Douluo Continent: The Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Darkness, the Dragon Emperor Breaks Through the

She sat cross-legged on a stone platform at the bottom of the Lake of Life, her long silver hair slowly swaying in the water, her eyes closed, as if she were gathering the fragments of power that had just been scattered.

The ripples on the water spread slowly, pushing outwards in concentric circles, and then slowly receding when they touched the shore.

The surrounding atmosphere gradually returned to its previous calm, and all the disordered streams were coming together again, like a string that had been combed, with each one returning to its proper place.

On the morning of the fourth day, a silvery-white light rose from the lake.

Gu Yuena emerged from the lake and stood on its shore, her demeanor even calmer than before.

She raised her head, her gaze passing through the treetops and landing on the distant sky, as if sensing some faint aura approaching her from the direction of the divine realm.

She didn't look away, nor did she prepare to fight back; she simply stood there, waiting for the approaching auras to reach her.

The first to arrive was the God of Destruction.

He didn't fall from the sky, but walked out from the edge of the forest, as if the trees had made way for him.

He walked to the other side of the lake and stopped, standing with his hands behind his back. His purple eyes appeared even deeper than usual in the morning light.

He stared at Gu Yuena for a moment, then asked, "You've recovered?"

Gu Yuena said, "I've recovered somewhat."

The God of Destruction did not press further.

The second figure is the goddess of life.

She descended from above the treetops, her long green hair fluttering gently as she landed, the sound as soft as stepping on a thick layer of grass.

Her gaze first fell on Gu Yuena, as if checking her condition. Only after confirming that she had done so did she look away and say, "You did it."

Gu Yuena said, "He lost, but I couldn't kill him either."

The goddess of life said, “That is enough. His divine position is shattered and will never be restored.”

Poseidon, the god of the sea, has arrived.

He came from the direction of the sea, riding the waves with steady steps, carrying the unique composure of the tides rising and falling.

He stood at the edge of the lake, gently touched the tip of the trident of Poseidon to the water, letting a ripple spread out along the surface, and then he said, "The realm of the gods has not been this peaceful in a long time."

The god of good and the god of evil also arrived, standing a little further away.

The god of kindness did not speak, but stood with his hands behind his back in the shadows of the trees, waiting quietly.

The evil god leaned against a tree trunk, his gaze sweeping over the figures of people gathered on the lake shore.

Gu Yuena's gaze swept over them one by one before returning to the lake.

"You came to see me not just to check on my injuries, right?"

The God of Destruction did not deny it: "He's gone. But the matter of the Dragon God is not over yet."

Gu Yuena did not respond.

She stood there, her gaze fixed on the lake, as if waiting for a question she had been waiting to be asked.

The God of Destruction continued, "Back then, the Dragon God split into two, the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, and each was sealed away. The Golden Dragon King is still there, and the location of the seal has never changed."

He paused for a moment, "After the Asura God's divine position shattered, the seal also loosened. Someone needs to deal with it."

He looked at Gu Yuena, "You are the Silver Dragon King. You know better than us what that is."

Gu Yuena remained silent for a long time, long enough that the ripples on the lake had completely subsided.

She said, "You want to release the Golden Dragon King."

The God of Destruction said, "It's not a desire, it's a need. That seal won't last much longer."

Gu Yuena's gaze fell on the distant lake.

She said, "He was part of the Dragon God back then, but he's another side. He won't listen to me."

The God of Destruction said, "He doesn't need to listen to you. All you need is someone to catch him when he comes out."

Chapter 320 The Death of the Dragon God

Gu Yuena did not answer.

She stood there for a long time, so long that the sunlight began to slant, filtering through the tree canopy and falling on her shoulders.

She said, "I understand."

Then she turned and walked into the depths of the forest, her steps as steady as the breaths that were being gathered back together, as if she had already made a confirmation in her heart and no longer needed any further embellishment.

The remaining figures also retreated.

The lakeshore returned to tranquility.

After the God of Destruction finished speaking, the air on the lake shore seemed to freeze.

Gu Yuena did not answer immediately. Her gaze remained fixed on the lake, but her fingers clenched slightly, as if she had touched an old wound that should not have been touched.

She was silent for a moment, then said, "The death of the Dragon God is not as you have recorded."

The God of Destruction's brow twitched slightly: "Which part are you referring to?"

Gu Yuena said, "All of them."

She paused for a moment, as if sorting through memories she hadn't shared with anyone in a long time.

She began, "The Dragon God's split back then wasn't his own choice. It was the divine realm that forced him to do it."

Her voice was very soft, as if she didn't want the words to linger in the air for too long.

