Seeing that Lin Chen had stopped her, the Goddess of Life asked gently, "Is there anything else?"
Lin Chen dared not delay. He immediately took out a pure white, seemingly ordinary seed from his spatial ring, handed it to everyone, and asked in a deep voice, "Esteemed God Kings and Dragon Gods, do you know what this is?"
He had obtained this seed by chance in an ancient ruin many years ago. It seemed ordinary, but it always emitted a faint life fluctuation. He had studied it for a long time but could not figure out its use. Now that he saw the gods gathered together, he wanted to take the opportunity to ask them about it.
When the goddess of life's gaze fell upon the seed, her beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face. She exclaimed in astonishment, "You're incredibly lucky, kid! To think you could find such a treasure!"
Her reaction drew the attention of the other god-kings present. Even the usually aloof Asura God-King, the charming Evil God-King, and the holy and kind Goddess all showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.
The Dragon God's enormous dragon eyes narrowed slightly, and nine-colored divine light swept over the seed. His tone was full of admiration: "You even managed to get your hands on such a treasure. Tsk tsk tsk, you have more secrets than we imagined!"
Lin Chen, intrigued by their questions, quickly pressed on, "Please stop beating around the bush, what exactly is this? And what is it for me?"
The Goddess of Life gently raised her hand, and a wisp of warm life energy brushed over the seed. The pure white seed immediately shimmered with a faint seven-colored halo. She spoke slowly, her voice carrying a hint of solemnity: "This thing is called the Seed of the World!"
"The Seed of the World..." Lin Chen held the seed, his heart surging with shock, "Could it really give birth to a world?"
The Goddess of Life nodded solemnly: "As the name suggests, this seed can evolve the universe after it takes root. However, it requires a massive amount of primordial power to nourish it. At least a Title Douluo level of power is needed to barely urge it to sprout."
Lin Chen gently stroked the warm seed with his fingertips, then looked up at the gods with a burning gaze: "Since I am your chosen successor, you must guarantee my safety, right?"
The Goddess of Life's heart skipped a beat, a strange unease rising within her. Even this god-king level being had a premonition of unrest: "What do you want to do?"
"Playing with my life." Lin Chen uttered two words, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.
Just as the Goddess of Life was about to speak up to dissuade him, the God of Destruction, who was standing to the side, became interested. With a wave of his hand, he enveloped Lin Chen in purple divine power: "Alright! I'd like to see how you're going to risk your life!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Chen felt the world spin around him as the teleportation power activated. He hurriedly shouted, "Don't send me back to Sunset Forest! Find somewhere far away, not too far from Heaven Dou City!"
"I know, you're so long-winded!" the God of Destruction replied impatiently, his fingertips subtly shifting divine power to adjust the teleportation coordinates.
Lin Chen understood. The commotion he caused by absorbing the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King and triggering the inheritance of the God King was too great. Sunset Forest had already become a place of trouble, which would inevitably attract the attention of powerful figures such as the Silver Dragon King and Bibi Dong. Only the vicinity of Heaven Dou City, with its complex and intertwined forces, could provide a temporary respite from the limelight.
The next second, the light faded, and Lin Chen landed steadily.
Inside the hidden space, the Goddess of Life glared at the God of Destruction with a face full of resentment, and scolded, "Little Purple, couldn't you have waited until he finished speaking before sending him away? Heaven knows what outrageous things that audacious brat might do!"
The God of Destruction shrugged indifferently, put his arm around the Goddess of Life's waist, and said nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? Even if he rips the sky off Douluo Star, with us here, how can he turn the world upside down? With his current strength, how much trouble can he cause? Let's go back and wait to see his show."
With that, purple and green divine light intertwined, and the couple vanished instantly. The Dragon God also let out a deep dragon roar, and his nine-colored figure disappeared into the chaos.
As the play ended, the three god-kings—Asura, Good, and Evil—exchanged smiles and departed one after another, and the hidden space where the god-kings had gathered returned to silence.
Meanwhile, on the outer edge of Sunset Forest on Douluo Star.
The moment Lin Chen was pulled into the mysterious space and the power of the three gods intertwined, four figures had already quietly arrived.
Leading the group was none other than Yue Guan, the Chrysanthemum Douluo of the Spirit Hall, dressed in a magnificent robe with chrysanthemum patterns and a solemn expression. Beside him stood the Ghost Douluo, whose figure was as ethereal as a shadow. The other two were also present: one was as agile as a leopard, surrounded by dark purple soul power, and was none other than the Ghost Leopard Douluo; the other had a kite shadow hidden behind him, with a sharp aura, and was none other than the Spirit Kite Douluo.
"Did you all feel it?" Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice trembled, his eyes filled with awe. "That power... it's terrifying! In front of it, I'm like a mortal facing one of our Title Douluos, I don't even have the courage to raise my head!"
Ghost Leopard, Spirit Kite, and Ghostly Charm all nodded in unison, their faces pale, clearly all stunned by that supreme divine power.
Just then, a cold and majestic male voice suddenly rang out beside the four of them, carrying an undeniable dragon's aura:
"This is the power of the Dragon God."
The four titled Douluo froze, turning their heads sharply to look.
Not far away, beneath an ancient tree, stood a man in black. He was tall and straight as a spear, with black hair cascading down like a waterfall. His face was cold and stern, his vertical pupils were a brilliant gold, and the whites of his eyes were as black as ink. A faint aura of a black dragon surrounded him. Just by standing there quietly, the air seemed to freeze.
The man in black stood rooted to the spot, his golden eyes gazing in the direction Lin Chen had vanished, and murmured with a sigh, "The aura of the Dragon God has reappeared. My soul beast race is finally about to usher in its day of revival..."
