Chapter 83: The Dragon Emperor’s Return

When the Dragon Emperor’s several-kilometer-long body completely emerged from the teleportation结界, the dark red teleportation array dissipated into nothingness.

Only as the Dragon Emperor ceased the circulation of his spiritual power did the oppressive pressure within the hall gradually ease.

Yet even at this level, the pressure was enough to crush the souls of any being below the seventh rank.

No wonder he was the number one Battle Sovereign of the Origin Star Universe—terrifyingly so.

While marveling at his eldest brother’s unmatched power,

Yifeisi also felt a sense of helplessness and melancholy.

This overwhelming strength could indeed make a huge contribution to protecting the entire Origin Star Universe, but for the Dragon Emperor himself, it was not necessarily a good thing.

The Dragon Emperor’s power precisely limited his own freedom. This force was too violent and powerful; even the Dragon Emperor could not fully suppress it. To avoid causing irreversible damage to other fragile lives or planetary ecosystems, the Dragon Emperor had to keep himself bound within the Heart of the World Tree, far away from other beings and even his own kind.

Yifeisi had no idea how long the Dragon Emperor had been there. Since his own birth, the Dragon Emperor had left that place only a handful of times—including this intervention against the extraterrestrial Battle Sovereign, no more than five.

Only a few of us siblings could come to accompany him. Even the rare other visitors always came with some special purpose.

Perhaps this was the so-called greater power, greater cost.

Although the Dragon Emperor always said he was just sleeping, it must still be extremely boring.

Watching his eldest brother gradually lower his massive form, retract his sky-covering wings, and curl up on the hall floor as usual, wrapping himself with his tail,

returning to the image of a daily “homebody dragon,”

Yifeisi finally stepped forward to ask the doubts in his mind.

“Big Brother… why did it take so long? Was that extraterrestrial humanoid Battle Sovereign really that hard to deal with?”

To be honest, the Dragon Emperor’s return only now exceeded Yifeisi’s expectations. He had assumed it wouldn’t take much time, so he had answered the video call from that little girl Fule Ai, thinking he could use the Dragon Emperor as an excuse later.

But unexpectedly, he had waited until now, and that second princess had annoyed him to death.

Hearing Yifeisi’s question, the Dragon Emperor immediately responded, without any hint of haughtiness.

“Yeah, a bit tough.”

Then he adjusted the position of his claws, rested his head on his arms in a very comfortable posture, and slowly closed his eyes, entering his usual semi-hibernation state. Only then did the spiritual power in the hall fully stabilize.

He then added to his unfinished words.

“That girl’s strength is probably not inferior to yours. She might even be able to exchange blows with Fen.”

Hearing this, Yifeisi also showed an incredulous expression. “A girl? Then it really is that old flame of our little sister? And if she can match Sister Fen, her strength is certainly not to be underestimated.”

“Yes. Moreover, those purple particles near Blue Star are indeed a branch application of her purple Silent Shadow Power. If you had directly teleported in front of her to intercept as before, you would have suffered considerable damage at the first encounter.”

“It seems I underestimated the opponent.”

At this moment, Yifeisi behaved quite like a child being educated by a parent, very modest.

He had no doubt about his elder brother’s estimate and even felt some relief: if the other party had power on the level of Sister Fen, he would certainly not get away unscathed.

But then again, worthy of the Dragon Emperor—his ability to foresee things truly amazed me.

“Big Brother, did you know the opponent’s strength beforehand that you personally went to intercept?” Yifeisi asked curiously.

“You overestimate me. I didn’t know.”

“Eh? Then why did Big Brother suddenly want to go there? Worried about little sister?” A hint of confusion crept into Yifeisi’s voice.

“Sort of. But mainly it was the Arbitration Saint’s instruction, telling me to eliminate that extraterrestrial Battle Sovereign.”

As he said this, the Dragon Emperor’s brow twitched, but quickly returned to normal.

