Gu Yuena's Dragon Fang, Dragon Abyss Ring

"Sister Na, you should know quality when you see it, right?"

"Life, death, evil, goodness, and slaughter. These are the world's higher-tier power attributes. Any creature in heaven and earth that has these powers as its core is extremely strong. Take that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the Star Dou Great Forest, for example."

"These higher-tier attributes stand a level above the five elemental attributes such as fire and water. Thus, the gods who control these laws are God Kings!"

There were differences in strength even among attributes.

Among all the Human Clan martial souls on the continent, even the most powerful ones had no martial souls centered around these five higher-tier attributes.

If such a martial soul appeared, it would be beyond control. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had been an ordinary White Tiger before the Evil God King descended to the lower realm and corrupted it. Yet after its corruption, it had become absurdly powerful!

This showed just how formidable the five higher-tier attributes were!

Of course, Li Qinglian himself was a special existence.

He was one of the rare creatures who possessed a higher-tier attribute.

The advancement of higher-tier attributes was higher-tier laws. These five laws formed the Five Supreme Gods of the God Realm.

But had powers such as life, Destruction, and evil already reached their peak?

Obviously not.

Chaos and Reincarnation... those were even more supreme powers!

If Li Qinglian entered the Dao through Reincarnation, then after becoming a god, his achievements would be far greater than those of a mere God of Death! This was far more than one plus one equaling two!

"Life and death are not Reincarnation. But when Reincarnation is broken down, it consists of the Law of Life and the Law of Death."

"My Death Divine Tree has now grown branches and leaves of life. This means my Death Divine Tree is evolving toward a Reincarnation Divine Tree."

Li Qinglian continued.

Before Gu Yuena, he truly had nothing to hide.

The stronger he appeared, the better.

Only then would Gu Yuena truly consider nurturing him!

And Li Qinglian also needed Gu Yuena's help.

The Dragon Clan had been the overlords of the previous era!

The Dragon Clan had ruled this starry sky for countless years. If not for their internal strife, the Human Clan would never have had the chance to rise.

If Li Qinglian could benefit from such a civilization, his upper limit could rise several more levels!

"Reincarnation Divine Tree!"

Gu Yuena's eyes widened.

The Silver Dragon King had inherited the Dragon God's ability to control elements.

Gu Yuena controlled more than ten different elemental attributes and could even merge them to unleash a terrifying ultimate move like an Elemental Storm.

Gu Yuena was very proud. Her strength was certainly greater than that of the Five Supreme Gods, who each controlled only a single law.

But Li Qinglian possessed the power of Reincarnation!

"At his peak, the Dragon God could fight the Five Supreme Gods of the God Realm at once without falling behind. If the Dragon God had not willingly allowed himself to be split apart, even the Five Supreme Gods working together could not have cleaved him apart."

A trace of pride appeared in Gu Yuena's eyes.

After losing his sanity, the Dragon God had killed his own flesh and blood, the Dragon Clan's crown prince. He had then gone completely mad, bringing endless calamity to the Dragon Realm and the God Realm.

After regaining his senses, the Dragon God was wracked with grief. Knowing his sins were grave, he willingly allowed the Asura God to split him apart.

Why did the God Realm suppress the Golden Dragon King and compress the living space of soul beasts? The reason was simple. If the Dragon God truly revived, even the Five Supreme Gods joining forces might not be able to defeat him.

If a God King of the God Realm were used as a unit of measurement, then the Dragon God would have possessed the strength of six or seven God Kings.

The Silver Dragon King and Golden Dragon King were each stronger than two God Kings of the God Realm, but they absolutely could not defeat three God Kings working together.

Therefore, the two Dragon Kings each possessed strength equivalent to 2.5 God Kings.

"Li Qinglian. Your current upper limit is at least enough to stand on equal footing with me and the Golden Dragon King."

Gu Yuena's gaze was complicated.

It was truly difficult for soul beasts to increase their strength through cultivation.

Especially when it came to raising their own upper limits, it was simply too difficult to rely on cultivation alone.

A soul beast's strength came from its bloodline. The only way for her to raise her upper limit was to devour the Golden Dragon King.

That was precisely why, upon seeing Li Qinglian undergo such changes in just six years, Gu Yuena truly felt somewhat envious.

"When you took human form six years ago, I already had high hopes for you. Because of the Human Clan's unique nature, proving the Dao with a human body gave you greater potential than proving the Dao with your Death Divine Tree's original form."

"Besides, the Goddess of Life regards you as a treasure. Naturally, she will do everything she can to help you."

"So, back then, I believed that as long as you could enter the God Realm, your lower limit would be becoming the Death God King of the God Realm, opening up a Death Domain and becoming a God King in your own right. But your upper limit would definitely be somewhat higher than that of the Destruction God King and the others."

"I just never expected you to reach this point so quickly."

Gu Yuena's peerlessly beautiful face was filled with complicated emotions.

For the Dragon Clan, six years was no more than the time it took to close their eyes, open them, and take a nap.

"Sister Na, I've barely even begun. Though Reincarnation can be broken down into life and death as its origins, mastering the mysteries of life and death does not mean one has mastered Reincarnation. I still have a long road ahead."

"Perhaps I won't make it to the end."

Li Qinglian smiled and shrugged.

"Don't say such discouraging things. You will definitely succeed."

Gu Yuena reached out, her slender fair fingers gently covering Li Qinglian's lips. There was a hint of intimate reproach in the gesture.

Her silver eyes, beneath the fragmented light filtering through the canopy, were like two springs filled with starlight as she looked at him earnestly.

"Alright, alright. I won't say it anymore."

Li Qinglian froze for a moment, then smiled and moved her hand away.

He always felt that something was off about Gu Yuena. Perhaps he was just overthinking it.

These soul beasts did not seem to care about such things as much as human women did.

Gu Yuena withdrew her hand but did not lower it immediately. She lowered her eyes and fell silent for a moment, her silver-white hair gently fluttering in the breeze as though she were making some important decision.

Then she raised her head and extended her right hand before Li Qinglian, opening her palm.

A silver-white ring lay quietly in her fair palm.

The ring was entirely silver-white, its surface engraved with fine, exquisite dragon-scale patterns. Under the sunlight, it glimmered with a faint, indistinct radiance. A deep-blue gemstone was set into its face, and within the gemstone, mist seemed to slowly churn. One glance at it gave the illusion that one's gaze would be sucked inside.

"This is..."

Li Qinglian was slightly taken aback.

"The Dragon Abyss Ring."

Gu Yuena's tone carried a trace of solemnity.

"It was forged from one of my dragon fangs and has accompanied me for tens of thousands of years. Its internal space is comparable to a small palace, and it has the effect of time stagnation. Anything placed inside will not rot or spoil. It can be stored or retrieved with a thought, making it extremely useful in battle. Most importantly, this ring can store living creatures."

She paused, then gently placed the ring into Li Qinglian's palm.

The silver-white ring still carried the warmth of her palm. It felt smooth and slightly cool.

"Forged from one of your dragon fangs, Sister Na?"

Li Qinglian picked up the ring, examining it carefully and giving it a sniff in passing.

A faint fragrance rushed into his nostrils.

Gu Yuena's expression froze before abruptly turning red.

She shot Li Qinglian a fierce glare.

Even if her emotional intelligence was low, she knew exactly what Li Qinglian was doing.

"My teeth are clean!"
