This discovery was definitely an unexpected gain for Shen Yuan.

And according to the system’s feedback, Shen Yuan began to notice some previously undiscovered issues.

“The Earthly Destroyer Divine Power doesn’t seem to be a simple magic technique anymore, it’s closer to some sort of rules.

If the previous master of the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power does not die, even the system cannot forcibly claim the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power. The previous incident of Rain Conjuring Divine Power being controlled by Prince Ji Du is an example.

Once the master of the Divine Skills falls, by opening the Divine Ability Compendium, you can use the power of the Earthly Destroyer to reassemble the Divine Capacity Seed.

It cannot be taken while the master is alive, but will return to nature after their death.

To some extent, the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power seems to have a certain uniqueness.”

Upon pondering this, Shen Yuan immediately recalled the incident where the millennia-old dream of the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch had collapsed as soon as he had comprehended the Rain Calling Divine Ability.

The Yunmeng Dragon Monarch, relying on the broken Heavenly General Great Divine Power, was able to maintain his dream for thousands of years, even in an era of Spirit Energy depletion.

“If a mere fragment of the Heavenly General Great Divine Power can defy the depletion of Spirit Energy, to what incredible extent can the complete Heavenly General Great Divine Power reach?”

Shen Yuan’s mind was agitated with excitement.

However, Shen Yuan was also aware that he now only had half of the Heavenly General Great Divine Power. His cultivation progress was barely reaching the first step, relying solely on the insights gifted by the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch.

There was a long way to go before complete mastery, let alone restoring the Heavenly General Great Divine Power.

“I should not be overambitious for now.”

With a sigh in his heart, Shen Yuan, who had sorted out the gains of this journey, descended from mid-air and landed on the shore of Lake Dongting, which had returned to tranquility.

The Maine Coon cat in the distance, which had been peeping for a long time, immediately dashed over to Shen Yuan. Her big face was full of excitement. ’ “Congratulations on slaying the evil dragon, sir, and protecting millions of people in the Dongting waters!”

Shen Yuan simply gave a faint smile, not really appreciating the cat’s compliments.

No matter whether it was the slaying of the Fubo Dragon Monarch or the defeat of Prince Ji Du, Shen Yuan never really considered himself a saviour who should save the common people.

His choices were more about following his own heart.

If he scorned the Fubo Dragon Monarch’s flooding of Yunmeng Village, he would slay him with a single sword!

If he loathed Prince Ji Du taking over Yunmeng Swampland and usurping the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch’s position, he would also slay him with a single sword!

He didn’t let outside opinion influence him and acted on his own heart. This was the path of carefree longevity that Shen Yuan sought.

Compared to the Maine Coon’s somewhat immature flattery, what Shen Yuan cared more about were the two little ones who had helped him earlier.

Looking at the surface of Lake Dongting, Shen Yuan softly said,

“You can come out now!”

With a surge of waves, a golden light emerged within Shen Yuan’s field of vision, which was none other than the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch’s son, the pangolin.

Next to him, Bai Xue, the little cat, stood on the waves with her small head held high, looking quite pleased with herself.

The pangolin was still carrying that broken seal.

Shen Yuan recognized it at a glance. It was the dragon seal representing the waters of the ancient Yunmeng Swampland.

However, after that battle, the dragon palace of Yunmeng was destroyed and the Dragon Monarch fell, naturally, the dragon seal was greatly affected.

The dragon sculpture on top of the seal had been largely destroyed, and the water area picture scroll drawn on all sides became fuzzy.

Only the central drawing, symbolizing the current location of Lake Dongting, sparkled with a faint glow, representing the authority of the pangolin in the present day.

Indeed, it was thanks to this Yunmeng Dragon Seal that the pangolin was able to become the ruler of Lake Dongting so smoothly and become the first Lake Dongting’s Dragon Sovereign in thousands of years.

The other Aquatic Tribes who wish to seize Lake Dongting would have to go through layers of intense battles.

Even the Prince Ji Du would have to strategize for a 300-mile water area before he could forcefully invade Lake Dongting, not at all as effortless as the pangolin.

Shen Yuan remembered clearly when the pangolin, with the aid of Lake Dongting’s tidal power, tackled the Muddy Water True Dragon, who commanded a 300 miles water territory, solving a considerable trouble for him.

Initially, catching the pangolin was entirely accidental, and bringing the pangolin out of the dream world was an obligation from Yunmeng Dragon Monarch. He didn’t take it to heart at all.

Unexpectedly, this unintentional act brought such benefits. Shen Yuan couldn’t help but praise the pangolin’s smooth head:

“What a clever little guy!”

The pangolin became even more excited upon hearing this, constantly waving its tail, slapping the waves beneath it.

Bai Xue, who sat proudly aside with her head held high, was suddenly dumbfounded; her heartfelt words were stuck in her mouth, unable to be spoken out.

“Why praise this dumb fish? It was my idea!”

“Without intelligent me, could this stupid fish have ruled Lake Dongting so soon?

I guided it to manipulate the tidal power to confront the flood. This silly idiot didn’t even know its way around. How could it possibly accomplished such a formidable task!”

Bai Xue felt a churning frustration.

When Shen Yuan entered the Dragon Sovereign Temple, Bai Xue’s innate ability indicated the great danger lurking in the temple.

Bai Xue was well aware that she and the Maine Coon couldn’t help directly, thus tried to find a way to solve the flood problem.

Just then, Bai Xue’s innate ability sensed the pangolin swimming around the lake bank.

Yu Changhu had to report to the provincial government office, which meant he couldn’t take the pangolin along. He had no choice but to return it to Lake Dongting.

Given the pangolin, being a True Dragon’s innate talent, even a Qi training Great Demon couldn’t catch it in Lake Dongting, making it a safe refuge.

Seeing the pangolin in Lake Dongting, Bai Xue immediately had an idea.

Her innate ability had seen the pangolin shimmer in treasure light after leaving the dreamworld, which must be Yunmeng Dragon Monarch’s relics. Maybe they could help Shen Yuan.

So, she first arrived at the lakeside, threatening and enticing the pangolin with the danger she’s in.

Threatened by Bai Xue, the pangolin chose to back down and readily handed over Yunmeng Dragon Monarch’s many relics, which included the broken Yunmeng Dragon Seal.

With the Yunmeng Dragon Seal, Bai Xue then used her inherited knowledge to guide the pangolin to rule Lake Dongting.

As Lake Dongting had no master and the pangolin, as a true dragon, held the Yunmeng Dragon Seal, its success was not surprising.

After the pangolin’s success, Bai Xue also sensed the rise of the flood, so she let the pangolin control the tidal power to assist Shen Yuan.

From Bai Xue’s point of view, she was the one who made the most significant contribution in helping Shen Yuan defeat the evil dragon, thus she should be the one to be praised.

However, the silly fish got the praise while she, the one who made significant contributions, was completely ignored by Shen Yuan.

Bai Xue’s proud head gradually drooped, her ears were listless, her large, different-colored eyes welled up with tears like a pitiful little kitten that was abandoned.

Just then, a warm palm gently picked up the little kitten and put her in his embrace.

“Of course, our Bai Xue is also brilliant!”
