Chapter 89: The Tenth Livestream Begins — Question: Who Are the Nine Great Dragon Kings?
Morning, behind Notting Academy.
On a small hill that wasn't particularly tall, Lin Yan sat quietly beneath a tree on a patch of grass, awaiting the start of the tenth livestream.
Of course, he wasn't sitting on the hill where he had planted Ah Yin.
Still, out of concern for Ah Yin being lonely, Xiao Wu had taken to occasionally dragging the Shangqing projection to visit her. Right now, she was there with it, waiting to be pulled into the livestream alongside Ah Yin.
Though they were all on the same back mountain—
Thanks to the Mirage Dragon Pearl, Lin Yan had cloaked the surroundings with Mirage Dragon Qi, ensuring he remained undetectable.
Finally, at exactly 10 a.m.,
An invisible wave swept across the entire Douluo Continent.
Everyone's vision went black.
When it returned, what appeared before them was once again that familiar and boundless void, vast and deep like a cosmic starfield.
At the same time, a translucent screen appeared before every viewer.
Instantly, a flurry of messages began to flash across the screen.
[Dai Tianfeng: Haha! After fifteen days of waiting, the livestream is finally here! This round's reward will definitely belong to our Star Luo Empire again!]
Upon seeing his declaration, Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire, along with Prince Xue Xing, Meng Shenji, Zhi Lin, Bai Baoshan, and others, were all visibly displeased.
So what if you got lucky once and answered correctly? Don't get cocky!
[Marshal Ge Kong of Heaven Dou (disdainfully): Dai Tianfeng, don't flatter yourself. Last time was just a stroke of luck—your empire happened to host the mountain in question. If it had been in our Heaven Dou Empire, we would've answered it just as easily!]
Well said!
Many from the Heaven Dou Empire secretly applauded Ge Kong's words.
[Davis (mocking): Luck? Luck is part of strength too. If your crown prince is so talented, why didn't he get lucky? You're just bitter!]
[Zhu Xuanfeng: Haha! Exactly. Luck is also a form of power. Why do some Rank 89 Soul Douluo stay stuck their whole lives, while others break through to Rank 90 and become Titled Douluo? Luck plays a big role. When you lack it, you need to prepare more—talk is cheap!]
Watching the Star Luo Crown Prince Davis and his future father-in-law Zhu Xuanfeng echo each other's disdainful jabs—
Emperor Xue Ye and his ministers were seething.
[Ning Fengzhi: Let's not argue, everyone. It's not worth damaging alliances. There will be many more livestreams to come. A single win or loss doesn't mean much.]
Seeing tensions rising again, Ning Fengzhi gently tried to mediate.
[Xue Qinghe: @Xue Ye, @Ge Kong — Father, Marshal, please don't be upset. Teacher Ning is right, one win doesn't define the outcome. The livestreams will continue. One day our Heaven Dou Empire will win as well.]
After Ning Fengzhi, "Xue Qinghe"—or rather, Qian Renxue in disguise—spoke up too.
At this moment, Qian Renxue felt secretly relieved.
Perhaps due to some divine protection or unique circumstance, she had two livestream accounts—one as Qian Renxue, one as Xue Qinghe.
If she didn't have that, she wouldn't dare speak at all in the chat.
Her only concern now was that the livestream might one day broadcast scenes of her rebellion in the Heaven Dou Empire.
If that happened, all her years of deep-cover infiltration would be for nothing!
Just as Ning Fengzhi and Qian Renxue finished speaking—
The livestream entered its buffering phase.
The virtual screen faded—
And the cosmic-like illusion shifted into something new.
Suddenly, the void transformed into a dense, endless forest—an emerald sea of primal wilderness.
Massive trees, towering into the clouds, filled the screen.
As the camera panned, one could see enormous soul beasts roaming the thick canopy—
But they weren't the stars of this stream.
What drew everyone's attention were the dragons.
Countless dragons—some known, some long extinct—dominated the forest.
Species like the Tyrannosaurus Dragon, Thorn-Armored Spiketail Dragon, Golden Earth Dragon, Storm Wyvern…
Even entirely unknown and undocumented dragon breeds made appearances.
The livestream viewers were shocked.
How could there be so many dragons? Was this another realm—the dragon realm?!
No.
This was still the Douluo Continent.
But it was Douluo from hundreds of thousands—perhaps a million—years ago!
A time when dragons ruled the land.
And the enormous beasts that weren't dragons?
They weren't soul beasts either.
They were prehistoric primordials—like the Ten-Headed Sun Serpent from the Slaughter City.
But in that ancient age filled with endless monstrous beasts—
The Ten-Headed Sun Serpent would barely even rank.
The camera continued sweeping through the forest—
Displaying primeval beasts like the Pureblood Titan, Behemoths, Phoenixes, and more!
It then transitioned to the boundless ocean—
Where titanic creatures filled the waters: Black Tortoises the size of islands, colossal whales and dragons, tentacled monsters with suction cups the size of shields, and even the long-lost mermaid race.
The entire livestream chat was stunned.
Yet for the ancient beings of the soul beast clan—Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, Di Tian, and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King—
None of this was unfamiliar.
Because they had lived through that age nearly a million years ago.
Eventually, the camera stilled over a vast, serene stretch of ocean.
At that moment, a line of blood-red text appeared before everyone's eyes—
And the cold mechanical voice returned.
[Ding! Playback has ended. Q&A begins now!]
[Question: In the ancient era, who were the Nine Great Dragon Kings of the dragon race?]
[This round's reward: 1 Dragon Essence!]
