The Three-Eyed Golden Lion cautiously opened its eyes, somewhat puzzled as to why Di Tian hadn't disciplined it yet.
Then it saw Di Tian staring wide-eyed at the White King in the sky, oblivious to the fact that he was giving it its favorite black dragon skin.
The blonde girl breathed a sigh of relief, secretly delighted.
"Although I don't know what will happen after Sister Audrey leaves,
"she thought, "at least I'm safe now."
"Once Di Tian calms down, he shouldn't hit me anymore, right?"
The White King in the sky spread its massive wings, the strange, feather-like runes on them emitting a faint white light in the sunlight, the light extending outwards as if connecting to the real world.
Its thousand-meter-long body cast a sacred cross shadow on the ground, and the entire core area could see the undisguised White King in the sky.
In the distance, Zi Ji, who was choosing clothes from the Crimson King, was completely bewildered.
The entire dragon was wondering when another ferocious beast-level true dragon had appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Looking at the other's powerful, domineering, strong, and beautiful body, Zi Ji felt slightly insecure.
Just by looking at the aura, the other was definitely a level above her, and in terms of aesthetics, she couldn't compare.
However, Zi Ji was very happy inside, and her deep purple eyes revealed excitement.
Because the dragon race, which had been dwindling, had once again welcomed a new kin!
Zi Ji had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and had finally seen the third true dragon besides Di Tian.
"I wonder what kind of clothes the other likes."
"Red King, what do you think?"
Red King's three heads all popped up with question marks.
He had basically never transformed into human form and had no concept of fashion sense.
"Uh, should I squat down and look?"
Zi Ji's face darkened, and she decided not to talk to this stupid dog anymore, and started choosing clothes herself.
White King did not maintain his dragon form in the sky.
This posture was too conspicuous. Not to mention the core area, even the mixed circle could see it.
With a thought, White King's sacred and majestic body instantly dissipated, and he stood on the shore of the Lake of Life in human form.
Audrey slightly lifted the sides of her skirt and bowed to Di Tian and Bi Ji.
"Hello."
"I am the patriarch of the Spirit Dragon Clan, King Angelweid, the White Dragon."
"Or you can call me Audrey Hall."
Di Tian returned Audrey's greeting with a standard dragon greeting, a greeting taught to him by his father, the Light Dragon King.
Back in the Dragon God Realm, he had often bowed to the Dragon God and other dragon leaders.
At eighteen, he stood like a nobody.
So many years had passed in the blink of an eye, and he had become the second-in-command of the dragon clan, bearing the glory of the dragons.
And the reason he became second-in-command wasn't because of strength, but because he outlived all the other dragons, which made Di Tian feel a little sad and ironic from time to time.
Now, in the Douluo Continent, he was actually performing the dragon greeting again, and Di Tian was filled with emotion, but thankfully he hadn't forgotten the movements.
"Hello."
"I am the patriarch of the Dark Dragon Clan, King Golden-Eyed Black Dragon, Di Tian."
After seeing Di Tian complete the greeting, Bi Ji smiled gently at Audrey and said,
"I am the patriarch of the Emerald Swan Clan, just call me Bi Ji."
"Thank you for bringing the auspicious beast back to the Star Dou Great Forest."
"We've been looking for her like crazy!"
Even the usually good-tempered Brigitte glared at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
She was genuinely worried about the auspicious beast's safety; after all, she had watched it grow up.
Audrey said softly,
"This child wanted to go to the human world, and I just happened to run into her. Her ability to conceal her fate is quite good.
If I didn't know a little about detection methods, I probably wouldn't have found her."
Di Tian glanced at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, a glance that almost made the blonde girl cower and cover her head in fear.
Her mind raced; she absolutely couldn't let the topic turn to herself right now, or she'd be in for a beating with the black dragon belt! "
You're so dense, think!"
"Um, um!" "Oh, right!"
"Di Tian, let me tell you, Audrey's people are numerous!"
"They're all true dragons!"
"They live in a very peculiar place!"
"It's so beautiful there! I even met a new friend, a member of Audrey's clan!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's tactic of changing the subject was indeed effective, and it truly captured Di Tian's heart.
