Ice Fire Dragon King Remnant Soul's Deal! A Great Godhood Opportunity!

Li Fei immediately turned around and used his movement technique to quickly retreat, putting a relatively safe distance between himself and the red-and-blue energy soul before him.

He asked warily, "Who are you?"

"Boy, don't be afraid. If we wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be able to escape."

"Although we have been fallen for tens of thousands of years and retain less than a tenth of our strength, killing a mere Level 29 Soul Grandmaster Mortal like you would be far too easy."

The red-and-blue soul transformed into a small dragon shape somewhat similar to the two corpses on the ground.

Seeing this, Li Fei already had a guess.

This thing was most likely the Ice Fire Dragon King Body's Remnant Soul.

Though its Soul Power was already very weak, killing him would indeed be easy.

"We are precisely the Ice Fire Dragon King Remnant Soul. After our fall, our Soul Power gradually weakened, and in the end, we could only barely merge into one, surviving here on the residual energy of the two of us."

"Now that you have absorbed all the Ice Fire Spring Water, this wisp of our Remnant Soul will not be able to remain in this world for much longer before dispersing."

"The fact that you were able to come here is Heaven's Will."

"We intend to make a deal with you and grant you a Great Godhood Opportunity!"

Seeing Li Fei remain silent, the Ice Fire Dragon King Remnant Soul continued slowly.

"So it is the Ice Fire Dragon King Seniors. This Junior truly did not know this was where you resided. Otherwise, I would never have absorbed the Ice and Fire Power here. This Junior apologizes to you both!"

"This Junior truly had no intention of offending you! I hope the Two Seniors can forgive me!"

Li Fei's eyes shifted as he immediately yielded and respectfully bowed to the Remnant Soul before him, sincerely expressing his apology.

"You have manners. Not bad."

"You are also one of the few humans we have found agreeable."

"It seems our decision was not wrong."

The Ice Fire Dragon King Remnant Soul nodded in satisfaction.

"What do you think of what we just mentioned?" they asked.

"May this Junior know what kind of deal the Seniors are referring to?"

"This Junior's strength is currently low, and my abilities are limited. But as long as you can give this Junior a Chance for Godhood, one day in the future, I will certainly accomplish it!"

Li Fei bowed as he spoke.

The Ice Fire Dragon King Remnant Soul said, "We hope that after you rise to power in the future, you can protect the Soul Beast Lineage and prevent them from going extinct. If you truly become a God in the future, we hope you can reopen the Soul Beast Ascension Passage. However, doing so will make you enemies of the God Realm Gods. You must think carefully."

"This Junior can agree to the first condition, but regarding the latter, forgive this Junior for speaking plainly. Even powerful Seniors like you fell. Even if this Junior truly becomes a God, I would only be a minor Lesser God of low rank. How could I contend against those ancient Gods with deep foundations?"

"If those are the conditions, then this Junior would rather give up this Godhood opportunity!"

Li Fei thought for a moment, then shook his head and sighed.

"Hehehe, we truly did not misjudge you!"

Upon hearing this, the Ice Fire Dragon King Remnant Soul was not angered. Instead, they smiled in relief.

"What exactly do the Two Seniors mean?"

"This Junior is a little confused."

Li Fei frowned.

"If you had directly agreed to open the Godhood Passage to the God Realm and become enemies with the Gods, that would undoubtedly have been foolish. The Gods would never spare you, and they would close the Soul Beast Ascension Passage again. Our plan would then be completely hopeless, and we would not grant you a Godhood opportunity."

"But you were willing to give up the opportunity to become a God. That is exceedingly rare. No Mortal could resist the temptation of becoming a God, yet you did."

"Our earlier words were merely a test. What we are about to say now is the truth."

"Protecting the Soul Beasts from extinction remains unchanged. In the future, after you become a God, plan before you act. Before you possess absolutely overwhelming strength and a solid foundation, do not open the Soul Beast Ascension Passage. Simply develop steadily and securely in the God Realm while waiting for the right opportunity."

"Gods are immortal and undying. As long as you live, there will always be an opportunity someday."

The Ice Fire Dragon King Remnant Soul said.

"So That's How It Is. This Junior is best at that." Li Fei nodded. "If that is the case, this Junior agrees to this deal."

"However, this Junior has a suggestion. Would the Two Seniors like to hear it?" Li Fei asked.

"Speak." The Ice Fire Dragon King Remnant Soul was curious.

Li Fei said, "The God Realm ultimately belongs to outsiders. Even if this Junior ascends there, I would still be living under another's roof and subject to others. Why not create a God Realm of our own, secretly accumulate strength, and wait for the chance to replace the current God Realm!"

"Create a God Realm and replace it?"

"Your idea is bold, but also terribly naive!"

"Creating a God Realm is harder than ascending to heaven! It is practically impossible! If the Dragon God were still alive, he might have been able to do it, but unfortunately, he has already fallen!"

"There are far too many God Realm Gods. For a New God Realm starting from nothing to contend with them and replace them would be even more difficult! The chance is less than one in a hundred million!"

"There is another point. Once a new God Realm appears, the current God Realm may very well notice it. Then it will either submit or be destroyed."

"No matter which path it takes, it is harder than ascending to heaven!"

The Ice Fire Dragon King Remnant Soul shook their heads bitterly.

Li Fei said calmly, "Someone has to try eventually. How will we know it cannot succeed unless we try? Even if the chance is slim, I am willing to give it a try. I have no desire to live under another's roof."

Perhaps others could not accomplish it.

But he possessed the two great talents of Heaven-Defying Comprehension and Heaven-Defying Luck. The future was promising!

There was no need for the Ice Fire Dragon King Remnant Soul to know that!

"Fine, then we will go mad with you once!"

"Next, we will perform a Sacrifice and raise your Soul Power Level to Level 30. With the strength we currently possess, we can only become a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring for you. But do not worry. Although the Soul Ring we become is a little low in age, it will be a genuine God Ring. In the future, it can increase in age alongside you. As long as you live, becoming a Million Year Soul Ring—or even surpassing a Million Year Soul Ring—will be entirely possible!"

The Ice Fire Dragon King Remnant Soul said.

"As for our corpses, they can become a piece of Hundred-Thousand-Year God Bone for you. It depends on which part you want."

"This God Bone can also grow alongside you."

Then, their gazes fell upon their bodies, which had long since lost all flesh and were nothing but empty shells, and they said sorrowfully.

"However, there is something you must understand. By obtaining our power in advance, your Soul Power Quality will undergo a Qualitative Change ahead of time and may even reach the level of a God. This also means that after your Soul Power Level rises, its advancement will become exceptionally, exceptionally slow. The power required to condense each level will be astonishingly greater."

"Because this Lower Realm does not provide Divine Power, you will need to slowly refine it bit by bit yourself into Soul Power Energy of equivalent quality before absorbing it."

"However, do not worry. We will pass down to you a Meditation Method specifically used to condense Divine Power. It can lend you a Helping Hand!"

"At the same time, the benefit is that you will gain the strength to challenge enemies of a higher level in advance!"

The Ice Fire Dragon King Remnant Soul reminded him again.

"I have thought it through."

"Seniors, come!"

Li Fei fell silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and nodded.

Next, the ritual began.
