Douluo: I founded the mecha tribe and I am the king of mecha battles!

Chapter 278 Only Five Minutes

Gu Yuena's silver dragon spear trembled slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her purple eyes. Chen Zhou's conditions seemed simple, but they touched upon the most core taboo of the dragon race—what the dragon soul meant was something she, as the Silver Dragon King, knew all too well.

"The Dragon Soul belongs to you?"

Her voice was punctuated by the crisp sound of ice shards colliding, "Do you know what you're asking for?"

Xuan Li suddenly climbed off Chen Zhou's shoulder and snuggled into his warm and safe embrace, pointing her little finger at the intertwined red and blue phantoms in the air: "Brother, are you going to help Xiao Long go home?"

Her emerald green eyes reflected the dragon soul's agonizing contortions. "They're being torn apart so badly."

Chen Zhou said softly, "Brother wants to find a new home for Xiaolong."

Then he looked at Gu Yuena. Even though he still had a smile on his face, his indifferent gaze made Gu Yuena's heart tremble.

“I will not do what you think. On the contrary, handing these two dragon souls over to me is the best outcome for them.”

Hearing Chen Zhou's explanation, Gu Yuena understood his intention. The Ice and Fire Dragon King's soul had nearly dissipated after ten thousand years of depletion, and even if it merged into her body, it would be difficult to restore its complete consciousness. On the contrary, Chen Zhou controlled a more profound power, which might truly allow the dragon soul to be reborn.

".good."

Gu Yuena finally loosened her grip on the Silver Dragon Spear, her silver hair slowly falling amidst the turbulent energy flow, her eyes radiating a gentle tenderness.

After all, if Chen Zhou really wanted to do something, there was nothing he could do to stop him.

Being able to explain oneself is a privilege enjoyed by only a select few.

Chen Zhou chuckled and nodded, then suddenly lifted Xuan Li high in the air: "Then let our little princess preside over this ceremony."

Xuan Li flailed her legs in panic, but quickly calmed down after sensing the familiar fluctuations emanating from the dragon soul in the air. Alchemy patterns identical to Chen Zhou's appeared deep within her emerald eyes, and her delicate fingers began to unconsciously trace patterns in the air.

"Do it this way first, then do it this way."

Amidst the innocent voices of children, the energy of the entire Yin-Yang Well suddenly formed an orderly vortex.

Alchemical patterns formed alchemical matrices, which interconnected to create a vast alchemical array. The intertwined ice and fire dragon souls in the sky were gently drawn by the power and slowly converged towards Xuan Li's outstretched hand.

"Well done."

Chen Zhou spoke gently, nuzzling Xuan Li's cheek against hers, then wrapped one arm around her while extending the other, "But there's still a little something missing."

After saying that, countless alchemical runes were instantly inscribed between heaven and earth. Chen Zhou's strength, which had been constantly expanding his spiritual world, could no longer be measured by his soul power cultivation. Alchemists do not necessarily need their own energy to perform alchemy!
At this moment, the rich energy in the valley swept in as if drawn by a siphon, supplying Chen Zhou with his actions.

The alchemical matrix in Chen Zhou's palm emitted a dark light that devoured the light of the heavens.

The energy accumulated over ten thousand years by the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire was like encountering a black hole, with a torrent of red and blue water surging back and pouring into the floating runes.

Xuan Li curiously reached out and touched the nearest alchemical pattern, the trajectory of starlight reflected in her emerald pupils—it was an energy flow method completely different from Chen Zhou's, a rhythm closer to the origin of life.

"Reverse reconstruction".

Chen Zhou's voice seemed to come through a curtain of water.

Gu Yuena saw him holding Xuan Li in his left arm, while his right fingertips guided two dragon souls into the center of the alchemical matrix. The intricate geometric shapes suddenly began to replicate themselves, constructing a three-dimensional dragon nest in the void. The phantom of the Ice and Fire Dragon King writhed in agony within it, but its ferocious aura gradually faded.

Liehuo Xingjiaoshu suddenly trembled violently: "Stop! You will destroy the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye!" Gu Yuena's silver dragon spear suddenly appeared in front of the immortal herb, the tip of the spear only millimeters away from its main stem: "Say one more word, and I will let you perish before this place."

The octagonal ice grass transmitted a mournful cry through its consciousness fluctuations: "After Lord Silver Dragon King altered his energy structure, we will all die."

Even though they are plant-type 100,000-year-old soul beasts, if they are separated from their environment, the heavenly tribulation will fall on them without hesitation.

Having no combat abilities whatsoever, they had no chance of survival against the Heavenly Tribulation, which was designed to imprison the path of soul beasts' advancement.

Gu Yuena loosened her grip slightly, and the Silver Dragon Spear slowly retracted, but her eyes remained icy. She surveyed the plant-type soul beasts growing deep within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, her heart filled with a mixture of anger and pity.

Chen Zhou seemed to have noticed Gu Yuena's condition and Xuan Li's reluctance in his arms, so he spoke up and said, "Don't worry, I still have a use for these guys, so naturally I won't let them die like this."

This is not an exaggeration.

The remaining dimensions of the Beast Machine World have been desolate for countless years under the War King's Decree.

Chen Zhou did not intend to simply let this plane become the place where he created his mechanical beast warriors.

Of all living things, what could influence the universe more than plants?

After the evolution was complete, the two dragon souls completely disappeared into Chen Zhou's brow, entered his spiritual world, and fell into a deep slumber.

"now you."

After carefully storing the precious dragon soul, Chen Zhou turned to the dragon girl with snow-white hair. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her face, adding a touch of color to her already frosty complexion. Gu Yuena unconsciously gripped the silver dragon spear, the dragon scale patterns on the weapon's surface opening and closing slightly, as if it too were yearning for something.

"I will help you condense and concentrate the energy within the dragon bone, so that the absorption efficiency will be faster."

Chen Zhou modified the original alchemy matrix, connecting it to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire in front of him. "As a condition of the deal, I'd like to ask you to play with Xuan Li for a while?"

Xuan Li, who was focused on observing the glowing alchemical patterns on the ground, immediately rushed towards Gu Yuena upon hearing this.

Caught off guard, the Silver Dragon King was suddenly embraced by the little girl. His perpetually cold body stiffened reflexively upon contact with the warm, soft life within him. The silver dragon spear clattered to the ground and vanished in a flash of silver light.

"Sister is so beautiful!"

Xuan Li tilted her head back, her emerald green eyes reflecting Gu Yuena's bewildered face. "Xuan Li, may I touch your hair?"

That little hand, covered in mud and bits of grass, had already grasped the ends of the silver hair.

Gu Yuena's violet pupils widened slightly. She wanted to push away this impetuous little fellow, but found her fingers uncontrollably combing through his disheveled hair—the protective instinct for the cub deep within her dragon bloodline was fiercely battling against her rationality.

"Only five minutes."

She said this as if in resignation.

The fragrant, ethereal herb was horrified to discover that its roots were detaching from the soil. The transparent, glowing roots stretched out in the air as if alive, floating together with the herb before Xuan Li. When the little girl curiously touched its petals, the entire herb suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly rich fragrance.
