Okay, I Believe You!

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

Ling Xuqing's voice echoed through the vast Forbidden God Land, carrying deep disbelief and extreme shock.

He stood rooted to the spot, his brain feeling as if it were being tangled and pulled by countless invisible threads, struggling to process an amount of information so vast it bordered on the absurd.

Retaining his physical body and soul, merging with the essence of the Golden Dragon King, reshaping into a six-year-old body, and being sent back to the Douluo Continent to re-awaken his martial soul...

This entire process was like a shortcut to the pinnacle of the world, tailor-made just for him.

But following this came even deeper, bottomless doubts.

"Why me?" Ling Xuqing suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

He stared fixedly at the towering figure before him, his voice trembling slightly from agitation. "I think that as a former Supreme God, even if you were to reincarnate, it would be better than letting an ordinary person from Blue Star like me merge with the Golden Dragon King, right? I have neither a powerful bloodline nor heaven-defying talent. Why me?"

Facing Ling Xuqing's questioning, a trace of bitterness flashed across the Dragon God's face, which was shrouded in divine light.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the endless chaos to look into the depths of the Forbidden God Land.

"Because I am trapped."

The Dragon God's voice was low and helpless, as if carrying endless vicissitudes. "The seals and chaotic laws of the Forbidden God Land have imprisoned me, making it impossible for me to leave this place even by a single step. Besides, even if I could reincarnate into the lower realm, the Silver Dragon King has already fled to the Douluo Continent, the Golden Dragon King is sealed here, and even my Golden Dragon Spear and Ascending Dragon Pillar have been sealed within this Forbidden God Land!"

As he spoke, the Dragon God raised his hand and pointed toward a massive pillar of light at the edge of the Forbidden God Land that soared into the clouds, radiating an ancient and sacred aura.

The pillar of light pierced straight into the chaotic void, as if it were the spine supporting this entire world.

"See that? That is the Ascending Dragon Pillar."

The Dragon God's voice held a trace of reminiscence and unwillingness. "I cannot take these things down with me. Without them, I cannot call upon the power of the Golden Dragon King, let alone return to my peak. Rather than letting them continue to be toyed with by those false gods in the God Realm, it is better to leave them in the Forbidden God Land and wait for a true opportunity!"

Ling Xuqing looked in the direction of the Dragon God's finger, and a stormy sea surged in his heart.

He finally understood that this supreme Creator God before him did not want to stay, but was completely trapped here.

But immediately after, Ling Xuqing thought of another extremely fatal problem.

"An opportunity?" Ling Xuqing frowned, his tone filled with worry. "But since those God Kings and deities of the God Realm sealed you in the Forbidden God Land, won't they react quickly once they discover that the Golden Dragon King and you have disappeared? When that time comes, they will surely hunt frantically, and won't I, having merged with the Golden Dragon King, become a target for everyone?"

"Rest assured." The Dragon God's voice remained steady, as if everything were under control. "During the fusion sacrifice, I can briefly mobilize the laws of this world to cover and conceal things, preventing them from discovering the aura of the Golden Dragon King for the time being."

He paused and continued to explain, "Moreover, I will perfectly hide the power of the Golden Dragon King within your body. The martial soul you awaken in the future will not be the Golden Dragon King itself, nor the Golden Dragon Spear, but a brand-new martial soul born from the fusion of the Golden Dragon King's power, based on the Golden Dragon Spear—the Golden Overlord Spear!"

"Golden Overlord Spear?" Ling Xuqing repeated the name, a flash of curiosity in his eyes.

"Yes, it shares the same origin as the Golden Dragon Spear and can be considered another form of it, but it is even more domineering."

The Dragon God nodded and continued, "Not only that, I will also integrate the power of the Golden Dragon King into the soul rings, dragon wings, dragon claws, and the Golden Overlord Spear that share the same origin as your soul. I will even give you the essence of the Ascending Dragon Pillar as well!"

