Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
============================
Na'er turned her head to look at Gu Yue beside her, who had a serious expression, but a hint of vigilance quietly welled up in her silver eyes.
She and Gu Yue originated from the same source; both were Avatars of the Silver Dragon King, essentially two sides of the same coin.
But Na'er had to admit that ever since they split from the Silver Dragon King's body, Gu Yue had always been the dominant one.
After all, she only obtained one-third of the Silver Dragon King's power, and it was the Silver Dragon King's weaker physical body power at that.
So, regardless of the matter, it was basically Gu Yue who made the decisions.
It was only now, after she had completed the Fusion of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline and her strength had greatly increased, that the gap between her and Gu Yue was no longer as wide as before, causing Gu Yue to value her a bit more.
Yet even so, Gu Yue was currently speaking in such a slightly "imploring" tone, which Na'er felt was wrong no matter how she thought about it.
Na'er might have been vigilant in her heart, but on the surface, she put on a generous and bold appearance, laughing, "Do we really need to be so polite with each other?"
After saying this, she still couldn't hold back, leaning in slightly and lowering her voice, her tone filled with a bit more caution: "So... what exactly is it?"
The lake-like calmness in Gu Yue's purple eyes seemed to be ruffled by a gentle breeze. She was silent for a few breaths before saying, "I want to use the Dragon God's power."
Na'er's silver eyes widened abruptly, and she immediately cried out, "What? Are you crazy?!"
Her voice echoed in the vast space of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, repeatedly refracted by the roar of layers of mysterious ice and lava waterfalls, sounding increasingly sharp and piercing.
After shouting this, she seemed to feel it wasn't enough, stepping forward to press closer to Gu Yue. The playfulness and caution from before completely faded, replaced by a rarely seen serious expression.
"Right now, the Golden Dragon King Bloodline power in my body is incomplete, and the Silver Dragon King power in your body is only more than half; both powers are incomplete, they are both fragmentary!"
"Forcibly attempting a Fusion to use the Dragon God's power is a huge burden for both of us. If we are not careful, we will both be severely injured! Don't you understand this principle?"
At this moment, Na'er's face was taut like a bowstring, her long silver hair moving without wind, her aura imposing; she was like a completely different person from the careless, heartless little girl she usually was.
It used to be Gu Yue who would pull a long face and lecture Na'er on being insensible, but today, it was completely reversed.
Gu Yue listened quietly to her questioning without refuting it, nor did she get angry.
After a moment of silence, Gu Yue just said softly, "What you said is correct."
Her expression was so calm that Na'er's heart trembled; it was not the calmness of being convinced, but the calmness of someone who knew they were in the wrong yet insisted on going their own way.
Gu Yue took a deep breath, her voice very soft, as if she were weighing the heaviness of every word: "The Fusion won't last too long; I just want to take out the remains of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King..."
Speaking up to here, she suddenly fell silent again.
When she raised her eyes to look at Na'er again, her gaze actually dodged, not daring to look directly, as if she had done something shameful.
Then she continued: "Although the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King have been dead for a long time, they are, after all, Dragon bodies."
"Just a trace of the Dragon God's power is enough to induce them to condense an external Spirit Bone."
Na'er subconsciously repeated these four words, her lips moving, her voice so soft it was almost a murmur: "External Spirit Bone..."
Then she raised her eyes, her gaze sharply locking onto Gu Yue; there was no need to ask anything more.
She and Gu Yue were essentially Spirit Beast transformations; they had absolutely no need for Spirit Souls or Spirit Bones.
Therefore, the only person who could make Gu Yue go to such great lengths and use the Dragon God's power to fuse a Spirit Bone was one person.
Na'er's expression darkened: "Don't forget your identity."
Gu Yue did not speak. Na'er took a step forward, her voice becoming increasingly heavy: "And don't forget... your mission."
Gu Yue raised her eyes, meeting Na'er's gaze. This time, there was no dodging or hesitation in her eyes.
Her voice was solemn and steady: "I naturally will not forget; I have been preparing for the plan to lead the Soul Beast Clan to revival for Ten Thousand Years."
Hearing this, Na'er couldn't help but snort: "I think right now, your whole heart is focused on Huo Yuhao."
Gu Yue shook her head: "Yuhao is different. He has no hostility towards Spirit Beasts, as you know."
