FE—Chapter 99: Senior Silver Dragon King, What Do You Think of Suicide for Love
The Silver Dragon King's eyes shone with a silver light, and she appeared very calm when faced with the question from the Fire Dragon King's dragon soul, speaking in a steady tone.
"The fierce battle between the Dragon God and the God Realm broke out at the beginning. All the dragon gods participated in it, resulting in chaos in the God Realm, where countless mid-level and upper-level dragons fell."
"After the Dragon God was struck by the Asura Demonic Sword, he split into me and the Golden Dragon King. The Golden Dragon King has been sealed in the God Realm until now, while I left the God Realm and came to the Douluo Continent. I meditated at the bottom of the Lake of Life to heal my hidden injuries..."
"After the war, the God Realm ordered all soul beasts not to become gods to consolidate its rule."
Upon hearing the Silver Dragon King's words, the Fire Dragon King felt an overwhelming sense of desolation, recognizing how far the dragon race had fallen to such a state.
Although the Silver Dragon King appeared after the Fire Dragon King, she was split from the Dragon God. From the perspective of the dragon race's bloodline, there was no need for her to regard the Fire Dragon King as her superior.
"Master, is there no Dragon God in the God Realm now...?"
The Fire Dragon King's tone was heavy with sadness. He had been a direct subordinate of the Dragon God when he was alive, so it was understandable that he would address the Silver Dragon King as "Master."
The Silver Dragon King thought for a moment, contemplating the dire situation of the Dragon Clan, her eyes narrowing slightly as she let out a frustrated snort, yet her expression remained calm.
"Fire Dragon King, the past of the Dragon God War is a foregone conclusion. There is no need to be so sad. We still have a chance to turn the situation around."
The Silver Dragon King remained composed, demonstrating the demeanor of a co-master of the soul beasts once again.
"When my injuries are fully recovered and I am reborn, I will completely break the shackles preventing soul beasts from becoming gods, attack the God Realm, and succeed in one fell swoop!"
Upon hearing these words, the Fire Dragon King felt a spark of excitement within him.
As expected of the Silver Dragon King, who was split from the Master, her resolve was unshakeable.
He recognized some of the Dragon God's former spirit in her, and he was sure she would achieve great things in the future!
The Fire Dragon King continued, "When this human first arrived here, the Water Dragon King and I realized he had intentions regarding our remains and wanted to take action against him directly."
"But after noticing the golden dragon blood in the Auspicious Beast and the reverse scale she produced, we reconsidered whether we should wait for the Master to arrive."
The two dragon souls had been dead for a long time, and the time they could maintain clear consciousness was limited.
To comprehend information concerning the Dragon God Master, their dragon souls only awakened upon the arrival of the Silver Dragon King.
At this moment, with Huo Yuhao's consent, the ice-white light ball that emerged from his body—namely, the Water Dragon King's dragon soul—uttered a gentle voice.
"My Lord, after this human absorbed me, I could sense the powerful dragon blood within him, which he refers to as the Ancient Void Dragon Bloodline. I saw my Lord attempting to merge her blood with his..."
"Although it didn't succeed, it further confirmed the power of the Ancient Void Dragon Bloodline."
When the Silver Dragon King heard the latter half of the Water Dragon King's statement, she felt her cheeks heat up, whether, from embarrassment or something else, she couldn't quite tell.
It would have been one thing if the fusion had simply failed, but to realize she was being despised was unexpected.
The Fire Dragon King chuckled: "My Lord, don't let the fusion failure trouble you. This kid possesses such an extraordinary dragon bloodline; he will surely become a great man in the future!"
"If he is willing to help our dragon clan, we could reshape the glory of our dragon race in the God Realm, or at the very least, allow a portion of the upper dragon clan to return to the God Realm and regain their positions as gods."
The Silver Dragon King nodded lightly, a ripple of emotion appearing in her calm eyes.
"The failure in merging with Huo Yuhao this time was also within my expectations. After all, I am but a wisp of soul here. If I try again in the future, the success rate should be higher."
The Silver Dragon King was concerned about this.
She had half the Bloodline of the Dragon God. If she managed to upgrade, she would be worthy of Huo Yuhao's Bloodline.
The Fire Dragon King said reassuringly, "The Master has grand ambitions and has found someone with such a remarkable bloodline; I am at ease."
He then directed his gaze toward the Water Dragon King and let out a long dragon roar.
"Now that the dragon clan is in turmoil, I feel fortunate to meet the Silver Dragon King who was split from the Master Dragon God in this lower realm. Thus, as the Fire Dragon King, I shall lend you my support."
From the Fire Dragon King's dragon soul, fiery red energy surged from above the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and his emotions appeared to be lifted.
The energy then penetrated the brows of Huo Yuhao and Di Rachel, respectively.
