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

Chapter 602: Crossing Chaos! Meeting the Starry Dragon Emperor!

Endless thunderclouds continued to churn, filling the sky with an aura of destruction.

At this moment, Xu Xingyu stood between heaven and earth, the surrounding space already destroyed beyond recognition by the lightning tribulation.

Although the previous lightning tribulations were extremely dangerous, they were merely a prelude compared to the chaotic lightning tribulation that was about to descend.

Chaotic lightning tribulation is the most primordial and powerful energy in the universe, symbolizing the chaotic origin at the beginning of creation.

All things are born from chaos and return to chaos. The tribulation before us is far more severe than any previous tribulation; it is not only destruction but also creation.

Xu Xingyu took a deep breath, having mobilized all her strength to the limit.

His body was already riddled with holes, but the indomitable will within him kept him standing tall. He knew that this was not just a tribulation of lightning, but a rebirth of his life.

The sky suddenly fell silent, as if all sound had been sucked away, leaving only a suffocating sense of oppression.

Immediately afterwards, a bolt of chaotic lightning suddenly descended. It was a power that transcended all elements, without a fixed form, yet contained the origin of all things.

The lightning struck Xu Xingyu with overwhelming force. He did not dodge, for he knew that this calamity was inescapable; he could only endure it.

boom!

The power of chaos instantly invaded his body, as if it wanted to tear him apart completely.

However, at the same time as this destruction, he also felt a completely new change—the power of chaos was not just destroying, it was reshaping everything within his body.

This power seemed to be heading straight for the core of his soul. His three soul cores—the Sun Soul Core, the Moon Soul Core, and the Star Soul Core—had already reached the level of divine cores during the previous tribulation. And now, these three divine cores were undergoing some kind of strange change under the influence of the chaotic power.

"What is this feeling..." Xu Xingyu murmured softly. He could clearly feel the power of chaos reorganizing his soul core. The three soul cores began to fuse in a mysterious way, as if they were about to transform into a completely new existence.

This fusion was not merely an enhancement of power, but more like a transformation. His body gradually became transparent during this process, as if he were about to merge into the universe.

"My body... no, my soul!"

He was horrified to discover that his soul seemed to be undergoing an unprecedented transformation. His soul seemed to have transformed into a vast galaxy, each star radiating boundless energy, and all of this was growing towards a completely new universe!

Chaotic lightning struck continuously, each bolt tearing Xu Xingyu's body and soul even more thoroughly, while simultaneously propelling him to an even higher realm.

As the final bolt of chaotic lightning struck, his body was instantly blasted apart, transforming into countless specks of light. But in the instant these specks of light scattered, they rapidly coalesced, transforming back into a completely new entity.

At this moment, Xu Xingyu finally overcame the Chaos Tribulation, and his strength achieved an unprecedented leap.

However, when he looked down to feel his own power, he was surprised to find that his power was not as strong as he had imagined; in fact, it had been weakened.

"How could this happen?" Xu Xingyu frowned.

He had clearly completed the nine trials of the Dragon God, and the Dragon God's divine position had already merged with him. Logically, his power should have been even greater.

Just as he was wondering, a deep and familiar voice came from inside him: "That's only natural."

"Who?" Xu Xingyu suddenly looked up, warily scanning his surroundings. But the next moment, his attention was drawn to the Star Soul Bead between his eyebrows.

Suddenly, the Star Soul Bead burst forth with a dazzling light, and a figure slowly emerged from it.

Xu Xingyu's eyes widened. He was extremely familiar with that figure—it was his first life!

"The Starry Dragon Emperor..."

The figure slowly solidified, revealing a face exactly like Xu Xingyu's, but with a completely different temperament.

It was a transcendent majesty, as if he himself were the embodiment of the stars, the master of the universe.

"Well, in this life, you've finally reached this level." The Starry Dragon Emperor smiled and spoke, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing, yet also revealing a touch of satisfaction.

Xu Xingyu's heart was filled with shock. He never expected that he would see his past life when he crossed the Chaos Tribulation and completed the Nine Trials of the Dragon God.

"You...I..." Xu Xingyu opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

The Starry Dragon Emperor chuckled lightly and said calmly, "It seems you have many questions. Don't worry, I will answer all your questions over the next period of time."

"And as you ask why I exist when you already exist? I am merely a memory of you from your past life, separated before your reincarnation. My existence is solely to convey something to you at this moment and give you a choice."

"A choice?" Xu Xingyu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes," the Star Dragon Emperor nodded, "but before that, I'd like to explain why your strength has been weakened."

"Actually, it's very simple, because the position of the Dragon God is already a burden for you."

"A burden?" Xu Xingyu frowned.

"Yes." The Star Dragon Emperor's expression turned serious. "While the Dragon God's position is powerful, its power was essentially designed for the original Dragon God. You, however, have long surpassed the limits that the original Dragon God could reach. In other words, this position is actually a constraint for you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingyu suddenly understood. No wonder he felt his power had decreased after fusing with the divine position; it turned out to be due to the limitations of the Dragon God's position.

"So, how should I solve this problem?" Xu Xingyu asked.

The Starry Dragon Emperor smiled slightly, a profound light flashing in his eyes: "The answer is simple: create your own divine position."

"My own divine position..." Xu Xingyu murmured to herself, countless thoughts surging in her mind.

The Starry Dragon Emperor slowly approached, gently placing his hand on Xu Xingyu's shoulder, and said, "However, before that, I will give you a choice: to peacefully inherit the Dragon God's position. Even if the Dragon God's position weakens your true power, the strength you can exert is already comparable to that of a primordial god."

"Or perhaps we should continue on this path, understand the truth of everything, and reach true transcendence."

Although Xu Xingyu didn't quite understand, he could sense that the person in front of him was indeed a memory that had been separated from his own, and that the person hadn't lied to him.

Finally, Xu Xingyu closed her eyes and said, "I want to know the truth of everything! I have a feeling that if I want to protect what I want to protect, then simply holding the title of Dragon God is not enough!"

Upon hearing this, the Starry Dragon Emperor chuckled and said, "As expected, you will choose this path... As expected of me..."

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it, and the Star Soul Pearl once again burst forth with dazzling light, enveloping Xu Xingyu within it.

"Next, I will pass on all my memories to you, memories that contain all the truth. But remember, you are you, and I am me. Do not be swallowed up by these memories; maintain your own identity."

"Although I am your past life, you and I are both the same and different beings."

At this moment, the light within the Star Soul Pearl suddenly transformed into a vast galaxy, with each star containing countless fragments of memory.

They transformed into countless points of light, slowly merging into Xu Xingyu's brow, as if the truth of the entire universe was surging into the depths of his soul at this moment.
