Chapter 7 — The Silver Dragon King Comes to Give Herself Away Again!
"Phone!"
At Jiang Chen's command, a device shaped like a modern smartphone shot out from Huo Yuner's pink backpack, sprouting metallic wings as it hovered in the air.
Its digital screen scanned Jiang Chen from head to toe before flashing a giant green emoji.
[Honored Federation User 002, identity verified. Successfully logged into the SoulNet.]
In the current era, soul spirits had integrated into every aspect of life across the Douluo Continent.
Not only did they serve as spirits providing soul rings for soul masters, but some even participated in daily living.
For example, the Evil Eye tribe—after ten thousand years of development under the Spirit Transmission Tower—had specialized in spiritual power, building the SoulNet, a psychic network capable of traversing the web and intercepting communication signals.
Unfortunately, Evil Eye descendants were rare, and few had access to special devices controlled by one.
Once identity verification completed, the phone dropped gently into Jiang Chen's hand.
He tapped a long-sealed chat group displayed in the green holographic bubble.
[The Ten Harmoniously Coexisting Families]
That group—"Ten Harmoniously Coexisting Families"—was composed of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.
The second-ranked Evil Emperor had been taken by Huo Yuhao and ascended, so Jiang Chen had replaced their number.
Jiang Chen's tiny fingers flew over the screen, tagging the avatar of a black, imposing dragon.

"Di Tian! What the hell? How could you not tell me the Silver Dragon King had awakened?!"
It had been two hundred years since the last message.
Jiang Chen's ping immediately caused chaos in the group chat.
A green-swan avatar replied first.
Bi Ji: "Big Cat? You're awake? Did you drain another quasi-god again? I'm jealous of your growth method. When I first met you, you were just a cub—now you're enormous!"
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger species had always grown by devouring others. Everywhere one appeared, other soul beasts banded together to destroy it before it grew too powerful.
That made Jiang Chen's kind extremely rare.
Among humans, such ability would mark him as an evil soul master.
Only after Huo Yuhao had created the soul spirit system—and Jiang Chen had refined it—did the soul beasts truly benefit, finally earning him their recognition.
Of course, his overwhelming strength helped too.
Among beasts, might made right.
A bear avatar holding a honey jar chimed in.
Bear King: "Brother Chen's awake, huh? Already done devouring again? Think you can survive that million-year heavenly tribulation?"
Messages flooded in—Myriad Demon King, Red King, Purple Queen, and even the Blue Silver Emperor, who Jiang Chen had once lured from the Devil Forest (now renamed Sun Moon Forest) into the Ten Great Beasts' ranks.
All expressed both admiration and pity.
Admiration—for his million-year cultivation.
Pity—because the million-year tribulation was inescapable death.
At that moment, Di Tian finally stirred to life.
ForTheRevivalOfSoulBeasts_WalkingOnThinIce: "Big Cat, mind your tone. Even if you've contributed to our race, you will not insult my Lord!"
SuppressAllInThisLife: "Yes, yes! Your Lord is wonderful!"
Not giving Di Tian time to retort, Jiang Chen continued typing.
"Do you even know your Lord ran off?! What kind of subordinate are you—how could you let her wander freely?!"
ForTheRevivalOfSoulBeasts_WalkingOnThinIce: "Nonsense! My Lord is clearly in seclusion!"
Jiang Chen: …
Glancing over at the half-Silver Dragon King he'd already "kidnapped," he typed again:
"What if," he wrote slowly, "your Lord… is only half of herself now?"
ForTheRevivalOfSoulBeasts_WalkingOnThinIce: "You're too arrogant! Don't think I, Di Tian, fear you just because you've reached a million years! Seems you're asking for a taste of my Dragon God Claw!"

Jiang Chen: 6
Without replying, he simply raised his phone and took a picture of Na'er.
SuppressAllInThisLife: "Your half-Lord—care to explain?"
ForTheRevivalOfSoulBeasts_WalkingOnThinIce: "!!!"
Within the Star Dou Great Forest—now Star Dou City.
A lush green metropolis full of life. Aside from a few humans, it was populated almost entirely by soul beasts.
Since Jiang Chen's reform and expansion of the soul spirit system, soul beasts had become an inseparable part of the Spirit Transmission Tower, holding nearly half its authority.
Most of them, however, preferred meditation to management. They lived peacefully, no longer reduced to caged animals as in the old days.
All thanks to Jiang Chen.
Now Di Tian sat in his headquarters, staring silently at the image Jiang Chen had sent.
Half… of the Silver Dragon King?
He narrowed his golden eyes at the picture. Though it was difficult to confirm across a photo, Jiang Chen was not one to exaggerate.
Could it be…?
His Lord?
He quietly descended into the depths beneath the Lake of Life, stopping before a sealed chamber.
"Lord… are you there?" he called softly.
A deep, cold voice replied from within.
"What is it?"
After a hesitant pause, Di Tian said, "Jiang Chen claims to have found your other half… in the human world. How should we respond?"
"Do not interfere."
"Yes."
"And remind him… to mind his own business."
Like a shadow, Di Tian vanished from the Lake of Life without another question.
As long as his Lord still existed—even half of her—that was enough.
Besides, without the God Realm ruling above, even half a Silver Dragon King faced no threat in the mortal world.
And since her awakening, Di Tian hadn't dared overstep. In fact, he had immediately abdicated his position as Beast God and handed the title back to the Silver Dragon King.
He had even proclaimed publicly that she was a god-king level being who, once fully restored, would lead all soul beasts to a new golden age in this godless era.
No one would dare oppress them again.
Only Her Excellency, the Silver Dragon King, could lead the revival of all soul beasts!
Bear King: "But honestly, things are pretty nice right now! I just forge weapons all day, get fed constantly, and people panic if I so much as sneeze."
"All my descendants are fat and lazy and now we've got our own clan!"
The Darkgold Fearclaw Bear, possessing Behemoth lineage and strong enough to challenge dragons, had once ruled the bear species.
But he'd never been a good leader.
That was why, in the Peerless Tang Sect era, Huo Yuhao could find spare Darkgold Bears wandering around.
Now, humans pampered them so thoroughly that the Bear King had lost all motivation.
Being spoiled… was just too comfortable.
As the Bear King chuckled carelessly, Di Tian shot him a sideways glare—and pulled out the Dragon God Claw.
Immediately, the Bear King shrank back, silent as death.
He remembered all too well—when Di Tian used that claw seriously, none could withstand it.
Submission was safer.
