Chapter 592: Di Tian, You Don't Want the Divine Realm to Discover the Silver Dragon King's Whereabouts, Do You?
This was definitely not an aura that could be faked just by having the Water Dragon King's bloodline.
After all, as someone who had met the Nine Dragon Kings, Di Tian could distinctly feel the unique divine aura of the Water Dragon King's God Position emanating from Huo Yuhao!
However, Huo Yuhao was not surprised by Di Tian's reaction this was all within his expectations. The only thing that caught him off guard was being called "Aunt Shui" by Di Tian. That was a bit too much.
According to the established lore, Di Tian was the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King.
Every generation of Golden Eyed Black Dragon Kings was destined to inherit the position of Dragon God's Chief Guardian.
Of course, at the moment, Di Tian had no real chance to serve the Dragon God after all, with the Dragon God's power, there was no dragon in existence truly capable of protecting him.
Thus, the Chief Guardian's main duty was to assist the Dragon God in maintaining order within the dragon race.
The dragons existed long before the Dragon God appeared, but he was not only the first dragon to break through to the God King level, he was also an unimaginably powerful Supreme God King.
If we consider the Dragon God as the first generation of dragons, then the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King, being special cases, could be considered generation 1.5.
The Dragon Crown Prince and the Nine Dragon Kings belonged to the second generation.
Although the Douluo series sometimes contradicts itself in lore, Huo Yuhao had analyzed all the clues:
The so called "Nine Sons of the Dragon" were actually the Nine Dragon Kings the Dragon God's children in name, though not biological descendants.
The strongest dragon talents of the era had received part of the Dragon God's evolving bloodline, recognizing him as both their Father and Lord, thus becoming the Nine Dragon Kings.
In the original work, Xuan Zi had successfully awakened his Taotie bloodline, transforming into a Taotie and making Di Tian instinctively call him "Uncle Taotie". The narration even confirmed that the Dragon God's fifth son was Taotie.
Among the Nine Dragon Kings, who shared the same earth attribute as Xuan Zi?
The answer was obvious the Earth Dragon King.
From this, it could be deduced that Taotie was the Earth Dragon King.
As for the Mountain Dragon King, he had a stabilization attribute, responsible for transforming into mountains and land to calm the raging seas a concept completely unrelated to earth attributes.
So, even though the lore of the original story was inconsistent, based on all available clues, Di Tian was undoubtedly a third generation dragon.
After all, he recognized the Dragon God's fifth son as "Uncle Taotie".
Then who was Di Tian's father?
The most logical answer the Dark Dragon King, the previous Chief Guardian of the Dragon God's era.
Thus, Di Tian's position as Chief Guardian was most likely inherited from his father.
…This would make for a perfect Douluo Universe Essay:
"My Dark Dragon King Father."
Huo Yuhao spoke calmly.
"Di Tian, I am not the reincarnation of the Water Dragon King.
"I have simply inherited part of her legacy and will one day restore her God Position.
"In a sense, I am her successor."
Although he could have lied and claimed to be the Water Dragon King reborn, there was no point in doing so.
Even if he could deceive Di Tian, could he really deceive the Silver Dragon King?
While the Silver Dragon King was undeniably a love struck fool, she wasn't in love yet which meant her rational thinking was still intact.
At her current stage, there was no way she would fall for such a lie.
Di Tian's expression showed clear disappointment.
As the Beast God, he had immense responsibilities and pressure.
For a moment, he had hoped that he had finally met the reincarnation of a powerful dragon deity a cause for celebration.
But now, hearing that Huo Yuhao was merely an inheritor, his excitement faded into disappointment.
"A successor…?"
Di Tian's gaze grew cold.
"That means you will eventually become a God King?"
From his perspective, humans were inherently untrustworthy.
If another human became a God King, wouldn't that further crush the soul beast race's hopes of revival?
If there was a way to stop him from ascending…
Huo Yuhao immediately noticed the change in Di Tian's demeanor.
He knew exactly what was going through his mind.
He smiled calmly and said, "Yes, I will eventually become a God King.
"However, Di Tian, I understand that in your eyes, I am still young.
"You may think you have a chance to interfere and stop my ascension…
"But let me remind you
"The Silver Dragon King in the Lake of Life is still the number one fugitive of the Divine Realm."
"And as someone who has inherited part of the Water Dragon King's legacy…
"I have ways to alert the Five God Kings of the Divine Realm to her presence."
"Di Tian…
"You wouldn't want the Divine Realm to discover the Silver Dragon King's whereabouts, would you?"
According to Divine Realm Legends, the Five God Kings had no idea where the Silver Dragon King was hiding.
That made sense.
After all, the Silver Dragon King was half of the Dragon God even if she was severely wounded, she would still have access to incredible stealth and escape techniques.
After all, the Dragon God had once been a Supreme God King.
Even the original Asura God had to respectfully call him "Lord".
Di Tian's entire body tensed.
Being threatened was one thing.
But this was about the Lord's existence this was a soul beast secret of the highest level!
For the soul beast race, the Lord was their hope for revival.
Even though some soul beasts had accumulated enough power to ascend, they were unable to become Divine Beasts.
In Di Tian's mind
If the Lord could return to her peak strength and eventually reunite with the Golden Dragon King, then the Dragon God would be reborn.
The dragon race could rise again.
Soul beasts could finally flourish once more.
Di Tian's golden eyes turned toward Qiu'er.
Could it be that she had let this information slip?
Qiu'er was still furious that Di Tian had threatened Huo Yuhao.
As for Huo Yuhao turning the tables and threatening Di Tian instead
From her perspective, this was entirely justified.
After all
Would Huo Yuhao have done this if Di Tian hadn't tried to imprison him first?
This was Di Tian's fault.
She glared at him.
"What? Di Tian, do you think I was the one who leaked it?
"Why would I ever reveal something like that?"
Di Tian quickly looked away, feeling slightly guilty.
He turned back to Huo Yuhao and forced his voice to remain calm.
"Huo Yuhao… How do you know about the Lord?"
Huo Yuhao smiled faintly.
"Di Tian, I don't need to answer that question.
"But I know a lot more than you think…
"For example, the truth behind the Dragon God's fall."
Di Tian's expression shifted.
"There was a hidden truth?"
"Of course." Huo Yuhao chuckled. "But whether or not I tell you…
"Depends on your sincerity."
Di Tian's face twisted in frustration.
At this point, he no longer had any thoughts of forcing Huo Yuhao to stay or stopping him from becoming a god.
He had been thoroughly checkmated.
Di Tian sighed deeply.
"What do you want?"
