"What is this? It's actually quite pretty."
Just as Lin Mo was engrossed in looking at the tattoo on his arm, a head peeked out from the side.
Snow Empress leaned closer, her long, silvery-white hair almost reaching Lin Mo's arm. "What's this? A tattoo? When did you get it?"
Lin Mo rolled her eyes at her and pushed her head aside.
Snow Empress stumbled from his push and glared at Lin Mo with displeasure.
Why did you push me?!
Lin Mo withdrew his hand, his tone indifferent. "Have you been having too much free time lately?"
"Or should I speak to the Ice Empress of this world and have her take you over to continue your duties as the Lord of the Far North?"
Upon hearing this, Snow Empress's delicate face immediately turned sour, and she waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "I don't want to."
Although the Snow Empress did not mind fulfilling her duties as the Lord of the Far North.
But now he has the opportunity to extricate himself from this responsibility, and the Far North will not fall into turmoil because of his departure.
How could she possibly miss such a great opportunity?
Moreover, if she were to actually stay in the Far North, putting everything else aside, Bing'er's increasingly unrestrained gaze alone would be enough to give her a hard time.
She shook her head, banishing these chaotic thoughts, and took two steps back, creating distance between herself and Lin Mo.
Her expression changed slightly. "So what are these tattoos? Did you just get them done to look cool?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo shook his head. "Showing off? What's so cool about that?"
"This is the dragon soul, the dragon soul left behind by the former Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King."
Snow Empress blinked, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Dragon Soul?"
Lin Mo did not answer immediately, but instead pointed to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in front of him.
The two springs, one red and one white, are clearly distinct.
Two diametrically opposed forces converge here, yet maintain a delicate balance.
"See these springs with completely opposite properties? They are Blazing Hot Yang Spring and Extreme Cold Yin Spring, respectively."
"Beneath the springs of these two pools lie the remains of two legendary God Level kings of the dragon race: the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King."
Snow Empress's eyes widened suddenly.
God Level Dragon King?
Lin Mo ignored her reaction and continued talking to himself.
"They were all God Level powerhouses in their lifetimes, and not just ordinary God Level. Many years ago, for some reason, they perished."
Their bodies, however, ended up on the Douluo Continent. After countless years of development, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was finally created.
"It's fair to say that Charizard was able to become a god thanks to the Fire Dragon King. Otherwise, if Charizard and I had relied solely on our own strength to absorb the Power of Faith and become gods, who knows how long it would have taken."
"And these two immortal dragon souls are their final remnants."
"Wait, Dragon Soul?"
Snow Empress interrupted Lin Mo: "The fact that dragon souls were left behind means they aren't completely dead yet?"
"Are the Life of gods so powerful?"
Lin Mo shook his head, denying it decisively. "No, he's completely dead!"
"Even those who were once just one step away from becoming God King have completely perished."
"It was only because their strength in life was too great, coupled with their lingering obsession, that new souls were born on their corpses."
"Two dragon souls that can be considered immortal."
"However, this dragon soul cannot be equated with them, because this dragon soul has no intelligence whatsoever; its actions are all based on instinct."
"If it weren't me and the Charizard appearing here, but another Soul Beast with pure dragon blood, they would probably turn around and attach themselves to him without hesitation."
Let alone the two newly born dragon souls born from the corpses of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, even the newly born dragon souls born from the dragon corpses in the Dragon Valley Small World do not contain any beings with consciousness.
It remains a remnant soul acting solely on instinct.
There, the Dragon God soul still provide protection, and no dragon soul has retained its complete consciousness.
Not to mention the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings unfortunately ended up stranded on the Douluo Continent.
Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
These two dragon souls, which exist on his body in the form of dragon tattoos, are not a single entity.
Instead, it's like the two Imperial Flame that Charizard fused together, a combination of two.
Regardless of the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the dragon soul within is always incomplete and fragmented.
However, it is precisely because they are incomplete and devoid of any intelligence that they were able to successfully complete the fusion.
Within the newly formed, complete dragon soul, there is the possibility of a new will of its own being being born.
It is precisely because Lin Mo is the one who led the integration that they choose to depend on Lin Mo for survival.
After the two were combined, their strength was no longer limited to the original Quasi-God level.
