Douluo Jueshi, world modulation mode

If he were in Gu Yuena's position, as the Silver Dragon King, without knowing the future plot, he might genuinely go insane. There's absolutely no chance of turning this predicament around. The only solution is to wait for the God Realm to collapse on its own, but the probability of that is extremely small. After all, the collapse of the Divine Dragon Realm was due to the intervention of the cosmic consciousness, but the Douluo God Realm is far from reaching a point where it could trigger a crisis from the cosmic consciousness.

Born with such immense power, yet facing such a desperate situation.

This is a lack of raw power, which cannot be compensated for in other ways. Even sneaking away would be difficult, since traveling through the cosmos would inevitably expose one's god-level aura, alerting the Douluo God Realm. Relying on those spatial rifts is uncertain; it's like a lottery, you never know if you'll be sent to a place far from the Douluo God Realm. And even reaching the other side alive is a problem. If one is too strong, while they might safely pass through the spatial rifts, there's a possibility of attracting the Douluo God Realm's attention; if too weak, they might die within the rifts.

There's also the legendary stress-resistant King Di Tian.

Dou Er is actually a bit better off, knowing he has his tall boss to support him, and unaware that his boss is a hopeless romantic. But the pressure is still considerable, after all, as the son of the first Dragon King, he clearly knows how powerful the God King is.

"From the perspective of the dragons, you are really doing things that harm others without benefiting yourselves."

Even the most powerful race can't overcome a leader who is a complete idiot, leading everyone to glory only to plunge them into an abyss.

“But from a human perspective,” Anzhen said, “I am still very grateful to you.”

"Thanks to your efforts, the Dragon Clan has become so powerful that any god-level expert can trample on it, and the world has become the world of humankind!"

“Speaking of which…” An Zhen seemed to have thought of something, as if she had discovered a secret hidden in ancient times, “You and your husband and the Dragon God could not be spies for the development of humans into dragons, could they?”

The Light and Dark Dragon Kings: ...

"From this perspective, everything seems to make sense."

Anzhen was just talking nonsense at first, but the more she talked, the more logical it seemed!

"The Dragon God went mad and killed many Dragon Kings, which greatly reduced the pressure on the human gods. You two also helped, causing all the Dragon King-level powerhouses to be wiped out. Furthermore, in a sense of righteousness, you entrusted the Dragon God Realm to the strongest human god at the time, the Asura God, giving them nominal control over the Dragon God Realm."

"In order to solidify the status of human deities, the Dragon God even created a law—before a new Dragon God appears, no beast can become a god, thus eliminating the potential threat that dragons and other soul beasts might pose to humanity in the future from the root."

"After all, breaking this rule requires the emergence of a new Dragon God, but you have directly created the current situation, forcing the Silver Dragon King to not dare to show his face at all, making it impossible for a new Dragon God to appear."

"Clap clap clap!"

Anzhen applauded her own wisdom.

Very logical.

Everything makes sense now.

"What a magnificent plan for a golden age for humanity!"

Dragon Kings: ...

Unable to refute.

Because those were the things they and the Father God did, and the current prosperity of humanity is the result.

They, along with their father, destroyed the dragon race's past glory and then erased any hope for its future.

"Hiss~" A true dragon soul gasped, "So that's how it is?!"

An Zhen couldn't help but glance at them sideways. Who was this idiot speaking? Was they so easily fooled?

"Shut up!" The Light Dragon King, who oversaw the punishments of the dragon race, roared at the dragon soul. But inwardly, he couldn't help but wonder, were they, the true dragons, really as foolish and naive as this fellow claimed?
"Then why did the Silver Dragon King send you here?" The Light Dragon King looked at An Zhen.

An Zhen didn't answer, but instead asked, "You just believed what I said earlier all of a sudden?"

After all, he had mostly been the one providing the output previously.

What if he's just taking advantage of these guys because they've never seen the outside world?

