Vinster King, Lord of Reality, Final Calamity

Morning sunlight spilled over the vast, boundless forest, and the eastern horizon was tinged with hints of violet.

Sunrise looked somewhat like dusk, but compared to dusk, it brimmed far more with life.

Birds had always been the most diligent creatures. The early morning breeze, carrying the salty, fishy scent of earth, rang their biological clocks, sending them chasing early-rising insects beneath the pale blue sky.

Crack~

The sound of a snapping branch echoed through the forest. Lin En looked up at the sun, feeling deeply moved.

Having lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for a year, he had unexpectedly grown reluctant to leave. Perhaps for an anomaly like him, hiding in the mountains was where he felt most at ease.

Lin En shook his head. The Star Dou Great Forest was not his path; his road was destined to soar freely through the skies.

The towering crowns of the ancient trees in the Star Dou Great Forest wove together into a green ocean. Light passed through the gaps, gathering ahead into patches of varying sizes. A ray of sunlight fell upon the necklace around Lin En's neck.

The necklace itself was made of ordinary material, but what hung from it was anything but ordinary: a small, ink-black scale.

Di Tian had given it to him. It was not a reverse scale, merely a keepsake. Di Tian's aura lingered within it, though it would soon dissipate.

It served as a temporary pass. As long as the aura remained, he would have unimpeded passage through the Star Dou Great Forest.

Little Sage had constantly advised Lin En in the Sea of Spirit to devour the scale after leaving the Star Dou Great Forest and obtain the bloodline memory cells of the Dark Dragon Clan.

The scale was too small, so theoretically, it would be difficult to generate bloodline memory cells. However, Lin En possessed the bloodline memory cells of the Light Holy Dragon. That was a gift left behind by Uncle Yu; the four soul bones contained essence blood.

The Light Dragon Clan and Dark Dragon Clan had a relationship of love and hatred, and their bloodlines were actually somewhat similar.

After all, without sufficient compatibility, Long Xiaoyao and Mu En could not possibly have possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Di Tian was not merely a member of the Dark Dragon Clan. He was the child of the Light Dragon King and the Dark Dragon King, possessing the bloodlines of both dragon clans, though the Dark Dragon Clan bloodline held the upper hand.

In a sense, if the Dragon God was considered the Vinster King, then the nine Dragon Kings were First-Generation Species, while Di Tian belonged to the Next-Generation Species.

Moreover, the Dragon God truly had granted the nine Dragon Kings power. He gave them the nine attainments he had acquired through evolving his own bloodline, helping them break through to become God Kings.

The Dragon Clan and Douluo were rather alike. Jiang Nan and Tang Jia San Shao truly were a pair of ill-fated lovers.

With this scale from Di Tian, a high-ranking member of the Dragon Clan, he could completely overwrite the Light Holy Dragon bloodline memory cells with Dark Dragon Clan bloodline memory cells.

At the same time, he could use the Immune System to preserve a portion of the Light Holy Dragon bloodline memory cells in advance. That way, his body could contain the bloodlines of both the Dark Dragon Clan and the Light Dragon Clan.

Lin En simply did not understand what special significance this had. Di Tian's bloodline was clearly stronger than the Light Holy Dragon's. Even if he fused it using the third soul skill, Life-Eroding Metamorphosis, Di Tian's bloodline would still prevail.

"Little Sage, does the Dark Dragon Clan bloodline have some special significance?"

If he did not understand something, he asked. Lin En never let questions accumulate in his heart, and his little bun at home never refused to answer his questions.

Little Sage's distinctive mechanical calculation sounds echoed in his mind. After organizing its words for a while, it said softly:

"There is only one being in this world who possesses all nine Dragon Clan bloodlines at once: the endpoint of the Dragon Clan Bloodline, the Dragon God."

A puzzled expression appeared on Lin En's face. "The Dragon God? Of course I know. Water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, space, time, and stability—those are the Dragon God's nine great attributes."

