The Dragon God shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"The God Realm originally had humans and Spirit Beasts coexisting, but after I made the grave mistake of disturbing the God Realm, I decreed that Spirit Beasts were not allowed to ascend to Godhood until a Dragon God appeared."
"Without the power of the Dragon God, Spirit Beasts who became Divinities would only bear the blame for my mistakes. In today's God Realm, there are no longer any Spirit Beasts."
Wang Nan was momentarily unable to comprehend the Dragon God's thought process. If there was discord between humans and Spirit Beasts in the God Realm, shouldn't more Spirit Beasts ascend to Godhood to counter human Divinities after the Dragon God's disappearance?
Prohibiting Spirit Beasts from becoming Divinities would surely make it even easier for human Divinities to control a group of Spirit Beasts?
As expected, Wang Nan's doubts quickly became reality.
"Our Spirit Beast cultivation has always been inferior to humans. Since I prohibited Spirit Beasts from becoming Divinities, they have lost the protection of Divinities. To this day, no Spirit Beast has yet obtained the Dragon God Position."
The Dragon God sighed deeply. "I can't wait any longer."
"So you want to pass the Dragon God Position on to me?"
"No, that won't work." The Dragon God shook his head. "It's not that I'm unwilling, but my Dragon God Position requires my Dragon Clan Bloodline to inherit. Humans cannot obtain it."
Wang Nan grew even more puzzled. "Then why go to such great lengths to find me?"
"I have made a grave mistake, and losing my God Position is deserved, but what sin have my people committed? Therefore, I wish to entrust you with helping my descendant inherit my God Position."
"The Dragon God Realm was created by me. My Divine Sense can freely travel through several Worlds connected to the God Realm, observing all living beings. But you are one who has escaped these Worlds."
"Even I can only find the connection between us through your Spirit, and the one who stole my power will never perceive you. Therefore, only you can help me."
"If you agree, everything within this Dragon Valley, except for the items of the God Position Legacy, can be taken by you. The Spirit Beasts of this World will also acknowledge you as their master."
"If the Dragon God Position is successfully passed on, my Dragon Clan will do everything in its power to help you become a Divinity. From then on, whether in the God Realm or other Worlds, you will be an honored guest of my clan."
The matters after becoming a Divinity were still too distant, but since the Dragon God had said that this Dragon Valley was also a "treasure trove," Wang Nan had some ideas.
"So, what exactly is the favor you want me to help with?"
Wang Nan's agreement allowed the Dragon God, who had been immersed in past sorrow, to breathe a slight sigh of relief. A hint of expression finally appeared on his normally placid face.
"Actually, you've already helped me once." The Dragon God raised his head, his nine-colored eyes seemingly looking through the Dragon Valley towards another continent. "My child has already avoided an impending calamity."
"However, just as I said, as long as the destinies of the two are intertwined, they will meet sooner or later, no matter when. Only with you, who is not within the various Worlds, by their side will there be a turning point."
"I can assure you that Divinities will absolutely not personally intervene in this plane, and you will not be affected by other influences. The rest is up to fate."
Once it involved something like fate, the Dragon God's words were always vague and ambiguous. But Wang Nan, after all, had memories of his previous life. He had guessed from the beginning who the child the Dragon God spoke of, who had the chance to inherit his God Position, was.
Wang Nan's mind was filled with thoughts, and his past memories gradually combined with the Dragon God's words. If this truly was a conspiracy to steal the Dragon God's power, then the mastermind behind it was not unfamiliar to Wang Nan.
As Mu En said, even if they were high and mighty Divinities, in his eyes, they were always treated equally. Moreover, he couldn't pursue them to this plane. This favor, he would help.
"Alright, I agree to help you with this matter."
"Thank you." The Dragon God's voice was very sincere. Immediately after, he waved the scepter in his hand, and a nine-colored light appeared out of thin air, slowly floating between him and Wang Nan.
As the light dispersed, Wang Nan saw a bracelet appear before him. The most conspicuous part was a teardrop-shaped gem, radiating the same nine-colored light as the Dragon God's eyes.
"This is the 'Tears of the Dragon God'," the Dragon God said. "This Divine Artifact can use your mental force to construct spatial passages, summoning the true Spirits of the Dragon Clan to fight for you. The stronger your mental force, the stronger the true Spirits summoned. After each use, it requires seven days to replenish the World's primal Energy."
"Likewise, this is also your proof. When the Dragon Clan sees it, they will naturally understand its meaning. Encountering the Dragon Clan can become your aid. You can also use it to contact me. If the power of the God Realm appears, I will warn you."
After Wang Nan agreed to help, the Dragon God's care for Wang Nan was even more meticulous than his own. The great cause of the Spirit Beasts truly rested on him alone.
"I can feel that your Spirit is related to the Dragon Clan. Although that child is not under my jurisdiction, there are still many benefits for you here. You can stay in the Dragon Valley for a longer period."
Saying that, the Dragon God glanced into the distance. "The Dragon Souls here are very helpful to you."
At this point, the Dragon God seemed to finally have shed the burden on his shoulders. He gently waved his hand and once again went to the giant Dragon skeletons, reaching out to caress them.
Now that he understood the full story and had agreed to help the Dragon God, Wang Nan had no intention of being polite with him. Using the metal long rod in his hand, he climbed out of the valley and headed toward the semi-transparent true Dragon phantom not far away.
Although spirit power could not be mobilized here, Wang Nan's rod techniques were unaffected. He could even use this opportunity to more clearly experience the application of mental force. Coupled with his formidable physical strength, the Dragon Souls here were no match.
A moment later, a semi-transparent phantom entered his body. The physical strength he had just expended seemed to have recovered somewhat. In his Sea of Mind, the Evil Breaking Dragon also let out a joyful long roar.
There was no day or night here, and Wang Nan didn't know how much time had passed, perhaps several months, or even longer. He also couldn't remember how many times he had absorbed Dragon Souls, only that various colors and types of Dragon Souls continuously entered his body.
Until he noticed that the suppression of spirit power in the Dragon Valley was no longer as strong as it had been at first, and the spirit power that had been dormant in his body for a long time finally began to flow slowly.
Absorbing Dragon Souls would also enhance his spirit power, but because his spirit power had been unable to be mobilized, he hadn't felt it until now. As he reactivated his spirit power, Wang Nan realized that the spirit power in his body had reached the bottleneck of Level 70.
Wang Nan tried to summon the Coiling Dragon Staff, and the Evil Breaking Dragon appeared beside him.
At this moment, throughout the entire Dragon Valley, Dragon roars rose and fell, and streams of light converged towards him.
There should be another chapter later.
Thank you all for your support. I see that everyone always feels it's too little, so from now on, I will try my best to update with one more chapter. It's just that I'm a slow typist, and one chapter takes about an hour, so I can only say I'll try to maintain two and strive for three.
