The Mountain Dragon King's power dissipated.
The dragon bones buried within the grave also dimmed. If Qian Renxue dug up this freshly filled grave, she would be shocked to discover that the dragon bones which had caused her so much trouble had become just like the previous ones.
But clearly, kind-hearted Qian Renxue would not do such a thing.
"Such powerful strength."
Qian Renxue clenched her fists, surprise in her eyes. Just now, she could clearly feel that her physical strength had directly doubled!
After the enhancement of the entire Dragon Clan Cemetery, her physical strength had already reached a terrifying level.
By Qian Renxue's estimation, her physical strength alone was enough to contend with relatively outstanding Titled Douluos.
And now, that strength had doubled!
Qian Renxue did not know what level her strength had reached, but if she needed a comparison, then without exaggeration, she felt she could easily crush her two uncles, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo.
"Compared to Grandpa Golden Crocodile..."
Qian Renxue shook her head, somewhat uncertain. She had not seen Grandpa Golden Crocodile in a long time, and she had never seen Golden Crocodile make a move.
She was also unsure whether her physical strength could reach that level.
"Forget it. I'll test it after I get out."
Qian Renxue no longer dwelled on the matter and instead recalled Heavenly Dao's instructions.
Though a very, very long time had passed, she still remembered the task Heavenly Dao had given her.
Enter the core region of the Dragon Realm.
But... where was the core region?
When she buried the myriad dragons, she had traversed nearly the entire Dragon Clan Cemetery, yet she had not found anything unusual.
Not to mention the core; she had not even found a place that looked like one.
Qian Renxue looked around. "Could the core region not be here? But Heavenly Dao..."
"Alas."
A sigh rang out.
The next second, seven-colored radiance bloomed from Qian Renxue's body!
Under her astonished gaze, a familiar figure emerged from within her body and vanished in a flash.
Whoosh!
A breeze swept past, and Qian Renxue vanished from where she stood.
"You're here."
A voice sounded beside Qian Renxue's ear. She opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar man before her, wrapped in seven-colored light. She was startled at first, then carefully asked:
"You are?"
"I am the Dragon God."
"Dragon God? Are you a god?"
Hearing Qian Renxue's question, the Dragon God was slightly taken aback. "You... don't know me?"
A little girl who had forcibly broken through the seal with the power of the Icefire Dragon Kings and arrived in the Dragon Realm actually did not know him? Had the god behind her not told her about him?
"Hm?" Qian Renxue was confused. "What should I know?"
"Interesting, interesting."
The Dragon God laughed. He could sense that the little girl before him truly seemed never to have heard of his name.
Although he could not understand what the person behind Qian Renxue was planning, it no longer mattered. She was already here, and the person behind her would reveal herself sooner or later. There was no need to rush into probing.
He would first have a chat with this little girl.
"I am the Dragon God, the god of the dragon clan."
The Dragon God explained casually, then stared intensely at Qian Renxue.
"Can you tell me why you did those things outside?"
"Outside? Things?"
Qian Renxue's nervousness eased somewhat. The dragon clan's god looked rather kind. He probably would not hurt her, right?
And since this was where the dragon clan's god resided, did that not mean this was the core region of the dragon clan?
Then Heavenly Dao should be arriving soon, right?
With that thought, the urgency in Qian Renxue's heart faded considerably, and her entire expression relaxed.
However, considering the strength of the Dragon God before her, she still spoke very respectfully.
"Do you mean the Myriad Dragon Cemetery?"
"The Myriad Dragon Cemetery? That name works too." The Dragon God smiled faintly.
"I just thought they were pitiful," Qian Renxue answered without hesitation.
"They were pitiful? You truly think so?" There was something strange in the Dragon God's gaze. An interesting answer.
"Yes."
Qian Renxue nodded. "During my first year here, I did not feel that way, so I wandered through the Myriad Dragon Cemetery the whole time. It was only after looking for so long, after my heart calmed down, that I began to feel it."
"Seeing these bones exposed in the wilderness, I do not know what they did while alive, but seeing them so miserable even after death left me with an unpleasant feeling."
"After all, on the Douluo Continent, when people die, they must be laid to rest in the earth."
"And then you thought of helping them rest in peace?"
"Yes."
"..."
The Dragon God stared at the girl before him. After a long while, he sighed.
He could sense that every word the girl before him said was true, even if she now harbored a small amount of self-interest.
But the Dragon God could be certain that when she buried the myriad dragons, her heart had been pure, without any selfish motives mixed in.
He could not help but marvel. As expected of the inheritor chosen by the Angel God.
That innocent heart and compassionate way of acting carried much of the bearing of the first Angel God.
The Angel God had a worthy successor!
"Go on. What do you want?" The Dragon God decided to bestow some gifts upon this human girl.
Although she had already gained enormous benefits while burying the myriad dragons, that did not prevent the Dragon God from giving her further rewards.
"Ah?"
Qian Renxue was at a loss. Why so suddenly? I don't even know what I want.
Seeing Qian Renxue's expression, the Dragon God shook his head. "A Million-Year Soul Bone, a Divine-Bestowed Spirit Ring, or treasures of the dragon clan—whatever you want, I can give it to you."
"However, I can only give you three treasures. They can be repeats, so think carefully before choosing."
"A Million-Year Soul Bone? A Divine-Bestowed Spirit Ring? Treasures of the dragon clan?"
Qian Renxue was somewhat shocked. This Dragon God was so generous, offering Million-Year Soul Bones and Divine-Bestowed Spirit Rings right away.
She had heard her grandfather mention the latter and had seen it once or twice in books, but as for the former, she had never even seen a Million-Year Soul Bone mentioned in books. She had only heard of them in myths.
One had to know that even the Angel God's nine Soul Bones were only hundred-thousand-year ones.
As for the third option, treasures of the dragon clan—if they were listed alongside the first two, they surely could not be much worse.
Qian Renxue swallowed. Faced with such tempting choices, her first thought was that she wanted them all.
After all, with these three choices, she could select each one once.
But repeats were allowed!
If she chose three Million-Year Soul Bones...
After pondering for a long time, Qian Renxue opened her small mouth. Just as she was about to state her choice with difficulty, the words changed involuntarily as they reached her lips.
"I want a martial soul—the martial soul of the Light Dragon King, one of the Nine Dragon Kings, the Holy Dragon King. If that is unavailable, I can also choose its lower-tier martial soul, one that can evolve later."
"Is this your own choice?" The Dragon God's gaze narrowed slightly, but his tone remained relaxed.
"My own choice!"
