Chapter 447: The City Lord's Sacrifice?
At this moment, the Silver Dragon King paid no attention to the barrage of comments flooding the live stream. Instead, she had fallen deep into thought, carefully analyzing the five answer choices before her.
After all
If she answered correctly, she would fully regain her lost power!
At her current stage, restoring her God King level strength would change everything. Not only would it allow her to reshape the balance between humans and soul beasts, but even without taking any action, her mere presence would serve as a deterrent to all.
However
If she answered incorrectly, the penalty was equally terrifying.
Losing the Genesis God Position would mean she could never reach the God King realm again.
She had to be extremely careful with her answer.
"Among the five choices, aside from the last one... the first four are Ye Cheng, Di Tian, the Asura God, and the Dragon God... Which one should I choose? Or could they all be wrong?"
The Silver Dragon King's elegant brows furrowed deeply.
She knew that the key to answering correctly lay in understanding who Kanna really was.
Was she a dragon?
Or a human?
If she could determine Kanna's true nature, the correct answer would become obvious.
Time was running out.
Seeing that the answering time limit was about to expire, the Silver Dragon King became even more anxious, her mind racing through countless possibilities.
Then suddenly
A flash of inspiration struck her!
This was a personal Q&A question.
That meant the question must be directly related to the answerer.
If Kanna was connected to her, then there was a very high probability that she was a dragon.
And not just any dragon a dragon with a deep connection to her.
If that was the case, then
The Asura God could be eliminated.
The Dragon God was also unlikely, considering he had been dead for countless years.
That left only Ye Cheng and Di Tian.
Both seemed plausible.
But which one was correct?
After much deliberation, she still couldn't decide.
So
She chose to follow her instincts and pick the answer that felt right.
"I choose A Ye Cheng!"
Taking a deep breath, she spoke firmly and without hesitation.
The moment her answer was spoken
The live stream chat fell silent for a moment.
Then
The mechanical system voice announced:
[Correct Answer! Reward: Full Restoration of Peak Strength!]
The moment the words fell, the Silver Dragon King was instantly bathed in a radiant white light.
She could feel it
Her exhausted body was rapidly replenishing its lost energy under the embrace of this divine light.
The lingering injuries that had burdened her for so long were instantly erased.
The light only lasted for a few seconds.
When it finally faded, the Silver Dragon King looked the same on the outside
But in truth, she had fully returned to her God King level peak!
At that very moment
Every living being on Douluo Continent felt a mysterious aura surge through the world.
At the same time
Soul beasts across the land howled in excitement, their cries of joy and reverence echoing one after another.
It was as if
They were celebrating the arrival of their goddess.
The Silver Dragon King still felt slightly unreal
Everything had happened so effortlessly.
As she revelled in the joy of her restored power, an even deeper fear of the Q&A system took root within her.
After all
She was a God King.
And yet, the Q&A system had restored her with ease.
Its true power was beyond imagination.
Meanwhile
The live chat exploded in shock and confusion.
[Wait, what?! The correct answer was Ye Cheng?!]
[Does this mean Kanna is Ye Cheng's daughter?!]
[If there's a father, then obviously there must be a mother...]
[That raises the real question who's the mother?!]
[No way… it couldn't be…]
[...You're kidding, right? We were joking when we said the City Lord sacrificed himself… but… could it be true?!]
[Sigh, the City Lord has sacrificed so much for us.]
[Yeah… He's been through a lot.]
[No, no, NO! I refuse to believe it! There's NO WAY the City Lord and her I refuse to accept it!]
[We should find out soon. The system should be playing the explanation video any moment now.]
[Right. No matter what, the system always shows the correct answer after a question is answered. Our doubts will be resolved soon enough.]
The reactions varied.
Some people felt moved.
Some felt guilty.
Some were in utter denial, as if their idol had just crumbled before them.
After all
Through both the future videos and real world events, Ye Cheng had already become a living legend an idol for all of humanity.
At this point, his fanbase was immeasurable.
Countless people idolized him.
Now
The idea that he might have fathered a child with her...
It was too much for some to handle.
…
After a brief pause, the live stream system updated.
[Question: Who is Kanna's biological father?]
[Correct Answer Option A: Ye Cheng.]
[Would you like to play the explanation video?]
The system asked the Silver Dragon King for confirmation.
She had the option to play the video or decline it.
However
If she chose not to watch the video now, she would never get another chance to see it.
Driven by curiosity and the desire to understand who Kanna was
She selected "Yes."
The live stream screen blurred for a moment
And then, a new scene unfolded.
The first thing visible
Was a vast and flourishing forest.
It was Star Dou Forest!
However
Compared to its current state, the Star Dou Forest in the video looked far more vibrant and thriving.
Just from this visual alone, it was clear that soul beasts had prospered greatly in this future.
The scene shifted
To the core area.
A majestic, ancient castle stood tall.
Inside
A grand hall, resembling a ceremonial altar.
At the center of this altar
Was a massive oval object.
It was hundreds of meters tall, with a smooth, jade white surface adorned with gold and purple markings, radiating an air of mystery.
There was no doubt about it
This was an egg.
More specifically
A dragon egg.
[Holy crap, that's a HUGE egg!]
[If the egg is that big, the mother must be even bigger…]
[Wait, WHO laid this egg?!]
Curious spectators held their breath, waiting for the truth to be revealed.
Then
The scene shifted.
Standing beneath the giant egg
Were two people.
A man and a woman.
And when the audience saw their faces
Many reacted with realization, while others covered their faces in shock.
There was no doubt about it.
The two figures were White Cloud City Lord Ye Cheng
And his partner, the Soul Beast Queen, the Silver Dragon King.
At that moment
The two of them gazed at the massive egg with tender affection.
Ye Cheng spoke softly:
"It's a girl…"
"If Klee has a younger sister, then even if I'm no longer here, the two of them can support each other and survive."
The Silver Dragon King immediately covered his mouth, eyes filled with anxious concern.
"Don't say such ominous things!"
She threw herself into his arms, and he gently embraced her.
"Alright, alright… I won't say it anymore."
He smiled indulgently
But in his eyes, there was a hint of helplessness and reluctance.
The live stream audience felt their hearts grow heavy.
Was this fate truly inevitable?