Under the amplification effect of the same origin, they reached true God Level.
However, having lost their respective Godhood positions, their level is probably only at that of a normal priest.
As for the extent to which they can recover in the future, that depends on their circumstances.
The young girl, Snow Empress, subconsciously clenched her fists, feeling the greatly increased power within her body.
"Indeed, only such a divine opportunity could allow my strength to advance further."
As the saying goes, "When one person rises to power, even their chickens and dogs benefit."
After being forced to merge with Lin Mo, she and Lin Mo could be considered as one.
She later used the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow to reshape her body.
Taking this opportunity, she not only condensed her own Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores, but also silently passed through the seventh Heavenly Tribulation.
The improvement is considerable.
But this improvement is far from comparable to the last one.
Moreover, in terms of the magnitude of her improvement, it far surpasses that of Lin Mo, the main character.
Based on the simplest and most intuitive judgment, even Far North, she now has the confidence to challenge Di Tian.
Thinking of this, Snow Empress couldn't help but look at herself again, an unprecedented look of helplessness appearing on her delicate face.
Why am I still so petite even after my strength has increased?
Will I never grow up?
This greatly frustrated Snow Empress.
Before long, the young Snow Empress composed herself and once again surveyed the surrounding area, which could be described as the creation of heaven and earth— the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"If I hadn't come here with you, I would never have imagined that such a treasure trove existed on the Douluo Continent."
"And in my nearly seven hundred thousand years of experience, I was completely unaware of this."
She lived for nearly 700,000 years.
Over the past 700,000 years, she has traveled to every corner of the Far North and has also left the Far North to visit many places on the Douluo Continent.
But she had never heard of the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, let alone knew that the remains of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King were buried there.
If only I had found the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Cavern that Tian Meng occupied years ago, or one of the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Cavern that Lin Mo found.
If I were to return here and find the legacy left behind by the Ice Dragon King, I might be able to glimpse the realm of the gods.
Lin Mo stood aside, watching the changing expressions on Snow Empress's face, his own face full of mockery.
"If you come here, even if Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow in advance, your cultivation will have already passed the seventh, eighth, or even the ninth Heavenly Tribulation before you come here!"
But you have absolutely no chance of ascending to the Divine Realm and becoming a god through the legacy left behind by the Ice Dragon King!
"Why?"
Snow Empress suddenly raised her head, her icy blue eyes filled with confusion.
On what grounds?
Why can't she?
If she can inherit the Ice Dragon King's legacy, why can't she use it to become a god?
Snow Empress grew angrier the more she thought about it, "Is it all because of that rule you told me about last time?"
"But hasn't something unexpected already happened?"
"Isn't the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm the first Hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent?"
"If it can achieve a cultivation level of a million years by relying on the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, eating and sleeping all the time, why can't I?"
She, the Snow Empress, is she really less than an insect?
Lin Mo looked at Snow Empress's agitated state with a strange expression.
You may have misunderstood something.
"If you really have the chance to come here, you might be able to improve your strength through this opportunity."
With the help of some of the legacy left behind by the Ice Dragon King, his cultivation broke through to the seventh, eighth, and even ninth Heavenly Tribulation!
Even without Di Tian using the Dragon God Claw, it's not impossible for you to defeat him.
At this point, Lin Mo paused deliberately, his expression serious, and said, "But no matter what resources you have, you have absolutely no chance of becoming a god on your own."
"As for the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, it is indeed a million-year-old cultivator."
But that guy was lucky; it never encountered a single Heavenly Tribulation.
"As for the crucial tenth Heavenly Tribulation, let alone you, even Di Tian wouldn't be able to survive it!"
Upon hearing this, both the young Snow Empress and the Snow Empress fell silent.
After a long while, the young Snow Empress finally broke her silence.
She suddenly raised her head, her delicate face filled with resentment.
She gritted her teeth and said, each word distinct. "Heaven is unjust, the Divine Realm will not tolerate us!"
"Why are you treating us Soul Beast like this? Is it just because this Divine Realm is your human Divine Realm?"
In her view, humans and Soul Beast are two extremes.
Human lifespan is short, only a hundred years.
Yet they were able to start from scratch and raise their cultivation to a level comparable to hers in just over a hundred years.
