Douluo Continent: The True Body and Blood Soul, Starting from Blacksmithing

Chapter 148 Dragon God, His Family's Demise

Qian Renxue's weapon forging was generally successful. She forged three times and failed only once, ultimately obtaining two weapons.

This was a request made by Qian Renxue after she learned about Lin Yu's twin spirit forging.

The first weapon incorporated Lin Yu's golden blood and a portion of Qian Renxue's soul. The second weapon used Lin Yu's silver soul and a portion of Qian Renxue's blood. For the third weapon, drawing on the experience of the first two, Qian Renxue attempted to nourish the two metals with her own blood and soul, but failed.

Lin Yu remained silent. The final addition of gold blood and silver soul to the spirit forging process was for nourishment. If the twin spirit forging could be achieved simply by dipping a drop of blood after the ultimate thousand forging, then the twin spirit forging would be far too worthless!

The original deal was to forge a weapon for Qian Renxue, with the remaining metal and a soul bone as payment for the forging.

But now, Lin Yu has forged two weapons for Qian Renxue, and two pieces of metal that were originally included in Lin Yu's payment have also been wasted by Qian Renxue, which is something Qian Renxue really didn't expect.

However, Qian Renxue quickly found a way to compensate.

Xiao Wu is a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form. When she has the Angel Soul Bone Set, all that is needed is Xiao Wu's 100,000-year soul ring as her seventh soul ring. Xiao Wu's 100,000-year soul bone will be given to Lin Yu as a reward.

Qian Daoliu remained silent, and Lin Yu did not refuse.

Although he is currently unable to absorb the bone in his left arm and both arms have been taken over by the Bone-Shattering Bracelet, can a living person still be killed by holding in his urine?

There's always a way out, and things will work themselves out. He believed that when Qian Renxue reached the Soul Saint level, he wouldn't be far from becoming a Soul Emperor.

Once all five elements are complete, there will always be a way to extract the original energy of the soul bone.

As for the soul bone that Qian Daoliu took out, it was a soul bone from an unknown earth-attribute dragon clan, treasured by the Spirit Hall.

Hearing the word "unknown" made Lin Yu feel uneasy, so he casually asked a question that he had been curious about for a long time.

Why does the Spirit Hall possess so many spirit bones from unknown spirit beast species?

The external spirit bone he initially chose, "Golden Scale," was said by the Spirit Hall to come from a raging golden dragon, and he believed it at the time.

But now—why does that scale feel so much like the Dragon God's reverse scale? After all, a golden dragon couldn't possibly grant him elemental control.

In response to Lin Yu's doubts, Qian Daoliu directly brought up the past deeds of the Angel God.

It's simply that in the past, spirit beasts were far more powerful than humans on the continent, and humans suffered persecution at their hands. In the end, the first Angel God stood up and killed many ferocious and brutal spirit beasts to protect humanity's homeland.

Most of those fierce and brutal soul beasts will drop some soul bones.

The Spirit Hall has been able to develop to this day and become a paradise for ordinary soul masters, partly because of its management philosophy and partly because of the many things left behind by the first Angel God.

Whether it was the scale Lin Yu had back then, or the soul bone Qian Daoliu has brought out now, they were both left behind by the first Angel God before ascending to the God Realm.

Of course, the current prohibition of poaching and killing by the Spirit Hall is also an agreement between the first Angel God and the remaining kind-hearted spirit beasts. After all, her nature is still kind, and her original intention was simply to provide a paradise for humanity.

Upon learning the origins of the spirit bones from the Spirit Hall, Lin Yu also finally understood something that had puzzled him for a long time: why there seemed to be so few powerful spirit beasts in the first era of the Battle of Douluo Continent, while in the second era, all ten ferocious beasts appeared, including beasts that had existed for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.

After all that, it turns out that the first Angel God from the Douluo Continent II era is gone, and no one in the God Realm is there to support the soul beasts of Douluo Star.

That's not right.

How could Lin Yu remember that the Asura God once said to the Dragon God, "Let me end your suffering and let everything start anew for you"? Only then did the Dragon God calmly face death and withstand the Asura God's charged sword strike?

But does the Dragon God have a chance to start over? The Golden Dragon King is imprisoned in the realm of gods, which can be said to be a time for recuperation; the Silver Dragon King can be said to be a time for healing his wounds.

