Chapter 203: The Prematurely Awakened Silver Dragon King
God Realm.
The five God Kings remained silent for a moment. Finally, the Asura God said, "Regarding the Silver Dragon King, let her live a few more days for now. In any case, Soul Beasts cannot achieve godhood. A mere lonely individual like the Silver Dragon King poses a threat to our God Realm that ranks far behind the Abyss."
The other four God Kings nodded, agreeing with his statement.
After all, with Soul Beasts currently unable to achieve godhood, what could the Silver Dragon King possibly do on the Douluo Continent? At most, she could recover from all her injuries and return to her position as a God King. But a mere God King wanting to overturn the rule of the God Realm was utterly impossible.
Moreover, they had been able to defeat the Silver Dragon King and send her fleeing in disarray back then, to say nothing of the present.
Unless the Silver Dragon King’s strength were to one day drastically increase, allowing her to break through the God King realm and gain the power of a Creator God. Otherwise, to the God Realm, the Silver Dragon King would always be just a clown jumping around, one who could be destroyed in minutes.
However, the plot displayed in the video soon made the five God Kings completely unable to sit still.
In the video.
The Silver Dragon King was silent for a long time. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly paused. Then, she spoke in a calm tone, "You've been watching from the shadows for so long. Aren't you going to come out yet?"
"What! Someone is spying on us?!"
Di Tian and the others were greatly alarmed. Powerful auras erupted from their bodies as they vigilantly looked around, assuming a stance as if ready to fight to the death at any moment.
At the same time, they wondered who was spying on them. Was it someone from the Abyss, or... a human?!
The former would be fine; at worst, they would just have to fight to the death.
If it was the latter, it meant that humanity might be about to make a move against them, the Soul Beasts!
Fortunately, now that their Master had awakened, they finally had a backbone despite their alarm. They were no longer as bewildered and helpless as before.
"My apologies."
"Spying from the shadows was purely accidental. I have no ill will."
A clear male voice sounded out.
Immediately after, a white-robed figure appeared not far from the Silver Dragon King, startling Di Tian and the others. It also caused the Silver Dragon King's pupils to contract. She had no idea when this human had appeared before her.
She even began to suspect that the faint aura she had detected earlier was only because this person had deliberately revealed it.
"Lord of White Cloud City!"
Di Tian and the others exclaimed, recognizing the white-robed figure before them.
'What?! This person is that divinely mysterious Lord of White Cloud City that Di Tian spoke of!'
The Silver Dragon King was greatly startled. She realized that she had severely underestimated the strength of the Human Faction. From what Di Tian and the others had told her, she had thought that even as fellow God Kings, she, as a veteran, would surely hold an advantage against those three human God Kings.
After all, she had been a God King for countless years; her application of power and comprehension of the rules could not be matched by those three humans. Yet, the appearance of Ye Cheng before her now made her realize that she had underestimated humanity and overestimated herself.
"To what do we owe this visit, Lord of White Cloud City?" Realizing Ye Cheng's strength was not to be underestimated, the Silver Dragon King's attitude became cautious. She inquired politely.
Di Tian and the others also watched him with wary eyes, afraid he had come to exterminate or enslave the Soul Beasts. If the Human Faction truly intended to move against the Soul Beast Clan, then even with their Master present, the clan would likely suffer a devastating blow.
After all, in a one-on-three fight, they believed that even if the Silver Dragon King could win, it certainly wouldn't be easy. At the very least, Soul Beasts like them, who weren't even divine beasts, would very likely die in the aftermath of the battle between the four God Kings. The entire Soul Beast Forest might even be utterly destroyed.
Once God Kings got serious, destroying civilization on the surface was a matter of minutes.
Seeing Ye Cheng's appearance, the many audience members in the Live Broadcast Room also began to speculate about his intentions.
[I think City Lord Ye has probably come to completely exterminate the Soul Beasts!]
[I don't think so. It must be something else.]
[I think he was probably drawn here by the Silver Dragon King's aura?]
[I believe City Lord Ye might have come to recruit the Soul Beast Clan, only to coincidentally run into the awakening of their Master.]
[Looking at this, they might have to fight... I wonder who is stronger?]
A series of bullet comments scrolled past. Everyone stared intently at the video, eager to know the answer. Even the Soul Beast Faction was staring intently at the video.
At the same time.
In the Star Dou Great Forest Core Area, deep within the Lake of Life.
In a strange space.
The Silver Dragon King, who had just recently awakened, was also staring at the video. Ever since an image of her appeared in the Q&A video, the immense attention from many people had gathered a vast amount of thought power. The slumbering Silver Dragon King instantly sensed this and awakened.
The moment she awoke, her consciousness was immediately captured by the Q&A System and connected to the Live Broadcast Room. She saw the video.
"So many things will happen in the future..."
"The Abyss invades, the God Realm flees..."
The beautiful Silver Dragon King stared intently at the video in the Live Broadcast Room. Unlike her recovered self in the video, she was currently still severely injured. The current energy concentration on the Douluo Continent could not help her injuries recover at all, so she could only rely on slumber for self-healing.
Originally, the Silver Dragon King would have awakened tens of thousands of years later, but the appearance of the Live Broadcast Room had woken her prematurely. Therefore, she was still in a severely injured state, but she had no intention of continuing her slumber.
The appearance of the mysterious Q&A had exceeded her expectations. The Silver Dragon King had a premonition that if she continued to slumber, she would sooner or later be abandoned by the times. After all, through the Live Broadcast Room's bullet comments and the video's contents, she already had a clear idea of what might happen in the future.
The Abyss invasion was a crisis.
But at the same time, it was also an opportunity.
If she could seize the opportunity within it, then perhaps her future self could glimpse the realm of the Creator God, a state above that of God Kings!
At this moment, she stared intently at the video, diligently gathering every detail. In her opinion, these details were crucial and could be used to analyze many things.
In the video.
Facing the Silver Dragon King's inquiry, Ye Cheng smiled amicably and said, "I have come this time for the future of humans and Soul Beasts."
'As expected, he wants to make a move against the Soul Beasts?!' The hearts of Di Tian and the other Soul Beasts sank, and they prepared to fight to the death at any moment!
As if sensing their hostility, Ye Cheng said, "Don't misunderstand. I have no intention of harming the Soul Beasts. On the contrary, I came here this time to solve the problem of Soul Beasts being unable to achieve godhood."
The moment these words were spoken, not only the Soul Beasts in the video, but even the Soul Beasts in reality became agitated.
Solving the problem of Soul Beasts being unable to achieve godhood?
Could it be that he already had a method?!
This thought crossed the minds of many Soul Beasts. If anyone else had come to them and claimed they had a way for Soul Beasts to achieve godhood, they would definitely not have believed it. But if it was Ye Cheng, the man who created the Soul Ring Condensation Method and reformed the Soul Master system, then his words held a certain degree of credibility.
After all, he had even researched a method for humans to condense their own soul rings and achieve godhood without needing a god's seat. So, researching a method that allowed Soul Beasts to also achieve godhood... didn't seem so unbelievable, did it?
