Dongfang Jing hid in a clump of grass nearby, took out her clothes, and changed.
After calming down for a while, Dongfang Jing pretended to be nonchalant and walked back to the four women.
Four pairs of eyes fell on him simultaneously, then subconsciously glanced down at him before quickly shifting back to his face as if burned.
Dongfang Jing cleared his throat, carefully considered his words, and then recounted everything that had just happened to him.
After all, those present were the people he trusted most.
...
After a while,
"Then, a deity came to my rescue. She told me that she was the chosen god and told me about the past of the divine realm and the truth about the fall of the dragon god."
Dongfang Jing roughly recounted that period of divine history, including the Dragon God's madness, the Great War of the Gods, and the Dragon God's final oracle.
The amount of information was so overwhelming that the four women were completely stunned and didn't know how to react for a moment.
a long time,
Xue Di slowly raised her head, looked up at the sky, and sighed softly.
"Cosmic Laws...Dragon God..."
She murmured to herself, her clear, cold voice carrying an indescribable complexity, "So that's how it is. The legend that soul beasts cannot become gods is true. But I always thought it was the divine realm that was hindering it. Who would have thought it was actually a rule established by the Dragon God himself!"
Xue Di turned her head.
Looking at Bi Ji, who had been silent and had a somber expression since earlier, she said, "In the legends I've heard, after the war in the God Realm, one of the true descendants of the Dragon God survived. According to my brother, the Dragon God was split in two by the Asura Divine Sword, and the Golden Dragon King was sealed in the God Realm. So the one who survived and was seriously injured must be the other Silver Dragon King, right?"
After a long silence, Biji replied somewhat uncertainly, "Di Tian only told us about the existence of the Lord, without going into details. Perhaps..."
Brigitte sighed deeply; her mind was in complete turmoil.
So this is the truth of everything?
The interference of the laws of the universe, the madness of the Dragon God, and even his personal decree that unless the Dragon Clan is revived and the Dragon God reappears, the Beast Clan is not allowed to become gods in the God Realm.
Brigitte was lost in memories from long ago.
She remembered that Di Tian had gathered Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, and other ferocious beasts, including herself, to explain that at the center of the bottom of the Lake of Life, there was another space where their soul beast lord slept.
Di Tian also clearly stated that the reason why their soul beasts could not become gods was because of the rules formulated by the God Realm Committee, which was led by human deities, after the Dragon God's defeat.
But now, what I hear from Dongfang Jing is a completely different story.
So, Di Tian... he really didn't know the truth.
Or was it intentional, for the sake of the revival of the dragon race and for the sake of the dragon god?
"Bridget, what are you thinking about?"
Just then, a deep, somewhat cold female voice suddenly rang in her ear.
Following the sound, Biji looked and saw that Wang Qiu'er had appeared in front of her at some point, with a very serious expression and her beautiful blue-pink eyes staring at her intently.
Wang Qiu'er continued, lowering her voice to deliberately prevent someone from hearing.
"I don't care what you think, but you need to understand one thing: Ah Jing almost died just now!"
Upon being reminded, Brigitte shuddered.
yes!
Ah Jing touched the dragon cores of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, and his spiritual world was invaded by their dragon souls. If it weren't for the protection of the gods, he would already be...
Just thinking about that scene made Brigitte feel her heart clench, and she panicked so much that she could hardly breathe.
'I should have been concerned about my disciple first.'
'But how can I...'
On the side,
Hyotei had already circled around Dongfang Jing, reaching out to poke and poke him all over, checking him over.
She couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Amazing! After consuming the immortal herb, your body is truly immune to both fire and water!"
Hyotei moved closer, curiously examining him.
"And you even said you received the inheritance of a god from another world? So, you're already a god? Then this whole ordeal can be considered a blessing in disguise!"
Dongfang Jing shook his head, a hint of helplessness on his face: "Not yet."
He explained, "I must complete several tests, and I will receive a corresponding reward after each test is completed. Only after all the tests are completed can I truly inherit the divine position."
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the center of his forehead.
There, the golden sun mark was quietly imprinted on his skin.
Wang Qiu'er also walked over curiously, raised her hand, and wanted to touch the mark.
But just before the fingertips touched it, they stopped.
She couldn't help but worry and scold, "Although the final result was good, the process was too dangerous!"
The girl's voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, filled with lingering fear.
"What are you going to do with those two dragon pills? Why take such a big risk?"
"Furthermore, according to you, if you inherit the divine position, wouldn't that mean you would also be subject to great limitations?"
"Ah Jing, isn't this what you hate the most?"
Upon hearing this, the four girls' gazes fell on the boy's face.
Dongfang Jing knew that Wang Qiu'er was worried about him, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
The hint of helplessness on his face gradually faded.
Instead, there was an unprecedented solemnity.
"The Dragon Pill can not only make my physical body stronger, but also help me condense my soul core and enhance my strength. With it, I can break through to the Title Douluo level as soon as possible, and even reach the level 100 level."
"As for accepting the divine test, it's not just for my own sake."
Dongfang Jing's gaze swept across the faces of the four women in turn: Wang Qiu'er, Bi Ji, Xue Di, and Bing Di.
"Becoming a god would allow me to access more and reach higher positions. But more importantly, it is my promise to you."
"Suppose I spend many years painstakingly cultivating to level ninety-nine, but like countless predecessors, I still can't find a way to become a god, what should I do?"
"Now, a shortcut is right in front of me, of course I'm going to take it!"
In the end,
Dongfang Jing's face regained that familiar smile, tinged with a sense of relief.
"Besides, this otherworldly sun god seems to be much stronger than any god-king in the Douluo God Realm, or even the dragon god. So you don't need to worry about me."
Looking at the confident yet gentle smile on Dongfang Jing's face,
Listen to his promise to you.
The four women felt a sudden, gentle touch on a certain part of their hearts, a tingling, numb sensation.
This feeling of being constantly thought of, and of striving to keep a promise to oneself...
Wang Qiu'er pursed her lips and turned her head to the side.
But the slight redness on her ears betrayed her feelings at that moment.
Xue Di stepped forward first, stretched out her arms, and gently embraced Dongfang Jing.
A hand gently stroked his hair, and a cool yet soft voice rang in his ear.
"It's good to remember the promise, but the prerequisite is that you have to be alive to fulfill it, right, Bing'er?"
"ah?"
Hyotei paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes! Staying alive is the most important thing! Don't take such risks again next time!"
As Hyotei spoke, he subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to imitate Yuki-tei and pat his younger brother's head to comfort him.
But halfway through her hand, she suddenly realized...
My own height...