Di Tian had always valued information related to the dragon race.
Since the emergence of the Magic Network, he had been searching for traces of dragons on it.
He even created a bounty post, offering money for any information about dragons, regardless of its veracity.
Dream coins were never a problem for Di Tian.
Because the post was so popular, many people posted videos or discussed dragon-related knowledge in the comments.
Many of these discussions and comments directly caused Di Tian to become a "red-hot" figure!
Some said dragons have no gender and reproduce only asexually, which Di Tian replied was false.
Some said dragons were ranked by the length of their horns, which Di Tian dismissed as pure nonsense!
Some claimed that the Water Dragon King and Mountain Dragon King among the nine Dragon Kings were a married couple who created the land and sea together, which nearly made Di Tian delete the post.
Some even directly retorted, "Have you ever been a dragon? Why are you replying like this?"
In short, through these replies, Di Tian realized that there were deep misunderstandings about dragons.
To protect the reputation of dragons, Di Tian felt it necessary to popularize some basic dragon knowledge on the Magic Network.
So he started a series of videos.
This video series is called "Identifying Popular Dragon Encounters on the Magic Network."
It's currently very popular on the Magic Network, and many teachers from Soul Master Academies have started imitating it, popularizing some basic knowledge about Soul Masters or Soul Beasts.
Back in reality, Di Tian's golden eyes widened slightly, and he stammered as he looked at Audrey, saying,
"You, does your dragon clan still have any living dragons?"
Audrey's beautiful brows furrowed slightly as she said,
"Can I take this as a provocation?"
Di Tian hurriedly waved his hand, while Bi Ji, standing beside him, looked somewhat helpless and explained for Di Tian,
"You misunderstood."
"Di Tian is a bit too excited."
"The Black Dragon Clan is now down to just him, and the Hell Dragon Clan is down to just Zi Ji."
."They're called the clan leader, but in reality, he's all alone."
Fire Dragons, Water Dragons, Earth Dragons, and Mountain Dragons can no longer be found in the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Or rather, there's no trace of them left on the entire continent. "
"Now, hearing that there's still a dragon lineage continuing, he finds it hard to believe."
After Bi Ji finished speaking, Di Tian nodded, then looked at Audrey with hope in his eyes.
After understanding the situation, Audrey said to the two,
"The auspicious beast is right."
"My Spirit Dragon Clan still has members."
"Including me, there are a total of sixty-nine Spirit Dragons."
"We generally live in the dreams of living beings' subconscious."
Upon hearing the number of Spirit Dragons, both Di Tian and Bi Ji were incredibly shocked.
Although their numbers were far fewer than the Black Dragon Clan of the Dragon God Realm era,
in this era, a dragon clan with sixty-nine true dragons was, in a sense, already considered a legitimate dragon lineage.
The combined numbers of all other dragon lineages didn't even amount to a fraction of the Spirit Dragon Clan's.
After the initial shock, Di Tian's face lit up with joy.
"That's wonderful!"
"That's truly wonderful!!!"
"I always thought the dragon race had completely withered away, with only Zi Ji and I still alive."
"I never imagined there would still be a dragon clan that could successfully reproduce!"
"Truly, heaven hasn't forsaken our dragon race!"
"White King, is it?
If you need anything in the future, please contact me directly.
Although we are not of the same dragon lineage, we are all dragons."
"If needed in the future, I can do my best to help!"
Di Tian looked earnestly at the blonde, blue-eyed girl before him.
If needed in the future, he would do his utmost to help her.
Because her Spirit Dragon Clan might be the last hope for the dragon race; sixty-nine true dragons meant that their dragon clan still had the ability to reproduce.
According to the other party, the Spirit Dragons live in the dreams of the subconscious of living beings, so their safety is definitely guaranteed.
The fact that he had searched the continent for many years without finding anything is the best proof.
Audrey smiled and said,
"Thank you for your generosity."
"However, the dragon race isn't just left with us."
"As far as I know, the Earth Dragons and Mountain Dragons have merged, and the Water Dragons, Fire Dragons, and Wind Dragons have continued somewhere."
