At first, the Silver Dragon King wanted to see Yu Hengqing to see if there was any chance for the Thunder God to be resurrected; after all, there was an inextricable link between a god and their divine position.

Since the Thunder God's divine position could reappear and select an heir, it was possible that the Thunder God still had a chance at resurrection.

But now, the Silver Dragon King had changed her mind.

Even if the Thunder God could be resurrected, waiting for Him to return to his peak would take far too long.

Yu Hengqing, however, was different. As a human, he was just starting out, and according to the cultivation speed of humans, he could become a first-rank god in just a few decades.

With her help, it was even highly likely that Yu Hengqing could accomplish what the Thunder God himself had never done—attaining the position of a God King!!!

"I want spirit rings, spirit bones, and heavenly treasures. With these, I can quickly complete the divine trials and attain the position of the Thunder God!"

Facing the Silver Dragon King's inquiry, Yu Hengqing did not hesitate in the slightest, blurting out his demands.

In this situation, if Yu Hengqing hesitated for even a second, it might result in the Silver Dragon King giving him fewer resources.

"I can give you these, but how can you guarantee that you will help me after you become the Thunder God?"

The Silver Dragon King was no fool; she did not want to invest so much only to end up with an ungrateful wretch.

"You should know about Wisdom Spirit Rings, right? With a Wisdom Spirit Ring in place, are you afraid I would break my promise?"

Yu Hengqing had long anticipated that the Silver Dragon King would ask this. If she hadn't, he wouldn't have dared to accept the resources she offered.

"A Wisdom Spirit Ring? That method is not only imperfect, but the conditions for its execution are far too harsh."

The Silver Dragon King acknowledged the Wisdom Spirit Ring as a means of supervision, but it could only be performed by a spirit beast over one hundred thousand years old, and it required a high degree of compatibility between the spirit beast and the spirit master's martial spirit.

Furthermore, the Silver Dragon King currently had no thunder-attribute spirit beasts over one hundred thousand years old under her command.

"Then you'll just have to bet on my character! If you win the bet, you can lead the spirit beasts back to the Divine Dragon Realm; if you lose, it's just a waste of some resources."

Seeing that the Silver Dragon King did not agree, Yu Hengqing shrugged indifferently. After all, it was the Silver Dragon King who had the need, not him.

Yu Hengqing certainly knew that the Silver Dragon King had no hundred-thousand-year thunder-attribute spirit beasts, but he wanted to try anyway. The original work had too little description of the spirit beast faction; perhaps there would be a pleasant surprise.

Watching Yu Hengqing's "dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water" attitude, the Silver Dragon King suddenly had the urge to slap him to death, but reality did not allow her to do so.

If she did not act quickly, the spirit beasts might face extinction at the hands of spirit masters or the thunder tribulation before the gods of the God Realm even needed to intervene.

As the Master of Spirit Beasts, she needed to consider their future. Sacrificing some things now in exchange for a possible future was worth it.

"I heard from Bi Ji that you are a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?"

"Yes, but that has nothing to do with our agreement, does it? Surely the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect can't help me obtain a Wisdom Spirit Ring?"

Yu Hengqing did not understand why the Silver Dragon King would suddenly mention the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anything in the sect that could catch her eye.

"After spirit beasts take human form, they can marry and have children like ordinary people. The children they bear will inherit the martial spirits of both parents."

Hearing the Silver Dragon King say this, Yu Hengqing's eyes lit up.

He had not failed to speculate on how martial spirits appeared, but lacking evidence, he had not reached a conclusion. Now, someone had finally confirmed it!

"Even so, what does that have to do with a Wisdom Spirit Ring?"

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is the true form of the Thunder Dragon Patriarch's third son. When the Thunder Dragon Patriarch was severely wounded and dying, he had his third son take his Dragon Pearl and instructed him to choose a good place to heal his soul."

Hearing this, Yu Hengqing finally understood. The Silver Dragon King wanted the Thunder Dragon Patriarch to become his Wisdom Spirit Ring.

"How can you be sure he has recovered? And even if he has, would he be willing to take the risk of becoming my Wisdom Spirit Ring?"

