Chapter 216: Silver Dragon King
"This is it. Before you take the soul bone, you must meet someone first."
Beneath the Lake of Life lies an isolated, exceptionally hidden dimension.
The ability to create this kind of independent dimension is beyond the reach of ordinary humans; it requires at least divine power.
Di Tian led Gu Han to a mysterious portal within. Within lay the place where the Lord rested.
Gu Han gazed at the door before him. It was ordinary, nothing noteworthy.
"Meet someone? Is this where you're going?"
"Come in."
At that moment, a commanding voice rang from behind the door. It belonged to a woman.
Gu Han could detect a barely concealed weakness in the voice, and he was now certain that the Silver Dragon King lay behind this door.
"The Lord is within. Enter," Di Tian said.
Gu Han nodded. The door appeared heavy, but with a simple press of a button beside it, it opened automatically.
Under Di Tian's gaze, Gu Han walked in alone. The cave was shrouded in darkness.
The first thing that caught his eye was a pair of dragon eyes glowing red.
"Human, do you know who I am?"
Although Gu Han had already confirmed the other party's identity, he still shook his head.
"I don't know."
"I am the god of the soul beast clan. Do you believe it?"
"Yes."
Gu Han didn't understand what the other party was trying to do, so he could only respond as he pleased. Anyway, it's just a question of yours, and I'll answer. As long as you don't reveal your true intentions, I won't say a word more.
There was a moment of silence, and then a light shone from the cave. A giant silver-white dragon crouched within, catching Gu Han's eye.
"Human, what is your name?"
"I am Gu Han. How should I address you, senior?"
The Silver Dragon King was silent for a moment, then said, "Gu Yuena."
After a moment, Gu Yuena saw Gu Han standing quietly, observing her. It wasn't offensive, but it gave her a very special feeling.
Especially Gu Han's eyes, which she had only seen on the faces of newborn soul beasts or humans. They were a very innocent look. But a closer look revealed something vastly different, something she couldn't quite put her finger on.
"Gu Han, you're special."
"I'm just an ordinary spirit master."
"No, you're different from a spirit master. You possess an energy distinct from spirit power, but it's not divine power either. That's why I called you here. What exactly is within you? You're not cultivating the spirit power of the Douluo Continent. The spirit rings are simply something you've added to conform to the rules of this world."
As half Dragon God, Gu Yuena naturally possessed extraordinary insight. She knew that this world wasn't solely comprised of the Douluo Continent; other planets existed as well.
While the energy within Gu Han's body was similarly formed by absorbing spirit power, after it was absorbed by him, the energy within him could no longer be described in terms of spirit power. Both its quality and depth surpassed that of any spirit master or spirit beast in this world.
Gu Han remained expressionless upon hearing this, saying, "Senior, you're only half right. The method I cultivate isn't designed to conform to the rules of this world; it was created according to them."
"You're lying."
Gu Yuena wasn't so easily fooled, and she instantly realized Gu Han was lying.
"Senior Gu Yue, did you call me here just to ask this?"
Even after his lie was exposed, Gu Han remained calm. His gaze was calm, meeting Gu Yuena's cold, majestic dragon eyes.
As they stared at each other, the cave fell into a deep silence, the sound of water dripping onto the ground echoing clearly.
After a long moment, Gu Yuena finally smiled.
"Haha, you are very interesting. Do you know the God Realm?"
"I've heard of it a little." Gu Han nodded and said, "According to the records of the Spirit Hall, the Angel God Ancestor was a god, and finally ascended to the God Realm."
"A long time ago, the God Realm was actually dominated by the soul beast clan. Although there were human gods, they were still too weak compared to the Dragon God. And all these changes were caused by the Dragon God losing control, which led to the war in the ancient God Realm. Countless main gods and god kings fell, and the God Realm was shattered in that war.
And today's God Realm was pieced together from the fragments of the God Realm at that time collected by the only five surviving god kings. It is far smaller than the scale of the year. The Dragon God was split into two by the Shura God in that war.
And I am one of them."
Although Gu Han didn't understand why Gu Yuena said this to him, a human he met for the first time, he didn't ask why, but showed an expression of surprise.
"In other words, you are a god!?"
"That's right, and the other half of the Dragon God, the Golden Dragon King, is sealed in the God Realm and is guarded by the five great God Kings in turn."
"Senior, when you tell this to me, it's not just a simple story, is it?" Gu Han's eyes were deep, and then he showed an expression that said I was a greenhorn, and waved his hand:
"If you want to cooperate with me to rescue the Golden Dragon King, then please forgive me for my lack of strength and my inability to help you."
"No, you can help me. In exchange, I can help you become a god, and a God King, much more powerful than the Angel God in your Spirit Hall."
"Senior, what you said is meaningless. I'm not a three-year-old child. I will believe whatever you say. Besides, this is just the first time we meet. You don't know me, and I don't know you. Are you so sure that I can become a god 100%? That's far too hasty."
Gu Han naturally disbelieved the Silver Dragon King's request. His hatred for humanity was immense. Although the Silver Dragon King represented the benevolent side of the Dragon God, his hatred wasn't masked by kindness.
Even if he agreed, rescuing the Golden Dragon King would inevitably involve a battle with the gods of the divine realm, a prospect he had no interest in. As for his offer to help him attain godhood, it held even less allure.
He could faintly sense the invisible shackles within him completely dissipating after the Nameless Method independently generated spirit rings.
This meant that in the future, his level would no longer be limited by worlds, and achieving god-level status was inevitable.
Therefore, the Silver Dragon King's bargaining chip held no allure for him.
"You boy, refusing so bluntly? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
The Silver Dragon King's pupils narrowed. Even though she wasn't at her peak, the pressure she exuded was terrifying.
Gu Han's yang spirit transformed into qi, and although she maintained her form, she perfectly avoided the terrifying pressure and murderous intent. But he still pretended to be in great pain, half-crouching on the ground, and spoke with great effort.
"Senior won't kill me..."
Gu Yuena slowly withdrew her pressure and asked indifferently, "Why do you say that?"
