I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

After Xu Xingyu withdrew her oppressive aura, the Dragon Emperor bowed to her and said with a hint of respect, "Respected inheritor of the Dragon God, please forgive my previous rudeness. Welcome to Dragon Valley of our Bright Five Elements Continent! May I ask what brings you here?"

Seeing the Dragon Emperor treat her with such respect, Xu Xingyu still felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything about not needing to be treated this way or to relax a bit.

His purpose in coming here is to ensure and reclaim the dragons' faith in the Dragon God in this plane. His attitude cannot be too forceful, but it also cannot be too gentle, otherwise he will easily be disregarded.

Having considered this, Xu Xingyu waved her hand and said with a hint of authority, "No need for formalities. There's no need to apologize for what happened before. As the Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan of the Bright Five Elements Continent, it is your duty to be wary of outsiders."

"Besides, I got a little carried away with my actions earlier and went a bit too far with the Ancestor of Earth Dragons, so your suspicion of me is only natural. Therefore, I won't hold it against you for that."

"As for why I came to this plane, you should ask yourselves. Because you have always believed in and prayed to the Dragon God, my coming to this plane under the Dragon God's guidance is the Dragon God's way of responding to your prayers. I don't know exactly what happened here, but I know that you are in trouble right now."

In fact, Xu Xingyu was not quite sure why he came to Dragon Valley in the Sanhe Mountains. He simply came here under the guidance of the Divine Trial. He originally thought that he would receive instructions from the Dragon God Mark after entering Dragon Valley, but the thing did not make any sound at all.

This forced Xu Xingyu to shift the topic to the Dragon Emperor, so as not to make things awkward for herself, and at the same time not to reveal that she actually knew nothing.

Just like that honest guy who liked to wear the Bat Armor and use backdoors in the early stages, I don't know anything but I strike a cool pose to show my authority.

After hearing Xu Xingyu's words, the Dragon Emperor immediately thought of the strange events that had recently occurred in Dragon Valley, as well as the scene of his wife, the Five Elements Earth Dragon King, frequently going to the altar to pray to the Dragon God for some other reason.

Xu Xingyu nodded at the Dragon Emperor, who seemed to have a sudden realization, and said, "It seems you've figured something out. In that case, please take me to Dragon Valley later, and I will personally resolve these troubles."

"Understood, successor. Then please follow me."

"Call me that in formal settings, but in private, just call me by my name, Xingyu." Xu Xingyu waved her hand and then changed the subject: "But before that, let's deal with those two."

Xu Xingyu suddenly glanced at Ya Lin'er and the Ancestor of Earth Dragons, who were surrounded by an eerie silence. Both of them were a little embarrassed. They wanted to say something to each other, but they didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, the Dragon Emperor understood Xu Xingyu's meaning. He also wanted to know what the relationship was between this girl and the Ancestor of Earth Dragons.

He could accept that Ya Lin'er had a bloodline aura that surpassed his own, since she should be from the same place as Xu Xingyu. But Ya Lin'er was different. The Dragon Emperor could indeed feel the dragon bloodline from the Five Elements Plane on her, and it was an aura very similar to that of the Ancestor of Earth Dragons!

This means that Yalin'er is a descendant of the Ancestor of Earth Dragons, and a second-generation one at that—meaning she is the daughter of the Ancestor of Earth Dragons! This bloodline is far purer than mine! If Yalin'er ever wants to contend for the Dragon Emperor's throne, she will definitely have a ton of dragons supporting her based on this bloodline alone!

In order to let everyone present know the ins and outs of the matter and the rationale for Ya Lin'er being the ancestor of the earth dragons, Xu Xingyu recounted how she and Gu Qiuxi unsealed Ya Lin'er from the ice block and how Ya Lin'er lost her past memories.

After listening to Xu Xingyu's story, the Ancestor of Earth Dragons murmured, "She has amnesia? No wonder, no wonder, so that's how it is! When that so-called Holy Evil Island was formed, it rose from the seabed. After my lover Ya Tianji ran away, she knew how to rescue me."

"To break the seal on me, I need the blood of the Mad Saber Fish, a tenth-tier demonic soldier from the bottom of the East Sea. My lover is a metal-type mage, and like my other descendants, she inherited her mother's attributes, making her a metal-type mage as well."

"She must have gone to the bottom of the sea to find the plan set by the Demon Soldier Mad Saber Fish in order to save me, but she was frozen in the seabed by the Demon Soldier Mad Saber Fish because of the difference in strength."

"It won't emerge onto the surface until the Holy and Evil Island is fully formed. Only the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Frost Ice unique to the Demon Soldier Mad Blade Fish can maintain its vitality for such a long time. Yes, that must be it!"

The more the Ancestor of Earth Dragons spoke, the more agitated he became. Fortunately, he managed to suppress his emotions and then turned to Yalin'er, asking in a trembling voice, "Child, may I see your face?"

Upon hearing this, Yalin'er did not respond immediately. At this moment, she was somewhat confused. A dragon that came from who-knows-where suddenly claimed to be her father. Anyone would be thrown into confusion.

If a normal person were faced with such a scene, they would instinctively deny it immediately. However, Yalin'er could not do that because after the dragon bloodline in her body was fully awakened, she was able to feel the fluctuations similar to her own bloodline through the resonance of the bloodline. Without a doubt, the ancestor of the earth dragon was her father.

Yalin felt as if her head had been stimulated. She covered her head with both hands as countless memories flashed through her mind. The return of these memories brought an immense burden, and Yalin felt as if she might faint at any moment.

Her unusual state did not escape the eyes of those present. Among them, the Ancestor of the Earth Dragons was the most anxious and wanted to go over to help his daughter, but he was also afraid that his daughter would be further agitated because of him.

Just when Yalin'er thought her head was about to explode, the gentle yet stern voice that had once awakened her rang out again: "Lin'er, calm down."

Xu Xingyu walked over at some point and grabbed her shoulder with one hand, transferring some of her life force and ice power to relieve her headache.

"Whatever your choice, I, as your friend, will support you."

Looking at Xu Xingyu's determined gaze, and then at the Earth Dragon Ancestor's expectant eyes, Ya Lin'er finally sighed, slowly removed her helmet, and revealed her icy yet beautiful face.
