Douluo God Realm

If he harbored ill intentions toward this world, and she were to cooperate with him, then when the entire world eventually plunged into an irredeemable abyss, she would become the sinner of the entire world.

Therefore, the Silver Dragon King fell silent.

She did not know whether she should drag the entire world into an irredeemable abyss for the sake of her own selfish desires.

Having lived for so long, how could Xia Linyuan fail to see what the Silver Dragon King was concerned about? He smiled faintly and said, "Rest assured, I came to the Douluo Continent just to relax and perhaps make up for some regrets."

"A world as weak as the Douluo Continent is, among all the worlds I have visited, it is nothing more than something in a gutter. I really have no interest in it."

Not just him, even R'lyeh, which bore the function of world destruction, could not muster any desire to destroy the Douluo World.

Hearing Xia Linyuan describe the Douluo Continent as a gutter, the Silver Dragon King was somewhat speechless.

"If you don't trust me, we can sign an Equal Contract to prove that I really have no designs on the Douluo Continent. You aren't losing anything, are you?" Xia Linyuan smiled as he drew a Contract Inscription in the air.

Hearing this, the Silver Dragon King was completely speechless.

To actually use an Equal Contract to prove he had no designs on the Douluo World—the Silver Dragon King finally understood that in Xia Linyuan's eyes, the Douluo World really could only be considered a "gutter."

"Then, respected Lord Nyarlathotep, happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation."

To ensure that Xia Linyuan would not go back on his word in the future, the Silver Dragon King carefully scrutinized the contents of the Equal Contract. After ensuring that Xia Linyuan was not playing word games with her, she signed the agreement.

She also knew her concerns were superfluous; with the strength of "Nyarlathotep," if he really had any designs on the Douluo World, why would he need to be so circuitous?

As long as he beckoned, there would naturally be many people willing to do anything for him.

"Now I am quite curious, what kind of regret could require you to personally descend upon the Douluo Continent to make up for it?"

"Oh, nothing much, just here to beat up a hypocritical god," Xia Linyuan said calmly.

The Silver Dragon King: "..."

Fine, you are strong, you can be as willful as you like.

The Silver Dragon King said, "Respected Lord Nyarlathotep, may I ask if you could help me with a favor that would be easy for you?"

"Are you asking me to go to my God Realm to rescue the Golden Dragon King?" Xia Linyuan guessed the Silver Dragon King's purpose immediately.

After pondering for a moment, the Silver Dragon King said, "It doesn't necessarily have to be rescuing the Golden Dragon King; as long as you can bring the Golden Dragon King's bloodline to me, that would suffice. If I can fuse with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline and become the Dragon God once more, then I will be able to provide you with even greater help."

"Oh? Is that so?" Xia Linyuan's expression was somewhat strange.

"Is it not possible?" Seeing the strange look on Xia Linyuan's face, the Silver Dragon King assumed he could not do it yet and was immediately disappointed.

"No, it is possible." Xia Linyuan shook his head and said, "I am just curious, is the Golden Dragon King's bloodline really that important to you?"

The Silver Dragon King explained, "The Golden Dragon King and I were split into two by the Asura God. If neither of us fuses with the other's bloodline, it is very difficult to achieve the rank of God King."

"Difficult, but still possible, isn't it?"

"That sliver of possibility is infinitesimal." The Silver Dragon King's voice grew weaker.

Xia Linyuan laughed, "From my perspective, if you blindly pursue the shortcut of absorbing the Golden Dragon King's bloodline to break through to the God King level, then what about beyond the God King? Where would you find the path to seek a faster breakthrough?"

The Silver Dragon King fell silent.

"I might as well tell you, I was just an ordinary human before," Xia Linyuan said calmly. "In my world, there were some people with extraordinary abilities, but ninety-nine point nine nine percent of people were bound by the shackles of the world, unable to cultivate."

"Later, through a twist of fate, I accidentally traveled to the world I am in now and began to cultivate, climbing step by step from the weakest creature to the top-tier strength I possess today."

"And in this process, I did not pursue the path of maximizing my strength in the shortest possible time, but rather walked to this point today one step at a time."

"Perhaps we look at things from different angles, so I think, since I could do it, why can't you? Yet you are only blindly confined to this world of the Douluo Continent."

"The Dragon God bloodline is indeed the strongest bloodline in the Douluo Universe, but if placed in other worlds, it might not even be as good as the most inferior, lowest-grade bloodline."

"At my level, one can long since ignore the advantages brought by bloodlines. There is only the unbridgeable chasm between the creation and the creator; this is a gap that bloodlines cannot make up for."

After listening to Xia Linyuan's words, the Silver Dragon King fell silent.

It was indeed much as Xia Linyuan said. In her cognition, the Dragon God was the strongest existence in the Douluo Universe, so she always subconsciously believed that becoming the Dragon God was the end goal. Yet she forgot that in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, the Dragon God could only be considered one of countless tiny grains of sand.

So, was she to follow the old path of the Dragon God, or seize this rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to forge a path of her own?

Another difficult decision, indeed.

After thinking for a long time, the Silver Dragon King said, "I want to forge a path of my own, but I still want to ask you to bring the Golden Dragon King or its bloodline to me."

"Fine, fine." Xia Linyuan shrugged indifferently.

"Carlos!"

Xia Linyuan patted Carlos's dragon horn, and Carlos understood immediately. With a gentle flap of his massive wings, he soared dozens of meters into the air.

Carrying Xia Linyuan, Carlos flew toward the deep space at his fastest flight speed, like a fleeting meteor passing through layers of clouds and mist. In almost just a few breaths, they arrived in a vast expanse of stars.

Regarding the Douluo God Realm, there are three theories to date.

The first theory states that the Douluo God Realm is a special space opened up by humans to accommodate those on various planets whose strength has broken through the planet's limits and can no longer be blocked by the planet's seals—the so-called "gods." (Peerless Tang Sect setting)

The second theory is that the Creator God split his own power to create the God Realm, in which Life and Goodness formed the foundation of the entire God Realm, while Destruction and Evil constituted the opposite side of the God Realm, and Slaughter formed the order of the God Realm. (Legend of the God Realm setting)

As for the third theory, it is that the Dragon God created the Douluo God Realm, and because of the Dragon God's leniency, those humans from the lower realms who cultivated to the "god" level were able to enter the God Realm to continue their cultivation. (Ultimate Douluo setting)
