Dragon King Of Apocalypse (Douluo Dalu 3) - Chapter 426
It didn’t take long for Ye Xinglan to summarize to Tang Wulin everything that happened while he was gone.
From the time that the Mortuus and Arkadians invaded the Douluo realm while he and the others were in the abyssal realm.
To even the time he was in the Rivers Of Time and them attacking the abyssal realm.
The others would speak up to provide further information. But they knew that wasn’t the intended purpose of their talk.
In a way, it was just them taking the time to enjoy themselves together.
Occasionally Tang Wulin would ask some questions, not really about the event. But on how they felt when it happened, which they tried their best to describe.
Tang Wulin didn’t say anything, content on just listening and giving any advice he could.
Once they were done, Tang Wulin started to speak more about the Realm in Body to them. He figured they wanted to know the exact experience he underwent, including the pain he went through.
And so he did. He told them about how he came up with the idea of the Realm in Body and asked Yggdrasil if it was possible.
He also mentioned to them how he exactly gained Yggdrasil and how it was back in the Demon Island.
All of them asked him a bunch of questions, which he answered clearly.
Then he continued by telling them how she appeared in front of him after he was done absorbing the life and destruction energy.
With her requesting to be his spirit soul because with him, there was a significant chance of regaining her original strength.
Which lead all of them to pause before they all nodded their head. Looking at the current situation now, Yggdrasil was right to trust in Tang Wulin.
“Now that I think about it… She got far more than she bargained for.”Wu Siduo tilted her head in thought.” Not only did she regain her original strength but now have the protection of a higher-level being.”
“… True. Did she looks at your future to see you were the right choice?”
Mu Xi asked after a bit of thinking while the others also wondered as well. From what Tang Wulin told them, Yggdrasil could see the future.
Wouldn’t it make sense that she saw his future and saw he would be the best choice in terms of a master?
“Sorry, girls but I couldn’t see his future.”
Yggdrasil’s voice rang out, causing the girls to blink their eyes, as they saw her appearing on Tang Wulin’s shoulder.
“Cute!”
Xu Xiaoyan’s eyes shined as she moved her arms, snatching Yggdrasil from Tang Wulin’s shoulder, and began hugging her tightly.
Ye Xinglan had a faint smile at Xu Xiaoyan cuddling with the small Yggdrasil before she spoke up.”You said you couldn’t see his future, was there a reason for that?”
“I am not certain of the reason,” Yggdrasil answered after she had got Xu Xiaoyan to stop hugging her. “Tang Wulin fate seems to be unreadable by even me, it’s like his future isn’t something that can be seen.
“Maybe it’s because he was destined to become a 7-dimensional being?”
Mu Xi spoke up, she considered it might have been fate for Wulin to be the only one to survive the Realm in Body.
Something that no one has ever succeeded in, yet he did it. Even with the Universal Law trying to kill him.
“No. If that was the case, then his fate would have been blurry and hidden by a fog. But Tang Wulin’s fate is blank, all I can see is a blank void as if he doesn’t exist in the future, yet he does exist.”
“I see.”
Mu Xi fell silent but her gaze was on Tang Wulin who hasn’t said anything or offered an explanation.
Truthfully she wanted to grill him for some answers. As she didn’t believe for a second that he wouldn’t at the very least have an idea on why this was the case.
But she knew it was meaningless to try and force him to answer something he doesn’t want to talk about.
‘Damn his stubbornness.’
It was then that Tang Wulin continued speaking, starting with his first breakthrough for the realm in body.
This made them all fall silent, all of them listening very closely.
Their faces scrunched up when he talked about the Universal Law attack but they didn’t say anything.
None of them said anything as Tang Wulin went through all of his Realm In Body experience.
Occasionally their expression would change on the horrifying matter, such as Tang Wulin mind-shattering.
But they still kept quiet, and after a bit, he was finally done with his story.
They didn’t say anything for a while in the garden, Tang Wulin didn’t comment either as he glanced at each of them.
He saw all of them were deep in thought as if they were trying to come to terms.
The silence in the garden was broken by a sigh from Gu Yuena.
“I need to go check over the soul beasts. I will be back. Come along with me Na’er.”
“Ugh… Fine.”
It wasn’t just Gu Yuena and Na’er who left but the others as well. Each of them also had a similar excuse of leaving, leaving Tang Wulin and Xu Xiaoyan in the garden.
“Those girls… They sure aren’t honest.”
“Hehe, you noticed as well?” Xu Xiaoyan gave Tang Wulin a beaming smile causing Tang Wulin to smile. “Yeah, their words and action might say something else… But the determination in their eyes was something else.”
“Right?… So Wulin, try not to do everything okay?”
Tang Wulin was slightly surprised.
He expected this to come from one of them but for Xu Xiaoyan to be the one to tell him? Now, this caught him off guard, which Xu Xiaoyan noticed as she moved closer to him, sitting down next to him.
“I can’t speak fully for the others, but I dislike it when you take everything all on your own.” Xu Xiaoyan placed her hand on Tang Wulin cheek.” Doing something dangerous? Go ahead, I know it’s your thing and you know your limit. Doing something crazy? It’s fine if you do, I know you won’t do something you don’t believe you can accomplish.”
“But trying to do everything alone? I can’t allow that, let me, no let us aid you. For this upcoming fight, go deal with Typhoon and let us take care of the other Gods.”
“… Even though there will be a siege of a lot of them?”
“Even if there will be many of them, trust us to keep our home safe while you finish off Typhoon. At the very least, it’s the only thing we can do.”
