"I just never expected that Senior Bo Saixi's true identity was that of the Sea God Godhood. It's pitiful that she died without ever knowing she wasn't actually human. But I don't pity her; since she wanted to kill me, she is my enemy." -Zhu Zhuqing
Her gaze was icy. If it weren't for Jun Yi, she would have died at Bo Saixi's hands long ago. Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Dugu Yan couldn't help but glance at her. "I thought you and Bo Saixi were on good terms. It seems I was careless." Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly. "Although I respect Senior Bo Saixi, these are two different things. In the face of Life, everything else is trivial." Dugu Yan sighed. "Yes, only by truly experiencing life and death can one understand the fragility and preciousness of Life."
Before she could finish speaking, a blue light shot out from the sky, and a transparent droplet of water instantly merged into her body.
In an instant, Dugu Yan felt her body being torn apart by an immense force, a force so cold it chilled her to the bone, leaving her utterly powerless to resist. Jun Yi was also somewhat stunned. His first thought was that Dugu Yan had been attacked, but his Observation Haki detected nothing amiss.
"Seniors, what is that drop of water?" Jun Yi asked the two dragon kings within his body.
"If I'm not mistaken, that should be the Godhood of the Water God. The Water God has directly bestowed his Godhood upon the successor. This is an immense opportunity and blessing. Generally speaking, very few gods would do this unless they want to leave the Divine Realm," said the Ice Dragon King.
"It seems the Divine Realm is truly in chaos. The death of the Asura God will trigger a second war in the Divine Realm, which presents an opportunity for us," the Light Dragon King echoed.
"I see. Good things come in pairs, it really is true." Jun Yi smiled slightly, then raised his finger and used the power of the Op-Op Fruit to control the Water God Godhood within Dugu Yan's body.
When the Godhood of the Si Shui Water God entered her body, Dugu Yan immediately felt as if her heart had been struck by a heavy hammer, causing her unbearable pain. But she was not weak. She gritted her teeth and endured all the pain, sat cross-legged, and mobilized her power to accept this Godhood.
Jun Yi understood that the Water God Godhood was transforming Dugu Yan's body, so he didn't interfere and let Dugu Yan bear it herself. As time passed, the pain Dugu Yan endured gradually decreased, and the pain from the Si Shui Water God's Godhood entering her body began to lessen.
Two hours later, Dugu Yan suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of stars, and there was a faint mist and cold light rolling out from her body, which condensed into a layer of crystal water droplets on the surface of her skin, as if countless bubbles were rising and falling on her skin.
At this moment, her appearance was exceptionally beautiful. If she were to add a touch of delicate charm, she truly possessed the air of a "person made of water"! Jun Yi watched from the side, somewhat mesmerized. Was this still Dugu Yan? He had never seen Dugu Yan so beautiful before. You see, while the previous Dugu Yan was also extremely beautiful, it was worlds apart from what she was now. After becoming a god, Dugu Yan had completely lost her previous allure and gained a touch of holiness, truly looking like a goddess.
As Dugu Yan sensed the power within her body, she felt as if her body had been reshaped, brimming with strength. She couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. Although she didn't know how much power this Godhood would grant her, she knew that from now on, she would also have the ability to protect herself.
"Congratulations, Sister Yanyan, you've also become a god now," Jun Yi said sincerely.
Upon hearing Jun Yi's words, Dugu Yan couldn't help but show a hint of joy on her face. " Little Brother Yi." She stood up and walked towards the exit of the hall. At this moment, she felt an irrepressible urge to express herself. Jun Yi did not stop her. He understood that Dugu Yan was venting her joy. He stood there quietly, watching Dugu Yan.
"With four First-Level God, plus the Ice Dragon King and the Light Dragon King, six First-Level God can be considered capable of protecting themselves when facing the Divine Realm. As long as the four God King don't descend to the mortal realm, the Divine Realm can't do anything to us at all," Jun Yi murmured to himself.
" Jun Yi, I want to tell Grandpa this news," Dugu Yan said, turning to look at Jun Yi.
"Alright, go ahead. He's in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace right now. Let Zhu Zhuqing accompany you." Jun Yi turned to Zhu Zhuqing and asked, "Is that alright, Zhu Zhuqing?"
"Yes, of course." Zhu Zhuqing nodded, stepped forward, took Dugu Yan's hand, and the two women flew away together.
Jun Yi watched the two women's departing figures and couldn't help but smile. Then he turned around and spoke with the two dragon kings in his inner world, "Seniors, you reminded me yesterday that I should go to the Star Dou Great Forest to find the Silver Dragon. Why is that?"
"From the fact that the Water God directly descended from his Godhood, we can infer that with the chaos in the Divine Realm just beginning, the gods' first thought is definitely how to protect themselves in this conflict. Their attention is certainly focused on the Divine Realm, and they won't notice us. Now is the best time to awaken the Silver Dragon King."
The Ice Dragon King explained to Jun Yi in a calm tone.
"Then let's set off now, but the Silver Dragon King is seriously injured, and I don't know how to heal. How can I save him?" Jun Yi voiced his doubts.
"Actually, you also possess healing abilities, you just haven't realized it yet," the Light Dragon King said.
"Senior Guangming, what do you mean by this?" Jun Yi, somewhat puzzled.
" The God of Death Godhood is the most special Godhood in the Divine Realm. It is born in the Divine Realm but transcends Divine Realm. It controls the most sinister death energy and the purest life energy in the Divine Realm. And this pure life energy is actually the best way to heal gods," the Ice Dragon King continued to explain.
"I see. Then let's go awaken the Silver Dragon King and heal her," Jun Yi said.
"However, the treatment is a long process, requiring at least nearly a year. In the past, this would have been nothing more than a moment for us, but now, Jun Yi, your time is precious. You must reach the level of God King before the internal strife in the Divine Realm is completely over, so that you will have the qualifications to negotiate with the Divine Realm," the Light Dragon King instructed.
Upon hearing this, Jun Yi fell into deep thought. The Light Dragon King was right; he didn't have much time left and couldn't spend a whole year healing the Silver Dragon King as he had before.
However, Jun Yi quickly came up with a solution. "Seniors, I will simply merge the God of Death Godhood with Di Tian and have him heal the Silver Dragon King. Even without my current Godhood position, I am no match for most First-Level God."