Upon hearing this, the Light Dragon King gave a bitter smile, "Because I don't believe that the Silver Dragon King, who inherited the will of the Father God, would betray the Dragon Clan."

His gaze fell on the silver dragon spear in An Zhen's hand. "The fact that you were able to come here with this divine artifact that contains the aura of the Silver Dragon King already says something."

"Either you're lying and you're not her husband at all, and you snatched him from the Silver Dragon King. Although you haven't revealed your aura, I can sense from the degree of rejection this world has of you that you're still quite a distance from the threshold of a true God-King. Whether you're capable of doing this or your elders snatched him from you, it already shows that the Silver Dragon King is in a very bad situation, and the dragon race is in a very bad situation."

"In another scenario, you are not lying. But why didn't the Silver Dragon King come, but you did? She wouldn't be afraid to come, nor would she be unwilling to come, because these are all her people. She also desperately needs the Dragon God Core left behind by the Father God. With the Dragon God Core, as the Silver Dragon King, she would have a greater chance of suppressing the Golden Dragon King's madness, thus devouring him and allowing the true king of the dragon race to reappear in the world."

"But she didn't come. Because she couldn't come."

"She has a home but cannot return. What dire straits must she have faced to have no choice but to resort to such a desperate measure?"

An Zhen looked at the Light Dragon King with a strange expression. "What, after dying once, does your brain become smarter?"

The Dragon King of Light was speechless, unsure whether to nod or shake his head.

“The situation is different,” he said.

"From what you said earlier, I can tell that you think what I did in the past—killing the Water Dragon King and then my wife and I committing suicide—was very stupid."

"But if I were given another chance, I would at most choose to tell the remaining compatriots the truth, so that they could avoid waging war against the gods, leave the Water Dragon King as a protective umbrella for the dragon race, and then my husband and I would still commit suicide in order to awaken our father god."

"For us, a dragon race with the Father God and the Dragon God is a true dragon race. It was the Father God who brought the dragon race to such heights, and it was he who gave us, my wife and me, his power and bloodline, which made us beings comparable to the God King."

"Blind loyalty." That was An Zhen's assessment.

"The God-King is the King of all Gods, and the Dragon-King is the King of all Dragons."

"You possess the power of a god-king and the name of a dragon-king, but you lack the responsibility and commitment that a god-king and dragon-king should have."

The Dragon King of Light gently shook his head. "Think what you want."

Just then, under the watchful eyes of numerous true dragons, An Zhen suddenly asked the void beside her, "Seeing this scene, what are your thoughts?"

In the shadows of the world, a middle-aged man in a nine-colored robe stood there. The laws of destruction and creation were almost tangible on him, and numerous elements surrounded him like loyal subjects. Space and time were distorted because of his will.

Even the true forms of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life that Anzhen had once seen were far inferior to this thought in many ways.

Very strong!

And in such a place, the word "Dragon God" almost immediately came to An Zhen's mind.

He looked at An Zhen, a glint of light appearing in his usually calm, nine-colored eyes. "You are very peculiar."

"Aside from the few star systems that were once ruled by the Divine Dragon Realm, I have traveled through many star systems in the universe in search of the Divine Star and other supreme god-kings, but I have never seen a being like you who has taken on the form of a world before."

Anzhen attempted to use her omniscient authority to analyze the other party and find the weak points in the Dragon Tomb space.

Using the Asura Demon Sword and the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd...

"You seem wary of me and are intruding into this world," the Dragon God suddenly spoke. This strongest being Anzhen knew of didn't have the airs of a powerful figure; on the contrary, he seemed quite approachable. If it weren't for the imposing aura emanating from his every move, he would have resembled a middle-aged man taking a leisurely stroll by the roadside, speaking as if he were recounting what he had eaten the day before.
"Why bother with a dead dragon? With your current cultivation level, unless you actively expose yourself, even a god-king level being can't see anything. I only sensed something because of the special nature of this world—its rejection of you."

