The dizziness from the spatial-temporal shift gradually subsided.

Gu Xing and Sally steadied themselves and realized they were in a familiar place.

The air was filled with pure and intense dragon energy.

In the distance, mountains undulated, with jade palaces occasionally visible between them.

It was undoubtedly Dragon Island, floating high above the sky.

But unlike the ruins of Dragon Island that Gu Xing remembered, which collapsed after a great battle.

The Dragon Island before them was full of vitality and peacefulness.

"Is this... Dragon Island?"

A trace of surprise flickered in Sally's eyes as she sensed the surrounding Time Law.

"But the timeline... seems to have gone back ten thousand years."

Gu Xing nodded slightly, his feelings were clearer.

Although it's the same Dragon Island.

The spiritual energy content of this era's Dragon Island far exceeded that of the future.

Moreover, the world lacked the dark feeling of demonic qi erosion found in later generations.

Since they were on Dragon Island, Gu Xing decided to first seek out the Dragon Emperor.

After all, as the leader of the Dragon Race, finding him would...

Make it much easier to gather information about this world or to search for the Divine Pattern of the Time Spirit Race.

Just then:

A childish voice filled with curiosity and caution suddenly sounded from behind a giant rock not far away:

"Hey! Who are you? How did you break into Dragon Island?!"

Gu Xing and Sally looked towards the voice.

There they saw a little girl about seven or eight years old, delicate like a porcelain doll.

Peeking timidly from behind the large rock.

She was wearing a finely crafted, petite palace outfit, her bright golden hair like spun sunlight, styled into two adorable buns.

Most eye-catching of all, on her forehead grew a pair of tiny, translucent dragon horns like carved white jade.

Behind her trailed a similarly delicate, slightly restless golden dragon tail.

The little girl opened her big, pure golden eyes, curiously scrutinizing Gu Xing and Sally, especially focusing on their heads and behind them:

"Strange... you have no horns on your heads, no tails behind... you're not of the Dragon Race?"

"Then how did you get here?"

Though young, the dragon princess's regal bearing was already emerging.

She put her hands on her hips, trying hard to present a serious little adult image:

"This is the Forbidden Land of the Dragon Race, outsiders are not allowed in! Tell me quickly, how did you get past the other dragons to come here?!"

Gu Xing, looking at this familiar little figure before him, was taken aback.

It was clearly Long Qingyan in her childhood!

But she seemed different from the cool and powerful figure of the future.

At this moment, her eyes were pure and innocent, never having been through worldly affairs.

Seeing that Gu Xing didn't respond, only giving a complicated look, Xiao Qingyan got a bit upset.

She felt ignored.

Puffing up her cheeks, she squeaked:

"Not talking? Then you're a bad guy! Take this!"

Before the words even finished, her small figure transformed into a golden light, darting toward Gu Xing as quick as lightning!

Though young, as a member of the Dragon Race.

She already possessed Monarch Level power!

Thus, her attack carried considerable force, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom!

However.

Even in his current spirit state, Gu Xing's power had reached Totem Level.

His mastery over power and understanding of the Law were far beyond young Long Qingyan's capabilities.

Faced with this aggressive strike, Gu Xing didn't even step aside.

He simply raised his hand, extending his index finger, and with a gentle flick on the little one's forehead.

"Thunk!"

A crisp sound.

"Ouch!"

Xiao Qingyan's forward momentum abruptly halted, feeling an irresistibly gentle force on her forehead.

It wasn't painful, but it made her dizzy.

She staggered back several steps, plopping down onto the grass, her little dragon horns wobbling.

Covering her forehead, she lifted her face, her golden eyes instantly filled with tears, and pouted:

"You... you're a bully!"

Gu Xing, looking at the Little Dragon Maiden who seemed about to cry sitting on the ground, found it a bit amusing.

How could young Long Qingyan have this kind of personality.

But this was the Dragon Emperor's daughter after all; he couldn't really bully the little one.

Shortly, Gu Xing took a step forward, bent down, and looked into her eyes, speaking calmly:

"We're not bad people, we're here to find the Dragon Emperor! Will you take us to meet your father?"

Xiao Qingyan originally wanted to act tough, but meeting Gu Xing's deep, star-like eyes.

She inexplicably felt a sense of obedience.

She pursed her lips, holding back her tears, and muttered softly:

"You're looking for Father? Humph... who knows if you're lying..."

But she honestly got up from the ground, patted the grass off her dress, and sneaked a peek at Gu Xing.

"...Follow me then! But Father is very busy, whether or not he sees you is not up to me."

With that, she turned around, reluctantly leading the way with her short steps.

Sally watched this scene from the side, her pupils showing disbelief.

It seems her master was particularly skilled at handling little girls!

Under the Little Dragon Maiden's lead, the two traversed through layers of palace buildings.

The Dragon Race members they encountered along the way, seeing the little princess with two unfamiliar auras, looked surprised.

But feeling the unfathomable aura emanating from Gu Xing and the "don't worry about it" look from the little princess, they wisely chose to ignore them.

Eventually, they arrived in front of the grandest, most majestic, and dragon-aura-emanating golden palace.

The palace doors were open, vaguely revealing a towering figure inside the hall, seemingly reviewing something with his back to the entrance.

"Father!"

Xiao Qingyan called out, running in with her short legs, complaining all the way.

"Father! Two strange people broke onto the island! They even... flicked my forehead!"

Gu Xing and Sally followed closely, stepping into the great hall.

Hearing this, the towering figure within the hall slowly turned around.

It was a youthful, yet powerfully authoritative face, emanating pressure as dense as mountains!

It was the young Dragon Emperor!

Seeing his daughter running towards him, a slight smile appeared on his stern face.

He casually picked up Long Qingyan in his arms.

Then, his gaze slowly turned to Gu Xing.

However, on fully seeing Gu Xing, his body suddenly stiffened.

It was as if he had witnessed something incredibly astonishing.

The next moment, he abruptly appeared before Gu Xing.

He sensed that this being carried an aura incongruent with this era.

After careful observation for a moment, the Dragon Emperor spoke slowly, directly revealing Gu Xing's greatest secret:

"You're not from this era?"
