Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

"Explain to me what happened in the Dragon Realm."

The words fell.

That suffocating pressure vanished instantly, like the receding tide.

The waters of the Lake of Life began to flow again, the crouching beasts finally dared to breathe, and everything returned to normal.

But Gu Yuena knew

This is only temporary.

She stood there, her face deathly pale, her purple eyes filled with horror.

Asura God.

That was the voice of the Asura God.

One of the five great god-kings of the divine realm, the supreme being who governs slaughter and judgment, personally descended with his will.

Gu Yuena's fingers trembled slightly.

She didn't know what had happened in the Dragon Realm, but she knew she had to go to the God Realm immediately.

It's not a request, not a discussion, but a necessity.

The disappearance of the Dragon Realm and the arrival of the Asura God's will to question her were matters beyond her ability to handle alone.

She needed to know how much the divine realm had gained control, and even more so, she needed to know what changes had occurred in the dragon realm.

After all, that was the final resting place of the Dragon God.

Gu Yuena took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and anger surging in her heart. Without the slightest hesitation, her figure instantly transformed into a silver streak of light and soared into the sky.

Through the clouds, through the fierce winds, through the invisible barrier separating the mortal realm from the divine realm.

When Gu Yuena opened her eyes again, she was already standing on the edge of the divine realm.

Eternal radiance shines down, clouds surge, and temples stand tall.

This is the highest place in all planes, the dwelling place of the gods.

It is also... the place where the Dragon God fell back then.

As soon as Gu Yuena stepped into the realm of the gods, a chilling killing intent locked onto her.

She looked up.

Not far ahead, a figure stood in mid-air.

It was a tall, slender god, his entire body enveloped in dark red demonic runes, with a dark red light flowing around him like burning flames. His face was obscured by the light, but his blood-red eyes were coldly fixed on Gu Yuena, as if staring at prey that had stumbled into a trap.

Asura God.

Gu Yuena's pupils contracted slightly.

The last time she saw this god-king was on the day the dragon god fell.

More than 100,000 years ago, the Dragon God perished in the war of the gods. His enormous body collapsed and turned into a shower of light.

As a benevolent manifestation split from the Dragon God, she felt an overwhelming killing intent the moment she was born.

Those were the gazes of the gods of the divine realm.

They want to settle scores, eradicate the dragons completely, and make them disappear from the world.

Without hesitation, Gu Yuena didn't even have time to glance at the Golden Dragon King before turning and fleeing.

She traversed the void, the turbulent currents, and countless planes, finally escaping to the Douluo Continent, into the Star Dou Great Forest, and into the deepest part of the Lake of Life.

For over 100,000 years, she hid there, recuperating, enduring, and waiting.

The Golden Dragon King, the "other half" that embodies all the evil and madness of the Dragon God, chose to fight.

He fought against the gods on the battlefield where the Dragon God fell, vying for the divine power left behind by the Dragon God. In the end, he was sealed in the divine realm, never to escape for eternity.

The reason why the Silver Dragon King was not punished and sealed by the gods was largely due to her behavior at that time.

They escaped too quickly, so quickly that even the gods didn't bother to chase them.

After all, what threat could a newly born, critically injured, cowardly, and weak embodiment of goodness pose?

But now, she's come on her own initiative.

Gu Yuena met that cold gaze and slowly stopped.

She did not run away, nor could she run away.

Because running away won't solve the problem.

The Asura God looked at her, his blood-red eyes showing no emotion, only a cold scrutiny.

"Speak, Silver Dragon King."

His voice was as indifferent as frost, echoing at the edge of the empty divine realm.

"What exactly happened to the Dragon Realm? Why did it disappear?"

Gu Yuena pursed her lips.

Her resentment towards the gods in the divine realm was almost overflowing. The hatred that had been suppressed for over 100,000 years surged in her chest, threatening to break free of the constraints of reason.

But she knew now was not the time to turn against them.

Bear the burden of humiliation.

She understood those four words better than anyone else.

Therefore, on the way here, she kept thinking about a question.

What happened in the Dragon Realm?

The fact that the Asura God could personally descend and question him, and that the entire Dragon Realm could be completely erased from the Mirror of Surveillance, is no small matter.

After much thought, she could only come up with one possibility.

That day... there was an unusual movement in the Dragon God's legacy.

That feeling of rejection emanating from the Dragon God's heart, that absurd illusion that something had stolen the Dragon God's attention from his consciousness.

At the time, she thought it was the Golden Dragon King who had escaped, but now that she thinks about it...

The Golden Dragon King is trapped in the seal of the God Realm, how could he possibly affect the Dragon Realm?

Therefore, there is only one explanation.

Within the Dragon Realm, other changes have occurred.

An unexpected event that could trigger the Dragon God's legacy and cause the Dragon God's consciousness to react...

Gu Yuena took a deep breath, raised her head, and met the cold eyes of the Asura God.

"I don't know what happened in the Dragon Realm."

She spoke, her voice calm.

"But not long ago, there were some unusual occurrences in the Dragon God's legacy."

The Asura God raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly.

Gu Yuena continued, "I am the embodiment of goodness split off from the Dragon God, and there has always been some kind of connection between me and the Dragon God. That day, I clearly sensed that the Dragon God's legacy was not touched by the Golden Dragon King, nor by me, but by... something else."

She paused, then said, word by word:

"If the disappearance of the Dragon Realm is related to this matter, then the key is the being who triggered the Dragon God's legacy."

The words fell.

The Asura God fell silent.

A faint light flickered in those blood-red eyes, their expression unfathomable.

The Dragon God's legacy has been activated.

The Dragon Realm has disappeared.

He understood better than anyone what these two messages meant when put together.

because

The five great god-kings of today were all once subordinates of the Dragon God.

Including him, the Asura God.

In ancient times, the Dragon God was the ancestor of all dragons and a supreme being who surpassed all other gods.

These people were merely subordinates of the Dragon God back then, following that towering figure.

Later, the Dragon God perished.

In the war of the gods, the Dragon God fought against all the gods alone, but eventually died from exhaustion. His huge body collapsed and turned into a rain of light.

After the Dragon God's fall, these former subordinates became the rulers of the divine realm.

They have tasted the power.

They have tasted the sweetness of power.

They stood above all the gods, looking down upon countless planes below, enjoying the glory of being worshipped by all living beings.

Such days have lasted for over 100,000 years.

More than 100,000 years ago.

It is enough to make any being forget the humbleness at whose feet they once groveled before.

The Asura God's eyes narrowed slightly.

He couldn't imagine what would happen if a new dragon god were born.

Will that newly born dragon god come to settle scores?

Will they be asked to kneel down again?

What if... they take away everything they have now?

No.

Absolutely not.
