Chapter 420: The Fight for an Ally Begins
The Star Dou Great Forest was the center of attention.
The duel between the Co-ruler of the Spirit Beasts and the first living being of heaven and earth had attracted the focus of all powerful gods. This was especially true when the black energy used the power of the Golden Dragon King, which made the Five God-Kings of the God Realm unable to sit still.
How could it be this absurd? The Golden Dragon King was devoured?
Like the Silver Dragon King, the Golden Dragon King was an incarnation of the Dragon God, perfectly inheriting the Dragon God's power and speed. The strength it could unleash was by no means weaker than that of a God-King. Yet such a powerful divine beast had been devoured by the black energy.
"You... devoured the Golden Dragon King!"
Staring at the black dragon spear in its opponent's hand, Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes narrowed, and her tone grew solemn.
She had only known of this entity's existence and identity through the Dragon God's memories. She never expected that upon meeting it, just as they were about to fight, she would learn that the Golden Dragon King, who shared her status, had already been consumed.
This caused Gu Yuena's expression to turn sour.
To a certain extent, the Golden Dragon King was actually stronger than the Silver Dragon King. The Dragon God's power lay not only in its realm but, more importantly, in its indestructible body and ultimate speed.
The elemental and spiritual powers inherited by the Silver Dragon King offered no particular advantage against an enemy of the same level. If the two of them were to fight, the Silver Dragon King would certainly be the one to lose in the end.
This was precisely why Gu Yuena's expression turned so ugly upon learning that even the Golden Dragon King had been devoured.
"Golden Dragon King?"
Hearing this name, the black energy was startled for a moment. After a brief recollection, it understood who the woman before it was talking about. "Are you referring to that golden dragon that was locked in the God Realm's Core?"
"The God Realm's Core?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuena also showed a puzzled expression. Could it be that after the great war back then, the Golden Dragon King was imprisoned there by the God Realm?
"Correct."
The black energy nodded. In no particular hurry, it began to speak slowly, "Back then, this one was imprisoned in the God Realm's Core by the Dragon God. After an unknown amount of time, an injured golden dragon was thrown in from the outside. After a fight, it was ultimately defeated at my hands."
In any case, its battle with this new Co-ruler of the Spirit Beasts would not end anytime soon. It might as well take the opportunity to see if it could persuade her. As the oldest living being in existence, it had experienced and witnessed countless things, and the so-called human heart had taught it a great deal.
"So that's what happened." Gu Yuena nodded thoughtfully.
Let alone a Golden Dragon King who had been heavily wounded by the Five Great God-Kings, even one at its peak would be no match for this entity. Moreover, in the sealed God Realm's Core, there was no escape even if it could not win.
"Silver Dragon King, how about we discuss something?"
A glint of pure darkness flashed in the black energy's eyes.
"Discuss something with me? What is it?" Gu Yuena's willow-like brows furrowed, not quite understanding what this entity was planning.
"I know that your spirit beast race is unable to ascend to godhood due to the rules set by the God Realm and the Dragon God. Let us join forces and overthrow the God Realm."
The black energy's expression was calm as it unhurriedly explained its idea. "You know this one's identity and abilities. Once I am allowed to recover to my peak state, let alone the current God Realm, I can effortlessly defeat even the fallen Dragon God and the Nine Great Dragon Kings combined!"
"If that's the case, how were you defeated by the Dragon God back then?" Gu Yuena sneered, clearly unwilling to believe its words.
"The Dragon God?"
The black energy glanced up at the cosmos, a rare, ultimate killing intent flashing in its eyes. "It is worthy of defeating this one? If not for the intervention of the universe's foundational will, which feared I would grow too strong to be controlled after devouring everything, how could I possibly have lost!"
At this point, the black energy paused. It looked at the woman of peerless elegance before it and asked with some confusion, "You don't actually believe that the Dragon God lost because of the abilities of that group of gods from the God Realm, do you?"
"Were they not?" Gu Yuena's brow furrowed, a look of suspicion on her face.
What does that mean? Is there a hidden story?
"Do you think the Dragon God, who could clash head-on with this one, would lose to those Five Great God-Kings?"
The black energy looked at her as if she were a fool. "Forget the Dragon God himself; his Nine Great Dragon Kings alone were more than those Five Great God-Kings could handle. You must know, the true strength of those dragon kings was even greater than yours. They were in the true God-King realm."
"So, what happened to the Dragon God back then?"
Hearing this analysis, Gu Yuena's expression also became solemn and serious.
She knew that the Dragon God had met with an accident and had inherited some of his memories, but she did not know the exact details. The God Realm under the Dragon God's rule was exceptionally powerful; there was no reason it should have lost to human experts. If that was the case, there must have been an unexpected factor.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes focused as she seemed to understand. "The Dragon God's fall back then... it was related to you!"
"It seems you're not too stupid!"
The black energy admitted, "That's right. The reason the Dragon God was defeated and fell was because this one injected the power of the origin of darkness into its body. That power, after being tempered by the human heart, became even stronger."
"The human heart!" Gu Yuena gripped her Silver Dragon Spear, murmuring these two words repeatedly.
"In a way, we are the same kind. Come, Silver Dragon King, join this one. Together, we will annihilate this so-called human race and return the universe to the ancient era!"
The moment the black energy finished speaking, Kong and his group revealed themselves.
He had been listening intently, but then this damn thing started its usual persuasive tricks.
Damn it, if the Silver Dragon King had a moment of weakness and agreed, wouldn't all his previous efforts have been for nothing?
No, absolutely not!
"God-King of Thunder!"
Neither the black energy nor Gu Yuena was surprised by the appearance of these individuals, as they had already sensed their presence.
"Silver Dragon King, have you forgotten the cooperation between us?"
Kong ignored the black energy and spoke directly to Gu Yuena, "The rule preventing the spirit beast race from ascending to godhood has now been abolished. According to our agreement, you should be standing with me."
"Hmm?"
Understanding something, the black energy hastily interjected, "Although this one does not know what cooperation you have with the God-King of Thunder, you must think carefully, Silver Dragon King. If the God Realm can cancel a rule, it can also set a new one."
