Chapter 465 Encirclement and Suppression of the Silver Dragon King?
Spirit world.
The sea of clouds stretched endlessly, and divine light shone brightly.
Here, there is no alternation of day and night like in the mortal world, nor the wind, rain, heat, and cold of the world. Between heaven and earth flows divine power of utmost purity. Golden divine light spreads across the sky, and silvery-white celestial mist slowly flows between the divine mountains. Divine palaces float above the clouds, like ancient and eternal stars.
In the center of the divine realm stands a magnificent temple—the Divine Realm Committee.
This temple was not forged from mortal gold and stone, but rather condensed from the laws of the divine realm. The pillars of the temple stood like pillars supporting the sky, their surfaces engraved with countless ancient divine runes, each rune representing a line of divine order.
Above the palace roof, divine light transformed into the sun, moon, and stars, slowly rotating.
On this day, the sea of clouds outside the Divine Realm Committee suddenly surged violently.
A blood-red sword light shot up from the distant temple, piercing through the nine layers of divine clouds.
The sword light was too sharp.
Its appearance immediately silenced the entire center of the divine realm.
Countless priests, hunters, and divine messengers looked up, their eyes filled with surprise and doubt.
"The Asura Demon Sword?"
"Have the enforcers of the divine realm been alerted?"
"What happened?"
A crimson divine light stretched across the sky.
The next moment, a figure arrived riding on a blood-red divine rainbow. He was clad in dark red divine armor, his eyes were cold, and the Asura Divine Sword floated behind him, with terrifying killing laws gathering around him.
Asura God, the enforcer of the divine realm.
His gaze pierced through the gates of the Divine Realm Council, and he said in an icy voice:
"Convene the Divine Realm Committee."
"immediately."
The sound resounded throughout the central realm of the gods.
A moment later, the five God-Kings gathered at the Divine Realm Committee.
In the center of the main hall is a circular altar.
On the altar, five divine thrones stand in the five directions respectively.
On the Eastern throne, the Asura God sat upright, his blood-red divine light descending like a river of swords, chilling and deadly.
On the southern throne, the God of Destruction was surrounded by purple-black lightning. His deep purple eyes seemed to contain the end of all things. The Scepter of Destruction stood beside him, and with each flash, it caused space to slightly distort.
On the throne of the Western God, the Evil God King appeared languid, with black and white divine light slowly swirling behind him. He was neither as sharp as Asura nor as oppressive as Destruction; he merely lowered his eyelids, a half-smile playing on his lips, as if nothing in the world could truly move him.
On the northern throne, the Goddess of Life had long, emerald-green hair, and her body radiated a gentle, warm light of life. Her aura was the complete opposite of that of the God of Destruction; it was like a spring breeze, like an ancient tree, like the first breath of all living things.
The central throne belongs to the Goddess of Kindness. Her expression is serene, her entire body is enveloped in a platinum-gold divine radiance, and her eyes are clear, yet she possesses an inviolable majesty.
The five great god-kings gathered together.
The entire Divine Realm Committee fell silent at that moment.
The God of Kindness looked at the God of Asura and said softly:
"Shura, why are you in such a hurry to convene a committee meeting? What happened?"
The Asura God didn't beat around the bush.
He raised his hand and waved.
Crimson divine light condensed in the center of the altar, transforming into a blurry image.
The scene depicts the Douluo Continent.
Starry Sky Forest.
However, the image was not clear, as if it were obscured by countless mists, and only a wisp of silver light could be vaguely seen flashing by deep in the forest.
But the moment that ray of silver light appeared, the God of Destruction's gaze suddenly froze.
The goddess of life also frowned slightly.
The evil god king's previously lazy expression finally showed a hint of interest.
The God of Kindness looked at the ray of silver light, and his expression became solemn.
The Asura God said in a deep voice:
"In the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest in Douluo Continent, a trace of the silver dragon's aura has appeared."
These words were spoken.
