"It no longer exists."
"Even the name 'Dragon God Realm' is forgotten, except by the oldest beings."
"The oldest books on the continent don't record this name."
A deep sorrow appeared on the Space Dragon King's face, his golden vertical pupils revealing profound self-reproach; the man seemed somewhat withdrawn.
"As expected."
"It's all my fault!"
"Friend, can you tell me the name of this planet now?"
"This was once the origin of the dragon race, the Lord's mother planet."
"It was the birthplace and burial place of countless mountain dragons; the foundation of this land is made from the flesh and blood of the dragon race."
Huo Yuhao said softly:
"Now it's called Douluo Star."
"This land is called Douluo Continent."
"Douluo Star…"
The Space Dragon King repeatedly chewed on these three words, his golden vertical pupils glowing slightly, as if trying to firmly memorize them.
Then he looked at Huo Yuhao again and said,
"Could you tell me in detail about the current situation of the Dragon Clan and the Beast Clan?"
"With the Dragon God gone, their situation must be very bad."
Huo Yuhao chuckled softly upon hearing this, his voice clearly audible throughout the pure white space.
The Space Dragon King's heart sank upon hearing this sneer, realizing the Beast Clan's dire situation.
Huo Yuhao didn't answer his question directly, but instead asked,
"How many of the nine Dragon Kings, the nine sons of the Dragon God, do you think are still alive?"
The Space Dragon King was somewhat surprised, a bad premonition creeping into his heart.
"After killing the Time Dragon King, the second one the Lord killed was me."
"I don't know the subsequent outcome, but theoretically, based on the strength of the nine of us, two or three should have survived."
"Little Shui should have survived, right? We all love her dearly, and we would definitely leave her the hope of survival."
Huo Yuhao shook his head. The Space Dragon King's pupils constricted sharply, his lips trembled slightly, and his body trembled involuntarily.
"It's a pity that none of the nine Dragon Kings survived; they all died in that conflict."
"The Water Dragon King you mentioned is the same; her and the Fire Dragon King's remains are still on Douluo Continent."
"I happen to know where they are."
The Space Dragon King muttered to himself,
"How could this be?"
"No! What if all nine Dragon Kings were dead?! Wouldn't only the human gods remain on the field then?!"
"What happened next?!"
The Space Dragon King instantly realized the gravity of the situation.
The berserk Dragon God, the annihilated Dragon Kings, and the blood-soaked human gods—he dared not imagine what might happen next.
He took a slight step back, somewhat bewildered, his eyes fixed on Huo Yuhao, hoping he would deny his suspicions.
But Huo Yuhao's words were like a cold, sharp sword tearing through his defenses, piercing straight into the Space Dragon King's heart.
"Just as you expected." "
Faced with the berserk Dragon God, the Asura God had no choice but to use the Asura Demon Sword to cleave the Dragon God in two while he was already determined to die."
"Unfortunately, the Beast Gods witnessed this scene."
"Thus, although the Asura God was extremely unwilling, a war broke out between humans and beastmen, a civil war that depleted most of the Dragon God Realm's resources."
"Once a battle breaks out, it's a matter of life and death, especially when facing a collectively crazed Beast Gods."
"In the end, this civil war ended with the near annihilation of the Beast Gods."
"The Dragon God Realm collapsed, and the current Douluo Continent is under the control of the God Realm."
"The gods there are all human gods, along with the original few innate gods."
The Space Dragon King's golden vertical pupils dimmed slightly; this future was already the worst possible outcome in his mind.
Seeing his expression, Huo Yuhao smiled casually and continued,
"Besides, the beast race will never be able to become gods again.
They have been placed under a restriction on their bloodline, a restriction that will cause them to face a death tribulation every 100,000 years."
"The one who could place such a restriction on the beast race, even if I don't tell you, you know who it is, right?"
The Space Dragon King hadn't expected such a worse outcome. His expression was pained, and his voice became extremely hoarse.
"My lord, why are you like this?!"
"In the past, there was no distinction between races in the Dragon God Realm. All living beings were your subjects, even the lowest-ranking insects had the potential to become gods."
"This…"
Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised and said,
"So, there was no racial division in the Dragon God Realm?"
