Four Souls Return to One Body, Dragon God Symbiosis

In the darkness of the Icefire Abyss, two ancient dragon souls that had lain dormant for hundreds of millions of years finally bowed their proud heads to the Newborn Dragon God. Their loyalty and hope, spanning the ages, transformed into the purest power and flowed silently through the abyss.

Huo Yuhao looked at the two Dragon King remnant souls before him, their auras mournful yet their wills resolute, and an indescribable surge of emotion welled up within him. He could clearly sense that the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King held not the slightest trace of falsehood or calculation. All that remained was their most sincere obsession with the revival of the dragon race and their absolute submission to the Dragon God.

"Lord Dragon God," the Ice Dragon King's remnant soul said slowly. Tears shimmered in its icy-blue dragon eyes, and its voice carried the weight and resolve of countless ages. "Since the Ancient Dragon God War, the Fire Dragon King and I have had our divine souls shattered and our bodies decay. Only a wisp of remnant soul and origin power remained, trapped within this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for hundreds of millions of years. We are already at the end of our strength and have no chance of reforging dragon bodies."

The Fire Dragon King's remnant soul followed closely after. Crimson dragon flames flickered faintly around it, and its voice was filled with a determination that feared death no more. "Even if our remnant souls remain in this world, we can only linger on in pathetic existence, unable to contribute even the slightest bit to the dragon race's revival. Rather than sleep alone in such desolation, we would rather offer our final worth entirely to you—the Newborn Dragon God!"

Huo Yuhao's heart tightened. He vaguely guessed what the two Dragon Kings had decided and was just about to speak when the Ice Dragon King raised a hand to stop him.

"Lord Dragon God, there is no need to say more." The Ice Dragon King's voice was calm and solemn, every word striking like ice against the ground, sonorous and forceful. "Within your body already dwell the two ancestral dragon souls of the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King. They are the most fundamental foundation of the Dragon God's power. The Fire Dragon King and I are also among the Nine Dragon Kings and command the two ultimate origins of ice and fire. A simple inheritance of power cannot truly bring your Dragon God Power to perfection."

"So, the Fire Dragon King and I have already reached a decision—"

The Fire Dragon King stepped forward, its dragon might vast and majestic as its voice shook the entire Icefire Abyss.

"We willingly offer all our thoughts, divine consciousness, soul origin, and laws of the Great Dao, merging them entirely into your Dragon God body. We will coexist with the souls of the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King, becoming part of your divine soul!"

The moment those words fell, Huo Yuhao shuddered violently.

He had never imagined that the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings would make such a resolute choice.

This was not a simple inheritance, not a gift of power, and even less an attachment of divine souls—

It was complete self-sacrifice.

Their consciousnesses, memories, origins, and souls would all merge completely into the Newborn Dragon God's body, intertwining with the souls of the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King. From then on, there would no longer be independent Ice Dragon Kings or Fire Dragon Kings. There would only be four great dragon souls dwelling in one body, coexisting with the golden and silver twin dragons.

From then on, his soul sea would contain all at once:

The soul of the Golden Dragon King, the soul of the Silver Dragon King, the soul of the Ice Dragon King, and the soul of the Fire Dragon King.

The four great dragon souls shared the same root and origin, lived and died together, and together forged a true ancestor of all dragons!

"Your Excellencies, this is far too dangerous. If the fusion fails, your souls will be utterly destroyed, and you will never be reborn!" Huo Yuhao spoke in a deep voice, his heart filled with reluctance. These were two heroes who had fought bloody battles for the dragon race across countless ages. He did not wish for them to vanish completely in such a manner.

Yet the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King exchanged smiles. There was not the slightest fear in those smiles, only relief and glory.

"To coexist with the two ancestral dragon souls of gold and silver and become part of the Newborn Dragon God is the greatest honor of our lives!"

"Lord Dragon God, please do not hesitate! Our divine souls belonged to the Dragon God to begin with. Returning to our rightful places today is only natural!"

Before Huo Yuhao could refuse again, the two ancient dragon souls erupted with brilliant radiance beyond measure!

Around the Ice Dragon King, ice sealed everything for thousands of miles as countless ancient ice patterns spiraled through the air. They were the foundation of its divine soul, cultivated over hundreds of millions of years, containing the entire truth of the ultimate Dao of ice. Around the Fire Dragon King, raging flames burned the heavens, and endless dragonfire blazed fiercely. It was its eternally unextinguished flame soul, the core origin of the ultimate Dao of fire.

Without the slightest hesitation, the two dragon souls transformed into streams of icy and fiery light and shot toward Huo Yuhao's brow!

"No—!"

Huo Yuhao tried to stop them, but it was already too late.

The divine souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were unimaginably fast. In an instant, they pierced through his defenses and charged directly into the depths of his soul sea!

In that instant—

Pain a thousand times worse than the corrosion of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well exploded within him!

Huo Yuhao's entire body shuddered violently, and he froze where he stood. Agonizing pain surged from the depths of his soul, as though it were being torn apart alive. His soul sea had originally been a space where the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King coexisted, already maintained in an extremely delicate balance. Yet now, the divine souls of two ancient Dragon Kings had forcefully entered, instantly shattering that balance!

