The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, who had just been radiating a battle-hardened aura that could defy the heavens, suddenly vanished. Even his previous aura at the peak of Quasi-god--along with the sensation that a million-year divine tribulation followed his every move--was completely gone. In short, he had reverted to the Beast God Di Tian from before.
This massive contrast before and after left the gathered Soul Beast, and even Gu Yuena, completely astonished.
"Isn't there a clone of the Dragon God right here? Why not just ask her, even though she's just a little brat trying to act like an adult!" Hei Loulan joked, shifting the topic toward a certain silver-haired dragon who was making an absolute fool of herself.
Her mental state was clearly that of a little kid, yet she insisted on acting so mature.
Didn't she know that even as a transmigrator, Hei Loulan maintained the original age of her body? A six-year-old child was real! Wan Ye was real too!
Although she might still be a bit weak right now, and her cultivation in Laws, talismans, and Law bodies wasn't very strong yet, beating up this little Silver Dragon who couldn't even control her own power was still no problem at all!
Immediately after, Hei Loulan gathered her Law power into both hands and slapped the Silver Dragon, who was posing as an adult and thoroughly disgracing the Dragon Clan. A gold-and-crimson Law energy instantly enveloped the Silver Dragon King.
Following that, the seven-colored elemental halo naturally radiating from Gu Yuena's body was swallowed up by this Law power.
"Son of a bitch! Little brat, what do you think you're doing?!" Xiong Jun, who had transformed into human form, shouted fiercely. Sharp claws instantly popped from his hands as he lunged forward to attack Hei Loulan.
However, a pale-faced man blocked Xiong Jun's path, saying indifferently, "Di Tian hasn't made a move, so it's useless for you to step in." The Myriad Demon King, who inherently harbored some rebellious thoughts, chose to watch the scene quietly. He also felt that this Silver Dragon King was currently not qualified to be the Co-Sovereign of Soul Beasts.
Compared to this Co-Sovereign of Soul Beasts who lacked any real credentials, he still favored Di Tian more. But through Di Tian's previous behavior, he had also deduced a few things.
Di Tian was very strong, but he had never used that power--that power exclusive to the divine beast Dragon Clan. Di Tian had been slacking off all along...
"What?!"
Gu Yuena was greatly shocked. Before she could even react, the energy naturally circulating within her body was drawn out by this Law power. Her entire body then involuntarily began to twist and shrink along the path of the Law, ultimately turning into a miniature version of Gu Yuena.
With a delicate face, fair and clean skin, beautiful long silver hair, a pair of large purple eyes, and a gaze filled with such clear and foolish innocence, everything about her exposed the reality that she was, in essence, just a little kid.
"What did you do? How did this seat turn into such a state?"
Gu Yuena could feel that the energy throughout her body was involuntarily aligning with the guidance of that Law power, beginning to circulate freely through her meridians completely outside of her own control.
"You little kid acting all pure! Your utilization of energy and elements is far too low. You only know how to control Ultimate Fire, Ultimate Water, and all that miscellaneous stuff. You don't actually know how to use them at all!" Hei Loulan began to pinch the round face of the shrunken Gu Yuena, using her Law power to sense the internal state of her body.
After finishing her scan, she looked playfully at Di Tian, who was standing nearby, and asked with a smile:
"This body is still just a human form manifested through illusion. Her spiritual awareness and soul are shattered to a pitiful degree. She probably can't fully control this body after its healing, right? Is her next step to undergo human transformation? To cultivate anew from scratch so she can master this power?"
"You don't care about such a fragile state of control where she wouldn't even know if someone plotted against her?"
From Hei Loulan's perspective, the status of the Silver Dragon before her was indeed quite high, but her spiritual awareness had been smashed to pieces when she escaped from the Divine Realm. As a result, she didn't possess any memories of the Dragon God War.
Her healing while hidden in the Lake of Life had merely used her powerful vitality to erase the various residual divine energies within her physical flesh. The damage to her soul had not received any fundamental repair; it was just like using glue to forcibly stick two large pieces back together.
No wonder she would split off a Na'er when she underwent human transformation. She completely lacked the ability to control her immense power. It was like a newborn baby suddenly taking over an adult's body; although the passage of time allowed her to feel her entire body, what she knew how to use was still just pure instinct.
