Chapter 454: The Silver Dragon King's Decision
Star Dou Forest.
After the video ended, the Silver Dragon King finally had time to sort out her thoughts. As she recalled her relationship with that man in the video, she uncharacteristically felt a bit shy.
She couldn't help but think: Does this count as what humans call an "old cow eating tender grass" (an older person dating a much younger one)?
And as for who was the old cow and who was the tender grass?
Wasn't it obvious?
After all, the Silver Dragon King had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Even though most of that time was spent in hibernation, meaning she hadn't truly experienced much of the world resulting in a mentality that was still somewhat innocent and childish her age and status were undeniable.
And yet, she was supposed to end up with a man whose age wasn't even a fraction of hers?
Even she found it a little embarrassing.
In truth, the only reason the Silver Dragon King felt shy about this was that, ever since she awoke, she had been influenced by human society.
If she had a mindset like Di Tian a true battle hardened soul beast that had lived for hundreds of thousands of years then she wouldn't care about age differences at all.
For soul beasts, everything was about strength.
To them, choosing a mate wasn't about age or experience it was about worthiness. If the White Cloud Lord was strong enough, then he was qualified to be their ruler's mate.
Age gaps?
Who cared?
That was never a concern in the world of soul beasts.
In fact, if their ruler really ended up with the White Cloud Lord, not only would they not oppose it, but they'd celebrate it.
After all, he was worthy.
The Silver Dragon King took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. She then began assessing her current state.
There was no doubt she had fully recovered her peak strength!
This was the strongest she had ever been.
Back then, she had been born from the Dragon God in the middle of a war, meaning she was newly created and had yet to fully master her powers. And before she could grow, she was immediately hunted down by five God Kings.
It was no wonder she had been overwhelmed and forced to flee in disgrace.
But now, after hundreds of thousands of years, even though she spent most of that time in hibernation, she had still slowly refined her powers.
She had mastered her strength completely.
And now, thanks to the question and answer system restoring her, she had no weaknesses her foundation was rock solid.
This was proof that her countless years of rest and recovery had not been wasted.
Even if a pig lived for hundreds of thousands of years, it would probably evolve into a divine beast.
And she was a dragon.
Feeling the immense power surging within her, the Silver Dragon King considered something she once thought impossible.
Should she finally return to the God Realm and take revenge?
No… not yet.
After watching the video, her perspective had changed.
She now knew about the future catastrophe that awaited Douluo Star.
Compared to the God Realm, the Abyssal Invasion was a far greater threat.
Even though she still wanted to return to the God Realm one day, she understood that storming in alone as a single God King would be suicidal.
She needed allies.
She needed an army.
She had already waited hundreds of thousands of years.
What were a few more?
And when she thought about allies, the first person who came to mind was
The White Cloud Lord, Ye Cheng.
The man who, if nothing unexpected happened, would one day become her mate and father her child.
His strength was growing at a monstrous pace.
However, he wasn't quite ready yet.
And even though she was back at full power, if she signed a soul contract with him, then her strength might weaken again.
But
The image of that adorable little dragon girl, Kanna, flashed through her mind.
And suddenly
A deep instinct surged within her.
She wanted to give birth to such an exceptional offspring.
She wanted to create a stronger generation.
Simply put
Her biological clock had started ticking.
Of course, as a supreme divine beast, she wasn't going to be ruled by instincts like some wild animal.
But during these specific periods, her natural drive to reproduce would intensify.
And this time
She had a perfect candidate.
For countless years, no one in the Star Dou Forest had ever caught her attention.
Di Tian?
Bear Lord?
All of them were unworthy.
They were nothing compared to her bloodline.
Only the Golden Dragon King, who had inherited the other half of the Dragon God's power, was ever qualified to be her mate.
But now
There was someone else.
Ye Cheng.
He had proven himself to the world.
He was worthy.
And with Klee's existence, his bloodline had begun to evolve it was now slowly transforming into the bloodline of a Creation God.
For a female looking to produce the strongest offspring, such qualities were irresistible.
And now, after watching the video
Seeing the future they could have
Seeing Kanna's existence
Her heart wavered.
Under the combined influence of the video and her instincts, the Silver Dragon King finally made a decision.
She wouldn't wait any longer.
She would sign the contract with Ye Cheng now.
Even if it meant temporarily weakening herself
She believed that his growth rate would surpass all expectations.
In time, just as in the video, he would carry her forward instead.
When looking at the big picture, signing a soul contract with him was a guaranteed win.
It was an investment that would only bring benefits.
Both for herself and for their future.
With this logic, the Silver Dragon King convinced herself completely.
And so
She made her choice.
