Chen Qingqing learns of a powerful Holy Spirit realm expert in Dongling, potentially complicating their plans. Su Changfeng dismisses the idea of pursuing her romantically, jokingly referencing becoming a stepfather. Meanwhile, You Meng and Yu Changfeng arrive at Chenguang Hall exhausted and report to the Emperor about the battle and the awakening of the Silver Flood Dragon in the Sourceless Forest, which poses a grave threat to the Tianyuan Continent.

The Emperor’s face darkened, sending someone to the Sourceless Forest—without even mentioning the chance of seeing the Silver Flood Dragon—it was surely a path of no return.

To know, in this period, the Sourceless Forest has been constantly in turmoil, even Primordial Masters dare not enter casually, how could those beneath Primordial Masters dare to venture easily?

"Elder You, the Xingluo Secret Scripture says, when the Silver Flood Dragon awakens, the end of the Tianyuan Continent will come unless the Dragon Tamer appears. Yet, what exactly the Dragon Tamer is, is not recorded in the scripture." Originally, this was Xingluo’s secret, but the situation has reached this point, so the Emperor could not conceal it.

"Dragon Tamer?" You Meng naturally did not know such a being existed, she glanced at Yu Changfeng, who merely shook his head.

"This scripture is over a thousand years old, so regarding the existence of the Dragon Tamer, I estimate that only I know of it in the Tianyuan Continent." Seeing the two puzzled, the Emperor took the initiative to explain.

"Does the scripture contain any other records?" You Meng asked.

"The scripture records that making the Silver Flood Dragon sleep again can only be done by the Dragon Tamer, as for others, no mention is made." The Emperor said.

"But we don’t even know what the Dragon Tamer is." You Meng sighed heavily, with just the current clues, it’s impossible to resolve the matters within the Sourceless Forest.

"In the Xingluo secret chamber, there are many Ancient Secret Scriptures; I will seize time to consult them. If there is any record about Dragon Tamers, I will immediately notify both of you." The Emperor said.

You Meng nodded, she did not actively propose going to the Xingluo secret chamber as it was the Emperor’s Forbidden Land. Even though she was a Primordial Master, she couldn’t casually enter.

"Alright, then seize time to consult them, I have a vague feeling that the array within the Sourceless Forest is soon to collapse." You Meng said with a serious expression.

You Meng always has an unpredictable itinerary, enjoying wandering the Four Seas, yet there is a separate courtyard prepared for her here at Chenguang Hall, specially arranged by the Emperor, but You Meng rarely resides here.

This was merely a hope from the Emperor for her to live at Chenguang Hall, even though this did not indeed keep You Meng here.

You Meng is a Primordial Master, just a small courtyard wouldn’t catch her eyes, so how could it restrain her?

"Do you think he can truly find clues about the Dragon Tamer?" In the courtyard, Yu Changfeng watched You Meng and asked.

"I essentially never stayed here; now looking, the environment is indeed excellent." You Meng mused to herself, seemingly having not heard Yu Changfeng’s question.

Indeed, she found this place nice. Previously, when she came, it was always hurried without staying much, but having to stay this time, she noticed the Emperor’s thoughtfulness.

"I think likely not; we never heard of the Dragon Tamer before, so surely, there’s hardly any records about it." Yu Changfeng also didn’t mind, speaking to himself, living so many years, yet never knowing such a matter.

"For some reason, I feel an unclear intuition." You Meng suddenly said.

"Do you think the Dragon Tamer is linked to Su Changfeng?" Yu Changfeng asked, frowning as he looked at her.

"Since you say so, it proves that in your heart, you at least had such a thought as well." Actually, You Meng indeed thought this way, with Su Changfeng suddenly appearing, could such a person really be without secrets? If he was the Dragon Tamer recorded in the Ancient Secret Scripture, then the Silver Flood Dragon suddenly awakening seems traceable.

"True, I had such thoughts too, but what exactly the Dragon Tamer is, we are yet uncertain. Moreover, currently emerging masters are not only Su Changfeng, but also that woman from Wangyun Mountain. In my eyes, actually, that woman’s strength is greater than Su Changfeng." Yu Changfeng said.

You Meng did not refute, nodding solemnly, saying: "You are right, but to truly understand what’s happening, we can only wait patiently."

"Now my worry is being unable to wait until that day; if the array within the Sourceless Forest really collapses, then the Tianyuan Continent will truly be ruined." Yu Changfeng sighed, speaking.

Despite already being a Primordial Master, facing such a powerful Exotic Beast like the Silver Flood Dragon, he was helpless, and moreover, he cherished his little life, wishing to live long-term.

"What use is worrying? Whatever is bound to happen, will happen eventually." You Meng, on the other hand, seemed indifferent, to her, inevitable occurrences simply didn’t require worrying; all they needed was to exert every effort to prevent it from happening.

"If indeed that day comes, we certainly will be thrust into war, do you truly not fear the Silver Flood Dragon?" Yu Changfeng asked puzzledly, watching her. As Primordial Masters of the Tianyuan Continent, in a crisis, naturally, they are the ones who charge first, but the opponent is the Silver Flood Dragon; even if they go, escape from death is impossible.

"The Silver Flood Dragon’s awakening poses a crisis of Tianyuan Continent facing destruction, is this kind of thing that can be solved with fear and avoidance? Do you plan to hide? Then again, even if you do hide, you will eventually die—rather than dying miserably, why not fight a courageous battle?" You Meng said blandly.

Naturally, Yu Changfeng understood, if they indeed hide at the last moment, they will be condemned by everyone. The key is, he cannot survive anyway, once the Silver Flood Dragon leaves the Sourceless Forest, wherever he is, he will eventually be found by the Silver Flood Dragon.

"Do you recall the legend from a thousand years ago?" Yu Changfeng suddenly asked.

"A thousand years ago? What do you mean?" You Meng frowned, asking.

"About the Otherworld affair." Yu Changfeng said.

You Meng suddenly understood, saying: "What do you mean? Are you planning to invade the Otherworld?"

Yu Changfeng nodded, saying: "That’s right, if we can find the Space Tunnel, we can evade the crisis brought by the Silver Flood Dragon. Back then, they planned to leave the Tianyuan Continent because of the Silver Flood Dragon’s awakening."

You Meng nodded without hesitation, saying: "Absolutely not, a thousand years ago, the Tianyuan Continent gathered the power of the Three Kingdoms and still failed. Today, the Three Kingdoms’ strength is far inferior to that time, how could they achieve it?"

Regarding this matter, Yu Changfeng was very aware, all these years, he’s been focusing on that invasion of a thousand years ago, the aim being to find the Space Tunnel and view the Otherworld.

Now already a Primordial Master, the allure of the Tianyuan Continent was diminishing for him.

"You are correct, that battle back then severely drained Tianyuan Continent’s vitality, but likewise for the Otherworld. Records say they also lost many masters; so many years passed, the Tianyuan Continent hasn’t recovered, surely the Otherworld is the same, maybe even worse off. This presents a chance; once we find the Space Tunnel, we can survive." Yu Changfeng said.