The Golden Dragon King's violent dominance, the Silver Dragon King's gentle vastness, the Ice Dragon King's frigid ruthlessness, and the Fire Dragon King's blazing frenzy—

The powers of the four great souls collided, intertwined, compressed, and merged wildly within his soul sea!

Extreme cold clashed with blazing fire, while dominance intertwined with vastness. Four supreme origin powers descended from the Dragon God's lineage stirred up a world-destroying storm within his soul sea.

Huo Yuhao felt as though his soul had been thrown simultaneously into an abyss frozen since ancient times and a furnace that burned the heavens and earth. One moment, he was frozen until every inch of him shattered; the next, he was burned until he turned to ash. Every wisp of his divine soul was repeatedly torn apart, crushed, and reforged. Every fragment of consciousness struggled, wailed, and verged on collapse amid the ultimate agony.

"Urgh—!!"

He could no longer suppress it and let out an agonized roar.

His body collapsed uncontrollably to the ground. He clutched his head tightly with both hands, veins bulging all over his body. At times, his skin was covered in thick ten-thousand-year frost; at others, it was scorched red and black by undying dragonfire. The golden and silver Dragon God's Origin surged wildly out of control, then continuously dimmed beneath the impact of the four great dragon souls. His once-stable foundation seemed ready to collapse at any moment.

He could clearly "see"—

At the center of his soul sea, the souls of the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King slowly unfurled as they welcomed the incoming remnant souls of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King.

All four dragon souls were supreme existences of the dragon race, all branches of the Dragon God's most essential power.

There was no rejection, no slaughter, no struggle for dominance—only the most instinctive fusion and coexistence.

The four great dragon souls were like four most loyal pillars, jointly holding up Huo Yuhao's once-fragile soul sea!

But the process was simply too painful.

It was the reforging of his soul, the fusion of the laws of the Great Dao, and the interconnection of divine-soul memories. Fragments of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' memories from hundreds of millions of years flooded endlessly into Huo Yuhao's mind—the brutality of the Ancient Dragon God War, the darkness of the God Realm's conspiracy, scenes of dragon race brethren dying miserably, the loneliness and resentment of being trapped within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well...

Countless emotions, memories, and powers surged madly into his consciousness like a tsunami, nearly bursting him apart, drowning him, and devouring him.

His consciousness sank into darkness several times, and his soul neared shattering several times.

But whenever he was about to give up, the four dragon souls within his soul sea released soul-shaking dragon roars at the same time!

The Golden Dragon King's wild roar, the Silver Dragon King's low chant, the Ice Dragon King's cold bellow, and the Fire Dragon King's furious cry—

The four great dragon souls resonated in unison, transforming into the most resolute will and pouring into his soul!

"Dragon God... shall not perish..."

"Dragon race... shall be eternal..."

"Conspiracy... shall be broken..."

"Glory... shall appear..."

Ancient, desolate whispers echoed continuously through his soul sea.

They were the shared will of the four great dragon souls, the obsession the dragon race had carried unchanged for hundreds of millions of years, and the only power supporting him through this ultimate agony.

Huo Yuhao clenched his teeth so hard they nearly shattered. Sweet, fishy blood flowed continuously from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes grew brighter and firmer.

He no longer resisted, no longer struggled, and no longer tried to stop them.

He opened his entire soul sea and allowed the four great dragon souls to intertwine, merge, coexist, and become one!

The four souls were no longer independent and no longer separated.

They merged into one, yet each continued to exist independently;

They dwelled within one body, yet each fulfilled its own role;

They were Huo Yuhao, the Newborn Dragon God, and the four great Dragon Kings of gold, silver, ice, and fire!

Time slowly passed amid the ultimate agony and fusion.

No one knew how long it took before the violent energy within his soul sea finally began to subside.

The four great dragon souls slowly circled one another, forming a perfect formation of four dragons guarding their center. They settled firmly at the core of Huo Yuhao's soul sea and bound completely with his main consciousness. From then on, they would live and die together, never to be separated.

BOOM—!!!

A heaven-sundering explosion erupted from Huo Yuhao's body!

Divine light in gold, silver, ice-blue, and fiery red broke through the darkness and illuminated the entire Icefire Abyss. A terrifying dragon might that surpassed all dragons and even the laws of heaven and earth swept forth like a tsunami, instantly filling the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It even pierced through the spring and shot into the skies!

Dragon God's Origin, stabilized!

Four great dragon souls, coexisting!

Huo Yuhao slowly raised his head. The unbearable pain on his face had long since faded into calmness.

Four-colored divine light flowed through his eyes. Half of his left eye was sealed in ice while the other half burned with fire; half of his right eye was golden while the other half was silver. The four powers were in perfect balance, and the four wills had merged as one.

He could clearly feel that two incomparably warm and resolute presences had appeared within him.

They were the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King.

They had not vanished, nor had they fallen. Instead, they would remain by his side forever in another form, becoming an inseparable part of his soul.

"Ice Dragon King... Fire Dragon King..."

Huo Yuhao spoke softly, his voice carrying the ancient vastness and majesty of four dragons resonating as one.

"We are here, Lord Dragon God."

Two gentle thoughts rang directly within his soul sea.

From then on, four souls shared one body, and all dragons returned as one.