The Dragon God's most steadfast followers, the Soul Beast race, seem to be facing an increasingly dire future. Soul Beasts like the Blue Silver Emperor and Xiao Wu are resorting to any means necessary to achieve godhood!

Without his intervention, the Angel God, who would speak for the Soul Beast race, had his divine status shattered by the combined attack of the Asura God and the Sea God.

Subsequently, soul-guided technology developed rapidly, and the conflict between humans and soul beasts intensified.

The appearance of the spirits nearly wiped out the spirit beast race—if the Golden Dragon King hadn't interfered in the God Realm, causing it to be swept away by spatial turbulence and giving the Dragon God a chance to appear, the Dragon God would probably have been devoured by the Asura God.

In this way, the actions of that ancient being who seemed to be a dragon god, which were called "possession" but were actually helping him, seem to make sense.

If that person was indeed the Dragon God consciousness that he had accidentally resurrected, how desperate would he be to learn about his future from his memories?

No wonder he asked that question back then.

"If you are faced with a situation where you are certain to die, will you choose to live on or face death with equanimity?"

Because by living by his own identity, he could at best barely survive—he couldn't exchange it for the "Dragon God's" life.

Damn it, what does the Dragon God's business have to do with me?

At most, when I become a God-King in the future, he might take pity on me because the Dragon God gave me a silver robe and golden armor, a few spirits, and guided my cultivation in my younger years.

Suddenly, Lin Yu realized that he could never fully repay the Dragon God's kindness.

Absorb soul bones, cultivate, why worry about so much!

As Lin Yu expected, the soul bone that Qian Daoliu gave him was of extremely high quality. It was actually a 70,000-year-old soul bone from the "Mountain Dragon King" clan, one of the nine sons of the Dragon God!

Having discovered this through his soul, Lin Yu felt a strong urge to visit the Spirit Hall—no, I mean the Hall of Offerings. He even considered taking a stroll through the Hall of Offerings' treasury!

He always felt that there were many powerful dragon-attribute soul bones in the Hall of Offerings. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why there were so many diverse and powerful dragon-type martial soul masters during the second era of Dou Di Zhuan, and why many of them were related to Shrek Academy in the second era of Dou Di Zhuan.

Having this idea, Lin Yu asked a question from a different angle.

"Could I exchange Xiao Wu's 100,000-year-old soul bone for a soul bone that has both dragon and water attributes? It doesn't matter if it's a little younger, I'm willing to take a loss."

Lin Yu wasn't afraid of Qian Daoliu tricking him, after all, Qian Daoliu's character was beyond reproach. Looking at the entire Douluo series, Qian Daoliu's character was unparalleled.

Regarding Lin Yu's "disadvantaged" behavior, Qian Daoliu shut him down with a single sentence: "Can you accept a soul bone less than 50,000 years old?"

After those words were spoken, Lin Yu couldn't say anything. You have to know that even the worst of his Three-Headed Flaming Lions was a 60,000-year-old soul bone!

Trading a 100,000-year-old soul bone for a soul bone less than 50,000 years old is a huge loss.

He's willing to suffer a small loss, but he's not really stupid!

However, Qian Daoliu did not leave after Lin Yu finished absorbing the soul bone.

The soul bone of the Mountain Dragon King clan gave Lin Yu a greater boost to his soul power than any other soul bone before, directly pushing his soul power to level 39, just one step away from level 40!

Upon learning that Lin Yu was preparing to absorb a ten-thousand-year-old water-attribute dragon-type soul beast for his fourth soul ring, Qian Daoliu said: Considering that Lin Yu helped his granddaughter forge three times and successfully forged two weapons without any complaints, once Lin Yu breaks through to level 40, he can take him to the deep sea to obtain a suitable soul ring.

Lin Yu was thrilled to learn that Qian Daoliu was not planning to leave the Lin residence during this time.

With Qian Daoliu in the Lin family, he didn't believe that Bibi Dong would dare to come and exploit him or delay his cultivation!

Keep in mind that Lin Yu had been absorbing his third spirit ring for less than half a year!

It is impossible for any Soul Master to increase their Soul Power by ten levels within half a year by absorbing Soul Bones.

Ironically, Lin Yu, with his silver robe and golden armor, absorbed so many soul bones without any aftereffects!

As I said before, the debt of gratitude to the Dragon God can never be repaid!