That was right. Any elemental control Gu Yuena currently used was merely the instinct of the Silver Dragon King's body. Even the so-called Heart of Elements--that extremely advanced level of elemental mastery--was something she was born with.
Gu Yuena, whose face was being kneaded and pinched, felt the unusable power throughout her body. Feeling that her dignity as a Dragon King was being trampled upon, she bit down hard on Hei Loulan's jade-like hand.
"Ouch! Why are you biting people like a dog!" Although it didn't really hurt, being bitten on the hand by a cute little lolita was actually quite a pleasant feeling.
Di Tian could really no longer bear to watch. Only then did Hei Loulan release his nominal master. He then solemnly asked the Spirit of the Plane before him:
"Please tell me everything. Her Highness is indeed still lacking in experience. I will supervise her from now on."
"As I thought, to get you to pull yourself together, we still have to make things clear regarding the Dragon God."
Hei Loulan paused for a moment, and the gazes of everyone present converged on her.
"First of all, the Dragon God didn't actually go 'mad.' He told you he went mad, which is just as suspicious as asking if someone is home and having the person inside the house tell you they aren't, okay?"
"If he really went mad just because the Crown Prince of the Dragon Clan--his son--died, then as the creator of the Dragon Divine Realm and the strongest existence in this universe, he would be far too much of a failure."
"The Dragon God is the strongest deity. Di Tian, you know better than anyone that those so-called God King could not kill him. The Dragon God holds the two laws of Destruction and Creation, which are the most fundamental and core powers of this universe. Although my Laws of Karma eventually caught up and usurped a portion of the fundamental laws, these two remain incredibly strong."
"His Dragon God Core was left inside the Dragon Cemetery, most of his energy turned into the Dragon Ascension Pillar, and I can feel that the Dragon God's Divine Seat is still floating in the universe."
"As the three major constructs of the Dragon God--energy, Divine Seat, and divine soul--what was split into the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings was merely the status known as the Dragon God. Otherwise, why does the Dragon God's corpse still exist?"
"So, do you think his divine soul is dead or alive?"
Hei Loulan then just sat quietly on her chair, looking at the long-silent Di Tian. The shrunken Gu Yuena, whom she had pulled to the side, was the first to speak up.
"Then after I devour the Golden Dragon King, won't I be able to re-establish the Dragon God status? Won't that allow me to achieve the Dragon God's Divine Seat?"
"Achieving the Dragon God's seat requires the power of both the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings, as well as the Dragon God lineage. Do you have the Dragon God lineage? The Dragon God probably hoped the two of you would produce an offspring or something. In any case, even if you devour each other, you won't inherit the Dragon God's Divine Seat."
The shrunken Gu Yuena gave an "Ah" and foolishly believed it.
This caused the group of Soul Beast behind her to cover their faces, feeling deeply embarrassed. Even as crude and unrefined Soul Beast, they knew that claims required verification through facts.
"So as long as I pass the tribulation of becoming a god, I can see the Dragon God's divine soul?" Di Tian said quietly with his eyes closed. Although his tone was very calm, the bursting veins between his eyebrows and forehead revealed his indignation.
"You might not necessarily see him, but you will definitely see the Dragon God Claw! When I observed the history of the continent, I saw a Myriad Year Thunderous Hell Vine King carrying the aura of the God of Thunder die under the Dragon God Claw."
"I recommend you go take a look at the Dragon Cemetery after you successfully become a god. By now, the two dragon souls of ice and fire within the plane should have already perished. The Fruit of Myriad Karma can help you accomplish many things, including communicating across time and space..."
Receiving this affirmative answer, Di Tian clenched his teeth tightly and slowly opened his eyes. His aura was no longer sharp, and even his dragon pressure could not be felt, but Hei Loulan could feel his danger index skyrocketing.
Perhaps the past him had already died in that divine war between the Dragon Clan and the gods. But now, upon learning that the true Dragon God was not dead, his long-dead spirit surged into his heart once more. He then spoke solemnly:
"Fine! This battle of karma, I accept it!"