Facing Yu Hengqing's questioning, the Silver Dragon King did not say much, only telling him: "He will come to find you once he has made up his mind."

After speaking with Yu Hengqing, the Silver Dragon King turned to instruct Di Tian: "Di Tian, provide him with the spirit rings, spirit bones, and heavenly treasures according to the highest standards."

Once the instructions were given, white mist suddenly rose, and the Silver Dragon King's figure was once again hidden by the mist, disappearing from the sight and perception of Di Tian and Yu Hengqing.

"I recall you were planning to hunt a Thunder-Clap Bird for your spirit ring? If you still choose the Thunder-Clap Bird, I will bring one back of the appropriate age; if you wish to change, you may tell me now so I can go find it."

After the Silver Dragon King disappeared, Di Tian asked Yu Hengqing in a cold voice.

"Let's stick with the Thunder-Clap Bird! As for other spirit rings, I will tell you once I have considered it."

"Very well, then wait here."

Having received Yu Hengqing's answer, Di Tian left the Lake Bottom Secret Realm quickly to search for a Thunder-Clap Bird of the appropriate age.

Once Di Tian had completely departed, Yu Hengqing immediately sat cross-legged and began to frantically absorb the surrounding heaven and earth energy and life force.

As the life force surged into Yu Hengqing's body, the meridians that had been rendered fragile by his spirit power regained their vitality, becoming tougher bit by bit.

"I didn't expect this side effect to be resolved so quickly. It seems your luck is quite good, Xiao Qing!"

Watching Yu Hengqing's gradually recovering meridians, Leiyi in the spiritual space could not help but exclaim.

"I didn't expect to be able to cultivate in this place either. I owe this to the Silver Dragon King's ambition; otherwise, I would have been kicked out by Di Tian long ago!"

Hearing this, Yu Hengqing could not help but sigh, then focused his mind on absorbing the life force to repair his meridians.

When Yu Hengqing had healed half of his damaged meridians, Di Tian appeared before him with a Thunder-Clap Bird.

After Yu Hengqing finished his cultivation, he took a close look and realized the age of the Thunder-Clap Bird Di Tian had brought back was wrong.

"The age of this Thunder-Clap Bird is nearly fifteen hundred years, isn't it?"

Facing Yu Hengqing's inquiry, Di Tian continued to explain to him in his cold voice:

"I will make it sacrifice itself willingly. Combined with the high concentration of heaven and earth essence and life energy in the surrounding area, you can absolutely absorb a 1,500-year spirit ring."

"If you have any concerns about this and dare not absorb it, I can swap it for a weaker Thunder-Clap Bird."

Di Tian was right; Yu Hengqing did indeed have concerns, but he had Leiyi to help him dispel them.

"Leiyi, is what Di Tian said true?"

"It is true. Under the nourishment of life energy, your meridians can withstand more powerful spirit power. You can fully absorb this spirit ring."

"Life energy really is a cure-all!"

Hearing that it was life energy at work once again, Yu Hengqing couldn't help but smile.

"I trust you! However, you might have to wait an hour for me. I still need to treat my damaged meridians, so I can't absorb the spirit ring just yet."

Di Tian said nothing in response. He glanced at the Thunder-Clap Bird and then sat down on his own to absorb the life energy and heaven and earth essence.

He began to treat the lingering injuries on his body while continuously condensing his second spirit core.

Seeing Di Tian begin to absorb the life energy, Yu Hengqing stopped talking and continued to treat his damaged meridians.

Only the Thunder-Clap Bird, which had been brought in by Di Tian, was left standing in place, looking at a loss and not knowing what it was supposed to do.

When Di Tian brought it here, he had only said one thing to it: "I need you to sacrifice yourself to become a spirit ring for a spirit master."

At the time, the Thunder-Clap Bird did not resist because it knew it couldn't defeat Di Tian, and the bloodline Di Tian possessed was that of a true dragon.

Now, the Thunder-Clap Bird still did not resist, because it didn't know what else it could do. Even if it tried to flee, where could it possibly go?
