Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 117: Young God Lv2
Victory.

But victory is not the end.

Wu Chen raised his hand, feeling the tide of willpower that dissipated as the Saint King's remains crumbled. They were still there, still within this vast, yet narrow, chamber demiplane. But now, they were truly ownerless.

Wuchen can absorb them, can devour them. But——

——I want more.

Even remnants couldn't be coagulated into a living being out of thin air. Just like the Holy Kingdom's Crown of Faith, born from the tides of willpower, deep within these ruined remnants, there must be a reason for their birth.

A core.

Something different.

Wu Chen closed his eyes and expanded his senses. His newly acquired ability of 'Water Controlling the Air' extended outwards and deeper. Until -

A crystal point emerged in his thoughts.

——Found you!
The will gathers and then injects rapidly!

Pure white filled Wu Chen's eyes at this moment.

........................

He opened his eyes, and what came into view was a sea of ​​light. For nearly two hundred years, all the accumulated faith and willpower of the Holy Kingdom of Lobel had been concentrated there. And in the depths of the ocean, a vague figure flickered.

"You found me." The figure looked like a wizard, but under the shining ocean, it looked more like an ancient sage. Its eyes radiated the light of wisdom, and a myriad of lights and shadows flowed through its eyes.

Ruins, flames of war, ancient relics, dragons—a corner of the past is reflected in its eyes, and the battlefield that can now be called a myth is revealed one by one in its memory.

"I found you, the player from Yggdrasil." Wu Chen looked at it and nodded. "I thought you were completely dead."

"Chaindulux's Soul Purification power is indeed formidable, but it's not flawless." The figure nodded in response to Wu Chen. "I personally experienced and sensed its primordial magic, and from this, I discovered the truth—these ancient Dragon Kings control the souls of this world. Unfortunately, their own flaws prevent them from embarking on this path to immortality."

The principle of primordial magic is to directly connect with the world and use the endless tide of souls from the depths of the world to exert great power. And the soul has always been the source of faith.

"They don't know how to use their willpower?"

"You call this power willpower? Ah... indeed, born from prayer, it's a fair term. Yes, the Dragon Kings possess the knowledge to wield it, but they dare not, are unwilling to use it. This is because willpower erodes their very personality, making them no longer themselves. Rather than being distorted and transformed, it's better to transform it into fuel before it can contaminate them. And when the rules of the world are altered by the Eternal Serpent Ring, and the laws of tiered magic taint their purity, they will pay a heavy price if they wish to regret it."

"You mentioned the Eternal Serpent Ring."

"You know this, foreigner?" the nameless figure tilted his head curiously. "Indeed, this is one of the world-class items our Trinity Guild possesses. Three hundred...

...Well, it must have been five hundred years ago. My companions descended upon this land and used it to alter the very rules governing the world. Unfortunately, I reset my account for personal reasons. Although I'm still considered a member of the Seraphs, I didn't spend my final days with them. Thinking back on it now, I do regret it.

"And you, what game did you come from? You use items and spells that Yggdrasil doesn't have, and you possess miraculous powers that theoretically cannot be possessed by anyone other than a True Dragon King or a special being like me... Are you a player from the Demon Realm? Or a Legend?"

Wu Chen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Neither. I play the original... I play Greedy Blue Moon."

"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it." It waved its hand and sighed. "Two hundred years ago, me and... never mind, Rick. He and I logged in to commemorate the closure of Yggdrasil, but were teleported to this place. We wanted to be heroes who savior the world, but we forgot that heroes are destined to return to the grave... We were betrayed and killed. I used soul transfer to parasitize this native of Rolandil, originally seeking revenge, but was found by Chandulux again. Fortunately, in my final moments, I severed this crucial strand of soul, thus transferring all my research results."

It raised its head and looked at Wu Chen.

"You've come for this, haven't you? For my final research, the final result. The immortal essence I painstakingly condensed, ultimately transcending all living things. And those secrets, those treasures, those powers, known only to me. I know that Sky City has not fallen until now, and I know how to open the Road of Trials."

"What do you want?" Wu Chen stared at him, questioning him. "You're just a memory, a question-and-answer device. You can't even control that remnant, the body of the Saint King."

"Yes," it admitted. "So, I just want to show you a way."

"The power you possess is too similar to primordial magic. You rose from the Holy Kingdom, so you will naturally be regarded as my successor, my legacy. Those powerful and ancient dragon kings will sooner or later become your enemy, as long as you do not give up this path to power, as long as you desire to become even stronger."

"You are destined to be enemies with the Dragon Kings. You are destined to fight them. And if one day..."

"When you kill Chandlux, I hope you can make him feel enough pain."

"I thought you would let me revive your original form."

"I won't ask for the impossible." The figure shook his head. "Just like I wouldn't ask you to exterminate all the natives, even though I fully expect it."

Its tone is calm.

However, the ocean of willpower surrounding it suddenly surged and turbulently. The immense resentment gathered there even dyed a small portion of the pure white into gray and black, but it quickly disappeared and faded in the surging ocean of willpower.

No wonder it looks so Buddhist. It seems that the Holy Kingdom, which is full of the power of faith in light, is indeed not very beneficial to the mental health of those who bear deep hatred.

"I won't initiate an attack on the dragons, even though I did kill one." Wu Chen glanced at the back of his hand, where Mil's mark remained quietly drawn. "But if they attack, if they initiate a war, then, when they suffer the consequences, I will make them realize their mistakes."

The agreement was thus established.

The agreement between the young god and the false god, the covenant between the first holy king and the last regent, the tacit understanding between a time traveler and another time traveler.

The blurry figure smiled.

And the next moment, its form suddenly collapsed, and the vast amount of knowledge, secrets, essence of willpower, and the most core part of the pseudo-god nature, all merged into Wu Chen's body.

All knowledge was dismantled, all memories sealed. Wu Chen would not allow even the slightest possibility of a resurgence. And the moment the dazzling array of events was completely absorbed, Wu Chen felt the expansion of his own substance deep within his heart.

It wasn't a power bestowed by the Voice of the World, but rather a pure growth he had acquired within himself, a growth that had become a part of himself. He felt his primordial holy soul, originating from Mondasi, developing and transforming. His thoughts suddenly became clearer, and multiple thoughts simultaneously appeared in the center of his sea of ​​consciousness!
Twin souls.

No, more than twins—just raise your hand and you can cast multiple spells simultaneously. Multiple elemental spheres dance lightly in your palm, and you can fully control them all at once, instead of using a single-core multi-threaded method to quickly switch and fine-tune like before!
This is the power that already belongs to him.

This was the first true growth he had gained since crossing the world, one that he didn't have to pay for. And the voice of the world finally echoed in his ears.

——[Has become a Young God Level 2, and the soul level has been elevated.]

You have acquired a ray of divine nature. From now on, you are no longer penalized by level differences and ignore all resistance reductions granted by creature level. Your spells and martial arts are enhanced. Furthermore, your capacity for willpower increases, and you can, to a certain extent, respond to the wishes of your followers.

Mengdas's original holy soul finally released the first inner glow at this moment.
