Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

"But why?" Ye Qi'an asked.

"It's only because you're worried about the laws of the universe that you've suppressed your desire to break through." The Dragon God looked at Ye Qi'an's questioning eyes and continued, "Although the laws of the universe bind many living beings, true power should not be bound by them. Your previous hesitation showed me your reverence for the laws, but it also limited your progress towards a higher level. Now, your breakthrough in battle is precisely because you've broken free from these invisible constraints."

"No... that's not the case. The Divine Dragon Realm's ascension to a divine star, the destruction of the divine realm, and the laws of the universe—these are all things that cannot be wrong. Once a mistake is made, the result will be utter annihilation," Ye Qi'an said.

The Dragon God shook his head slightly. "Caution is certainly an advantage, but on the path to pursuing supreme power, sometimes one needs the courage to burn one's bridges. You worry too much about making mistakes, but you ignore your own infinite potential. Just like in this battle, if you had been constantly bound by concerns, you would never have been able to unleash such powerful strength, let alone break through to this realm."

Ye Qi'an remained silent for a moment, the Dragon God's words striking his heart like a heavy hammer. "But the consequences are too severe; how dare I take such a risk?"

The Dragon God sighed. "You must understand that the universe is inherently full of variables. You think that being cautious will allow you to avoid all dangers, but that's not the case. True control lies in finding a balance between following the laws and breaking the limits. Look at this chaotic void; countless beings live under the laws, yet there are always brave ones who dare to challenge them, thus driving the evolution of the entire universe. You already possess the potential to become such a brave one; you should no longer be bound by past worries."

"Is that really the case?" Ye Qi'an's eyes still held a trace of confusion and uncertainty. "I have always acted in accordance with established rules and order, for fear of causing irreparable disaster due to personal desires. In my view, every decision is related to the life and death of countless lives, and this pressure makes me dare not easily cross the line."

The Dragon God gently patted his shoulder. "I understand your concerns, but you should also see that if we blindly stick to the old ways, the universe will eventually stagnate. Your breakthrough in battle has already proven that breaking free from constraints can bring unexpected growth. The road ahead is long, and you need to learn to find opportunities amidst risks, using your strength and wisdom to shape a better cosmic order, rather than merely passively guarding it."

Ye Qi'an slowly raised his head, seemingly catching a glimmer of new hope in the Dragon God's words. "Then where should I begin to make changes?"

The Dragon God smiled and said, "Start from your heart. Let go of your fear of the unknown and re-examine the laws of the universe. They are not absolute constraints, but rather the foundation and tempering for your growth. When you can face the laws with equanimity and discover the possibility of breakthrough within them, you will have truly embarked on the path to becoming a strong person. Well, that's all I can say. You are qualified to inherit the Dragon God's position."

Ye Qi'an's eyes lit up. He glanced at Gu Yuena not far away, then turned to the Dragon God and said, "Dragon God, let Na'er inherit the Dragon God's position."

The Dragon God paused slightly, then a hint of approval flashed in his eyes. "The fact that you have this thought is enough to prove your deep affection and trust for your lover. Alright, Silver Dragon King, now come and inherit the Dragon God's throne."

Upon hearing the Dragon God's summons, Gu Yuena slowly approached him, saying, "Dragon God, I am ready."

"Here's your artifact back." As he spoke, the Dragon God handed the Dragon God Rift Halberd, which he had borrowed earlier, to Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena took the Dragon God Split Abyss Halberd and nodded slightly.

"The inheritance of the Dragon God's divine position now begins!"

The Dragon God moved his hands, and nine-colored light gathered in his palms, resembling two dazzling orbs of light. He gently pushed his hands out, and the light intertwined and swirled in the air, gradually outlining a huge and complex array.

"Heart of the Dragon God, come."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Dragon God raised his hand and beckoned. The crystal containing the nine-colored core slowly broke through space and flew toward the center of the formation.

The crystal emitted a soft yet incredibly sacred light, each ray seemingly containing the Dragon God's past memories, boundless power, and an aura that transcended the laws of the universe; it was like the heart of the universe.

As Gu Yuena watched the Dragon God's Heart fly towards her, she subconsciously gripped the Dragon God's Abyss Splitting Halberd in her hand, preparing to receive it. When the Dragon God's Heart approached her, the nine-colored light instantly enveloped her, and the light seeped into her body in strands, as if it were deeply merging with her soul and power.

