Chapter 118: The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue
[You feel that the Douluo Plane has completely gone off the rails.]
[Soul beasts are becoming "Spirits" that you can understand.]
[Soul tools are being replaced by "future technology" that you can also understand.]
[But soul masters being completely gone? That, you absolutely cannot understand!]
[Most likely, due to temporal turbulence, too many low-level soul beasts perished. Without low-level soul beasts, soul masters had no way to obtain low-level soul rings, leading to a complete generational gap.]
[With a generational gap among soul masters and a generational gap among soul beasts as well, the world ultimately developed into what it is today.]
[You enter the city.]
[And then… You are arrested because you have no identification. You are considered an undocumented individual.]
[You do not resist. You follow the enforcement officers into an interrogation room.]
[Interrogating you is a purple-haired beauty. She asks; you answer. You cooperate fully.]
["So… you are that God King from twenty-five thousand years ago?"]
[You nod.]
[Purple-haired beauty: "…."]
[News of you quickly reaches the ears of humanity's upper echelon.]
[Human society nearly experienced a total break, yet your story was perfectly preserved.]
[You are a miracle of the soul master world, an object of modern academic research. Many believe your legend sounds fabricated.]
[In the legends, soul power must be cultivated step by step, so how did you rise so quickly?]
[Humanity's leadership arranges to meet you.]
[The one who arrives is a silver-haired, purple-eyed woman of breathtaking beauty and tall stature.]
[The two of you exchange a glance, neither speaking.]
[The sovereign of all soul beasts, the Silver Dragon King, has actually become one of humanity's leaders.]
[You can only feel that this is utterly absurd.]
[The Silver Dragon King looks at you in slight surprise. With a single glance, she confirms your identity and… your bloodline. You have devoured the Golden Dragon King.]
[If she were to devour you, she might very well become a new Dragon God.]
[The thought flashes through her mind for only a moment before she dismisses it.]
[Life now is good for humans and for soul beasts alike. The only inconvenience is that every few decades, she must change her identity.]
[Whether the Dragon God returns or not is no longer important to the soul beast race.]
[You exchange a few awkward words with the Silver Dragon King. Your pursuits now follow two entirely different paths.]
[You seek a higher realm. She, however, is already satisfied. What she desires is peace without war.]
[Soul beasts and humans have perfectly integrated, becoming partners.]
[This life she does not wish to change.]
[She asks about your purpose. You spread your hands and frankly explain your intentions.]
[Originally, you intended to bring Douluo Star back to its original position. But now, Douluo Star has developed even better than before. There is no need to return it, so you abandon that idea.]
[You merely wish to stroll around Douluo Star and experience a different Douluo Continent.]
[The Silver Dragon King nods. Under her guarantee, you leave the interrogation room and board her exclusive flying vehicle.]
[With your divine sense, you could already perceive the differences of Douluo Star. But you want to see it with your own eyes, not merely sense it spiritually.]
[You arrive in a certain city. The two of you step out of the vehicle.]
[The moment you step down, you step on a stack of "paper." The Silver Dragon King looks at you in astonishment.]
[She tells you that found items must be returned to their owner, especially money. A lot of money.]
[You picked up a full ten thousand Empire Coins. The person who lost it must be frantic…]
[You: "…."]
Wang Li: "..."
[You have picked up quite a few Gold Soul Coins before and rarely returned them. Who would have thought that upon picking up ten thousand Empire Coins, you would have to return them?]
[You sigh. Society has developed too quickly. For a god blessed with absurd luck like you, there is no longer much room to operate.]
[You slightly turn your head and spot a lottery shop. You pause.]
[You seem to smell opportunity. You borrow one hundred Empire Coins from the Silver Dragon King. Though puzzled, she hands them to you.]
[Under her astonished gaze, you walk into the lottery shop. It looks almost identical to the lottery shops from your previous life.]
[Scratch off the coating—99.9% of the time, you win nothing. Money down the drain.]
[After asking a few questions, you purchase two fifty Empire Coin scratch tickets.]
[To avoid suspicion, you don't even choose them yourself; you let the owner pick for you.]
[The Silver Dragon King looks utterly dumbfounded. The way she looks at you is as if she were staring at a fool.]
[These scratch tickets do indeed have a grand prize, but the odds are laughably low.]
[If not for the existence of that grand prize, the Empire would have shut this business down long ago.]
[You casually hand one ticket to the Silver Dragon King, saying it's to repay the money.]
[She spreads her hands, speechless. She never expected you to repay the hundred Empire Coins.]
[After all, you are a God King-level powerhouse. Surely you wouldn't need to work to repay a debt?]
[She scratches it absentmindedly, merely playing along with you…]
[???]
[Seeing the words "100,000 Empire Coins" appear, the Silver Dragon King blinks, utterly incredulous.]
[You don't notice her expression. You scratch off your own ticket…]
[Carrying a suitcase full of Empire Coins, you walk out of the lottery shop with the Silver Dragon King. The owner sends you off with tears in his eyes.]
[He personally handed out a grand prize of 1.1 million!]
[Decades of hard work wiped out in a single night.]
[The Silver Dragon King now goes by the name Gu Yue. She looks at you carrying the suitcase and finally can't hold back.]
["Has your luck always been this good?"]
[She can confirm you used no tricks. As one of the Dragon God's incarnations, she can absolutely discern such things.]
[Picking up money. Hitting the jackpot. It's all far too bizarre.]
[You do not hide anything and answer frankly.]
["It has always been like this."]
[Gu Yue falls silent. This is the first time she has ever seen a god like you.]
[You and Gu Yue share a meal. When you go to pay, the restaurant owner informs you that you are their tenth-thousandth customer. Not only is your meal free, but you may also draw a grand prize.]
[Gu Yue's eyelid twitches. She casts a somewhat sympathetic glance at the owner.]
[You casually draw a prize. The light in the owner's eyes fades away…]
[You do not take the prize you won. The free meal is enough. Having so much money is useless to you anyway.]
[For you, it is merely entertainment.]
[You and Gu Yue are both god-level beings. Your lifeforms are beyond mortal comparison.]
[You are so handsome that you barely seem human. Her beauty is even less like that of a human. Wherever the two of you walk, you become a moving scenic masterpiece.]
[No short-sighted ordinary person dares to disturb you. Or perhaps some do, but due to your heaven-defying fortune, before they can even reach you, they are already dealt with by circumstance.]
[Even someone like Tang San, a so-called "protagonist," could barely stand steady before you. Before fighting you, he would even kneel and kowtow first. One can imagine just how terrifying your destiny truly is.]
[You refined the Golden Dragon King and thus possess a natural attraction toward Gu Yue. Combined with the fact that you are already a legend…]