Ling Xuqing listened, dumbfounded, completely shocked by the Dragon God's grand plan.

"In this way, you only need to find a secluded place to condense your first soul ring after awakening your martial soul on the Douluo Continent, and you will be able to use the power of the Golden Dragon King along with the dragon wings and dragon claws!" The Dragon God's voice carried a hint of pride and expectation.

"Soul ring? Dragon wings? Dragon claws?"

Ling Xuqing widened his eyes, as if he had heard something incredible.

"Exactly." The Dragon God explained patiently. "This soul ring is the origin soul ring of the Golden Dragon King; you can treat it as a God-bestowed soul ring. Never mind a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, even a million-year soul ring cannot compare to it! It comes with four skills, and these four skills are tailor-made for your body and physique, fitting perfectly!"

"As for the pair of dragon wings, they belong to the external spirit bone; the dragon claws are a pair of the Golden Dragon King's origin spirit bones. The pair of dragon wings and the dragon claws also each come with two skills, likewise customized to your origin! As for the Golden Overlord Spear, because it has integrated the power of the Golden Dragon King, it also comes with four skills, customized to your body's origin!"

The Dragon God's words struck Ling Xuqing's heart like heavy hammers, one after another.

"This way, as soon as you awaken your martial soul, you will possess twelve soul skills! Even if you are only a level 10 Spirit Master, you will have the strength to fight a Spirit Grandmaster or even a Spirit Elder! Even when facing a Spirit Douluo or a Titled Douluo, you will have enough means to save your life thanks to those dragon wings!"

Ling Xuqing was completely stunned.

Twelve soul skills!

Having the ability to challenge those of higher ranks right after awakening—this wasn't just a cheat code; it was an invincible start!

But the doubts in his heart did not completely dissipate.

He took a deep breath, looked at the Dragon God again, and asked the question that had been circling in the deepest part of his heart:

"But... why me?"

The Dragon God watched him quietly, his deep gaze seemingly piercing through Ling Xuqing's soul.

"You should ask why you traveled from Blue Star to the Douluo world, and why you happened to travel to this Forbidden God Land!"

The Dragon God's voice was low and mysterious. "You might be the hope of my Dragon Clan, or the Spirit Beast clan. Your arrival might be an arrangement of the Heavenly Dao or the laws of the universe at a higher plane. Otherwise, how could you have come to this Forbidden God Land? Your arrival is exactly what woke me up!"

Ling Xuqing was stunned.

He had never thought that his transmigration would involve such grand laws of the universe and arrangements of the Heavenly Dao.

He had always thought he was just an unlucky accident, but he never expected that he might be some kind of destiny's choice.

"Besides, don't you want to go home?"

The Dragon God's voice carried a hint of temptation and expectation. "Possessing the power of the Golden Dragon King, if you can achieve my peak cultivation in the future and become the new Dragon God, then you might have the chance to stand at the pinnacle of this world, become the Master of the Plane, and control the laws of the plane! By then, wouldn't you be able to find the way home?"

Home!

These two words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly illuminating all the gloom and hesitation in Ling Xuqing's heart.

That's right, wasn't everything he was doing for the sake of returning to Blue Star, to that ordinary world with soy milk, fried dough sticks, parents, and friends?

If becoming the Dragon God and controlling the laws meant he could go home, then he was willing to walk this path full of thorns!

The Forbidden God Land fell into a brief, deathly silence.

Ling Xuqing stood where he was, countless images flashing through his mind: the neon lights of Blue Star, the chaos of the Forbidden God Land, the roar of the Golden Dragon King, the expectations of the Dragon God...

All the images finally converged into one firm thought.

He took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at the Dragon God with burning eyes.

"So, little one, have you decided?"

The Dragon God's voice rang out in the void, carrying a hint of imperceptible anticipation.

There was no more confusion or hesitation in Ling Xuqing's eyes, replaced by an unprecedented firmness.

He nodded heavily, his voice ringing out with conviction:

"Okay, I believe you!"
