What greeted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes was a sea of silver. 

It resembled a Western dragon similar to Di Tian, but unlike Di Tian's true form—the fearsome and grotesque Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King—this dragon exuded an aura of delicate beauty. 

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion carried traces of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline. Resembling a lion with scales adorning its body, it naturally appreciated the beauty of those scales and couldn't help but become entranced by the sight. 

However, as Di Tian began awakening the Silver Dragon King, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion snapped back to reality and realized that apart from itself and Uncle Di Tian, only these two humans had entered here. 

Even with its simple mind, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion sensed something amiss. 

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing here? 

Before it could recover from its existential crisis, the Silver Dragon King opened its eyes. 

They were violet gemstone-like eyes, breathtakingly beautiful in a way that stirred the soul. 

"Di Tian, why have you awakened me?" 

Perhaps due to sleeping for too long, the Silver Dragon King's voice sounded sluggish. However, it quickly detected an abnormal presence—this wasn't the aura of a soul beast! 

"Who dares disturb me?!" 

The Silver Dragon King hastily rose to its feet, unfurling its artistic silver wings. This movement also exposed its wounded abdomen, where gruesome scars remained unhealed even after ten thousand years. These were the wounds left by the Asura God King. 

Unlike Di Tian, whose shattered godhood left him barely clinging to life, the Silver Dragon King still retained its creation godhood. 

It was a genuine God King! 

With the Lake of Life acting as a barrier, Ye Wen could freely unleash his divine powers to protect his beloved disciple without restraint. 

"Calm yourself, Silver Dragon King. I bear no ill will, nor am I aligned with those who once harmed you in the God Realm. If you continue to act so rudely, I'll have no choice but to resort to force." 

Feeling the overwhelming fluctuations of a peak God King's power, the Silver Dragon King's pupils contracted. 

"This power… You're a Supreme God King!" 

Ye Wen nodded slightly. "As half of the Dragon God, you likely didn't inherit the Dragon God's full strength as a Supreme God King—or perhaps not even half of it. You're at best a High or Mid-Level God King. So, restrain yourself. Otherwise, I'll resolve this through violence." 

The Silver Dragon King fell silent for a moment, then slowly lowered its proud head, retracting its wings. Still, as the supreme ruler of the soul beasts, she sat upright on the ground, her long neck held high as she stared directly at Ye Wen. 

"State your purpose, human." 

Seeing this, Ye Wen frowned slightly. Though this parallel-world Silver Dragon King wasn't his wife from the original timeline, he still felt a tinge of irritation at her arrogance. 

Ye Wen flicked his fingers, and a luxurious high-backed throne appeared behind him. Simultaneously, an identical chair materialized across from him. 

With an expressionless face, Ye Wen said, "This form of yours is unsuitable for conversation. Transform into human form before speaking to me, Silver Dragon King." 

The Silver Dragon King hesitated briefly. Unlike the reckless Golden Dragon King, the Silver Dragon King inherited the Dragon God's wisdom and knew better than to act rashly without sufficient strength. 

After all, wasn't the Golden Dragon King currently missing in the God Realm, his fate unknown? 

A flash of white light later, the Silver Dragon King transformed into her human form. 

Ye Wen's expression remained unchanged, but Huo Yuer was captivated by the Silver Dragon King's beauty. 

This Silver Dragon King was identical to the one from Ye Wen's original timeline. Her waist-length silver hair swayed gracefully with each step, and her violet eyes, though calm, were enchantingly mesmerizing. She wore an opulent gown adorned with countless dazzling gems, exuding an air of elegance and nobility. 

Though forced by Ye Wen to assume a human form she disliked, the Silver Dragon King showed no signs of submission. With deliberate steps, she approached, each stride emphasizing her innate status as the sovereign of soul beasts. 

Once seated on the throne, she spoke again: "State your purpose, human." 

Ye Wen naturally understood why the Silver Dragon King harbored such hostility toward humans. After all, her predecessor, the Dragon God, had been cleaved in two by the Asura God King, leading to the creation of herself and the Golden Dragon King. 

But Ye Wen found it puzzling. After reviewing the battle over the years, he suspected the Asura God King wasn't an ordinary human. After Tang San inherited the Asura God position, he gained the bloodline of the Asura race—a lineage Ye Wen had yet to find any trace of on Douluo Star after all these years. 

It was perplexing. 

Leaning his head on his right hand, Ye Wen exuded a cold, arrogant demeanor. 

Having spent years interacting with dragons in his original world, Ye Wen knew exactly how to handle their stubborn pride. 

Dragons were undoubtedly powerful and arrogant beings. To earn their respect, one had to be even stronger and prouder than they were. 

They were truly a barbaric and violent race. 

Sure enough, after witnessing Ye Wen's overwhelming strength, his imposing demeanor caused the previously haughty Silver Dragon King's aura to waver slightly. 

But as the saying goes, when the master is humiliated, the servant must act. Di Tian, standing nearby, stepped forward to support the Silver Dragon King. 

However, a single glance from Ye Wen sent cold sweat pouring down Di Tian's spine, freezing him rigid in place. 

True, Di Tian had once been a God King—but merely the chief guard of the Dragon God. What need did a Supreme God King like the Dragon God have for guards? Thus, Di Tian's duties and battles had never been particularly intense. 

In contrast, Ye Wen had emerged from countless bloody battles. 

With both immense power and terrifying killing intent, it would be a miracle if Di Tian moved. 

The Silver Dragon King frowned in displeasure but did not intervene. Among soul beasts, the weak served the strong. 

Yet, even the sheltered Silver Dragon King felt a twinge of pity for Di Tian after years of his loyal service. 

"Enough, human! If you continue like this, you declare war on the soul beast race. Even if you're a Supreme God King, I won't hesitate to fight you to the death!" 

The Silver Dragon King's tone was firm and resolute. Ye Wen's eyes flickered with appreciation. This was the Silver Dragon King he knew—ruthless in achieving her goals, yet possessing her own brand of pride. 

The hostility dissipated, and Ye Wen finally got to the point. 

"I've come to propose a collaboration, Silver Dragon King." 

"Speak," the Silver Dragon King replied curtly. Already grievously injured and in need of restorative slumber, she was in no mood to be disturbed—let alone after what had just transpired. It was no surprise she treated Ye Wen coldly. 

Ye Wen understood the Silver Dragon King's temperament and didn't dwell on it. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Di Tian.
