When Xuan Hao woke up again, he felt completely refreshed.

The Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone not only granted him powerful regenerative abilities, but also opened up and widened all the meridians in his body, and even made his soul power more refined.

More importantly, the Silver Dragon Martial Soul's perception of elements was enhanced several times over under the combined effect of the Soul Bone and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!

Just as Xuan Hao was about to go ashore.

Sudden.

An unparalleled, terrifying suction force emanated from the depths of the spring, instantly enveloping his body!

"Holy crap?!"

Xuan Hao was shocked and tried to struggle, but found that the surrounding space seemed to have frozen, and he could not even teleport.

He was dragged like a weight towards the bottom of a bottomless abyss!

Descent...and more and more...

Until the surrounding light completely disappeared, replaced by a strange light curtain interwoven with red and blue.

"Om-"

Two immense, ocean-like pressures descended instantly.

Xuan Hao struggled to open his eyes, his pupils dilating instantly.

Before him, two enormous dragon souls, obscuring the sky and covering the sun, were slowly circling.

The one on the left is entirely ice blue, and its whiskers seem to freeze the very space around it as they flutter.

The one on the right is fiery red, and its scales seem to flow with lava as they open and close.

Ice Dragon King! Fire Dragon King!

"Humans..."

"No, a boy with the bloodline of a true dragon."

Two majestic voices exploded in Xuan Hao's mind.

Immediately afterwards, two enormous dragon souls, one blue and one red, rose from the dragon bones and hovered around Xuan Hao, their huge dragon eyes staring intently at him.

"We are the ancient Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King."

"He suffered a great calamity and tragically perished here, leaving only his remnant soul to eke out a living."

The Ice Dragon King brought its massive head close to Xuan Hao, its tone carrying a deliberate air of "appreciation" and "admiration":

"Ten thousand years..."

"We have slumbered here for ten thousand years, and finally we have met a peerless genius who possesses two true dragon martial souls!"

"Young man, your talent is astonishing."

"We've got our eyes on you!"

"If you are willing to inherit our mantle, we are willing to pass on all our dragon bones, dragon soul, and even our understanding of the elements to you!"

Xuan Hao: "..."

He floated in mid-air, watching the two perform with such passion, completely bewildered.

You've got your eye on me?

no……

Na'er is up there!

Whether she is an avatar or the true form of the Silver Dragon King, the aura of the Silver Dragon King emanating from her is undeniable! He is your supreme ruler! He is your leader!

Why do you abandon the real boss above and come down to me, a mixed-race person with only a little bit of blood, and say you've taken a liking to me?

Is this reasonable?

"that……"

Xuan Hao swallowed hard and asked tentatively, "Two Dragon Kings, are you... mistaken about something?"

"There's a little girl up there too, she also..."

"Shut up!"

The Fire Dragon King suddenly shouted, interrupting Xuan Hao's words, his tone revealing a hint of guilty urgency:

"What little girl? You're all we see!"

"Your Golden Dragon Martial Soul is the progenitor of power, and your Silver Dragon Martial Soul is the master of elements! You are the once-in-ten-thousand-years hope of the dragon race!"

"Enough with the nonsense! You have to accept this inheritance whether you like it or not!"

Xuan Hao: "???"

Is this inheritance or kidnapping?!

"Since you two seniors are so hospitable, wouldn't it be rude of me to refuse?"

Xuan Hao looked at the two dragon kings eager to offer him this opportunity. Although he still felt something was off, he thought, "Only a fool wouldn't take advantage of a good deal." Only a fool would refuse such a windfall.

"but……"

Xuan Hao blinked and said innocently, "The two seniors just said they would pass on their mantle. Does that mean I can directly inherit divine power and become an unparalleled expert right now?"

"Think beautifully!"

The Fire Dragon King snorted coldly, and a wave of heat emanated from its massive dragon nose, making Xuan Hao's hair dance wildly. "You have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time. Our power is immense; if we were to force it all on you now, your little body would instantly explode into a bloody mist!"

"Although we admire your talent, the Dragon King's legacy is no child's play."

“From today onward, we will reside within you, guide you, observe you, and even test you. Only when we are certain that your character and perseverance are worthy of this power will we pass on the true core inheritance to you.”