"Our plan was never to annihilate humanity, and there might be opportunities for cooperation with him in the future."
"Yuhao is a person who values relationships and righteousness; the current investment will receive a corresponding return in the future."
Na'er fell silent; she had to admit that what Gu Yue said was not entirely unreasonable. But in her heart, she still did not approve of Gu Yue's decision.
She looked at Gu Yue's determined eyes and knew she could no longer stop her.
If Gu Yue used force, she, as a Avatar, would have no room to resist.
So she could only stand where she was, the corners of her mouth curling into an arc that could not be described as helpless or sarcastic, her voice carrying a deliberately drawn-out tone.
"Then we can only hope... that the seduction plan carried out by the Silver Dragon King, whom we want to leverage favor for repayment, will work."
Gu Yue was accurately poked in a certain nerve by this sentence, and a faint blush suddenly appeared on her fair cheeks.
She shot a quick glance at Na'er, her gaze so fierce it seemed as if it could carve off a piece of meat, but paired with that slightly reddened face, its lethality was discounted by more than half.
She did not dwell on this topic, just straightened her face, her tone returning to its usual seriousness and decisiveness: "Let's begin."
As her voice fell, she no longer paid attention to the meaningful arc at the corner of Na'er's mouth, and the aura around her body suddenly changed.
A pure silver radiance surged out from her body, like moonlight condensed into liquid gauze, flowing slowly around her.
Immediately after, at the edge of that silver light, a circle of seven-colored light suddenly erupted.
The seven-colored radiance spread outward in layers, each color corresponding to a completely different elemental fluctuation, yet under the governance of the silver light, they intertwined perfectly without any conflict or stagnation.
Na'er, on the side, put away the teasing expression on her face and shook her head helplessly. She took a deep breath, and the moment her silver eyes closed and opened again, they had turned into a pair of brilliant golden vertical pupils, and a domineering and tyrannical golden light burst out from her body.
Previously, by the lake of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the two had relied on the power of the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King to instantly "subdue" the two Dragon Souls of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King.
At that time, the two forces did not even need them to deliberately control them; just by naturally coming into contact in the air, there were already faint signs of mutual attraction and blending.
And now, under the conscious and active control of Gu Yue and Na'er, the two energies truly began to Fusion.
The Fusion process was incomparably smooth, like two meticulously polished gears interlocking precisely. The moment the two forces blended was almost done in one go, as if they were always meant to be together.
At this moment, the gold and silver disappeared simultaneously, replaced by a nine-colored light. The light was neither as mysterious and introverted as the Silver Dragon King, nor as domineering and flamboyant as the Golden Dragon King, but a kind of indescribable grandeur. As grand as the firmament, as the galaxy, as the first ray of light that divided Chaos when heaven and earth first opened.
As the leader of the Fusion, Gu Yue was full of solemnity between her brows and eyes. Her right palm was facing upward, index and middle fingers together, and she gently beckoned toward the World of ice and fire intertwined ahead.
It was just such an understated gesture that the ground in front shook violently, countless ice crystals fell from the dome with a rustle, and the lava in the lava lake raised waves several zhang high.
At the violently shaking junction of ice and fire, two massive shadows hundreds of meters long slowly rose from the mysterious ice and lava bit by bit.
Those were Dragon bones, a Dragon body with only ghastly white bones left, each bone as thick as a pillar supporting the sky; the connections between the joints had long been worn away of flesh and tendons by time, yet they still maintained their posture from before they died.
The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, even though they had fallen for hundreds of thousands of years, even though only white bones remained, that majesty and solemnity belonging to the Dragon Kings had not yet dissipated.
Gu Yue looked up at the two slowly rising Dragon bones, her purple eyes churning with extremely complex emotions.
She sighed softly: "The deceased have passed; let them dissipate into the long river of time."
Her voice was very soft, but it seemed to carry a certain irresistible Law power. The moment her voice fell, the ice-blue and fire-red Dragon bones trembled slightly at the same time.
Then, they began to dissipate, like weathered sand grains brushed by an invisible breeze, starting from the outline of the bones, bit by bit turning into countless starlike points of light.
In the end, the two towering Dragon King remains completely dissipated into the air, leaving not a trace behind.
And at the core where the points of light gradually dimmed, a small scale fell silently.
Without deviation, it fell exactly into Gu Yue's open palm.