"But the Dragon God's authorities are destruction and the Genesis of the phoenix. You don't think that just because I obtain all nine attributes, I can become the Dragon God, do you?"

Little Sage said faintly, "Hard to say."

"According to your database, the Dragon God sought death, yet he would not hand his godhood to the Silver Dragon King or the Golden Dragon King. The Silver Dragon King commanded Genesis, while the Golden Dragon King commanded destruction.

"The Silver Dragon King is a phoenix wearing the skin of the Dragon Clan, while the Golden Dragon King is divided madness. Neither of them has inheritance rights."

"Soul beasts also have no right to inherit the Dragon God's Godhood. The Dragon God could not possibly give his godhood to soul beasts."

"Your database clearly records that the Dragon God's wife was provoked by the rumors of the Dragon God Realm into forcibly conceiving a child, and she died as a result.

"The Dragon God's son was incited by the Dragon Kings into forcibly helping the Dragon God undergo his tribulation, and he was reduced to ashes."

"The Dragon God's most beloved youngest daughter, the Water Dragon King, was killed by the Light Dragon King. Everything the Dragon God cherished was destroyed.

"Based on this line of reasoning, the beast race that caused the deaths of his wife and son has only a 0.07 percent chance of inheriting the Dragon God's Godhood."

"Before your appearance, humans were the race most likely to inherit the Dragon God's Godhood.

"The first human deity was born after the Dragon-Phoenix War, during the stable period of the Dragon God Realm. When the Dragon God's wife died, the first human deity had not yet been born, so humanity did not participate in that coup.

"No human deity was involved in the death of the Dragon God's son either. It was the Dragon Kings' instigation."

Lin En pointed at himself, somewhat incredulous. "So now I'm the one most likely to inherit the Dragon God's Godhood?"

"The Dragon God would give his godhood to an invasive species from another world?"

Little Sage replied, "By normal logical deduction, yes, because he does not care."

"As long as you meet the minimum requirements, the Dragon God is highly likely to grant you his godhood. He seeks death, but a Supreme God King is immortal and indestructible. Only by giving away his godhood and severing its uniqueness can he completely die and reincarnate to seek his wife."

"You are a dragon from another world and have no involvement in any causality of this world. Now that the Dragon God's bloodline no longer exists, you are the inheritor with the highest priority."

Lin En was stunned. Little Sage's words sounded especially absurd, yet there was a certain logic within that absurdity.

Based on Little Sage's theory, if he put himself in the Dragon God's position and looked at the beast-race deities who had caused his wife's death, the fact that he had not slapped the beast race to death was probably only because the Dragon Crown Prince had held him back.

Then the Dragon Crown Prince had been killed by the Dragon Kings he trusted most. It would have been stranger if the Dragon God had not gone mad.

"But what would I even do with the Dragon God's Godhood? I think I could create my own godhood too."

"I never lose!"

Lin En wore a confident expression. Even though he knew that creating a godhood from scratch would be extremely difficult, the Dragon Clan's dictionary had never contained the words admitting defeat. Life and death were taken lightly; if he refused to submit, then he fought!

Little Sage fell silent for a moment before saying, "The database shows that the Divine Realm's godhoods have already reached saturation and cannot accommodate new godhoods."

"Creating your own godhood is extremely difficult. You must simultaneously create both a godhood and a Divine Realm, using a new Divine Realm to contain that godhood.

"However, the native Divine Realm still exists and cannot possibly sit by while a new Divine Realm is born. Creating a godhood turns a dead end into two blocked paths. In this era, its difficulty is at the highest level."

"Therefore, obtaining the Dragon God's Godhood is the optimal choice. Standing on the shoulders of giants and carrying out secondary creation is far faster than starting from nothing."

"Furthermore, your ultimate goal is to forge yourself into a conceptual biosphere, contaminate reality, become the Lord of Reality, and become the Final Calamity.

"Achieving that goal requires an exceptionally powerful foundation. Of the currently known options that meet the basic requirements and can be obtained, only the Dragon God's Godhood qualifies."
