Dream God

Besides that, there was also a scorching heat.

Wang Chen did not delay in the slightest and hurriedly swallowed the whale glue.

The whale glue traveled down his throat and into his stomach.

In an instant, a wave of heat surged from his abdomen. The potent medicinal power began there, continuously washing over Wang Chen's body and meridians.

Wang Chen memorized the sensation while carefully observing how the whale glue's medicinal power moved through and was absorbed by his meridians, as well as the strengthening of his physical body.

Wang Chen could not help but wonder whether only someone like himself, with a meridian martial soul, could so meticulously perceive the subtle enhancements brought by the whale glue circulating through the meridians within his body.

And whether he could alter the direction in which the whale glue's medicinal power circulated, thereby finding a way to make the fullest possible use of it.

Aside from the physical strengthening brought by the whale glue, Wang Chen also felt the effects of the aphrodisiac power within its medicinal energy.

After finding the route through his body's meridians that was most suitable for circulation, Wang Chen did not hesitate at all. He guided the whale glue's medicinal power through specific meridians for maximum benefit.

Fifteen minutes passed, and Wang Chen opened his eyes.

At that moment, Wang Chen felt stronger than ever before.

His physical body had directly risen to an entirely new level.

Wang Chen could feel that his current physical strength was no weaker than that of ordinary people who had reached level twenty but had yet to absorb a soul ring.

This meant that Wang Chen could attempt a first soul ring of more than five hundred years, perhaps even six hundred years.

Wang Chen raised his hand and felt the powerful strength within it. "A first soul ring of only five or six hundred years isn't enough."

"My first soul ring must surpass a thousand years if I want my martial soul to undergo a transformation and break through the limit preventing me from advancing beyond level thirty."

Just as Wang Chen was planning his future cultivation, a voice entered his ears.

"Eh? I, Dream God, can finally come out. As long as I take possession of the person before me, I can cultivate again and ascend to godhood once more.

Then I'll become the sixth God King of the God Realm. Hahahaha~"

"Ah~"

"What is that thing in your mind? Why is its rank so high?"

"Ah~"

Wang Chen was completely baffled. "What was that?"

The voice just now had not been heard by his ears. It seemed to have come from within his mind.

Wang Chen quickly closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into his sea of consciousness.

Deep within his sea of consciousness, the seed of divinity that had always lain dormant and dim suddenly activated, shining brilliantly.

Only after Wang Chen connected with the seed of divinity did he understand what had happened.

It turned out that the voice from before belonged to a deity from the original God Realm of the Douluo world, one who had fallen during the war between the Dragon God and the gods.

This deity was Dream God. He controlled dreams and could peer into another person's secrets through their dreams.

At the same time, he could influence the other party's subconscious through dreams.

However, Dream God also had a flaw: he could not invade someone protected by a deity.

Otherwise, the dream would be easily destroyed, and he himself would suffer backlash.

Wang Chen's seed of divinity had been specially given to him by the powerful being who had brought him across worlds to the prehistoric world, as compensation.

Although the seed of divinity had not been able to provide much power before, its inherent status was there.

Dream God had wanted to rely on the power of his higher-level soul to suppress and devour Wang Chen's soul.

Instead, he was suppressed and devoured by the even higher-level seed of divinity Wang Chen possessed.

As a result, Wang Chen successfully activated the seed of divinity.

From then on, Wang Chen would not need to wait until level ninety-nine to wield the power of the seed of divinity.

The divine power currently stored within the seed of divinity came from the divine power remaining after it absorbed Dream God, as well as the soul-origin power left behind after refining him.

As for Dream God's divine core and divine armor, they had been preserved by the seed of divinity.

This was exactly what Wang Chen wanted.

The seed of divinity was Wang Chen's secret and absolutely could not be exposed.

In the future, whenever Wang Chen needed to use divine power, he would use the seed of divinity as a medium and disguise himself as Dream God through the outer shell of Dream God's divine core.