Gu Yuena felt a powerful and vast force surging and spreading within her body. The force was so strong that her body trembled slightly, her jaw clenched involuntarily, and veins on her forehead bulged faintly. However, the determination in her eyes never faded. With her indomitable will, she tried her best to accept and tame this force.

The purple-gold Dragon King Armor instantly adhered to Gu Yuena's body. The dragon patterns on the armor shone with a strange light, as if they had come to life, meandering along the lines of Gu Yuena's body. Each dragon scale exuded a chilling aura, echoing the Dragon God Rift Halberd in her hand, adding even more majesty and holiness.

"Merge!" With a low shout from Gu Yuena, her aura suddenly surged, and that vast and boundless power began to merge rapidly with her own power and the power of the Dragon King's Divine Armor.

The power that had been surging within her body seemed to hear a command and gradually became orderly, flowing slowly along her meridians. Wherever it passed, the meridians seemed to be re-tempered, radiating brilliant light and continuously widening and strengthening.

...Perfect God King...Peak God King...Half-step Supreme God King...Supreme God King...

As the power continued to merge, Gu Yuena's aura rose steadily, first breaking through to the perfect realm of God King. The light around her grew stronger and stronger, and the dazzling radiance seemed to be able to penetrate the endless darkness of this chaotic void.

Immediately afterwards, she leaped to the peak of the God King realm. At this moment, the pressure emanating from her body caused the surrounding chaotic energy to tremble slightly, as if in awe of this newly born and powerful force.

This power did not stop; it continued to surge and merge within her body, propelling her towards a higher realm. Soon, she reached the level of a half-step Supreme God King. Gu Yuena closed her eyes tightly, guiding the power with all her might. Fine beads of sweat seeped from her forehead, but were instantly evaporated by the powerful aura. Her expression was focused and resolute, and every flow of power was under her control.

Finally, after a burst of dazzling light that was almost extreme, Gu Yuena successfully broke through to the Supreme God King realm. She slowly opened her eyes, which seemed to contain the entire universe's galaxy, deep and mysterious, and exuding endless majesty.

The nine-colored light intertwined with the purple-gold Dragon King's divine armor, forming a magnificent and sacred light curtain behind her. Within the light curtain, one could faintly see dragon shadows dancing and runes flashing, demonstrating her current supreme status and power.

"The succession to the Dragon God's throne has ended. From this moment forward, Silver Dragon King, you are the Dragon God of this generation, Gana!"

As the words fell, the Dragon God's figure gradually became illusory, as if it were about to dissipate into the chaotic void.

Everything was normal until Ye Qi'an heard the word "Ghana," at which point he was slightly taken aback. Logically, the Dragon God should be a native, so how could he know such a novel word? This seemed more like a transmigrator just like him.

Ye Qi'an was filled with doubt. He stared at the gradually fading figure of the Dragon God and couldn't help but ask, "Lord Dragon God, may I know your true identity?"

"The past is like fleeting clouds, there's no need to mention it again." The Dragon God's voice grew increasingly ethereal, as if it came from a very distant place, or perhaps it was only echoing in Ye Qi'an's heart. "You only need to know that everything I have done is so that this universe can have a suitable guardian and continue to exist and develop peacefully."

Ye Qi'an wanted to ask more questions, but he felt an invisible force blocking him, making it difficult for him to speak. The Dragon God's figure was almost transparent, but a faint trace of his aura still remained.

"Little one, what has been will be again, what has been done will be done again. Truth and falsehood are intertwined, and falsehood is also truth. There are many secrets in this world, which you will understand when you have experienced more and seen more clearly. Do not be attached to this now, but focus your mind on protecting this universe." The words from the Dragon God's faint aura carried a hint of admonition, yet seemed to contain endless profound meaning.

Although Ye Qi'an was filled with resentment, he knew that it would be useless to force it at this moment. He could only watch helplessly as the last trace of the Dragon God's breath slowly dissipated into the chaotic void and disappeared completely.

"What have I forgotten? I feel like I've experienced this before." Ye Qi'an frowned, his eyes full of confusion. He raised his hand to rub his temples, trying to find more clues from that familiar feeling, but his mind was just a blur. The feeling of familiarity yet elusiveness grew stronger, making him very frustrated.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena gently grasped Ye Qi'an's arm and comforted him in a tender tone, "Qi'an, don't be too hard on yourself. Perhaps this is just a strange feeling. Let's go back to the Divine Dragon Realm first and see our child."

