1219 Dragon Goddess Yeyou(2) "Let's say I believe you— that the weak and fragile existence known as humans managed to defeat the somewhat immortal beings known as demons… What does that have to do with me? Why are you standing before me?" Dragon Goddess Yeyou asked the human man standing calmly before her. "Even though humans won the war in the end, it came at a tremendous cost. Countless humans have been tormented, eaten, killed, and experienced unspeakable things. I'm sure the same could be said for beasts, as demons would hunt beasts for fun, almost like a game, something they do to pass time until they grow hungry for humans." "Both humans and beasts suffered greatly from demons, yet we never fought together. I understand that we have our differences, but we could've prevented much tragedy from happening if we did." "Perhaps that is because nobody tried— whether it be due to a lack of courage or something else. Hence why I am here today." Dragon Goddess Yeyou did not respond for a long time. After a long moment of silence, Dragon Goddess Yeyou spoke in a low voice, "So what, you want humans and beasts to hold hands or something?" The human could hear a hint of mockery and disdain within the Dragon Goddess' voice. Not being bothered by it, he spoke, "I am not saying that we should hold hands with each other, but I would like to see a day when humans can approach beasts without fearing for their lives and beasts won't feel threatened by humans when they are approached— just like you and I…" Dragon Goddess Yeyou suddenly burst out laughing, causing the 'world' they were on to shake violently. In fact, her laughter was so strong that if the human hadn't covered himself with spiritual energy, he would've died an explosive death. When she stopped laughing, she spoke, "Even if what you say is true— that humans and beasts do not get along. What can you do to change it? How do you intend on convincing all of the humans to not fear beasts and beasts to not despise humans? That seems like an impossible feat no matter how I think about it." The human shook his head, "I don't need to convince every human and beast. I only need to convince those at the top and everyone else will eventually follow suit. And what could be better than starting from the very peak?" "How about it, Dragon God? Want to work together with me? I'm sure it'll be a whole lot more interesting than sleeping and fighting weaklings all the time." Dragon Goddess Yeyou narrowed her eyes and asked in a cold voice, "You speak as though you know my life." "Well, according to what I've been told, you like to pick fights with other beasts, but because of your unmatched prowess, you have an extremely hard time finding worthy opponents, so you just bully others until you grow tired and sleep, and when you wake up, you will repeat the cycle again and again. If I am wrong, please correct me. I'd like to learn more about a being at the apex of this world." Dragon Goddess Yeyou fell silent and the human could not tell what she was thinking or feeling, but Yuan could, as he was seeing and feeling things from her point of view. He could tell that the Dragon Goddess was embarrassed and angered by the human's words, as he essentially called her lazy and a bully. Even worst, she could not argue back, as what the human said about her was true. Due to her being one of the apex beings in the world, it was pretty much impossible to find someone who could match her prowess, so she is always bored and looking to entertain herself. After finding some beasts to mess around with, she would slumber for thousands of years in hopes of a worthy opponent to appear, and this has been her routine for countless years now. To be reminded of such a miserable life made her embarrassed and angry at the same time. In a slightly trembling voice, Dragon Goddess Yeyou responded, "Very well… if you insist, I will entertain you and your foolish ambitions. However, I will do so only if you can defeat me. Otherwise, you can die here with your ambitions!" Without any other warnings, Dragon Goddess Yeyou's golden eyes began emitting a profound light. Suddenly assaulted by Dragon Goddess Yeyou's Dragon's Gaze, the human directly coughed up a mouthful of blood, but that was not enough to make him collapse. "As expected of the Dragon God…" A slight smile appeared on the human's face as he retrieved a black sword. "But if you want to kill me, you will need to do better than that!" The human swung the sword at Dragon Goddess Yeyou, sending a massive sword light that was fully created from Enhanced Sword Aura at her. Dragon Goddess Yeyou merely scoffed at his attack before swatting the sword light with nothing but her tail, causing the Enhanced Sword Aura to scatter and fly everywhere. The scattered Enhanced Sword Aura poured down the world Dragon Goddess Yeyou was on, creating deep sword cuts everywhere. "You bastard! How dare you damage my bed! Do you have any idea how long it took me to find a world big enough to fit me comfortably?!" Dragon Goddess Yeyou roared in an enraged tone as she uncoiled her massive body from the world that she had been sleeping on, revealing a vast yet completely empty world that only had green grass growing on it. "You can't complain when you're the one who attacked first." The human said as he wiped the blood from his lips. This enraged Dragon Goddess Yeyou even further, but she did not immediately attack him again. She wrapped the end of her tail around the world she called her bed and flicked it, shooting the world millions of miles in the blink of an eye and causing it to disappear into the void. The human couldn't help but chuckle after seeing her actions, "You weren't kidding when you said it was hard to find a suitable bed. I'm not surprised, though, seeing how big you are. Why don't you take the form of a human? It'll be easier for you to move around that way." "You… You insolent human bastard!!!" Dragon Goddess Yeyou felt insulted when the human called her body 'big'. No matter if they are beasts or humans, whether it was true or not, it was taboo to call females 'big'. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂 Meanwhile, the human misunderstood Dragon Goddess Yeyou's anger, thinking that it was due to his suggestion to take the form of a human, as that was unthinkable in their era. For a beast to take the form of a human, it was akin to a human moving and barking like an animal— an insulting act that only those unhealthy in the mind would dare imagine. The human knew this, of course. Despite that, he still suggested it to her for some reason. Following an explosive roar, Dragon Goddess Yeyou proceeded to attack the human seriously this time, marking the beginning of their long battle that would not end for several years.
