Chapter 578 The Silver Dragon King Grants a Soul Ring.
"You haven't disappointed me."
The Silver Dragon King's first words made Xuan Mo frown. Her tone made it seem as if he were working for her. So, he retorted, "Everything I've done isn't for you."
The Silver Dragon King was taken aback, but quickly recovered.
"Heh, interesting. Very interesting."
Just then, the Ice and Fire Dragon King's illusory form, which had been motionless, suddenly moved. Two streams of energy emanated from their illusory forms, creating an invisible barrier in front of Xuan Mo.
"Silver Dragon King, don't go too far. To put it bluntly, Mo's relationship with you is only one of cooperation, not like Di Tian and the others, where he's your subordinate."
The fiery Fire Dragon King spoke first, followed by the Ice Dragon King's suggestion, "If you ask me, Silver Dragon King, you should transform into human form. Otherwise, this feeling of looking up to him isn't pleasant."
"Transform into human form? You actually want me to abandon my noble dragon body?" The Silver Dragon King looked at the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, a hint of confusion appearing in her purple dragon eyes. "You are the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings."
"But we must consider Mo's sake."
At this moment, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings seemed to be engaging in an invisible confrontation with the Silver Dragon King. As the Ice Dragon King's words fell, both sides fell silent, and the atmosphere in this space became subtle.
Just then, Xuan Mo moved. He actually stepped out of the energy barrier erected by the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, and instantly, an even stronger pressure than the Silver Dragon King's previous one suddenly descended upon him, almost causing him to kneel down.
However, facing this oppressive force, Xuan Mo gritted his teeth and withstood it. Seeing this, the Ice and Fire Dragon King revealed a hint of admiration.
"Silver Dragon King, I wonder what your purpose is in sending Di Tian here? But since you've sent me, I think it's only right that we communicate on equal terms."
"Equal communication?"
The Silver Dragon King's purple dragon eyes remained unmoved.
"Among us soul beasts, equal communication isn't so easy. We soul beasts only value strength, not so-called rules. You want equal communication? Fine. But first, you must withstand this pressure for ten breaths!"
As ten breaths passed, Xuan Mo began to tremble, sweat pouring down his forehead.
Just as Xuan Mo was about to give up, the Silver Dragon King's pressure gradually disappeared, and she said, "I'm injured, and my true form would be better for healing. However, since you can withstand it, temporarily transforming into human form is fine."
As the Silver Dragon King finished speaking, a silver-white light emanated from her body. When the silver light dissipated, a graceful figure appeared before Xuan Mo.
She was about 1.75 meters tall, with long silver hair, a flawless figure sculpted by the heavens, fair skin and jade-like bones, and a face as beautiful as a celestial being. Her purple eyes were filled with an indescribable mystery and nobility.
However, Xuan Mo was not fortunate enough to be faced with such beauty. After all, ten breaths of pressure were not easy to bear.
Only after the Ice and Fire Dragon King separated a wisp of energy and flowed into Xuan Mo's body did he, who was panting heavily, recover.
"It seems you're almost there."
"I'm fine." Xuan Mo clutched his chest, feeling his heart pounding like a pump. Though his face remained expressionless, his heart was far from calm. "Thanks to you."
After saying this, Xuan Mo looked at the Silver Dragon King, his expression earnest. "I want to know, why do you want to see me? And what exactly are you planning?"
"Why do I want to see you?" The Silver Dragon King sighed, his expression somewhat desolate. "In that case, it all started with the War of the Dragon Gods!"
"The War of the Dragon Gods?"
Xuan Mo naturally knew about this, but when the Silver Dragon King showed such a desolate expression, Xuan Mo felt a tremor in his heart. Clearly, her emotions could influence others, making them feel the same way.
So, he focused his mind and listened to the Silver Dragon King's story.
"I believe you've heard about the Dragon God War from the Ice and Fire Dragon King. It was precisely because of that defeat that we Soul Beasts and Divine Beasts were crushed by the gods, and the Soul Beasts, under the covert suppression of the gods, slowly declined to their current state, with no hope of becoming gods. Even after cultivating for millions of years, they are still excluded from the God Realm. And after Douluo Continent, they became prey for you Soul Masters!"
Looking at the Silver Dragon King before him, seemingly calm on the surface but filled with worry and concern for the Soul Beasts' future, Xuan Mo sensed the intense resentment and killing intent within her. He had to admit that the fate of Soul Beasts was indeed unfair. However, his heart remained unmoved, because after the Soul Beasts' defeat in the Dragon God War, this was their fate.
Conversely, if the Soul Beasts had won and the gods had been defeated, the positions of humans and Soul Beasts might be reversed. After all, with Soul Beasts in power, Xuan Mo didn't think humanity's fate could be any better. The law of the jungle prevailed.
The war between races is so real and cruel.
"I made a promise to Uncle Bing and Uncle Huo."
At this moment, Xuan Mo spoke up. His gaze towards the Silver Dragon King was very calm.
"Hmm?"
"I said before that they helped me become a god, so I will do my best to change the current status of soul beasts, including the God Realm. But if you ask me to seek so-called justice for soul beasts in the future, to counterattack the God Realm, and to occupy Douluo Star, you know in your heart that this is impossible. Even if I agreed, would you believe me?"
For a moment, the atmosphere was silent.
After a long time, "Human boy, you are very good."
The Silver Dragon King, in human form, came to Xuan Mo, the distance between them less than three inches.
Obviously, she was serious.
The two stared at each other for a full half cup of tea. Neither of them moved their eyelids.
Until...
"The purpose of me bringing you here is to give you a soul ring."
The Silver Dragon King suddenly withdrew her gaze, then transformed back into her dragon form and returned to her previous position, as if nothing had happened.
This immediately puzzled Xuan Mo.
But before he could finish his question, an earthy-yellow light emanated from the Silver Dragon King, enveloping him.
Sensing this energy flowing continuously within his body, Xuan Mo had no time to ask anything else. He could only sit cross-legged on the ground, concentrating on refining and guiding the energy…
After an unknown amount of time, Xuan Mo departed.
Within this space, the Silver Dragon King's voice reached Di Tian's ears, "This brat will change the status of soul beasts, but to achieve our goals, we still have to rely on ourselves…"
