The War of the Gods in the Great Void God King

Deep within Jiang Fan's consciousness, a colossal golden dragon, tens of thousands of feet tall, was quietly coiled in the void.

The Golden Dragon King was covered with a layer of dazzling golden scales, each scale as if cast from divine gold, shimmering brightly.

An ancient, domineering, and terrifying dragon's might, surpassing all things, filled the entire space of consciousness.

This power was too overwhelming and too noble. Even when it was just lying dormant, it made Jiang Fan's soul tremble and he felt a sense of insignificance.

This is the original power of the Golden Dragon King of the Void.

Unrivaled throughout the ages, suppressing all the heavens.

Just as Jiang Fan was quietly sensing the power within his body, a gentle voice suddenly resounded deep within his soul.

The voice was devoid of any malice or murderous intent as it spoke:

"The embryo of the Golden Dragon King of the Ancient Dragon Clan resides within you."

"Unfortunately, to save your life, this supreme power was sealed and suppressed layer by layer, and slumbered for a full eighteen years."

"With each major breakthrough you make, you can unlock a seal, gradually gain control of the Golden Dragon King's power, awaken your own Golden Dragon King techniques, completely defy fate, and break free from the shackles of mortals."

Jiang Fan was greatly shocked and immediately focused his attention on the enormous golden dragon king in the void.

Upon closer inspection, he finally discovered the secret hidden deep within the dragon's body.

Eighteen intertwined sealing chains tightly bound the Golden Dragon King's enormous body.

These seals, invisible to the naked eye and hidden deep within the origin, acted like shackles, completely locking away the Golden Dragon King's divine power.

Immediately afterwards, the ancient voice continued, saying:

"These eighteen seals were not set up by the Heavenly Dao, nor were they inherent in the immortal embryo."

"It was your own mother who personally laid the life-saving shackles for you."

"The power of the Golden Dragon King is too violent and domineering, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth. You simply cannot withstand even the slightest bit of it."

"If your cultivation is too weak, the unsealing of the dragon power will cause your physical body, meridians, and soul to explode instantly, resulting in your complete annihilation without any chance of survival."

"Therefore, your mother laid down these eighteen layers of seals in a gradual manner."

"With each major realm you advance, you will automatically unlock a seal, steadily refine the dragon power, protect yourself, and grow step by step into the invincible Golden Dragon King of the Void."

"Now that you are eighteen years old, your period of dormancy is over, and you are qualified to break the first seal."

After hearing these words, Jiang Fan's heart was filled with a tremendous surge of emotions.

From childhood to adulthood, his father was the only person in his life.

My memories before the age of six are a blank, as if they never existed.

He had never seen his mother, never heard her voice, and his father had never mentioned her to him while he was alive.

Jiang Fan's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes welled up with tears. He anxiously asked in his heart:

"Who is my mother? Where is she? Is she alive or dead? What happened to her?!"

He desperately wanted to know the answer.

He was determined to find his mother and uncover the whole truth.

The gentle voice remained silent for a long time before finally breaking through with helplessness and regret.

"I am merely a remnant of the guardian consciousness remaining within the Golden Dragon King's essence."

"I am only responsible for informing you of the rules of the seal. I do not possess any memories of your past, nor do I know your mother's origins or her whereabouts."

As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining glimmer of his consciousness quickly dimmed and faded away.

Before disappearing completely, it left behind a final, absolute warning that must never be disobeyed:

"Remember this!"

"The eighteen seals must be unlocked gradually, step by step. Forcing the seals open prematurely is strictly prohibited!"

"If you rashly and forcibly tear open one of the seals, the dragon's power will instantly go berserk and backfire, severing your meridians, shattering your body, and annihilating your soul!"

"boom!"

The final warning reverberated through Jiang Fan's soul before completely dissipating.

The entire space of consciousness fell into a deathly silence, without a single sound.

"Senior! Senior, don't go! Tell me more!"

Jiang Fan kept calling out in his heart, but he received no response whatsoever.

That last wisp of consciousness vanished completely into the world.

Suppressing the surging doubts, bitterness, and regret in his heart, Jiang Fan's eyes gradually became incredibly firm.

No matter where her mother is, whether she is alive or dead, no matter how many secrets or enemies lie ahead.

Now that he possesses the power of the Golden Dragon King of the Void, he fears no enemy.

His gaze was fixed on the weakest first seal on the Golden Dragon King's body.

With a thought, it unlocks instantly.

"Buzz!"

A slight tremor resounded throughout his consciousness, shattering the first ancient seal that had bound him for eighteen years, turning it into countless golden specks of light that completely dissipated.

The next second, a surge of golden dragon power instantly washed over his limbs and bones.

For the first time in eighteen years, the dantian, which had been barren and dormant, trembled violently and revived.

The originally dry and blocked meridians were forcibly tempered and reshaped by the dragon power of the Golden Dragon King.

At the same time, a martial art of the Golden Dragon King was directly imprinted deep within his soul. Without needing to comprehend or cultivate, he instantly mastered it perfectly.

Golden Dragon Claw.

The Golden Dragon King's exclusive close-combat killing technique.

With a single claw, it can shatter spiritual energy barriers, crush rocks, break refined iron, and crush ordinary martial arts. Within the same level, it is invincible in killing!

Jiang Fan slowly opened his eyes; the courtyard was quiet and gentle in the night.

Liu Ruxue stood quietly by the door from beginning to end, never leaving for a moment.

Hearing the noise behind her, she turned around gently.

Before he could even speak, a clear and gentle young voice slowly echoed through the room.

"Ru Xue, thank you for your hard work."

The moment the sound rang out, Liu Ruxue froze completely in place.

Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

Twelve years, a full twelve years.

From the moment she met this boy, he had never uttered a single word and was called mute by everyone.

She had long been used to his quietness and never expected him to speak.

But now, he actually spoke.

"Little mute...you, you can speak now?!"

Liu Ruxue's voice trembled, filled with ecstatic joy.

Seeing her surprised and delighted expression, Jiang Fan felt a surge of tenderness in his heart and smiled gently, nodding in agreement.

"Yes. I couldn't speak before for some reason. Now, I can speak."

"That's great! Xiao Fan, that's really great!"

After her initial joy, Liu Ruxue couldn't help but show worry in her eyes as she softly offered a word of advice:

"Sister Liu Ruyan has extremely high talent. She awakened a sixth-grade spiritual root at the age of six. Her cultivation speed is extremely fast and her foundation is profound. She is a top genius among her peers."

"The bet with Yuntian Sect a year from now... Don't act impulsively, and don't force yourself."

Looking at the gentle, kind, and unwavering girl before him, Jiang Fan's eyes warmed, and he smiled confidently and calmly, saying:

"Don't worry, trust your husband."

Upon hearing the words "husband," Liu Ruxue's cheeks instantly flushed red, her heart raced, and she lowered her head shyly.

Jiang Fan stepped forward, gently put his arm around her waist, and said with utmost seriousness in his eyes:

"Ru Xue, from this day forward, you will be my only wife, Jiang Fan. I will never betray you, never leave you."

Liu Ruxue nestled gently in his arms, her voice soft and tender as she spoke:

"Yes, my husband."
