while I would gather your remains. At the very least, I cannot let your corpses lie exposed in the wilderness."
In response to the Ice Dragon King's and Fire Dragon King's suggestion, the Silver Dragon King gently shook her head and explained both her purpose in coming down here and the deal she had made with the Goddess of Life above.
"What are the terms of the deal? What is the price?"
The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King curiously asked about the deal between the Silver Dragon King and the Goddess of Life.