“The Arbitration Saint’s instruction?? The Saint hasn’t appeared for thousands of kalpas (one kalpa being about three years), and now she shows up?” Yifeisi’s tone unconsciously carried a bit of surprise.

“Yes. She even came here specifically. I’m certain that spiritual power attribute belonged to the Arbitration Saint, no mistake.”

“This… is too unbelievable.” Yifeisi exclaimed.

His shock was not without reason.

The Battle Sovereign-level beings created by the Mother Goddess were divided into three categories: the seven Primordial Battle Sovereigns responsible for eliminating the Outer Realms, the Five Realm Beasts that maintain cosmic balance, and the three Saints who convey the Creator’s will.

Among them, the existence of the three Saints was vastly different from the other two types. Each generation of Saints was hidden among the intelligent beings of the Origin Star Universe, and the Saints themselves often did not even know their identities. Only when the Creator had new instructions would the Saints appear. Also, they did not have the power and longevity of other Battle Sovereigns; when their lives ended, they would be replaced.

Since they represented the will of the Mother Goddess, they often received even greater respect than the Primordial Battle Sovereigns.

However, now that the Creator was almost completely asleep, the Saints had not appeared before the world for a long time.

So now…

“The Arbitration Saint’s instruction means it’s the Mother Goddess’s will. Is the Mother Goddess also worried about little sister’s situation? Then, Big Brother, did you take care of that guy?” Yifeisi asked casually, but inwardly he had already taken it as a fact that the extraterrestrial Battle Sovereign was eliminated. Now he was just confirming, since with the Dragon Emperor’s strength, plus the Saint’s instruction, that invader was surely doomed.

But unexpectedly,

the Dragon Emperor did not immediately answer. He didn’t even react, as if he had fallen asleep lying there. Yifeisi’s question was like a breeze passing through, not stirring a single ripple.

??? This caught Yifeisi off guard.

Could he have failed?

Not very likely…

Although curious about what happened,

seeing no intention from the Dragon Emperor to answer or explain, and out of absolute trust in his elder brother, Yifeisi decided not to press further.

Perhaps Big Brother has his own thoughts, or maybe it’s inconvenient to tell me.

Meanwhile, the seemingly sleeping Dragon Emperor had sunk into deep memories and worries.

This incident had also caught the most revered Battle Sovereign off guard.

“Mother Goddess, what exactly are you thinking?” The Dragon Emperor asked his question in his heart towards the Heart of the World Tree, hoping the sleeping Mother Goddess would give him an answer.

But he was disappointed again.

Flashback,

Eastern Chaotic Zone.

Seeing the purple-haired girl he had knocked down onto the planet, the Dragon Emperor did not intend to give her any chance to catch her breath. Spreading his dragon wings covered with blood-red dark flames, he dove straight towards the ground.

The violent dragon phantom oppressed the planet, making it hard to breathe.

The massive, terrifying aura made the entire earth tremble.

Yet the Dragon Emperor noticed

that in the face of such pressure, the purple-haired girl, already like a candle in the wind, did not choose to use her remaining strength to flee. Instead, she resolutely launched another attack at him.

Her indomitable spirit truly earned his admiration.

Recalling the previous battle, the Dragon Emperor indeed found something strange. The purple-haired girl’s behavior was completely different from ordinary extraterrestrial Battle Sovereigns—not as mad and bloodthirsty.

Most importantly, the purple-haired girl seemed to possess a certain degree of emotion.

For a moment, the Dragon Emperor even wanted to try to communicate with her.

But unfortunately, he had already received an instruction from the Mother Goddess, so she had to be eliminated.

However,

just as the Dragon Emperor’s dragon claw, wrapped in infernal flames, was about to touch the purple-haired girl and annihilate her,

an unexpected, divine, kind, yet dignified voice abruptly sounded in the Dragon Emperor’s mind.

“Let her go, Jin.”

A voice he hadn’t heard for thousands of years, yet it still easily touched his heartstrings. Instantly, the Dragon Emperor was filled with unparalleled astonishment.

Mother Goddess?!
