The Scheming Dragon God

Lin Hai naturally understood the feelings these two big guys had for Xiao Wu, and he never expected them to really treat him as their "brother-in-law".

He shook his head indifferently and explained:

"Xiao Wu and Ah Rou are both doing well; they are participating in a very important assessment on Sea God Island."

"The process will take a considerable amount of time, and we probably won't be able to return anytime soon."

Upon hearing this, Da Ming nodded slightly with his enormous bull head, a thoughtful look flashing in his deep eyes.

Er Ming remained silent, clumsily poking at the surrounding plants with his large hands, as if to say, "Whatever you talk about, I'm not interested."

Lin Hai chatted with Da Ming for a while longer, then bid farewell and headed alone into the deeper part of the area inhabited by the Ferocious Beast.

This time, he didn't use Teleportation again, but strolled forward as if taking a leisurely walk, as if he wanted to feel the pulse of this ancient land.

As he walked, seemingly bored, Lin Hai "casually" inquired about the long-buried secret from the two goddesses residing in his dantian.

The Dragon God War the Five Great God Kings and the Dragon God.

"You know quite a lot!" The Goddess of Life sat under the lush Bodhi Ancient Tree, gently kicking her fair legs, her tone tinged with surprise.

But she didn't say anything more, knowing that Sister Ashan would explain to him.

Sure enough, the voice of the Goodness Goddess rang out next, gentle yet with a hint of inquiry:

' Lin Hai, why did you suddenly ask about this?'

Lin Hai's expression remained unchanged, and he replied in his mind:

'I just want to know, why did the Dragon God and you set the rule that forbids Soul Beast from becoming gods?'

"How much do you know about the causes and consequences of that great war that swept through the Divine Realm back then?" The Goodness Goddess did not answer directly, but asked in return.

Lin Hai pondered for a moment, then revealed the information he knew:

'As far as I know, the Dragon God is ambitious and attempts to evolve the Dragon God Domain into a higher-level God Star.'

'But a major accident seemed to have occurred midway, causing Him to descend into madness, which triggered the great war with the Divine Realm.'

'In the brief moment when He regained His sanity, He asked the Asura God to sever His body and soul, and at the same time, to divide His good and evil thoughts in two.'

'And a rule was established: unless the Dragon God reappears, Soul Beast can never become gods.'

Upon hearing this, the Goodness Goddess nodded gently, her tone tinged with a mixture of emotion and complexity:

' The Dragon God's power is indeed unprecedented, and the depth of his thoughts and the long-term nature of his plans are beyond our comprehension.'

"Sister Ashan, please tell me more!" Lin Hai suddenly became interested. His intuition told him that there seemed to be some "big news" he had never heard of before.

The Goodness Goddess seemed to be recalling that distant and tragic battle; after a moment, she slowly spoke:

'That God War, though it began as an internal turmoil among the Soul Beast, had by the later stages rendered the Soul Beast virtually powerless to turn the tide.'

Even with his extraordinary abilities, the Dragon God was powerless to reverse the situation at that time.

'And He knew very well that His lucidity was only temporary, while His madness was eternal.'

'If the fighting continues, it will only drag the entire Soul Beast Clan into an abyss of no return.'

'Therefore, He proposed that without the Dragon God's intervention, Soul Beast could not become gods. While ostensibly a restriction, this was in reality a form of protection for the Soul Beast Clan, allowing them to escape the victors' reckoning and retribution.'

'After all, in that battle, quite a few gods and divine beasts perished on both sides, creating a deep-seated hatred.'

At the same time, He also saw things very clearly. The Dragon God Domain was His domain, while the Divine Realm was a system of checks and balances, with the Five Great God Kings making decisions together.

'Even if the Asura are determined to exact revenge, Xiao Lu and I will certainly do everything in our power, based on our own laws and beliefs, to prevent it from happening.'

'In this way, the Soul Beast Clan has temporarily lost its qualification to become gods, and its situation is difficult.'

'But this also gave them a chance to breathe, enough time to wait for the birth of a powerful new Dragon God to lead them out of their predicament.'

At this point, she sighed Youyou and continued:

'As for why we are willing to carry out this rule, which is almost like the Dragon God's dying wish, it's partly because we acknowledge the underlying principles, and partly out of respect for the strong.'

On the other hand, and most importantly, there's the concern about the Golden Dragon King, who is sealed away in the God Forbidden Land.

'It is the vessel of the Dragon God's evil intentions and power, incomparably powerful. If a new Beast God appears in the Divine Realm, it might try to trigger the seal out of ambition or hatred.'

'If an accident occurs, the Divine Realm will likely face another catastrophe.'

"I see." Lin Hai nodded slightly, indicating his understanding, and at the same time, took the opportunity to steer the conversation toward what he was truly concerned about:

'Then... after the Dragon God split, what happened to the Silver Dragon King, who represented goodness and wisdom?'

The Goodness Goddess shook her head, her tone calm: 'Shortly after the war, she found an opportunity to escape the Divine Realm and has been missing ever since.'

"You... didn't you ever try to capture her again and seal her away like you did with the Golden Dragon King?" Lin Hai couldn't contain his curiosity and asked.
