The middle-aged man was apparently the leader of the four. His hair was dark, but he had a long, golden lock draping over his cheek. His arrival seemed to make the great forest surrounding them go quiet. He did not need to put on any display of power, as his presence alone was enough.
"Your majesty," the middle-aged man respectfully greeted Gue Yue immediately upon seeing her.
Gu Yue raised her head with terror in her eyes. "Who...who are all of you? Don't hurt my father."
The group of four felt like they had turned to stone. They stood there at a loss as to whether they should laugh or cry.
The handsome youth asked the middle-aged man, "Big brother, what's going on with Her Majesty?…"
Tang Wulin was already unconscious, and it was apparent that Gu Yue was not feigning her behavior.
The middle-aged man stepped forth and stood before Gu Yue. Cowering, she immediately lowered her head and pounced onto Tang Wulin in an attempt to shield him with her own body.
In this case, Gu Yue had naturally fallen into the seven-colored radiance. The radiance had only just touched the middle-aged man's hand, but iis entire body instantly shook violently. He fell back a few steps with a shocked expression on his face.
The remaining three were even more astonished by what they had witnessed. They knew very well who this man was and how impressive his cultivation base, yet he had been stunned by this gentle seven-colored glow. This seven-colored radiance was so powerful!
"Just as I thought, it's the Dragon God's Willpower," the middle-aged man frowned, "but how did the Willpower descend upon him? He's a human being even if he has the Golden Dragon King Bloodline in his body. This is not soul beast reconditioning. The Golden Dragon King Bloodline is extraordinary, yet where does this Dragon God's Willpower come from?"
The purple-haired woman gave a forced smile. "I have never seen such powerful Dragon God's Willpower in my life. Di Tian, what should we do?"
Yes, this middle-aged man before her was known as the Soul Beast God, the leader of the Ten Great Beasts, Golden-eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian.
Di Tian squinted his eyes and spoke to the youth, "Demon Spirit, please lift up Her Majesty. I'll examine Her Majesty's body for a moment."
The youth was stunned for a moment. "Big brother, you can't even do it yourself. How can I?"
Di Tian spoke, "The Dragon God's Willpower is only capable of having a mesmerizing effect on those of us from the Dragon Clan. You don't have the Dragon Clan's bloodline, so it will be fine for you. However, you can't hurt him as long as we're here. If you were to try, the Dragon God's Willpower would compel us to protect him."
The youth spoke in astonishment, "It's incredible that it would be so powerful! It's been so long since we had such an interesting turn of events, but I thought Big brother said that the child ought to be killed? Her Majesty could possibly regain the Dragon God's power by killing him."
A bitter smile appeared on Di Tian's face. "The decision was made by Her Majesty. It's even more difficult to tell now that there's Dragon God's Willpower in his body. Perhaps, his condition now was also arranged by Her Majesty."
The youth walked in quick strides to Di Tian's side as he stretched out his hand and pulled Gu Yue up. A faint green glow circulated around his body. Though the glow was extremely mild, it was obvious that Gu Yue could not resist him at all.
Gu Yue tried her best to struggle, but having been covered in the green light, she could not move an inch.
Di Tian stretched out his hand and pressed it onto Gu Yue's forehead with a gentle shimmer flickering on his fingertips.
Gu Yue's vision immediately started to dim, but as energy rippled from Di Tian's palm into her, a layer of fine silver scales emerged on her body.
A moment later, Di Tian retracted his hand as if in relief.
"Her Majesty is fine. I think that she was so violently disturbed that her primordial spirit was disturbed as well. Her memories are muddled. Given her powerful self-healing abilities, it won't take long before Her Majesty returns to normal, even without any kind of assistance. Mankind's term for her condition is 'transient global amnesia'."
The rest of the three were put at ease. Hell Demon Dragon King could not help laughing and said, "I see. I was shuddering with fear when Her Majesty called him 'father'! So what do we do now, Di Tian?"
