The cheers of the people outside gradually subsided. Tension instantly filled the grand hall. The soldiers of the Sky Dragon Organization simultaneously drew their weapons, but none of them dared to act recklessly before Bintang gave an order.“Emperor of the Northeast, I still remember very clearly how you destroyed the reputation of the previous Dragon King at the Nine Nations Peace Summit…” the Goddess of Wealth spoke coldly, great anger rising within her voice.The War Goddess standing beside Bintang clenched her fist as well, her eyes cold as she stared at the man.“Bintang, allow me to throw him out.”However, Bintang merely raised his hand calmly. His face remained expressionless, unmoved by emotion.“Don’t be in such a hurry. You didn’t come here just to offer congratulations. Say your true purpose.”The man from the Northeast narrowed his eyes. His voice lowered, sharper than a blade.“You know very well, Bintang. Amerta once became a declining nation because of our hands.

Amid the long period of peace that had lasted for more than two months in the Spirit Nation’s palace, Bintang and the Sky Dragon Organization continued investigating several groups, including the Information Tower that had once interfered.However, every trace of the problems they had caused seemed completely clean. Even all branches of the Information Tower within the Spirit Nation had vanished, no one knew where they had gone.“Dragon King… Aside from the matter of that white-haired elder, it seems there is no longer any threat capable of endangering your disciple…” Juan said respectfully while bowing to Bintang.Bintang nodded. “In a few days, we will return to the Amerta Nation.”The next day.“Today I announce… the territorial conflict over the border regions initiated by the previous council will be immediately revoked. And as the Emperor of this nation, I will also ensure that from this day forward, the Spirit Nation will form an alliance to strengthen economic sectors, defense

That day became a day no one in the Soul Nation would ever forget. The entire populace filled the streets, watching the grand procession of the coronation of a new Emperor.On the main stage, Kiana wore a white-and-gold robe. Her face was calm, though her heart churned slightly beneath the surface. She gazed far into the crowd, trying to channel the courage her master had always taught her.Bintang stood behind her, together with Tia and Qing Yuan. He did not smile, but the look in his eyes revealed deep pride.The ceremonial rites for the enthronement of the new Emperor began. Everyone watched with anticipation, wondering what steps the new Emperor would take to destroy the chaos that had long shaken the Soul Nation.Then Qing Nan’s voice echoed powerfully as he stirred the spirit of the people.“Long live the Emperor?!”The people answered in unison, their voices resounding throughout the land.“Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!”Yet behind the thunderous cheers, Bintang

Qing Yuan, who had been kneeling with a pale face, tried to straighten his body. Tia supported him carefully, while Lue Yinan had already prepared a healing pill to suppress the internal injury caused by the severed soul bond.Qing Yuan’s face looked weary. His eyes gazed at the figure of his adopted son who had just resolved a crisis for their nation.“It’s a pity… this battle has also taken half of my soul with it… but I can still stand. What matters is… you have already ended it, Bintang.”Bintang nodded.“No, Father. This is not the end. This is only the beginning of the great reckoning we must face.”They all turned toward the massive altar that had been destroyed. The ancient symbols upon it were beginning to fade, as if the Shadow Lord had been the final key that kept them lit. But that destruction also signaled something else—the secret of the discarded bloodline could no longer be hidden.Juan approached, his face serious.“Dragon King… should we report this directly to the C

His hand trembled, the black symbol on his skin glowing. From the surface of the altar, a shadow spear emerged and pierced straight into the body of the human-headed serpent.“GYAAAAAAAH!”The creature roared, its body shaking violently. Silver blood burst from its scales, causing the ground to hiss and smoke. Qing Yuan suddenly winced in pain, his face turning pale as the soul bond with the beast struck back at his own body.“Pfft!!” Qing Yuan staggered, fresh blood spilling from his mouth.Bintang narrowed his eyes. “Father…”But it was too late. The shadow spear trembled once more, and the giant serpent’s body exploded into fragments of silver light that scattered through the air, leaving behind a hiss of suffering.Qing Yuan fell to his knees, his body almost collapsing.“The creature… that accompanied me… all this time… was destroyed just like that…”“Dear… protect your adoptive father. Leave the rest to me!”Tia held Qing Yuan by the shoulder, her eyes trembling with anger. “Alr

This was a personal duel. A duel between two rulers of shadow and the Dragon King.Bintang pressed harder, his sword trembling as he whispered coldly, “I don’t need to kill you quickly. I only want to see the face behind that mask.”With a single surge of force, he blasted his opponent backward. The black mask cracked, half of the face beneath it revealed—pale skin and crimson eyes filled with hatred.“Your name…” Bintang murmured softly. “…You’re not a stranger. You resemble Qing Yuan slightly—you come from the bloodline of this nation.”The Shadow Lord fell silent, then burst into loud laughter. “That’s right! I am the rightful descendant—the blood that should have sat upon the throne! But my ancestors were cast aside, discarded, and hidden. Now I return to claim my right, even if I must do so through darkness!”Bintang exhaled slowly. “Then… there is no peaceful path between us.”The battle erupted once more. The dragon sword clashed against the shadow dagger. Each collision unleas
