Douluo Dragon King: The Twin Dragons of Time and Space, Mistaken for Dragon God

Three years have passed quietly.

Inside the Soul Guidance Train's compartment, Chu Nan leaned against the window, his black hair tied back. His nine-year-old face was already showing its initial features, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes—a handsome young man in the making.

He held the soul-guided communicator in his hand. On the screen, Leng Yaozhu's face remained aloof, but there was a clear hint of unease in her eyes.

"I really don't understand why you went to Donghai City. The resources are inferior to the headquarters, and the instructors are much worse. If you really want to gain experience, there are plenty of opportunities within the tower. Why go so far?"

Chu Nan looked at Leng Yaozhu on the screen, feeling a surge of joy. His master was clearly reluctant to part with him.

He said with a grin, "Sister Leng, the pressure at headquarters is too much. I just want to find a quiet place to relax and experience life at the grassroots level. Besides, I've heard that the seafood in Donghai City is amazing, so I'll go try it."

Leng Yaozhu sighed helplessly on the other end of the screen, rubbing her temples. "You, all you ever think about is food. Let me know you've arrived safely, and remember to contact me regularly, don't make me worry."

"Yes, Master! I promise to report every day, without fail! Goodbye, Master!" Chu Nan hung up the call, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long sigh of relief. He'd successfully fooled him; this was a sure thing.

Donghai City is still the best. It's far from the emperor's reach, so I can do whatever I want.

At the entrance of the Donghai City Soul Guide Train, a middle-aged man stood there with a professional fake smile on his face, as if waiting for someone to come and inspect his work. He had been standing at the entrance for almost an hour.

Li Fugui, the head of the Donghai City Spirit Tower branch, is a Soul Saint, but at this moment he is extremely flustered—a patriarch has been parachuted in from headquarters, and it is said that his talent is heaven-defying, with even the tower master and deputy tower master vying to take him as a disciple.

But this isn't a genius, this is a walking hot potato! If you serve him well, you might not get any credit, but if you serve him poorly, you'll definitely be blamed. In that case, not only will he be fired, but the entire East China Sea branch will suffer as a result.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and silently prayed, "My little darling, please don't be a troublemaker."

At the Soul Guidance Train station, Li Fugui recognized Chu Nan at a glance—not because he had seen a photo before, but because among all the people getting off the train, this child had the most unique temperament. Although he was only nine years old, he walked as if he were strolling in his own backyard, looking around curiously, not at all shy.

Li Fugui quickly went to greet him, his fake smile widening even further, as enthusiastic as if he were seeing his own father: "Young friend Chu Nan, welcome, welcome! You must be tired from your journey. I am Li Fugui, the head of the Donghai City Spirit Pagoda branch. Although the Donghai City branch is small, we will do our best to cooperate with your studies and life! Please feel free to ask if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask!"

Chu Nan sized him up, inwardly amused. Li Fugui? What a name. He nodded politely, "Minister Li, you're too kind. Just call me Chu Nan. I'll be relying on you from now on."

"Oh, how can that be..." Li Fugui said politely as he led Chu Nan outside, his words as sweet as honey. "It's our honor that you can come to our Donghai City branch! Headquarters specifically instructed us to take good care of your daily life."

Upon arriving at the parking lot, a black soul-guided vehicle was parked there. Li Fugui personally opened the car door and invited Chu Nan to sit in the back seat, acting as if he were receiving a leader on an inspection tour.

As the car started, Li Fugui peeked at it several times through the rearview mirror.

This kid is quite handsome, with delicate features, but his posture—sitting there with his legs crossed, he looks like a street urchin? Is he really the legendary genius that headquarters was talking about?

He cleared his throat and tentatively began, "Young friend Chu Nan, your accommodation has been arranged. It's near the branch office, fully furnished and equipped with appliances, ready for you to move in. Please let me know if you need anything else."

"That's great, thank you for your trouble, Minister Li."

"Of course, of course," Li Fugui continued. "The enrollment procedures are all completed. You'll be in Class 1, First Year at Donghai Academy, reporting in a few days. The principal and the class teacher have already spoken to you; they know your special status and will take special care of you."

He added in his mind, "Of course I have to take care of him. If this guy is even slightly dissatisfied, he can complain to headquarters, and I'll have to be replaced as the branch manager."

Chu Nan nodded, his gaze falling out the window.

He felt a little excited—he'd be meeting the characters from the original story in a few days. Tang Wulin was probably still at the Blacksmith Association, forging to earn a living, right? Xie Xie was probably still at home, living the life of a young master. As for Gu Yue… he smirked. He'd deal with that later.

Meanwhile, in a hidden warehouse somewhere in Donghai City.

Moonlight streamed in through the broken window, illuminating a group of people. Calling them "people" isn't quite accurate—the leader was a young girl with long, black hair that moved without wind, and a pair of purple eyes that gleamed eerily in the darkness, as if they could see through everything.

Several men and women stood in front of her, each with an imposing presence, but at this moment they were all as respectful as primary school students meeting their principal, not daring to utter a sound.

Gu Yuena stood with her hands behind her back, the moonlight illuminating her cool face. Her voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority: "I have summoned you here tonight to announce something important."

Di Tian knelt on one knee, his expression excited, his voice low as if afraid of being overheard: "My lord, are you really sure? That person... is truly the reincarnation of the Dragon God?"

Gu Yuena's purple eyes gleamed with silver light, her expression resolute and without the slightest hesitation: "Absolutely no mistake. Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, I sensed that bloodline fluctuation, originating from the same source as me but at a higher level. What I felt wasn't resonance, but an instinctive submission and call. In this world, only when facing the Dragon God would one feel this way."

The Demon King pondered for a moment, his brows furrowed: "But my lord, he is now in human form, grew up in human society, eats human food, learns human knowledge, and is surrounded by humans..."

Gu Yuena interrupted him, her tone more serious than ever before, even tinged with urgency: "That's precisely why we must act! The Dragon God's reincarnation as a human must have profound meanings we cannot comprehend, or perhaps unavoidable hardships. But because he is human, growing up in a human environment, his thoughts, emotions, and sense of identity... are all being assimilated by humans!"

Her gaze swept over the ferocious beasts, her voice growing more forceful: "Think about it, if Lord Dragon God, under the influence of humans, finally accepts humanity and stands on their side... what does that mean for our soul beast race? It means utter despair! We've waited tens of thousands of years, are we really going to be met with someone standing on the opposite side?"

The temperature inside the warehouse plummeted, and even the moonlight seemed to dim.

Xiong Jun's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his face flushed red, and he growled, "No! Absolutely not! The Dragon God is our soul beast god! How can he help humans?! I, Xiong Jun, will be the first to object!"

Brigitte nodded worriedly, "What you say is absolutely right, my lord. We must make the Dragon God remember his identity and return to our side. The longer it drags on, the more deeply he will be assimilated."

Di Tian knelt on one knee, raised his head, his eyes filled with determination: "My lord, please give the order! What should we do to... bring Lord Dragon God back to our side?"

A resolute glint flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes as she spoke, each word deliberate and deliberate: "At all costs, by all means. The first step is to prevent him from being completely assimilated by humans and to make him develop a fondness and identification with soul beasts."

The ferocious beasts shouted in unison, "Yes!"

Inside the Spirit Pagoda apartment in the East China Sea, Chu Nan sneezed, rubbed his nose, and muttered, "Who's talking about me? Could it be Sister Leng? Hehe..."
