Chapter 62

Chapter 62

Shen Hanyu chuckled and agreed with the Ice Dragon King's words.

The Fire Dragon King remained silent, as if lost in some memory, a sense of sorrow and the approaching end of an old age emanating from him.

The Ice Dragon King slowly landed on Shen Hanyu, and after a long while, he said softly:

"Your bone age is close to fifteen, you are a level 72 Soul Saint, your sixth Soul Ring is a 100,000-year Soul Ring, and your seventh Soul Ring is a million-year Soul Ring. You possess a super weapon spirit and the ultimate ice attribute. You are qualified to become my and her successor."

Shen Hanyu was taken aback, and said with some curiosity:

"Who?"

The Ice Dragon King glanced at him sideways, then his eyes filled with endless sorrow, and he said:

"She was a human being of unparalleled beauty throughout history, and also a human being with a strange personality. In her consciousness, there was no clear right or wrong, but there was no denying that she was very powerful, and could be described as peerless in beauty..."

"She was the Ice Goddess of the previous generation, the number one person below the God King in the God Realm. The crystal in your spiritual sea was the vessel for her divine test. Unfortunately, the Ice Goddess's divine power within it has been exhausted, leaving only a broken and incomplete divine position. The reason it can recognize you as its master now is because it has absorbed the divine power I left behind."

Shen Hanyu clenched his fists. Although he had a premonition that the divine test would come to him, he felt no joy when it actually happened. Instead, he was left with an inexplicable sense of confusion.

"I'm very curious about why the Ice Goddess fell, why her divine test token is in your hands, and what your relationship is with the Ice Goddess."

Shen Hanyu asked softly, filled with endless questions and an urgent desire for answers amidst those fragments of memory.

The Ice Dragon King was silent for a moment, then sighed softly and said:

"She grew tired of the rules and regulations of the divine realm. Her nature wouldn't allow her to continue living in that cage. So she went on a killing spree during the war in the divine realm, slaying countless gods and dragons. After a final battle with the benevolent god-king, she was severely injured and lost interest in continuing the fight, so she chose to self-destruct."

"As for why her legacy ended up in my hands, after I was killed, my remains fell to the Douluo Continent, and her legacy seemed to sense my presence, so it crossed space to come to my side and completely lost its life."

"As for my relationship with her, it's more like... what you humans call... father and daughter. In the long years I've rarely met any human juniors with whom I can have a pleasant conversation. After she became a god, for some unknown reason she didn't bring her parents to the divine realm. She always says I'm like her father, both in demeanor and personality..."

Shen Hanyu's pupils contracted slightly, but he quickly accepted the explanation.

Whether the Ice Dragon King was telling the truth or not, he didn't care anymore; these things were ultimately irrelevant to him.

"So, I'm now considered the successor of the Ice God, is that right?"

The Ice Dragon King nodded, then shook his head, and said:

"To be precise, you are the successor of both the Ice God and me. The Ice God's divine power has been exhausted, and it even needs my power to issue the divine test. You already have the bloodline power of me and Old Fire in your body, so you can also be considered my successor."

Two black lines appeared on Shen Hanyu's forehead. Although he didn't know how he would inherit the divine position of the soul beasts, he was certain that with the bloodline power of these two dragon kings within him, the obstacles he encountered on his path to godhood had increased to a whole new level...

It was truly... absolutely amazing!

………………

Shen Hanyu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying:

"It's my honor. However, the chances of a human with the bloodline of a soul beast or a close relationship with a soul beast becoming a god are probably much lower than under normal circumstances..."

The Ice Dragon King didn't lie; instead, he nodded directly and said:

"Indeed, the God Realm will not allow a human who is close to soul beasts to easily become a god. Even if you do become a god, there is a high chance that you will be directly suppressed and killed."

Shen Hanyu frowned slightly and spoke directly:

"Senior, I know about the hatred between you soul beasts and humans, but it's really difficult for me to bear this pressure for no reason..."

The Ice Dragon King gave Shen Hanyu a strange look, but still said:

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Shen Hanyu's lips curled into a smile as he said:

"I want your and Senior Fire Dragon King's divine soul bones, as well as your and Senior Fire Dragon King's dragon souls to leave this space and become stepping stones for me to become stronger. What do you think?"

The Ice Dragon King was taken aback, then a smile appeared on his face as he said:

"You're quite audacious. Whether you can absorb my and Lao Huo's soul bones is one thing, but even the dragon souls that Lao Huo and I left behind could either kill a high-ranking official. What makes you so confident in saying such a thing?"

Shen Hanyu disagreed and continued:

"The energy you two left in my body has been fused together, even to the point of symbiosis, laying the foundation for my body. Although absorbing a divine-level soul bone is difficult, it is not a pipe dream. With your help, I am at least 70% confident."

"As for your dragon souls, as you know, my seventh soul ring comes from the million-year-old soul beast, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. It provided me with a blank ice-attribute martial soul. As long as you become my second martial soul, and given your near-perfect synergy and fusion with Senior Fire Dragon King, achieving symbiosis is not impossible..."

"If you two seniors are willing to take this gamble with me, I'm willing to swear on my martial soul that after becoming a god, I will do my utmost to promote the symbiosis between humans and soul beasts. Even if that's not possible, at the very least, I can resurrect you two seniors..."

"No matter how you look at it, this deal is a win-win for both of you seniors. Even if you two continue to stay here, you can hold out for tens of thousands more years thanks to this unique geographical advantage. Why not take a gamble..."

Shen Hanyu's words caused the Ice Dragon King to fall into a brief silence. Then, the Fire Dragon King's dragon soul slowly came to his side. An invisible spiritual force enveloped them, making it impossible for outsiders to know what they were discussing.

Shen Hanyu wasn't in a hurry. He had already completed the absorption of the million-year-old spiritual skull, and his spiritual power had surged once again. Now that he had time, he wanted to familiarize himself with his current spiritual power as soon as possible, and also give himself some time to explore the Ice God's inheritance that hadn't shown any significant reaction so far.

Shen Hanyu was also somewhat troubled by this.

Logically speaking, after a normally inherited item recognizes its master, shouldn't an assessment be issued immediately, and a divine test be issued after the assessment is passed? How come the Ice God's inheritance is so absurd, remaining completely silent for so long?

Sure enough, just like the somewhat eccentric Ice God, they're both somewhat eccentric...

P.S.: It's almost Chinese New Year, I'm so tired, I don't want to update, I want to play games. I recently started dating someone, hahaha, she's super pretty, a senior in high school (doge).

P.S.: I hadn't noticed that several godfathers had given me tips, so I'd like to thank them all here. The boss is so generous! I wish the boss will grow another 10 centimeters (laughs while covering face) 2 (doge)

P.S.: Please vote for me!
