The Legend of the Dragon King

“Your Golden Dragon Spear is given to you by your elder sister. We miss you dearly and often think of you.”

Tang Wulin stared blankly at Tang San before him. He finally knew the origins of his Golden Dragon King bloodline. Father? The one who was standing before him was his biological father. Was his father a deity?

Tang San’s body had faded without them noticing. His gaze toward Tang Wulin was filled with rich emotions.

He raised his left hand as if he wanted to touch his son who was standing before him. However, he could not reach his son.

Father, dad. His own father was a deity?

The sadness within Tang Wulin was gone. Now, he was shocked and felt incredulous instead. It came to him too suddenly, and he found it difficult to accept in such a short time.

“I don’t have much time left. Such long-range communication which crosses the boundaries of space needs constant monitoring and consumes a large amount of resources. The death of your adopted parents took its toll on you. You’re very much like me. So as to relieve some of your stress, I had no choice but to come. However, this means that Old Tang won’t be able to stay by your side to protect you anymore. The Boundless Universe Shield will shatter after this. You can only depend on yourself in the future. I’ll work hard to make the Divine Realm return, but I don’t know how long it’ll take me. On our side, we also face many problems. We’ve encountered other Divine Realms and clashed with them. We have to rely on their power if we want to come back. So, I hope that as you continue to grow stronger, you must also control the Golden Dragon King’s sealed power. There’s no doubt that the Golden Dragon King’s essence will bring you great danger, but it’s also an opportunity for you. As long as you stay true to yourself, you’ll be able to walk a path that I’ve never walked before. The Golden Dragon King is virtually immortal. Wait for us. Father and Mother will come back. When the time comes, we’ll have our family reunion.”

“Perhaps, one day, when you’re powerful enough to create your own Divine Realm, you can then find a way to look for us. I’ll ingrain our Divine Realm’s coordinates and aura onto your spiritual world. It’ll only be revealed when you’ve broken through your limits and attained the rank of a deity.”

“Child, don’t worry, I’ll save your adopted parents and let them live in the Divine Realm. When we meet again, you’ll see us and them as well. So, don’t be sad. You need a fearless heart to face what your future has in store for you. I’m really worried, but I have no way of protecting you. If I haven’t appeared today, I’m afraid that you’ll lose control of the Golden Dragon King’s powers. Fortunately, the Golden Dragon King’s powers will bestow upon you an immortal body. Even if you’re tainted by its power and become wild, don’t give up on yourself. Believe in me. We’ll come back no matter what. We’ll find you so that you can return and stay by our side.”

When he said the final sentence, Tang San’s tone was filled with supreme confidence.

His body began turning illusory by the minute. The starlight around them began to dim as well.

“You must cultivate the Millennium Cloud well. That’s one of Father’s most powerful abilities. When the day comes where you’re able to completely master the secrets of time, even without a Divine Realm, you’ll be able to transcend everything on the Douluo Continent to create your own small world. The powers I can transfer over are limited. Other than the Millennium Cloud, I’ll teach you another technique which you can cultivate at the same time. It has something to do with the secrets of space.”

As he said this, Tang San threw his right arm forward. The golden trident in his hand turned into a flowing light and shot toward Tang Wulin. At the center of Tang Wulin’s forehead, a golden trident pattern appeared. The two entities seemed to be communicating with each other.

The golden trident which flew toward him suddenly struck his forehead. A stabbing pain and a heavy weight came upon him making him grunt. Following that, a huge torrent of memories ingrained themselves into his mind.

A slightly vague and obscure voice reached his ears, “Child, take care and wait for us. Oh yeah, there’s something else. Be careful of the silver…”

The voice ended abruptly. The heavy weight he felt seemed to pull him out of the illusory environment and anchor him in reality.

Everything vanished into the darkness around him. Tang Wulin felt the world swirl. In his mind, circles of golden light rings expanded outward. Two words also appeared in his consciousness, Disorderly Storm.

It was so heavy.

…

“He’s awake, he’s awake! Big brother is awake!” came a surprised voice. Some shuffling sounds could be heard around him.

Tang Wulin opened his eyes with some effort. He was unable to focus his gaze at first. Currently, he felt hollow inside, as if something had vanished from within him.

With the return of his consciousness, his strength seemed to have returned as well. He heard his heartbeat and the powerful contractions of his Dragon Core.

His blood essence surged. He instinctively sat up.

He opened his eyes and the scene which confronted him was a number of caring gazes.

The Shrek Six Monsters were present. So were Long Yuxue, Sima Jinchi, A Ruheng, and the others. They made the large room seem packed.

“Big brother, the dead can’t come back to life. You must learn to move on!” Xie Xie was beside Tang Wulin. He spoke to him carefully.

Tang Wulin turned to look at him. Then, he looked at the others and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, “Where are my parents?”

“After I turned them into jade with my healing powers, I felt a surge of suction force from you for some unknown reason. It came from between your brows. There seemed to be some mysterious vortex there. I can only faintly make out the flicker of countless stars within the vortex. Then, it sucked their bodies away. Do you know what that was?”

The Holy Spirit Douluo made her way into the room. She had a frown and her gaze suggested that she was reminiscing about something.

When he heard her say this, Tang Wulin shivered as if he was cold. Then, he snapped to his senses. The heavy weight was still present within his sea of spirit. Soon after, his memories of the recent encounter returned to him as well.”

“Father…”

…

His face was pale and his long blue hair seemed to have lost some of their luster. Tang San stood up with some effort. When he looked at the two bodies which had been turned into jade, he looked relieved.

Beside him stood a lady in a pink dress. Her long hair was tied into a scorpion braid. Her eyes were filled with anxiety. When she saw Tang San standing up, she quickly supported his arm.

“Brother San, are you alright?” she asked in a gentle voice.

“I’m alright. It’s just that it took a lot out of me.” Tang San caressed her long hair.

“How’s Linlin? How does he look now?” the lady’s voice trembled. Her eyes soon turned red.

“He’s doing very well. Don’t you worry. He has your beautiful eyes. He’s grown up and almost my height now. Just as we were before, he’s an emotional person. From the split consciousness I left in him, I’ve obtained much information regarding him. I’ll tell you all about it later, right down to every detail. I’ve finally transported his adopted parents here. He should be fine, you can rest easy. The Dragon God was immortal back then. Otherwise, we won’t be sealing the Golden Dragon King away. Although there’s a possibility that Tang Wulin might be influenced by the Golden Dragon King’s divine consciousness, it was gravely injured by my shura sword prior to this. As long as he stays true to himself and with my Sea God’s Trident’s help, his own divine consciousness won’t be affected. The most trying times have passed. When we return, we can be reunited once again.”

The lady was about to cry when she said, “But we don’t know how long that’ll take us. I haven’t even taken a good look at him ever since I gave birth to him! My Linlin, Mother misses you so!”

Tang San hugged his wife gently, “I know. I spent too much energy just now. I didn’t even hear him call me ‘Father’…”

Xiao Wu suddenly raised her head, “Brother San, you’ve already spent so much energy, but the battle of the gods is about to begin. You…”

Tang San smiled drily. There was only pride in his eyes.

“For our son, I must win!”
