*Roooooooaar…* A sorrowful Dragon Roar had barely echoed when it was abruptly cut off.

Accompanying this, a Dragon Soul, miniature version of the Golden Dragon King, rose from his carcass. However, before the Dragon Soul could fully manifest, another silver flash zoomed through the void.

Tearing through the space, the flying dagger, with a glimmering tear-like gem on its blade, embedded itself perfectly in the center of the Dragon Soul’s brow.

*Roooooooaar…* Another heart-wrenching Dragon Roar echoed through the void, the last echoes of its lament. This was the end—his final cry.

With his consciousness completely erased by Yu Zi Yu’s flying dagger, what remained was pure mass of Soul Energy.

This was the gift Yu Zi Yu had prepared for Ling Er. The complete Soul of a Superior Race, a Dragon no less, was bound to elevate the quality of Ling Er’s Soul significantly.

Smiling to himself, Yu Zi Yu extended a branch, absorbing the Soul Energy left behind by the Golden Dragon King.

Soon, an endless stream of Soul energy flowed along the branch, moving toward Ling Er, who was still sitting in the starry sky, nestled within Yu Zi Yu’s branches.

“Well!?” Waking up in a daze, Ling Er looked around in confusion.

The next moment, the branch, which was gently cradling her like a swing, caught her eyes. It was radiating a golden glow, warm and soothing, evoking an indescribable feeling.

Just by coming in contact with it, Ling Er felt a tremor through her entire being, as if she was bathing in a hot spring.

“Master, this is…” Ling Er, seemingly noticing what it was, exclaimed in surprise, her voice trembling with excitement..

“This is your gift—a Soul of a Demigod. Absorb it well and don’t let my efforts go to waste.” As Yu Zi Yu spoke, his branch trembled slightly, as more Soul Energy surged through the branch, flowing into Ling Er.

In an instant, she was bathed in golden light. Subtly, the shadow of a giant Golden Dragon began to emerge behind her.

…

Meanwhile, the Realm of Void, this place of exile had fallen into a deathly silence.

As the Divine Ability—Dark Domain dissipated, everyone imprisoned within the Realm of Void witnessed the moment when a streak of silver light burst forth from Yu Zi Yu, slaying the Golden Dragon King.

The sight filled them with terror. An overwhelming sense of fear and dread spread throughout the entire Realm of Void.

“So, he’s finally making his move on us…” With a bitter voice, the Red Dragon Queen’s eyes dimmed with resignation.

At that moment, as if unsatisfied, Yu Zi Yu’s voice echoed once more through the Small World, “Wow, this carcass is quite a treasure. The Dragon Horns alone can be forged into two Tier-5 Artifacts… The Dragon Scales and Dragon Hide can be used to craft heaps of Tier-5 Spirit Armors…”

Each declaration sent chills down the spines of all who heard. Even the prisoners held deep within the Realm of Void could not help but tremble with fear.

And then, as their anxiety reached its peak, Yu Zi Yu’s sharp and menacing gaze turned toward the Red Dragon Queen. “So, will you submit? Or face destruction?”

His voice was calm, almost casual. But when combined with the memory of how Yu Zi Yu’s branches had meticulously dismembered the Golden Dragon King, sparing not even a drop of blood, a wave of indescribable pressure came bearing down on the Red Dragon Queen.

Fear, pure, bone-chilling fear, surged from the depths of her Soul, freezing her entire being.

At this moment, the Red Dragon Queen felt a sensation she had not experienced in ages slowly rising in her heart—fear.

“I… will submit…” Two years of imprisonment, the sight of the Golden Dragon King’s carcass, and Yu Zi Yu’s overwhelming power had ultimately condensed into three words, echoing through the void.

It was not until she uttered these words that the Red Dragon Queen felt a weight lift from her body. Upon closer inspection, she realized her body was drenched in cold sweat.

“You know how to assess the situation, at least.” Remarking with a soft chuckle, a figure suddenly emerged in the void.

Looking towards the source, it was a handsome young elf. This was none other than Yu Zi Yu’s Void Elf Form.

The switching between his forms—whether it was the Azure Dragon or the Void Elf—was a way for Yu Zi Yu to temper his Soul.

Now…

*Tap…* Taking a step forward, Yu Zi Yu, controlling his Elf Form, walked slowly towards the Red Dragon Queen.

In fact, the Red Dragon Queen was strikingly beautiful. Unlike the bulky, lizard-like appearance typical of most Giant Dragons, she had a sleek and perfect body. Dark Red Dragon Scales covered her abdomen, while lighter red scales adorned the rest of her body. Upon closer inspection, every palm-sized scale had a flame-like shimmer.

Her features were not as rugged as the Golden Dragon King’s. Instead, she appeared delicate and petite.

By the Dragon Clan’s standards of beauty, the Red Dragon Queen would be considered a stunning beauty.

There were also rumors that Dragons possessed the ability to polymorph. Yu Zi Yu thought it might be interesting to have her transform someday to see for himself.

But for now…

*Tap, tap, tap…* Walking steadily through the void, Yu Zi Yu’s foot landed on the back of the Red Dragon Queen. The sensation was like stepping on solid ground, but with a trace of warmth, as comfortable as stepping on smooth jade.

At this moment, as he looked down at the nervous but unresisting Red Dragon Queen, a faint smile crept onto Yu Zi Yu’s face.

Quickening his pace, he walked along the length of her spine toward her head.

Moments later, standing on her head, Yu Zi Yu reached out and grabbed hold of the Red Dragon Queen’s horns.

*Booooom…* Instantly, a surge of crimson flames erupted from her, engulfing Yu Zi Yu’s Elf Form.

“I…” Her voice trembled with tension, laced with fear.

However, Yu Zi Yu did not seem angry. The Dragon Horns were the hardest, yet most sensitive part of a Dragon, forbidden for others to touch. Grabbing the Red Dragon Queen’s horns was akin to touching her Reverse Scale—an act that would normally provoke a fierce reaction.

However, seeing her trembling under his touch, Yu Zi Yu gently patted her horns.

“Let’s go.” Ordering calmly, his Spiritual Energy surged as a green vortex appeared not far from the Red Dragon Queen, radiating an intense vitality.

This was the entrance to the Realm of Life.

This was one of the perks of submitting to Yu Zi Yu; even the place one resided would change.

“Yes, Master…” She replied weakly, suppressing her anxiety. Slowly, the Red Dragon Queen spread her wings and flew toward the vortex.

Just then, a soft chuckle rang in her ears, “When we arrive in the Realm of Life, let’s form a contract. From now on, you’ll follow me… And with this, I suppose I’ll become a legendary Dragon Knight…”

With a playful tone laced with teasing, Yu Zi Yu’s lips curled into a mischievous grin.
