I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Ji Dong wanted to complain as he watched the two figures walk away. "Aren't you just going to leave like that? Aren't you going to fight the rest of the Dark Continent with us?"

However, looking at the Thunder Prison Battle Axe and Dragon Scale that Xu Xingyu had thrown at him, he sighed helplessly and said, "Never mind, they've helped us enough."

Indeed, not only did they help them deal with the troublesome Holy Saint of the Bright Heaven and the Thorn Thunderfire Dragon, but they also gave them the incomparably precious artifact, the Thunder Prison Battle Axe.

While ninth-tier crystal cores are indeed precious, they are not as valuable as divine artifacts. Although Ji Dong cannot use lightning-attribute divine artifacts, that doesn't mean there's no one else present who can.

Without hesitation, Ji Dong threw the Thunder Prison Battle Axe to Fury, who was fighting against Li Yonghao, the commander of the Dark Continent, known as the ultimate weapon, the Dark Saint of Conkin.

Seeing this, Fury quickly caught the Thunder Prison Battle Axe, and the moment he held it, he could feel a powerful surge of lightning energy coursing through his body.

Fury, who was originally only able to barely contend with Li Yonghao who possessed the ultimate Conkin, gained a multiplied boost to his lightning with the help of the Thunder Prison Battle Axe, and immediately repelled Li Yonghao.

Ji Dong glanced at the Dark Heavenly Stem Saint King, who had been defeated by his senior brother, and nodded slightly before turning back to the battlefield of light and darkness. The interference of the Thorn Thunderfire Dragon and the Bright Heavenly Stem Saints was ultimately just an interlude; the battle between light and darkness continued.

Meanwhile, deep underground in the Five Elements plane lies the Earth's core world.

A girl who looked only eighteen or nineteen years old sat by a crimson lake, staring intently at the scene unfolding before her.

Her long, crimson hair cascaded down her back, just past her hips, like a burning sea of ​​fire.

Her appearance is impeccable; the perfect golden ratio makes her features and contours appear harmonious.

Her fair skin, like lustrous amber, emitted a faint glow, making her look like a goddess sculpted from flames.

She is indeed a goddess, the only god-level powerhouse in the entire Five Elements Plane, the ruler of the Earth's core world, the Flame Queen, Flame. She is also the goddess that Ji Dong has always dreamed of pursuing.

At this moment, the Flame Queen watched everything in the scene with concern, especially everything related to Ji Dong.

Lieyan had always been concerned about Ji Dong's safety, and this worry intensified after they arrived at Holy Evil Island.

Because she knew that no matter what difficulties Ji Dong faced, she could not go to help him; if she did, she would be doomed.

Therefore, Ji Dong has to solve all the dangers on Holy Evil Island on his own. She can only watch from here through the Crimson Lotus Mark as Ji Dong resolves the difficulties in front of him.

However, after Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi appeared, her vigilance instantly increased. This was not only because she, as a god-level expert, could not see through their true strength, but also because she sensed a divine aura emanating from this young man.

Divinity is a special aura that only god-level powerhouses or inheritors of divine positions can possess. The sudden appearance of such a being beside Ji Dong is definitely not a good thing for her.

After she killed the Flame King and the Dark Flame Demon King, who had once ruled the inner world of the earth, the two demon kings told her before they died that her existence was not tolerated by the divine realm.

Although she didn't quite understand the reason, after some investigation, she learned that the current divine realm only allows humans to become gods.

Fortunately, beasts have the option of becoming servants of gods to ascend to godhood. However, the problem is that the divine realm does not classify them as beasts, but rather as the race of abyssal demons.

Blazing Flame knew nothing of the grudges between the so-called race of abyssal demons, only that they were different from the beastmen who had become servants of the gods.

Once any abyssal demon becomes a god or is about to become a god, the gods will immediately send people down to the mortal realm to kill it on the spot, without giving it any chance.

That is why, even though she, Lieyan, yearned for the world beyond the Earth's core, she could only stay in the Earth's core world after scanning the entire continent with her divine sense, fearing that she would be overtaken by some powerful god.

Therefore, after Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi, who were supposed to be inheritors of the gods, appeared, Lieyan immediately wanted to sever his connection with Ji Dong, fearing that these two inheritors would discover him and cause him to be discovered by the gods behind them.

However, to Lieyan's surprise, the boy named Xu Xingyu had such outstanding mental strength. Before she could sever the connection, he discovered the existence of the Crimson Lotus Mark, as if he already knew that Ji Dong had such a thing.

However, upon discovering this, the boy neither revealed it nor contacted the god behind him. It was as if he had known of his own existence and then ignored it, as if he had discovered something that was none of his concern.

"Who exactly is this boy?" Blazing Flame asked疑惑地问道, "If he truly is a divine inheritor who knows of my existence, he should also know that the ascension of an abyss demon to godhood is intolerable to the divine realm. Shouldn't he report it immediately upon discovery?"

"Could it be that he intends to take matters into his own hands? Indeed, he definitely held back when he killed the Thorn Thunderfire Dragon. If he were truly determined, dealing with that Thorn Thunderfire Dragon would only take a moment."

"But such performance is still within the realm of mortals, right? Although those who inherit the divine throne are stronger than ordinary people because they have passed the divine trials, they are still different from true gods until they have fully inherited the divine position."

After much thought, Lieyan still couldn't figure out what Xu Xingyu's purpose was in approaching Ji Dong; it couldn't possibly be just to get close to him.

Although she, Lieyan, is a deity, she doesn't possess many valuable possessions. Being confined to the lowest level of the Earth's core, she has limited resources for creation.

Even something as special as a natal artifact is only in the conceptual stage for her right now; she hasn't even started making it yet.

"However, I'm not completely ignorant of his identity." Lieyan looked at the nine-colored dragon scale in Ji Shou's hand through the screen and muttered to himself, "As expected, that dragon scale should be related to the one that the dragon race worships."

Although her flames reside in the Earth's core, as mentioned before, she had scanned the entire Five Elements Continent with her divine sense, including the Three Harmony Mountains where the Dragon Clan resided.

There, she had seen countless dragons worshipping a mural depicting a nine-colored dragon, and her intuition told her that the nine-colored dragon scales were definitely related to the being in the mural.
