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

In a deeper space beyond Lu Jun and Wu Siduo's perception, the dragon souls of the nine dragon kings were concealing their forms, watching Lu Jun outside with complex expressions.

"Should we... go out and meet up with Lord Lu now?"

The Water Dragon King's dragon soul asked softly, his tone tinged with a mixture of expectation and hesitation.

"Meet up my ass!" The fiery-tempered Fire Dragon King Dragon Soul immediately roared in rebuttal, "Have you all forgotten Lord Lu Jun's strict orders from back then?"

"Until he actively recovers his relevant memories and his cultivation reaches a certain level, we must not reveal any information about his past life to him in any form!"

"Otherwise, this would harm him, immediately intensifying the perception and suppression of him by the laws of the universe!"

The Dark Dragon King also said in a deep voice:

"The Fire Dragon King is right. Lord Lu is still too weak."

"Although the Ice Abyss Sword in his hand seems to contain a lot of power, it feels more like a one-time life-saving trump card that cannot be used casually."

Upon hearing this, the Light Dragon King's soul couldn't help but roll its eyes in a phantom manner, then looked at the Dark Dragon King:
"What, judging from your tone, you think Lord Lu is weak now?"

"Have you forgotten how he withstood the combined attack of the nine of us and managed to slay the old master with his sword?"

"Or are you perhaps thinking of taking this opportunity... to bully Lord Lu now and vent your anger from back then?"

The Dark Dragon King's soul, having his thoughts exposed, let out a low, chuckle.

"To be honest, I've actually had that thought..."

"At his peak, he was too strong, so strong that it was despair-inducing. He single-handedly suppressed all of us God-Kings, making it hard for us to breathe."

"Now that we've finally encountered a 'weak, pitiful, and helpless' version, just imagine if we could pinch his cheeks and ruffle his hair like we're teasing a child... that would feel so satisfying!"

Before he could finish speaking, several other dragon souls beside him, including the dragon kings of light, water, fire, and mountain, attacked almost simultaneously, launching a group attack on the dark dragon king!
"How dare you disrespect His Excellency Lu!"

"Find a fight!"

"Do you think you can just manipulate Lord Lu like that?!"

The reason is simple and consistent: Lord Lu has given orders not to approach or interfere.

Moreover, even though Lu Jun may seem weak now, the awe and trust they have for him, which comes from the depths of their souls, means that they would never allow anyone, including themselves, to offend him in the slightest.

……

Meanwhile, outside Dragon Valley, in Sun and Moon City on the Eastern Continent, at the Federal Branch Command Center.

Sitting upright in his wheelchair, Xu Tiandi, who was concentrating on directing the various army groups to deal with the Green Skull organization's counterattack, paused slightly and looked at the Shadow Guard who had appeared silently beside him like a shadow.

"Speaker, something's not quite right." The shadow guard's voice carried a hint of seriousness.

"Speak." Emperor Xu's gaze remained fixed on the massive strategic screen in front of him, his voice steady.

"The longest time we agreed with Lu Jun, Gu Yuena and others who entered Dragon Valley was half a day."

"But according to our monitoring... three whole days have passed outside, and there is still no movement at the entrance to Dragon Valley, nor have they returned as agreed."

Emperor Xu tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of his wheelchair:
"What about the Dragon Balls' signals? How do they indicate their situation?"

The shadow guard hesitated for a moment, but still reported truthfully: "The Dragon Ball's sensors show... all of their vital signs are very stable, even... stronger than when they entered, and there are no danger signals."

"Oh?" Emperor Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, finally shifting his gaze from the screen to the Shadow Guard, a glint of unfathomable light flashing in his deep eyes.

"Since they are safe and seem to have gained considerable benefits in Dragon Valley, what are we still worried about?"

He turned his attention back to the strategy screen:

"The longer they can stay in Dragon Valley, the greater their gains and the deeper their potential is explored."

"If they can fully mature in the next few years and become the pillars of the Federation, then... our chances of winning against the Abyss will increase by 10%."

The shadow guard seemed to still have some doubts, hesitating to speak, but finally couldn't help but whisper:
"Speaker, is the threat from the Abyss... really that great?"

"Does it really require us to take such a desperate gamble and pin our hopes on the rapid growth of these young people?"

Emperor Xu remained silent for a moment, then slowly raised his right hand, in which lay the cane.

"This divine artifact in my hand has a certain connection with the origin of the Douluo plane." Emperor Xu's voice was deep and serious. "The message it conveys is very clear. The threat of the Abyss is unprecedented, and its terror is far beyond what can be completely resolved by relying on a single Eternal Heaven."

He paused, then uttered the news that made the shadow guard's face turn deathly pale:

"And the Douluo plane vaguely warns me of the deepest part of the Abyss plane..."

"There exists a being of god-king level."

Inside the command center, the atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.

"A...a god-king?!"

The shadow guard's voice trembled with disbelief, and he froze on the spot as if he had been doused with ice water.

As Xu Tiandi's confidant, he naturally had access to some secrets about the ancient god realm that were strictly controlled by the Federation's high command, especially some of the non-public notes left by the legendary Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao from ten thousand years ago.

He knew clearly the power hierarchy in the divine realm: priests, third-level gods, second-level gods, first-level gods, and the God-King who was at the pinnacle of power and authority in the divine realm!
Each God-King is a supreme being who wields power over a region and looks down upon all living beings; they are the true rulers and cornerstones of the divine realm.

But now, the Speaker is telling him that deep within that abyss plane, filled with filth and a desire for devouring and destruction, there also exists a terrifying being at the level of a god-king.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, completely overturning his understanding.

"Chairman...Chairman!" The shadow guard's voice was hoarse. "On our Douluo Star, it's incredibly difficult to even produce a formal priest these days."

"Faced with a true god-king... how should we resist?"

"This is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

Xu Tiandi's gaze remained steady. He turned his wheelchair to face his longest-serving and most trusted subordinate:
"You've been by my side the longest and have witnessed many secrets, which is why I'm telling you all this today."

He slowly raised his hand, pointing vaguely ahead, as if sketching the long scroll of Douluo Star's history:

"You should know that the Douluo Continent today has a much deeper foundation and potential than it did 20,000 years ago."

"Twenty thousand years ago, the Sea God Tang San and the Soft Bone Rabbit Xiao Wu faced off against the Angel God Qian Renxue and the Rakshasa God Bibi Dong. That earth-shattering battle between two gods, though intense, also caused considerable damage to the Douluo Continent. The all-out fight of four beings above the level of first-level gods almost shook the foundation of the continent."

"However..." Emperor Xu's tone shifted, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, "Ever since ten thousand years ago, when that mysterious ice sword from beyond the heavens tore through the sky, carrying its power as it crashed into Douluo Star, it not only severed the direct connection between the God Realm and the Douluo Continent, but its dissipated laws and energy have also subtly and greatly nourished and elevated the entire Douluo Plane's level and upper limit."