Inside the Divine Realm Committee, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Silver Dragon.
These two words are never ordinary names in the divine realm. They represent the other half of the Dragon God's origin that fled the divine realm after the Dragon God War, and also represent the hidden danger that the divine realm has never completely resolved over the years.
The God of Destruction slowly grasped the Scepter of Destruction beside him, purple-black lightning crackling in his palm, and said:
Are you sure?
The God of Asura nodded and said:
Not entirely certain.
"The aura appeared for a very short time and was forcibly concealed. But the elemental fluctuations and the remnants of the Dragon God's essence at that moment were extremely similar to the Silver Dragon recorded back then."
The God of Destruction said coldly:
"Since they are similar, that's enough."
"If that silver dragon is truly hiding in Douluo Continent, then it is the greatest hidden danger to the God Realm."
"The chaos caused by the Dragon God nearly caused the collapse of the God Realm. The Golden Dragon King was sealed deep within the God Realm. If the Silver Dragon were to recover in the mortal realm, the consequences would be unimaginable once it fully recovers."
The Asura God nodded and said in a deep voice:
"My suggestion is to immediately descend to the mortal realm to investigate. If the existence of that silver dragon is confirmed, then immediately seal off the Douluo Continent and mobilize the power of the God Realm to suppress and kill it."
The goddess of life frowned slightly and reminded her:
"Shura, gods cannot arbitrarily interfere with the lower realm; this is the order of the divine realm. There are already several inheritors of divine positions in Douluo Continent, including the Sea God, the Angel God, and the Rakshasa God. If we rashly send high-ranking gods down, it will only cause further turmoil in the lower realm."
The God of Destruction looked at the Goddess of Life and said in a deep voice:
"Life, this is no ordinary anomaly in the lower realms."
"That might be the other half of the Dragon God—the Silver Dragon."
The goddess of life said calmly:
"Precisely because it might be a silver dragon, we must be even more cautious."
"We are not certain that she is really there yet. To directly interfere with the lower realm and even seal off the entire Douluo Continent based on just a faint trace of her presence is far too radical."
The Asura God said coldly:
"By the time it's confirmed, it might be too late."
The God of Kindness gently raised his hand, signaling the other gods to calm down.
She looked at the God of Asura and said:
"Besides the aura of the Silver Dragon King, are there any other anomalies on the Douluo Continent?"
The Asura God's eyes narrowed slightly, and he waved his hand again.
The scene in the center of the altar changes.
This time, what appeared was a gray-green death aura.
The aura of a Rakshasa.
There was also the chaotic aura of oceanic divine power, angelic holy light, necromantic fluctuations, and remnants of the Soul Guidance War.
Asura God Path:
"The divine power fluctuations in the Douluo Continent have been extremely chaotic recently."
"The new sea god has completed the succession to his divine position."
"The angels have also returned to their places."
"The inheritors of the Rakshasa God have also become gods, but they have not yet ascended to the realm of gods."
The God of Kindness frowned slightly and asked in confusion:
"The inheritors of the three deities did not ascend to immortality?"
A hint of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the Goddess of Life.
"If a god remains in the mortal realm after becoming a god, it is easy to cause disorder in the mortal realm."
"If we were to use divine power to intervene in mortal wars, we would be overstepping our bounds."
The Asura God said in a deep voice:
"This is also why I convened the committee. Douluo Continent is no longer normal. The Sea God, the Angel God, and the Rakshasa God are all staying in the mortal realm at the same time, and now the aura of a silver dragon is suspected to have appeared."
"If this isn't dealt with soon, it will inevitably lead to disaster."
The God of Destruction lightly tapped his scepter beside his throne, a flash of purplish-black lightning disappearing in an instant, and said:
"It is indeed illogical for the sea god, the angel god, and the Rakshasa god to all reside in the mortal realm at the same time."
"But from another perspective, this may not be all bad."
The god of kindness looked at him.
"Destruction, you mean?"
