In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 242 Not-So-Smart

"Whatever! At least the result is good for me now." After a moment of thought, seeing the memory fade away, the soul bones fused, and his consciousness return, Zhu Wu no longer thought about it and turned to check on himself.

Based on the portion of the Dragon God's memories that he had just inherited, he could roughly guess the origin of the true dragon soul bone that had been integrated into his body.

The Mountain Dragon King's torso grants him the ability to control stability and makes him more compatible with the earth element. As the core, it also helps him draw upon other elements to construct mountains and continents, stabilizing space. Simultaneously, it bestows upon him extraordinary defensive capabilities, protecting his internal organs.

The Time Dragon King's skull of wisdom granted him the ability to manipulate time.

The Space Dragon King's two horns, with their attached soul bones, fused with the Wisdom Soul Bone, allowing him to more easily manipulate the power of spacetime.

The Dark Dragon King's right arm bone, belonging to the dragon king who controls darkness and annihilation, naturally possesses formidable offensive capabilities. Darkness, along with ice and water, belongs to the Yin element, thus this soul bone not only grants his right arm immense offensive power but also allows him to wield ice and water-attribute abilities with greater ease. Conversely, the Light Dragon King's left arm bone, aligned with light and fire, allows him to effortlessly utilize fire abilities with his left arm.

Both soul bones were intact, complete with arms and claws, with external palm bones and such omitted.

The Earth Dragon King's right leg bone makes him more compatible with the earth element, helping him to harness the power of the earth.

The Wind Dragon King's left leg bone helps him control the power of wind elements and greatly increases his flight speed. Correspondingly, the Wind Dragon King's tailbone further enhances his speed. The fact that only the upper half of the Mountain Dragon King's torso was fused with it, rather than the complete Mountain Dragon King's body, suggests that the Dragon God considered the Mountain Dragon King's tail too cumbersome and hindering flight, thus replacing it.

The dragon wings, evolved from the external soul bone Eight Spider Lances, undoubtedly evolved once again, fusing with his true dragon body to become four pairs of wings. From a distance, they did indeed resemble wings, with seven-colored scales. Upon closer inspection, they were irregularly shaped, seven-colored, cone-shaped scales, as clear as crystal, layered upon each other, with incredibly sharp edges; each scale was like a sharp dagger.

Especially the widest scales along the edges of the wings, arranged neatly, resemble large knives.

As the view shifted, the scales of the entire dragon's body had transformed into seven colors, identical to those of the dragon god's phantom seen earlier. Its size had also increased, exceeding 200 meters in length, with a long, slender tail—undoubtedly a result of fusing with the tailbone of the Wind Dragon King.

It is really incredibly long, with a streamlined silhouette that seems designed specifically for flying against the wind. The lower inner edge becomes flatter towards the back, until it becomes as thin as a blade, giving the impression that a flick of its tail could slice anything in half on the spot.

Further ahead is the dragon's head, its overall image largely unchanged, still featuring the original two large dragon horns, only now the forks on both sides are more numerous, curved, and sharper. It looks ancient and imposing, adding to its overall sense of age.

His enormous eyes transformed into nine colors, radiating a faint nine-colored glow, exuding majesty and divine charm.

Looking inside, the heart is also shrouded in nine colors, and its heartbeat is strong and powerful.

In comparison, the strength of his muscles was far inferior to that of his other organs, and he could clearly feel the huge difference.

Undoubtedly, even with the God-King level soul bones of the Seven Dragon Kings integrated, his overall physical strength wouldn't be improved overnight. It truly is a titanium alloy skeleton paired with aluminum alloy internal components, a top-of-the-line central processing unit paired with third-rate software.

He doesn't even need to think about upgrading everything to the top configuration; it's destined to be a long modification process.

What he lacks most right now is time; he needs to wait for his bones and heart to work together to bring his physical strength to the same level. During this time, he will undoubtedly need a sufficient supply of nutrition, and eating will be the main theme of his training from now on.

Of course, there's also sucking.

It might sound unbelievable, but his cultivation level hadn't improved at all, and his soul power was still around level 57 or 58. The Dragon God's divine sense had upgraded his body, this massive iron bucket, filling it with materials and capacity, but without filling it with water. Well, not exactly without filling it, it was all poured into the inner space to modify the small world.

His inner space is now vast, several kilometers in diameter, containing volcanoes, glaciers, and rivers, each perfectly sized to accommodate the dragon's body of the corresponding attribute from Dragon Valley. He suspects the Dragon God did this intentionally, wanting him to collect all these dragon bones and souls into his inner space, nourishing them with his Dragon God bloodline and the essence of the sun and moon it absorbed.

Another purpose was probably to let him go out and cause trouble.

As for Dragon Valley, it will be reserved for last, used to fuel the final evolution of the small world within the body. As a small plane constructed from the energy of numerous fallen true dragons, every blade of grass and every tree here is imbued with extremely pure elemental energy—the kind that's highly nourishing.

If one successfully devours their own little world, there will undoubtedly be great progress.

Accumulation for a final explosion—is this what the Dragon God meant?

I'm the scumbag!?

The Dragon God created the God Realm by exploiting the entire Douluo Continent back then, and now they want him to do it all over again?

With his current abilities, it's clearly impossible for him to devour the Dragon Valley plane. Although his mental power has reached an extremely terrifying level, it hasn't transformed into a divine soul or possessed divine consciousness.

The quantity has increased, but the quality has not changed.

The small world constructed by the gods undoubtedly requires one to reach godhood to absorb it. One may not have a divine position, but must possess god-level strength and control. Having been forced to grow stronger through the plucking of his feathers to build his foundation, he clearly still has many things to catch up on.

Firstly, regarding his cultivation level, with his body having been modified and expanded, advancing even one level now undoubtedly requires significantly more energy. While others might only be advancing one level as Soul Kings, for him it's equivalent to advancing one level as a Title Douluo. However, the increased potential of his body also means a faster cultivation speed. With his current physical strength, he can easily sustain a full day of cultivating the Vajra Longevity Technique.

Therefore, the speed of soul power cultivation should not be too slow.

"Hmm, after I get out, I need to find a good place to go into seclusion and cultivate myself properly," he thought to himself.

"I can absorb four more spirit rings. Next is the age limit of the spirit rings. I'll set a small goal for now: to upgrade them all to the million-year level, and then integrate them into my body for a final push. In addition, there are spirit cores. I can condense two more in my upper and middle dantian."

"The next step is to elevate the soul into a divine soul, and the soul core transforms into a divine core, thus gaining divine consciousness and divine power."

"The Vajra Longevity Technique cultivates both the body and the spirit, which is perfect for speeding up the process."

"When both body and soul reach godhood, that is the final transformation."

Thinking this, he slowly opened his eyes, revealing nine-colored vertical pupils.

"Brother Tian!" Long Ling'er, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground below, quickly stood up, her face full of surprise.

The countless dragon souls around them craned their necks in anticipation, and when they saw Zhu Wu looking over, they all lowered their heads slightly.

At the forefront are the Seven Dragon Kings, whose dragon souls have shrunk countless times in size. Each of them has a wise look in their eyes, but they don't seem very smart.
