Deep within Dragon Valley.
"Your Majesty, your origin... is incomplete." The Mountain Dragon King's voice rang out, carrying a few degrees of worry.
Gu Yue nodded slightly, her gaze calm as still water: "I know."
As the Silver Dragon King, she naturally knew of the incompleteness of the origin power within her body.
Although the Seven Dragon Kings were only residual souls, they could still sense the incomplete origin within Gu Yue.
"Na'er..." Xu Xiaoyan called softly, her eyes full of concern.
Na'er turned her head, revealing a faint smile: "Xiaoyan, I'm fine."
As a part split from the Silver Dragon King, she had long known that this day would come sooner or later.
"Gu Yue."
Fang Yang's deep voice rang out.
"Alright."
Gu Yue nodded slightly, her pale hand rising lightly.
The Dragon God Core bloomed with brilliant nine-colored light in her palm, illuminating the entire Dragon Valley like a dream.
As the light flowed, it seemed as if countless dragon shadows were swimming within it.
Na'er only felt the Silver Dragon King's origin within her body slowly flowing away, like a stream merging into the ocean.
Unexpectedly, her figure did not dissipate along with it. Instead, under the shroud of the Dragon God Core's nine-colored light, she maintained her complete form.
"What is happening to me?"
Na'er looked toward Gu Yue, her eyes carrying confusion and bewilderment.
Gu Yue's Dragon God Core continuously bloomed with nine-colored radiance. That light was like living silk threads, weaving around Na'er's body, maintaining her existence.
Each ray of light contained the origin power of the Dragon God. Under the protection of this power, even with the separation of origins, Na'er's physical form would not collapse.
"Your Majesty, this..." The Mountain Dragon King hesitated to speak.
The Light Dragon King shook his head lightly, stopping him from continuing.
The residual souls of the Seven Dragon Kings quietly watched this scene in the void, complex light flashing through their dragon eyes.
Just at this moment, Fang Yang grunted softly, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
He condensed all the Golden Dragon King bloodline within his body into a single point, and a brilliant Golden Dragon King divine core slowly emerged, suspended in mid-air.
"Boom—!"
A terrifying dragon race pressure instantly enveloped the entire Dragon Valley, even causing the buried dragon remains underground to tremble.
"Golden Dragon King origin?!"
The residual souls of the Seven Dragon Kings shook simultaneously, staring incredulously at that divine core emitting pure Golden Dragon power.
The purity of this power was such that even these former Dragon Kings felt their hearts tremble.
Fang Yang wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, speaking softly: "Go."
The Golden Dragon King divine core slowly floated toward Na'er, finally merging into her body.
The moment the divine core entered her body, dazzling golden light burst forth from around Na'er, interweaving with the Dragon God Core's nine-colored radiance.
Gu Yue withdrew the Dragon God Core's power, and the nine-colored light gradually faded.
Na'er closed her eyes and concentrated, feeling the transformation occurring within her body. The Golden Dragon King divine core slowly fused within her, and her appearance also underwent wondrous changes.
Her originally silver hair gradually took on a platinum luster.
Her pair of purple eyes transformed into heterochromia—her left eye becoming deep purple-red, her right eye turning golden-red, like the sun and moon shining together.
She slowly opened her eyes, and her heterochromatic pupils flowed with gold and silver light.
Her entire person emitted an unprecedented terrifying pressure, even causing the surrounding space to distort.
Gu Yue looked at Na'er, a flash of complexity passing through her eyes: "From now on, you are complete."
"Gu Yue, then you..." Na'er hesitated to speak.
She could feel that the invisible connection between herself and Gu Yue had been completely severed.
"I used the Dragon God Core's power to maintain your existence, and Fang Yang gave you the Golden Dragon King divine core to fuse." Gu Yue's voice was calm as water, "Now, you are independent. The thirty percent of power within you that belonged to me has also returned to my body."
She raised her head slightly, her gaze seeming to penetrate Dragon Valley, looking toward the distant sky: "Now, I am the Perfect Dragon, sufficient to judge the remaining gods."
In the next moment, brilliant silver light bloomed from within her body.
Gu Yue's black hair transformed into flowing silver, her black eyes turning into crystalline purple.
She was like a celestial fairy descended to the mortal world—silver hair like a waterfall, purple eyes like stars. That flawless countenance made people hold their breath.
"I am Gu Yuena."
Gu Yuena spoke softly, her voice like the music of heaven.
Fang Yang gazed at Gu Yue who had undergone such changes, momentarily losing himself in the sight. She was surpassingly beautiful, beyond description.
Seeing Fang Yang's dazed appearance, the corner of Gu Yuena's lips curved upward, revealing a faint smile.
"Brother, are you alright?" Na'er walked to Fang Yang's side, asking with concern.
Gu Yuena and Xu Xiaoyan also looked toward Fang Yang simultaneously.
"Rest assured, I'm fine."
Fang Yang shook his head, his gaze sweeping across the three of them, "With my current strength, I no longer need the Golden Dragon King divine core."
"That's good then."
Gu Yuena responded softly, a flash of relief passing through her eyes.
The nine-colored auspicious light in the sky above Dragon Valley gradually dispersed, and the residual souls of the Seven Dragon Kings bowed their heads together, paying homage to the Golden Dragon King Na'er.
"By the way, Mountain Dragon King, how much strength can you still exert now?" Gu Yuena asked, her gaze sweeping across the residual souls of the Seven Dragon Kings.
"This..."
Hearing this, the Mountain Dragon King hesitated.
Behind him, the Light Dragon King, Dark Dragon King, and the other Dragon Kings also fell silent, stammering and not daring to speak.
"Your Majesty, our current strength is less than one-tenth of what it once was..."
In the end, it was still the leading Mountain Dragon King who lowered his head in shame, his voice growing smaller and smaller.
Thinking back to when they dominated heaven and earth, how majestic they were—now they couldn't even maintain their complete forms.
"It matters not. After all, you are merely residual souls."
Gu Yuena's tone was peaceful, "To have preserved your consciousness is already rare."
"Thank you for Your Majesty's understanding." The Mountain Dragon King and the other dragons spoke in unison, gratitude flowing through their dragon eyes.
"Fang Yang, Xiaoyan, do you need soul bones?" Gu Yuena's gaze turned toward Fang Yang and Xu Xiaoyan.
"This..."
Xu Xiaoyan was too embarrassed to speak, yet her gaze unconsciously glanced toward those dragon remains emitting powerful fluctuations.
These were true dragon soul bones left behind by genuine god-level dragon race beings—treasures that any soul master would dream of.
"Give Xiaoyan the Time Dragon King's and Space Dragon King's left and right arm soul bones." Fang Yang spoke on her behalf.
He knew the characteristics of Xu Xiaoyan's martial soul. If she could fuse these two supreme attribute soul bones, her strength would surely undergo a qualitative leap.
"Alright."
Gu Yuena nodded, her gaze turning toward the Mountain Dragon King and the other dragons.
The Time Dragon King and Space Dragon King exchanged glances, nodding simultaneously.
In the next moment, from among the seven dragon remains, two soul bones flew over.
One emitted silver radiance, the surrounding space twisting slightly.
The other flowed with pale blue halo, time seeming to slow around it.
The two soul bones slowly landed before Xu Xiaoyan, emitting heart-trembling power fluctuations.
Xu Xiaoyan carefully received the soul bones, her eyes full of surprise: "Thank you, Sister Gu Yue. Thank you, Dragon King seniors."
Gu Yuena nodded slightly.
