Gu Yuena wanted to flee!
As the dignified Silver Dragon King, she had her pride too!
How could she remain beneath another dragon for long?
Yet Xu You's killing intent was genuine. Otherwise, given how the Silver Dragon King held grudges...
If he really let her escape, who knew what might happen with her cunning and intelligence?
Not to mention if some mighty being captured her and learned of the Douluo World beyond the Primordial World.
Then things would be bad.
"I~"
Gu Yuena curled up her tail, her eyes holding stubbornness and a resolve to die rather than yield.
The Dragon God's dignity would not be profaned!
But the next second, the Law of Water encircled her.
A layer of mist gradually rose over her silver dragon body.
Gu Yuena trembled as she closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she discovered in astonishment that she seemed to have changed.
From merely controlling the elements, she had now instantly gained mastery over the Law of Water.
At the same time, the surrounding elemental laws no longer resisted her and instead became exceptionally active.
If the Silver Dragon King had a constellation, various unlit elemental attributes would be circling her body.
Now, the water attribute had been fully lit up.
She had mastered the Law of Water.
Looking at Gu Yuena's slightly bewildered eyes, Xu You was very satisfied.
Taking a disciple naturally called for showing off a little.
He understood the business of a big stick followed by a sweet date.
Having received the benefit, Gu Yuena had clearly relaxed her resistance a little.
This tiny benefit alone was worth ten thousand years of her arduous cultivation.
This, this, this~
"Hmm, disciple? Could it be that you still intend to betray your master and destroy your ancestors?"
Gu Yuena gave an involuntary shudder. How... how terrifying.
Even when the Dragon God had been cleaved in two with a single sword strike, she had never been this afraid.
Rather, ever since he had come into being, he had never experienced fear.
And now, she faced it.
"No! I cannot die!"
"I have yet to bring about the revival of the Dragon Clan. I absolutely cannot die!"
In the end, Gu Yuena lowered her proud head.
"Fine!"
But her claws dug firmly into the ground. She would remember this day.
She would remember this day's humiliation!
Fortunately, though, something set her mind at ease.
"This is the Primordial World, not the Douluo Continent. No one can see me in this wretched state."
Especially Di Tian. Gu Yuena could not imagine it.
If Di Tian saw his lord like this, he would probably find it difficult to accept.
"Whew~ fortunately, this is the Primordial World."
"When I return, I will still be the sovereign of all Soul Beasts!"
Having thought everything through, Gu Yuena finally lowered her proud head.
"I, Gu Yuena, am willing to bow to you as my master!"
No!
Don't!
Di Tian was dumbfounded.
He had originally thought his lord intended to subdue the other party.
And the result?
You were telling him his lord had been subdued!
"No!"
Boom!
A tremendous wave of force erupted, instantly sending all the other Soul Beasts around him flying.
Di Tian flew into a rage!
That was his lord.
The lord he had guarded for tens of thousands of years, in whom he had placed his hopes of leading the Soul Beast Clan back to its pinnacle.
She embodied his devotion to the Dragon God, whom he had once worshipped.
In his heart, his lord was the Dragon God.
But now!
My lord!
"Di Tian, calm down first." Bi Ji wanted to soothe Di Tian. This commotion would draw humans here.
But to Di Tian, this was no different from the sky collapsing.
The lord he revered above all others had actually been subdued!
This meant his tens of thousands of years of steadfast devotion, the Dragon God's mission, and his duty to revive the Dragon Clan...
Had all been destroyed at this moment.
Even ten thousand years ago, after losing to Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, he had still persevered.
It had all been for the Dragon Clan, for the Soul Beasts.
But with the lord he revered being subdued, how could Di Tian sit still?
His state of mind had completely collapsed.
"Ahem, Di Tian, don't worry. Perhaps our lord is sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall. Look at her." Beside him, the Hell Demon Dragon King, Zi JI, braved the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King's draconic might and approached Di Tian step by step.
She pointed at the changes in their lord within the screen in the sky.
Indeed, their lord had originally been quite powerful.
They had also imagined their lord sweeping through humanity and leading the Soul Beast Clan to revival.
But what about the Divine Realm?
Di Tian naturally had no brains. He understood that if the Divine Realm could finish off the Dragon God, even his lord recovering to her peak would not be enough to deal with the gods of the Divine Realm.
Not to mention that it would be difficult for their lord to recover to her peak.
Moreover, the present Soul Beast Clan was not the Dragon Clan that had once possessed the Ten Great Dragon Kings.
At most, they could contend with the Divine Realm, not take revenge.
But now, they could clearly sense that after their lord's humiliating submission...
Her strength had suddenly increased enormously.
The improvement far exceeded what she had gained from cultivating beneath the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest for ten thousand years.
"Our lord is cultivating in another unknown world. It looks like she's achieving twice the result with half the effort!"
"And we must believe that our lord is the Dragon God and possesses the Dragon God Bloodline. Although that unknown divine dragon appears to have a higher cultivation now..."
"We believe our lord will soon catch up and subdue that divine dragon in turn."
After Zi JI's counsel, Di Tian gradually calmed down.
After all, that was indeed the case. Having had the closest contact with his lord, he could naturally understand the changes in her now.
She had grown stronger.
"Whew~ yes, even I could tolerate humans for ten thousand years. For the revival of the Dragon Kingdom, what does this little humiliation amount to?"
"These are all hardships our lord must endure to return to her peak. I should be happy for her."
Yes, he should be happy.
But why did Di Tian feel like crying?
Looking at the subdued Gu Yuena, Xu You was in a good mood.
He had originally worried about being implicated by the Dragon Clan. Perhaps the best outcome would be for the Witch-Demon War to end and the Haotian Heavenly Court to be established.
Then he could seize the opportunity to seek a position in the Heavenly Court and find himself a job.
But the problem was that he was a dragon, while they were humans.
Just look at the Dragon Clan, once the protagonists of heaven and earth, then look at the future Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.
That made it clear that even submitting to the Heavenly Court did not amount to much.
There was simply no place for him.
Seek out a Sage and become his disciple?
Taiqing would be the best choice, fitting his desire to keep his head down, but Taiqing had very high requirements for disciples. He might not be accepted.
Yuanshi?
He liked innate beings. For someone like Xu You, he would only have disdain for a furred, horned creature. If Xu You went, he would probably be cut down on the spot and turned into a magic treasure.
Tongtian?
But his disciples were a mixed bag, with many burdened by grave karmic obstacles. Xu You already carried karma himself. Wouldn't joining be asking for trouble when he had none?
But things were different now.
He had Gu Yuena, a dragon from elsewhere.
He could change his place of origin and take on a whole new identity.
As for the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World discovering his outsider identity then, he could simply swear an oath that he was willing to contribute bricks and tiles to the development of the Primordial World.
That would be another great sum of merit.
It was not that the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World disliked outsiders or excluded them.
And outsiders loved stirring up trouble.
For example, the three thousand demon gods of old.
The Primordial World had, after all, been opened up by the great god Pangu. In Pangu's mind, everything was for stability.
Naturally, the rules of the Heavenly Dao were the same.
Developing and stabilizing the Primordial World was the mainstream.
It was precisely because of this that the Western Sages had been able to take out loans to attain Sagehood.
Naturally, he could too.
And he would do even better.
