“This is your choice, and I cannot stop you, but…” The Silver Dragon King paused.

“You came here, surely not just to say these things, right?”

If it was merely to inform them of their intentions, there was no need to risk bringing Xuan Ming to the Lake of Life. She always felt that the Ice Dragon King had other plans.

“I do have an idea,” the Ice Dragon King said.

“However, it ultimately depends on you.”

“Me?” The Silver Dragon King was startled.

“Right now, even maintaining this form is extremely difficult for me. If I were to act rashly, I’m afraid I would fall into a deep slumber again.”

If it weren’t for the stimulation from the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s Dragon Souls, she wouldn’t know how much longer she would have slept.

“You don’t need to do anything,” the Ice Dragon King said.

The Silver Dragon King’s eyes subtly changed. “You want me to use the Dragon Clan’s ultimate power?”

The Ice Dragon King shook her head. “That is the Dragon Clan’s last hope. You are the Spirit Beast co-ruler, and the only one qualified to touch that power.”

“My plan doesn’t require those things, but if you want him to at least be able to help the Spirit Beast clan in the future, there is a very simple way.”

The Silver Dragon King frowned slightly. “What way?”

“You go and love him,” the Ice Dragon King said seriously.

“…”

“Auntie Ice, this is absolutely not allowed!”

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Di Tian suddenly stepped forward, firmly objecting.

“The Lord’s status is noble; she is the co-ruler of our Spirit Beasts. How can she so easily place her emotions on a human?”

“Not to mention that this goes against the Lord’s status, but even just considering this human, Xuan Ming, though he seems reliable now, who can predict the future? If he becomes a god later and betrays us, how will the Lord handle herself? And what kind of situation will our Spirit Beast clan fall into?”

The Ice Dragon King looked at Di Tian’s agitated appearance, sighed softly, and said, “Di Tian, I understand your concerns, but this is also the most secure method at present. Of course, I am only suggesting it.”

The Silver Dragon King lowered her head slightly, pondered for a moment, then looked up at the Ice Dragon King. “Can you explain? Why do you think this is secure?”

Seeing that the Silver Dragon King was wavering, Di Tian quickly said, “Lord, even if we really need to establish more connections with him, we can provide him with other help, establish other beneficial connections, and make him understand that helping us also brings him great benefits.

Or, we can search for other beings who might become gods, cooperate with them, and jointly release the Golden Dragon King to revive the Dragon God.”

The Silver Dragon King shook her head. “Cooperation based on interests can also lead to betrayal based on interests. Moreover, after he becomes a god, what else can the Spirit Beast clan give him? After becoming a god, his interests will align with the God Realm. What benefit would reviving the Dragon God bring him?”

“As for finding other god-level beings, putting aside whether we can find them, even if we do, how can you be sure they won’t betray us?”

“Auntie Ice, how can you be sure this kid won’t?” Di Tian asked.

“I’m not sure, which is why I proposed this method,” the Ice Dragon King said.

“As the new co-ruler of the Spirit Beasts, if the Silver Dragon King and Xuan Ming were to unite, then he and the Spirit Beast clan would have certain overlapping interests. His helping the Silver Dragon King obtain the Golden Dragon King’s power and achieve a new Dragon God would not go against his own interests.”

Xuan Ming is still young now, and given his situation, he himself said he is homeless. The positions and interests he has in the human World seem unrelated to him in his eyes, which is why he appears so carefree.

But he will grow up eventually. When he grows up, he will inevitably have to consider realistic issues like interests.

Seeing that the Silver Dragon King seemed to be genuinely considering the feasibility of this matter, Di Tian paced anxiously, his hands clenched into fists. “Auntie Ice, this is just your wishful thinking! Human hearts are fickle, and he is already deeply involved with the human World. In the future, after becoming a god, he will have access to broader circles. Who can guarantee that he won’t be tempted by the rules and interests of the God Realm?”

The Silver Dragon King raised her hand, signaling Di Tian to calm down, then looked at the Ice Dragon King. “I understand your good intentions, and I know the Dragon Clan’s current difficult situation requires a new turning point, but matters of emotion are not something I can control at will. If forced, it might backfire.”

