The Opportunity to Become the Thunder God

Whether the Dragon Clan would be revived or not was actually unrelated to the God Realm.

Gu Yuena and even Di Tian believed that the reason soul beasts couldn't achieve Godhood was suppression by the God Realm.

But Su Ze, who was familiar with the plot, understood that it had nothing to do with the God Realm.

It was purely because the Dragon God himself had a screw loose.

He had established a rule that soul beasts could not achieve Godhood unless the Dragon God returned.

It could be said that Di Tian's lifelong efforts.

And the tribulations he faced were actually all brought about by the boss he recognized.

First, it was the Dragon God, and later, it was the Silver Dragon King, the embodiment of the Dragon God.

Su Ze felt a little sorry for Di Tian just thinking about it.

And to resolve this matter, the first step was to go to Dragon Valley.

Of course, he would have to wait until he achieved Godhood himself before going.

"Mm, very good. If you encounter any problems you can't solve in the future, you can go to Di Tian. I will have him help you."

Gu Yuena nodded with satisfaction. A mere bit of Life Gold.

And it could actually make the newly appeared Storm Dragon King serve him.

As expected, she had inherited the Silver Dragon King's wisdom, which was passed down from the Dragon God.

The soul beast race would definitely flourish in the future.

And the glory of the Dragon Clan would be recreated!

A moment later, a massive dark shadow fell from the sky.

A dark purple vine, flickering with lightning, heavily smashed down in front of Su Ze.

"This is the Thunderous Nether Vine you wanted. However, there isn't one that's 30,000 years old. There's only one that's nearly 40,000 years old."

"This is the minimum age. Absorb it if you want to."

"No, you'll have to choose another soul beast."

Di Tian descended from the sky with a dark expression, looking at Su Ze with annoyance.

This human had somehow managed to bewitch his Master.

His Master was not only giving away soul beasts but also precious items.

He never received such treatment.

Di Tian had walked the Douluo Continent before. Uh, he had also seen many Soul Masters.

He was even clearer than most human Soul Masters about humans being able to absorb the Soul Beast Age.

Therefore, Su Ze's current age and Soul Power made it almost impossible for him to absorb the 40,000-year Thunderous Nether Vine.

"Senior Di Tian, don't worry. The 40,000-year Thunderous Nether Vine is not a problem."

"Next, I'll have to trouble you to act as my Guardian."

Looking at the dark purple vine, which was over ten meters long and flickered with lightning, Su Ze smiled.

This Soul Beast, which contained the Thunder God Attribute, was the most suitable Soul Beast for him.

And its nearly 40,000-year age was not a problem at all for Su Ze, who had absorbed a Million Year Soul Bone.

After taking a deep breath, Su Ze walked straight towards the Thunderous Nether Vine.

As he approached, the vine on the ground seemed to sense the crisis and immediately emitted a large amount of lightning.

This lightning was extremely terrifying, with dark purple bolts filling the air with an aura of destruction.

The bolts of lightning seemed intent on destroying everything around them.

Feeling the lightning emanating from the Thunderous Nether Vine, Su Ze showed no fear.

Instead, he was very excited.

Di Tian, standing nearby, was also ready to act at any moment.

Although he found this human brat annoying.

Di Tian, having walked among humans, knew very well how outstanding the talent of this human brat was.

His talent even surpassed that of the two gods who had appeared on the Douluo Continent in the past nearly twenty thousand years.

So Di Tian was just venting his emotions; he would not really let this human named Su Ze get hurt.

The next moment, Di Tian's expression changed.

The instant the human named Su Ze touched the violent lightning, a white-gold current erupted from his body.

The dark purple lightning released by the Thunderous Nether Vine was actually absorbed the moment it came into contact with the current on that human.

"This kid can actually absorb the Extreme Thunder of the Thunderous Nether Vine!"

Di Tian's pupils contracted, and he looked at Su Ze with disbelief.

After easily neutralizing the Thunderous Nether Vine's lightning, Su Ze summoned lightning to kill the Thunderous Nether Vine.

Gazing at the black Soul Ring radiating dense Soul Power before him, Su Ze unhesitatingly sat down near the Soul Ring and entered Meditation.

As Meditation began, the black Soul Ring was simultaneously drawn into his body.

Storms surged, and thunderclouds gathered.

A terrifying heavenly might descended upon the entire Tree of Life as Su Ze began absorbing the Soul Ring.

Upon feeling the heavenly might, Gu Yuena and Di Tian simultaneously looked up in shock.

Staring at the sky, fear and hatred flashed in their eyes.

Almost instantly, Gu Yuena instinctively wanted to flee with the Lake of Life.

After all, only one possibility existed in Gu Yuena and Di Tian's minds for such heavenly might to be triggered.

That was that the God Realm and the Gods had discovered their whereabouts and intended to descend to attack them.

Just as Gu Yuena prepared to retreat, a colossal phantom appeared behind Su Ze.

