[Elf Planet]
Deep Within the Spirit Beast Paradise
Golden vertical pupils snapped open, followed by a colossal black dragon raising its head toward the source of the bloodline resonance.
"That's... our master!"
This black dragon was none other than the most cursed member of the Spirit Beast clan—the diligent leader of the clan, Ditian.
Just moments ago, Di Tian had sensed an aura he hadn't felt in hundreds of thousands of years—the aura of the Dragon God.
Not the Golden Dragon King or the Silver Dragon King, but the Dragon God—the complete and utter Dragon God!
"Di Tian, has the Master returned?"
A mature, beautiful woman with emerald-green hair hurried over at the sound. Ditian, still feeling that aura, was filled with excitement.
"The aura I sense isn't the Silver Dragon King, but the Dragon God himself!"
Di Tian transformed into a man clad in black-gold battle robes, his hair black and eyes golden. Bi Ji froze for a moment before comprehending.
"Di Tian, you're not mistaken, are you?! Didn't the Dragon God perish long ago?"
"Absolutely not! I served His Majesty for over a hundred thousand years. I would never mistake His aura. I must go find him now!"
With that, Di Tian rushed off in excitement. Bi Ji couldn't keep up, and soon he arrived at the Elf Tribe.
"Beast God, what brings you to our Elf Tribe?"
Just as Di Tian prepared to enter and trace the source of the connection, a pink-haired elf woman wearing a crown approached him.
"Elf Queen, I have sensed a bloodline resonance and come seeking the ruler of my Spirit Beast clan."
"The ruler of the Spirit Beast clan?"
The Elf Queen looked utterly bewildered, then seemed to realize something. Could the ruler of the Spirit Beast clan be none other than the Silver Dragon King?
The elves were well aware of the long-standing feud between humans and soul beasts. Could it be that the ruler of the spirtit beasts had truly returned?
"Indeed, Queen of the Elves. I mean no offense. I only seek to find the ruler of my spirit beast clan before returning."
Seeing this, the Queen of the Elves nodded in agreement. As long as Di Tian did not harm her people, allowing him to search for someone was acceptable.
With the Queen's permission, Ditian entered the elven tribe to search, the Queen following close behind.
After all, Di Tian possessed god-tier combat prowess—though not quite a god himself, he rivaled the divine.
For her people's safety, the Queen had to keep watch over Di Tian, lest any mishap occur.
Di Tian spread his divine sense outward, immediately dismissing any elves of his own kind.
How could dragon god bloodlines possibly appear in an elf? Ultimately, Di Tian locked onto the small figure of a young elf running a potion shop.
Following Di Tian's gaze, the Elf Queen also spotted Gu Xun selling healing potions.
"This youngster suddenly appeared in the elf tribe yesterday. One of our kin found him and brought him here. Word has it he's a prodigious Spirit master with innate full spirit power and dual martial spirits."
"Suddenly appeared..."
Hearing the elf queen's explanation only solidified Ditian's suspicion. Yet the notion of dragon god bloodline manifesting in a human child left him deeply perplexed.
How could the Dragon God's bloodline manifest in a human? Was that even possible?
Meanwhile, Gu Xun had earned some Federation currency from selling potions. He hadn't expected the elves to use Federation coins either.
He'd assumed they'd barter goods instead. Pulling out a storage spirit-guided device, he placed the coins inside. Glancing at the sky outside, he decided it was time for lunch.
With that thought, he temporarily closed his shop and began eating some food he'd taken out from inside.
Just as Gu Xun was eating, a massive hand appeared silently, grabbing his shoulder as a surge of spirit power probed inward.
Gu Xun startled violently, summoning the Heaven-Supporting Spear with a flick of his wrist. Gripping the spear, he swung it backward with all his might.
However, the owner of the hand was repelled by the nine-colored dragon scales that flared up on Gu Xun's body.
Gu Xun's Heaven-Supporting Spear struck empty air. Rising to his feet, he glanced warily behind him and saw a burly figure with an excited expression.
"Who goes there!"
Gu Xun demanded immediately, only to see the imposing figure before him kneel on one knee in an excited salute.
"Emperor Tian, Chief of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon Clan, greets the Dragon God Sovereign!"
Gu Xun was utterly dumbfounded upon hearing this. Wait... the leader of the Spirit Beast faction? Oh, he's relocated? Well, that's fine then.
Yet Di Tian's heart churned with turmoil. He sensed the bloodline of the First Dragon God coursing through Gu Xun's veins—pure and innate, as if born with it.
Unlike Tang Wulin's tainted bloodline, this was the complete, unadulterated essence of the First Dragon God.
Moreover, as the Dragon God's personal guard commander, Di Tian naturally knew certain things about the Dragon God.
For instance, after the Dragon God's death, he did not perish completely but transformed into the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings.
Ultimately, even if the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings were to die, the Dragon God would not cease to exist. Instead, he would reappear in a form akin to reincarnation.
The near-simultaneous loss of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, and the blood-stealer Tang Wulin suggested they had perished together.
Should either the Gold Dragon King or Silver Dragon King fall alone, they would reincarnate as the solitary Gold or Silver Dragon King.
Their simultaneous demise, however, made it highly probable they would jointly reincarnate as a new Dragon God. The figure before them could thus be considered the Dragon God's reincarnation.
