Chapter 1015: Scourge Dragon Nihil
Tang San conveyed all of this to the Sunborne Nymph Emperor via divine consciousness, so the Scourge Dragon couldn't hear any of it.
After listening to his explanation, the Sunborne Nymph Emperor couldn't help but say, "I have to reevaluate you... again. Your perception, insight, and execution far exceed my original expectations. If you can fully subdue this Scourge Dragon, then I really have to start considering that you might have what it takes to win the Battle for the Throne."
Tang San grinned. "It was only possible thanks to your help. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to suppress it. I would've had to rely on the collar to slowly work on it, and even assuming I succeeded, I wouldn't have made it in time for it to play any role in the tournament. This was all thanks to you. That's why I am saying I'm a member of the Sunborne team."
The Sunborne Nymph Emperor gave him a long, deep look and suddenly said, "You know, my rational side tells me there's a lot more to you than meets the eye. In fact, I feel like I'm bargaining with the devil . But my instincts tell me you're not a threat, or at least, I don't sense any malice from you. Jin Miaolin, remember this: No matter what happens in the future, whether or not you become an Emperor, you are part of the Solstice Empire. Even if you someday choose neutrality. Also, remember what you said today and the promise you made to me. Whatever I've given you, I can take back just as easily."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Tang San replied with a respectful bow. Of course, what he thought to himself was entirely different. Once I become an Emperor... you can try to take away my things. Let's see how that works for you.
"Well then, I've done all I can for you. Head back on your own now," said the Sunborne Nymph Emperor, giving Tang San one last look before disappearing in a flash of golden-red light.
Watching him vanish into the distant sky, Tang San gently patted the Scourge Dragon's horn. "This plane really is blessed. To think there's even pure annihilation power here! Though it's not quite as high-level or refined as the one you can see in a divine realm, if it's cultivated properly, it could definitely become a cornerstone of a future divine realm on this plane. By the way, Brother Dragon, do you have a name?"
The massive head shook slightly, then let out a low growl.
Tang San could sense the Scourge Dragon's thoughts. He hadn't had an easy life; quite on the contrary.[1]
The Scourge Dragon let out a low growl, clearly in agreement.
With this, the frenzied beast was gone, and Scourge Dragon Nihil was born!
