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

Despite her immense anxiety and wishing she could travel through time to stop the disaster, Gu Yuena quickly forced herself to calm down.

There's no point in wallowing in useless emotions. The most important thing now is to extract as much information and lessons as possible from this fragment of the Dragon God's memory.

She continued watching intently.

Upon closer inspection, Gu Yuena discovered that, in addition to the ten mighty dragon kings who shook the universe, there were actually seven or eight other powerful beings at the level of god-kings within the main hall.
This does not include Lu Jun, whom she considers an outsider.

Among them, the number of human deities is quite considerable, with three reaching the level of God-King, and two others having auras extremely close, which can be called half-step God-King.

However, their positions were quite far back, clearly lower than the Ten Dragon Kings.

Ahead of them were several powerful divine beasts who were not dragons, but also exuded the aura of powerful god-kings.

This formation clearly shows that in the Dragon Realm, the Dragon Clan holds an absolute and supreme dominant position.

With the Dragon God, the supreme god-king, presiding over the race, all races revere the dragon race, and the overall strength of the dragon race far surpasses that of other races.

Lu Jun, though human, is the only supreme god-king among humans, and theoretically should be on equal footing with the Dragon God.

But strangely, the way those human god-kings looked at Lu Jun was not the same as the closeness between their own kind. Instead, it was full of alienation, fear, and even a hint of hostility.
There was clearly no desire for them to communicate.

Lu Jun himself appeared completely detached, leaning against a pillar and feigning sleep, showing no intention of representing the interests of the human race or communicating with his fellow humans.

"It seems that Lu Jun and the human god-kings of that time had a very deep rift..."

Gu Yuena thought to herself, although she didn't know the specific reason, this undoubtedly added more variables to the already complicated situation.

Judging from the current situation, the Divine Star Ceremony is imminent and cannot be delayed.

This doomed tragedy will inevitably unfold according to the trajectory of history.

……

"Enough! There's no need to argue anymore!"

The Dragon God's majestic voice, like a resounding bell, instantly silenced all the arguments.

He slowly rose from the dragon throne, his nine-colored robes fluttering without wind, and his magnificent aura, which seemed to transcend the constraints of the universe, swept across the entire hall.

"My mind is made up, the ceremony shall begin immediately!"

His gaze swept over the gods below, carrying an undeniable resolve and a hint of mad longing:

"By achieving godhood, we will transcend this universe and truly take control of our own destiny!"

"My Divine Dragon Realm has accumulated strength over countless ages, its foundation is solid, and the time has come; we cannot afford to miss it!"

"Those who belong to the Divine Dragon, follow me!"

"I will obey the Lord's order!"

As soon as the dragon god's voice fell, all the gods in the hall, regardless of race, bowed down, their voices converging into a torrent.

"hold head high--!"

A powerful and unrestrained dragon roar, brimming with unparalleled fighting spirit and blind defiance, suddenly burst forth from the dragon god's mouth.

This dragon's roar seemed to have triggered the laws of the entire Divine Dragon Realm, causing heaven and earth to resonate with it.

Drawn by their bloodline, the ten dragon kings immediately raised their heads and let out long and powerful dragon roars that reverberated throughout the heavens.

The next moment, the Dragon God strode out of the hall.

All the deities automatically parted to the sides, making way for the passage.

The ten Dragon Kings followed closely behind, followed by the powerful figures from other races, who surrounded their monarchs as they marched outwards in a grand procession.

The entire hall instantly became empty.

Only Lu Jun remained in that languid posture, leaning against the pillar, as if the scene that had just determined the fate of the universe had nothing to do with him.

No one called him, and no one paid any attention to him; he was like a completely forgotten and isolated being.

However, just as the gods departed and the hall returned to silence, Lu Jun's eyes, which had been closed, opened slightly.

He gazed in the direction the Dragon God had departed, a faint, yet undeniably mocking and pitying smile curving his lips. In a voice only he could hear, he uttered a few words: "Good words are useless against a damned devil..."

Gu Yuena felt a mix of emotions upon hearing these words.

Based on her understanding of Lu Jun and his previous conversation with the Dragon God, she could roughly deduce Lu Jun's state of mind at the time:
Lu Jun was indeed powerful at the time, enough to contend with the Dragon God.

But he was well aware of the terror and inviolability of the laws of the universe.

Not to mention that the Dragon God's state is like a powder keg that could explode at any moment; forcibly impacting the God Star would inevitably result in a backlash.

Although Lu Jun had the ability to cover the fallback, he was powerless to reverse the inevitable failure.

If he were to forcefully intervene, not only would he fail to save the dragon race, but he himself would likely be dragged into an abyss of no return by the uncontrolled power of the Dragon God and the backlash of the laws of the universe.

So, he chose to watch from the sidelines.

This is not indifference, but rather the only way to protect oneself and fulfill the bottom-line promise under absolutely rational consideration.

"I suppose... that's how it is."

Gu Yuena sighed silently in her heart, composed herself, and continued to follow the scene in her memory, looking at the high platform that determined her fate.

……

The Dragon God had arrived atop a colossal platform that seemed to reach straight to the heavens. The height of this platform was immeasurable, and it was surrounded by a thick, dense sea of ​​clouds formed from almost liquid celestial energy, which churned endlessly.

Even more strangely, standing atop this high platform, looking up, one sees not an ordinary sky, but the boundless depths of the universe.

Countless stars twinkled with dazzling light, so close that they seemed within reach, giving rise to a sense of grandeur and the power to command the cosmos.

At this moment, there are nineteen figures on the high platform, including the Dragon God.

Apart from the Dragon God, the other eighteen were all God-King level beings.

This includes the Ten Dragon Kings, as well as eight other powerful god-kings from different races.

Eighteen God-Kings!
This represents almost all of the core peak combat power of the Divine Dragon Realm.

Such a lineup is rare in the universe and is enough to sweep across any known star field.

However, even such a powerful force, capable of making any power tremble, was still filled with apprehension towards Lu Jun, who was alone, in the previous hall.

This gave Gu Yuena a more direct and chilling understanding of Lu Jun's strength and intimidation at his peak.

Gu Yuena could even sense that the countless stars, especially the ten brightest ones, were resonating with the high platform beneath the Dragon God's feet.

The boundless power of faith and the power of the stars, like rivers flowing into the sea, surged towards the high platform and the Dragon God from all directions.

"Ten major star systems... Is this the power of the ten star regions controlled by the Divine Dragon Realm?"

Gu Yuena's mind wavered.

Is it really that difficult to become a god?

With the Dragon God Realm at its peak, and eighteen God Kings assisting one Supreme God King, how could it still fail in the end?
And this led to the collapse of the entire realm and the fall of the dragon race?

Just how powerful are the laws of the universe?
Even supreme beings like the Dragon God and Lu Jun couldn't overcome it?

Thinking about this, Gu Yuena couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Even Lu Jun at his peak was eventually forced to abandon everything and become a spirit of the artifact to rebuild his cultivation. This was probably to avoid the punishment of the laws of the universe or some more terrifying threat.
"So, the strange power that's suppressing Lu Jun's spiritual essence, which even I have to use the power of the Dragon God to barely detect, could it be the power of the laws of the universe?"

A terrible thought popped into Gu Yuena's mind.

"In other words, the laws of the universe may have never stopped paying attention to Lu Jun?"

"So how exactly should he proceed on the path he's rebuilt?"

"How can we untangle this knot?"

Gu Yuena took a deep breath, suppressing her unease and confusion, and continued to watch intently.

The answer may lie in what follows. (End of Chapter)
