"Originally, this last wisp of my will was about to dissipate as well. But fortunately, before it vanished, I was able to wait for you."
"Then if that's the case, when you say I'll inherit everything from you, does that mean I can inherit your Divine Seat, Divine Artifacts, and Divine Skills?" Chu Yuan asked.
At that, the human figure formed from the Dragon God's will nodded.
Seeing this, Chu Yuan spread one hand. "Then let's begin. How exactly are you going to let me inherit everything? A God Exam or something?"
He truly had not expected that the Dragon God still remained in this world. Though it was only a fragment of will, it was still better than nothing.
At the very least, it could save him some detours, whether he inherited the Dragon God through a God Exam or some other method.
"Hehe, a God Exam? What kind of trash inheritance method is that? I am the strongest god. Who my inheritor is and how the inheritance is carried out are naturally for me to decide."
After speaking, the figure waved a hand. Immediately, the Nine-Hued Godforce above the dragon-serpent Corpse drifted into his palm.
"This is..." Chu Yuan stared intently at the Nine-Hued Godforce in the hand of the humanoid form of the Dragon God's will.
"Godhood!?" There was a trace of shock in Chu Yuan's voice.
After a god died, their Godhood would shatter on its own unless they passed down their Divine Seat.
The Dragon God was already dead, so his Godhood should not have existed.
"Surprised, aren't you? Let me tell you, don't compare me to those useless fools. They couldn't preserve their Godhood after death, but that doesn't mean I couldn't."
The Dragon God seemed quite satisfied with Chu Yuan's reaction.
Chu Yuan looked at the Dragon God's Godhood in the Dragon God's hand, his breathing becoming slightly hurried.
The Godhood acquired by Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts earlier had been Godhood without a Divine Seat. That was why Di Tian and the others had needed to refine the Godhood and then condense their own Divine Seats.
But the Dragon God's Godhood was different. The Dragon God's Divine Seat was still completely intact. In other words, he only needed to refine the Dragon God's Godhood to directly inherit the Dragon God's Divine Seat.
Moreover, this method would allow him to achieve one hundred percent compatibility with the Dragon God's Divine Seat.
As for the Dragon God's Divine Skills, Divine Artifacts, and everything else belonging to the Dragon God, he would instantly comprehend them without instruction when he inherited the Dragon God's Divine Seat.
Unlike inheriting a Divine Seat through a God Exam, where he would still need to adapt to a god's power, Divine Artifacts, Divine Skills, and so on after inheriting it.
At that moment, the Dragon God suddenly let out a long, quiet sigh.
"The Dragon Clan has fallen to such a state because of me."
Back then, he had lost control and personally killed several of his own sons. Even as the Dragon God, he could not bear such an act.
"Child, I hope you will not follow my old path."
He now deeply regretted what he had done. He truly did not want his child to walk the same path he had.
After speaking, the strand of Nine-Hued Godforce in the Dragon God's hand slowly floated into Chu Yuan's palm.
Then, within only a few breaths, that wisp of Nine-Hued Godforce entered Chu Yuan's body directly.
At the same time, a small diamond-shaped block radiating nine-colored light appeared in Chu Yuan's Sea of Spirit.
"Child, I hope you can revive the Dragon Clan. And I pray that you will not repeat my mistakes. I am going to find your mother."
When he mentioned his beloved, the Dragon God's tone suddenly became deeply affectionate and lovestruck. Then he smiled in relief as the human figure formed from his will slowly dissipated.
Hearing the Dragon God's final words, Chu Yuan could not help but tremble all over.
There was definitely something strange about this Douluo Continent.
The naturally violent and overwhelmingly powerful Dragon God had actually been lovesick too.
Fortunately, he was not a native of Douluo Continent. Otherwise, he might have had his mind infected by the legendary Love God as well!
Before leaving, Chu Yuan deliberately left behind a massive pit in an empty patch of ground, large enough to hold the Dragon God's Corpse.
After all, the Dragon God's Corpse was so enormous. With Gu Yuena alone, digging a pit would probably take a very long time, let alone burying him afterward.
So Chu Yuan lent a small hand. Gu Yuena was part of the Dragon Clan, after all. Although she was not particularly bright, he could not truly let her die of exhaustion.
After finishing all this, Chu Yuan moved to an open area.
This unexpected surprise had truly caught him off guard.
It was already surprising enough that a fragment of the Dragon God's will had remained, but even his Godhood had been preserved.
He just did not know how long it would take to refine the Dragon God's Godhood.
But it probably would not take too long. Leaving aside his strength, the bloodline within his body alone would allow him to achieve twice the result with half the effort while refining the Dragon God's Godhood.
Chu Yuan sat down cross-legged. After letting out a deep breath, he began the long process of refining it.
At the same time, several enormous Nine-Colored Scales surrounded him.
Meanwhile, in Spirit City.
Qian Renxue walked through the streets of Spirit City, sensing the freedom carried by the people around her. She could not help but feel immensely envious.
"If my talent hadn't been so good, that would have been nice. Then perhaps I could have been like them."
Her Storage Soul Tool contained countless Gold Soul Coins, yet now she did not know what she wanted to buy.
"Come on. They're just guilting you. Why should you give up your own life for people you don't even know?"
The voice of the figure identical to herself, the one she had seen in her dream that day, sounded in Qian Renxue's mind again.
Faced with the sudden voice, Qian Renxue immediately became as wary as if she were facing a great enemy.
"Who exactly are you!?"
She had witnessed plenty of strange things since childhood, but something like this—a person who looked exactly like her, whom she had clearly only dreamed of, yet whose voice could still sound in reality—
Let alone seen it, she had never even heard of such a thing!
"Didn't I already tell you? I am you, and you are me. We are one. Just listen to me. Leave this city and live for yourself from now on. It's not like I could harm you, right?"
"Besides, harming you would be the same as harming myself, wouldn't it?"
The voice was immensely seductive and bewitching, making one's bones go soft just from hearing it.
Qian Renxue stopped paying attention to the voice in her head. She could not figure out what was going on at all.
Besides, if she listened to her and stopped cultivating, would that not be bad for her too?
Could a soul master still be called a soul master if she did not cultivate and grow stronger?
Glancing at the sky, Qian Renxue could not help but sigh.
Why had she never noticed how quickly a day passed when she used to cultivate?
Qian Renxue lightly shifted her steps and headed toward Spirit Hall's headquarters at the center of the city.
From the shadows, Qian Daoliu watched the direction in which his granddaughter was leaving.
"Xue'er, forgive Grandpa. Given the current situation, there is no other choice."
The only good news now was that the soul beast army had withdrawn just as it was about to reach the city walls.
But that might also be bad news, indicating that the soul beasts had made a new decision internally.