It was a Giant Dragon enveloped in lightning, its proud Dragon head casting a majestic gaze down upon Di Tian and Gu Yuena.

The pressure emanating from it made Di Tian feel a sense of reverence.

Even Gu Yuena, a Dragon King herself, felt a ripple in her heart upon sensing the kingly aura radiating from the lightning Giant Dragon.

"This New Storm Dragon King's authority seems very powerful, actually making me feel reverence."

Gu Yuena's exquisite face was filled with surprise.

This newly appeared Storm Dragon King was even more powerful than she had imagined.

At this moment, Di Tian's dark golden pupils widened abruptly, his face full of disbelief.

"What is this kid's Martial Soul, to make me feel reverence?"

In the center of the island, some Fierce Beasts residing around the Lake of Life also looked at the dragon silhouette in the sky, their faces filled with shock.

The Storm Dragon King's Phantom pierced the heavens and earth, carrying endless lightning and storms, wantonly emanating divine might throughout the Lake of Life.

"Di Tian, what happened? Has a new Dragon King been born?"

A burly middle-aged man, at least two and a half meters tall, rushed in under the dense heavenly might. He looked at Su Ze, who was absorbing the Soul Ring, with some confusion.

Why is there a human here?

"Bear Lord, who told you to come in!"

"This is Master's territory. Who gave you the guts to be so rude?"

Di Tian's expression darkened as he looked at the burly man who had rushed in front of him.

Upon hearing Di Tian's words, Bear Lord's gaze shifted to the silver-haired girl beside him, who looked no older than eighteen.

The moment Bear Lord saw the silver-haired girl, a brief moment of shock was immediately followed by him bowing in reverence.

And it wasn't just him; the other Fierce Beasts who had gathered due to Thunder God's summons also knelt down.

Among them, Zi Ji, a true dragon, looked on with the most fervent gaze.

As a true dragon, Zi Ji was filled with immense respect for Gu Yuena, the Dragon God.

Gu Yuena paid no attention to the Fierce Beasts who had barged in. She merely nodded and looked with delighted eyes at Su Ze, who was absorbing his fourth Soul Ring.

As the newly emerged Storm Dragon King, he was even more powerful than she had imagined.

As the Silver Dragon King, destined to be loyal to the Dragon Clan in the future, Gu Yuena knew well that the revival of the Dragon Clan required immense power.

Su Ze's appearance had satisfied her greatly.

She had to nurture this Storm Dragon King well so that he could one day ascend to the God Realm, and she would have a true helper.

"Di Tian, starting today, you must do everything in your power to satisfy any request Su Ze has."

Gu Yuena looked at Di Tian with a serious expression.

Su Ze, as the Storm Dragon King, his growth potential was truly tied to the future prosperity or decline of the Dragon Clan.

Gu Yuena decided to fully cultivate him to become her support.

"Yes, Master!"

At this moment, Di Tian, without looking at the storm-enveloped Giant Dragon in the sky, no longer had any dissatisfaction in his tone.

This human named Su Ze possessed a talent far greater than he had imagined.

With such a martial soul growing, he would definitely be able to help the Dragon Clan revive.

Under the watchful eyes of all the Fierce Beasts, the Dragon God phantom in the sky slowly dissipated.

The Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring beside Su Ze had also completely stabilized.

The Ten Thousand Year Thunderous Nether Vine had now been completely absorbed by Su Ze.

And as Su Ze broke through to level forty...

The Storm Dragon King's effect on Soul Ring Evolution finally began to show.

Su Zhe's first Soul Ring was originally 300 years old.

Now, because Su Ze absorbed the nearly 40,000-year Thunderous Nether Vine, its age directly increased to the Ten Thousand Year level.

His Soul Ring configuration also changed to Purple, Purple, Black, Black.

And next, as Su Ze's strength increases and he continuously absorbs high-year Soul Beasts, his Soul Rings will continue to evolve.

This time, absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring directly gave Su Ze another Skill Point.

He directly put it into Thunderous Force.

This time, the Skill Point's buff greatly reduced Thunderous Force's lightning consumption.

Its duration also directly increased to 5 minutes.

More importantly, the Thunderous Nether Vine, his fourth Soul Ring, provided him with a Soul Skill called Thunder God Descends.

After using this Soul Skill, it can amplify his attack and defense by 100%.

It can be used in conjunction with his Thunderous Force Ultimate Move.

Achieving a 1+1>2 effect.

At the same time, in terms of Soul Power, Su Ze also advanced to level 44.

It can be said that this absorption of the Thunderous Nether Vine brought him substantial gains.

After taking stock of his gains, Su Ze stood up from the ground.

The moment he stood, Su Ze's gaze fell upon the many figures gathered around the Tree of Life.

Seeing Su Ze's gaze turn towards them, Bear Lord, the strongest among the Fierce Beasts, immediately spoke impatiently.

