How Is This Possible?

"You can send me back to Blue Star?!"

Ling Xuqing sprang up from the scales of the Golden Dragon King, his eyes locked onto the majestic figure shrouded in divine light. His voice turned sharp and tremulous from sheer agitation.

He scrambled forward on his hands and knees, as if terrified that this supreme God of Creation might change his mind, his eyes blazing with an unprecedented, fanatical hope.

To someone who had a complete life trajectory back on Blue Star, no amount of divine realms or supreme power could ever compare to a morning bowl of soy milk and fried dough sticks, or the lamp left on for him late at night.

As long as he could go back, he wouldn't hesitate for even half a second to abandon all so-called "opportunities."

However, faced with Ling Xuqing's near-begging gaze, the Dragon God only shook his head slightly.

A flicker of helplessness and melancholy crossed that face veiled in golden light.

"I cannot send you back to Blue Star."

The Dragon God's voice echoed through the desolate Forbidden God Land, carrying the weight of an undeniable, cruel reality.

"Let alone the current me, who is merely a lingering remnant soul struggling to survive, even at my peak—the Creation Dragon God in my prime—I would have no way to send you back to your original world!"

"What?!"

Ling Xuqing felt as if he had been struck in the chest by a heavy hammer. His entire being plunged into an icy abyss, the fire of hope that had just ignited instantly extinguished.

His legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed back onto the cold scales, his face turning as pale as paper.

"Even at your peak... you can't?" Ling Xuqing muttered to himself, his voice filled with despair.

He had originally assumed that since the other party was a God of Creation, a supreme existence, sending someone across worlds would be nothing more than a trivial task.

But reality had dealt him the heaviest blow.

"Why..." he asked, unwilling to give up, his voice trembling.

"Because the barriers of worlds and the laws of the universe are not things that can be easily broken by human power."

The Dragon God spoke slowly, his tone revealing a sense of awe toward the origin of the universe. "Every world has its own independent trajectory and fundamental laws. Although I am a God of Creation, I am merely a peak existence within the laws of this Douluo God Realm. My power originates from this world, so naturally, I cannot forcibly tear through the dimensions of the universe to send you to another completely unrelated world."

Ling Xuqing's heart sank to the very bottom.

He stood frozen in place, his mind a blank slate.

He couldn't go back?

Was he truly destined to be trapped in this dangerous, law-defying Forbidden God Land, spending the rest of his life with a sealed Golden Dragon King and a wisp of a remnant soul?

"No... I don't believe it... there must be a way!"

Ling Xuqing suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with a desperate, do-or-die resolve.

He hurried over to the Dragon God, looked up, and asked urgently, "You said just now that you 'could help me.' Since you can't send me back directly, you must have other ways, right? Please, tell me! I am willing to pay any price!"

Watching Ling Xuqing's anxious, red-rimmed eyes, the Dragon God remained silent for a moment.

He looked deeply at Ling Xuqing, his gaze seemingly piercing through his very soul.

Finally, the Dragon God spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful: "Kid, it is actually quite simple. As long as you stand at the pinnacle of this world, master the power of its laws, and mobilize the origin of those laws and the power of the universe, you will be able to find the path you came from and return to where you belong!"

"Stand at the pinnacle of this world? Master the power of the laws?"

Ling Xuqing was stunned. He chewed over these words repeatedly, his brain quickly grasping the meaning after a brief moment of emptiness.

His eyes lit up again, but this time, accompanying the hope was an even deeper, bottomless despair.

"This... how is this possible?!"

Ling Xuqing's voice rose sharply, laced with intense bitterness and self-mockery.

He pointed at the boundless chaos and turbulent energy flows around them, then at the mountain-like body of the Golden Dragon King beneath him, and finally at the Dragon God.

"I have no martial soul, no soul power, and I'm not even on the Douluo Continent—I'm in this Douluo God Realm, in the Forbidden God Land!"

The more Ling Xuqing spoke, the more agitated he became, his hands waving wildly in the air. "I am just an ordinary person from Blue Star, I don't even know what soul power is! How do you expect me to stand at the pinnacle of the Douluo world? To challenge those high and mighty gods? As I am now, I'm afraid I couldn't even beat the most ordinary soul scholar or soul master on the Douluo Continent!"

He let his hands drop dejectedly, his face ashen.

In the worldview of the Douluo Continent, without a martial soul or soul power, one was a complete waste.

Furthermore, he was currently on the edge of the God Realm; any random energy storm here could tear a mortal like him into shreds.

Let alone standing at the pinnacle of the world, it was a miracle he had survived until today.

"No, you can do it."

The Dragon God's voice remained steady, without a ripple, as if the despair and difficulties Ling Xuqing spoke of were nothing more than insignificant dust in his eyes.

