Gu Yuena was standing beside the bed of the unconscious Qiangu Zhangting with a series of emotions flashing through her eyes. Qiangu Zhangting had already been unconscious for over an hour, and according to the healing system Soul Masters, he had fainted mostly due to emotional reasons rather than from his injuries. The vast majority of the power of Tang Wulin's Dragon Emperor Slash had been withstood by Qiangu Dongfeng, so Qiangu Zhangting's injury was only skin-deep. He was a Titled Douluo himself, after all, so his defensive prowess was certainly no joke.
Qiangu Dongfeng was busy taking care of other matters, so Gu Yuena was staying behind to look after Qiangu Zhangting, and at this moment, her mind was completely elsewhere.
The Dragon Emperor Slash had been extremely powerful, but what had truly stunned her was Tang Wulin's hundred-meter domain.
That domain represented the acknowledgment of the dragon clan. She had long been aware of Tang Wulin's bracelet, but she didn't think that it contained such pure and unadulterated admiration.
From Tang Wulin's mental manifestation, she was finally able to understand what he had done during his 1,000-day absence.
He did possess the Golden Dragon King bloodline, but he was still a human, yet he had laid all of the dragon skeletons of the dragon tomb to rest on his own.
She could still clearly recall that the entire Dragon Valley space had been extremely unstable at the time. Furthermore, she didn't want to have to face him, so she had hurriedly left. However, he had disappeared for over three years, and by then, it had become impossible for her to access the Dragon Valley again.
So that was what he had been doing all along. What he had done for the dragon clan couldn't be described through words. At the time, he was still far less powerful than he currently was, and as a normal human, his lifespan was limited to only around 100 years at most, yet he had chosen to expend 3% of the best years of his life on completing such a lonely and thankless task.
It was no wonder that his soul power hadn't improved by much upon his return; he had spent all his time and energy on that task!
The gratitude of all of the dragon souls had been condensed into that bracelet, and it acted as an amulet for him, preventing any dragon from being able to attack him, not even the Evil Vanquishing Dragon.
A series of complex thoughts raced through Gu Yuena's mind, but they were concealed behind her calm facade.
Right at this moment, a hoarse cough rang out, and Qiangu Zhangting opened his eyes in a disoriented manner.
He immediately caught sight of Gu Yuena, and his memories gradually returned to him, upon which he clearly began to become more emotional.
Gu Yuena strode over to him before whispering something into his ear, and only then did his expression ease slightly.
"Really?"
"Yes."
"I'm so sorry, Nana; I can't believe how useless I am. It's all my fault!" Qiangu Zhangting closed his eyes with a pained expression.
"Don't think too much and focus on recovery; I'll take care of everything else. The badge has already been destroyed; don't make Grandfather have to worry about you as well." Gu Yuena's voice was very gentle and seemed to be imbued with some type of magical power. Qiangu Zhangting gradually became more relaxed as he heard her voice. "You're so good to me, Nana."
"Shh, focus on resting for now," Gu Yuena urged in a gentle voice.
Qiangu Dongfeng was standing at the entrance to the room, appraising the two of them with furrowed brows, but he had a relieved look in his eyes.
He was very pleased with Gu Yuena's attitude, but the loss of the Soul Sucking Badge was far too severe, particularly considering it had been destroyed during such a farcical event; he really didn't know how to explain this to the patriarch.
......
Tang Wulin was situated within a boundless expanse of cloud and mist, within which a series of giant dragons were flying around him while letting loose elated roars, seemingly celebrating something.
Tang Wulin had no idea how he had gotten here, but everything felt very realistic.
Right at this moment, a massive golden dragon suddenly appeared beneath him, and before he had a chance to react, the gigantic dragon raised him up so that he was standing on its head. A clear dragon's roar rang out, and all of the surrounding giant dragons quickly gathered around Tang Wulin while letting loose joyous roars of their own.
"Thank you for laying us to rest. Thank you for planting a seed for the dragon clan. Thank you, our leader, our Dragon God."
A message surged into Tang Wulin's mind, followed immediately by a stream of countless emotions. The sudden and massive influx of information immediately struck him with a splitting headache, but thankfully, he possessed sufficient spiritual power to allow himself to adjust to this in just a short time.
This was the Dragon Valley!
He finally knew where all of these giant dragons had come from.
Having attained mental manifestation level spiritual power, all of his dreams would become projections, just like what was happening right now.
The bracelet around his wrist was referred to as the Dragon God's Tear by all of the giant dragons, and it was a divine tool that had been left behind by the Dragon God.
The remains of the Dragon God had once been in the Dragon Valley, and its true spirit had been guarding the entire dragon tomb, nourishing all of the dragon skeletons within the tomb in the hope that that the dragon clan would enjoy a resurgence someday.
However, not long after Tang Wulin entered the Dragon Valley, the true spirit of the Dragon God was taken away by someone who also possessed the aura of the Dragon God.
As a result, the entire Dragon Valley was facing collapse. However, Tang Wulin also possessed the aura of the Dragon God, and his presence stabilized the entire plane, preventing the dragon tomb from completely collapsing.
After that, he had spent over three years burying dragon skeletons. All of these skeletons contained energy provided to them by the Dragon God's true spirit, and having been buried like seeds, the skeletons were given an opportunity to retain their own sentience.
At the same time, Tang Wulin's Dragon God aura had become more and more pronounced through his constant absorption of dragon souls, and this allowed the entire plane to gradually stabilize during the time that he had spent there.
Even though it was an unintentional act, Tang Wulin had saved the entire dragon tomb. After all these years, the dragon skeletons in the dragon tomb had gradually reawakened their sentience, and they managed to get into contact with Tang Wulin through the Dragon God's Tear.
Of course, this wouldn't have been possible had Tang Wulin not reached the mental manifestation level.
The power of that domain had stemmed from the projection of the dragon tomb, and the giant golden dragon currently carrying Tang Wulin was the most powerful one of the Dragon God's nine sons, the Light Dragon King.
The Light Dragon King's dragon spirit had been preserved very well, and it told Tang Wulin that it could sense that his Dragon God aura was becoming more and more pronounced. If he could find the being that had taken away the Dragon God's true spirit and recover the true spirit before absorbing their aura, then he could trigger a dragon clan resurgence.
During this process, they were willing to assist Tang Wulin at any time through the Dragon God's Tear.
"I see, but once the dragon clan is revived, will you remain in the dragon tomb or return to the Douluo Continent?" Tang Wulin asked.
The Light Dragon King replied, "I understand your concerns. At your core, you're still a human, and even though I don't understand why you possess the Dragon God's aura, I can tell you that you don't need to be worried. We were once divine beasts that fought in the battle of the Divine Realm, but the Divine Realm no longer exists now, and the Dragon God has also fallen, so we'll only be normal dragons. Even if we return to the Douluo Continent, our presence won't impact the human race. Besides, we no longer want to return to that lifeless plane anyway."
Tang Wulin faltered slightly upon hearing this. "Can you also sense the depleted life energy on the Douluo Continent?"