"This power..." The Fire Dragon King paused, his tone becoming extremely solemn, "is enough to help you break through the limits of mortals and ascend to the realm of gods!"

Seeing that Xuan Hao looked like he understood but not quite, shocked but not completely dumbfounded.

"Splash—"

The Ice Dragon King's enormous dragon soul phantom suddenly shattered, transforming into countless ice crystals. These ice crystals then converged before Xuan Hao, coalescing into the figure of a woman in an ice-blue dress, possessing unparalleled beauty yet exuding a cool and noble aura.

She walked barefoot through the void, each step leaving faint traces of frost in the air. She approached Xuan Hao, her beautiful, icy blue eyes staring directly into his.

"Little one, you probably don't realize what this means yet."

"The so-called titled Douluo of mankind, even the peerless Douluo, are nothing more than slightly stronger ants in front of true gods, and are easily defeated."

"For humans to transcend the mortal realm, take that step, and reach the divine realm, they need immense opportunities, and even the favor and blessing of the gods."

"But we are different."

The Ice Dragon King extended his slender finger and gently tapped Xuan Hao's forehead:

"The Fire Dragon King and I were once the most powerful deities in the divine realm. We can help you take that step directly without any divine testing."

"However, the path to godhood is not something that can be achieved overnight. Your current talent is indeed surprising, but whether you can truly reach that point depends on your future performance."

"clear."

Xuan Hao nodded, his face showing no sign of the fervor ignited by the "pie in the sky," but instead spoke with unusual calm:

"It's just like a gambling table."

"Even if my current hand looks like a straight flush, it still depends on what the last hole card is. If you have a good hand at the beginning and you go all in right away, but I play terribly later, then you'll really lose everything."

"Therefore, it's only right to observe and play it safe."

"..."

Chapter 68 Life is like a play, all about acting skills

……

The Ice Dragon King was clearly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He obviously didn't expect this human child, who was only eight or nine years old, to say such a thing.

Although the metaphor sounds strange, even a bit vulgar, it is... spot on.

This child... is not only exceptionally gifted, but also possesses an extraordinary intellect. Faced with the temptation of divine inheritance, he was able to maintain such a calm mind, and even analyze our mentality in turn.

This is definitely not something an ordinary child could do.

No wonder the Silver Dragon King chose to seal his memories to observe him... This little guy is indeed worth being wary of, but also worth looking forward to.

Thinking of this, the Ice Dragon King abandoned his previous arrogant and deliberately mysterious demeanor, and his eyes became more serious.

"You're quite insightful."

The Ice Dragon King chuckled softly, a smile as beautiful as melting ice and snow, breathtakingly so. "I didn't expect you to be so insightful at such a young age."

"Since you're a smart person, I won't beat around the bush with you."

"That's right, it's a bet."

“There’s no such thing as goodwill without a reason, let alone such a tremendous opportunity that could change one’s destiny.” Xuan Hao looked directly at the Ice Dragon King and asked the most crucial question: “Then I would like to ask… what exactly do you want to gain by betting on me?”

"Of course, it's for revitalization..."

Before the Fire Dragon King could finish speaking, the Ice Dragon King raised his hand to interrupt him.

Looking into Xuan Hao's clear yet deep eyes, the Ice Dragon King knew that those high-sounding reasons wouldn't fool this brat.

"There are many purposes."

The Ice Dragon King said slowly, "But if I had to say what I want most... it would naturally be rebirth."

"Reborn?" Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow.

"Yes."

A hint of desolation and longing flashed in the Ice Dragon King's eyes. "I have been here for hundreds of thousands of years. My dragon body has decayed and turned into this spring of ice and fire. Although my dragon soul is still barely clinging to life, my divine consciousness... collapsed when my divine position was shattered, falling into spiritual consciousness."

"I don't know how long this consciousness can last. Perhaps a thousand years, perhaps ten thousand years. When this last bit of consciousness dissipates, I will be completely dead. Even if the dragon soul is still there, it will just be an energy body without thought."

"I'm not reconciled."

The Ice Dragon King's voice became firm, "So I want to take a gamble on you."

"Only when you step into the realm of gods and possess the power of gods will there be hope of repairing my divine consciousness, reshaping my divine body, and truly resurrecting me."
