Shen Hanyu smiled lightly, agreeing with the Ice Dragon King's words.
The Fire Dragon King did not speak, as if lost in some memory, a sense of sorrow and the desolation of an ending era appearing on him.
The Ice Dragon King also slowly landed on Shen Hanyu. After a long while, he softly said:
"Bone age approaching fifteen, level 72 Soul Sage, sixth soul ring a 100,000-year soul ring, seventh soul ring even a million-year soul ring, possessing a super martial soul along with ultimate ice attribute, you are qualified to become the inheritor of both her and me."
Shen Hanyu was stunned and asked curiously:
"Who?"
The Ice Dragon King glanced at him sideways, then endless sadness emerged in his eyes as he said:
"She was a human of unparalleled talent throughout the ages, and also a human with a strange personality. Her consciousness lacked a clear sense of right and wrong, but it cannot be denied that she was very powerful, truly peerless in grace and talent..."
"She was the previous generation's Ice God, once the strongest below the God Kings in the God Realm. That crystal in your mental sea is the carrier of her divine examination. Unfortunately, the Ice God's divine power within it has already been depleted, leaving only a damaged and incomplete divine position. It was able to recognize you as its master only by absorbing the divine power I had left behind."
Shen Hanyu involuntarily clenched his fists. Although he had long anticipated that a divine examination would actively seek him out, now that it had truly appeared, he felt no joy at all, only an indescribable confusion.
"Why did the Ice God fall? Why was her examination token in your possession, and what was your relationship with the Ice God? I am very curious."
Shen Hanyu asked softly. In those memory fragments, he had endless doubts and urgently wanted answers.
The Ice Dragon King was silent for a moment, then let out a light sigh and said:
"She grew tired of the restrictions and frameworks of the God Realm. Her nature did not allow her to continue living in that cage, so during the great war in the God Realm, she went on a killing spree, slaying countless gods and giant dragons. In the end, after battling the God King of Kindness, she suffered heavy injuries and lost interest in continuing the fight, so she directly chose to self-destruct."
"As for why her inheritance token was in my possession, after I was slain, my remains fell to the Douluo Continent, and her inheritance token seemed to sense my aura. It crossed space to come to my side and completely lost its vitality."
"As for my relationship with her... it was more like... what you humans call... father and daughter. In the long years, I rarely encountered human juniors with whom I could converse pleasantly, but after she ascended to godhood, for some unknown reason, she did not bring her own parents to the God Realm. She always said I resembled her father, both in demeanor and personality..."
Shen Hanyu's pupils contracted slightly, but he quickly accepted this explanation.
Whether what the Ice Dragon King said was true or false, he no longer cared. In the end, these things had nothing to do with him.
"So, does that mean I am now considered the inheritor of the Ice God?"
The Ice Dragon King nodded, then shook his head and said:
"More accurately, you are the joint inheritor of both the Ice God and me. The Ice God's divine power is already exhausted to the point that it even relied on my power to issue the divine examination. And since you already carry the bloodline power of both Old Fire and me within your body, you can also be considered my inheritor."
Two black lines appeared on Shen Hanyu's forehead. Although he wasn't clear on how he could inherit a soul beast's divine position, one thing was certain: with the bloodline power of these two Dragon Kings in his body, the obstacles on his path to godhood had just increased by another level...
Truly... wonderfully exciting—
.........
Shen Hanyu lowered his eyes in thought for a moment, then said:
"This is my honor. However, for a human who possesses soul beast bloodlines or has deep ties to soul beasts, the possibility of becoming a god is likely much lower than in normal circumstances, right..."
The Ice Dragon King did not lie and directly nodded, saying:
"Indeed. The God Realm will not easily allow a human close to soul beasts to become a god. Even if you do become a god, there is a high chance you will be directly suppressed and killed."
Shen Hanyu's brows furrowed slightly as he spoke straightforwardly:
"Senior, I know about the hatred between soul beasts and humans, but asking me to bear this kind of pressure without reason makes it very difficult for me..."
The Ice Dragon King gave Shen Hanyu a somewhat strange glance but still said:
"Speak then, what do you want?"
The corners of Shen Hanyu's mouth curved into an arc as he said:
"I want your and the Fire Dragon King senior's divine-level soul bones, and for your and the Fire Dragon King senior's dragon souls to leave this space and become the stepping stones for my growth. What do you think?"
The Ice Dragon King was stunned, then also showed a trace of amusement and said:
"You dare to think big. Whether you can absorb the soul bones of Old Fire and me is one thing, but even just one of our remaining dragon souls could burst and kill a God Officer-level powerhouse. What makes you so confident to say such words?"
Shen Hanyu remained unconcerned and continued:
"The energy left by the two of you within my body has already completed fusion and even reached a state of symbiosis, laying the foundation for my physique. Absorbing divine-level soul bones will be difficult, but it is not impossible. With the help of you two seniors, I have at least a seventy percent chance."
"As for your two seniors' dragon souls, you also know, senior, that my seventh soul ring comes from the million-year soul beast Skydream Ice Worm, which provided me with a blank ice-attribute martial soul. If you first become my second martial soul, then with the near-perfect tacit understanding and fusion degree between you and the Fire Dragon King senior, achieving symbiosis would not be impossible..."
"If the two seniors are willing to take a gamble with me, I am willing to swear on my martial soul that after becoming a god, I will do my utmost to promote coexistence between humans and soul beasts. Even if that fails, at the very least, I can revive the two seniors..."
"No matter how you look at it, this deal is not a loss for the two seniors. Even if you continue staying here, relying on the unique geographical advantages of this place, you might only persist for another few tens of thousands of years. Why not take a chance..."
Shen Hanyu's words caused the Ice Dragon King to fall into brief silence. Then, the Fire Dragon King's dragon soul slowly approached his side. An invisible mental force enveloped them, preventing outsiders from perceiving what they were discussing.
Shen Hanyu was not in a hurry. He had already completed the absorption of the million-year mental skull bone, and his mental power had undergone another explosive increase. Now that he had time, he might as well quickly familiarize himself with his current mental power while also giving himself some time to explore that Ice God inheritance token, which still showed no significant reaction.
This gave Shen Hanyu a headache.
Logically, after a normal inheritance token recognizes its master, shouldn't it issue the examination directly? Once the examination is passed, it issues the divine examination. How could the Ice God's inheritance be so bizarre, not even making a sound after so long?
As expected, just like the rather abnormal Ice God, it was also rather abnormal...
