Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 381 Silver Dragon King

After the contract with the Evil Eye Tyrant, Zhou Sichen did not stay in the Demon Forest for long.

But before leaving the Sun Moon Empire, he secretly took a look at Xuan Ziwen and Nana, who had possessed Wu Yun.

With Zhou Sichen's current abilities, as long as he doesn't actively expose himself, it's almost impossible for ordinary people to discover him.

In addition, his familiarity with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy made it easy for him to meet Teacher Xuan.

With Zhou Sichen's help, along with the resources and treasures he provided, Xuan Ziwen has begun to attempt to condense a soul core and break through the level 90 bottleneck during the year Zhou Sichen was away.

During this period, due to Xuan Ziwen's major breakthroughs and research achievements on soul tools, his status in Mingde Hall has risen steadily.

Xuan Ziwen has now joined the Mingde Hall's secret research project, Project Number One, which is to research war-type soul-guided robots, and is also the prototype of the future battle armor.

The information that Xuan Ziwen had access to was also secretly sent to Zhou Sichen. Now that Zhou Sichen had the Ice Extreme God Crystal and the information provided by Xuan Ziwen, he was very confident in his first battle armor!

As for Xuan Ziwen, who was about to condense his soul core and break through the level 90 bottleneck, Zhou Sichen also planned to prepare a soul spirit for him.

Given the status the Evil Emperor holds in the Demon Forest, providing Xuan Ziwen with a 100,000-year-old soul spirit would certainly not be a problem.

As for making reasonable arrangements, Zhou Sichen plans to have Long Xiaoyao take charge at that time.

Given Long Xiaoyao's strength and status, it seems perfectly reasonable for him to personally arrange a 100,000-year-old soul beast for Xuan Ziwen as his ninth soul ring.

As for the reason, Zhou Sichen had already made it up: Xuan Ziwen taught Zhou Sichen very well, and Long Xiaoyao helped Xuan Ziwen hunt for the ninth soul ring as a way of expressing his gratitude.

Although this reason is a little far-fetched, who dares to question the Dragon Emperor Douluo?
After saying goodbye to Xuan Ziwen, Zhou Sichen went to see Nana, who had possessed Wu Yun. She was hiding herself very well, and with the help of Nangong Wan, the sixth brother, Nana's status in the Holy Spirit Cult was rising.

Zhou Sichen, the future leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, is no longer so wary. He only needs to wait until Xu Tianran makes the first move at the competition a year later, and then he can launch a direct attack.

End all of this from the moral high ground and begin the path to godhood!
After seeing his old acquaintances, Zhou Sichen returned directly to the Spirit Pagoda.

Upon returning to the Spirit Pagoda, Bi Ji told Zhou Sichen that Di Tian wanted him to go to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Faced with Di Tian's invitation, Zhou Sichen was somewhat surprised and looked at Bi Ji, asking, "Senior Bi Ji, has Senior Di Tian invited you for something important?"

Brigitte explained, "It's nothing serious, it's just that the Lord wishes to see you."

Upon hearing the word "Lord," Zhou Sichen raised an eyebrow. The Star Dou Great Forest is currently ruled by Di Tian on the surface, but there is also a hidden master of soul beasts, the Silver Dragon King.

The "master" that Brigitte spoke of was undoubtedly the Silver Dragon King, a half-dragon god who controlled the elemental powers.

I just wonder if the current Silver Dragon King still has the same love-struck mind he had during the Douluo Continent III era...

Zhou Sichen didn't pretend not to know, but only remembered to say, "My lord? Is it that sleeping, recuperating half of the dragon god, the Silver Dragon King?"

Upon hearing Zhou Sichen directly address the Lord by his honorific title, Bi Ji's beautiful eyes flickered with surprise, but she quickly regained her composure.

Brigitte smiled with surprise: "So you knew all along. That's right, the master is indeed the Silver Dragon King."

