The Dragon God's words had a tremendous impact on Qi Ling. After pondering for a while, Qi Ling asked, "Then, what is the Devil Realm? Is its existence necessary?"
"Of course it's necessary. What exists in the Devil Realm is the purest evil from all worlds," the Dragon God said. " The Divine Realm cannot exist without the Devil Realm, and the Devil Realm cannot exist without the Divine Realm. Neither can exist independently; they are like two sides of the same coin."
"However, even the purest evil is not the only evil in the Devil Realm, because even in the darkest place, there is always light," the Dragon God said.
Qi Ling frowned and said, "This... is too complicated, isn't it? Dragon God, you said that good and evil exist in the Divine Realm, and good and evil also exist in the Devil Realm, so what is the difference between them?"
"The relationships involved are beyond your current comprehension. Simply put, the Divine Realm and Devil Realm are each small Samsara, but the relationship between them constitutes a grand Samsara! All these worlds, all existence, are able to maintain balance precisely because of these Samsara," the Dragon God said.
Qi Ling listened to the Dragon God's words and couldn't help but feel helpless. No matter how hard she listened, she could only understand the most superficial meaning. She could only understand what the Dragon God said and couldn't grasp the underlying principles.
"Alright, I give up." Qi Ling said helplessly, "This is definitely not something I can understand right now! Can you tell me, what's the Blood Devil all about? He must be from the Devil Realm, right?"
The Dragon God laughed and said, "That's right, he is indeed from the Devil Realm, or more accurately, the Lord of the Devil Realm. He is an existence that appeared after the birth of the Devil Realm, but I am not entirely clear about how he came to be."
"Wow, that's amazing!" Qi Ling exclaimed in surprise. "I didn't expect him to actually have such a powerful background."
The Dragon God nodded and said, "After the birth of the Divine Realm, I ruled it for a long time, and the Blood Devil Divine Realm similar to me; he has always controlled the Devil Realm."
"So what happened next? How did you end up here?" Qi Ling asked. "Or to put it more bluntly, what exactly is your relationship with me?"
"I've said this more than once: we are you, and we are all you!" the Dragon God said. "Of course, there's a reason for that."
"An unknown period after the birth of the Divine Realm and Devil Realm, a tremendous calamity struck," the Dragon God said. "It was a calamity beyond human control, not even by the gods. If it were allowed to continue, the Divine Realm and Devil Realm, along with all other worlds, would face only one possibility: destruction."
Qi Ling pondered, "So, could it be that you and the Blood Devil...?"
"That's right. The only way to stop that disaster is to sacrifice myself and use all my power," the Dragon God said. "However, I alone am not enough. My power is great, but without a power that is the opposite, the one that creates the Samsara, it won't work."
"Oh, so when the Blood Devil said you tricked him, he meant this?" Qi Ling exclaimed in sudden realization, "You took him down with you to save the world?"
The Dragon God laughed, "You could say that. Ever since that guy discovered my existence, all he's thought about is how to defeat me. He's been invincible in the Devil Realm for a long time, so finding a suitable opponent is the most important thing for him."
"May I ask, in your battles, who won more often?" Qi Ling asked curiously.
"Between him and me, Douluo I, big and small," the Dragon God laughed. "My record is 17,680 wins and one loss."
"Uh..." Qi Ling was speechless. This Blood Devil was exaggerating beyond belief! He said he and the Dragon God were sworn enemies, and Qi Ling thought they were evenly matched. It turned out he was getting completely thrashed!
"This guy, he's such a braggart, I didn't expect him to be so incompetent!" Qi Ling said.
The Dragon God laughed and said, "No, apart from me, he is indeed the strongest. No one in the Divine Realm is his match. Moreover, the only battle I ever lost in my life was thanks to him. That is enough to prove his strength."
Qi Ling looked at the Dragon God with a strange expression. Good heavens, beating you once is enough to make me proud. You must be Grandmaster of Versailles literature, right? If it weren't for the Dragon God's serious expression, Qi Ling definitely wouldn't have believed it.
These two are the strongest in their respective worlds, and even in the opposite world, only the other can rival them; they truly are sworn enemies.
As for Blood Devil Demon, he had lost over 17,000 times and was still alive, which showed Qi Ling just how tenacious his vitality was. No wonder he had once proudly boasted about how much he could take a beating.
"And then what? Did you prevent that disaster?" Qi Ling asked.
The Dragon God said, "Of course we stopped it. After I plotted against the Blood Devil and together we stopped this disaster, our existence disappeared from this world. We shouldn't have existed in the first place."
"But coincidentally, in the process of stopping this disaster, we gained a new power, or rather, we comprehended a new law!" the Dragon God said.
"Law? What is that?" Qi Ling asked doubtfully.
The Dragon God looked at Qi Ling and said, "To put it in terms you can understand, it's like you've come to understand a higher level of existence and grasped their rules. It's like you, as three-dimensional beings, suddenly comprehended the laws of four-dimensional beings, which would have a tremendous impact on you!"
"Under the intervention of these laws, my existence and the Blood Devil's existence themselves underwent a special change," the Dragon God continued. "I can't explain exactly what that change was, but in short, under the intervention of those higher laws, my soul and the Blood Devil's soul were preserved and merged into one, creating a new soul, a completely new, independently existing individual!"
"And that individual is you!" The Dragon God looked at Qi Ling and said with unwavering determination.
"Me? How could that be? Hahaha, Dragon God, you must be joking! I remember clearly, I'm a transmigrator, not from this world!" Qi Ling exclaimed. "How could someone like me be some kind of soul created through fusion?"
But seeing Qi Ling's incredulous expression, the Dragon God couldn't help but laugh and said, " Qi Ling, I've already told you, I am you, how could I be wrong?"
"If we consider the existence encompassing all these worlds as a single universe, then you simply went to another universe and lived a certain life there before, and after the journey, you've returned here."
"You are now the real you, the one you should be! You are the reincarnation of the Dragon God, the reincarnation of the Blood Devil, and the only you, Qi Ling!" the Dragon God said.
"But, but I still have..." Qi Ling wanted to say, she still had the power of the system, so how could she explain the Dragon God?
"You mean the system?" The Dragon God chuckled. "Perhaps you've already sensed it? That Blood Devil guy seemed to have given you a hint before."
"What do you mean?" Qi Ling asked, a bad feeling rising in her heart.
The Dragon God looked at Qi Ling, but remained smiling and silent. Just then, the unique voice of the system suddenly rang in Qi Ling's mind again.