At the same time, the dragons saw Anzhen suddenly and inexplicably talking to thin air. The Light Dragon King vaguely sensed something, his tone losing its majesty, his voice sounding more like a child longing for his father, his expression excited and confused as he looked around, "Father God, Father God, is that you? Are you watching over us?" The Dragon God sighed softly, his figure manifesting in the void.

"Father God!"

Many dragon kings knelt down in excitement.

"Your Majesty!" The dragons bowed their heads and knelt in worship.

Outside Dragon Valley, the atmosphere of despair and confusion that had previously gripped the dragons in their current dire situation was completely replaced by boundless fervor and excitement. The bustling scene seemed to recreate the glory days of the dragon race. The Dragon God was the pillar of their spirit, their faith. For them, as long as the Dragon God remained, nothing could break them; their current predicament was only temporary, and one day, the dragon race would return to its former glory.

However, their god did not respond to them.

“You haven’t answered my question yet?” An Zhen reminded him, a hint of interest showing in his dark eyes. He saw the scene in Dragon Valley, where there was a dragon god’s soul, but the dragon soul seemed to be dormant, like a dead thing. But he didn’t expect to encounter a living dragon god’s consciousness here.

"Besides, a powerful being like you could have been resurrected long ago if you wanted to, right?"

"I am very tired," He said, startling the many dragons. They gazed at that noble figure, that once great being who reigned over the universe and controlled multiple star systems, now showing signs of aging and fatigue that should not have appeared on him.

"Even if we can be resurrected, so what?" The Dragon God looked up at the sky. "Do we want the tragedy of the past to happen again? The Dragon Clan and all the beings in so many star systems can't withstand another round of torment."

"The consciousness of the universe is the culprit that caused the collapse of the divine star in the past. It does not allow the existence of the divine star because the divine star has the potential to threaten it once it grows up. But how can a mere god-king compare to this vast universe?"

"Father God/Your Majesty..." the dragons murmured softly.

Their king seems to have really grown old.

“No.” Anzhen stared at the Dragon God, as if trying to see through him. “You failed once, but I don’t believe you didn’t find the reason for your past failure. It’s not that you can’t, it’s that you’re unwilling and don’t want to do it again.”

"How do you know?" the Dragon God asked.

“I have never come into contact with cosmic consciousness,” Anzhen said, “but compared to the entire universe, it should be like world consciousness to a planet.”

The Dragon God nodded slightly.

“Since that’s the case,” Anzhen continued, “He’s targeting God Star simply because He feels threatened. If that’s the case, then why not just submit to Him and form a beneficial symbiotic relationship? Planes without a Plane Lord find it difficult to mount an effective counterattack when they encounter a Plane Lord, and many may even fall as a result. So why not make God Star a being similar to a Plane Lord?”

“A cosmic consciousness that doesn’t have its own true form probably needs a representative to help the universe develop in a positive direction. After all, in many situations, the cosmic consciousness is probably unable to take action. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have needed to bewitch the Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King back then. It could have just killed you itself.”

It's a very simple logic: if you can't beat them, why not join them? Besides, the dragon race is an existence born within the universe, not an outsider like him.

Just like An Zhen before, when she couldn't fight against the world consciousness of the Douluo Continent, she tried to build a good relationship with the Girl of Destiny.

The Dragon God smiled, "You are very clever."

"Will this really work?" An Zhen asked rhetorically, after all, what he said was just theory, while the Dragon God was the one who had actually put it into practice.

As for why he said those things...

Sooner or later, when he grows to a certain level, he will also come into contact with the consciousness of the universe. And the Dragon God, who has fought against the consciousness of the universe before, can learn some experience from him.

The Dragon God nodded slightly. "That's feasible."

"To defy the will of Heaven is to invite death. To follow the will of Heaven is to have smooth sailing."

