Chapter 164: A Grand Funeral For Only Three, Gu Yue Na’s Resolve
The Space Dragon King slightly opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to persuade Di Tian, but Di Tian spoke first:
“I know what you want to say, Uncle.”
“I know this is blasphemy. Lord has always disliked his subjects questioning his decisions.”
“But the truth is very important to me! It’s equally important to Soul Beasts!”
“The Soul Beast Clan needs to know where their suffering comes from and urgently desires to know where they are heading in the future.”
“The Soul Beasts of Douluo Continent call me Beast God, so I must find answers for them.”
The Space Dragon King and Di Tian locked eyes. He sensed Di Tian’s determination, nodded, and said:
“As long as you have this awareness, it’s good.”
“The funeral is about to proceed to the final step. I will gather all bloodlines and essences to condense the Space Crown.”
“The Space Crown is the tombstone belonging to the Dragon King.”
“The words on it will be my epitaph.”
Di Tian was somewhat stunned. He looked at the Space Dragon King and said:
“Uncle, the Dragon King condensing the crown means…”
The Space Dragon King laughed a few times, the dragon roar mixed in causing heaven and earth to tremble.
“That’s right!”
“It means a new Space Dragon King is born.”
“I have entrusted the crown to that human youth nearby.”
“He will bring that little girl here to inherit the crown belonging to the Space Dragon Clan.”
“She is the future Space Dragon King!”
“Di Tian, that child is still too young. If she encounters troubles in the future, I hope you can help her more.”
Di Tian’s black majestic dragon head hurriedly nodded, and he quickly said:
“Of course!”
“Since she inherits your crown, Uncle, she is the clan leader of the Space Dragon Clan. As the clan leader of the Black Dragon Clan, I naturally won’t stand by idly!”
The Space Dragon King looked at Di Tian with satisfaction, then said with a hint of regret:
“Unfortunately, both the Black Dragon Clan and the Space Dragon Clan have withered away.”
“The nine great Dragon Clans, including countless branches, probably have few left.”
“Never mind, I’m starting!”
Soon, the Space Dragon King’s phantom bloomed with brilliant light. That silver-white light forcibly overshadowed the original colors of heaven, earth, and all things, even draping a silver veil over Di Tian.
All space elements in this heaven and earth began to wail. Countless spatial rifts flickered successively around the phantom, like a flower wreath for the Space Dragon King’s funeral.
Di Tian raised his head and let out a dragon roar. In the distant Star Dou Great Forest, all Soul Beasts with Dragon Clan bloodlines howled in unison, offering funeral music for the Dragon King.
The silver-white light shone to its peak, dyeing half of Heaven Soul Empire silver. Even the Soul Beasts in the Extreme North witnessed a silver Scorching Sun burning in the sky.
Until everything suddenly calmed. The silver Scorching Sun seemed like a collective illusion of life, vanishing without a trace.
Only Di Tian, Huo Yuhao, and Gu Yue Na saw a small silver crown floating in the air.
It had no particularly strong majesty, but all beings who witnessed this crown couldn’t help but feel its sanctity and mystery.
Di Tian and Gu Yue Na realized that it was one of the Dragon God’s former nine great achievements, the highest attainment in the space aspect.
Gu Yue Na clearly felt her control over space elements disappear. She realized how much she differed from the Dragon God.
Even though she was half of the Dragon God.
The Space Crown slowly flew into Huo Yuhao’s hand. Di Tian and the hidden Gu Yue Na both watched quietly, without any movement.
“Young man, it should have caused you quite a bit of trouble, right? Hahahaha!”
“You handle it slowly yourself.”
“As agreed, I found the location of the Dragon Tomb. Here are the coordinates for you.”
The Space Dragon King’s voice echoed in Huo Yuhao’s ear, followed by a set of space coordinates directly entering Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness.
Huo Yuhao touched it with his spiritual power, and the space coordinates bloomed with silver-white light. A silver-white line shot straight out from the Sea of Consciousness.
He projected his consciousness back to reality and saw the silver-white line pointing directly southwest.
He couldn’t see the end of the line at all.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said:
“Pretty thoughtful, it even comes with navigation?”
“But the Dragon Tomb should be on another continent.”