The Silver Dragon King took a deep breath and pondered for a moment: "Fire Dragon King, Water Dragon King if you use Huo Yuhao's Ancient Void Dragon bloodline, can your dragon soul's consciousness be preserved?"
Huo Yuhao mused, "Just like my teacher Yi Lao, even if the consciousness is quite shattered, as long as a trace can be preserved, there is a possibility of resurrection later."
The Fire Dragon King's long roar sounded again, but this time it carried a sense of relief.
"The Water Dragon King and I have lain in dormancy for countless years. This time, through our brief communication, we have done our best... Afterward, I shall completely dissipate between heaven and earth."
"But you need not harbor such emotions. Contributing to the revival of the dragon race at the moment of our death is a way to fulfill our obsession."
The energy above the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well rippled swiftly, and the breath within it continued to weaken until it dropped to a certain critical point.
Although the remains of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King were gone, after such prolonged nourishment, the spring water possessed some special attribute energy due to its qualitative changes.
If the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well were considered a blessed place that could ascend to the God Rank,
Now that the remains of the two dragon kings were lost, it was not completely devoid of value. For most soul masters with ice and fire attributes, it remained a treasure, offering good opportunities.
Huo Yuhao and Di Rachel were enveloped in the fiery red light of the Fire Dragon King. Within the dazzling red halo, a hint of golden luster mingled in. Above the enormous remains, the soul body formed by the dragon soul became increasingly illusory.
"My Lord, although the Water Dragon King and I have lain fallen for countless years and our soul energy is running low, we have aided the human soul masters tremendously... May the Dragon God bless the Silver Dragon King to revitalize the dragon race and return to the God Realm one day."
Huo Yuhao and Di Rachel expressed their gratitude: "Thank you, Senior Dragon King, for your gift."
The Silver Dragon King nodded slightly in acknowledgment of the increasingly transparent soul of the Fire Dragon King, assuring that she would strive to meet their expectations.
Then, Huo Yuhao and Di Rachel began to earnestly absorb the energy of the Fire Dragon King.
The Silver Dragon King reminded them: "Huo Yuhao, Di Rachel, the Fire Dragon King has voluntarily sacrificed his energy. You don't need to control it yourselves; just relax and accept it."
The two nodded in understanding. Huo Yuhao did not use the Fire Dragon King's dragon soul to fuse the soul ring but instead focused on strengthening his Chilling Bone Flame.
A wisp of forest-white flames danced around Huo Yuhao, while the ice-blue and fiery-red energies of the two dragon kings mingled with the extremely cold and fiery Chilling Bone Flame.
Di Rachel absorbed the Fire Dragon Soul, her tone brimming with delight.
"This Auspicious Beast and Yuhao share the energy of the Fire Dragon King; perhaps we can enhance our tacit understanding. This is the power of destiny."
Di Rachel felt she still had a significant advantage. The big silver dragon approached Huo Yuhao this time but was rejected, seemingly an indication that their fates were entwined.
...
In the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian, who was near the Lake of Life, observed a wisp of the Silver Dragon King's soul in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, communicating with the essence of the body and projecting a visualization above the Lake of Life.
"Hey... This Fire Dragon King holds high expectations for the Master, yet he still does not truly understand her."
Di Tian shook his head slowly. He had guarded the recuperating Silver Dragon King for hundreds of thousands of years and was well aware of her temperament.
The flaws in the Silver Dragon King's character made her ill-suited to oversee the overall development of the entire Soul Beast world.
Although her ideals and goals were clear, and she understood what she needed to achieve, in practical action, she was easily swayed by her indecisive nature.
Di Tian could only reassure himself: "Even though the emotions inherited from the Lord Dragon God are destined to be soft and hesitant, the hope she carries for the revival of the dragon race is still quite valuable."
Moreover, what truly astonished him was Huo Yuhao's Ancient Void Dragon bloodline, which was undeniably stronger than the Lord's.
If possible, he would like to train Huo Yuhao as the Lord of Soul Beasts, as he had contemplated before, allowing the Silver Dragon King to assist Huo Yuhao.
The Red King, watching the image projected over the Lake of Life, couldn't help but ask, "Di Tian, is this senior Fire Dragon King using his last energy to help the little ancestor improve her bloodline?"
Di Tian nodded slowly: "Yes, although the level of the golden dragon bloodline is not low, the little ancestor's body is a three-eyed golden lion, not an actual dragon."
"With the dragon soul of the senior Fire Dragon King, her dragon bloodline will undoubtedly become purer."
The Red King hesitated, tentatively asking, "Just now within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, did the Master release a breath and attempt a Bloodline reaction with this human?"
He found it quite strange. Given the Master's Silver Dragon King bloodline, she usually disregarded any other dragon bloodline.
Yet this time she had personally set out with a clear objective and tried to merge her bloodline with his. It seemed she was genuinely affected.
