Indeed, the Human Clan of the Primordial World was weak now.
But once the Human Clan could cultivate, it would be able to ride the momentum and soar.
After all, the fortune of heaven and earth kept changing hands, yet in the end, it belonged to the Human Clan alone.
The Witch Clan and Demon Clan, now at the height of their glory, would merely meet the same end as the dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans of old.
Xu You saw things quite clearly, and his goals were very definite.
Transcendence came first. At the very least, he could go to the Haotian Heavenly Court, earn merit by supporting its rise, and claim a spot ahead of time.
In short, with his foreknowledge, his ending at least would not be too miserable.
"Besides, if I can't make it in the Primordial World, finding a way to become the boss in the Douluo World and trample Tang San would be pretty nice too."
Eventually, Chief Yu brought Gu Yuena to a rather refined-looking wooden house built entirely of solid timber.
It looked far more like a house than the shelter piled together from weeds before.
Gu Yuena breathed a sigh of relief, though the place where she had originally slept seemed to be inferior to a human house too.
But a dragon was a dragon. She could simply find somewhere to lie down.
Taking human form was different, though.
At least with a house, she could cultivate in comfort.
However, their chief bringing along a pretty little child naturally caught the attention of the other tribe members.
Everyone was curious about where this pretty child had come from.
"Who's that? Where did the chief bring such a pretty child from?"
"She's so pretty. She's so pretty she doesn't even seem much like us."
"She seems to have come from the Dragon King Temple. Could she be the Dragon King's child?"
"How dare you! Show no disrespect to the Dragon King!"
"Shh~ Have you heard? The Dragon King gave birth to a pretty little girl."
"What? The chief and the Dragon King had a little girl?"
"Hiss~ The chief, he~ actually~"
"Oh no, something terrible has happened!"
"The Dragon King and the chief's child-pah! No, the chief brought a child out of the Dragon King Temple, and now they've already gone to Sister Qing's room."
The woman sitting inside the house, draped in animal skins, frowned when she heard the news.
But before she could say anything, the young woman beside her immediately stood up.
"What? The wooden house?"
"That's my house!"
Who in the entire tribe did not know that the new house was the marital home for her and Shi, the tribe's current second-greatest warrior?
She was Qing, the shaman's daughter.
She was also the designated next venerable shaman.
Yet some little brat from who knew where was actually going to occupy her house?
"What gives her the right!"
Qing flew into a rage and rushed out after them, her face full of anger.
Chief Yu brought Gu Yuena into the room and also found two girls to look after her daily.
One was a little girl with a relatively gentle, diligent disposition, who could run errands and do odd jobs.
The other was older and more knowledgeable, and could teach this little girl a little.
Although the tribe had not yet developed things like writing, knowledge still needed to be passed down by word of mouth.
"Sui, Wan, from now on, you two will be responsible for this young lady's meals and daily needs here. You must not let the honored shaman suffer the slightest grievance."
The two bowed and accepted the order, but they were still somewhat puzzled.
They looked at the little girl before them.
Wasn't the chief being a little too respectful?
Could it be?
Was she really the Dragon King and the chief's-
Both girls blushed. No, no, it absolutely could not be that.
It was all the fault of the other girls in the tribe. What were they thinking about in those little heads all day? They had even corrupted the two of them.
Wait, shaman?
Both abruptly raised their heads and looked at the little girl before them.
Shaman?
Did you say shaman?
Hadn't the season for changing the tribe's shaman not arrived yet?
And wasn't the next shaman supposed to be the shaman's daughter?
Wasn't this child before them a little too young?
Meanwhile, in Aolai City.
Tang Wulin had originally been about to step in and save a little girl.
He kept feeling that the little girl seemed to share some fate with him.
Yet a flash of light flickered before him, and the pretty girl vanished on the spot.
The next moment, he too saw the images in the sky screen.
Tang Wulin's face filled with shock.
"Her? How did she end up in the sky?"
"Could she be a goddess?"
But after the girl disappeared and a giant dragon appeared in her place, everyone thought she had been eaten by the dragon.
Panic immediately gripped Tang Wulin's heart.
The Primordial World?
A true dragon?
The Ancestral Dragon?
What did any of this have to do with anything?
In Tang Wulin's world, the strongest was naturally Sea God Tang San, whose story of ascension to godhood they had been taught since childhood.
He had even thought he might see the legendary Sea God Tang San in the Divine Realm shown in the sky screen.
This seemed as though it might not be the Divine Realm, however.
Was that world stronger than Tang San?
But when the little girl appeared again, even the young Tang Wulin understood that she seemed to be some kind of Soul Beast.
Shocking~
In just a few short minutes, the little Tang Wulin had been profoundly shaken.
"The Ancestral Dragon Scripture?"
"If only I'd awakened a dragon Martial Soul instead of Blue Silver Grass."
Tang Wulin was filled with envy.
Just then, a gray fox's voice came from within his sea of consciousness.
A golden figure appeared before him.
"Young man, your Blue Silver Grass is the strongest Martial Soul."
Tang Wulin discovered in surprise that his surroundings had changed.
A humanoid golden light had also appeared before his eyes.
"Who are you? Where am I?"
Tang Wulin almost thought he was going to be sucked into the sky screen too.
The kind that specifically snatches children? Have I been chosen?
No! I haven't even said goodbye to Mom and Dad yet.
"I don't know who I am either." The golden figure pretended to look bewildered.
"I'm merely a strand of divine consciousness, one left behind specifically to guide you."
"You could call this your dream, or you could call it a part of your body."
Indeed, the relationship between father and son.
But Tang Wulin soon accepted it, and did not feel that the figure of light before him was someone who would harm him.
"You mean my Blue Silver Grass isn't a trash Martial Soul?"
"Of course!"
Tang San nodded. What a joke. This was the Blue Silver Emperor.
It was no trash Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
His own son certainly would not awaken a trash Martial Soul either.
Besides?
"You don't need to envy others. There's a giant dragon inside you too."
Following the direction of the golden light figure's finger, Tang Wulin finally discovered, to his astonishment, a vast hall with a hundred-meter-tall golden dragon floating at its very center.
Eighteen rings of light encircled its body.
"There's actually a giant dragon living inside my body."
Tang Wulin was shocked at first, then filled with secret delight.
Could I have twin Martial Souls? Is this dragon my Martial Soul too?
Although there was indeed the claim that Blue Silver Grass was not a trash Martial Soul, and that the Tang Sect's founding ancestor, Sea God Tang San, had attained godhood through his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
That was merely something to fool children with.
Anyone who knew even a little understood that Tang San did not have some trash Martial Soul.
Tang San explained, "This is a powerful force within your body. As long as you absorb it completely, you can even become a god."
Because of the sky screen, he had decided to reveal himself ahead of time.
To bring his ten-thousand-year plan forward.
He would!
Raise his son into a god!