“Later, we’ll need to figure out a way to improve nautical technology.”
“Otherwise, just relying on Kamui might not get us there.”
The Space Dragon King’s voice appeared in Huo Yuhao’s ears again.
“That’s right, on another continent, quite far from here.”
“I can’t help you with that now.”
“My corpse, along with Brother Soil and Little Wind’s corpses, no longer have divine power protection.”
“While I still have a little time, hurry and transfer them.”
Huo Yuhao didn’t hesitate and said to Ilex:
“It’s up to you! Elder Ilex!”
Ilex nodded slightly and immediately opened the Undead Demiplane underground.
Seeing this, the Space Dragon King neatly stuffed the three dragon corpses along with a large amount of soil inside.
Then, Ilex closed the Undead Demiplane. The elder immediately said to Huo Yuhao:
“I’ll go to the Undead Demiplane first to check on the three dragon corpses and study them a bit.”
“This is my first time closely examining God King level Dragon Clan remains. It will definitely enrich my knowledge base!”
“Big Bug, the education of Little Snow Woman is temporarily handed to you. Teach her well for me.”
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm confidently patted his chest and said:
“Leave it to Bro!”
“Elder Ilex, your teaching methods must have some problem!”
“The majestic Snow Empress, how could she be so dumb? Leave it to Bro!”
“When you come back, Bro will return a genius youth to you!”
“Hehe.”
After hearing the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm’s words, Ilex walked away without looking back.
He was very much looking forward to the day he returned and what expression the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm would have.
Returning to the outside world, the Space Dragon King’s funeral was completely over. The Space Dragon King’s final remnant soul flew toward Gu Yue Na’s hiding spot, probably wanting to say something to her.
Di Tian looked at Huo Yuhao holding the Space Crown, transformed into a middle-aged man wearing a black robe, and came before Huo Yuhao.
The middle-aged man had a head of black long hair interspersed with a few strands of golden hair. His golden dragon pupils displayed his extraordinary temperament.
The black trench coat very similar to Huo Yuhao’s drifted with the breeze, leaving black trails in the air.
“Thank you for awakening Space Uncle.”
Huo Yuhao was in his Sea of Consciousness soothing the furious Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. This bug was glaring viciously at the external Di Tian, itching to rush out and trade blows with him.
“Calm down, Tian Meng Ge! The opponent’s Dragon God Claw is extremely cruel! Don’t be impulsive!”
After soothing the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he said to Di Tian:
“No need for thanks. Each has their own needs.”
“Heh, I thought you would try to snatch the Space Crown.”
Di Tian shook his head and said:
“Space Uncle entrusted the crown to you, so he must have his plans.”
“I won’t go against Uncle’s will.”
“Uncle said you know the next Space Dragon King. Could you let me see her appearance?”
“I am the clan leader of the Black Dragon Clan, and she will be the clan leader of the Space Dragon Clan. We are of the same generation.”
Every time he heard Di Tian and Ti Bao being of the same generation, Huo Yuhao could barely hold it together.
“Sure.”
“How about adding each other as friends?”
“I’ll send you the picture and contact info on the Magic Net.”
Di Tian nodded, opened the Magic Net, and added Huo Yuhao as a friend.
Huo Yuhao saw Di Tian’s Magic Net username ‘Incompetent Dragon’ and knew this must be a name chosen by Tian Meng.
“Picture and contact info sent.”
“Receive it.”
Di Tian opened the chat history, and the picture took a good while to load.
Huo Yuhao couldn’t help but want to laugh as he asked:
“Why is your Magic Net speed so slow?”
Di Tian shrugged helplessly and said:
“I don’t know either.”
“My Magic Net speed is sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and I can’t find the reason.”
Because the Magic Net speed was unreliable, Di Tian would usually go to the Imperial Beast when the speed was slow and use her Magic Net to watch videos.
As for the Imperial Beast herself, she was forced by Di Tian to read books.
After firmly memorizing Ti Bao’s appearance, Di Tian sent a friend request to ‘See You Tomorrow’ on the Magic Net, then looked at Huo Yuhao and said:
“This time, I owe you a favor.”
“If there’s anything you need help with in the future, just contact me directly through the Magic Net.”