“A few days ago, your contracted soul beasts all broke through to the next level. The cultivation of Snow Empress and Demon Emperor directly reached 850,000 years. This proves that your strength is now not much inferior to that of Di Tian.”

"My lord was eager to meet you, you devil, so I came to find you as soon as you returned."

Zhou Sichen nodded upon hearing this: "No problem. However, before going to the Star Dou Great Forest, I have some things to arrange. I would appreciate it if you could convene a meeting at the Spirit Pagoda."

Brigitte nodded: "Okay."

After finishing her speech, Brigitte left the top floor and headed to the conference room.

Zhou Sichen directly summoned the Book of Contracts Martial Soul, and nine blood-red soul rings slowly rose from his body, with the ninth soul ring lighting up immediately.

The next moment, the Evil Emperor appeared in front of Zhou Sichen, taking on a human form.

Zhou Sichen asked, "Is everything arranged?"

The Evil Emperor replied, "I left behind a clone with my spiritual power to deter others. I think no fool will dare to act recklessly in my territory."

Zhou Sichen nodded: "That's good. Senior, please stay in the Spirit Pagoda for the time being. We will convene a meeting of the Spirit Pagoda immediately, and then everyone will cooperate with you to complete the subsequent Spirit Ascension Platform plan."

The Evil Emperor chuckled upon hearing this: "Is that guy Di Tian here?"

Zhou Sichen glanced at the Evil Emperor speechlessly: "First, do what you should do. Don't always think about fighting and killing. We are contributing to the future of the Soul Beast race."

The Evil Emperor didn't refute Zhou Sichen, but simply nodded: "Alright, I'll listen to you. After all, you're the boss now."

There are two main reasons why the Evil Emperor changed his usual arrogant attitude in front of Zhou Sichen.

Firstly, now that his cultivation level has reached 850,000 years, he has come to appreciate Zhou Sichen's power.

Secondly, Zhou Sichen still addressed him as "senior," showing him respect, instead of calling him "Evil Eye" or something similar after the contract was signed.

Therefore, the Evil Emperor, who felt respected, naturally had a good impression of Zhou Sichen and felt no pressure to call Zhou Sichen "boss".

Zhou Sichen was too lazy to argue with the Evil Emperor, so he took him directly to a meeting.

The meeting's content was simple: everyone should work together with the Evil Emperor to complete the Spirit Ascension Platform as soon as possible, since this was not only beneficial to the Soul Beast race, but also to the Soul Masters.

After the meeting, the Evil Emperor stayed at the Spirit Pagoda, while Zhou Sichen went to the Star Dou Great Forest alone.

Di Tian had been waiting at the Lake of Life for a long time. When Zhou Sichen arrived, a sincere smile appeared on Di Tian's face.

Di Tian stepped forward and couldn't help but pat Zhou Sichen on the shoulder: "Congratulations! The Snow Empress and the Demon Emperor, who are bound to you by contract, have both reached a cultivation level of 850,000 years. I suppose that Evil Eye guy has already been taken into your possession, right?"

Zhou Sichen replied with a smile, "The Evil Emperor has already signed a contract with me. Although I lost a top-grade head soul bone, the gains are still quite good. With his addition, the progress of the Spirit Ascension Platform system can be accelerated."

Di Tian nodded: "That's good. If you need any help, just let us know, or we can have them tell Bi Ji. I will do my best to cooperate."

Zhou Sichen replied, "Don't worry, senior, I certainly won't be polite."

After chatting for a while, Di Tian finally steered the conversation to the main purpose of Zhou Sichen's trip: "Bi Ji should have told you, right? The Lord wishes to see you."

Zhou Sichen nodded: "Yes, but I wonder how well Senior Silver Dragon King has recovered."

Upon hearing this, Di Tian raised an eyebrow. These words could not have been told to Zhou Sichen by Bi Ji, because they were the master's top secret.

So there's only one possibility: this guy probably already knew the master's secret.