“You know you’re asking me to believe that you guys can withstand the assault that may contain over a hundred thousand Gods… Right?”
“I know.”
“…And what you’re asking me to do, is trust you guys to make it through all of that?”
“Yep~”
Tang Wulin saw the beaming smile on Xu Xiaoyan’s face but what caught his attention the most was her eyes.
It had unwavering confidence as if she truly believed she and the others could withstand the assault of the gods.
Even when she heard the number was over 100,000, her eyes didn’t waver, the confidence was still present.
“Fine, I will leave the gods to you guys.” Tang Wulin didn’t question her anymore, if she believed she could then he would trust her completely.
“Hehe.”
Xu Xiaoyan threw herself over to Tang Wulin who began to shake his head as she laughed delightedly in his embrace.
He then titled his head before moving down, promptly capturing her lips. Xu Xiaoyan trembled in delight as her arms tighten around Tang Wulin’s neck.
As they parted, Tang Wulin eyes drifted to the God Star core in his hand which began to shine serenely with nine-colors.
In the next instant, the Light Dragon King appeared in front of him and Xu Xiaoyan.
He was kneeling in front of them, head lowered but both he and Xu Xiaoyan could see the dragon’s expression.
Or more specifically, the tears that were streaming down his face.
“Thank you, father… Thank you so much.”
“I am guessing you guys have already felt the changes?”
“We have… We heard your words about breaking the curse. But if that wasn’t enough, you made our realm as the foundation for the God Star… You have done so much for us.”
The Light Dragon King was truly moved by Tang Wulin’s actions.
By making the Dragon Graveyard the foundation of the God Star, the dragons inside have been gradually restoring themselves.
All of the dragons that were around the Title Douluo level were regaining their lost strength. Which allowed them to start the process of refusing with their dragon bone that has stayed in the dragon graveyards.
For so many years but remained untouched.
It wasn’t just them but all of the other dragons were beginning this process. Even the Dragon Kings themselves were starting to regain their original strength.
It wouldn’t take long before they could fully be fused with their dragon bones and then God Position.
They didn’t need to worry about the humans halting them from making a God Position. Since they heard who would be the master of the realm.
With Gu Yuena and Na’er who was the original Dragon God properly overseeing the realm, how could they not regain their positions?
Not only that but Tang Wulin wouldn’t allow anyone to stop them since he wanted them to regain their original strength.
“If you’re thankful, then you need to get along with the new gods. No more of that Dragon Supremacy that the old Dragon God follows can be allowed to persist.”
“I know… While we still loved the Dragon God and our glory years. We also understand that we can’t follow our old way if we want to avoid that tragedy from happening again.”
The Light Dragon King released a sigh.
He and the other dragons in the Dragon Graveyard could never be mad at the Dragon God.
How could they?
He was the reason for their pristine glory, the reason for their strength, and the one who made them into gods in the first place.
He was their Creator and they were his child. Even if it was his actions that led them to ruin, how could they hate him?
It was impossible for them to hate him because he genuinely cared for and took care of all of them. He was their leader and father, no matter what anyone else says, they worshiped him with all of their hearts.
“Still… What are you going to do with the Dragon God position now father?”
The Light Dragon King and the other dragons heard that Tang Wulin created a God Position instead of accepting the Dragon God one.
While they were saddened by this since it meant their father’s position would be vacant for even longer.
They could understand that the Dragon God position would have been useless against the Universal Law.
They weren’t blind enough to believe the Dragon God could resist the Universal Law attacks like how the God of Existence could.
But at the very least, they wanted to know what would happen to the position.
They didn’t know if Gu Yuena would accept it because she hasn’t shown much sign of wanting to become the Dragon God.
After learning about Tang Wulin meeting with the Dragon God Will and his approval from the graveyard. She had been quiet about the Dragon God position, lately.
Although they would need the Golden Dragon King bloodline to accept it. But they believed it would be possible for Tang Wulin to grant Gu Yuena the Golden Dragon King bloodline.
Either through him wishing for her to have it or him blessing her with it, which would take a lot from him.
But they knew he would do this since it would help her.
“Hmm either Gu Yuena will accept it or it will be for the next generation… With this being the case, will you guys stop calling me father?”
“Of course not! Whether you have the position or not, you remind us of father way too much for us to stop.”
Xu Xiaoyan laughed at the flat look Tang Wulin gave the Light Dragon King.
“For the next generation huh… Yeah, that wouldn’t be so bad.”
“Hm?”
“Nothing, alright I will be heading back… Take care of yourself father.”
The Light Dragon King smiled at the duo as his figure began to fade away in a shimmer of golden light.
“That was interesting!”
“Of course you would say that.”
Xu Xiaoyan smiled while Tang Wulin gently ran his hand through her blue hair. Xu Xiaoyan snuggled more in Tang Wulin arms, loving the way his hand rang through her hair.
While Tang Wulin enjoyed her body pressing on him.
“It’s been a while since I had you… All of you. I can finish building the realm later.”
“Oh? Are you thinking about skipping the realm building, to be with us? That isn’t very responsible~.”
“Responsibility can come after, I am done with you all.” Tang Wulin gently pulled Xu Xiaoyen closer.”I missed you.”
“And I missed you as well.”
Xu Xiaoyan softly kissed his neck and then lips before she started to move out of his embrace while she held his hand.
“Well come on then, as much as I want you now. We need to get the others.”
Tang Wulin had a faint smile as he allowed Xu Xiaoyan to drag him out of the garden. As they moved out of the garden, they kissed once more before parting.
As Tang Wulin wanted to do something before he met them later which Xu Xiaoyan agreed to and say she will meet him later.