This was what Huo Yuhao had Audrey say, to give the Prison Emperor a heads-up in advance, to prevent him from causing any trouble in the future.
Moreover, with these dragons in hand, Di Tian wouldn't be able to escape.
As the strongest person on the continent in name only, he was very valuable.
He could use these new dragons to make Di Tian Huo Yuhao's chosen fourth agent, responsible for handling some affairs of the future Spirit Pagoda.
Yes, Huo Yuhao still planned to establish the Spirit Pagoda to manage soul spirits, and incidentally bring the soul beasts into the Spirit Pagoda as well.
Huo Yuhao and Di Tian were on the same page about this.
The surprise came too suddenly; Di Tian couldn't help but exude dragon might, and his voice trembled slightly.
"Really?!"
"Where are they?"
"Are there black dragons or white dragons?"
Audrey shook her head and said,
"Please calm down."
"I only learned about them in the dreams of living beings."
"I know they still exist somewhere, but I don't know exactly where."
"But we will meet again in the future."
"As for the black dragons and white dragons, I'm afraid..."
Hearing Audrey's words, Di Tian tried his best to remain calm.
"Is that so?"
"It's alright, it's good to know they still exist."
"The black dragons and white dragons, alas."
"Perhaps this is fate."
Di Tian sighed. He had known in his heart for a long time that the black dragons and white dragons were completely wiped out, and his tears had been shed hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Now, knowing that some dragons had successfully survived the great calamity and continued in some corner of the world, he was already overjoyed and dared not ask for more.
Since they still exist, there will definitely be a time when they meet again in the future; there is no need to rush.
"White King, thank you for telling me this news."
"It has finally settled a knot in my heart."
"I have no way to repay you, so please accept this as payment."
Di Tian clenched his fist tightly over the Lake of Life, and the emerald green water began to tremble! Even the surrounding mud and rocks began to shake.
The emerald green water parted to both sides of the shore, and a large piece of emerald green crystal flew out from the lake bottom, hovering in front of Audrey.
Di Tian calmed the lake, his golden eyes fixed on Audrey, and said,
"You should know about the Life Treasure, the Gold of Life."
"I can't give you the Gold of Life directly; it's still very useful to the Star Dou Great Forest."
"This is a Life Crystal that has precipitated from the Lake of Life under the influence of the Gold of Life."
"While its life force quality isn't as high as the Gold of Life, its nature is gentler, and it can be directly absorbed by the body."
"Once, a golden hawksbill turtle swallowed a large piece of the Gold of Life when I wasn't looking."
"It disappeared somewhere thanks to its luck."
"I bet that golden hawksbill turtle won't live long, because the Gold of Life is extremely domineering and will drain the life force from the body."
"Unfortunately, I still don't know where it is.
I can only wait for it to die, and for the Gold of Life to automatically release its aura before I can retrieve it."
Audrey accepted the crystal; she planned to return it to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao had been worried about how to repair the Emerald Soil recently; with this, he no longer needed to worry about its degradation.
"Now that the auspicious beast has returned to the Star Dou Great Forest, I won't linger here any longer."
"If there are any matters to discuss in the future, simply call my true name; I will hear you."
With that, colorful ripples appeared around Audrey's body, and she vanished into thin air.
Di Tian was completely baffled as to how she disappeared.
"It wasn't spatial rules."
"It was another unknown rule; it seems to be a unique talent of the Spirit Dragon Clan."
Di Tian looked thoughtfully at the spot where she had disappeared.
He hadn't heard of the Spirit Dragon Clan during the Dragon God Realm era.
However, he didn't doubt her origins, because bloodlines don't lie to dragons; the White King's bloodline was pure Dragon King blood.
Moreover, during the Dragon God Realm era, the dragon race was incredibly diverse; no dragon could recognize them all.
Besides the nine major dragon lineages, it wasn't impossible for a Dragon King bloodline to have emerged.
"Hahaha!"
"Looks like I'm not alone."
"I still have brethren!"
"There are still dragons alive!"
