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

Xu Xingyu was delighted looking at the spiritually charged Abyss in his hand. With the awakening of the Thunderous Hell Vine's consciousness as a sword spirit, Xu Xingyu's combat methods had become more diverse. He just didn't know if there would be any other changes.

As if sensing Xu Xingyu's thoughts, the Abyss detached itself from her palm and began to emit bursts of purplish-gold light. •°¤*(¯`★´¯)*¤° 69𝔰𝓗𝔲𝓧.¢𝐨ᗰ °¤*(¯´★`¯)*¤°•.

A streak of purple lightning tore through the air, and then a graceful figure appeared before Xu Xingyu.

Yuanshu transformed into human form, displaying the demeanor of an elegant female warrior. Her long purple hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her braids appearing exceptionally beautiful against the backdrop of lightning. Her purple eyes held profound wisdom and unwavering will, as if she were the embodiment of thunder.

She wore a flowing kimono, which contrasted sharply with the majestic thunder. The lightning patterns on the kimono echoed those on the surface of the abyss, creating a mysterious and awe-inspiring beauty.

This is the sword spirit of the Abyss, the consciousness of the Thunderous Hell Vine! It actually appeared in front of Xu Xingyu in human form at this moment. Its existence seemed to be the embodiment of the power of thunder, showing a unique majesty and temperament.

Xu Xingyu stood frozen in place, staring incredulously at the purple-clad female warrior before her. This was not merely the sword spirit of the Abyss, but a being with independent consciousness and a humanoid form.

"You... are Yuanshou?" Xu Xingyu couldn't hide her surprise.

Upon hearing this, the female warrior bowed to Xu Xingyu with a somewhat dignified expression and said, "Greetings, Master. I am your sword, Abyss. Your enemies are my enemies, and I will cut down anyone who opposes you."

After swearing an oath to Xu Xingyu, Yuanshou transformed back into its previous form of a large sword, quietly resting in Xu Xingyu's palm, awaiting her judgment.

Xu Xingyu stared at the Abyss in her hand in silence for a long time. To be honest, she wasn't that surprised that the Abyss had gained the ability to transform into human form.

After all, there are so-called metallic life forms in the Douluo Universe, and divine artifacts inherently possess sentience, especially something as super-divine as the Abyss. Therefore, theoretically, as long as a divine artifact possesses sufficient sentience, it can transform into human form.

However, many gods do not want their divine artifacts to have too much spirituality. After all, if one day they have a disagreement with the artifact and it becomes unable to work, wouldn't they be the ones who suffer in the end?

Therefore, most deities restrain the spirituality within their divine artifacts, preventing it from growing to a level of wisdom comparable to that of humans, in order to better control it.

However, Xu Xingyu didn't have so many problems, because the Abyss was not only his super artifact, but also his soul.

Simply put, thanks to the soul contract, he doesn't have to worry about Yuan Shou stabbing him in the back one day, because the two are completely one.

Moreover, Xu Xingyu, as its master, could also sense Yuanshou's emotions. Yuanshou herself had no interest in these emotional matters; her only wish was to remain by her side as her weapon and slay all her enemies.

Therefore, Xu Xingyu was not bothered by the fact that Yuanshou's intelligence was comparable to that of a human. What bothered him was why its transformed form was based on a certain thunder god from the neighboring world! Previously, the Seed of the Plane transformed into the little grass god from the neighboring world, and here Yuanshou transformed into a thunder god from the same continent!

He knew he had imitated Thor's behavior during the Soul Master Competition and that some of his Soul Skills were based on that image, but why did it have to be based on that image? If there were any fellow Earthlings here, would he be forcibly labeled as an original?

Forget about it, it's pointless to think about it anymore, and it's not a big deal anyway.

After retrieving the Abyss, Xu Xingyu waved to Gu Qiuxi, who had been protecting him, and said, "Sorry, I didn't keep you waiting, did I?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qiuxi simply smiled and said, "No, it will only take two or three hours."

Xu Xingyu stared at Gu Qiuxi, her lips curving into a slight smile, a smile as warm and bright as sunlight on a lake. She was momentarily mesmerized.

However, Xu Xingyu quickly shook her head and thought to herself, "Xu Xingyu, what are you thinking! This is your sister! Okay, although she's only a foster sister like Xu Yanxue, she's still a sister! You already have enough girls around you!!!"

Just then, the mark that had been silent until now, representing the Dragon God's Trial, began to glow, and a heavy, majestic voice resounded in their minds.

"The third of the Nine Trials of the Dragon God: leave Holy Evil Island and head to the Three Harmony Mountains to help the dragons of this place to once again reunite their lost faith in the Dragon God."

After receiving instructions on the Dragon God's test, Xu Xingyu was slightly surprised. So the dragons of the Five Elements Continent also worshipped the Dragon God? But according to the history that the Starry Dragon Emperor knew in his previous life, the Five Elements Plane should theoretically have been born after the Dragon God War.

The dragons here are all descended from the mating of the ancestor of earth dragons who was sealed in the Sanhe Mountains and the first five Five Elements Dragon Kings. So how do the dragons here know about the existence of the Dragon God?

However, Xu Xingyu quickly suppressed these questions and turned to Gu Qiuxi, asking, "Qiu'er, you heard what the assessment just now was about, right?"

Gu Qiuxi nodded slightly in response, "Yes, to be honest, I didn't expect this mission to be so troublesome."

Reclaiming faith sounds easy, but in reality, it's much more complicated than simply killing enemies.

Because so-called faith is actually an enhanced version of trust, and to make a large number of people believe in oneself with unwavering will, that person is usually someone like a very famous war leader.

The current situation is that the Five Elements Dragon Clan seems to have once worshipped the Dragon God, or still does, but their faith in the Dragon God is not as fervent now, resulting in a decline in the power of faith in the Dragon God's position.

Of course, since the Dragon God's position is not formed through the power of faith, this does not affect its quality. However, even so, the holder of the Dragon God's position bears the responsibility for all the dragons in the Douluo Galaxy. If any party encounters an insurmountable disaster, the Dragon God and his subordinates have a certain obligation to help.

It now appears that because of the fall of the Dragon God, even if the dragons here worship the Dragon God, they cannot receive the Dragon God's blessings. Therefore, I must take the place of the deceased Dragon God to solve the dragons' difficulties.