As soon as the words fell, Di Tian’s figure turned into a sky-obscuring black giant dragon. After letting out a earth-shaking dragon roar toward the sky, he headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest Core Area.
After Di Tian left, Huo Yuhao tossed the Space Crown into the Dream Space. This thing couldn’t be put into a storage soul tool.
He stood on top of Susanoo, looking heartbroken at the devastated Green Soil, and used spiritual power to sense the vitality inside the Green Soil.
“Now the Green Soil can’t regenerate.”
“Based on the current vitality reserves, the Green Soil can last another five hundred years. After five hundred years, it will turn into black soil.”
“I remember there’s a Spirit Devouring Engraving Knife in the Enthusiasm Treasury. After purifying it later, using Life Gold as the core and through alchemy, see if we can restore the Green Soil’s vitality supply.”
“If that doesn’t work, go beg the Little Planet Spirit.”
Huo Yuhao couldn’t bear to watch this prime land disappear like this and was determined to repair it!
The pure white Giant God’s figure gradually dissipated into the air. Huo Yuhao turned around and returned to Xilu City. For the time being, he was going to be busy.
He was already prepared to use the blood of some petty foes to announce to the continent that this was his Huo Yuhao’s territory!
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Green Soil where she was hiding, Gu Yue Na had a very downcast expression as she conversed with the Space Dragon King’s last wisp of divine sense.
“Is all that true?”
The Space Dragon King’s faint voice echoed in her ear.
“It’s true.”
“Silver Dragon King, in a sense, you are my junior.”
“I don’t want you to walk that old path.”
“Just live well.”
Gu Yue Na pursed her lips and said with her head lowered:
“Can I inherit the Dragon God divine position?”
“Please tell me directly, no need to hold back.”
The Space Dragon King fell silent for a moment, his voice even weaker.
“Sorry, you definitely cannot inherit it.”
“No existence can inherit the Dragon God divine position. The Dragon God Bloodline no longer exists.”
“Because the Dragon Clan Prince has died, leaving no bloodline descendants.”
Gu Yue Na’s fists clenched tightly, making creaking sounds.
“Then what about the Soul Beast Clan?!”
“Who can undo the prohibition?”
The Space Dragon King sighed and said:
“I don’t know.”
“Perhaps only the Supreme God King can do it. The Dragon God was once at that level.”
Gu Yue Na raised her head again, her purple eyes seriously looking toward the Star Dou Great Forest behind her and saying:
“I’ll find a way myself. I’ll find a method to remove the prohibition!”
“I am the rational half of the Dragon God. I will take responsibility for his mistakes!”
“Otherwise, how can I face the myriad beasts of the world?”
“Tell them that it was their most revered Lord’s former self who personally shackled them, turning them into an abandoned clan?”
“I no longer have the face to see Di Tian and the Core Area Beast Kings.”
The Space Dragon King’s voice was left with only faint tones, which Gu Yue Na could capture only because her spiritual power was strong enough.
“You are not him, no need to blame yourself.”
“Just be yourself. You’ve never been anyone’s shadow.”
“Your bloodline, your will belong to you.”
“Don’t be trapped by Lord.”
“You are also a continuation of Lord’s bloodline, so you can be considered my little sister.”
“Even if the other eight saw you, they would only hope you live well.”
“The Dragon Clan once existed, flourished, and was remembered. That’s enough.”
“No race can continue forever.”
“The Dragon Clan has fulfilled its mission. We battled the starry sky, pursued dimensional ascension, and left a thick stroke in the universe!”
“Little sister! On Douluo Star, this land of the Dragon Clan’s origin, live well and don’t tire yourself too much.”
The Space Dragon King’s voice completely cut off even its final tone. Gu Yue Na looked at the sunset on the horizon, unable to resist reaching out to grasp that solar disk.
A wind carrying some desolation blew across Gu Yue Na’s silver hair, letting the tips sway freely in the air.
She picked up a leaf from the ground that was only half left and murmured to it:
“But I am still the Silver Dragon King, half of the Dragon God, the lord of Soul Beasts.”
“This is an inseparable past.”
Gu Yue Na dropped the leaf and turned toward Shrek City.
Under the sunset, the three beings who witnessed the Dragon King Funeral headed in different directions.
