Soul Land:The Dragon King's God of Nature

"These things are recorded in our family's ancient texts," Na'er answered frankly. Everyone knew that Na'er came from an ancient and mysterious family, so they didn't question her explanation.

"I learned it from the Spirit..." Gu Yue instinctively began, but then she noticed Jing Shaoyu's intense gaze and immediately panicked, quickly correcting herself, "I also read it in my family's ancient texts."

Hearing Gu Yue's response, Xu Xiaoyan leaned in close, her big eyes staring at her. "Something's off! Very off!"

"W-what's off?" Gu Yue forced a laugh.

"Are you and Na'er from the same family?" Wu Siduo said with a sly tone.

"Of course not!" Gu Yue denied outright.

"Then why do your explanations sound so coordinated and seamless? It's really weird!" Xu Xiaoyan said, puzzled.

"Actually, I've had doubts for a long time. Gu Yue, your Martial Soul is the Silver Dragon, and Na'er's is the Silver Dragon Lance. These two Martial Souls clearly have a connection," Ye Xinglan pointed out.

"Well, your Martial Soul is the Star God Sword, and Xiaoyan's is the Star Staff. Does that mean you two are related?" Gu Yue rolled her eyes, exasperated.

"Alright, let's get back to the topic of the Mountain Dragon King," Jing Shaoyu interjected, seeing that Gu Yue was about to lose her temper if they kept pressing.

"Hehe, what if I told you that Sister Gu Yue and I are actually twins? Would you believe me?" Na'er suddenly giggled, dropping a seemingly playful remark that made Gu Yue's eyes sharpen.

"No way!" Even the usually oblivious Mo Hentian didn't buy it. "You and Gu Yue look completely different. How could you be twins?"

"Exactly!" Xu Xiaoyan, Wu Siduo, and Ye Xinglan nodded in unison.

Jing Shaoyu simply watched them with an amused smile, saying nothing.

Gu Yue ignored the comment and swiftly changed the subject. "I used to think these records were just legends—until I saw Long Yue. Then I realized they were all true. The Mountain Dragon lineage actually exists, and there are even humans who can awaken the Mountain Dragon Martial Soul! No, more accurately, the Mountain Dragon King Martial Soul!"

"The Mountain Dragon King lineage has very few descendants, so their bloodline remains extremely pure. They are the True Dragons closest to the first-generation Dragon Kings!" Na'er added seriously. "Brother, you really need to be careful. This Long Yue is terrifying! He hasn't just inherited the Mountain Dragon King's Martial Soul—he also carries its bloodline! He's far stronger than someone like Sima Xian, who only has a basic dragon-type Martial Soul."

"Don't worry," Jing Shaoyu said with a smile, patting Na'er's head. "Even if Long Yue's Mountain Dragon King Martial Soul is strong, my Origin Elf Soul and Doomsday Godslaying Spear Martial Souls are even stronger!"

"Mhm!" Na'er nodded. That much was true.

If this were on Dragon Star, the outcome might be uncertain, but they were on Douluo Continent. Na'er had simply been overly worried.

By now, the match on the arena had ended. Sima Xian had fought with everything he had, yet Long Yue effortlessly defeated him in a single move. The strict hierarchy and bloodline supremacy of the dragon race were on full display in this battle.

Long Yue stepped off the arena with ease. When he returned to the waiting area, all the contestants instinctively stood up, gazing at him with reverence and admiration. The awed looks and worshipful expressions were palpable—if someone had shouted, "Hail the return of the Dragon King!" the moment would have felt even more fitting.

Only Jing Shaoyu and his six companions remained seated as if nothing had happened, utterly unperturbed.

Naturally, no brainless fans came to bother them. Long Yue merely smiled at them—or more precisely, at Jing Shaoyu. Today's match with Sima Xian hadn't fully satisfied him, and he now looked forward even more to facing Jing Shaoyu.

Meeting Long Yue's smile, Jing Shaoyu returned one of his own. Neither side had yet sparked any real animosity, after all, they had only clashed once so far.

"Hey, Gu Yue, does your Silver Dragon Martial Soul also belong to the Eight Great Dragon Clans?" Ye Xinglan withdrew her gaze and turned to Gu Yue, curiosity evident in her voice.

The question instantly piqued everyone's interest, and they all looked over. Given the abilities Gu Yue had displayed so far—a dragon capable of controlling seven elements—it was hard to imagine her lineage being anything but formidable.

"Yeah, yeah! Sister Gu Yue, your Silver Dragon Martial Soul must be stronger than that Mountain Dragon, right?" Xu Xiaoyan chimed in.

"Well..." Gu Yue hesitated.

"The Silver Dragon isn't part of the Eight Great Dragon Clans," Na'er interjected bluntly.