Di Tian cast a calm glance at the Red King, also aiming to protect his master's dignity: "Well, the origins of the two bloodlines are fundamentally different, so failure is only natural."
"Furthermore, the bloodline of the Silver Dragon King is derived from the Dragon God, which is the top dragon bloodline in the world. To be frank, she does not need to merge with any other bloodline."
The three heads of the Red King nodded in understanding.
Di Tian's meaning was abundantly clear. While he could not trust in the Silver Dragon King's ability to manage the overall situation, he must believe in the strength of her bloodline.
...
In the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it remained unclear how much time had passed, but Huo Yuhao completed the absorption of the Fire Dragon King's energy.
The Silver Dragon King inquired curiously, "The two ice and fire properties of your flame have surpassed the extreme category."
"The energy of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings is truly incomparable to this flame. Not only on the Douluo Continent but even in the God Realm, it would be difficult to find this level of ice and fire energy."
Huo Yuhao released the Chilling Bone Flame, having been enhanced by the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King; the extreme cold and fire properties were greatly amplified.
He sensed the changes and couldn't help but smile: "Indeed. The Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King were both God Kings during their lifetimes. Their dragon powers persist even after death, making their ice and fire attributes top-tier energy on a plane level."
The Water God and the Fire God among the various elemental gods in the God Realm are both first-level deities specializing in water and fire attributes, yet they still fail to compare to the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.
Huo Yuhao caught a glimpse of the illusory small dragon shadow in the Chilling Bone Flame at his fingertips, observing the flame change color to take on a gold tinge atop its original white hue.
The Silver Dragon King approached him as if recalling something, her interest piqued.
"Huo Yuhao, since you possess such a powerful dragon bloodline, do you wish to learn a skill of the Dragon God?"
Huo Yuhao, who was focused on sensing the strength of the enhanced Chilling Bone Flame, was momentarily taken aback upon hearing the announcement.
The Silver Dragon King smiled, "This skill is difficult for most upper dragons to master."
"I can teach you so that we do not waste the potential of your Ancient Void Dragon bloodline."
"Dragon God's skill? Me?"
Huo Yuhao was astonished. He looked at the Silver Dragon King and then down at his palm.
He had only just started to merge the Ancient Void Dragon bloodline, and now he was learning the Dragon God's skill. Huo Yuhao felt as if the Silver Dragon King was overestimating him.
"What skill?" Huo Yuhao inquired, though he didn't want to convey any notions of inadequacy.
"Dragon God Claw."
The corners of the Silver Dragon King's lips curled slightly upward: "Only this seat and Fi Tian know this skill on the mainland."
"But I am proficient in controlling elemental energy, which is why I usually do not utilize the Dragon God Claw."
Huo Yuhao contemplated this. According to the lore, this skill was quite powerful, but its portrayal in the original narrative had been somewhat understated.
The Silver Dragon King observed Huo Yuhao, sensing that he might fear he could not learn this skill, and gently patted his shoulder.
"Huo Yuhao, I believe in your understanding. Moreover, you mentioned that the Bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon specializes in power and space, which creates ideal conditions for mastering the Dragon God Claw."
Huo Yuhao decisively agreed: "Alright, let's learn it."
The Silver Dragon King nodded with satisfaction and began to instruct Huo Yuhao in the Dragon God Claw.
"Before teaching you, I will demonstrate it for you first!"
The Silver Dragon King raised her bare hand lightly, seemingly moving slowly, but her gesture contained terrifying elemental energy.
Her right hand was instantly enveloped in silver dragon scales before she pressed down forcefully.
"Look, this is my Dragon God Claw."
In the sky not far away, colorful light flashed, and amidst the spatial fluctuations, there was a crisp "click" sound of space shattering, as a gigantic silver dragon claw manifested, grasping a specific area of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Proficient in space elements, the Silver Dragon King utilized her Dragon God Claw to produce power through elemental manipulation and release it through the air.
Huo Yuhao immediately deployed his mental power to weave together the scene of the Silver Dragon King's demonstration of the Dragon God Claw, making it convenient for later learning and review.
The Silver Dragon King observed him, curious about what he was weaving: "Huo Yuhao, what are you doing?"
Huo Yuhao recalled the light ball he had woven for Di Rachel earlier and smiled with interest.
"Senior Silver Dragon King, if a very powerful dragon transforms, aiming to achieve the supreme feat of reviving the dragon race..."
"But due to emotional reasons, she ultimately chooses to die for love... Well, it's typically referred to as being 'love-struck (love brain).' What do you think of this matter?"
The Silver Dragon King blinked: "What love-struck? Which dragon possesses the same ambition as this seat?!"
Moments ago, the Silver Dragon King felt that Huo Yuhao was being disrespectful toward her.
