Becoming a God First to Lead Others to Become Gods

Huang Tian was so furious she laughed, her chest heaving violently as she gritted her teeth and asked, "Then what do you want? Kill me and take my spirit rings and spirit bones?"

"No." Qian Xunji watched her quietly.

"I want you to be my wife."

BOOM—

It felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded inside Huang Tian's mind. She looked at the man before her in disbelief, followed by an uncontrollable surge of humiliation.

"You're fucking dreaming!!!" Flames of humiliation burned in her dragon eyes.

"You human lunatic, you might as well just kill me!"

Facing Huang Tian's thunderous rage, Qian Xunji remained composed. He walked over to the sofa, sat down, and poured two glasses of red wine.

"Put away your temper; I'm not doing this out of lust." Qian Xunji picked up his wine glass.

"I've said it before: I don't trust you. In this world, only the absolute bond of interests and bloodline can truly put my mind at ease. Only when we become husband and wife, standing firmly on the same front, can I trust you without reservation."

Huang Tian bit her lower lip and sneered, "Bullshit! Does being husband and wife guarantee no betrayal? Besides, what makes you think I would agree?"

"What makes me think so?" A wicked smile curled the corners of Qian Xunji's mouth, his voice filled with temptation. "Because... don't you want to become a god?"

The moment those two words were uttered, Huang Tian's agitated body suddenly stiffened.

Becoming a god!

This was the mountain that had weighed upon the hearts of all spirit beasts for ten thousand years. The iron rule of the God Realm: spirit beasts are forbidden from becoming gods!

Huang Tian's gaze dimmed, and she let out a self-deprecating sneer. "Become a god? Do you think I don't understand the rules of the God Realm? Even if I listen to you, even if I devour Di Tian, even if I reach a million years of cultivation... as long as that law remains, the God Realm will never bestow a godhood! No matter how I struggle, I will ultimately end up as nothing but dust under the heavenly tribulation!"

"That was in the past." Qian Xunji set down his glass, stood up, and stepped closer to Huang Tian. "Be my wife, and I have a way to help you break through these shackles."

Huang Tian froze. Looking at Qian Xunji, who was now within arm's reach, her breathing hitched. "You... how can you help me?"

Qian Xunji did not answer directly, instead asking a question that Huang Tian never expected: "Beneath the lake of the Star Dou Forest in the Inner World, is there not another Dragon King sleeping besides you? Tell me, is it the Golden Dragon King or the Silver Dragon King?"

Huang Tian was completely dumbfounded!

She stepped back in sheer terror. This was the most core secret of the dragon race; it was impossible for anyone to know this except for beings of her level! How did this human know?

"Answer me!" Qian Xunji pressed on.

"It... it is the Golden Dragon King." Under Qian Xunji's oppressive gaze, Huang Tian subconsciously swallowed, her voice trembling.

She truly regretted it now; she should have died rather than come out. Now, not only had she gained nothing, but she seemed to have been targeted herself.

"Very good." Qian Xunji suddenly smiled.

"Then this will be easy. Huang Tian, listen well! In this Surface World, what sleeps beneath the Star Dou Forest is not the Golden Dragon King, but the one who commands the power of elements—the Silver Dragon King!"

"Not only that, I know exactly where the remnants of the four great Dragon Kings—Ice, Fire, Light, and Dark—are buried! And I know even better where the Dragon God cores of these two worlds are hidden!"

Every word was like a heavy hammer, smashing fiercely against Huang Tian's heart! Remnants of the four great Dragon Kings? Two Dragon God cores? And even... the two great Dragon Kings of the Surface and Inner Worlds?

Whether it was the dragon remnants, the Dragon God cores, or the two great Dragon Kings, she had no way to refuse. Furthermore, the Light Dragon King and Dark Dragon King were her very own parents!

However, before Huang Tian could process this, Qian Xunji continued to entice her:

"That Golden Dragon King, aside from inheriting the Dragon God's brute strength and destructive bloodline, has a brain filled only with the instinct for ruin and destruction! For all these years, what contribution has he made to your spirit beast clan? What has he brought to the dragon race or the spirit beast clan? Why must you protect him for generations?"

"What? Do you really think he possesses some world-shaking wisdom?"

Qian Xunji's voice was filled with bewitching magic: "Huang Tian, let us unite! As long as you become my wife, I will use the foundations of these two worlds to pave our path! I will first become the supreme Angel God King, and then I will lead you to become a god. We will dig out those two so-called Golden and Silver Dragon Kings, along with both Dragon God cores, and let you devour them!"

"With only one set of resources, you might not become the Dragon God. But now, there are two worlds! Double the resources! Not to mention becoming the supreme Dragon God, what about an ordinary God King? A first-tier god? By then, you will be my wife, the wife of the Angel God King. Who could possibly stop you from becoming a god?"

Huang Tian fell silent—a complete, profound silence.

Even though she was the White Dragon Emperor who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, faced with the prospect of becoming a god—especially the Dragon God—her proud dragon heart began to beat uncontrollably.

It was true. What had the Golden Dragon King ever done? What had he brought to the spirit beast clan? What had he brought to the dragon race? If she could devour both the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings and fuse the Dragon God cores, she could reshape the body of the Dragon God! By then, what would the so-called laws of the God Realm even matter?

Qian Xunji watched the clearly wavering look in Huang Tian's eyes, a gentle curve appearing on his lips.

He slowly reached out his hand, and this time, Huang Tian did not dodge.

Qian Xunji's large hand rested gently on the top of Huang Tian's head, his fingers tenderly passing through her brilliant silver-white hair, his fingertips even brushing, intentionally or not, against the sensitive dragon horns on her forehead.

"Huang Tian, I am not threatening you." Qian Xunji's voice became low and hoarse, carrying a magnetic quality.

"Think carefully: is what I just said not beneficial to you? You are the greatest beneficiary. The Surface World and Inner World will inevitably go to war; that will be the moment the structure of the God Realm changes."

"In the God Realm of the Surface World, Life, Destruction, Goodness, and Evil remain the God Kings, but the Angel God is not. When the two worlds eventually devour and merge, would the Angel God King sit by and watch his colleagues advance by leaps and bounds? He will surely seek power to balance the scales. This! This is your opportunity!"

This intimate touch and the plotting for the future made Huang Tian tremble as if struck by electricity. A faint moan escaped her lips—the sensitivity peculiar to the dragon race caused a moving, crimson flush to quickly spread across her fair cheeks.

She raised her silver eyes and looked at Qian Xunji's analysis; the final line of defense in her heart finally began to crumble. Since coming to the Surface World, she had been unable to control her own fate, and now that she had killed Di Tian, the spirit beasts of this world would never accept her. She had no choice left.

She remembered Di Tian asking her why before he died, to which she had replied: "Because I have no choice, just like you right now." Thinking of it now, it was truly ironic.

"...You had better not lie to me." Huang Tian bit her lower lip, her voice as thin as a thread.