Fortunately, Zhou Sichen had brought Di Tian too much of a shock, and he quickly digested this fact.

Di Tian said, "According to the Lord's prediction, it will take at least ten thousand years, and that is only a conservative estimate."

Now that Zhou Sichen already knows, Di Tian has no need to hide anything; it would be more honest to say it out loud.

Zhou Sichen nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the center of the Lake of Life.

A surge of immense soul power coursed around Di Tian, ​​silently opening a deep black hole in a peculiar way. "Follow me," Di Tian said, stepping into the black hole first.

Without hesitation, Zhou Sichen stepped inside.

The next moment, Zhou Sichen felt everything go black, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself at the foot of a majestic mountain range.

Before Di Tian stood a beautiful woman in a purple dress, her smooth forehead adorned with two crystalline dragon horns that exuded a sense of power.

Di Tian introduced her, saying, "Her name is Zi Ji. She is ranked ninth on your list of the top ten ferocious beasts. Her true form is a hellish demon dragon."

Zhou Sichen was naturally familiar with Zi Ji's identity, and nodded with a smile as a greeting.

Upon seeing Zhou Sichen, a hint of curiosity flashed in Zi Ji's eyes, but she didn't say much. She simply bowed slightly to Di Tian and said, "My lord is waiting for you inside."

Di Tian nodded and said to Zhou Sichen, "Come with me."

Di Tian simply raised his hand and waved it, and the dense dark power enveloped Zhou Sichen, causing him to disappear from the spot.

Zhou Sichen did not resist. When he could see clearly again, he found himself in a special palace.

At the center of the palace, there is a ten-meter-diameter hole in the ceiling, through which sunlight streams in, filling the entire palace with light.

The palace interior was far simpler than imagined, lacking luxurious decorations, with only a huge water mirror suspended in the center.

The palace was not decorated with anything superfluous, except for countless crystals of different colors, and below the hollow was a crystal dragon-shaped silver crystal.

As Di Tian and Zhou Sichen entered the room, the dragon-shaped crystal emitted a faint fluctuation of soul power.

At this moment, Di Tian knelt on one knee, his right hand on his chest: "My lord, this is Zhou Sichen, the founder of the Soul Spirit Technique."

The only being in this Star Dou Great Forest who commands such respect from Emperor Tian is the Silver Dragon King.

Just as Di Tian finished speaking, a beautiful figure quietly appeared inside the silver-white dragon-shaped crystal. The entire dragon-shaped crystal seemed to come alive, becoming a body indistinguishable from a human.

She was a girl who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a silver dress, with long hair cascading down like a waterfall, the ends of which had a faint blue-purple halo.

Her beauty was indescribable; she seemed to embody all the beauty in the world, yet she also possessed a majestic air that looked down upon all living beings.

When she turned around and her silver eyes looked at Zhou Sichen, even with his current cultivation and achievements, he suddenly felt that his soul had been seen through.

This was merely a human form manifested by the Silver Dragon King using a wisp of his soul power; if his true form were to descend, who knows what the scene would be like.

The Silver Dragon King had his bare feet, as white and translucent as jade, off the ground, looking directly at Zhou Sichen.

"Di Tian, ​​pour tea." The Silver Dragon King parted his lips slightly, and his gentle and elegant voice rang out softly.

Di Tian got up, took out a set of luxurious table, chairs and tea set from his soul tool, and then washed the tea set and boiled water to make tea like a little servant.

This is the tea ceremony that Di Tian learned from the human world, because human nobles like to drink tea and discuss philosophy, which makes them seem superior.

Then the Silver Dragon King extended a jade hand to Zhou Sichen, leading it to the tea table: "Please."

Zhou Sichen withdrew his gaze and bowed slightly: "Junior Zhou Sichen greets Your Majesty, Silver Dragon King."

After Zhou Sichen took her seat, the Silver Dragon King slowly came to the opposite side of her. Di Tian pulled out a chair for her, and she slowly sat down.

