The Legacy of the Twin Ice and Fire Dragon Kings

"This contains information regarding the immortal herbs here; their forms, medicinal properties, and harvesting methods are all clearly noted. Just follow the guide."

Hearing Ye Qiong's explanation, Tribios flipped through the book and found, as expected, that it contained quite a number of records.

She nodded, turned, and walked toward the rock wall beside the spring, beginning to identify the plants by comparing them to the illustrations.

Ye Qiong did not follow; his gaze was fixed on the spring at the center.

One half of the spring was crimson red, while the other was deep blue.

It was precisely the Ice and Fire Spring at the heart of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

He walked to the edge of the pool, crouched down, placed one hand on each side, and carefully sensed the energy:

"The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well... it lives up to its name."

Ye Qiong remembered the lore regarding this place.

It was said that the remains of two Dragon Kings lay beneath this spring.

Because the power they radiated fused together, this miraculous spring had been formed.

So, could the power of these two Dragon Kings still remain?

Ye Qiong stood up, took a deep breath, and looked at Tribios:

"Teacher Tribios."

Tribios, who was in the middle of harvesting an immortal herb, looked up.

"You continue harvesting. I'm going down into the spring to take a look."

She paused, glanced at the spring, and immediately wanted to dissuade him:

"Dean, the situation down there is unknown..."

Ye Qiong waved his hand:

"Rest assured, I'll just take a look and come right back up. Besides, with my strength, I have no reason to fear any danger."

Tribios fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, but eventually nodded:

"Very well, be careful."

Ye Qiong leaped into the pool.

Clutching the booklet, Tribios gazed at the water surface as it returned to calm, whispering softly:

"I hope you can come out safely."

At the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Ye Qiong discovered that in this dark, deep abyss, there were indeed two massive dragon skeletons.

One was crimson like molten lava, and the other was deep blue like solid ice.

Seeing these two dragon skeletons, Ye Qiong's joy was immediately evident.

However, just as he leaned in to touch them, a sudden wave of dizziness washed over him.

The next second, he found himself standing in an endless void.

Before him, two incomparably massive dragons sat upon thrones.

Their bodies were as vast as mountains, their dragon heads hanging high in the air.

Standing before them, Ye Qiong felt like nothing more than an ant.

Are these the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King?

"Finally, someone has reached this place."

A voice, ancient and weathered, echoed throughout the space.

Ye Qiong looked at the two great Dragon Kings, slightly stunned.

Holy crap, they're alive? They actually spoke.

"Human, do not be surprised. We are but the lingering thoughts of the Dragon Kings, slumbering in this place. It was your arrival that awakened us."

"We have waited for many years—so long that even our remaining consciousness was nearly worn away by time."

Ye Qiong looked up at the two behemoths, remained silent for a few seconds, and asked:

"You pulled me in here; what do you want?"

The Water Dragon King lowered his gaze, his voice deep as an echoing abyss:

"Our lingering souls cannot hold on much longer. Our power has been constantly draining away. In another hundred years, even this space of lingering thoughts will completely collapse."

The Fire Dragon King continued where he left off:

"Rather than letting this power dissipate into nothingness, it would be better to pass it on to a living soul."

Ye Qiong frowned slightly:

"So, you want to give me your inheritance?"

A glimmer of gratification flashed through the pupils of the two Dragon Kings.

"That is correct. You are very clever, human. We require an inheritor to keep the essence of water and fire alive in this world for us."

The Fire Dragon King continued:

"We did not choose you at random; you were able to pass through the spring formed by our power."

Ye Qiong pondered this.

Although his current strength was already formidable, power was something that could only be better the stronger it became.

Moreover, this was the inheritance of two great Dragon Kings.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiong nodded:

"I can accept."

The gazes of the two Dragon Kings softened:

"Good."

Consequently, Ye Qiong saw both Dragon Kings raise their dragon claws simultaneously.

Then, two beams of light shot out from their palms, precisely sinking into Ye Qiong's arms.

The next second, scorching heat and biting cold poured into his bones at the same time.

The two forces began to tear at each other, only to then merge together.

This sensation made Ye Qiong frown, but he did not make a sound, simply enduring the baptism of these two forces.

A moment later, the light subsided.

He felt two new spirit bones in his hands.

Water Dragon King Left Palm Bone, Fire Dragon King Right Palm Bone.

And they were dragon bones that completely surpassed the quality of soul beast spirit bones!

Ye Qiong was somewhat shocked; he had not expected the two Dragon Kings to actually bestow these two dragon bones upon him.

The two Dragon Kings glanced at Ye Qiong, their tones revealing a hint of satisfaction.

This human had absorbed the power even faster than they had imagined.

The two Dragon Kings fell silent for a moment; their bodies had now become illusory and began to flicker slightly.

Their time was running out.

Ye Qiong also keenly sensed this.

He raised his head and looked at them with a worried expression:

"Two seniors, what is this..."

The Fire Dragon King sighed deeply:

"Alas, we are about to dissipate."

The Water Dragon King looked down at Ye Qiong, trying his best to maintain a calm tone:

"Little human child, you need not worry for us. Our true bodies died long ago; what remains now is merely a wisp of lingering thought left in this world."

"For thousands of years, we have waited here for the fated one. Now that we have left behind the inheritance remaining from our true bodies, our wishes are fulfilled."

The Fire Dragon King nodded his head gently:

"Indeed. However, little human child, before we dissipate, there is one more thing we must do."

Ye Qiong nodded solemnly:

"Please speak, seniors."

The Water Dragon King waved his dragon claw, constructing a massive water screen within the void.

The next second, an image was projected onto the water screen.

It was a scene spanning from the star-filled sea at the dawn of chaos, to dragons soaring through the universe, and finally to all races paying homage.

The Water Dragon King's voice rang out:

"In an era when time had not yet been anchored, the immortal Dragon God awoke from chaos."

"He was one of the oldest wills in the universe, his body spanning the sea of stars."

"He forged the Nine Great Dragon Kings with his own bloodline, bestowing upon us the nine elemental essences: water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, space, time, and stability."

On the screen, nine dragon shadows intertwined and circled around a ball of light at the center that was more brilliant than the galaxy.

Ye Qiong's gaze locked onto that ball of light, his heart stirring slightly.

In his past life, he had encountered the lore regarding the dragon race in novels about the Douluo Continent, but those scattered fragments were things he could no longer clearly recall.

However, he did know a thing or two about the Dragon God.

Ye Qiong spoke up directly:

"What happened to the Dragon God afterward?"

The Water Dragon King's voice dropped an octave:

"He wanted to elevate the Divine Dragon Realm into a God Star, making a divine world an existence that the laws of the universe themselves could not ignore."

"During the Canonization Ceremony, the powers of the Space Dragon King and the Time Dragon King spiraled out of control under the impact of universal laws, leading to a disruption of space and time."

"The Dragon Prince died to save the Dragon God."

As they spoke, the scene shifted abruptly.
