Time flowed, and in the blink of an eye, two months quickly passed.
At the entrance of the Administration Building of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
A black-haired, black-eyed girl slowly walked out.
The girl's facial features were not exceptionally outstanding, but they combined to form a remarkably delicate and attractive face. Her black eyes were deep and serene, revealing a cold, aloof temperament that seemed out of place with her surroundings.
Her figure was well-proportioned. She wore the fitted black school uniform of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, the well-tailored dress outlining her nascent curves, while her legs, encased in black stockings, were straight and slender.
This was the Silver Dragon King, who had adopted the pseudonym Gu Yue.
After completing the leave cancellation procedures at the Administration Office, Gu Yue calmly strolled along the bustling campus boulevard, heading toward the dormitories.
Her return to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest this time, besides dealing with some Spirit Beast tribal affairs, was mainly aimed at collecting resources that were of little use to Spirit Beasts themselves but were considered treasures in the human World.
For instance, resources like Spirit Bone and certain rare metal Ore. These items were useless to Spirit Beasts, so the Star Dou Great Forest had accumulated a large amount of them over the long years.
She planned to sell these resources bit by bit to the merchant association, converting all of them into internal contribution points.
Afterward, she would use these contribution points to raise her internal authority within the association, and then exchange them for rare knowledge and technology unavailable for purchase externally.
Just as she had said when she first chose to come to the Sun Moon Empire, if she wanted to defeat humanity, what she needed to do was understand humanity.
Moments later, Gu Yue returned to the dormitory she hadn't visited in months. Pushing the door open, the room was still tidy, ensured spotless by the automatically running dust-clearing Soul Engineer Formation.
However, Gu Yue's brows instantly furrowed.
Something was wrong.
It was normal for the room to be clean, but wasn't it too clean? She could barely even sense Qiu'er's aura.
A dust-clearing Formation could remove dust, but it absolutely could not completely erase an aura. Furthermore, the aura of Qiu'er's Golden Dragon Martial Soul after her transformation was extremely conspicuous to her.
If the aura was this weak, there was only one possibility: Qiu'er had not returned to the dormitory for a very, very long time.
Gu Yue's heart sank. During the two months she had been away, she had monitored Qiu'er's status via the Dragon scale she had left on her. Each previous feedback had indicated "all clear."
But now, this absolute lack of aura made her immediately realize something was amiss.
She immediately focused her mental force, sensing the Dragon scale more carefully.
This time, the feedback received was completely different!
The life aura connected to the other end of the Dragon scale had become extremely faint, like a candle flickering in the wind, seemingly ready to extinguish at any moment.
Gu Yue's eyes instantly turned cold, and the air around her solidified. Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Yue sensed the coordinates of the Dragon scale, and with a slight flicker of her figure, she disappeared into a silver spatial ripple that appeared out of thin air...
Northern part of the Sun Moon Empire.
Above the vast, boundless sea, space suddenly twisted. Subsequently, the figure of the black-haired, black-eyed girl stepped out from the distorted Energy.
The instant she appeared, terrifying mental force swept across the entire sea area, bringing everything surrounding her into her range of perception.
However, apart from the waves and wind above the sea and the numerous sea Spirit Beasts below the surface, there was nothing else—let alone any trace of Qiu'er.
Gu Yue frowned slightly, feeling a hint of doubt, and then—
Above the firmament, a point of Extreme Ice blue suddenly magnified!
"Boom—!"
Heaven and sea were instantly swallowed completely by a pure and terrifying white light.
Above and below, everything was light.
That was definitely not warmth, but light interwoven with Extreme Ice coldness and elemental annihilation.
The vast pressure was like a physical substance, instantly flattening the entire sea area below. Time paused at this moment!
At a certain moment, the light dissipated.
And at the center of the light, the girl's appearance had changed: silver hair and purple eyes, quietly suspended in mid-air, surrounded by hazy elemental radiance. Her aura was stable, and she was completely unharmed.
In her hand, the Silver Dragon Spear was tightly grasped, though she knew not when she had taken hold of it. Crystalline silver-white Dragon scales appeared on both sides of her cheeks, and a hint of solemnity was visible in her eyes.
Divine Rank.
Undeniably Divine Rank power.
Relying on her innate absolute perception of elements and the mental plane, she instantly analyzed the composition of this strike: using Extreme Ice as the core, guiding the collision and annihilation of multiple basic elements, and focusing all the destructive power into a single point of explosion.
The technique was complex, but not difficult; given time, she could replicate it.
But what truly made her solemn was the essence supporting this strike—a power on the same level as divine force, yet bearing no trace of the Power Of Faith aura.
Regardless, the opponent was definitely a Divine Rank existence.
Currently, her old injuries were not healed, preventing her from fully exerting her strength. Moreover, the fluctuations from a battle between Divine Rank entities were too obvious and could easily draw the attention of the God Realm.
The opponent might not care about the God Realm's attention, but she couldn't afford that risk. If she appeared before the many Divinity of the God Realm, she would likely face certain death.
The situation had become tricky.
Gu Yue raised her eyes to look. In the distance, a figure had appeared in the air sometime unnoticed.
That was a white-haired, blue-eyed youth with a tall stature, surrounded by nine spirit ring.
Three were blood-red, and six were ice-blue, slowly rotating like icy crystal constellations. Faintly visible on them were thick, gilded patterns.
His aura was restrained, yet carried a sense of massiveness akin to a mountain range. The vast Energy aura was almost visible to the naked eye.
Just as Gu Yue was about to speak, the opponent transformed into a beam of light. Subsequently, the light split into two figures: one was a white-robed, ethereal woman with a cold aura.
Gu Yue paused slightly and roughly determined the identity of the woman.
The opponent was likely the Lord of the Far North, the Snow Empress.
But... why was she currently in a human body? Had she transformed and re-cultivated? And had she achieved a Divine RankBreakthrough?
Gu Yue grew slightly cautious and looked at the other figure beside the Snow Empress.
This figure looked ordinary—merely a black-haired, black-eyed human youth. His aura was very weak; he wasn't even a Titled Douluo.
Yet, Gu Yue did not relax. The previous strike was achieved through the SpiritFusion Skill between this youth and the Snow Empress. Judging from their posture during the previous Body Integration, it was clearly the youth who dominated the Fusion.
A human dominating the Fusion with the Snow Empress? Gu Yue instantly raised the opponent's threat Rank to the highest level.
However, before she could react further, the human youth actually took a step forward.
As he raised his hand, a terrifying aura filled with the meaning of destruction bloomed without reservation. A mark radiating the aura of a God King clearly appeared before her eyes.
The Destruction God Trial!
The youth's gaze was calm as he slowly spoke, his voice clearly penetrating the sea wind and entering her ears:
"Your Excellency Silver Dragon King, I am speaking to you now."
