Chapter 91: The Dragon Essence and the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena!
Star Dou Forest, Core Region — Deep beneath the ground, inside a hidden cavern.
After the livestream ended—
Everyone gradually exited, and the savage beasts like Di Tian were no exception.
"Lord Di Tian, hurry and take out the Dragon Essence! We want to see what it looks like!"
The moment they returned, the Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Mastiff, Chi Wang—whose lion-like body was deep red and bore three ferocious mastiff heads—spoke up with excitement.
Hearing this—
Other powerful beasts like Bi Ji, Zi Ji, Xiong Jun, and even a small golden creature resembling a lion with dragon claws and a crimson-gold vertical pupil—curiously gathered around.
"I got it," Di Tian responded in a deep voice, understanding their anticipation.
He then connected with the livestream system.
"Livestream, bring out the Dragon Essence I received!"
Although the system had announced the reward as soon as Di Tian answered correctly—
He still had to claim it manually.
As Di Tian spoke, a flash of golden light lit up—
And a translucent golden pearl filled with surging energy and vitality materialized in his hand.
The moment Di Tian and Zi Ji laid eyes on it—
As dragons, they felt a deep yearning stir in the depths of their bloodlines.
One taste of that Dragon Essence—and their dragon blood would evolve!
That was their instinctive thought the moment they saw it.
"This is the Dragon Essence? It looks like just a little bead… but the energy inside is so pure and vast. Incredible!" Chi Wang murmured in awe.
"Lord Di Tian, are you going to absorb it yourself?" Xiong Jun asked, noting how Di Tian seemed lost in thought.
"No," Di Tian replied solemnly. "I want to present it to our Lord first. If it can help her evolve, she may finally recover from her injuries. Compared to me, she needs it more."
Previously, Di Tian had considered absorbing a Dragon Essence simply because he didn't know what form it would take.
But now that it appeared as a physical item—
He had no intention of consuming it without first consulting the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.
He began connecting with her.
Although she had hidden herself in a secret space beneath the Lake of Life to avoid the attention of the gods—
As a fragment of the Dragon God embodying his wisdom and elemental mastery, Gu Yuena could still observe the outside world via spatial manipulation and divine sense.
Not to mention, she had also been pulled into the livestream.
Even if she hadn't, she would still have known about Di Tian's Dragon Essence reward.
Moments later, a silver portal appeared within the cavern.
It was the entrance to Gu Yuena's hidden space.
Di Tian stepped through.
Darkness engulfed his vision—
And after the sensation of passing through a spatial rift, his surroundings resolved into a vast and dazzling silver palace.
Before him lay a colossal silver dragon, her purple gemstone eyes gazing down from above.
Even in her draconic form, without assuming a human guise—
She radiated pure beauty.
Her glimmering silver scales gleamed like crystal. A long, elegant tail, a slender body, a proportionate neck, a large yet exquisitely shaped head, graceful backward-curving silver horns, and massive violet eyes like flawless amethyst.
She was the very embodiment of grace, balance, and perfection.
Truly, the one and only goddess of Douluo Continent.
"Lord Di Tian greets Her Majesty!"
"This Dragon Essence is a reward I received just now in the mysterious livestream. I'm not sure if it's useful to you."
Di Tian knelt before Gu Yuena, speaking reverently as he offered the Dragon Essence with both hands.
"Let me see."
Gu Yuena reached out a single claw, summoning the Dragon Essence with her divine power.
She observed the orb carefully with her violet eyes, then extracted a wisp of energy from within to test its effects.
But in the end, disappointment flickered in her gaze.
"No… This Dragon Essence won't help me," she said, shaking her head with a sigh as she handed it back.
Its energy was indeed massive—
But it was tailored for soul beasts who hadn't become gods.
To her, it was barely significant.
Its True Dragon origin might help Di Tian's bloodline evolve—
But to her, a divine fragment of the Dragon God—
It was meaningless.
She'd benefit far more from absorbing a true Golden Dragon.
If she could merge the Golden Dragon's energy with her own Silver Dragon force, she could recreate Dragon God Power.
And with that power, she could cleanse the divine energy remnants of gods like the Asura God left inside her.
"Di Tian, you should keep the Dragon Essence and absorb it."
"It won't help me much, but it could be incredibly beneficial to you."
"If you fully absorb it, your bloodline may evolve—and with it, the potential to become a million-year soul beast."
Di Tian bowed his head. "Then I shall go and absorb it immediately, Your Majesty."
"Go," Gu Yuena nodded, opening another silver portal and sending him back to the surface of the Star Dou Forest.
At the edge of the Lake of Life—
As Di Tian reappeared, Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python instantly bowed.
"Greetings, Lord Beast God!"
Di Tian casually waved them off. "No need to mind me. Stay here."
He then rose into the air—
And holding the Dragon Essence, flew off toward the outskirts of the forest.
