Chapter 50: The Ancestor of the Dragon Clan
Ao Tian reverted to his human form and shook his head. "I was asleep in the Core Magma Space, but I do have connections to some volcanoes. What's wrong?"
Ao Tian was puzzled. Gu Yue Na wasn't entirely correct, but she wasn't far off.
He didn't understand how she knew he was sleeping in the magma.
Hearing Ao Tian's answer, a blush quickly bloomed on Gu Yue Na's pale face, a result of her excitement and elation.
Her heart surged, and she hurried forward, approaching Ao Tian. She bowed and said, "Gu Yue Na greets you, Senior."
At this moment, where was the Dragon King's dignity? In front of Ao Tian, she was like a little girl next door facing a big brother she admired.
Di Tian and the others were stunned, their mouths agape in disbelief. They couldn't believe their eyes.
It was astonishing that the Dragon King could be so well-behaved, and even more astonishing what Ao Tian's background was, to warrant the Dragon King lowering herself so much.
Ao Tian, confused, asked, "You knew me before?"
Gu Yue Na nodded, her voice filled with excitement, "The Dragon God's memories contain information about you."
Ao Tian was even more puzzled. He didn't know the Dragon God before he fell asleep, so how did the Dragon God know him?
Seemingly sensing Ao Tian's confusion, Gu Yue Na reached out to touch Ao Tian, but quickly retracted her hand upon contact with his arm. "I'm sorry, Senior Ao. I got too excited. Let's go inside and talk," she said.
She gestured towards the wooden house, inviting him in.
"Alright," Ao Tian replied, and began walking towards the wooden house.
Gu Yue Na followed behind him, nervous and excited, like a young servant.
Di Tian and the others followed behind. They had already understood that Ao Tian was an ancient and powerful being, but they were very curious about the relationship between Ao Tian and the Dragon God.
"Mommy, let's go take a look too," Xiao Wu tugged on her mother's hand.
She had spent so much time with Ao Tian, and now she finally had the chance to learn his secrets. How could she not be excited?
Xiao Wu's mother picked her up and quickly followed.
The wooden house had few chairs, but the space was very spacious. Perhaps it was because Soul Beasts were generally large and didn't like confined spaces, so the house was built bigger.
Inside, only Ao Tian was sitting in a chair, while Gu Yue Na stood beside him.
"Sit down and talk," Ao Tian said.
"I dare not," Gu Yue Na replied.
The Dragon Clan's hierarchy and status were extremely strict. Now that she knew Ao Tian was a very ancient senior, she naturally didn't dare to be rude.
"Sit down if I tell you to," Ao Tian said, his brow furrowing slightly.
Gu Yue Na quickly sat down. Then, with a thought, the entire wooden house instantly burst into light, as bright as day.
She possessed the ability to control elements, so it wasn't difficult for her to unleash light in the darkness.
Xiao Wu was looking around, trying to find where the light was coming from, but after searching, she couldn't find the source.
Gu Yue Na finally returned to the main topic, saying, "Senior Ao, you may not know this, but the Dragon God has a great connection with you."
"Tell me about it," Ao Tian immediately became interested.
Gu Yue Na said, "When the Dragon God was still weak, he happened to fall into a volcano. There, he felt an extremely terrifying pressure. He wanted to dive to the bottom of the magma to investigate, but the further down he went, the more terrifying the temperature became, so he had to give up.
But soon, he discovered a strange power within the magma that could rapidly boost his cultivation.
The Dragon God had secluded himself there for a hundred years. When he emerged, he was already invincible at the time. He also realized he had received the Dragon Clan's inheritance and used his power to develop and strengthen the Dragon Clan.
Later, his cultivation grew increasingly powerful, even reaching beyond the God King realm. Yet, he never entered that volcano again, because he understood that a terrifying powerhouse was slumbering within, someone he would have to look up to even at his peak.
In his heart, he also regarded the powerhouse sleeping within the volcano as the Dragon Clan's ancestor."
Gu Yue Na finished, her expression filled with reverence, her large purple eyes fixed on Ao Tian.
The others were already stunned. So, Senior Ao was even older than the Dragon God! Moreover, the Dragon God's achievements were because he had received Senior Ao's inheritance.
If they had heard such words before, they would have scoffed, even killing the person who said them to protect the Dragon God's dignity.
But now, since the Silver Dragon King had said it herself, they couldn't help but believe.
No wonder Senior Ao could defeat them with a flick of his finger. It turned out Senior Ao's background was so terrifying, his strength surpassing even the Dragon God they followed.
Di Tian and the others were filled with respect, their reverence for Ao Tian now nearly equal to that for the Dragon God.
Thinking of the Soul Beast clan's tragic fate—unable to become gods and constantly slaughtered by powerful human Soul Masters—they couldn't help but clench their fists.
If they didn't fight back, they were doomed to perish.
Now, their Soul Beast clan had found an ancient great being, and the ancestor of the Dragon Clan, they suddenly had a backbone, a strong foundation.
"Senior Ao will definitely lead us to glory again," they thought.
"So that's how it is. The Dragon Clan of Douluo World actually originated from me." Ao Tian was surprised.
He had been cultivating while asleep in the Core Magma Space.
Each breakthrough in his cultivation technique would bring him a transformation. It wasn't strange that some Dragon Blood would spill into the magma.
He had woken up a few times during his slumber because creatures in the magma had consumed the Dragon Blood that had spilled during his transformations. However, those creatures couldn't withstand the domineering power of the Dragon Blood and exploded.
Later, he stopped paying attention to such matters. He never expected a creature to successfully absorb his Dragon Blood, complete a transformation, and even become the Dragon God in the Douluo World.
No wonder the Dragon Clan here looked different from him. He estimated that the original Dragon God was really a large lizard, or a creature similar to a lizard.
Ao Tian looked at Gu Yue Na and Di Tian in front of him and immediately felt a sense of kinship.
These were his descendants.
"So, you are the true ancestor of our Dragon Clan," Gu Yue Na said with a pious expression.
She stood up and was about to give Ao Tian a kneeling bow.
Ao Tian raised his hand, and an irresistible force prevented Gu Yue Na from kneeling.
He's not dead yet… How could he just accept someone's kowtow?
Gu Yue Na's expression suddenly became sorrowful. "Ancestor, the Dragon God was originally the master of the God Realm. He was magnanimous and accepted humans, allowing those who had cultivated to a certain level to enter the God Realm to cultivate.
Later, the Dragon God himself encountered some problems and was taken advantage of by villains, who tried to eliminate the human powerhouses in the God Realm. However, humans cultivated too quickly and, in turn, killed the Dragon God, whose strength was declining.
The humans' resistance wasn't wrong, but what they did later was too extreme. All the divine beasts that didn't submit were killed by them, and the remaining ones were kept as pets.
They also interfered with the laws, preventing the Soul Beasts of the lower realms from ever having the chance to become gods. To become a god, they had to transform into humans.
The fate of the Soul Beasts could only be to be hunted by humans and become their soul rings. If we don't resist, in a few tens of thousands of years, the Soul Beasts will be completely extinct."
Gu Yue Na looked at Ao Tian, her voice filled with grief. "Ancestor, please lead us to fight for a free world."
