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

Amidst this celebratory scene, Xu Xingyu made the most astonishing choice.

He forcibly severed the flow of faith power into his body and expelled the faith power that had already been integrated into his body.

The power of faith, which was originally invisible to the naked eye, appeared as a dense golden mist.

The golden light transformed into a golden oriental dragon that circled around Xu Xingyu, seemingly still not intending to give up its plan to merge with her.

In response, a nine-colored ray of light shot out from between Xu Xingyu's eyebrows and struck the golden dragon formed from the power of faith.

A nine-colored rune remained on the golden dragon's brow, and the golden dragon roared to the sky as if it had received a command. The dragon flames that had not yet dissipated in the sky gathered in the direction of the golden dragon, and finally the gathered dragon flames and the power of faith turned into a sculpture on the altar.

Soon, a golden shield centered on the sculpture began to envelop the entire Sanhe Mountain Range. At that moment, any non-dragon beings from outside were directly repelled and driven out of the Sanhe Mountain Range by this barrier.

At first, the dragons present were terrified by the scene before them, as the sudden appearance of the scene gave them the feeling that they were trapped.

But this feeling of fear was quickly abandoned, because both the true dragons and the sub-dragons present could feel that the power of their bloodline was subtly increasing!

In addition, the spiritual energy of the Sanhe Mountains has become even purer. If cultivating here was three or four times more effective than cultivating outside, it is now five or six times more effective!

This filled the hearts of all the dragons present with gratitude. To express this gratitude, the sky was once again filled with dragon flames and roars, and a strong power of faith appeared and actively merged into the sculpture.

If their previous worship of the Dragon God was merely an obligation, this time it was a heartfelt act! After all, this was the first time they had witnessed a miracle bestowed by the Dragon God!

This Dragon Ceremony will be the most unforgettable Dragon Ceremony for their Five Elements Dragon Clan.

After presiding over the Dragon Ceremony, Xu Xingyu approached the Dragon Emperor and, without waiting for the Emperor to ask what had just happened, began to explain the whole story.

"When your dragon race was worshipping the Dragon God, I clearly felt the power of faith that your dragon race had accumulated over the years, and that power of faith, after sensing my presence, intended to actively merge into my body."

"I did not choose to directly merge with these powers of faith to increase my cultivation. Instead, I chose to separate a part of my divine consciousness and condense these powers of faith into the Dragon God Eagle sculpture that you saw at the ceremony."

"I believe you have also felt that with this Dragon God Eagle sculpture, your bloodline power and cultivation speed can advance further. At the same time, it can also raise a protective shield to protect your dragon race. Only with this protective shield here, unless it is a god-level powerhouse, no non-dragon race can forcibly break in. And if one day a god-level powerhouse really causes you trouble, as the Dragon Emperor, you can call on the power of faith in the sculpture to temporarily raise your cultivation to the god-level to protect the dragon race."

"Note that this sculpture's energy is not limitless; it needs to be replenished with the power of faith periodically. As long as you haven't used it all, replenishing it once a year should be enough. The activation switch is now in your hands, Dragon Emperor."

After speaking, Xu Xingyu handed a stone seal with the words "Star Dragon" on it to the Dragon Emperor. Xu Xingyu had designed this mainly because she had thought of it when discussing the situation of the Forest Demon Clan with Ji Dong.

Unlike the Forest Fairy race, the Dragon race's competitive spirit is ingrained in their bloodline. Therefore, there is no need to worry that they will be content with a peaceful life like the Forest Fairy, and the entire race's cultivation level has always remained around two or three crowns.

While this protective shield could indeed allow dragons to live a life of isolation, given their nature, they would most likely only raise the shield in times of crisis, and otherwise allow other races to pass through the Three Mountains.

If any race wants to challenge them, the dragons will definitely choose to face them head-on, rather than hiding in their protective shield.

After receiving the stone seal, the Dragon Emperor remained silent for a long time. He really didn't know what to say. Xu Xingyu had not only helped them solve the troubles of the small world and helped her daughter be born smoothly, but she had also left them such a solemn thing. This really made him, the Dragon Emperor, feel somewhat ashamed of himself!

In the end, he could only gather his thoughts and say, "Inheritor, are you really sure you don't want to absorb a portion to improve your cultivation? Although I don't have much of a concept of the power of faith, I can sense that absorbing this power will definitely cause your cultivation to improve rapidly."

In the Dragon Emperor's eyes, the gift left by Xu Xingyu was far too precious. He would feel uneasy if Xu Xingyu didn't take a part of it.

Gu Qiuxi, who had been silent all along, looked at Xu Xingyu with some curiosity. You see, the reason they came to the Five Elements Plane was to ensure the Five Elements Dragon Clan's faith in the Dragon God.

Now that the power of faith has been recovered, Xu Xingyu did not choose to absorb it. Instead, she turned the power of faith into something similar to a divine artifact, which surprised Gu Qiuxi.

Xu Xingyu simply shook her head and said, "Using the power of faith to improve my cultivation would also limit me to that power. My personal philosophy is that human will can conquer nature. Although it is the most difficult path, it is also the path that yields the greatest rewards."

Admittedly, Xu Xingyu is currently following the least desirable path to godhood, namely, the method of inheriting a divine position. However, to be honest, Xu Xingyu has no intention of inheriting the Dragon God's position forever.

He treated the Dragon God's trial as a form of training, and after inheriting the Dragon God's divine position, he focused on analyzing the structure of the Dragon God's divine position in order to create a divine position that surpassed both the Dragon God's divine position and the divine positions he had previously possessed.

As for the Dragon God's position, he personally plans to give it to one of his children, Gu Yuena or Gu Qiuxi, whoever is suitable and willing to inherit it. He will also find a way to resolve the unique divine characteristic of the Dragon God's position.

This is why he has no interest in absorbing the power of faith to improve his cultivation, because if he wants to surpass the Dragon God, then he cannot take the path of becoming a god through faith.

After all, becoming a god through faith is faster, but advancing further is extremely difficult. This is because once you become a god through faith, you can't rely solely on yourself for cultivation; you also need to strengthen your faith power to continue moving forward.

Xu Xingyu chose a different path. It required her to have an extremely profound understanding of the power of laws and to possess strength far exceeding that of anyone else. Only in this way could she withstand the tribulations brought about by the laws of the universe on her own and ultimately become a god through power.

Therefore, after Xu Xingyu relinquishes his position as Dragon God, he will have to face the test of the laws of the universe again in order to successfully create the godhood he envisions.
