The power and nobility of the Dragon Kings were not something ordinary people could comprehend. To the dragon race and sub-dragons alike, the Dragon Kings were myths in their hearts—supreme, noble, and revered existences.
If anyone had ever seen the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, they might not have been this agitated. But this Dragon Turtle was just a country bumpkin of a Spirit Beast who had no idea Di Tian even existed.
Feeling that aura from a higher being, even the Dragon Turtle, who had lived for one hundred thousand years, felt something like fate. It was as if his choice today could affect the future of the entire dragon race.
Although he was only a sub-dragon, aside from a very small number of sub-dragons, any Spirit Beast with dragon blood would train and evolve toward becoming a true dragon.
His bloodline was not true dragon blood, but he had long since seen himself as part of the dragon race.
"Do you know what it means for one person to become a god first, then help others become gods after?"
"What? Become a god first, then help others become gods?" The Dragon Turtle blinked. After a while, he barely made a guess.
"You mean you want me to become a god, then have me bring you along to become a god?"
"No. I mean, you sacrifice yourself to me. In the future, after I become a god, I will bring you along and make you a god too."
Chen Ming could not understand how this Dragon Turtle had managed to think in the complete opposite direction.
But lifeforms in the Douluo world often had strange and hard-to-understand ways of thinking. Chen Ming felt that, coming from a Spirit Beast, saying something like this was not impossible.
"Human, you've gone too far!"
"Don't think that just because you have the legacy of the Dragon Kings, noble status, and great potential, you can humiliate me like this. I am a noble hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast!"
"A Spirit Beast's sacrifice means burning away its origin and body completely. It means giving everything to a Spirit Master. It is the same as having both body and soul destroyed, leaving nothing behind."
"You telling me to sacrifice myself to you is just telling me to kill myself!"
After hearing Chen Ming's words, the Dragon Turtle trembled with anger.
If not for the powerful Dragon King aura pressing down on him, making it hard for him to attack, the Dragon Turtle would have spat right in Chen Ming's face no matter what.
"Yes, a Spirit Beast's sacrifice means giving everything to a Spirit Master. Once the Spirit Master dies, the Spirit Beast's last bit of soul will also disappear between heaven and earth."
"But things are not absolute."
"As long as the Spirit Master does not die and becomes a god, they can take the Spirit Beast's soul back out from the Spirit Ring and turn it into a divine beast."
"Don't be so quick to deny it. You need to understand one thing. Just because a Spirit Beast cannot become a god in its own form, that does not mean it cannot become a god through a Spirit Master."
"The Heavenly Tribulation targets living beings. But a Spirit Ring clearly is not a living being."
"When one person attains the Dao, even his chickens and dogs rise to heaven. With the power of a god, taking the soul out again and rebuilding the body is not some difficult thing."
The Dragon Turtle's voice carried a trace of anger:
"Why should I believe you can become a god?"
"What you said makes sense. I even think it might be possible. But why should I believe you can become a god?"
"And why should I believe you will revive me after you become a god?"
"Rather than bet my hope on you, I might as well work hard and try to survive the hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation when the time comes."
"Even if I fail in the end, it will still only be the same result: my soul destroyed."
"Why?"
Chen Ming smiled.
"Why, you ask? Come on, feel how strong the dragon aura on my body is. Feel how strong my Martial Soul is."
"The power of the Water Dragon King. The power of the Fire Dragon King. The power of the Earth Dragon King. The power of the Mountain Dragon King."
"Of the Nine Dragon Kings, I have obtained four of their powers."
"Do you think I have a chance to become a god?"
Chen Ming was not angry. He simply held the Dragon Spear and summoned his Sacred Dragon Martial Soul.
Right now, Chen Ming's Seven Luminaries Sacred Dragon Martial Soul was already a powerful existence, second only to the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King.
Water, fire, earth, and mountain.
These four bloodlines came from the Dragon Kings.
Besides that, Chen Ming also had strong light and darkness attributes, as well as a trace of time.
Among the nine Dragon King attributes, Chen Ming had already gathered seven.
Among the nine Dragon King powers, he had already gathered four.
In terms of bloodline strength, Di Tian could barely suppress Chen Ming's Martial Soul with his power, but that did not mean his bloodline was more noble than Chen Ming's.
It only meant Di Tian was stronger right now.
As long as Chen Ming raised his cultivation to the Spirit Saint level, he would be able to suppress Di Tian in bloodline instead.
Even the slightest trace of the four Dragon Kings' power was supreme pressure to dragon-type Spirit Beasts.
The Dragon Turtle lowered his head. He did not even dare look Chen Ming in the eyes.
Other than fear, all he felt was submission from deep in his blood.
His reason told him this was impossible.
But his bloodline told him to kneel right away, and no matter what Chen Ming said, obey without question.
"I possess the power of four Dragon Kings. I have twin Martial Souls. I'm only twelve years old, yet I've already reached Level 50. Tell me, do I have the ability to become a god?"
"You… you are surely qualified to become a god."
The Dragon Turtle spoke to Chen Ming with respect.
No matter what he thought inside, he did not dare show even the slightest disrespect.
If Chen Ming's bloodline had only been a little stronger than his, or if Chen Ming only had the power of the Water Dragon King, then even under bloodline pressure, the Dragon Turtle might still have grown greedy.
He might have wanted to devour Chen Ming's bloodline power and use it to complete his own transformation.
But Chen Ming's bloodline power was far too much stronger than his.
Even if Chen Ming only glared at him, he would have to kneel before Chen Ming on the spot.
Devour Chen Ming's bloodline power?
To put it another way, even if Chen Ming himself offered it to him, the Dragon Turtle would not dare touch him.
That bloodline power could turn him into a true dragon in an instant, then make him explode in the next moment.
And it would be the kind of explosion that destroyed both body and soul, leaving nothing behind.
When others talked about a king's aura, they were joking.
But Chen Ming's current bloodline was true kingly pressure to any dragon.
If Chen Ming only shook his body, fierce beast-level sub-dragons and even true dragons would have to kneel and polish his shoes.
"I dare swear to the Douluo world and to my Martial Soul."
"If you are willing to sacrifice yourself to me, and if I can become a god, then I will do everything I can to revive you from within me and turn you into a true divine beast."
"Do you dare listen to me and sacrifice yourself to me?"
"Are you the reincarnation of one of the Dragon Kings? Or perhaps the bloodline of one of them? Or could you be that legendary… supreme one?" The Dragon Turtle raised his head. A bold guess rose in his heart.
"I am not a Dragon King, and I am not a god. I'm just a human." Chen Ming waved his hand and denied it.
"Mm, mm. I understand, I understand. You are not a Dragon King, and you are not a god!"