"What? How can that be?" Wu Siduo exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, the Silver Dragon isn't one of the Eight Great Dragon Clans," Gu Yue said, seeing Na'er speak up. To prevent her from revealing anything they shouldn't, Gu Yue took over the explanation. "But the Silver Dragon's status is indeed higher than the Mountain Dragon King's, because the Silver Dragon Clan was born directly from the Dragon God's bloodline."

"Legend has it that the Dragon God once wandered the world in disguise. His most commonly used forms were the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. The Silver Dragon Clan descended from his union with other True Dragons while he took the form of the Silver Dragon King, making them the true direct descendants of the Dragon God," Na'er elaborated.

"Thus, among dragonkind, Silver Dragons and Golden Dragons are also known as Imperial Dragons, signifying their royal lineage," Gu Yue added. "As royalty, the Silver Dragon's status naturally surpasses that of the Eight Great Dragon Clans and the Mountain Dragon."

"So that's how it is!" The four girls gasped in realization.

"Still, the origin of the Silver Dragon Clan feels a bit... haphazard," Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but complain. "Such a powerful dragon clan being born from an affair? That sounds pretty ridiculous!"

"Mhm!" The others nodded in agreement.

"A-afair?!"Gu Yue's mouth corner twitched." "How can you say that? The Silver Dragon Clan is universally acknowledged as royalty! And there's even the Silver Dragon King, a being stronger than the Nine Dragon Kings!"

Beside her, Na'er watched Gu Yue's flustered attempts with an amused smirk, while Jing Shaoyu observed her with a knowing smile, waiting to see how she'd dig herself out of this hole. The moment she told that first lie, she was doomed to weave more to uphold it.

Yes, Jing Shaoyu was skeptical of Gu Yue's account of the Silver Dragon Clan's origins.

"The Silver Dragon King?" Wu Siduo immediately seized on the key point. "What's that?"

"Uh—" Gu Yue's words caught in her throat. She rubbed her temples in frustration before sighing. "Fine. According to the records in my family's archives, there's a legend..."

The latest novel is first published on 69shu!

Legend has it that the Dragon God is the most ancient deity in this world. After the first few deities established the Divine Realm, He was invited to join and ruled over all the beast deities within it.

It is said that in the early days, the Divine Realm had five great Divine Kings who formed the Divine Realm Committee, governing not only the Divine Realm but also the countless planets beneath it. As the Divine Realm expanded and prospered, conflicts between human deities and beast deities grew increasingly frequent and intense.

Until one day, these conflicts escalated into hatred, sparking a war between human gods and beast gods. This war overturned the prosperous landscape of the Divine Realm. The Dragon King, leading the beast deities, engaged in a brutal conflict against the five Divine Kings leading the human deities. Countless deities perished in this war.

It was a prolonged and devastating war. In its final moments, the five Divine Kings surrounded the Dragon King. Though the Dragon King was the most ancient deity, He was no match for the combined might of five Divine Kings whose power was only slightly inferior to His. Ultimately, the Asura God, one of the five Divine Kings, cleaved the Dragon King in two with a single strike.

As Gu Yue recounted this tale, everyone listened in shock and awe, for such secrets of the Divine Realm seemed too incredible to be true—could this really be more than just legend?

Jing Shaoyu listened silently, knowing that ninety percent of what Gu Yue said was factual.

Unfazed by the reactions around her, Gu Yue glanced at Jing Shaoyu and, noting his solemn expression, continued, "But the Dragon King, born from the primordial chaos, was a supreme deity who could not truly perish. After being split in two by the Asura God, His two halves transformed into two great dragons.

These two dragons perfectly mirrored His dual incarnations—one with golden scales covering its entire body, the other with silver scales. One inherited the Dragon King's power and physical abilities, while the other inherited His spiritual and law-based capabilities. They became known as the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King.

The Silver Dragon King here is the progenitor of all silver dragons."

"This is truly astonishing," Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed.

"What happened next?" Ye Xinglan pressed. "What was the fate of the Dragon King and the beast deities in the Divine Realm?"

A flicker of something unreadable passed through Gu Yue's eyes as she solemnly replied, "It is said that the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings vanished without a trace, while the surviving beast deities were banished from the Divine Realm by the five Divine Kings. Moreover, the five Divine Kings issued an edict forbidding any beast race from ascending to the Divine Realm! This decree severed the path to godhood for all non-human creatures."

"How tyrannical!" Mo Hentian remarked with sympathy.

"That's far too tyrannical!" Ye Xinglan frowned deeply.

Wu Siduo remained silent.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Gu Yue's lips as she mocked, "See? This is the nature of humans! 'Those not of our kind must have different hearts,' hah!"

"Are you implying you're not human?" Na'er retorted. "To put it bluntly, the five Divine Kings lacked tolerance. If Brother had ruled the Divine Realm back then, the outcome would have been entirely different."

At these words, Gu Yue froze momentarily, while Jing Shaoyu's eyes twitched slightly. With a chuckle, he said, "Absolutely. I'm the fairest person around! I would never preach harmony between human and beast deities while secretly ostracizing the latter."
