Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

At this time, the Dragon God did not appear in his true form, but instead transformed into a human form.

It was a man who looked to be in his thirties, with somewhat indistinct features, wearing an extremely luxurious nine-colored robe.

The dress was colorful but not at all gaudy; instead, it exuded an indescribable nobility and mystery, as if it had gathered all the magnificent colors in the universe into one.

Faced with Lu Jun's arrogant attitude that almost disregarded the dignity of the dragon race, and his obviously superior gaze that was even condescending, the Dragon God showed no anger whatsoever. On the contrary, he was unusually polite, and his tone even carried a hint of ingratiation:
"Your Excellency should know that you humans are a race that is subject to the laws of the universe."

"Humans are the most intelligent of all beings. Although they were weak at the beginning, they possess wisdom and boundless creativity that we beastmen can hardly match."

He abruptly changed the subject, his tone becoming serious and ambitious:
"Both of us are now at the highest level of God-King, standing at the pinnacle of cultivation in this known universe."

"However, if we want to go further and transcend the existing constraints, we must do something against the heavens—to advance the God Realm to a God Star, to break through and even shatter the limitations imposed on us by the laws of the universe!"

The Dragon God stared intently at Lu Jun, his voice filled with seductive power:

"Your Excellency, your strength is unfathomable, in no way inferior to mine. If the two of us can join forces and lead the Dragon Clan to attack the God Star, we can directly shatter the shackles of the cosmic laws!"

"I believe that from this day forward, nothing in this vast universe will be able to stop us. You and I will become the true masters who transcend everything!"

However, faced with this grand blueprint that would tempt any powerful figure, Lu Jun's answer remained a cold three words:
"impossible."

His gaze remained indifferent as he looked at the Dragon God, as if he were looking at a lost soul walking towards a precipice without realizing it.
"At this stage, it is impossible for us to defy the laws of the universe. That would be like throwing an egg against a rock, courting our own destruction."

He paused, then continued:

“I’ve already advised you that there’s no need to rush to challenge the God Star right now. Your accumulation is not enough, and you haven’t fully digested and controlled the power you’ve plundered from your body.”

"If you can patiently wait for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years to fully understand and solidify your foundation, then you may still have a chance of success."

The Dragon God frowned slightly, but instead of being angry, he asked with a hint of curiosity:
"I wonder why you are so certain that even with our combined strength, we will still be defeated?"

Lu Jun's lips curled into a barely perceptible sneer as he explained:

"Because you are now like a balloon that has been forcibly inflated far beyond the limits of its own material."

His gaze seemed to penetrate the dragon god's magnificent robes, looking directly at the core of his power:

"You killed the Phoenix God King and stole His power of creation, using it to forcibly strengthen yourself, allowing the two extreme forces representing destruction and creation to achieve a fragile balance within your body."

"Not only that, you have plundered almost all the ultimate elements and the various powerful primal abilities in the universe... It can be said that you have all the top-level abilities that this universe should have."

“But…” Lu Jun’s voice suddenly turned cold, like an ice pick piercing the heart, “These powers, in essence, do not truly belong to you.”

"They were forcibly combined by you, and while they appear powerful, they are actually full of conflict and instability."

"You are indeed very strong, strong enough to be my match, I admit that."

"But right now you are an extremely unstable, walking source of disaster. Normally it might be harmless, but once you try to impact a god-like star, triggering a violent backlash from the very foundations of the universe's laws..."

"The laws of the universe don't even need to attack you directly; they only need to slightly disrupt the balance between the forces within you... and the outcome is already decided."

Lu Jun didn't say anything more. He snorted coldly, not looking at the Dragon God again, and turned to leave this sacred land of the Dragon Clan, leaving behind only a resolute and unequivocal statement:
“I don’t want to cooperate with someone destined to die. There’s no need, and I have no interest.” “Sir…please wait!”

Seeing Lu Jun's resolute attitude and his turning to leave, the Dragon God couldn't help but speak again, his voice carrying a barely perceptible urgency and pleading.

Facing Lu Jun's relentless retreating figure, the Dragon God's voice rose a few decibels, filled with questioning and resentment:
"What exactly do you want in order for you to lend my dragon race a hand and join me in our assault on the God Star?"

"If this matter succeeds, it will be of immense benefit to you and to my entire dragon race. It is the only way to reach a higher dimension!"

His tone grew increasingly agitated, carrying a seductive urge to awaken the other person's ambition:

"Are you content to remain at this level forever, without ever wanting to glimpse the scenery at a higher level?"

"Are you truly willing to be forever suppressed and bound by the laws of the universe, unable to truly transcend and be free?!"

The Dragon God's stern questioning echoed throughout the Dragon Clan's sacred land, carrying a sense of tragic grandeur and obsession.

However, Lu Jun only paused slightly, slowly turned around, and his icy blue eyes remained calm and composed, showing no emotion whatsoever.

"I told you, in your current state, there's no way you could possibly defeat the laws of the universe."

"That's not courage, that's foolish suicide."

"You have so little confidence in yourself?!"

The Dragon God frowned, unable to understand why the other party was so cowardly.

"I have great confidence in myself," Lu Jun said calmly, the Ice Abyss Sword he held seemed to be one with him, emitting a faint, cold light.

"But I have absolutely no confidence in you, in that forcefully cobbled-together, dangerously powerful force within you."

He paused, his tone still calm, yet carrying an undeniable force and threat:
"Of course, if you are unwilling, you are welcome to try now. Use all the power of your dragon clan to keep me here. Why not guess how many dragon kings it would take, and even what price you yourself would have to pay to do it?"

The Dragon God remained silent.

He knew better than anyone how terrifying this human was.

That Ice Abyss Sword nearly annihilated him completely.

If a real battle were to break out, even if the Dragon Clan could barely hold off the enemy due to their numerical advantage, they would suffer a severe blow, with less than one-tenth of their top combat power remaining, making their attempt to reach the God Star a pipe dream.

He couldn't afford that price.

A profound sense of powerlessness welled up within him. The Dragon God took a deep breath, as if making a difficult decision, and the nine-colored radiance around him dimmed slightly.

He suppressed all his imposing manner, his tone became low, and even carried a hint of pleading.

"So... since you are unwilling to help, could you... after my dragon race's failed attempt to reach the divine star, out of consideration for our past acquaintance, extend your protection and allow my dragon bloodline to continue?" (End of Chapter)
