Beneath the Pool

Chapter 47 Beneath the Pool

The space beneath this pool of water is extremely vast, far exceeding the small exposed "entrance" above. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to even approach this pool of water, let alone imagine that there is such a huge space below.

As Gu Yuena descended into the pool, she noticed that unlike the distinct ice-blue and fiery red waters above, the deeper she went, the more she realized that the water below had mixed together, turning into a pure white color.

After some time, Gu Yuena finally dived to the bottom of the pool, where the first thing she saw was two huge, intact dragon skeletons.

On one side, there were two massive, undulating mountains, resembling ice-blue landscapes, while on the other side, there were two lava valleys stretching into the unknown depths. Each of these two dragon skeletons was no smaller than Gu Yuena's original body. In this space that had turned into pure white, the colors of the two were indistinguishable, and one could even vaguely see the ice-blue and fiery-red dragon scales scattered nearby.

Gu Yuena opened her mouth and let out a long dragon roar. As she called out, a faint light gradually appeared in the eye sockets of the two dragon skulls, then became more and more dazzling, and finally solidified into a form.

"Who?" A cold shout rang out, and a man in red flew out from inside the fiery red dragon skeleton, staring coldly at Gu Yuena.

"Brother Huo," emerged from the icy blue dragon bones, a gentle woman in a blue dress. She first called out to the man in red before looking at Gu Yuena, "He seems to be a junior of the dragon race."

"Fire Dragon King, Water Dragon King," Gu Yuena revealed their identities, but she didn't know how to face them. The two were at an awkward juncture and fell into an eerie silence.

And Yinlan was right. These two dragon kings were a man and a woman, her brother and sister. How did that child know this?

"...Which lineage are you descended from? What is the current state of the Dragon Clan?" After a long while, the Fire Dragon King finally managed to utter this question. He and the Water Dragon King had been looking at her for a long time but couldn't figure out whose descendant Gu Yuena was.

"Why do I feel that this child's aura... is somewhat similar to that of the Father God..." the Water Dragon King then added, expressing his own observations. "What exactly is the situation outside?"

"Now, the only dragons left outside are Di Tian, ​​me, and a hellish demon dragon," Gu Yuena truthfully stated the current situation of the dragon race. "In addition, the God Realm has sealed away half of my body... There are only four of us left in the dragon race."

"Alas, my dragon race has indeed fallen to this state." The Fire Dragon King shook his head in pain. He and the Water Dragon King did not die at the same time. He died in the early stages of the Dragon God War, while the Water Dragon King was the last victim of the Dragon God War. However, their bodies fell to the mortal realm at the same time, forming this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Only then did their souls have the opportunity to communicate, and the Fire Dragon King learned about the situation of the Dragon God War.

"Your half-body?" The Water Dragon King grasped the key point and looked puzzled.

"After the Father God fell, his body split into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. The Golden Dragon King inherited his madness, resentment, negative emotions, and power, while the Silver Dragon King inherited his spiritual power and elemental power." Gu Yuena was too embarrassed to say "inherited the wisdom of the Dragon God" in the original statement, so she used the more respectable term "spiritual power." "I am the Silver Dragon King."

"Huh?" The Fire Dragon King was greatly shocked, and his thoughts were momentarily blank. He didn't know what to say. No wonder he couldn't tell which lineage the other party belonged to, and he could feel the aura of the Father God from the other party. It turned out that the other party was a split of the Father God's original body.

"So, the new Dragon God hasn't appeared all these years?" The Water Dragon King asked another question instead. She didn't really care about Gu Yuena's identity as the Silver Dragon King. Before the birth of the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings, she was the youngest sister among the nine Dragon Kings. She had always enjoyed the love of her father and her older brothers and sisters. She was also the Dragon God's chosen daughter-in-law.

"So the Dragon God's ban is real?" Gu Yuena immediately pressed for confirmation. This was something she had always wanted to know. She wasn't very smart, but she wasn't really stupid. That day, she was forced by those two God Kings to believe the "truth" they spoke of and was cooperating under duress. But now she had met a "witness" who had experienced the Dragon God War, and she needed to know the real "truth".

This relates to... how she should get along with Yinlan in the future.

If what those two God-Kings said is true, then her relationship with Yinlan will continue, which truly means that the fear and tension that tormented her for most of her life was indeed a joke, and the "targeting by the God Realm" that she had been worried about was completely unfounded... This also means that Yinluo's guess was correct, that it was the Father God who caused the Soul Beast Clan so much trouble.

If what those two god-kings said is true... she'll probably have to endure the humiliation and secretly change her attitude towards Yinlan.

At this point, even Gu Yuena was unsure whether she wanted the "truth" to be true or false... but she didn't want to lose Yinlan, the first true "friend" in her life.

"It's true. Why would you ask such a question?" The Water Dragon King's expression seemed even more puzzled. "That's why I'm asking you, has no new Dragon God been born all these years? Neither you nor that Golden Dragon King?"

She had assumed that it was because her and her brother's burial place was too remote that Gu Yuena had been able to find it for so many years, but little did she know that the new Dragon God had not appeared at all.

"...Since my birth, I have never received any inheritance related to the Dragon God. I only know that I am the Silver Dragon King, one of the demigods of the Dragon God. Apart from that, I know nothing else. My understanding of the outside world is entirely based on what Di Tian said and my own guesses. I always thought that the God Realm was deliberately targeting my race," Gu Yuena lowered her eyelids, not knowing whether she should be happy or disappointed. However, the corners of her mouth couldn't be suppressed and turned up, as if she had been relieved. "As for that Golden Dragon King, he is completely irrational."

"You didn't receive the inheritance? Father God, why is that..." The Water Dragon King stared wide-eyed at Gu Yuena in disbelief.

The Fire Dragon King opened his mouth, but then closed it again, saying nothing. Unlike his sister, and considering what Gu Yuena had said before that there were only four dragons left in the outside world, he quickly realized the Dragon God's intention in doing this. However, after thinking about it, he decided not to tarnish the Dragon God's glorious and majestic image in front of his innocent sister.

"Then how did you learn about the 'Dragon God's Prohibition'?" Seeing the situation, he seized the opportunity to change the topic, shifting the focus from "Why didn't the Dragon God grant the Silver Dragon King his inheritance" to "How did the Silver Dragon King know about this?"

The latest novel is first published here!

"...The God of Destruction, a being from the divine realm, bestowed the divine throne upon the God King," Gu Yuena sighed after a moment of silence, her face solemn as she replied, "The inheritor of the divine throne is the son of a human and a transformed soul beast."

The topic of the Fire Dragon King was changed rather abruptly, but based on her conversation with Yinluo not long ago, she keenly sensed the other party's thoughts.

So, that little blade of grass guessed everything correctly... Father God.