The God of Destruction said calmly:
"Since the Silver Dragon is suspected to have appeared on Douluo Continent, and there happen to be three deities residing there at the moment, let them handle it."
Upon hearing this, the goddess of life frowned slightly.
The evil god-king revealed a hint of amusement.
"Should we send the three gods of the lower realm to deal with the silver dragon?"
God of Destruction:
"good."
"The divine realm cannot interfere with the mortal realm at will; this is the rule."
"But the Sea God, the Angel God, and the Rakshasa God are already in the Douluo Continent. Although they have not returned to the God Realm, they have already inherited their godhood and possess god-level power."
"If the Silver Dragon is truly in Douluo Continent, it will be the greatest hidden danger in the lower realm."
"It is reasonable to let the gods of the lower realm deal with the hidden dangers in the lower realm."
A slight glint of bloodlust flickered in the eyes of the Asura God.
Clearly, he also agreed with the God of Destruction's statement.
"This method is feasible."
"The divine realm need not descend in a large force, nor immediately tear apart the laws of the lower realm. It is sufficient to issue a divine decree, ordering the sea god, the angel god, and the rakshasa god to investigate the source of the silver dragon's aura."
"If the existence of the Silver Dragon King is confirmed, they will join forces to suppress him."
The displeasure in the eyes of the goddess of life deepened.
"You make it sound so easy."
"The Silver Dragon is, after all, the other half of the Dragon God's original essence after its split. If she is really hiding in Douluo Continent, even if she is still seriously injured, she is by no means someone that an ordinary first-level god can easily deal with."
"Isn't it too risky to send a newly ascended god from the lower realms to deal with her?"
The God of Destruction said coldly:
"adventure?"
"Now that they have become gods, they should assume the responsibilities of gods."
"Divine status is not glory, but part of the order."
"The sea god rules over the ocean, the angel god rules over the judgment of light, and although the Rakshasa god is an evil deity, he is still bound by the laws of the divine realm. The silver dragons have been a hidden danger wanted by the divine realm for countless years. If they are gods, but are unwilling to assist the divine realm in dealing with them, that is the real problem."
The God of Kindness whispered:
"Although they are still in the lower realm, each of them is deeply involved with the Douluo Continent. If we rashly order them to besiege the Silver Dragon, it is very likely to cause further turmoil in the lower realm."
"The Star Dou Great Forest is the largest gathering place for soul beasts on the Douluo Continent. Once a great war breaks out, countless lives will be lost."
The Asura God coldly said:
"Kindness, you should know that if the Silver Dragon King were to recover to his peak, it wouldn't just be the creatures of the lower realms who would die. During the Dragon God War, the entire God Realm nearly collapsed."
"Such hidden dangers cannot be ignored out of momentary leniency."
The evil god-king leaned back on his throne, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest.
He suddenly smiled and said:
"Actually, what you're arguing about isn't whether to investigate or not, but who should investigate. Shura and Destruction want to use the three gods of the lower realm to take action, so as not to break the rules of the divine realm, and at the same time use them to test the Silver Dragon's strength."
"Life and goodness are worried that if they rashly apply pressure, the gods of the lower realm will become a weapon in the hands of the gods, which will intensify the conflict. But I think it's not that difficult."
The Asura God looked at him.
What are your suggestions?
The Evil God King said calmly:
"Send hunters down to the mortal realm."
"But the hunters aren't there to investigate the sea god, the angel god, or the Rakshasa god; their mission is to confirm the aura of the silver dragon."
"If the Silver Dragon King does indeed exist, the Hunter will convey the divine decree of the Divine Realm Committee to the three gods of the lower realm. The Sea God, the Angel God, and the Rakshasa God will be ordered to jointly handle the matter of the Silver Dragon King."
"In this way, the divine realm did not directly descend and interfere with the lower realm."
"The three gods of the lower realm now have a legitimate reason to take action."
The God of Destruction nodded.
"Can."
