"Xuan Ming! You're going too far!"
The shadow of the Ice Dragon King trembled violently, and the ice-blue light around him flickered, as if his mind was disturbed by these straightforward and sharp words. The cold air in his body surged uncontrollably, covering the surrounding grass and trees with a thin layer of frost.
"Too much? Lord Dragon King, is he angry and humiliated?" Xuan Ming's expression remained unchanged.
Facing Qian Renxue, he still had room to play along, but facing the Ice Dragon King, he had no room at all.
He was very clear about this last night when the Ice Dragon King took over his body. The dragon soul power that was integrated into his soul was not only a gift, but also the key that allowed the Ice Dragon King to control him at any time.
If the Ice Dragon King wants to take over his body in the future, he will not be qualified to resist.
It is also because of this that he now even has the idea of giving up.
All your hard work in cultivation will only end up being a favor to others.
"I have never thought of kidnapping you with my feelings!" The Ice Dragon King's voice was filled with anger and grievance.
"I admit that I did have some ulterior motives when I approached you in the beginning, but I wasn't just acting during the time we've been together!"
"Which ones are true and which ones are false?" Xuan Ming asked.
"If you really care about me, I don't care even if you have more calculations, but I am really worried now. I am just being too sentimental!"
"I don't care whether it's true or not, but this thing can't make me doubt whether it's true or not!"
"Either don't lie, or lie to me! At least I can deceive myself!"
"…"
The Ice Dragon King was silent for a moment, and the anger in her body gradually dissipated, replaced by a kind of helplessness and exhaustion. She looked at Xuan Ming, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes: "I do have other intentions towards you. As for hiding it from you, it's not that I don't treat you sincerely, but this matter is too dangerous. I..."
"Are you worried that I'll get scared and give up?" Xuan Ming said.
"Yeah." The Ice Dragon King lowered his head.
After Xuan Ming broke into the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, she and the Fire Dragon King were attracted by the power of dragon blood and woke up from their slumber.
At first she just wanted to use Xuan Ming to send them to the Star Dou Great Forest, but after the contact on the road, she changed her mind.
Xuan Ming has great talent, and this child has a strong character. He is not the kind of person who only has talent for show. There is a great possibility that he can become a god.
After all, she and the Fire Dragon King were just remnant souls. There was no point in staying on this Douluo Continent to survive. Moreover, there might not be another opportunity like this, so she decided to infuse Xuan Ming with the power of dragon soul. She wanted to take a gamble.
"Let me tell you a story." said the Ice Dragon King.
"Above the world we are in now, there is another higher plane, called the God Realm. The Dragon God, the strongest of the dragon race, was once the supreme ruler of the God Realm. However, the Dragon God died in an accident, and the blood power of the dragon race was extinguished. Including me and the Fire Dragon King, the dragon kings also died in the war in the God Realm."
"The Dragon God knew very well that the turmoil had caused the gods in the God Realm to harbor strong resentment towards the dragon clan and the soul beast clan. In order to reduce the resentment and preserve a glimmer of hope for the dragon clan and the soul beast clan, he used his last bit of strength to set a rule before his death. Unless the dragon clan revives and the Dragon God reappears, otherwise, in the God Realm, the beast clan will not be allowed to become gods."
"What's the use of this?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Won't those gods come down and wipe out all the soul beasts in order to eliminate the trouble forever?"
"This involves another rule. The divine world cannot interfere with the lower world." said the Ice Dragon King.
"The gods possess power far exceeding that of the creatures in the lower world. If the gods intervene in the lower world at will, it will cause devastating disasters and a complete collapse of order. Therefore, when the divine world was formed, the laws of the universe formed a kind of restriction. Once the gods leave the divine world and step into the mortal world, their power will be greatly suppressed. Of course, even if they are suppressed, the power of the gods is still overwhelming for the lower world."
"Moreover, the God Realm Committee has also established corresponding rules to manage the gods. Everything is difficult at the beginning. If a god proposes to go to the lower world to exterminate the soul beast clan today, more gods will not be able to bear the loneliness in the future. The majesty of the God Realm rules will be gone, and the God Realm will inevitably fall into new chaos."
"With the restrictions on the beast race's godhood set by the Dragon God himself, it is almost impossible for the beast race to become gods. In addition, the human soul master system continues to consume the number of soul beasts. The extinction of the soul beast race is only a matter of time. The last thing the God Realm lacks is time. There is no urgent threat, so there is no need to take a huge risk and do it yourself."
"But now that the dragon clan has revived and the Dragon God has reappeared, the God Realm will definitely be on high alert, right?" Xuan Ming asked.
"After all, according to what you said, the Dragon God was once the ruler of the God Realm. No matter what the reason, he fell. But now the God Realm has a new ruler. Just like the imperial power of mortals, the current dynasty must be smearing and suppressing the previous dynasty in order to maintain its own legitimacy."
"You are the Dragon King, and you were once a god. The God Realm can't ignore you, right?"
"That's right, the gods will not ignore me. In fact, they should have noticed me after I came into contact with the pope yesterday." said the Ice Dragon King.
Xuan Ming frowned, "Are you looking for death?"
"No, hiding it is seeking death." said the Ice Dragon King.
"If we lurk on you and wait for you to grow to the limit of the mortal world and reach the divine realm, the divine realm will definitely notice you. But if they discover the existence of the Dragon King under such circumstances, you will be dead!"