His tone was filled with barely concealed excitement and piety, as if he had seen the hope for the rise of soul beasts.
Seeing that he ignored them, the four members of Chrysanthemum Douluo were immediately enraged. Yue Guan shouted sternly, "Who exactly are you? How dare you speak so recklessly here! State your name at once!"
They could clearly sense that the aura of the man in black before them was unfathomable, no less than that of Pope Bibi Dong, and perhaps even stronger. He was definitely a reclusive peerless Douluo!
The man in black didn't even lift an eyelid, as if the four Title Douluos were nothing more than ants and dust in his eyes. He took a light step, and the space in front of him instantly distorted, forming a pitch-black spatial passage, clearly intending to leave directly.
"Insolence!" Ghost Leopard Douluo roared, "He thinks he can escape from us? Take him down!"
The four titled Douluo attacked simultaneously, their spirit rings surging: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black! All nine rings shone brightly, their oppressive aura sweeping across the surrounding area!
"Martial Soul True Form!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, Ghostly Shadow, Ghost Leopard's Black Demon Leopard, and Spirit Kite's Azure Flying Kite—the four true forms of their martial souls—simultaneously appeared and joined forces to bombard the man in black!
However, the man in black simply raised his right hand and waved it lightly.
"roar--!"
A deafening roar of a black dragon resounded, and a gigantic black dragon claw, blotting out the sky and carrying boundless dragon might, crashed down!
"Bang!!!"
The four Martial Soul True Forms collided with the Black Dragon Claw, unleashing a deafening roar. The four Title Douluos felt an irresistible force, their bones creaking as if struck by a mountain. They were instantly sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out blood.
With just a casual strike, it was enough for four Title Douluos to exert all their strength and use their Martial Soul True Body to barely withstand it!
When they scrambled to their feet, the man in black had already stepped into the spatial passage and vanished without a trace, leaving only a faint aura of a black dragon to prove that he had been there.
"Huff... huff..."
The four titled Douluo were panting heavily, their faces ashen, their eyes filled with disbelief, shock, and fear.
"Who...who exactly is this person?" Ling Yuan Douluo's voice trembled. "A casual strike from him has left the four of us in such a sorry state. This strength...is terrifying!"
"When did such a powerful figure appear on the continent?" Ghost Douluo's expression turned solemn. "He is definitely not a human Title Douluo, that dragon's might... could it be..."
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's face was ashen. He said in a deep voice, "Never mind who he is! This person's strength is unfathomable, and he is also related to that terrifying power just now. We must report to His Holiness the Pope immediately! This matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed in the slightest!"
Inside the Spirit Hall branch hall of Heaven Dou City, four Title Douluos had solemn expressions, their soul power not yet fully recovered.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan took out a jet-black elder's token and handed it to a slender, agile Soul Saint beside him. He said in a deep voice, "Take this token and return to the Papal Palace as quickly as possible to meet His Holiness the Pope! Report to His Holiness the Pope exactly what happened in Sunset Forest, including the appearance of a suspected Peerless Douluo aura and the black-clad Peerless expert!"
"Yes!" The Soul Saint accepted the elder's order and, without delay, disappeared outside the hall in a flash.
"Our mission is to find Lin Yuan and bring him back to the Papal Palace," Ghost Douluo said coldly. "If we fail, the four of us will not need to return to report."
The other three Title Douluos nodded in unison, a ruthless glint in their eyes. That kid possessed a powerful treasure; they had to bring him under the control of the Spirit Hall no matter what!
Meanwhile, deep within the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, lies a hidden space shrouded in dragon energy.
Di Tian knelt respectfully on one knee and reported to the stunning silver figure before him: "My lord, I have ascertained that the supreme aura of Sunset Forest is none other than the divine power fluctuations of Lord Dragon God! Moreover... Lord Dragon God has not perished and seems to be searching for a successor!"
His voice was excited, his golden vertical pupils filled with wild joy: "Our soul beast race is finally going to turn the tables! We will no longer have to suffer the oppression of human soul masters!"
The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, dressed in a long silver-white dress with her silver hair flowing down, possessed unparalleled beauty, yet her expression was cold and aloof. She nodded slightly and said, "I understand. You should go back and focus on your cultivation. When the time is right, you will have your day to make your move."
"Yes, my lord!" Di Tian respectfully kowtowed and turned to retreat into the spatial rift.
After Di Tian left, Gu Yuena's beautiful face was instantly filled with worry, and a trace of complexity and unease flashed in her silver eyes.
"The Dragon God... he didn't die, and he even left with his complete divine position..." she murmured softly, her fingertips trembling slightly.
After the Dragon God War, she and the Golden Dragon King both believed that the Dragon God had perished and that only by devouring each other and merging their divine essences could they reclaim the Dragon God's position. But now the truth has come to light: the Dragon God is not only alive, but is also searching for a successor!
This means that her existence, along with that of the Golden Dragon King, might have been superfluous from the very beginning. In fact, once a new Dragon God is born, she, the Silver Dragon King, could very well become a stepping stone for the new Dragon God to fuse their power and achieve complete divine power!
"I'm not reconciled..." Gu Yuena's silver eyes suddenly turned cold, and her silver-blue dragon aura surged around her. "I've been planning for billions of years, how can I let it all benefit someone else?"
When Di Tian arrived, the inheritor had already vanished without a trace, causing her to miss the opportunity to seize the inheritance.
But she was not discouraged. Her icy gaze pierced through space, as if she could see the distant direction of Heavenly Dou City. She whispered, her voice filled with chilling coldness: "No matter who you are... next time, you won't be so lucky. I will definitely get your Dragon God inheritance!"
