Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 3 Three Years of Sleep

The figure in black was none other than Di Tian.

The intense dragon might released during Lin Yun's fusion with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline had already swept across the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

For ordinary soul beasts, at most they could only feel as if they were suddenly oppressed by the aura of a superior, since they were too far away.

Only star-shaped ferocious beasts like Di Tian can truly sense that pure and majestic dragon aura.

After respectfully kneeling and bowing to Lin Yun, Di Tian gently lifted him up, opened a spatial gate, and stepped inside.

Lake of Life.

Di Tian stepped out of the space, carrying a human child in his arms. However, this child exuded a dragon's might that was even stronger than Di Tian's.

"Di Tian, ​​who is he...?" Emerald Swan, Bi Ji, glanced at Lin Yun with some fear before asking Di Tian in a low voice.

Besides Biji, the Demon Eye Tree King, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear King, the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound King, and the Hell Demon Dragon King Ziji are all here.

Only the elusive demon spirits have not appeared; all the other Star Beast Kings have already arrived here.

Of course, it's also possible that the demons aren't qualified to be here.

Upon hearing Biji's question, Di Tian smiled.

"The time for us soul beasts to counterattack humanity is almost here!"

He didn't reveal Lin Yun's identity directly, but only gave a vague explanation before carrying Lin Yun into the space and disappearing into the Lake of Life.

"Why are you being so mysterious? Can't you just say it directly?" the rough-around-the-edges Xiong Jun grumbled somewhat discontentedly.

What he dislikes most is people who are scheming and manipulative. If someone disagrees with him, he'll fight them. If one fight isn't enough, he'll fight two.

The power of the TM bear!

The Demon King glanced speechlessly at this muscle-bound idiot, shook his head, and left.

Spending too much time with Xiong Jun made him afraid that his brilliant mind, which was the best in Xingdou, would be corrupted by Xiong Jun and he would become like him, with his mind full of fighting.

The weakest of the ferocious beasts, the Crimson King, blinked its eyes, its three heads looking at each other in bewilderment. After silently greeting Bi Ji, it also left the Lake of Life.

The reason he came here was to find out about the mysterious pressure that had appeared before. Since Di Tian had already found the source of the pressure and had no intention of revealing it, he naturally wouldn't stay in the Lake of Life forever.

The Emperor Beast still needs his protection; among all the ferocious beasts, the Crimson King is the busiest.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Xiong Jun snorted impatiently and left as well, leaving only Bi Ji still standing by the lake, silently watching the shimmering surface of the water.

In another dimension.

Gu Yuena, who felt like every second was an eternity, finally saw Di Tian return. The moment Di Tian stepped into the alternate dimension, she set her sights on Lin Yun.

"That's right, it's that aura, it's him!" Gu Yuena said excitedly.

At this point, Gu Yuena endured her injuries, and her slender and beautiful dragon body emitted a dreamlike colorful light, eventually transforming into a beautiful woman with silver hair, purple eyes, and a face as beautiful as a painting.

"Is he asleep?" Gu Yuena walked quickly to Lin Yun, reached out and gently touched his brow. After feeling it for a moment, her expression became somewhat complicated.

"I never imagined you would pay such a high price to leave the realm of gods, abandoning your original body and completely transforming into a human, retaining only your most primal power."

After Gu Yuena removed her hand, a strange mark appeared on Lin Yun's brow.

It was a golden mark made up of dragon wings and dragon bones. At first glance, it looked a bit like... a long scythe?

"Leave him to me, you can leave now," Gu Yuena said softly.

"Yes, my lord." Di Tian bowed and handed Lin Yun to Gu Yuena before turning and leaving the space.

After Di Tian left, a charming smile suddenly bloomed on Gu Yuena's originally calm face, and she poked Lin Yun's face with her slender, fair fingers.

"I was supposed to call you brother, but I never expected you to voluntarily shrink to such a small size. If you lost your memory, perhaps I could let you call me sister?"

"Giggle~"

Gu Yuena had considered devouring the slumbering Lin Yun to perfect her bloodline and become a complete dragon god.

But she quickly dismissed the idea as soon as it surfaced.

If she were in dire straits and had no other way out, she might choose to devour Lin Yun in an attempt to restore the glory of the former Dragon God. But she is not in dire straits now, and she does not want to merge with another person, not knowing if they would still be hers.

It's normal for someone to not want to become someone else after developing their own consciousness, and Gu Yuena is no exception.

She didn't know if she would still be herself after devouring Lin Yun and regaining her status as the Dragon God.

Moreover, given her current state...

No matter which direction you look at it from, devouring Lin Yun is definitely not the best option, but rather the last resort when all other options are exhausted.

Silence returned to the alternate dimension.

Only Gu Yuena, who had taken human form, and Lin Yun, who had fallen into a deep sleep, remained.

He slept for three whole years.

……

Since Lin Yun has now "transformed into a human," he still needs the energy necessary to maintain his life activities. Therefore, Gu Yuena cut off a piece of the Life Gold nurtured by the Lake of Life and integrated it into his body.

The immense life force of the living metal sustains Lin Yun's normal energy needs, and this immense life force can also accelerate Lin Yun's awakening.

If it weren't for Gu Yuena's help, Lin Yun might have needed several more years to awaken from his slumber.

The power of the Golden Dragon King is not so easily digested.

Of course, besides Gu Yuena, a certain old Deng, who had benefited greatly, was secretly absorbing the power of the Life Gold to repair his divine consciousness, while also using the power of the Life Gold to strengthen Lin Yun's spiritual sea.

Taking someone else's spiritual home as his own, and even eating and taking things from their house, Old Deng himself felt a little embarrassed. If he didn't lend a hand, he felt he wouldn't have the face to continue living there.

In a vast, emerald-green sea of ​​spirit, Lin Yun's illusory body floated on the surface, with green-gold waves constantly lapping against him.

Above the Sea of ​​Spirit, a dazzling green-gold sun hangs, radiating a vibrant green light that illuminates the entire Sea of ​​Spirit.

Of course, while it's called a sea of ​​the spirit, it's really just a small lake.

However, compared to the normal human spiritual sea, Lin Yun's current spiritual strength is already comparable to that of a Spiritual Soul Master at the Soul Venerable level.

This is the power of the Gold of Life.