Ye Qi'an was slightly taken aback, a hint of realization flashing in his eyes, as if he had just remembered that they still had a child to worry about. At that moment, the troubles about the identity of the Dragon God and the inexplicable sense of familiarity were temporarily suppressed.

"Let's go, Na'er. We'll also go back and discuss the matter of destroying the God Realm." Ye Qi'an nodded and waved his hand, and a huge gate of light quietly appeared, which connected to the Divine Dragon Realm.

Gu Yuena looked at the light gate that emitted a soft glow, nodded slightly, and stepped into it together with Ye Qi'an. As soon as they passed through the light gate, they entered the territory of the Divine Dragon Realm.

From the outside, the Divine Dragon Realm has undergone tremendous changes. Originally, it could only be considered a slightly larger divine realm. But now, after successively devouring the Purple Radiance Secret Realm and the Abyss Plane and the Crimson Plane, the Divine Dragon Realm now looks almost like a planet. If it continues for a while, it might not even need to devour any divine realms; the Divine Dragon Realm could directly advance to a divine star.

Below the Divine Dragon Realm lies a planet roughly half its size, which is the home Ye Qi'an provided for the soul beasts who migrated from Douluo Continent. Now, under the influence of the immortal energy of the Divine Dragon Realm, it is gradually changing towards the direction of the God Realm.

Arriving at a newly built palace at the core of the Divine Dragon Realm, the magnificent palace was immediately greeted by the opening of its doors. Gu Wanqing and Ye Lingxiao, the two little ones, rushed out, followed by Long Yang and Lan Fuzi. The two children cheerfully called out, "Daddy, Mommy, you're finally back! We missed you so much!"

Ye Qian picked up Gu Wanqing, his face full of doting smiles, and said with a smile, "Wanqing, be good. Daddy missed you too. Have you been naughty?"

Gu Wanqing hugged Ye Qi'an's neck, shaking her head like a rattle drum, and replied in a childish voice, "No, Wanqing is very obedient."

"Daddy, hug me," Ye Lingxiao said in a soft, sweet voice.

Ye Qi'an quickly freed one hand to pick up Ye Lingxiao as well, and said with a smile, "Lingxiao is good too."

"Godfather, Godmother," Longyang and Lan Fuzi said together.

Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena exchanged a smile, and Gu Yuena replied with a smile, "Longyang, Lan Fuzi, thank you for taking care of the two little ones during this time."

Longyang quickly waved his hand and said, "Godmother, you're being too polite. This is what we should do. Godfather and you have important things to do, so it's only right that we take care of my younger brother and sister."

Lan Fuzi nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, godmother, and they are both so well-behaved. They don't cry or fuss at all, unlike children who are only about one year old. We are quite happy to take care of them."

Ye Qi'an said with a smile, "That's all thanks to your hard work, but I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you to take even better care of them in the future."

Longyang patted his chest and assured him, "Godfather, don't worry. No matter what, we will take good care of our younger siblings. You and Godmother can focus on handling important matters."

"Alright, when Wanqing and Lingxiao turn six, I'll send you two to another dimension for training. Now go play. Oh, and call Xiyao and the other two over for me," Ye Qian said, then placed Ye Lingxiao, whom he was holding, into Gu Yuena's arms.

Gu Yuena held little Ye Lingxiao in her arms, gently patted his head, and looked at his adorable appearance with eyes full of love.

Upon hearing this, Long Yang and Lan Fuzi turned and walked towards the palace exit. Before long, they brought Ye Xiyao, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue to Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena.

After the two left, Ye Qi'an led the group towards the conference hall inside the palace. Along the way, Ye Qi'an, carrying Gu Wanqing, wore a serious expression, clearly still pondering important matters such as destroying the God Realm. Gu Yuena, carrying Ye Lingxiao, also followed beside Ye Qi'an with a grave look in her eyes.

Upon entering the conference hall, the room was decorated in a grand manner, with tables and chairs neatly arranged. Ye Qi'an took the lead and sat down in the main seat, with Gu Yuena holding the child and sitting to his side. Ye Xiyao, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue then sat down in turn.