"I can do it?"

Ling Xuqing froze. He looked up at the Dragon God in disbelief. "How are you going to help me?"

The Dragon God raised his hand slightly, pointing to the massive, dark-gold dragon body beneath them, his tone as flat as if he were discussing something mundane:

"It is simple. I will manipulate the Golden Dragon King's body to perform a sacrifice for you, allowing you to completely fuse with its origin and reshape yourself. This way, you will be able to use the power of the Golden Dragon King. Afterward, I will send you to the Douluo Continent. You will only need to awaken your martial soul normally and cultivate."

"Golden Dragon King... sacrifice? Fusion? Send me to the Douluo Continent? Awaken a martial soul normally? Cultivate?"

Ling Xuqing's brain crashed once again.

Like a broken record, he mechanically repeated every keyword from the Dragon God's words, his eyes filled with shock and bewilderment.

The Golden Dragon King—that was the legendary, terrifying existence that carried all the power and blood essence of the Dragon God, a peerless beast that even the God Realm Committee had to join forces to seal!

Now, this God of Creation was actually saying he would sacrifice the Golden Dragon King to him?

Let him fuse with its origin?

This was pure fantasy!

But before Ling Xuqing could recover from this massive shock, he suddenly realized another extremely fatal problem.

He slapped his thigh, his face turning ugly once again.

"No! That's completely wrong!"

Ling Xuqing interrupted the Dragon God anxiously, speaking at a rapid pace. "I'm already over twenty! Doesn't the Douluo Continent only awaken martial souls at age six? How am I supposed to awaken mine? Am I supposed to run to a junior soul master academy at twenty-something to enroll? They'd catch me and lock me up as a lunatic!"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt the plan was riddled with holes.

He knew the common knowledge of the Douluo Continent like the back of his hand: awakening at age six was an ironclad rule. If you missed that age, your meridians would solidify, and no matter how much talent you had, you couldn't awaken a martial soul.

Faced with Ling Xuqing's anxiety and questioning, the Dragon God did not get angry; instead, he explained patiently:

"Kid, because your physical body comes from another world, it is not tolerated by this one. Therefore, the moment you appear on the Douluo Continent in your current state, you will be crushed directly by the repulsion laws of this world, and your soul will be extinguished!"

Hearing this, Ling Xuqing shuddered, a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Only then did he realize that his "smuggled" body was a ticking time bomb.

"Therefore, if you want to go to the Douluo Continent, you must reshape your body and condense an entirely new one!"

The Dragon God's voice rang out like a bell, waking Ling Xuqing up. "Moreover, the power of the Golden Dragon King is extremely tyrannical and fierce; it requires a very strong body to carry its full might. So, I will have the Golden Dragon King sacrifice itself to you first, then reshape your body for you, and afterward send you to the Douluo Continent to awaken your martial soul normally!"

Reshape his body?

Ling Xuqing's heart sank.

He lowered his head, looked at his hands, and touched his face.

A strong sense of unease welled up in his heart.

"Reshape my body..."

Ling Xuqing's voice became hesitant and trembling.

"Then this body I have now... I have to discard it? Then... am I still me?"

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with vigilance and suspicion, staring fixedly at the Dragon God. His voice turned sharp from tension: "You wouldn't... be planning to possess me, would you?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Forbidden God Land seemed to fall silent for a moment.

A flicker of astonishment and surprise clearly crossed the Dragon God's face, which was veiled in divine light.

He seemed completely unprepared for Ling Xuqing's bizarre train of thought—that in such a life-or-death moment, he would be worried about being possessed.

"You..." The Dragon God's voice carried a hint of incredulity. He shook his head, his tone tinged with helplessness and amusement. "I am currently just a wisp of a remnant soul, liable to be crushed by the chaotic laws of this Forbidden God Land and dissipate into the heavens and earth at any moment. How would you have me possess you? If I wanted to possess you, why would I go through such trouble and even give you the Golden Dragon King's origin?"

He paused, his tone becoming solemn:

"Furthermore, the body I reshape for you will be a brand-new one, crafted based on your current body after it fuses with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline. To be precise, it will use your existing body and soul as the foundation, fusing with the Golden Dragon King's origin bloodline to create a new, six-year-old body for you. So, in reality, your body is preserved; it is simply infused with the Golden Dragon King's origin bloodline and turned into that of a six-year-old. Your soul will remain Ling Xuqing. That, will never change."

After hearing the Dragon God's explanation, Ling Xuqing was completely stunned.

He stood in place, his mind blank, as if struck by a bolt of lightning.

Preserve his body and soul, fuse with the Golden Dragon King's origin, reshape into a six-year-old body, and be sent to the Douluo Continent to awaken his martial soul...

This... how could this be possible?!