This would allow Wang Chen to reasonably conceal the secret of the seed of divinity.

Moreover, with the disguise of Dream God, a native deity of Douluo Continent, Wang Chen could make Dream God take the blame whenever he did anything involving the followers of other gods.

It served multiple purposes at once.

Wang Chen's consciousness turned toward Dream God's divine armor. It had originally consisted of six soul bones, but now only one remained.

According to the information the seed of divinity had obtained from Dream God's soul, the other five soul bones had shattered during the war between the God Realm and the dragon clan.

Dream God had escaped by relying on his strongest head soul bone.

Dream God was a deity focused primarily on spiritual power, and his divine armor was likewise mainly designed to enhance spiritual power.

His skull bone was a spiritual-type soul bone over two hundred thousand years old, possessing powerful camouflage abilities, similar to the Angel God head soul bone Qian Renxue had absorbed.

However, Dream God's head soul bone was even more powerful.

Still, Dream God's other soul bones were nowhere near as powerful as the head soul bone.

They were only several tens of thousands of years old. Even if they had truly been preserved, Wang Chen had no intention of absorbing them.

One reason was that these soul bones were too low in age. The second was that their attributes enhanced spiritual power, making them unsuitable for him.

The importance of soul bone compatibility could be seen from the Angel God Armor.

The Angel God Armor's six soul bones were all 99,999-year light- and fire-attribute soul bones, making them highly compatible with the Angel martial soul.

The enhancement each soul bone brought Qian Renxue was in no way inferior to that of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast's soul bone.

Furthermore, the six soul bones were exceptionally compatible, allowing each one to transform and achieve the effect of a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.

Although the age of each soul bone was not particularly high, when combined as a whole, they could produce an effect where one plus one was far greater than two.

Wang Chen was very puzzled. After becoming a god, why had the Angel God not replaced his original soul bones?

With the strength of a first-level god, he could have easily replaced every soul bone in his body with hundred-thousand-year ones.

Moreover, even light- and fire-attribute soul bones could be obtained by the Angel God.

Continuing to use soul bones that had not reached a hundred thousand years was unreasonable.

Besides, divine power could increase the age of soul rings, so why could it not increase the age of soul bones?

Why the Angel God had not increased the age of his own soul bones was truly baffling.

However, Wang Chen had no interest in delving into the Angel God's thoughts.

At this point, Wang Chen had originally worried that problems would arise if he followed his plan.

First, he would absorb Hundred-Year Whale Glue, Thousand-Year Whale Glue, and even Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue.

Then, he would go to Holy Soul Village to absorb the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, head to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye to pluck the immortal herbs mentioned in the original work, and finally hunt for his first soul ring.

According to his estimates, after absorbing Hundred-Year Whale Glue, the age limit of the first soul ring he could absorb would increase by more than a hundred years.

After absorbing Thousand-Year Whale Glue, his first soul ring's age limit would increase by several hundred more years.

After absorbing Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, his first soul ring's age limit would increase by another one or two thousand years.

Taken together, this meant his first soul ring could be nearly two thousand years old.

With the boost from the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, along with the boosts from all kinds of immortal herbs, he could endure absorbing a five-thousand-year first soul ring.

Wang Chen was not making this up. It was a conclusion drawn from Tang San's ability to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring as his third soul ring.

If he planned things properly, Wang Chen would have Dream God's head soul bone, the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, Hundred-Year Whale Glue, Thousand-Year Whale Glue, Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, and the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye as his foundation.

Tang San had been able to use these to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring despite normally being able to absorb one of only five or six thousand years.

This meant that absorbing the immortal herbs had increased Tang San's soul ring age limit by four or five thousand years.

After Tang San absorbed the immortal herbs, his fourth soul ring's age limit could increase by a full thousand years.

There was no reason Wang Chen could not absorb a five- or six-thousand-year soul ring as his first soul ring.

With this five-thousand-year first soul ring as a foundation, he would be able to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring for his second one.
