--- Chapter 169 ---
The Abyssal White Dragon stared at Han Yuan calmly, "As for the second request, I wish you could find my brother."
"That's it?" Han Yuan was surprised by the Abyssal White Dragon's simple request. At first, he expected something cliché like 'you must protect my dragon clan,' or 'you mustn't be my clan's enemy.' Yeah, something like that.
However, this request is simpler than that.
Han Yuan even deduced whose the Abyssal White Dragon's dragon was, considering this dragon was the offspring of the Light Dragon King and the Darkness Dragon King.
On the Douluo Continent, there is only one dragon that fits the criteria.
Number one in the future Ten Ferocious Beasts list, Beast God, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian!
The Abyssal White Dragon narrowed its eyes, "What do you mean by that's it?"
"Nothing." Han Yuan shrugged, not wanting to give too much. While he was giving the Abyssal White Dragon a chance to follow him, he didn't want this dragon to become ungrateful and take things for granted.
Holding an incentive is beneficial for Han Yuan, giving him the advantage to rein in this emotional dragon.
What, you call this dirty?
Nah, Han Yuan is just patient and has a functioning brain.
Anyone close to Han Yuan knew just how patient he was in dealing with people, both good and bad, and how he struck them at their most vulnerable moment.
He's both sunshine and darkness.
Han Yuan calmly stared at the Abyssal White Dragon, "I agree to your two requests."
"So, from now on, you're my follower."
"Do you have a name?"
"Di Yating." The Abyssal White Dragon replied somewhat weakly.
Upon hearing this name, Han Yuan nodded inwardly because it seemed Di Tian was the Abyssal White Dragon's brother.
"Wait, you're a female?" Then, he realized something.
The Abyssal White Dragon scowled unhappily at Han Yuan, "Do you have a problem with that? Whether I am female or not doesn't really matter."
"What matters in this situation is your strength and goal."
"That's true, I guess." Han Yuan was speechless. Even though the Abyssal White Dragon said so, having her in his mind (spiritual sea) would be, how to say it, unique.
While Han Yuan has contracted the Neru (Heavenly Horned Ant), she has remained quiet and has not spoken a word so far.
However, he believed the Abyssal White Dragon wouldn't be so.
The Abyssal White Dragon also put Han Yuan into a dilemma, as the only free spirit ring slot he had was the Clear Sky Ant King and the incomplete cloud martial souls.
Han Yuan glanced at Qian Renxue, who was coming to his side, and asked, "Are you alright?"
Qian Renxue nodded, "Mm."
Honestly, Qian Renxue doesn't know what to say to Han Yuan. That last attack was beyond her understanding because all she could hear was a finger snap, and everything turned to rubble.
Thankfully. Qian Renxue possesses the "invincibility" spirit skill, which protects her life, making her immune to all types of attacks for a brief moment.
There is also a wisp of Angel God's divine power that her grandfather left behind in case of emergency.
Qian Renxue stared at Han Yuan, feeling helpless and admiration for this young man. It's hard to believe he was ten years younger than her and already possessed such power.
She recalled herself saying she would catch up to him, and now it feels like a slap on her face.
Qian Renxue was extremely embarrassed inside, especially when facing Han Yuan now. She felt like a clown.
However, she also felt great for some reason. After all, it seemed she was the only outsider that Han Yuan ever shared his secret with.
'Trust, yes, that's right. He trusted me!' Qian Renxue stared at Han Yuan with a kind gaze.
Han Yuan was confused by Qian Renxue's gaze and said, "It's good that you're fine."
"We should probably get out of this place. Atomic Dismantling has ripped the domain apart, so we couldn't hide what happened here at all."
Di Yating rolled her eyes and mumbled, "You're saying that as if you're not the one causing it."
"Do you say something, my new follower?" Han Yuan narrowed his eyes on the bound dragon.
"Nothing." Di Yating faked it immediately. She agreed to follow Han Yuan and become his loyal supporter, but she never said she liked him.
'Hmph, you're still too green, boy!'
Even then, Di Yating was bound to fail soon.
Crack!
Kacha!
The sound of glass-breaking appeared in the crater as a golden flame abruptly burst before their very eyes.
BOOOOOOOM!!
A golden barrier rapidly enveloped the whole area, and Han Yuan could sense immense vitality pumped from the deep ground, repairing all kinds of damage he had done.
Trees started growing again.
Blue silver grass covered the ground again.
And the water slowly covered the evaporated lake, becoming even richer with a hint of green.
Qian Renxue grabbed Han Yuan's arms and asked, "What happened? How could this place recover this quickly?"
"It's not me." Han Yuan replied calmly, using his Eyes of Truth to see the secret behind this golden flame.
"I-Impossible! How could the plane's consciousness appear here?" Di Yating was speechless. "Isn't it supposed to be born in another ten thousand years?"
"Plane's consciousness?" Han Yuan finally put the pieces together and gave the golden flame a weird look.
The God of Destruction already told Han Yuan that the Douluo Planet had developed a consciousness. He even instructed him to communicate with it because the Son of Destiny and the Plane are 'naturally' connected.
Seeing the golden flame covered after his destruction, the statement is obviously true.
After the area somewhat returned to normal and the lake was full of water again, the golden flame flew toward Han Yuan excitedly. One could see the giddiness from the amount of sparks coming from it.
"We finally met, Son of Destiny!" The golden flame said in a neutral voice, which was hard to identify. "It's very nice to meet you."
Han Yuan nodded, "Likewise."
"I didn't expect we would meet like this."
"I thought I'd be the one looking for you."
The golden flame flickered slightly, "That would be too slow. The Douluo Planet couldn't wait anymore."
"The Son of Corruption has arrived, and I couldn't wait for him to grow and destroy this world."
Di Yating trembled slightly, "How is that even impossible? The Son of Corruption would only appear to destroy a plane if that plane was on the verge of destruction."
"The Douluo Planet is obviously fine. Before I fell asleep, I didn't detect any abnormality."
"What is Son of Corruption?" Qian Renxue was the only one confused here.
Before the golden flame could reply, Di Yating already answered Qian Renxue's question with a solemn expression, "The Son of Corruption is a parasite. They are capable of sucking luck and resources of a plane to strengthen themselves, eventually destroying the said plane."
"According to the development of this planet, such a being wouldn't be able to be born. After all, the Dragon Clan once stood here and had already eradicated the Son of Corruption many years ago."
"The Son of Corruption must be killed at all costs, otherwise..."
"The Douluo Planet will cease to exist!"
"This is..." Qian Renxue paled. She couldn't imagine a single person could cause such chaos.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." The golden flame came closer and perched on Han Yuan's shoulder. "As long as the Son of Destiny and Son of Plane cooperate, we can easily solve the Son of Corruption."
Han Yuan glanced at the golden flame, "Hmm, since I am the Son of Destiny."
"Who is this Son of Plane?"
The golden flame was confused by Han Yuan's question before pointing at Qian Renxue, "Isn't she the Son of Plane?"
"What?!" Qian Renxue and Di Yating shouted in disbelief.
"..." Han Yuan's mouth twitched.
Damn, what a coincidence!