"I thought there was already a distinction between humans and soul beasts back then."
The Space Dragon King shook his head sadly, this former dragon king now resembling a helpless child.
He said in a hoarse voice,
"I don't know what a soul beast is."
"Back in the Dragon God Realm, racial concepts were very weak."
"Because we all shared a common lord."
"Although the internal deities were divided into beast race deities and human deities."
"Generally speaking, they could be collectively called beast race deities."
"Humans were a rather special kind of beast race at that time; they had short lifespans but strong talents, and they made up a large proportion of the deities."
Huo Yuhao understood, shook his head, and said,
"What kind of lack of racial concepts is that?"
"It's just that the Dragon God was too strong, and no one dared to act recklessly in front of him."
"Back then, there should have been factional divisions within your ranks."
"Otherwise, how could two factions have clashed so quickly during the final battle?"
"The beast race deities were targeting human deities."
Huo Yuhao's retort left the Space Dragon King speechless; he couldn't refute this fact.
Perhaps the moment fate chose to favor humanity, humanity ceased to be a beast race.
Humans were truly beasts above beasts.
They were more easily favored by the rules, more easily able to break through their limitations, and even the human bloodline was extremely inclusive.
Any bloodline could be integrated into the human bloodline.
Even beast-race deities generally choose to walk and even fight in human form.
This is because the human body is more suited to the flow of divine power; the unique meridian structure of humans makes divine power as docile as a sheep, rather than the ferocity of a beast's body.
While ferocious divine power certainly makes divine techniques more powerful, the damage it inflicts on one's own body is unimaginable.
Huo Yuhao waved his hand, not continuing to argue with the Space Dragon King on this issue.
Because those things were all in the past; discussing the past was the job of historians, not Huo Yuhao's.
"Since your spiritual power is so strong, you should have sensed the Silver Dragon King."
"She stayed in Xilu City for a long time."
The young man transformed from the Space Dragon King nodded slightly and said,
"I saw her in the information recorded by my spiritual power."
"At that time, my will was in chaos, and I had no ability to think."
"It seems she's doing alright. I can see Life and Destruction helping her."
Huo Yuhao wasn't surprised that Life and Destruction helped Gu Yuena; the two of them knew the truth, and they would definitely help whenever they could, considering the wisdom of the Dragon God.
"That guy wants to revitalize the Soul Beasts, which are now the Beast Race."
"Although the plan is a bit foolish, his strength is still there."
"By the way, do you think the Silver Dragon King can inherit the Dragon God's position?"
Hearing Huo Yuhao's question, the Space Dragon King shook his head decisively without hesitation and said:
"Absolutely impossible!"
Huo Yuhao then asked:
"Why?"
The Space Dragon King said seriously:
"Although the Silver Dragon King is considered half of the Master, her bloodline level is not much higher than ours."
"If she came before me, I have full confidence that she would not be able to control the spatial elements at all."
"Her bloodline is far from meeting the requirements for the Dragon God's position. "
"The Master will not give the position to her!"
Huo Yuhao was not surprised by this answer; Gu Yuena indeed did not meet the requirements for the position.
"It seems the Dragon God's throne is uninheritable."
The Space Dragon King nodded, a hint of relief in his eyes.
"Perhaps it's a good thing."
"The God Star is a conspiracy. Whoever ascends to the throne will inevitably want to go further, but that will only repeat the same mistakes."
"The universe ruthlessly rejects all beings who wish to ascend to higher dimensions!" "
The Time Dragon King and I were influenced by the universe, making the choice we made back then."
"Perhaps."
Huo Yuhao lowered his eyes. He knew that the Spiritual Lord who controlled the rules was a genuine high-dimensional being, far surpassing the Dragon God's status.
However, he wasn't afraid of the universe's influence. If the universe could harm him, it would have acted long ago, not waited until now.
The rules were already in his hands, just like the Dragon God building the altar in preparation for ascending to higher dimensions.
Huo Yuhao's control of the rules was also an act of ascending to higher dimensions; there was no fundamental difference in their actions.
The difference was that Huo Yuhao had once been a high-dimensional being and possessed three rules.
