Douluo Dragon King: Here we come! Golden Dragon King!

On the shore of a quiet lake, there is no clear boundary between the sky and the water.

Two small figures stood side by side on the water.

They were barefoot, their toes barely touching the water's surface.

The two had extremely similar appearances, with the same silver hair, the same purple eyes, and the same facial features.

The only difference is that one has long hair and the other has short hair.

The long-haired girl's hair fell behind her shoulders, blending into the dark blue void; the short-haired girl's hair just touched her earlobes, making her look even cleaner and neater.

They look so alike that anyone who sees them would say they are the same person.

The long-haired girl looked calmly at the water at her feet and spoke first.

"You've developed a liking for the human world in just this short time?"

The short-haired girl didn't turn her head; her gaze remained fixed on the water.

"No."

"The human world is not what matters."

She lightly touched the water's surface with her fingertip, shattering the once smooth, mirror-like surface into countless tiny specks of light. These specks rearranged and slowly coalesced into a blurry outline.

It was a boy's face, the face of a six-year-old, with dark eyes, long eyelashes, and outstanding looks.

He was looking up, arms outstretched, lips slightly parted, shouting something, as if facing an unseen target.

That's how he looked when he stood in front of her.

The long-haired girl looked down at her reflection on the water, her eyes expressionless.

"Just because of that?"

Her words were barbed.

"You forgot your dignity because of one accidental act of showing off?"

"You are the Silver Dragon King."

The long-haired girl's voice turned cold as she spoke.

"The Soul Beast Lord who governs all Soul Beasts, you and I are originally the same being."

Why do you want to go to the human world?

To eke out a living?

Or have you actually developed some ridiculous feelings for a human brat?

"I have not forgotten that I am the Silver Dragon King."

The short-haired girl finally spoke.

Her voice was the same as the long-haired girl's, but also different; it lacked a bit of sharpness.

"I was just thinking..."

"Humans can be kind too."

The boy's reflection on the water's surface showed a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth as she uttered those words.

Of course, this is just an illusion caused by the swaying of the water.

"Humans and spirit beasts can coexist harmoniously."

After a moment of silence, the long-haired girl smiled.

"Harmonious coexistence?"

She repeated those four words.

"Soul beasts are now on the verge of extinction. The Spirit Pagoda keeps our people in cages and turns them into cultivation resources for human soul masters."

You call this harmonious coexistence?

"Do you think being kept in captivity is harmonious?"

The short-haired girl frowned slightly.

That's not all.

"Tell me, what else can I do?"

The long-haired girl suddenly turned her head.

"We both know that the crisis facing the soul beasts is real."

"The Silver Dragon King cannot be split. Your only option is to obediently merge perfectly with me and become the real me again."

"The real you."

The short-haired girl repeated the word in a low voice.

"Then what am I really?"

"You are a part of me."

The long-haired girl said, "You are just a branch of my personality. The main body is me. The meaning of your existence is to return to the main body one day."

The short-haired girl opened her mouth as if to say something, but then she realized that nothing seemed to sway the long-haired girl's mind.

Because what the other party said was true.

The crisis facing the soul beasts is real.

She has a secondary personality, and that's a fact.

The dominant personality has the power to take the lead, and the only path she can take is to resist fusion. Even if she is forced to merge into one, as long as she resists, the fusion will be flawed.

This is the only thing she can do: use her flaws to preserve herself.

There was a long silence, so long that the long-haired girl thought the conversation was over.

She turned around, ready to leave this sea of ​​spirits.

The short-haired girl spoke up: "Before you leave."

"After that boy was chased away, do you still remember that scent?"

The long-haired girl stopped in her tracks.

"belong……"

"The essence of half of our being."

The water surface jolted violently for a moment.

The long-haired girl turned around, her face unusually serious.

That spark of inspiration quickly transformed into contemplation, and then into a sudden, enlightening realization.

"Yes."

she says.

"It's this one."

"Golden Dragon King".

The short-haired girl nodded.

"The boy's body contains the aura of the Golden Dragon King."

The long-haired girl stood on the water, while the short-haired girl took a step forward.

"Let's make a bet."

"A bet?" The long-haired girl narrowed her eyes.

"Let's go and observe that boy together."

Go and observe whether the Golden Dragon King will…

The short-haired girl paused.

"Choose to coexist peacefully with humanity."

After a moment of silence, the long-haired girl smiled again—a genuine, confident smile.

"Are you betting with me on the Golden Dragon King?"

She countered with a question that even carried a hint of amusement in her tone.

"I know better than anyone what kind of character the Golden Dragon King is."

It treats humans as ants and all life forms other than soul beasts as food.

You actually want to bet with me whether it will choose to coexist peacefully with humans?

"So you're scared?" the short-haired girl asked.

"Afraid?"

The long-haired girl stopped smiling.

"Okay, I'll bet with you."

She took a step forward and stood in front of the short-haired girl.

Two identical faces were no more than a fist's distance apart.

"If I win."

As expected, the Golden Dragon King did not choose to coexist peacefully with humans.

You must willingly merge with me. Without resistance, without flaw.

The short-haired girl looked at her and then nodded.

"Can."

"If you win..."

The long-haired girl tilted her head, as if she was thinking about a condition that she didn't really need to consider.

"So what do you want?"

"We'll see," the short-haired girl said. "Let's keep it for now."

The long-haired girl stared at her for a moment, then nodded.

"make a deal."

She turned around and started walking.

"I am the main body of the Silver Dragon King."

Her voice drifted back from the front, carrying an innate pride and an unquestionable certainty.

"Gu Yue".

The short-haired girl stood there watching her back, her face reflected in the water.

"I am a branch of the Silver Dragon King."

Her voice was soft but steady, as if she were introducing herself to the world.

"Na'er".

Two names floated on the water, carried by ripples to the edge of the sea of ​​the spirit.

under night.

The shadow of the mountain range covered most of the sky. Di Tian stood on the edge of the cliff, with Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, Bi Ji and other ferocious beasts standing beside him, each of them silent.

Gu Yue stood in front of them.

Her long hair fluttered in the night wind, and her eyes gazed into the distance.

Looking in the direction that long steel train was heading, looking at the plain where the lights were gradually thinning.

Na'er has already retreated into the depths of her consciousness. The one standing here now is Gu Yue, the main body of the Silver Dragon King, and the supreme ruler of the soul beasts.

"My lord."

Di Tian spoke, his voice low and filled with undisguised confusion.

Why did you choose to appear in this world in this way?

Gu Yue did not answer Di Tian's question, but instead issued an order.

"Go to the East China Sea."

Di Tian was stunned for a moment.

"My lord?"

"Go to the East China Sea."