Di Tian pondered for a moment before he spoke, "The matter is already beyond us, so let Her Majesty deal with this herself. Her Majesty won't be harmed, in any case. None of this will be an issue after her memories have recovered naturally. On the other hand, we can only continue to observe the human named Tang Wulin. The appearance of the Dragon God's Willpower in his body should be related to Her Majesty. I can understand Her Majesty's refusal to kill him now. It must be because she was trying to cultivate the Dragon God's Willpower. Her Majesty can accomplish great things in the future when she combines the Golden Dragon King's strength to awaken the Dragon God with this power in her possession. At that point, we can build the true Divine Realm, as is the right of soul beasts on this Douluo Continent, and get out from under the foot of mankind."
Clenching their fists tightly, the rest of the Great Soul Beasts' eyes were burning with a blazing fervour upon hearing his words.
The four of them fell back quietly, and the green glow on Gu Yue's body faded. It was only then that the Emerald Demon Bird, with its emerald green feathers, dared to come out from her long silver hair. It looked toward the figures disappearing in the distance, still feeling fear in its heart.
The whole time, Tang Wulin had been dreaming. He dreamed of many, many things.
There were giant dragons soaring in the sky above an enormous island that extended into infinity. The dragons had scales of many colors, with different body sizes and a variety of unique traits.
On the ground, the titanic Mountain Dragon King dropped onto the sea and transformed into the continent. In the sky, the Holy Dragon King roared at the heavens with its incomparable power that awed the entire continent.
The Water Dragon soared into the sky before diving into the sea continuously, creating great crashes of water.
All things on earth submitted themselves to the home of the true dragons.
It was a magnificent scene for the triumphant Dragon Clan.
He had lost track of time when the sky suddenly turned red. Humongous balls of fire descended upon them, dropping into the sea and land.
The giant dragons ascended into the sky and used their enormous bodies to block the fireballs.
The fireballs broke apart and brought countless catastrophes. The forests were on fire, the rivers ran dry and the land cracked open. The entire world seemed to be collapsing after being struck by an untold number of fireballs.
The giant dragons used their bodies to stop the barrage and used their strength to guard the whole world.
Their bodies fell from the sky endlessly. They seemed to be moaning to the heavens and called out a name.
The seven-colored radiance descended as a gargantuan yet phantomlike seven-colored dragon suspended in midair. It blocked most of the fireballs, so, with great effort, the great catastrophic apocalypse was prevented in the end.
Even so, the Dragon Clan had fallen. The real dragons suffered from a huge number of fatalities, and given the Clan's difficulties reproducing, this inevitably meant that they fell from the pinnacle of their power almost instantly.
Countless giant dragons' corpses blanketed the entire earth. Everywhere was covered with pools of dragon blood.
The other clans protected by the Dragon Clan started to mutate after soaking in dragon blood. They began to possess their own energy.
'Soul beasts? Are those soul beasts? Could it be that this is the origin of soul beasts?'
The gigantic seven-colored phantom flapped its wings abruptly in midair. The sky shook violently as a massive rift appeared. A powerful vortex pulled the countless Dragon Clan's corpses off the ground and fused them into the rift.
Most of the Dragon Clan on the earth vanished, leaving behind very few real dragons. Those that were still alive had been severely injured.
The rift in the sky slowly closed while the seven-colored phantom fused into the rift before disappearing without a trace.
The scene changed. Tang Wulin was looking at the massive Dragon Clan's graveyard that he once visited.
Within the enormous graveyard, the Dragon Clan's corpses covered the plain.
Time passed, and the corpses gradually decomposed into skeletons. Countless Dragon Clan skeletons remained there, exuding an aura of unimaginable sorrow.
The seven-colored phantom sat in the middle of the Dragon Clan's graveyard. The glow from its body was flickering, and light flew from the Dragon Clan's corpses silently to the phantom before slowly fusing into it.