"No need for formalities. I know everything about your soul system." The Silver Dragon King looked at Zhou Sichen, his eyes full of smugness: "You seem to know me?"

Zhou Sichen stared intently at the beautiful woman before him: "If I'm not mistaken, your true form should be the Silver Dragon King, which is the half of the original Dragon God that was split in two, right?"

The Silver Dragon King did not deny it, and nodded: "Indeed, it seems you do know a lot of things."

"Your soul-based techniques are indeed groundbreaking. Your ideas are bold, and also... benevolent."

"You flatter me, senior." Zhou Sichen raised his head and looked directly into her eyes. "I just feel that the relationship between soul masters and soul beasts should not be limited to hunter and hunted."

The Silver Dragon King chuckled softly, his laughter like the gentle murmur of a spring: "Do you know how many soul beasts have died at the hands of soul masters since their birth?"

“I know,” Zhou Sichen said firmly, “but hatred won’t solve anything.”

“If all the Soul Masters are killed, the Soul Beasts will also perish because they will lose their balance.”

"Extinction of all soul beasts will eventually deprive soul masters of their path to advancement. The soul spirit system may not be the best solution, but it is currently the only possibility for both sides to coexist."

The Silver Dragon King listened quietly, his silver eyes gleaming.

After a long while, she slowly spoke: "You know better than I thought what you are doing. Di Tian said you can change your destiny, and it seems he was right."

The Silver Dragon King continued, "I don't care about your identity or your ambition. I only care whether you can keep your word."

“I will,” Zhou Sichen said calmly. “The Soul Spirit System, the Spirit Ascension Platform, artificial Soul Spirits… I will realize them step by step, so that Soul Masters and Soul Beasts can truly coexist peacefully.”

Looking into his resolute eyes, the Silver Dragon King suddenly smiled, a smile as if melting ice and snow, making the entire palace seem to light up: "Alright, I believe you."

"From today onwards, the Star Dou Great Forest will fully support you. If you need anything, just go to Di Tian, ​​and he will give you the best resources."

She paused, then added, "In addition, I will have Di Tian prepare some resources needed for the Ascension Platform and give them to you."

Zhou Sichen was overjoyed: "Thank you, senior!"

But in Zhou Sichen's eyes, the Silver Dragon King was also a tremendous force, in addition to the Soul Spirit system.

Zhou Sichen continued, "Senior, as a half-dragon god, your power at your peak shouldn't be too much inferior to that of a god-king, right?"

The Silver Dragon King nodded again: "That's right, but my origin was severely damaged back then, and even after recuperating in Douluo Continent for ten thousand years, I still haven't fully recovered."

"I know what you're thinking. You're cooperating with the soul beasts because Di Tian and the others are strong enough to help you in the future."

"Although I am not back to my prime, I can still barely deal with ordinary first-level gods, but I will not do so."

At this point, a playful look appeared on the Silver Dragon King's beautiful face: "Moreover, I am a half-incarnation of the Dragon God. You dare to form an alliance with me, but the gods in the God Realm may not be so sure."

Zhou Sichen did not refute this, but he had his own plans.

Zhou Sichen thought for a moment and said, "What if I had a way to help you gain a foothold in the God Realm? And a way to help you recover faster? Would you dare to take a gamble with me?"

Seeing Zhou Sichen's confident expression, the Silver Dragon King's mocking smile faded, replaced by a hint of curiosity:

"You are indeed exceptionally talented and possess unique advantages, but do you think that a chosen one of a plane can change the minds of the gods?"

"How many soul beasts and deities died in the God Realm back then? The few who remain are the result of surrender. Do you think your value is comparable to that of so many deities?"

Zhou Sichen smiled and said, "That's true, but how to actually do it is up to us. There's never anything absolute in this world, is there?"

The Silver Dragon King was speechless for a moment, unsure whether to marvel at the boy's naivety or his arrogance.
