Chương 98: Silver Dragon King

For some reason, Tang San, who was supposed to be in the Star Dou Great Forest, did not appear.

According to the original plot, this time Bibi Dong led the experts of the Spirit Hall to the core of the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirits. Xiao Wu should have been unable to escape this calamity and was forced to choose to sacrifice herself to Tang San, becoming the sixth spirit ring of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass spirit.

But Xiao Wu and Da Ming and Er Ming were already in dire straits. If Richard and his group had arrived any later, Xiao Wu would have been gone.

But we still haven't seen Tang San.

Could it be that I've unknowingly caused a major impact? Has the butterfly effect completely distorted the plot?

Looking at Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming who had been rescued, Richard made some guesses in his mind.

Even though he hadn't actively participated in any part of the plot, it still caused such a big impact.

Out of curiosity, he used his mental power to scan the entire continent. The Star Dou Great Forest was located in the center of the entire Douluo Continent, and his mental power scan could almost capture the entire continent.

This scan revealed, well...

It was indeed their fault, because when they were trying to obtain the Thor's inheritance, they forcibly entered the forbidden area of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and then left in a huff, even ignoring Yu Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.

This action caused an uproar throughout the entire Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and Richard, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress were wanted across the entire continent. However, at that time, Richard and the other two were already adrift at sea, having headed to Seagod Island.

He completely ignored what was happening behind him.

This triggered a chain reaction, with the Spirit Hall launching an attack ahead of schedule, declaring war on the three upper sects and the two great empires.

Afterwards, the Clear Sky Sect emerged, leading all the forces on the continent to resist the Spirit Hall.

Tang San was busy helping the Clear Sky Sect deal with the Spirit Hall, so of course he didn't have time to come here.

No wonder Bibi Dong only brought two Title Douluo, Gui and Ju, to hunt souls; the other elders were all busy with other tasks. They couldn't spare any manpower.

Although the Spirit Hall's strength is unparalleled on the entire continent, the resistance it faces in unifying the entire continent is also incredibly strong.

In short, things have developed to this point, and the plot has become completely unrecognizable; there's no need to consider the plot anymore.

"Did all the older sisters, like me, take human form and embark on the path of a human Soul Master?"

After getting to know each other better, Xiao Wu asked Xue Di, Bing Di, and Xia Mi.

"No, there's no such thing as heavenly tribulation in my world, and of course, there are no soul beasts. My sister is a born dragon king; she was a dragon king from birth."

Back then, in my world, humans had not yet developed civilization, and the entire world was dominated by dragons. However, our dragon race declined later due to some events.

Humanity seized this opportunity to rapidly rise to become the new dominant force.

Later, in order to facilitate our activities in the human world, we remaining dragons had no choice but to transform into human form.

Xia Mi briefly explained the situation in her world.

"No heavenly tribulation? That's wonderful," Xiao Wu said with envy.

Even Hyotei looked at her with an expression of envy and jealousy.

Xia Mi raised his head, quite pleased with himself.

They made no mention of the dark history of being hunted down by other dragon kings and various hybrid forces, and hiding for thousands of years.

Richard looked at her with a smile.

Xia Mi's expression froze; she'd forgotten there was someone here who knew her inside and out. This was awkward. Who understands the feeling of having someone who knows your secrets sitting next to you while you're bragging?

She gave Richard a look, signaling him not to expose her.

Richard turned his head to one side.

Forget it, life is already so hard, so let's not expose some things.

"What about Sister Xue'er and Sister Bing'er? They are also soul beasts like me, so they should have transformed into human soul masters and started cultivating again, just like me, right?"

"Are the two older sisters already at level ninety-eight or even ninety-nine? Are they about to embark on the path to godhood?" Xiao Wu asked again.

"No, that's not true. Xue'er is a spirit born of ice and snow. This is how she is naturally.

She is on the path to godhood over millions of years. Xue'er has already survived six heavenly tribulations and is about to face her seventh.

As for Hyotei, that girl who pretends to be young, she also follows the path of becoming a god over millions of years. However, she's quite weak, having only survived two tribulations so far.

Her true form is a small scorpion, and she's poisonous. Don't play with her.

Although the ferocious beasts that survived the Heavenly Tribulation lost the opportunity to transform into human Soul Masters and cultivate again, they could still transform into humans, but they were essentially still Soul Beasts and could not cultivate like human Soul Masters.

Xia Mi explained the situation of Xue Di and Bing Di to Xiao Wu, and did not forget to smear Bing Di.

Hyotei rolled their eyes at the sound of it.