"Human, what did you just do? How did you summon that illusory dragon silhouette?"

As he spoke, Bear Lord's gaze was fixed on Su Ze, his massive body exuding an extremely oppressive aura.

"Bear Lord, stand down. Do not be rude. This human is a talent personally recruited by the Master; he is one of us."

Di Tian, seeing Bear Lord's rash behavior, immediately spoke with displeasure.

"How can a human be one of us? Isn't this nonsense?"

Bear Lord heard Di Tian's words and immediately grumbled in dissatisfaction.

The Fierce Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest generally hated humans, and Bear Lord was no exception.

"Boom!"

A powerful force instantly struck Bear Lord.

The next moment, one of Bear Lord's arms was directly pierced.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a miserable scream, Gu Yuena's cold voice rang out.

"Bear Lord, is it? If it weren't for the current decline of soul beasts, you'd already be dead!"

"My mercy won't be offered a second time."

A cold light appeared in Gu Yuena's eyes.

Su Ze was the Storm Dragon King, an existence on the same level as her.

Insulting Su Ze was, in a way, insulting her.

The scream from his arm and the powerful pressure emanating from Gu Yuena instantly sobered Bear Lord up.

Bear Lord didn't even dare to continue screaming and said with extreme respect, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Whatever Master says goes."

Bear Lord was reckless, but not stupid. What kind of existence was Master?

She was the Silver Dragon King, who bore the name of Dragon King, a legendary god.

This was not someone he could provoke.

If Master truly wanted to kill him, no one around would dare to say a single word.

After warning Bear Lord, Gu Yuena's cold gaze swept over all the surrounding Fierce Beasts.

"From today on, Su Ze will only obey me."

"You are not allowed to disrespect him!"

"Everything is for the revival of the Dragon Clan and soul beasts, do you understand?"

Gu Yuena's tone was extremely cold, completely lacking the warmth she had when speaking to Su Ze.

"Yes!"

All the Fierce Beasts present answered in unison, and their gazes towards Su Ze also changed.

After issuing her warning, Gu Yuena turned and looked at Su Ze with gentle eyes. The cold expression on her pretty face immediately turned into a smile.

"The Storm Dragon King, the Thunder God, has already fallen in the ancient war."

"When the time comes, you can inherit the Thunder God's divine position and become the Storm Dragon King in name and in fact!"

"Keep it up, I believe you will not disappoint me."

After Gu Yuena finished speaking, she disappeared.

Watching their Master leave, Di Tian glanced at Bear Lord beside him.

He had no thoughts about the injured Bear Lord. This brainless idiot deserved some punishment.

However, he was a little confused about Su Ze's importance.

Bear Lord was right. Although Su Ze's talent was immense and his martial soul was heaven-defying, he was still just a human.

But Di Tian thought again. His Master had inherited the astonishing wisdom of the Dragon God and would absolutely not make a mistake.

He just needed to obey.

With that thought, Di Tian came before Su Ze and said, "Su Ze, if you need anything in the future, you can come to me. This is my Inverse Scale. It can protect your safety in critical moments."

Di Tian was a man of action. Under Gu Yuena's instructions, he directly took out his own Inverse Scale.

Su Ze looked at the Inverse Scale Di Tian handed over, as well as the fearful gazes of the surrounding Fierce Beasts.

His eyes lit up.

It was indeed the right choice to join Gu Yuena.

Not only did he receive a pile of benefits, but he didn't even have to do anything.

Now he had even become the second-in-command of the soul beasts.

This was also beneficial for Su Ze. In the current Soul World, he indeed needed strong backing.

Although Dugu Bo's strength was not bad, he was still not enough when facing behemoths like the Clear Sky Sect and the Soul Martial Hall.

Di Tian's appearance compensated for this.

"Su Ze, is it? You must cultivate diligently from now on, and absolutely do not let Master down."

"Your talent is the best I've ever seen among humans. You must cultivate hard and not slack off."

"Everything is for the revival of the Soul Clan."

Su Ze nodded at Di Tian's instructions.

After spending a few days by the Lake of Life, Su Ze began to meditate and stabilize his Soul Power.

During his meditation, Su Ze's spirit seemed to appear in a vast Starry Sky.

In this Starry Sky, Su Ze transformed into the Thunderous Force state, his entire being enveloped in lightning.

Before him stood a Giant Dragon wrapped in a storm.

It was the Storm Dragon King.

Looking at the Storm Dragon King before him, Su Ze sensed something in the depths of his being.

The moment he sensed that thing.

The Sikong Zhen and Storm Dragon King martial souls within his body immediately began to crave it intensely.

This was what Su Ze sensed after absorbing the Thunderous Nether Vine.

Thinking of the Thunder God Bloodline within the Thunderous Nether Vine, Su Ze considered this thing.

He guessed it might be related to the fallen Thunder God.

This was the greatest benefit he gained from absorbing the Soul Ring this time.

He had obtained clues related to the Thunder God.
