The Goddess of Life's Revenge Never Waited Overnight, and the Price of the Under-the-Table Deal
"First, the Small World formed after your deaths would be given to the human child named Yun Duo. At the same time, I would help him fuse his Time Domain and Space Domain together, creating the even more powerful Spacetime Domain."
"Second, his safety would be protected until that human child became a god. However, because our Dragon Race was being watched too closely by those people in the God Realm, Life and I ultimately chose the Heavenly Snow Woman in the north, who had been born and raised by Douluo Star itself, to act as his protector."
"Third, after that human child named Yun Duo became a god, he would create a new God Realm on Douluo Star. At that time, he would help abolish the rule established by the Dragon God that the Soul Beast Race could not become gods."
"Fourth, after that human child created a new God Realm, our Dragon Race and the Soul Beast Race could only ascend to godhood within the New God Realm. We could not return to the Dragon God Divine Realm created by the Dragon God in the past."
"Fifth, as the ones making the contribution, our Dragon Race and the Soul Beast Race could obtain three God King Divine Positions and several First-Level God Divine Positions. However, since the Heavenly Snow Woman of the north would be acting as the protector, Life and I discussed it and decided that one of the God King Divine Positions would belong to her."
"Sixth, and most importantly, whether it was the New God Realm where our Dragon Race and the Soul Beast Race resided, or the Old God Realm currently controlled by the five God Kings, neither side could wage war against the other. Likewise, if the God of Heavenly Calamity, Austin Griffin, truly returned someday, both sides had to support each other unconditionally."
"As for the price, it was me. And, if necessary, the Golden Dragon King would be made to disappear completely."
Faced with the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King's questions, Gu Yuena slowly revealed the terms of her deal with the Goddess of Life.
"Heh. In the end, Life's intentions amounted to only two things. First, she wanted our Dragon Race and the Soul Beast Race to protect that human child called Yun Duo until he became a god. She also intended to bind us permanently to the New God Realm, preventing our Dragon Race and the Soul Beast Race from returning to the Dragon God Divine Realm and triggering another civil war."
"Second, the first five terms of this deal were all preparations for the sixth. Life was guarding against the possibility that the God of Heavenly Calamity, Austin Griffin, would truly return. She wanted to gather every bit of available strength and build a line of defense made up of God Kings and numerous First-Class Gods.
"Should I say this is exactly your usual style, Life?"
After hearing the Silver Dragon King's words, the Ice Dragon King leisurely spoke toward a certain direction.
"My, my, it has been so long, Little Water, Little Fire. Did you two miss Sister Life?"
At that moment, the Goddess of Life suddenly appeared at the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, thousands of meters deep.
"Hm? Life, why did you come down here?"
Seeing the Goddess of Life appear so suddenly, Gu Yuena could not help but frown slightly, a trace of barely perceptible wariness flashing through her eyes.
"Hmph, it really has been a long time, Life!"
"But then again, Life, what exactly are you thinking? Are you really not afraid that those people in the God Realm will find out what you have done?"
Unlike the Silver Dragon King's wariness toward the Goddess of Life, the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King greeted her like old friends.
"Ah, Little Water, although we stood on different sides back then, we sisters have known each other for tens of thousands of years. Surely you did not expect me to just watch you die. Of course, the same goes for Little Fire. We were comrades once, after all."
"Besides, the two of you must already know why the Dragon God suddenly went mad back then. Given the circumstances, you cannot possibly still be thinking of reviving the Dragon God, can you?"
"And even if you revived the Dragon God, all you would bring back would be a madman without reason but with overwhelming combat strength. Even if you wanted to revive him, the others in the God Realm would never agree. You should give up on that idea."
At this point, the Goddess of Life ignored the Silver Dragon King's wariness and tried to dissuade the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King like an old friend.
Likewise, seeing that the Ice Dragon King had already fallen and only her Divine Soul remained, the Goddess of Life recalled the pure and innocent years of friendship she had shared with the Ice Dragon King before the Dragon God went mad.
Of course, that only applied to Life, Kindness, the Ice Dragon King, Wind Dragon King, Dark Dragon King, and Time Dragon King, the female friends among them who had reached the God King Realm.
"Mm, enough, Life. In the end, no matter whether Father God would retain his reason after revival or go mad, you would never allow us the chance to revive Father God. What is more, the price demanded by your deal with the Silver Dragon King is to kill the Golden Dragon King, making it impossible for Father God to ever revive completely."
"Ah, Life, we have been sisters for many years and understand each other well. Little Fire and I have already fallen, so I do not want to say much more. As your younger sister, I only ask one thing of you: please take care of the Silver Dragon King. Although she is Father God's other half, she appeared later and can be considered a junior of our Dragon Race."
Faced with the Goddess of Life's well-intentioned persuasion, the Fire Dragon King understood her true intentions and bluntly retorted.
Unlike the Fire Dragon King's volatile temper, the Ice Dragon King was more rational. After learning the Dragon God's true condition, she no longer held any hope for his return.
Just as the Silver Dragon King and Goddess of Life had said, there was no meaning in reviving a Dragon God without reason, whose mind contained nothing but madness and brutality.
If the Dragon God were truly revived, he might even slaughter the Dragon Race and the Soul Beast Race to extinction in his madness.
"Heh, Little Water and Little Fire, neither of you need to think about reviving the Dragon God. Likewise, the Golden Dragon King, who inherited not only the Dragon God's formidable strength and speed but also his mad and savage side, will never see the light of day again."
"Likewise, to prevent the God Realm from ever again suffering the civil war caused by the Dragon God's madness, it would be best for the Golden Dragon King to disappear if necessary. As for you, Little Water, and Little Fire having already fallen, that is easy to solve. Does the Silver Dragon King not still have two God King Divine Positions? They can go to the two of you. We are all old acquaintances, after all."
As she said this, the Goddess of Life secretly reveled in it. Take that, Silver Dragon King. You made me lose face in front of my little brother before, and now I finally have a chance to get revenge.
Rather than giving the God King Divine Position to the Silver Dragon King's subordinate, she might as well give it to the Ice Dragon King, a good sister she had known for many years.
Of course, the Fire Dragon King was simply included along the way.
