" Golden Dragon King?"
Ruan Mei shifted her gaze from the image of the Divine Realm's ruins. She had already heard Lin Yuan mention this name earlier, but at the time, her attention was focused on the relationship between the Soul Beast and the Divine Realm. Now that Di Tian had brought it up again, it was clear that this life suppressed in the Divine Realm was no ordinary being.
Looking at the shattered Divine Realm on the screen, Di Tian said in a deep voice, "In the end, the Dragon God War Dragon God was defeated by the gods of the Divine Realm and was split in two by the Asura God with the Asura Sword. The two powers wielded by the Dragon God were thus split. The one who inherited the powerful physical body, strength, and the aspect of destruction is the Golden Dragon King; the one who inherited the elemental control, spirit, and the aspect of creation is the Silver Dragon King."
Ruan Mei looked at Di Tian thoughtfully. "So, they are two independent life forms formed after the Dragon God split apart, or they can be understood as two incarnations of the Dragon God?"
"You could say that." Di Tian didn't dwell on the title. "The Golden Dragon King inherited the Dragon God's most powerful body and destructive power. After the Dragon God's fall, it was suppressed within the Divine Realm by the Divine Realm. The Silver Dragon King escaped the Divine Realm amidst the chaos, but she was also severely injured and has been recovering on Douluo Star all these years."
At this point, Di Tian's expression became noticeably more solemn. " The Silver Dragon King is our master, and also the common master of all Soul Beast. Whether the Soul Beast Clan can rise again in the future, we have always placed our hopes on our master."
Ruan Mei did not respond immediately, but instead retrieved the data previously recorded on the remains of the Divine Realm. A large amount of detection results were quickly displayed, and a set of life curves marked separately soon appeared before everyone.
"After discovering this wreckage, I did conduct a long-range life scan."
Di Tian immediately looked at the light screen.
Ruan Mei gently traced a line with her finger, and a section deep within the ruins of the Divine Realm rapidly expanded. There were no intact buildings visible; large swathes of space were severely distorted, and broken golden chains and numerous shattered energy crystals could be seen between the ruined temples.
"A very large life signal once existed here."
She retrieved the data she had left behind. The life curve, displayed on the screen, showed a stark difference from the life test results of Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and others.
"It possesses extremely vigorous vitality, and its physical strength far surpasses yours. What truly caught my attention was its highly peculiar life fluctuations. Violent and chaotic, it was constantly in a state of intense destructiveness, yet its life structure was exceptionally robust. During the scan, it was rapidly leaving that area, so I ceased tracking it."
Di Tian stared intently at the set of data.
Although he had never actually seen the Golden Dragon King, the inheritance from the depths of the dragon bloodline had already given him the answer.
"It's the Golden Dragon King."
Xiong Jun's expression changed slightly. "That guy really escaped from the Divine Realm?"
Lin Yuan wasn't surprised. The Divine Realm had already been reduced to such a wretched state, with even the Asura Sword broken in the ruins. It would be strange if the seal specifically used to suppress the Golden Dragon King remained intact. The real problem was where the Golden Dragon King went after leaving the Divine Realm, and what he planned to do.
Nguyen Mai, however, did not show much vigilance; she was more concerned about something else.
"The fact that after a life form splits, each inherits completely different life characteristics, and the two individuals can still exist independently for a long time, is a phenomenon that is of great research value."
Di Tian's eyelids twitched slightly upon hearing this.
Ruan Mei's gaze had returned to him. "You just said that the Silver Dragon King is currently on Douluo Star?"
"Good."
"May I meet your Soul Beast Lord?"
The laboratory fell silent for a moment.
Zi JI subconsciously looked at Di Tian. Xiong Jun also put away the shock he had felt when facing the ruins of the Divine Realm. The existence of the Silver Dragon King has always been the most important secret of the Soul Beast Clan. Even though they have now established a cooperation with Lin Yuan, it does not mean that anyone can easily enter the deepest part of the Lake of Life.
Ruan Mei, seemingly oblivious to their wariness, continued, "I'm very interested in both life forms that emerged after the Dragon God split, especially the Silver Dragon King. Since she's been recuperating since escaping back to Douluo Star from the Divine Realm, it means that injury has been lingering for a long time. As payment for this meeting, I can examine her."