"What little scorpion? That sounds awful. I am the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, the emperor of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan," the Ice Emperor couldn't help but retort.

"Isn't that still a scorpion? I'm still the king of the entire dragon race. Am I arrogant?" Xia Mi pouted.

"Alright, you two stop arguing. Xia Mi, you, the Dragon King, have no authority over the dragons of this world. Would you like to meet the Dragon King of this world?" Richard interrupted their argument.

"What do you mean? The Silver Dragon King is here?" Xia Mi looked completely bewildered.

"Yes, didn't I tell you? It's right here, in the lake where the Azure Bull Python lives. This is where the Silver Dragon King is hiding," Richard said matter-of-factly.

"Did you say that? You only said that a Silver Dragon King and many ferocious beasts were hiding in the core of the Star Dou Great Forest. You didn't say that they were hiding in this lake." Xia Mi said, glancing at Da Ming.

It seems he's implying that the guy is so incompetent that he didn't even notice the many people hiding in his own backyard.

The Azure Bull Python was bewildered by these words. What did they mean? Was someone else hiding in its own lair? Was this some kind of horror story?

Even Xiao Wu and Er Ming were completely bewildered.

Having stayed in this core area for so long, and having visited the Lake of Life before, they haven't discovered any other soul beasts.

"This Lady Silver Dragon? Haven't you come out to meet us after all this time? We've already sincerely told you our origins," Richard suddenly said to the lake.

"She was still eavesdropping?" Xia Mi was incredulous, her face flushing. She hadn't even noticed she was being eavesdropped on? Wasn't that a bit too embarrassing? She had boasted about her abilities in front of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress.

"Of course, there has always been a spiritual force surrounding you, but it is rather subtle, so you haven't noticed it."

It's still half of the Dragon God's body, after all. Back then, the Dragon God almost broke through to the level of God King. As his half, and a half that is good at mental power, it's normal that you can't detect it.

Even the God-King of this world would have a hard time finding her, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to hide for so long." Richard comforted her.

"Who are you? Why do you know so much?" A surge of spiritual energy swept through the air, and a voice came from all directions.

The Silver Dragon King did not appear, but knowing that she had been exposed, she did not remain silent.

In fact, at this moment, the Silver Dragon King was considering how to escape. Being proficient in all elements, including spatial elements, she was naturally also adept at escaping.

However, when she tried to manipulate spatial elements, she discovered that the surrounding space seemed to have been sealed off.

It seems the other party has ill intentions.

The Silver Dragon King sighed. Since he couldn't escape, he might as well not run.

Her enormous dragon god form rapidly shrank, transforming into a stunningly beautiful young woman with exquisite features. Her skin was slightly pale, her purple eyes were clear and bright, and her gaze held a hint of confusion, making one feel an irresistible tenderness towards her.

Her long silver hair cascaded down her back, reaching her ankles.

He held a silver dragon spear, its shaft long and slender, entirely gleaming silver, with faint golden dragon patterns adorning the blade.

After years on the run, she was exhausted.

Let's have a good, satisfying battle this time.

Di Tian and a group of ferocious beasts surrounded her.

She took the lead and resolutely stepped out of the alternate dimension.

Behind them, a group of ferocious beasts followed closely.

By the Lake of Life, Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming watched as the Silver Dragon King and a host of ferocious beasts truly emerged from the lake.

They looked at each other in disbelief. These three had once considered themselves the kings of the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, but it turned out they were just gatekeepers.

Immediately following was a feeling of shame and anger. This was just too disrespectful to the three of them.

If it were just the three of them, they would have accepted the humiliation anyway. But now they have someone to rely on.

Shouldn't we get our revenge?

"You three little guys, don't look at me like that. I was the one who took over this place first. We arrived tens of thousands of years before you."

So strictly speaking, you are the ones who have usurped our place. We didn't kick you out." The Silver Dragon King said to Xiao Wu and the other two with conviction.

Xiao Wu and the other two: What she said makes so much sense, I'm speechless.

"This is the Lake of Life. You don't think that the top human soul masters don't want it, do you?"

Many powerful human soul masters from past generations have come here; you few alone cannot defend this place.

"It's all because we secretly drove those people away."

The Silver Dragon King continued.

"Alright, you and Xiaowu can discuss your matter privately."

"We're here to discuss other matters," Richard said to the Silver Dragon King.

The Silver Dragon King turned around and looked at him, this mysterious otherworldly deity.

I don't know where he learned many secrets of the divine realm, and he even knows her origins perfectly.

"Was it you who caused the accident involving that sea god a while ago?" she asked.

