Chapter 50
**Chapter 50: Ancestor of the Dragon Race**
Aotian transformed back into his human form, shaking his head. "I was sleeping in the Earth Core Lava Space, but it is connected to some volcanoes. What's wrong?"
Aotian felt a bit puzzled. Although Gu Yuena hadn't said it exactly right, it was close enough. He didn't understand how she knew he was sleeping in the magma.
Hearing Aotian's reply, a flush quickly appeared on Gu Yuena's somewhat pale face. This was due to her excitement and ecstasy.
Her heart surged with emotion as she quickly stepped forward, came before Aotian, bowed, and said, "Gu Yuena greets Senior."
At this moment, where was the dignity of a Dragon King? In front of Aotian, she was like a little girl from next door facing a much-admired older brother.
Di Tian and the others couldn't help but gape in shock, unable to believe their own eyes. They were shocked that the Lord Dragon King could have such a docile side and also shocked by Aotian's true origin, that he was worthy of the Dragon King humbling herself so much.
Aotian, puzzled, asked, "Did you know me before?"
Gu Yuena nodded, excitedly saying, "The Dragon God's memory contains information about you."
Aotian grew even more puzzled. He didn't know the Dragon God before he fell into slumber, so how did the other party know about him?
As if seeing Aotian's confusion, Gu Yuena reached out to pull Aotian, but as soon as her hand touched his arm, she pulled it back, saying, "I apologize, Senior Aotian. I got carried away. Let's talk inside."
She made a welcoming gesture.
"Alright." Aotian walked toward the wooden house first.
Gu Yuena, like a little maidservant, followed nervously yet excitedly behind.
Di Tian and the others also followed. They had already understood that Aotian was an ancient and powerful being, but they were very curious about the relationship between Aotian and the Dragon God.
"Mom, let's go take a look too," Xiao Wu said, shaking her mother's hand.
She had been with Aotian for so long, and now that she finally had the chance to uncover his secrets, how could she not be tempted?
Xiao Wu's Mother picked her up and quickly followed.
Inside the wooden house, although there were few seats, the space was very spacious. Perhaps because soul beasts themselves are massive and dislike confined spaces, the house was built to be larger.
Inside, only Aotian was sitting on a chair, while Gu Yuena stood by his side.
"Sit down and talk," Aotian said.
"I wouldn't dare," Gu Yuena replied.
The Dragon Race's hierarchy and status were very strict. Now, knowing Aotian was an extremely ancient senior, she naturally wouldn't dare to be disrespectful.
"If I tell you to sit, then sit," Aotian said with a slight frown.
Gu Yuena immediately sat down. Then, with a thought, the entire wooden house instantly brightened, becoming as luminous as day.
She possessed the ability to control the elements, so emitting light in the darkness was naturally not difficult.
Xiao Wu looked around curiously, wanting to find where the light originated from, but after searching, she couldn't find the light source.
Gu Yuena finally returned to the main topic. "Senior Aotian, you might not know this, but Lord Dragon God had a profound connection with you."
"Tell me about it," Aotian said, his interest immediately piqued.
Gu Yuena said, "When Lord Dragon God was still weak, he once, by a stroke of luck, fell into a volcano. There, he felt an extremely terrifying pressure. He wanted to dive to the bottom of the magma to investigate, but the further down he went, the more terrifying the temperature became, so he had no choice but to give up. But soon, he discovered that the magma contained a peculiar power that could rapidly boost his cultivation.
Lord Dragon God went into seclusion there for a hundred years, and when he emerged, he was already invincible at the time. He also realized that what he had obtained was the legacy of the Dragon Race, so he used his power to develop and strengthen the Dragon Race.
Later, his cultivation grew stronger and stronger, even reaching beyond the level of a God King, but he never entered that volcano again. He understood that a terrifyingly powerful being was sleeping inside—one so strong that even he, at his peak, had to look up to them.
And in his heart, he regarded the powerful being sleeping within the volcano as the Ancestor of the Dragon Race."
When Gu Yuena finished speaking, she had an expression of reverence, her large purple eyes gazed unblinkingly at Aotian.
The others were already stunned. So, Senior Aotian had lived even longer than the Dragon God. The Dragon God had only achieved what he did because he had obtained Senior Aotian's legacy.
If this were in the past, they would have only scoffed at such a claim. For the dignity of the Dragon God, they would have certainly killed anyone who uttered such words.
But now, the Silver Dragon King herself had said it, so they had no choice but to believe her.
No wonder Senior Aotian could defeat them with a mere flick of his finger. His origin was truly terrifying; his strength was even above that of the Dragon God they followed.
Profound respect rose in Di Tian and the others; their reverence for Aotian was now no less than for the Dragon God.
Remembering the tragic fate of the Soul Beast Clan—unable to become gods and constantly being slaughtered by powerful human Spirit Masters—they couldn't help but clench their fists.
If they didn't resist, they were destined for extinction.
Now that their Soul Beast Clan had found an ancient, great power—the ancestor of the Dragon Race, no less—they instantly found their backbone and gained a strong sense of confidence.
"Senior Aotian will surely lead us to glory once more," they thought.
"So that's how it is. The Dragon Race of the Douluo World actually came into existence because of me," Aotian thought, inwardly astonished.
When he was sleeping in the magma space back then, he was also cultivating.
Every breakthrough in his cultivation technique would bring him a transformation, so it wasn't strange for some of his dragon blood to have scattered into the magma.
He had woken up a few times during his slumber because some creatures in the magma had devoured the dragon blood that had spilled during his transformations, but those creatures couldn't withstand the domineering nature of the dragon blood and had exploded.
After a while, he stopped paying attention to such things. He never expected that a creature would actually succeed in absorbing his dragon blood, complete its transformation, and even become the Dragon God of the Douluo World.
No wonder the Dragon Race here looked different from him. The original Dragon God was probably just a large lizard or some lizard-like creature.
Looking at Gu Yuena and Di Tian before him, Aotian suddenly felt a sense of kinship.
These were all his clansmen, his descendants.
"So, you are the true ancestor of our Dragon Race," Gu Yuena said with a devout expression.
She stood up, preparing to kowtow deeply to Aotian.
Aotian raised his hand, and an irresistible force prevented Gu Yuena from kneeling.
He wasn't dead yet... How could he casually accept someone's kowtow?
Gu Yuena's expression suddenly turned sorrowful as she said, "Old Ancestor, Lord Dragon God was once the master of the God Realm. He generously accepted humans, allowing those who reached a certain level of cultivation to enter the God Realm to cultivate.
Later, the Dragon God himself encountered some problems. He was taken advantage of by despicable individuals who sought to eliminate the powerful humans in the God Realm. But the humans' cultivation speed was too fast, and they, in turn, killed the Dragon God, whose strength had been compromised.
The humans' resistance was not wrong, but what they did later was too extreme. All disobedient divine beasts were slaughtered, and the remaining ones were kept in captivity, treated as pets.
They even interfered with the Laws, making it so that soul beasts in the lower realms would never have the chance to become gods. If they wished to become a god, they had to transform into humans.
The fate of soul beasts is to be hunted by humans and become their soul rings. If we don't resist, in another tens of thousands of years, the soul beasts will be completely extinct."
Gu Yuena looked at Aotian, her voice filled with sorrow, and said, "Old Ancestor, please lead us to fight for a world of freedom."
