Gu Yuena said, "You go ahead."
The Golden Dragon King nodded and said in a stern voice,
"Now with the Divine Realm's pursuers on our tail, we must race against the clock, otherwise we will all die."
"I don't want to spend another day sealed away."
Gu Yuena replied, "That's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about."
The Golden Dragon King's gaze locked onto Gu Yuena.
"The only plan for now is for you and me to merge and become the Dragon God again. Then we will have the strength to fight with the Divine Realm."
"That was my intention as well," Gu Yuena nodded in agreement.
The Golden Dragon King said decisively,
"Good, then it's settled. I need to heal my injuries first."
With those words, he glanced sidelong at the Asura God inside the Furnace Cauldron, said no more, and began to meditate, an astonishing force of qi and blood emanating from his body.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say his body was the most durable in the Divine Realm.
At this moment, Luo Yu said, "I'll leave for a bit to handle some matters."
"Go," Gu Yuena was very stoic, like a superior to a subordinate, showing no affection as lovers would.
Luo Yu turned into a streak of light and sped away, leaving Gu Yuena and the Golden Dragon King behind.
Once Luo Yu had completely vanished, the Golden Dragon King suddenly opened his eyes.
"Hmm?"
"Didn't you say you were going to recover your strength?" Gu Yuena asked in 'surprise'.
"That can wait. I have something important to tell you."
The Golden Dragon King looked in the direction where Luo Yu had disappeared.
"When the Dragon God led the Divine Beast Clan to fight against the Divine Realm, they too were defeated."
"Even if we were to become the Dragon God again, we would likely only have the choice to flee when facing the Divine Realm."
"That's true," Gu Yuena nodded. "But we don't have any other options, do we?"
"There is one; who said there isn't." The Golden Dragon King gave a smug smile. "The Dragon God's power is already formidable, but if we add a bit of external force, then we will have the capital to fight with the Divine Realm."
Gu Yuena puzzled: "What do you mean?"
The Golden Dragon King licked his lips and said with a mocking laugh,
"I don't know what kind of freak you raised that boy into, but now that he's rescued me from the Divine Realm, his value has been exhausted."
"If you let me devour that boy, my strength will quickly return to its peak, even surpassing it."
"Once we merge after that, our power will certainly surpass that of the former Dragon God,"
On the surface, the Silver Dragon King appeared calm, but internally she was already contemplating how to dismember the Golden Dragon King a thousand times over.
With her strong character, how could she possibly allow someone to plot against her man,
And in such a foolish manner no less?
"So... wouldn't that be too cruel?"
The Golden Dragon King sneered and humphed,
"That's a woman's mercy."
"Without ruthlessness, there is no real man."
"Sacrificing him will allow us both to live, and we will have the opportunity to help the Soul Beast Clan get their revenge. Why not do it?"
"His death is worth it. Besides the Dragon God, whose bloodline is more noble than mine, to be devoured by me? He should consider it an honor."
Gu Yuena hesitated, "Aren't we being too selfish by doing this?"
"His life should be his to choose."
"Humph!"
A flash of red light gleamed in the Golden Dragon King's eyes as he said fiercely,
"Silver Dragon King, don't forget who you are."
"Our mission is to help the Dragon Clan rise again, to turn the Divine Realm upside down, to rule over everything in this world."
"On the path to revenge and success, isn't it normal to sacrifice a few cats and dogs?"
"This definitely won't be a losing deal; it's very profitable."
"Besides, after he dies, the Dragon Clan won't forget him, the Soul Beast Clan won't forget his sacrifice, and we can extol him."
Gu Yuena sighed,
"You're really ruthless."
"Making a choice about life and death without even asking the other person..."
The Golden Dragon King said, "The weak don't have the chance to choose, they are destined to be dominated by the strong."
Gu Yuena stared at him intently.
"That guy just risked his life to rescue you from the Divine Realm, and you don't feel any gratitude at all?"
"No, I am grateful to him."
The Golden Dragon King licked his lips, his eyes brimming with cold indifference and greed.
"If he were a waste, I would just crush him underfoot without giving him a second glance."
"It's precisely because he is strong and has caught my eye that I want to devour him."
"His death won't be in vain; it will be a contribution to the entire Dragon Clan."
"What does the sacrifice of one person matter compared to the magnificent revival of the great Dragon Clan?"
Gu Yuena, who had been indecisive just before, now seemed almost persuaded.
Her expression, initially fluctuating, gradually solidified, and her fists clenched tighter.
"Good."
"Let's do as you say."
"For the magnificent revival of the Dragon Clan, for the glory of the Soul Beast Clan, and even more for revenge."
A fierce and triumphant light flashed in the depths of the Golden Dragon King's eyes.
"Right, that's exactly it."
"However, I see the kid has some strength; we'll need to scheme against him when we act.
"Don't give him any chance to resist, or else we'll suffer losses for no reason."
"Brilliant!" Gu Yuena's eyes widened in admiration: "They say the Golden Dragon King is brainless, but who would have thought you could be so cunning."
The Golden Dragon King burst into hearty laughter.
"The world laughs at my madness; I laugh at the world's inability to see through."
"Do you understand the saying 'Great wisdom appears foolish'?"
What it didn't know was that the Silver Dragon King was having a hard time keeping calm.
Despite not being pregnant, there was a sensation as if seeing the vast ocean...
Elsewhere, far away in the vicinity of a city.
Luo Yu carried the unconscious green-haired girl out and laid her on the grass.
Summoning the Spirit of the Plane, the Power of Heaven and Earth intensified, and his cultivation level soared rapidly.
He pushed his Creation God Pupil to the limit to observe the green-haired girl.
He found that she was just a deity with the Divine Origin barely condensed, not even reaching the status of a Third-level Deity.
He shook his head.
"With such a low cultivation level, you'd probably be nothing more than a servant girl in the Divine Realm."
"No wonder you would worship the Music Deity."
He thought for a moment.
He extended his finger and struck the green-haired girl repeatedly, sealing off all her divine channels.
Then he placed a finger on the center of the girl's forehead.
"Soft Whimper!"
The girl slowly woke up and opened her beautiful eyes.
She clutched her bosom tightly.
"You?"
"Don't come any closer."
Luo Yu's mouth curled up in a playful manner:
"We're no longer in the Divine Realm now."
"Go ahead and scream; even if you shout yourself hoarse, it's useless!"
The green-haired girl's pupils constricted, and her delicate body began to tremble.
She jumped to her feet, intending to run.
But her divine power seemed to have been sealed, and after just three steps, she collapsed to the ground, powerless.
Her fair cheeks pressed against the ground, picking up bits of grass and dirt.
Luo Yu observed the girl the whole time and noticed that her panic was genuine, especially her ungraceful fall full of natural clumsiness.
His vigilant heart also relaxed.
It seemed she truly was an ordinary, weak deity.
He waved his hand.
The girl stood up, and Luo Yu sighed:
"Don't be afraid."
"I was just testing you earlier; I have no ill intentions toward you."
"You won't be able to return to the Divine Realm, but I can assure you that your life will not be harmed."
As he spoke, Luo Yu took out a small pouch and held it in his hand, slowly approaching the girl.
"You..."
"Don't come any closer!" the girl cried out in alarm.
