Chapter 22 Half-Step God King! Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena Selected for Perfect World
"Have you heard? There's a Soul Master family in Notting City who exchanged all their possessions for storage Soul Tools, stuffing them full of salt, sugar, and glass beads!"
"Are you crazy? Don't you want to live a normal life anymore?"
"Who knows? But next time, the newcomers will be 'enhanced and adapted.' If we go, we might actually be able to crush the natives!"
Fear and greed are intertwined.
The shadow of the first explorers' tragic deaths had not yet faded.
The allure of the second batch of slots hung like a sword over our heads.
Countless Soul Masters began frantically hoarding supplies.
The price of storage soul tools has skyrocketed.
It has transformed from an auxiliary tool into a strategic resource.
Salt, sugar, jewelry, brightly colored fabrics... these ordinary items were carefully sorted and crammed into the limited space.
They fantasized about using these "products of civilization" to exchange for treasures from the primitive natives.
...
Day four, dusk.
Countless Soul Masters raised their heads and looked up at the sky.
My heart was pounding.
My palms are sweating.
Some were eager to try, while others felt their legs go weak.
Some people gripped their soul-guided devices tightly, checking the contents inside repeatedly.
The entire continent fell into a tense silence.
finally--
Buzz!
Above the sky, the light curtain lit up once more.
[Four days have passed; the draw will now begin.]
[Three slots available for this time travel!]
[The second batch of transmigrators is currently being randomly selected—]
The voice was majestic yet cold, like a judgment.
The images on the sky began to flicker wildly.
Countless faces flashed by.
Farmers, merchants, nobles, soul masters, old people, children... they moved so fast that only afterimages remained.
Someone caught a glimpse of their own terrified face and screamed in horror.
...
Soto City, Shrek Academy.
"Don't select me...don't select me..."
Yu Xiaogang collapsed to the ground, trembling all over.
He clasped his hands together and his lips kept moving.
His sallow face was deathly pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
The images flashed repeatedly through his mind: Zhao Wuji turned into minced meat, Chrysanthemum Douluo being devoured by ferocious beasts, and the Devouring Sky Sparrow swallowing up an entire city in one gulp.
"I still have theories that are not yet perfected... I haven't yet proven my worth to the world... I cannot die..."
He murmured softly, his eyes filled with terror.
Beside him, Dai Mubai looked pale, but he forced himself to stand up straight.
His fingertips were trembling slightly.
Ning Rongrong bit her lip tightly.
Xiao Wu gripped Tang San's arm tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh.
"Brother...you won't choose us, will you?"
Tang San took a deep breath, and his Purple Demon Eye quietly activated.
He patted Xiao Wu's hand.
"Don't worry, the chances are very small."
His hands, which were behind his back, were already clenched into fists, and his palms were covered in sweat.
The Twenty-Four Bridges were crammed with supplies on that moonlit night—hidden weapons, poisons, medicines, gold, and silver…
Is that really enough?
Faced with a three-year-old child who can destroy a Title Douluo with a single punch, and faced with a ferocious bird with wingspans of ten thousand feet, are the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques still useful?
Tang San didn't know.
For the first time, he began to doubt his own abilities.
Zhu Zhuqing stood at the edge of the crowd, her arms crossed over her chest, her face cold.
She stared intently at the sky, her nails digging into her palms.
"Choose me..."
She silently recited it in her heart.
"You must choose me."
Rather than staying here and accepting the fate that has been arranged for me, I might as well go over there and give it my all.
...
The flickering of the light screen slowed down.
Each beat is like a giant hammer striking the hearts of hundreds of millions of people.
finally--
The image freezes.
The first thing that catches the eye is a touch of silver-white.
It was an indescribable silvery-white, pure, sacred, and cold.
The outline gradually became clear.
That was a dragon.
A colossal dragon so large it takes your breath away.
It was sealed inside a huge amethyst crystal.
The crystal is so clear that it reflects every flawless scale on the dragon's body.
The dragon's body is long and winding, its curves resembling the outline of the heavens, and it is tens of thousands of feet long.
The dragon scales are exquisite hexagons, each one resembling the most perfect ice and snow crystals.
The dragon's head is majestic, and its horns meander like the roots of an ancient tree, pointing straight to the sky.
Even through the light barrier, even sealed by crystal, the divine pressure that transcends all living beings still rushed towards us.
...
The Douluo Continent was utterly silent.
Countless people gaped, their eyes wide with astonishment.
"Dragon... Dragon..."
In the Heavenly Dou City Imperial Palace, Emperor Xue Ye's scepter clattered to the ground.
He was completely unaware.
"This...this is a dragon from our world?"
In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sword Douluo Chen Xin's hand holding the sword trembled slightly.
He had seen the true form of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Compared to the being before them, it was like a loach looking up at a real dragon.
[Ding! First chosen one: Lord of Soul Beasts, Silver Dragon King. (Half-step God King Realm)]
The resounding voice was like a thunderclap.
"A half-step...God King?!"
"God! That's a dragon that has reached the divine level!"
"The ruler of all soul beasts... the Silver Dragon King... the soul beast race actually harbors such a being?!"
An uproar swept across the continent like a tsunami.
Dragons are the highest-ranking creatures in any legend.
The silver dragon before them was not only a dragon, but also the "Lord of Soul Beasts," and had even reached the realm of "Half-Step God King."
That was the king among the gods.
Although everyone knew that the Sky Curtain might choose a stronger opponent, no one expected that the opening move would be such a high-level bombshell.
...
Starry Sky Forest, by the Lake of Life.
"My lord—!!!"
Di Tian's voice trembled and changed due to extreme fear.
Although he was well aware of the power of his lord, Gu Yuena.
But that's a perfect world.
It is a world where even titled Douluo are crushed like ants.
The Lord is still in a deep sleep, his wounds severe.
"That...that's our lord?"
The Crimson King stared blankly at the light screen, his huge dog head filled with bewilderment.
Most of these ferocious beasts had only heard of the Silver Dragon King by name and had never actually seen his true appearance.
The fierce beast kings, including Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, and Bi Ji, all stood there dumbfounded.
"Quickly! Awaken the Lord!"
Di Tian suddenly realized what was happening, and his enormous dragon body transformed into a humanoid black shadow, rushing madly into the depths of the Lake of Life.
The Lord must be awakened immediately.
Let her know what happened.
This allows her to prepare.
Otherwise, they would be teleported there and face that unknown purgatory...
Di Tian dared not think any further.
...
Wuhun City, the square in front of the Papal Palace.
"The ruler of all soul beasts... the Silver Dragon King... a half-step god-king..."
Qian Daoliu looked up at the light screen, his brows furrowed and his expression grave.
As the High Priest of the Angel God and a peerless Douluo of level ninety-nine, his lifelong pursuit was to serve the gods.
But at this moment, a soul beast has actually reached the "half-step God King" realm.
This overturned his understanding.
"The Soul Beast race actually possesses such profound secrets..."
A storm raged in Qian Daoliu's heart.
"If this Silver Dragon King harbors ulterior motives and is hostile towards humans..."
He clenched his fists instinctively.
Bibi Dong stood to the side, a hint of fear flashing deep in her purple eyes.
She recalled that a few years ago, she had personally led a team deep into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt down 100,000-year-old soul beasts.
Fortunately, this being was not alerted at the time.
Otherwise, given her strength at the time, she probably wouldn't have even had a chance to escape.
"Silver Dragon King..."
Bibi Dong sneered inwardly, yet felt a lingering fear.
"The overlord of soul beasts... If he goes there, it's best he dies there."