“This is just a suggestion,” the Ice Dragon King said.

“A safeguard, and a possibility. The decision is yours. I’m not asking you to force yourself to love him. You can observe him slowly, and besides, this isn’t necessary.”

The Silver Dragon King frowned slightly. “You trust him that much?”

The Ice Dragon King paused, then floated in front of the Silver Dragon King. “Perform a Dragon Soul connection with me. See for yourself. After you see, you’ll understand.”

Di Tian was still a bit worried. “Auntie Ice, this…”

“Fire Dragon King, you show him too,” the Ice Dragon King said.

The Fire Dragon King sighed and connected his Dragon Soul with Di Tian. “See for yourself.”

“Oh, you old geezer! I knew you were pretending to sleep and peeking all the time!”

“…”

…

The sky gradually brightened, and the first ray of sunlight penetrated the deep waters of the Lake of Life, casting dappled light and shadows.

The gentle morning breeze swept by, bringing a touch of coolness.

By the lake shore, Xuan Ming remained frozen, while Zi Ji and Bi Ji stood guard nearby.

“Auntie!” A crisp and pleasant voice approached from a distance, followed by a Three-Eyed Golden Lion radiating brilliant golden light, happily running towards them, escorted by the massive Red King.

The Red King carefully followed behind the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, its enormous body appearing surprisingly agile. Its three huge heads constantly glanced left and right, vigilantly watching the surroundings to ensure the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s safety.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion ran to Bi Ji’s side, affectionately rubbing against her leg, then looked up, its large eyes darting around curiously, observing the frozen Xuan Ming. It asked, “Auntie, who is this? Why is he frozen here?”

Bi Ji gently stroked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s head and said with a smile, “This is Xuan Ming, brought back by Di Tian. He’s a bit shy. Zi Ji teased him a little, and he froze himself.”

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion tilted its head, its eyes full of confusion, and circled the frozen Xuan Ming several times, occasionally reaching out its small paw to gently touch the ice surface, feeling the chill.

Just then, the lake surface rippled, and Di Tian, along with the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, slowly emerged from the depths of the Lake of Life.

Looking at Xuan Ming, who had frozen himself, the Ice Dragon King’s eyes held a strange expression. “Did you tease him?”

“I just mentioned that his unusual reaction was due to the resonance of a true dragon’s bloodline, and he froze himself,” Zi Ji said, a little embarrassed.

“Bloodline resonance?” The Ice Dragon King’s expression grew even stranger.

“Isn’t that teasing?”

The bloodline resonance of a true dragon is initiated by the female and is a mating signal. However, many powerful female dragons also like to tease young ones this way.

“Uh… I didn’t expect him to be so shy,” Zi Ji said, feeling a bit guilty.

At that time, she wanted to see what level this person’s Dragon King bloodline had reached, so she quietly activated the bloodline resonance to test him. But from his reaction, he seemed completely unaware of these things.

“Brother, stop hiding,” the Ice Dragon King flew in front of the frozen Xuan Ming.

“She was just teasing you.”

The ice layer trembled slightly, and the thick ice encasing Xuan Ming suddenly shattered, turning into fine ice crystals that drifted into the air.

Xuan Ming looked at Di Tian behind him. “Have you finished discussing?”

“Almost,” the Ice Dragon King said.

“For your Yin-Yang Spirit Core, Di Tian will teach you how to control it next.”

“Also, he will help you develop the abilities of your Black Dragon Spirit.”

Xuan Ming nodded slightly upon hearing the Ice Dragon King’s words, his gaze falling on Di Tian. “Thank you.”

“No need,” Di Tian said with a serious expression, his gaze at Xuan Ming showing less wariness and more strangeness compared to last night.

“No need for what? Have you forgotten what I said?” The Ice Dragon King glared at Di Tian.

“He’s my brother, you should call him Uncle!”

Di Tian’s eye twitched slightly. “Auntie Ice, I think it’s more appropriate for these things to be discussed separately.”

Given the Ice Dragon King’s personality, he could already imagine her acting as the big sister to Zi Ji and the others.

If he were to call him Uncle, he would soon have a whole bunch of Aunts on his head.
