“Yes, Master…” responding respectfully, the Red Dragon Queen once again began channeling her Spiritual Energy.

*Booooom…* The sky roared with the force of a raging river as Spiritual Energy surged wildly.

Moments later, dark red Spiritual Energy, resembling blazing flames, began to spread, enveloping the Red Dragon Queen in a swirling tornado.

At that moment…

“By the ancient contract, we, the Red Dragon Queen, hereby form a covenant with His Eminence today… From now on, so long as His Eminence lives, so do we…”

…

Ancient phrases echoed through the void, spoken in a language unfamiliar to Yu Zi Yu.

This was the Dragon Tongue, a language of higher power.

Legends said it resonated with Heaven and Earth, making it easier to channel one’s Spiritual Energy through its chants.

With each spoken word, the world trembled, and day turned to night.

Simultaneously, a massive crimson blaze erupted in the sky, with waves of surging crimson flames spreading outward in all directions.

However, this was merely the… beginning, just the beginning.

“We, the Red Dragon Queen, humbly request to form this contract…”

As her voice fell, to Yu Zi Yu’s astonishment, a massive Magic Circle with a diameter of 3,000 meters began to manifest above them, with him and the Red Dragon Queen at its center.

It was intricate and profound, and drawn with flame-like energy. At its center was a symbol resembling an ancient hexagram…But, upon closer inspection, the hexagram held countless smaller, complex patterns that flickered continuously.

“What an extraordinary ceremony…” Observing the rare phenomenon, a hint of curiosity flashed on Yu Zi Yu’s face.

Just then, lifting his gaze, Yu Zi Yu noticed golden droplets of blood falling from the Red Dragon Queen’s right claw.

*Drip…* The drop fell at the center of the Magic Circle, creating ripples like on the surface of a lake. Immediately, flames surged even more intensely, growing hotter and stronger.

At the same time, Yu Zi Yu’s body trembled slightly as an indescribable heat surged within him.

Looking down, Yu Zi Yu saw flames rising from beneath his feet, with a faint silhouette of a Giant Dragon forming within the flames.

“Am I supposed to touch its forehead?” Seeing the pleading expression on the Dragon’s face, formed within the sea of flames, an impulse began to rise within his heart.

Lifting his finger, he gently pressed it against the Dragon’s forehead.

*Boooooom…* Instantly, just as Yu Zi Yu’s finger touched the Dragon’s forehead, his very Soul trembled.

At the same time, the scarlet flames around him surged violently, while the 3,000-meter-wide Magic Circle erupted in full force.

In the blink of an eye, a crimson pillar of fire, 3,000 meters in diameter, shot into and pierced through the sky.

…

“What’s that?” Far off in the distance, White Tiger, who had been in seclusion, was startled by the sudden crimson pillar rising into the sky. Without hesitation, he spread his wings.

*Boom…* With a loud roar, a white storm erupted around him, forcing countless trees to bow in its wake.

…

At the same time…

“The Dragon Clan’s aura…” muttering to himself in a resonant voice, Little Tenth, residing in a secluded corner of the Realm of Life known as ‘Lightning Gorge,’ slowly lifted his head.

Gazing at the crimson pillar piercing the sky, a knowing look flickered in his eyes. “I see.”

Just as these words reverberated, silver bolts of lightning began streaking across the sky as dark clouds rolled in.

*Crack!* Suddenly, with a deafening thunderclap, a bolt of lightning suddenly tore through the sky, splitting it in twain.

…

Compared to strong Transcendents located far away like White Tiger and Little Tenth, the Transcendents in the vicinity of Yu Zi Yu, like Nine Tails, Ling Er, Behemoth, and others, had already quietly gathered nearby, watching intently.

“What’s Master doing!?”  Ling Er, who had just returned, asked in surprise.

“He’s forming a contract with a Dragon. I didn’t expect the commotion to be this grand.” Explained Nine Tails, gazing at the towering pillar of flames, lost in thought.

Vaguely, she could see countless flames intertwining, forming the image of a massive flaming Dragon roaring toward the sky.

However, while Nine Tails was deep in thought, a nearby young man in crimson armor seemed to have a clearer understanding of the situation.

It was Long Shao, the first person in Misty Mountains to form a contract with a Dragon.

Though the Dragon he had formed a contract with was merely a Soul, now residing in the Artifact—Inferno Dragon Scale Armor, in a way, he was a Dragon knight too.

But compared to others, his case was slightly unique.

“Heh, it looks like Misty Mountains is about to welcome its second Dragon knight.” Long Shao sheepishly smiled, his voice carrying a hint of anticipation.

“I can sense it… this newly-born Dragon Knight will be extraordinary.” A resonant voice echoed in the air. Faintly, one could see a phantom of Dragon Head manifesting on the crimson-armored youth’s shoulder, gazing at the sky with an indescribable sense of gravity and awe.

“A master-servant contract, and not just any contract. Such an extraordinary phenomenon can only occur when one party possesses far superior strength compared to the other.”

“A master-servant contract allows the exchange of some of their racial abilities. However, if there’s a significant disparity in strength, the weaker party, upon receiving a portion of the stronger party’s abilities, undergoes a dramatic metamorphosis, creating an impressive spectacle. In other words, the Red Dragon Queen, one of the three Dragon Kings of Dragon Island in Elysia, is going to undergo a profound transformation simply from acquiring a fraction of her partner’s power.”

[Are you kidding me? Just sharing a sliver of power has caused a Demigod to undergo such a transformation? Then how powerful must the other party be?]

As a matter of fact, Long Shao had participated in the conquest of Dragon Island.

Thus, the Dragon Soul was quite familiar with the aura of the Red Dragon Queen..

Upon sensing her aura, he instantly recognized this Dragon King from Dragon Island.

However, after a brief moment of realization, the expression of the Dragon Soul changed slightly. “Is it the Divine Tree…!? Only the Divine Tree would possess the kind of power that could cause the Red Dragon Queen to evolve merely by sharing a part of its strength…”

“But, why would such a great being as the Divine Tree Form a contract with a mere Demigod?” murmuring in confusion, the Dragon’s phantom wore a look of deep bewilderment.

Silavin: ‘By the ancient contract, we, the Red Dragon Queen, hereby form a covenant with His Eminence today… From now on, so long as His Eminence lives, so do we…’

Not sure why it is we. Just translating it for what it is.
