Seeing the Blood Devil, who had wreaked havoc, actually enter Qi Ling's body again, everyone was shocked. Xiao Wu immediately went to Qi Ling and asked, " Brother Qi! Are you alright? Do you feel anything unusual?"
Qi Ling said, "This... I don't seem to feel anything special. I don't feel anything else unusual."
"That's natural. That thing was originally your own power. Now it's simply something that belongs to you. Now that it's back in your own body, how could you feel anything else?" the Dragon God said slowly.
Then, the Dragon God glanced around, and with a wave of his hand, a golden ripple spread from his body, enveloping everyone present. Those who had been attacked by the Blood Devil emitted a red mist, and then their bodies returned to normal, allowing them to move freely again.
Then the Dragon God appeared before the Dragon Maiden, Dragon Maiden was so excited she couldn't speak and looked like she was about to cry, "Master, is that you? You've finally appeared!"
"It's me, Dragon Maiden. You did a great job." The Dragon God said, shattering the Blood Devil's barrier with a wave of his hand and freeing the Dragon Maiden.
Then the Dragon God turned and walked towards Qi Ling, with the Dragon Maiden following behind him. In front of Qi Ling, the Dragon God stretched out his hand and placed it on his dragon horn again. This time, Qi Ling felt that his body seemed to have undergone some changes. His body, which was on the verge of collapse, gradually recovered.
Finally, Qi Ling was able to return to human form and return to his original state, but he felt that his body was completely empty, as if he had no Soul Power left.
"Don't worry, I used your Soul Power to heal your injuries, and you won't suffer any lasting effects," the Dragon God said. "Your Soul Power will naturally recover afterward."
After that, the Dragon God did not disappear immediately. Instead, he and Qi Ling went to the side, where a stone table had appeared out of nowhere. The Dragon Maiden poured tea for the two of them and then stepped aside.
Looking at the man before her, Qi Ling couldn't help but ask, "Are you the Dragon God?"
"Yes, I am the Dragon God," the Dragon God said.
"Then you are also my Martial Soul?" Qi Ling continued to ask.
"You could say that the power of your Divine Dragon Emperor Martial Soul does indeed come from me," the Dragon God said.
"But... what exactly are you?" Qi Ling asked, utterly puzzled.
"Answering your question would be very complicated, but I can tell you the answer," the Dragon God said. "I am you."
"You are me?" Qi Ling exclaimed in surprise. "But you are clearly you, and I am clearly me. How could you possibly be me? And if you are me, then who am I?"
Qi Ling's words had almost confused him, but fortunately, the Dragon God understood him perfectly and laughed, "Hehe, it's normal for you to have such questions. I think anyone in this situation would have the same doubts as you."
"But this is indeed an indisputable fact. I am you, and not only that, the Blood Devil who just appeared, he is actually you as well," the Dragon God said.
Qi Ling was now even more confused. He said with a strange expression, "Wh-what do you mean? Wait a minute, did I hear that right? Blood Devil is me too? What am I?"
"Hahaha, you are you! You are Qi Ling!" the Dragon God laughed loudly. "Look, I've told you everything, but you still can't understand. I've only told you the facts, and you're already so confused."
"It's impossible not to be confused. I'm not even sure if I'm still myself," Qi Ling said helplessly. "Tell me in detail what I am! If I don't understand this, I'm afraid I'll never have peace of mind."
The Dragon God thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I trust your comprehension. You should be able to understand these things, after all, you are me."
"You must have learned some things from the Dragon Maiden, including the birth of the Divine Realm and what I did in the past," the Dragon God said. "Then do you know what the Blood Devil is?"
Qi Ling shook her head and honestly said, "I don't know, but I seem to know that he's your nemesis."
"Yes, that's right. We are sworn enemies, and we've been enemies since the moment he was born," the Dragon God said.
"After my friend and I created the Divine Realm, it gathered Divine Realm Divine Power from all worlds, forming that special world that maintains the balance of all worlds."
"But what I didn't know was that along with the creation of the Divine Realm, another similar world was also born! That world was called the Devil Realm."
" The Devil Realm?" Qi Ling was taken aback, feeling as if she had once again heard a truth about a world she had never known before.
"Yes, it is the Devil Realm," the Dragon God said. "Just like the relationship between light and darkness, the two are always intertwined, and the Devil Realm was born alongside the Divine Realm."
"However, the difference between the two is that the Divine Realm gathers the power of belief from various worlds, which can also be said to be the sum of the purest power from all worlds."
" The Devil Realm, on the other hand, is the sum of resentment from all worlds and various evil forces; it can be said to be a world that has been accompanied by misfortune since its inception."
"Huh? But wait a minute, Dragon God, I seem to remember that in the Divine Realm, there are also many gods who represent negativity. What's the deal with them?" Qi Ling asked. "If the Divine Realm is formed from the convergence of light power, why would such Godhood exist?"
The Dragon God laughed and said, "It seems you know quite a bit about the Divine Realm. That's right, in the Divine Realm, there are also opposing forces such as good and evil, destruction and rebirth, original sin and virtue. But Qi Ling, you need to understand one thing: why do you think they are evil beings?"
"Huh? This..." Qi Ling was stunned by the Dragon God's question. Indeed, why did she think they were evil? These things were all perfectly reasonable beings; without them, the world wouldn't function properly either. So why define them as "evil"?
Birth, aging, sickness, and death, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness—these are all part of human nature, perfectly normal in this world. No one can be considered to have a complete life if they lack any one of them. So, is someone who only ever experiences happiness truly the happiest person in the world?
"These so-called good and evil are merely definitions that humans assign to them based on their own likes and dislikes, but all of this is perfectly normal," the Dragon God said. "And the Divine Realm is a place that can contain such beings."
