From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 719 [Dragon God] is a realm!

The mysterious and ancient emerald dragon soul had already given Chen Hong the answer: the Silver Dragon King and the Golden Dragon King were not actually connected to the Dragon God.

To outsiders, the Silver Dragon King and the Gold Dragon King would appear to be forcibly bound to the Dragon God, but to the Emerald Dragon Soul, the Silver Dragon King and the Gold Dragon King are nothing more than ordinary dragon kings.

If we must point out something special, it is that after the Silver Dragon King and the Golden Dragon King merge, they can bear the supreme power belonging to the Dragon God.

"I've discovered that once I enter this universe, my thinking becomes restricted. This restriction used to be a form of protection, but now it has become a constraint." Chen Hong stood on a cliff, looking at the world in front of him, which was divided in two, into life and death, and couldn't help but rub his forehead slightly.

Chen Hong was referring to how, as a child, his mind would randomly receive chaotic data streams from different dimensions. The dimensional plane shielded him from some of this, providing him with a relatively safe childhood environment. However, as Chen Hong grew to a certain level, this "information shielding" turned into a constraint that he found restrictive.

"That's normal. For an embryo, the eggshell is protection, but for a complete life, it's a cage that needs to be broken." The emerald dragon soul continued to groom its dragon scales while perched on Chen Hong's shoulder, making Chen Hong seriously suspect that the reason why this guy's dragon scales were so exquisite and beautiful must be because he groomed them like this all the time.

"That makes sense." Chen Hong nodded, then asked, "Why did you think I would come here? And you, there don't seem to be many complete souls left here."

"The Dragon Tomb is special," the emerald dragon soul replied calmly. "Your perception is rare in this world. You can actually sense them, but you lack crucial information. You cannot distinguish them from thousands of weak remains. This is the tomb of many dragon kings and dragon lords, burying the former glory of the dragon race and also containing the last glimmer of hope belonging to the dragon race."

The Dragon King-level Dragon Soul in the Dragon Tomb is not just the Emerald Dragon Soul, but many of them. However, those Dragon Souls are too weak to maintain their rationality, and only Emerald Dragon Souls of the same origin can hear their voices.

"So, are you alive or dead now?" The Dragon Lord was referring to Chen Hong, a peak-level first-class god among the 'Dragon Clan'.

Although Chen Hong is not a true dragon, the moment he was able to enter the Dragon Tomb through the dragon markings, whether he was a true dragon or not became irrelevant.

"Actually, there is no true death in this world. At least, everything you can see is alive." The emerald dragon soul's words were startling, but Chen Hong remained unmoved. Because he now understood just how terrifying these dragon kings' view of the world truly was.

The mysterious emerald dragon soul has already said that death is a woven lie.

For example, between real life and death, a false death called "death" is woven by lies. Many people think they are dead, but in fact they are all trapped in the huge conceptual net formed by the false death, and cannot fall into the abyss of real death!

If this claim gets out, it will surely cause a huge uproar.

However, Chen Hong was somewhat surprised by this, because, quite coincidentally, he had actually used this "False Death Web" ability before. Back on Seagod Island, Chen Hong used his and Ye Lingling's domains to form a giant soul net, causing the souls of everyone within the domain to return to Chen Hong after death, instead of entering the laws of death.

This would allow Chen Hong to bypass the laws of death and simply say, "Death is off duty today," to resurrect a large number of Soul Masters who had already died without any side effects.

"That's why we're so impressed by your exceptional comprehension." Although the emerald dragon soul couldn't read Chen Hong's mind, it could guess what he was thinking.

The emerald dragon soul couldn't actually observe the outside world; all its understanding of Chen Hong was based on Tang Hao. Although not comprehensive, the emerald dragon soul already understood that Chen Hong at that time already possessed the potential for transcendence.

Putting everything else aside, just that one line, "Death is off duty today," was enough to make the Emerald Dragon Soul extremely impressed.

"The deception of death cannot fool us, so the souls of the dragons cannot enter the false cycle of death in this world. But at the same time, we are also trapped in this in-between area by that giant net."

Chen Hong was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this: "With your strength, crossing that net of death shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"It's not difficult." The emerald dragon soul shook its head slightly.

"Death is not necessarily a bad thing for us. Our understanding of death is different from that of other living beings in this world. Even that fraudster who uses death as a pretext is nothing more than a pitiful person who is deceiving himself."

"We have seen a wider world. At the end of death, there is indeed rebirth, but it is the rebirth of another world."

The emerald dragon soul told Chen Hong something that made his expression change slightly: "All the ancient dragons who died in the Douluo Realm will be reborn in another world with a completely new identity."

"In this respect, we are similar to you extraterrestrial beings, except that we do not carry any memories."

Chen Hong remained silent, his face grave as he pondered the Emerald Dragon Soul's words. The Emerald Dragon Soul's remarks had almost completely overturned Chen Hong's original view of life and death.

Simply put, death within the realm of gods is an internal cycle.

But in reality, true death is the external cycle between different worlds!

"Something's not right!" Chen Hong suddenly noticed a very cruel point!

"If the death cycle within the realm of gods is illusory, then shouldn't the death cycle outside the realm of gods also be illusory?"

"Your comprehension is truly remarkable," the emerald dragon soul remarked sincerely once again.

"There are dragons beyond dragons, and heavens beyond heavens. Above the God-King realm exists a unique realm, and above that unique realm, there also exists a completely new realm."

"So," Chen Hong understood that the emerald dragon soul was preparing to tell him the truth about the Dragon God's Rebellion.

"As you thought, the initial cause of that upheaval was for a higher realm." The emerald dragon soul nodded gently, its fingernails lightly scraping against Chen Hong's shoulder.

"He is far beyond us, so much so that no dragon can know what He has seen in a higher realm."

"This led Him to abandon His breakthrough and instead begin to block the channels to higher realms."

Is there a new realm above the God-King? The answer is simple: no.

However, above the Dragon King, there exists a new realm, whose name is very simple, just two words: Dragon God!