“His power has reached the boundary you've set. He didn't cross that line; he just stood too close to it.”

"The God of Good and the God of Evil once spoke with him, saying that his existence threatened the stability of the divine realm."

"He didn't deny it, but he didn't back down either. He said he just wanted to stay in his own territory and wouldn't cross the line."

The God of Destruction was silent for a moment: "He did not cross the line."

Gu Yuena said, "But he also did not promise that he would never cross the line."

She paused for a moment, then said, "So you decided to act ahead of time. You sealed his power first, and then attacked him. He didn't resist because he was powerless to resist at that point."

She raised her gaze to the ripples spreading across the lake: "He didn't die in battle. He died from your fear of his power. After his death, his power split into two, a gold dragon and a silver dragon. The silver dragon, carrying his remaining consciousness, sank to the lower realm. The gold dragon was sealed by you at the place where he fell."

After she finished speaking, no one responded.

After a moment of silence by the lake, the God of Destruction asked, "Where exactly is the seal on the Golden Dragon King?"

Gu Yuena said, "At the end of my domain. The reason I was chosen to guard that seal back then was because only I could suppress his aura."

The voice of the God of Kindness came from beneath the trees: "How is the seal now?"

Gu Yuena said, "It's thinning. If left unchecked, it will eventually break the seal and come out on its own."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Instead of waiting for him to break the seal, we should release him while we still have him under control."

The God of Destruction looked at her: "You want to catch him?"

Gu Yuena said, "He is a part of me, the sealed side of me. If I don't catch him, no one else can."

After she finished speaking, she stopped looking at anyone. A silver light rose from beneath her feet, slowly spreading upwards along her body's contours and enveloping her entire body.

The light was not dazzling; it was more like a thin mist being soaked by the morning light.

When the light faded, Gu Yuena's figure had already disappeared on the lake.

Only the departing figures of people remained on the lake shore, and the water was gradually returning to calm.

The shimmering water reflected the sky, turning it into a perfect silver-blue expanse.

Three days after Gu Yuena disappeared, the God of Destruction's letter arrived.

The letter was not written on paper; it was a purple ripple suspended in the void, slowly spreading out in the secret chamber of the shrine.

The letter was short, saying that the location of the seal had been determined, and the aura of the Golden Dragon King was seeping outward from the inside. Continuing to delay would cause the seal to collapse on its own, at which time the tide of divine power would sweep across the entire edge of the divine realm, and even the lower realm would feel the impact.

The last sentence of the letter reads: "Tomorrow. The Gate of Seal. You can come or not, it's up to you."

After reading the letter, Ling Feng put it in his sleeve and walked into the courtyard. Qian Renxue was standing under the old locust tree, holding a cup of tea.

"Tomorrow we'll go to the realm of the gods," he said. "To break the seal and release the Golden Dragon King."

Qian Renxue put down her teacup.

"Gu Yuena will be going too?"

Ling Feng said, "She's already there."

Qian Renxue nodded: "Then I'll go and prepare."

The next morning, Ling Feng and Qian Renxue passed through the rift in the divine realm and landed on the gray platform at the edge of the Destroyer God Domain.

The God of Destruction was already waiting for them. Without saying anything more, he simply raised his chin towards a golden rift in the distance: "Follow that passage forward; the seal is at the end. Gu Yuena is already inside. Once you get there, you'll know what to do."

After saying that, he turned and walked back into the depths of the palace.

Ling Feng and Qian Renxue walked forward along the golden crack.

The rock walls on both sides of the crack are covered with a layer of fine golden patterns, like a net that is slowly breathing.

The further you go in, the denser the patterns become, the darker the colors, and the dimmer the light shining through the gaps.

A heavy, ancient atmosphere permeated the air, like a scent that had been sealed for a long time, finally being released.

At the end of the road was a huge golden door.

The door surface has no decorative patterns, only a crack running across it, like a wound that has not yet fully healed.

Gu Yuena stood in front of the door, her gaze fixed on the crack. Hearing footsteps behind her, she did not turn around.

"I can't hold on much longer," she said softly. "At most, I have half a day left."

Ling Feng walked to the door and gently placed his hand on the door.

He could feel the vibrations coming from inside the door, as if something was slowly striking the door, not with brute force, but with a continuous, rhythmic sound like breathing.

Qian Renxue walked to the right side of the door and released her angelic power, golden light covering the area in front of her.

Gu Yuena walked to the center of the door, and silvery-white light surged from her palm, extending to both sides along the crack.

When Ling Feng's destructive power was injected into the base of the door, the crack began to widen, and golden light surged out from the crack, like a window that had been pried open.