Defying Heaven? Heaven isn't so easily defied. It's merely the arrogant pronouncements of ants unaware of its vastness. And the Heavenly Dao, like a cold, indifferent mechanism, doesn't care about ants. The Great Dao has fifty parts, the Heavenly Dao forty-nine, and humanity escapes one. So-called defying Heaven is simply trying to seize this opportunity to change one's fate, which is itself a sliver of life left by the Heavenly Dao, and is permitted.

Even if one truly breaks through the limitations of their original world, it's merely moving from a small world to a larger one. Just like An Zhen, who transcended the Douluo Continent but arrived in the vast universe.

Even in the vast chaos, the Great Dao exists.

"That's such a rip-off!" An Zhen said, speechless.

"Even if these dragons did something very wrong to you and made you very angry, the Silver Dragon King did nothing wrong. She is your daughter, after all. You betrayed your own daughter, giving birth to her but not raising her. You gave her life, but left her in such a desperate situation."

You're so carefree, just dumping the mess on someone else.

"You seem to know quite a lot." The Dragon God looked at An Zhen with some surprise.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

He was just a dead dragon.

It was just that I suddenly saw the world take form and only showed up out of curiosity.

The Dragon God's eyes were devoid of any emotion, only an empty desolation remained. "My child is dead."

"I have fulfilled my final duty as the Dragon God, and I have also left my divine consciousness to ensure the inheritance of the Dragon God's position. The rest is up to their own destiny."

After saying that, the Dragon God's figure vanished.

His heart had already died completely with the passing of his wife and son.

"Father God/Your Majesty!"

An Zhen ignored the cries of the dragons, which sounded like they had lost their fathers. Well, in a way, they really had lost their fathers. An Zhen stepped into Dragon Valley, and this time, no dragons stopped her. Even the massive body of the Light Dragon King made way for her. Because of the Dragon Gods' previous attitude towards An Zhen, if their king didn't harbor any hostility, what was the point of their pointless obstruction?

Although there were some minor setbacks along the way, An Zhen didn't want to have made a wasted trip. If the Dragon God pulled any tricks, she'd just drag the entire Dragon Realm down with her.

In the heart of Dragon Valley, an enormous, seven-colored dragon sat on its throne. Each of its scales was like a seven-colored gemstone, irregular yet possessing a natural beauty, as if composed of thousands of magnificent treasures. Its proud and majestic posture faintly revealed the powerful figure that once reigned supreme over the universe.

"It lacks the colors of gold and silver."

It looks like an important crafting tool.

The Dragon Soul of the Dragon God.

However, it only had a dragon soul, without any consciousness. This dragon soul was like an empty shell, and it was missing a significant part of it.

Reflection of the Silver Dragon King.

An Zhen's hand, holding the Silver Dragon Spear, transformed into a silver dragon's paw with incredible speed. Under the sunlight, it shimmered with a nine-colored halo, full of beauty. The Silver Dragon Spear in her hand seemed to come alive at this moment. With a clear dragon's roar echoing in Dragon Valley, the Silver Dragon Spear transformed directly into a slender silver dragon. It held a silver dragon pearl in its mouth and pounced directly at the huge seven-colored dragon soul.

A resounding dragon roar echoed, revealing the vastness of history and the indescribable splendor of a golden age. It seemed to transcend time, arriving from the distant past to the present. In a daze, An Zhen seemed to see an era very, very far away from the present, a time when dragons soared in the sky, ran across the land, and swam freely in the ocean. It was an era belonging to dragons, but not only dragons; all races, under the leadership of the Dragon God, reached an unprecedented era of glory.

The dragon god's soul roared, and the enormous dragon soul transformed into countless seven-colored light spots that scattered, eventually forming a spherical nine-colored crystal in front of An Zhen. The surface of the crystal emitted a strange nine-colored halo. Compared to the other colors, the gold was extremely dim. As a brilliant silver burst out from it and transformed into a silver dragon spear, returning to An Zhen's hand, the divine halo emanating from the dragon god's core also dimmed.

"Boom——"

The earth sank, and mountains collapsed with a deafening roar. The entire world suddenly trembled. (End of Chapter)