Di Tian's expression changed instantly.
The Lord's wound has been there for far too long.
Over the years, the Silver Dragon King has spent most of her time slumbering in the depths of the Lake of Life, relying on the long years to recover from the injuries sustained in the Dragon God War. The Soul Beast Clan has no way to help her, and they don't even know how to treat injuries of that level.
But the woman before him was different.
Di Tian had just witnessed how Ruan Mei reshaped the crippled Luo Sanpao into a dragon egg, and he had also seen the changes that the power of " Permanence " brought to the structure of life. If she could really see the problem with the Silver Dragon King's injuries, even if it was just to speed up the recovery process, it would be an immeasurable help to the Soul Beast Clan.
Di Tian did not agree directly, but turned to look at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan naturally knew what he was worried about. Gu Yuena was still seriously injured, and allowing a newcomer she had only recently met to approach her was inherently risky. However, if Ruan Mei really wanted to do something, Di Tian and the others wouldn't be able to stop her at all. Moreover, if Gu Yuena could establish contact with Ruan Mei, it would only be more beneficial to the subsequent research on Soul Beast evolution.
He nodded slightly to Di Tian.
Di Tian then looked at Ruan Mei again. "I can report to the Lord on your behalf, but whether or not to meet must be decided by the Lord himself. Without the Lord's approval, even I cannot bring anyone into the place where she sleeps."
Nguyen Mai didn't mind. "Okay."
She refocused her attention on the life data displayed on the screen; clearly, the Golden Dragon King, who had just escaped the Divine Realm, had piqued her interest more than she was waiting for the Silver Dragon King's reply.
Meanwhile, deep within the universe, an enormous, astonishing golden figure is moving at high speed through the starry sky.
It was a colossal dragon covered in golden scales, its massive wings unleashing a ferocious power capable of tearing apart meteorites with each flap. However, it was far less powerful than it appeared. Several gruesome wounds marred its chest and abdomen, large patches of its golden scales were shattered, and golden blood seeped from the wounds, turning into droplets that drifted into the dark universe.
The Golden Dragon King glanced down at his injuries, and a fierce killing intent surged from his golden vertical pupils.
"Damn Asura, and Destruction!"
A deep, resonant dragon's roar echoed through the void.
It never imagined that after being suppressed for countless years, and finally breaking through the seal when the Divine Realm suffered an unprecedented blow, it would still pay such a price.
The terrifying woman wielding the long sword nearly shattered the entire Divine Realm. Both Asura and Destruction were already severely injured, but even after discovering that it had broken free of its seal, the two still risked further aggravating their injuries and forced to attack. Although the Golden Dragon King eventually broke out of the Divine Realm, he himself was also left with several wounds that would be difficult to heal in a short time.
The thought of that blade of light falling from the heavens above the Divine Realm sent a flicker of apprehension through the Golden Dragon King's eyes.
It didn't want to see that woman again.
At least not now.
The Golden Dragon King's massive body smashed through a floating meteorite in front of him, yet its speed did not decrease in the slightest. The Divine Realm had already suffered heavy losses; those once high and mighty gods were now either dead or wounded. There was no better time than now for the Soul Beast Clan to rise again.
However, before it can fight its way back, it has more important things to do.
" Silver Dragon King..."
The tyranny in the Golden Dragon King's eyes gradually transformed into a fiery intensity.
After the Dragon God was cut in two, it and the Silver Dragon King each inherited different powers from the Dragon God. As long as the Silver Dragon King can be found and the two Dragon Kings join forces again, the entire Soul Beast Clan will once again possess a core that can truly contend with the Divine Realm.
As for past divisions and grudges, they were utterly insignificant in front of Shinsuke.
"Find her first."
The Golden Dragon King raised its enormous head, sensing the extremely faint yet never completely lost connection deep within its bloodline.
"Taking advantage of the Divine Realm's severe damage, if we join forces, we can lead the Soul Beast Clan back to the Divine Realm."
It suddenly flapped its wings, and its enormous golden body transformed into a streak of light, plunging into the depths of the starry sea.
"This time, I will make the gods remember the name of the dragon race."
"The glory of the Dragon God should return."
