Hearing the Silver Dragon King's words and seeing her expression, the smile on Gu Xuan's face remained unchanged, showing no intention of avoiding such a topic.
"If I were just an ordinary person, I naturally wouldn't want the soul beast race to possess such strength. But unfortunately, my future will not be confined to this place."
"If what you say is true, then as long as the Golden Dragon King has the same level of awareness as you, I will allow it to return to the Dragon Clan."
At this point, Gu Xuan's tone lowered slightly. "But if it fails to see the big picture, it should be possible to find someone to replace its power, right?"
Hearing Gu Xuan's words, the Silver Dragon King's eyes first lit up, then dimmed again.
She was willing to believe Gu Xuan, but the Golden Dragon King, who inherited the Dragon God's rebellious and untamable personality, might not be. If that were the case, even if someone else mastered the Golden Dragon King's power and could fuse with her to become the Dragon God, would that Dragon God still belong to the soul beast race?
From Gu Xuan's perspective, she felt his decision was sound, but from her own perspective, it posed a major problem.
She could be close to Gu Xuan, even let him utilize her slightly, but she absolutely did not want to be controlled by him, as those were two entirely different concepts.
Fortunately, everything was currently just an ideal, as Gu Xuan did not yet possess that kind of strength. However, this ideal future was not entirely favorable to her.
Although the status and strength of the soul beast race would be much greater than they were now, and they would escape the nightmare of being unable to achieve Godhood, she might end up being restrained by Gu Xuan.
As for Gu Xuan's inexplicable confidence, while the Silver Dragon King still found it hard to believe, everything he had demonstrated implied that he was not making empty boasts.
The Silver Dragon King pondered for a long time before finally speaking slowly, "Then let us see if Your Majesty has that capability. If you do, we wouldn't have the strength to resist even if we wanted to. If you don't, all of this is just empty talk."
Gu Xuan nodded upon hearing this. "What you say is true. We shall see what the final outcome is."
"However, since I know your thoughts, the subsequent matters shall proceed according to my arrangements."
Pausing, Gu Xuan continued. "You won't be on the losing end."
By then, Di Tian's tea was brewed, and he poured a cup for Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan picked up the teacup, took a light sip, and nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad. This is the flavor my old man likes."
The Silver Dragon King smiled slightly and looked at Di Tian. "Prepare a portion for His Majesty to take back."
Di Tian felt quite helpless upon hearing this. This tea was a spiritual tea specially grown in the center of the Lake of Life; it had the effect of calming the mind and centering the spirit for a Soul Master's cultivation. The annual yield was only ten catties.
Although Di Tian didn't understand much about tea tasting or the tea ceremony, he drank this stuff often. Giving a portion to Gu Xuan meant he would have less to drink in the future. But there was no helping it; his Lord had spoken, and he had to comply.
Noticing Di Tian's fleeting micro-expression, Gu Xuan smiled. "I won't take your things for nothing. I've already thought of a path for you; there will be plenty of benefits for you in the future."
Hearing this, Di Tian's expression shook. He immediately took out an exquisite, large jar from his soul tool and handed it to Gu Xuan, laughing. "Your Majesty misunderstands. The annual yield of this tea is only ten catties; I was worried this amount wouldn't be enough for you to take back and enjoy."
Gu Xuan took the jar and ignored Di Tian, instead saying to the Silver Dragon King. "The power you need to restore your origin is too vast. I will need the energy at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well when I achieve Godhood, so your matter needs to be put aside for now."
"But rest assured, once I achieve Godhood, I will restore your origin and take you away from the Douluo Continent to the God Realm."
"At that time, with your strength, being a 1st Class God shouldn't be a problem. However, the issues of the soul beast race are not as simple as they appear on the surface. In the future, I need you to become the Co-Ruler of Soul Beasts. Whether on the continent or in the sea, all soul beasts must be within your control."
Hearing Gu Xuan's words, the Silver Dragon King was first delighted, but her expression turned somewhat bitter toward the end.
"It's not that I won't agree, but this matter is not simple," she said bitterly. "Governing the soul beasts on the continent is no problem, but the sea regions are difficult. The sea is too vast, and the strength of land soul beasts is greatly restricted in the ocean. This won't be easy to accomplish."
Then, as if remembering something, she suggested. "However, you can operate it as you do on land. You can support a powerful soul beast in the ocean to work for you. Isn't your wife the Sea God's successor? This matter shouldn't be difficult for her."
Gu Xuan nodded. This was indeed a good method. Just as the Silver Dragon King said, the soul beast territory was much larger than the human map, especially the sea, which was several times the size of the land.
However, there was truly no better way at the moment, so this was the only option.
Looking at the Silver Dragon King's exquisitely curved body, Gu Xuan's expression suddenly shifted. He had been so focused on discussing business that he had forgotten to appreciate her beauty.
Noticing the change in Gu Xuan's clear eyes, the Silver Dragon King's expression became somewhat unnatural.
"What... what are you looking at?" she asked.
Gu Xuan did not hide it at all and said directly. "I'm thinking about something. Although this body is condensed from your soul power and soul energy with the help of crystals, will your true human form after transformation be the same?"
Hearing Gu Xuan's somewhat frivolous words, the Silver Dragon King's expression turned slightly cold. "What does Your Majesty mean? I know you human emperors enjoy your harems, but if Your Majesty is turning your thoughts toward me, I suggest you give up. I..."
Before she could finish, Gu Xuan continued, "I wonder what the talent of the offspring born from the union of a soul beast and a human would be like... No... that's not right..."
When the Silver Dragon King heard the words about producing offspring, she was ready to kick him out. Although her strength might not be a match for the current Gu Xuan, she knew he wouldn't make a move against her now.
After all, Gu Xuan currently lacked the ability to overturn the alliance between soul beasts and humans. As for later... even if Gu Xuan's strength became transcendent, that was a matter for the future. If Gu Xuan insisted on doing that to her, she might sacrifice herself for the prosperity of the soul beast race.
Gu Xuan's strength and talent were top-tier, but since she hadn't had much contact with him, it was hard to develop feelings in such a short time. If Gu Xuan were willing to slowly get to know her, she didn't think it was so unacceptable.
But then she heard him say, "That's not right," so she couldn't help but ask. "What's not right?"
Gu Xuan smiled slightly and explained. "I think I should know how the talent of offspring from a soul beast and human union turns out."
Gu Xuan thought of Tang San. Even without any "cheats," Tang San's talent as a twin martial soul possessor was top-tier on the continent; Bibi Dong was the best example of this. And the talent of Gu Xuan and the Silver Dragon King was absolutely at its peak among humans and soul beasts. Their offspring's talent would certainly be extraordinary.
Gu Xuan explained the matter of Tang San to the Silver Dragon King. Her expression changed instantly after hearing it.
What "not right"? You were actually thinking about that?!
By now, Di Tian had already exited the room because he didn't dare listen to these things. Although Gu Xuan's words were flirtatious toward his Lord, since she hadn't said anything, he—as a subordinate—needed to have some situational awareness.
Moreover, Di Tian was thinking that if the Lord could be with Gu Xuan, it seemed like it would be a good thing for both her and the soul beast race...