"Then wouldn't it be courting death if we expose ourselves now?" Xuan Ming asked.
"The Fire Dragon King and I are already dead. Now we are just remnant souls. We pose no threat to the God Realm. A few Heavenly Hunters are enough to destroy us. The God Realm will not descend to the mortal world for us. In the eyes of the God Realm, we are nothing but lonely ghosts." said the Ice Dragon King.
"Besides, we are now living in your body. You are a human being, and the laws and restrictions set by the Dragon God will not affect you."
"But won't the God Realm kill me just because I'm in collusion with you?" Xuan Ming said.
"You are a human being. Even if you obtain the power of the Dragon King's dragon soul, you are still a human being." said the Ice Dragon King.
"However, if someone is overly sensitive, they might regard you as a potential threat. This is the main reason why I am hiding it from you."
"So...you took action last night just to test me?" Xuan Ming asked.
"That's right. That woman has the divine consciousness left by the evil god. If the divine world is really so sensitive, we would be dead now." The Ice Dragon King said. She really didn't want to sit and wait for death, but she had to confirm whether this matter had any chance of success.
If the divine world was so sensitive that it would kill even a human who had obtained the power of the Dragon King's residual soul, then there was no need for her to struggle any further since there was no hope of success anyway.
"Also, I know what you are worried about, but I can tell you clearly now that no matter whether it is out of the Dragon King's self-esteem or the threat from the God Realm, we will never have the idea of taking over your body!" said the Ice Dragon King seriously.
Although she is dead, she is still the Dragon King, and the Dragon King's pride will not allow her to do things like taking over other people's bodies.
Moreover, if she took over Xuan Ming's body, a demigod-level Dragon King would be revived, and I'm afraid that Shura God would kill him in a short while!
"Anything else?" Xuan Ming asked.
"You want me to travel all the way to the Xingdou Great Forest. You can't be a prophet who knows that I will meet Bibi Dong, right?"
"I need to confirm one thing." said the Ice Dragon King.
"This matter requires me to enter the Great Star Forest."
When she was in the Sunset Forest, she had already sensed the existence of a force in the direction of the Star Forest, but she could not sense it clearly. After all, she was just a remnant soul with little strength left. The only way she could do was to get as close to the Star Forest as possible so that she could test it through the induction between the Dragon King and the dragon soul.
When she unleashed the power of the dragon soul, the Silver Dragon King who was sleeping deep in the Star Dou Great Forest was awakened by her power.
However, the Silver Dragon King was seriously injured and unable to take any action. He even had to let the younger dragon descendants around him respond to her.
After understanding the situation, she naturally had no need to go deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Apart from these, is there anything else you lied to me about?" Xuan Ming asked.
"You know how suspicious I am. I will only ask this once. If you lie to me again, I will never be able to trust you again."
"There is indeed one more thing." The Ice Dragon King looked a little unnatural.
"I saved those two little rabbits, not because I saw injustice, but because..."
"I want to leave it for you as a spirit ring."
"…"
"Ah?" Xuan Ming was stunned.
"I've cheated you, so naturally I want to compensate you as much as possible and help you become stronger." The Ice Dragon King felt a little guilty.
"There are too few hundred thousand year soul beasts, and hundred thousand year soul beasts have experienced heavenly tribulations. Their soul rings have a hint of divinity, which will be of great help to you."
"But I am a senior of the soul beast clan. If I say this directly... it would seem that I am a little unkind, and it would not match the image of a warm-hearted sister that I showed you before, so..."
"Apart from these, I really didn't lie to you about anything else! I really treat you as my brother! I definitely didn't mean to deceive your feelings!"
"I swear!"
"…"
"But even if you help me become a god, what can you get?" Xuan Ming asked.
"I am not a warm-hearted person. I don't care about the life and death of others, let alone the life and death of the soul beast clan."
"So I plan to tell you later." said the Ice Dragon King.
"You are not a warm-hearted person, but you are a person with self-respect and who values feelings."
"Even if you don't care about the life and death of the soul beast clan, I will risk my life to help you become a god. Even if you look at me for my sake, you will always lend a hand…"
"But I didn't expect you to be so sensitive and find the problem so quickly..."
The Ice Dragon King lowered his head with a complicated expression.
She knew that with their current relationship, it was definitely not enough for Xuan Ming to take such a big risk for them, so she didn't tell him, thinking of taking it slow in the future.
However, in this atmosphere, let's talk about it…
"Don't lie to me anymore in the future." Xuan Ming said.
"Ah?" The Ice Dragon King raised his head.
"You...are not angry?"
"I said before, I don't believe that good things like pie in the sky will fall on my head. You are helping me with all your might, so you must have some plans against me. I am mentally prepared. As long as you don't touch my bottom line, I don't care. If you help me, I will naturally help you." Xuan Ming said.
"I'm angry because you used a bunch of loopholes in your excuses to fool me."
"You couldn't even think of a perfect plan to trick me and lure me into it."
"You misunderstood. It's not that she is unwilling, she simply doesn't have the brains to think of it." said the Fire Dragon King.
"These excuses were the result of her racking her brains to come up with a plan that she thought was perfect."
"..."Xuan Ming.
"..."Ice Dragon King.
