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

As the bone dragon fell, Xu Xingyu, in her fused state, also transformed into a beam of light, and the figures belonging to Xu Xingyu and Gu Yuena were separated.

After being separated, the two knelt on the ground, panting heavily. The attack had exhausted all their energy, and they were in a weakened state before they could fully recover.

Fortunately, the previous attack, Creation and Rejuvenation, purified the surrounding destructive power into attribute-free energy, allowing the two to absorb the surrounding energy and recover without hindrance.

As the two recovered, Xu Xingyu began to recall the battle, and then looked at the weak Gu Yuena beside her, a pang of pain flashing through her heart.

Although his memory of the original story after Douluo Continent III was vague, since he didn't have the patience to read it all the way through because it was so bad, he remembered that there was a passage in the original story where Tang Xianyu used the Heavenly Rift Sacred Abyss Halberd to kill a super god-level powerhouse (about a level two god?) when he was level 69.

Admittedly, a large part of his success was due to the energy stored in the Heavenly Rift Sacred Abyss Halberd itself, as well as its ability to ignore defenses, but even so, he succeeded.

Xu Xingyu, having cultivated in the Primordial Realm, questioned whether his understanding, application, and creativity of techniques surpassed those of the Tang family who relied on their past achievements.

As a result, despite having a higher cultivation level than the salted fish and wielding a super artifact, he failed to defeat a level one god, which was truly infuriating.

If he were stronger, Gu Yuena wouldn't have had to pay such a high price to help him. Originally, it was thought that with his current cultivation level, he could take on the responsibility of protecting Gu Yuena.

In the end, he was still the one being protected. This was the first time Xu Xingyu had felt so weak since reaching his current level.

Just then, a voice interrupted his thoughts: "Starry Night, I never thought I'd see such an expression on your face again. It seems that after several reincarnations, your personality isn't as lazy as before."

Xu Xingyu was taken aback and turned to look at the source of the sound.

The skull of the previously fallen bone dragon began to emit an emerald light. The dragon bones shattered, and in its place was a head soul bone. The sound actually came from the head soul bone.

"You...you wouldn't happen to be...Jade?"

Upon hearing this, a voice resounded from within the skull once more, "It is I, the Space Dragon King among the original nine Dragon Kings, and also the Emerald Dragon King. It has been a long time since I last saw you, Starry Sky."

"Yeah, it really has been a long time." Xu Xingyu smiled casually. "But you're still the same as ever, always finding opportunities to make fun of me."

The Space Dragon King responded with a hint of resentment, "Who told you to always take nothing to heart and live only in your own little world?"

"Now that you're starting to take responsibility, you're back to this pathetic state. It would be strange if I didn't mock you, wouldn't it?"

"Hey, Space, you... Waaah..." Gu Yuena immediately wanted to refute the Space Dragon King's words, after all, she had seen Xu Xingyu's contributions to the dragon race over the years.

However, before Gu Yuena could speak, Xu Xingyu stopped her. He himself was still very clear about what he was like as the former Star Dragon Emperor.

Because he didn't want his father and brothers to suffer, he voluntarily withdrew from the right to inherit the Dragon God's position, causing the right to fall to his eldest brother, the Light Dragon King, and the Space Dragon King in front of him.

The Space Dragon King has always harbored some resentment towards his past self, so taking the time to mock him has long been a common practice between them.

"Sigh." A sigh came from the skull: "Forget it, as a sinner of the dragon race, I have no right to say anything more to you."

"A sinner of the dragon race?" Xu Xingyu frowned. Why would the Space Dragon King call himself a sinner of the dragon race?

Even if his memory is incomplete, he knows that the Space Dragon King has always made efforts and contributions to the development of the Dragon Clan. How could he be a sinner of the Dragon Clan?

Could this be related to the fact that the Space Dragon King is in the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Tomb?

The bone dragon that had just fought was also a little confused. Even if the space dragon king was affected by the destructive intent, how could he say such a treasonous thing as the dragon god must die?

Before he could ask what was going on, the Space Dragon King continued talking to himself.

"Starry Sky, you still don't understand yourself enough. With the power you have now, you are more than capable of defeating me when I went berserk."

"It's just that you've been too conservative in using your power, which has led to some shortcomings in your understanding of the power of destruction and creation."

"Remember, don't take your level too seriously. Unless you're facing a God-King level being, no one in this world can stand a chance against you!!!"

"I hope my last bit of strength can help you; it's the only way I can atone for the dragons' sins."

After speaking, the head bone belonging to Jade transformed into a stream of light and actively merged with Xu Xingyu.

The fusion process went unexpectedly smoothly, without the pain of previous body modifications. Xu Xingyu felt the power that the soul bone brought him.

He could feel that with the integration of his soul bones, his understanding and control of spatial power had greatly improved.

Meanwhile, the soul bones of the other eight Dragon Kings also resonated with the arrival of the last Dragon King soul bone.

Water, fire, wind, earth, light, darkness, time, space, and stability—the energies within the nine Dragon Kings' soul bones were activated.

The power of time and stability merged with the Qi and Blood Soul Core in his chest, while the remaining seven elements, drawn by the creative energy, converged in Xu Xingyu's dantian, forming a small vortex.

Xu Xingyu knew this was a sign that his third soul core was about to condense. He really didn't expect that the Space Dragon King and the other eight Dragon Kings would help him so much after their deaths.

With this vortex as a foundation, Xu Xingyu will find it much easier to successfully condense her third soul core, unlike Huo Yuhao in the original story who had to go into seclusion for several years to succeed.

Gu Yuena was very happy about this, after all, she had always been worried about the three-soul core route that Xu Xingyu wanted to take.

Normally, two soul cores are enough. A third soul core is not necessary for advancement. Although you will gain more power after condensing it, the possibility of condensing it is much more difficult as a price to pay.

Especially since Xu Xingyu uses the complementary nature of Yin and Yang to unite things, it becomes even more difficult.

Therefore, with such a prototype in place, when Xu Xingyu condensed the third soul core, he only needed to worry about the mutual interference and the path of soul power movement that would occur when the soul core took shape.

What puzzled Gu Yuena was why Xu Xingyu's expression remained sullen when she fused with the Space Dragon King's soul bone.