Where in the Douluo Continent are there so many dangers that could cause the mighty Sea God to perish?

Isn't the most likely danger the unfathomable otherworldly deity standing before us?

"That's right, I did it. Not only the Sea God, but the Asura God is also in my hands," Richard said.

Asura God— Richard's words silenced the Silver Dragon King.

"So, you've come to the Star Dou Great Forest now to attack me too?" The Silver Dragon King asked directly after a moment of silence. Even the Asura God had fallen silently; her strength was inferior to the Asura God's.

She didn't doubt that Richard was lying to her; it didn't matter.

"That depends on your choice. How about joining us and going to the realm of gods to pull off a heist?" Richard was just trying to get her to take a seat on the mountain.

"You actually want to attack the realm of gods?" The Silver Dragon King looked at a group of madmen.

"Just tell me if you want to do it or not. We're confident we can do it. What about you? Are you going to keep hiding?" Xia Mi said impatiently.

"Do I have a choice? Your approach is wrong. Aren't you afraid I'll turn against you?" The Silver Dragon King shrugged.

"Of course, some guarantees are needed. You and she should sign an equal contract. It's a commitment to share life and death."

Richard pointed at Xue Di.

"She's a soul beast, isn't she?" As the supreme ruler of soul beasts, the Silver Dragon King was certain he wouldn't mistake her.

"That's right, she is the strongest soul beast in the far north, and also the representative chosen by our organization for this world. She represents the organization's interests in this world," Richard said.

"Your organization?" the Silver Dragon King asked, puzzled.

"Of course, don't you already know we're not from this world? We have our own organization." Richard pointed to himself and Xia Mi.

The Silver Dragon King looked at Xia Mi, the dragon king from another world, and felt that she was very powerful, no weaker than himself in his prime, and even stronger.

She is currently suffering from numerous injuries and is in such poor condition that she could die at any moment. In this state, she has less than 30% of her original strength remaining.

"Is there anyone in this organization stronger than you?" the Silver Dragon King asked, very curious.

Richard smiled but remained silent.

"Fine, forget it then. Do you want me to be her subordinate?" The Silver Dragon King looked at the Snow Empress, and the Snow Empress looked at her in return.

They had discussed how to deal with the Silver Dragon King before, and this was the best solution.

For Xue Di, gaining a large-scale soul beast force would also help stabilize the world in the future.

After all, this world is too important to them, and they can't stay in this world forever.

Therefore, Xue Di is needed to stabilize the situation, which can be considered as relieving her of some burden.

"Not counting subordinates, strictly speaking, they are partners." In fact, it's impossible to make her, as a half-body of the Dragon God, submit.

They even dared to say that if they made her sign a master-servant contract, the Silver Dragon King would most likely explode on the spot.

"Sign a contract, and we'll heal your wounds. We'll also reserve a position for you as the God-King of the God Realm," Richard stated his terms.

"What should we do about the tribulation of the soul beast? Judging from her appearance, she's not far from the next tribulation, is she?" the Silver Dragon King asked.

"We have a way to save her life. You have to trust the organization's strength. Since we dared to let her join the organization, we naturally have a way to help her survive the million-year tribulation," Richard said.

What else could the Silver Dragon King say? She desperately wanted to know what the solution was, but she had no choice. If she didn't agree, she would be eliminated.

Not only will he die, but Di Tian's subordinates will also die.

She decisively signed a contract with the Snow Emperor. At least by signing it, she could survive for a while longer.

The original equality contract in Richard's world was actually an oath to a higher being, such as the chief god or the supreme god.

In this world, Richard has changed his vow to the origin of the world, and if he breaks the vow, he will be rejected by the origin of the world.

Neither the Silver Dragon King nor the Snow Empress could afford this price, which secretly relieved the Silver Dragon King.

She was also afraid that Richard and his group would trick her, making it a contract of equality in name only, but in reality, a slave contract.

It's alright now. Although I'm a little dissatisfied with having Xue Di as an equal partner, I can still barely accept it.

Throughout the entire process, Di Tian and the other soul beasts did not have a chance to speak.

Richard directly suppressed them with his divine domain, not giving these hot-tempered beasts a chance to speak.

The suppression was only lifted after the Silver Dragon King signed the contract.

Di Tian glared angrily at Richard and his group. If looks could kill, they would have been dead countless times over.

Watching the Silver Dragon King being forced to sign the contract was a very unpleasant feeling.

But he had to endure it; he couldn't act impulsively, and he couldn't let his lord's good intentions go to waste.
