Noticing Gu Xuan staring at the Skydream Iceworm with such a fervent gaze, Di Tian spoke indifferently. "This fellow was something we discovered by chance in the ocean. My Lord said that although its cultivation has reached a million years, it lacks the strength and wisdom to match it. In a strict sense, it is considered a mutation."
"What is unique, however, is that the boundless energy within its body can be provided for us to absorb. Not only can it accelerate the increase of our strength, but it can also recover its energy on its own, making it a very decent cultivation accelerator."
Hearing Di Tian's words, the Skydream Iceworm had already greeted Di Tian's ancestors for eighteen generations in its heart. Yet, it foolishly pretended to be deaf and blind, hoping to win an opportunity to escape one day in the future.
Gu Xuan simply smiled upon hearing this. "This thing is not bad. I should have a use for it later."
Hearing Gu Xuan's words, the Skydream Iceworm thought to itself. 'As I suspected, this human is also jealous of my peerless beauty. He's actually thinking of utilizing me too...'
'Wait... "I"[1]? Is this human actually an emperor among humans? But how can he be so young?'
'His strength should be no weaker than Di Tian's! But how can such a young human possess such powerful strength?'
'What a pity... such powerful mental power and strength... sadly, he's too strong to be easily fooled. I'd better wait for a better opportunity...'
Gu Xuan was unaware of the Skydream Iceworm's internal monologue. He turned to Di Tian and said. "Let's go."
Di Tian nodded and led Gu Xuan further inside.
Passing through the main hall, Gu Xuan followed Di Tian to a special room. The room was roughly fifty square meters, and at the center of the ceiling was a hole five meters in diameter. Sunlight spilled through the hole, filling the entire room with brightness.
There were no extra decorations in the room, only countless crystals of different colors. Beneath the hole was a crystal-clear silver dragon-shaped crystal. As Di Tian and Gu Xuan entered the room, this dragon-shaped crystal emitted a faint ripple of soul power.
At this moment, Di Tian had already knelt on one knee, his right hand over his chest. "My Lord, this is Gu Xuan, the Sun Moon Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, the only empire on the Douluo Continent today."
Just as Di Tian's words fell, a beautiful figure quietly appeared within the silver-white dragon-shaped crystal. The entire dragon-shaped crystal seemed to come alive, becoming a body identical to that of a human.
Standing at 1.78 meters, dressed in a silver-white moon-crystal flowing immortal dress with wide sleeves, she possessed peerless features and a proud figure. This was the human form manifested by the Silver Dragon King using a wisp of her soul power.
The Silver Dragon King was barefoot, her snowy-white, jade-like feet hovering just off the ground as she looked Gu Xuan levelly in the eyes.
"Di Tian, pour the tea," the Silver Dragon King opened her lips slightly, her soft and elegant voice ringing out calmly.
Di Tian stood up and took out a set of luxurious table, chairs, and a tea set from his soul tool. Like a small servant, he began washing the tea set, boiling water, and brewing tea on the side. This was a tea ceremony Di Tian had learned from the human world, as human nobles liked to sip tea and discuss the Dao to appear superior.
Then, the Silver Dragon King extended a jade hand toward Gu Xuan, gesturing to the tea table. "Sun Moon Emperor, please."
Gu Xuan withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly. "It seems the Silver Dragon King has also learned many things from the human world. You haven't exactly been a shut-in."
Only after Gu Xuan took his seat did the Silver Dragon King slowly approach the opposite side of the table. Di Tian pulled out a chair for her, and she sat down gracefully.
"When I fled to the Douluo Continent back then, I also searched the human world for a period of time. However, I did not find a way to restore my vitality, so I eventually returned here to wait for the opportune moment." The Silver Dragon King did not hide anything, for Gu Xuan was the disciple of the Two Dragon Kings. In a sense, although Gu Xuan was human, his heart held half of the soul beast race.
Only by relying on the current Gu Xuan did their soul beast race have a chance to rise. Furthermore, given Gu Xuan's status as the disciple of the Two Dragon Kings, the Silver Dragon King chose to be even closer to him to maximize their mutual interests.
Gu Xuan nodded. "I have come to hear your thoughts."
Then, Gu Xuan continued. "Do you wish to live on as the Silver Dragon King, or as the Dragon God?"
Hearing Gu Xuan's words, Di Tian, who had been quietly brewing tea, suddenly snapped his head up, staring at Gu Xuan with burning eyes. The Silver Dragon King's beautiful eyes also watched Gu Xuan with uncertainty. She hadn't expected Gu Xuan to drop such a bombshell right at the start!
After a long silence, the Silver Dragon King sighed. "The Golden Dragon King is imprisoned in the God Realm. Even for you, rescuing it will not be that easy. Currently, you do not have enough bargaining chips."
Gu Xuan smiled slightly. "That is my business. You only need to tell me your thoughts. After all, you are the one cooperating with me now, so your thoughts are necessary to me."
Hearing the confidence in Gu Xuan's words, the Silver Dragon King's heart fluctuated. She understood how great a contribution and merit it would be to unify the soul beast and human races, but she did not understand why Gu Xuan was so confident. However, since Gu Xuan asked her to make a choice, she had no choice to make...
The Silver Dragon King shook her head slightly. "From the beginning, I had no choice. From the moment I appeared, there was none."
"You should know by now that the Golden Dragon King and I were originally one. But since we separated from the main body, we have been two independent individuals."
"The true Dragon God... no longer exists. This is also why those people in the God Realm would rather imprison the Golden Dragon King and let me escape."
"If a Dragon God falls, then no matter how much time passes, a new Dragon God will be born in the future. But if the Dragon God has not fallen, but instead exists in another way, then the true Dragon God will never appear again."
Hearing the Silver Dragon King's words, Gu Xuan nodded. "So, the root of why the God Realm split the Dragon God back then was here?"
"It seems their thoughts and methods were very successful. Since you are already a new individual, you naturally won't give up your own life, so the Dragon God will not manifest in this world."
The Silver Dragon King nodded, her expression somewhat somber. "Ultimately, it is because of the inherent selfishness of living beings. I understand their intent, but I cannot let go of my race."
However, she soon regained her composure and looked at Gu Xuan. "But while the Dragon God is gone, he can still exist."
Gu Xuan pondered in his heart and then said. "You mean that although you and the Golden Dragon King are separate individuals, you possess an ability similar to a Martial Soul Fusion Skill? As long as the Golden Dragon King can obtain freedom and you two work together, you can still possess the power of the Dragon God?"
The Silver Dragon King nodded. "You are very smart. But even if you are willing, those gods in the God Realm will not be."
"Since they separated us back then, they naturally won't allow us such an opportunity. Furthermore..."
At this point, the Silver Dragon King looked into Gu Xuan's eyes with a peculiar glint in her gaze. "Furthermore... you might not necessarily want to see our soul beast race possess such strength, right?"