"The hunters are only responsible for confirming and relaying orders."
"The ones who actually made the move were the three gods who were already on the Douluo Continent."
The Asura God said in a deep voice:
"What if the three gods refuse?"
The evil god-king's smile deepened.
"That means the problem is even bigger. The divine decree has been passed down that if they refuse to cooperate, it would be tantamount to openly defying the Divine Council. We can discuss the trial then."
The Goddess of Life coldly glanced at the Evil God King.
"You're setting them up."
The evil god-king shrugged.
"I'm just suggesting the method that best conforms to the rules of the divine realm."
"Sending a god down to the mortal realm, you say it's too much interference."
"If we don't investigate, you'll say the Silver Dragon King is dangerous again."
"Then send out hunters to confirm, and then enlist the help of the three gods of the lower realm to handle it."
"Isn't this a perfect compromise?"
The goddess of life did not answer immediately.
She knew that this was indeed a compromise.
Yet she still felt uneasy, especially about the sea god. The young man who had just inherited the position of sea god was not like the law-abiding new gods of the past.
The Goddess of Life once saw Tang Chuan from afar in the divine realm. He possessed the divine power of the Sea God, the life aura of the Blue Silver Emperor, and an extremely special life path.
That was not a purely human deity.
It is not a soul beast in the traditional sense.
He is somewhere in between.
If the divine realm were to forcibly order him to besiege the Silver Dragon King at this moment, what would he choose?
The goddess of life is uncertain.
The god of kindness saw the goddess of life's worry and slowly said:
"If a hunter is to be sent down to the mortal realm, the wording of the oracle must be carefully considered."
"We cannot directly order the three gods to besiege the Silver Dragon King."
"We can only ask them to cooperate in investigating the source of the Silver Dragon's aura. If the existence of the Silver Dragon King is confirmed, we should first suppress the news, stabilize the situation in the lower realm, and then report back to the Divine Realm Committee."
The God of Destruction frowned.
"That's too slow."
The Asura God also said:
"If the Silver Dragon King is really in Douluo Continent, delaying him will give her a chance to recover."
The God of Kindness looked at the two of them, his voice still gentle, but with a touch more majesty.
"If you insist that the three gods of the lower realm immediately besiege the Silver Dragon King, then it will no longer be an investigation, but a war. Once the war starts, the Star Dou Great Forest will surely be in chaos."
"Douluo Continent now possesses the divine power of three gods: the Sea God, the Angel God, and the Rakshasa God. Add to that the Silver Dragon King, and if a full-scale war breaks out, can the lower realm withstand it?"
"Do you want to investigate potential hazards, or do you want to destroy that dimension altogether?"
The God of Destruction remained silent for a moment.
Although he was radical, he was not stupid. After all, Douluo Continent was one of the important subordinate planes of the God Realm. If the war between gods in the lower realms got out of control, the entire plane would probably suffer heavy damage.
Meanwhile, deep within the ominous land, the Lake of Life flows quietly.
The lake water was as blue as jade, with a thin layer of mist covering its surface. Moonlight spilled onto it, like shattered silver scattered across the lake. However, compared to usual, this forbidden land, which should have been teeming with life, now had a desolate air of brokenness.
Dozens of ancient trees along the lake have collapsed, and there are still scorched marks on the soil on the shore.
Although Tang Chuan had purified most of the Rakshasa death energy with the light of the sea god and the life force of the Blue Silver Emperor, a trace of cold and decaying smell still lingered in the air.
Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier walked side by side to the Lake of Life, while Di Tian, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, Zi Ji, Wan Yao Wang, and Chi Wang all stopped behind them and did not approach any further.
This is the true core of the Star Dou Great Forest.
It is also the place where the Silver Dragon King sleeps.
Suddenly, a silver ripple spread across the lake's surface, and a ray of silver light rose from its center, like a bridge formed from moonlight, slowly unfolding across the lake and landing at Tang Chuan's feet. (End of Chapter)