Some with exceptional fortune can even escape this realm, ascend to the Divine Realm, and achieve eternal life.
But what about Soul Beast?
Soul Beast cultivate extremely slowly, and they need to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation every 100,000 years in order to continue living.
Even so, the Divine Realm still did not let them go!
According to the information Lin Mo just revealed, even if a Soul Beast is lucky enough to survive the ninth Heavenly Tribulation, it will definitely perish under the tenth Heavenly Tribulation.
Why are only they, the Soul Beast, subjected to such prejudice?!
Thinking of this, the young girl Snow Empress lightly bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, and faint traces of blood seeped out.
Lin Mo sighed as he looked at Snow Empress's appearance.
" Soul Beast cannot become gods; this rule has nothing to do with humans. This is not a restriction imposed on you by human deities."
"If it's not human, is it some kind of divine beast?" Snow Empress sneered.
"That's right, the first Dragon God established this rule before his death." Lin Mo's voice was very calm.
The First Dragon God?
The young Snow Empress and the mature Snow Empress simultaneously raised their heads, their almost identical faces filled with shock.
Lin Mo ignored their shock and continued speaking.
"Not to mention you, even Di Tian, who is a member of the same dragon race as the Dragon God, cannot overcome this."
Otherwise, given the foundation of the Di Tian -Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, he would have become a god two or three hundred thousand years ago.
The Xiao Xue Emperors looked at each other in bewilderment.
This was the first time Lin Mo had revealed to them the secrets related to why Soul Beast could not become gods.
Before this, they could never have imagined that the main reason why Soul Beast could not become gods was not because of human prejudice, but because of the Dragon God.
It was the god that the Soul Beast themselves worshipped who personally sealed off Soul Beast path forward.
Thinking of this, a look of almost laughing in anger immediately appeared on the face of the young girl Snow Empress.
Is the Dragon God really alright?
"Is it really for the sake of the Soul Beast and the dragon race? Has it considered the consequences of this order?"
The more the young Snow Empress spoke, the more absurd it seemed.
Hearing this, Lin Mo shrugged.
In Lin Mo's view, the Dragon God's mind had long since gone mad.
Even if the usually "wise" Silver Dragon King were to make the decision, she would never do something so self-destructive.
If he and Charizard truly improve their strength to the point where they can return home.
His strength probably Transcendence that of the first Dragon God.
Changing the rule that Soul Beast cannot become gods would be just a matter of convenience for him and the Charizard.
He received so many benefits from the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings; he deserves some reward.
Soon, the Snow Empress in her mature, older sister form broke the silence.
She moved gracefully and slowly walked to Lin Mo's side.
Now that you've successfully taken the greatest treasure from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, what are your plans next?
Lin Mo smiled and said, "Let's go to the Star Dou Great Forest. I'd like to visit the Star Dou Great Forest next."
"Is it for that Golden Hawksbill Turtle?"
I guess so.
Lin Mo added, " The Golden Hawksbill Turtle is only part of the reason; I have other important matters to attend to in the Star Dou Great Forest."
Nearby, Charizard, which had been circling in the air, immediately reacted upon hearing the words " Golden Hawksbill Turtle ".
It folded its wings and fell from the sky, its dragon eyes gleaming with excitement.
He opened his mouth wide, and saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth, forming a shiny thread that fell to the ground.
It has been craving the flesh of the Golden Hawksbill Turtle for a long time.
Seeing Charizard's appearance, Lin Mo shook his head.
Even though Charizard has become a god, it's still as gluttonous as ever.
Lin Mo withdrew his gaze and looked towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
In any case, the Star Dou Great Forest is one of the must-visit destinations on this trip.
Even the slightest improvement is something he absolutely cannot miss!
Lin Mo withdrew his gaze and waved his hand.
In just a few breaths, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well returned to normal.
After doing all this, Lin Mo flipped over and leaped onto the Charizard.
The mature and elegant Snow Empress and the young Snow Empress also leaped onto the dragon's back one after the other, sitting on Lin Mo's left and right sides.
Let's go.
Lin Mo patted the Charizard's neck.
The Charizard raised its head and let out a high-pitched roar. Its wings suddenly spread out, and it soared into the air, speeding towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
