Chapter 297: Silver Dragon King, the Secret of the Dragon God's Division

Noticing Gu Xuan staring at the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm with eager eyes, Di Tian said lightly: "This creature is something we happened to find out at sea. The Lord said that although its cultivation has reached a million years, it lacks the matching strength and wisdom; strictly speaking, it counts as an aberrant species."

"What's special is that the immense power within its body can be supplied for us to absorb. Not only can it speed up our strength increase, it can also recover energy on its own, making it a pretty good gradual accelerator."

Upon hearing Di Tian's words, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had already cursed Di Tian's ancestors eighteen generations in its heart, yet it foolishly pretended not to hear, hoping to gain a chance to escape someday.

Gu Xuan merely smiled upon hearing this: "Not bad; I'll probably have use for it later."

Hearing Gu Xuan's words, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm thought: "Indeed, this human also envies my peerless beauty and wants to exploit me..."

"Wait... this human is actually an emperor among humans? But how could he be so young?"

"His strength ought to be no weaker than Di Tian's! How could such a young human possess such tremendous power?"

"What a pity... such formidable mental power and strength... alas, it's too strong to be easily deceived; I'll just wait for the right moment..."

Gu Xuan was unaware of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's inner thoughts; he turned his head to look at Di Tian and said: "Let's go."

Di Tian nodded, leading Gu Xuan further inside.

After passing through the main hall, Gu Xuan followed Di Tian into a special chamber about fifty square meters in size; the ceiling above the center had a five-meter-wide opening, through which sunlight poured in, filling the whole room with brightness.

The chamber had no extra furnishings—only countless variegated crystals; beneath the opening lay a crystal-clear silver dragon-shaped crystal. When Di Tian and Gu Xuan entered the room, this dragon-shaped crystal emitted faint soul power fluctuations.

At that moment, Di Tian knelt on one knee, right hand over his heart: "My Lord, this is Gu Xuan, the sole emperor of the Douluo Continent, the Sun and Moon Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire."

Just as Di Tian finished speaking, a graceful figure silently appeared within the silver dragon-shaped crystal; the entire crystal seemed to come alive, taking on a humanoid form identical to a human.

Standing at 1.78 meters tall, clad in a flowing silver-white moon-crystal wide-sleeved fairy robe, her features were exquisite, her figure striking—this was the human form manifested by the Silver Dragon King using a wisp of soul power.

The Silver Dragon King bore bare feet of snowy white, crystal-clear jade, the soles hovering off the ground, level with Gu Xuan's eyes.

"Di Tian, serve tea." The Silver Dragon King's lips parted slightly, her gentle, elegant voice sounding softly.

Di Tian rose, took out a set of luxurious table and chairs and tea set from his Soul Tool, then, like a servant, washed the utensils, boiled water, and brewed tea.

This was the tea art Di Tian learned in the human world, for human nobles enjoy tea and discourse, making them appear refined.

Afterwards, the Silver Dragon King extended a jade hand toward Gu Xuan, gesturing to the tea table: "Sun and Moon Emperor, please."

Gu Xuan withdrew his gaze, nodded slightly: "It seems the Silver Dragon King has also learned quite a bit in the human world; she's not a shut-in."

After Gu Xuan seated himself, the Silver Dragon King slowly came to sit opposite him; Di Tian pulled out a chair for her, and she sat down gently.

"When I fled to the Douluo Continent, I also searched the human world for a while, but found no way to restore my vital energy, so I finally returned here, waiting for the right moment." The Silver Dragon King concealed nothing from Hu Yuanyuan, for Gu Xuan is a disciple of the Twin Kings.

In a sense, although Gu Xuan is human, his heart bears half of the soul beast tribe.

Only by relying on the present Gu Xuan can the soul beast tribe possibly have a chance to rise.

Moreover, with Gu Xuan's status as a disciple of the Twin Kings, the Silver Dragon King is all the more inclined to draw close to him, seeking to maximize benefits.

Gu Xuan heard this and nodded: "I came here to hear your thoughts."

Gu Xuan continued: "Do you wish to live on as the Silver Dragon King, or as the Dragon God?"

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, the originally tranquil Di Tian suddenly lifted his head, his gaze blazing as he fixed it on Gu Xuan.

The Silver Dragon King's lovely eyes likewise stared at Gu Xuan in astonishment; she never expected Gu Xuan to open with a bombshell.

After a long while, the Silver Dragon King sighed: "The Gold Dragon King is imprisoned in the Divine Realm; even you, wanting to rescue him, is not that easy, and you currently lack sufficient leverage."

Gu Xuan smiled faintly: "That is my concern; you only need to tell me your thoughts, for now you are the one cooperating with me, so your ideas are also necessary to me."

Hearing the confidence in Gu Xuan's words, the Silver Dragon King's heart surged; she understood that unifying soul beasts and humans would be a tremendous contribution and merit, yet she did not grasp why Gu Xuan was so confident.

But Gu Xuan had forced her to make a choice—she had none...

The Silver Dragon King shook her head slightly: "From beginning to end I have had no choice; from the moment I appeared, there was none."

"You should now know that the Gold Dragon King and I were originally one entity, but after we separated from our original body, we became two independent individuals."

"The true Dragon God... no longer exists. This is why those beings in the Divine Realm would rather imprison the Gold Dragon King and let me escape."

"If the Dragon God were to fall, then no matter how much time passes, a new Dragon God will arise in the future; but if the Dragon God has not fallen, merely existing in another way, then the true Dragon God will never appear again."

Hearing the Silver Dragon King's words, Gu Xuan nodded: "So the reason the Divine Realm originally split the Dragon God lies here?"

"Thus it seems their plan and execution were quite successful; since you have already become a separate entity, you will inevitably not abandon your own life, so the Dragon God will never manifest in the world."

The Silver Dragon King nodded, her expression somewhat dim: "Speaking of which, it's still due to the selfish nature of sentient beings; I understand their intent, but I cannot let go of my kind."

However, the Silver Dragon King quickly regained her composure, looking at Gu Xuan: "But although the Dragon God is gone, it can still exist."

Gu Xuan pondered upon hearing this, then said: "You mean that although you and the Gold Dragon King are separate individuals, you still possess an ability akin to a martial soul's true form; as long as the Gold Dragon King gains freedom, the two of you working together can still wield the power of the Dragon God?"

The Silver Dragon King nodded: "You are clever, but even if you wish it, the gods of the Divine Realm will not agree."

"Since they originally separated us, they naturally will not allow us such an opportunity, and furthermore..."

Saying this, the Silver Dragon King looked into Gu Xuan's eyes, her expression carrying an unfathomable meaning: "Furthermore... you may not necessarily witness our soul beast tribe possessing such power either."
