Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 65 Planes, Divinity

In appearance, Ying Qian's changes were even more astonishing. His figure became taller and stronger, like an ancient god of war. When his wings were spread out, they covered the sky like a canopy, and the wing membranes were shining with colorful light, dazzling and fascinating. His scales radiated a dazzling brilliance in the sun, and each one was like a finely crafted work of art, indestructible.

At this moment, Ying Qian felt unprecedented power and responsibility. He knew that the Dragon God's inheritance not only gave him unparalleled power, but also gave him the mission of protecting the dragon clan and soul beasts. His heart was filled with firm belief and determination. This power would lead him to a higher peak and shoulder the heavy responsibility given by the Dragon God.

The dragon souls in the Dragon Valley felt this incomparable power and looked up at Ying Qian, their hearts filled with awe and admiration. Ying Qian's sacred aura not only shocked the dragon clan, but also gave them hope and the future. Zi Ji witnessed all this and was deeply moved. She knew that the Ying Qian in front of her was no longer just Ying Qian, but the true successor of the Dragon God's heritage and the hope of the dragon clan's future.

Ying Qian walked slowly towards the edge of the Dragon Valley, each of his steps was full of strength and determination, and the colorful light behind him dragged out a long radiance. He stood at the height of the Dragon Valley, overlooking the dragon souls of the entire dragon clan, and his heart was filled with endless responsibilities and missions. He knew that the inheritance of the Dragon God was not only a symbol of strength, but also a symbol of responsibility and protection. In the name of the Dragon God, he would protect the dragon clan and the soul beasts.

Ying Qian took a deep breath and slowly opened his arms. The entire Dragon Valley seemed to respond to his call, and colorful light quickly gathered around him. The air in the Dragon Valley was filled with sacred and majestic power, which was the power of the Dragon God's inheritance. Ying Qian's figure was like a towering mountain, standing at the highest point of the Dragon Valley, overlooking this ancient and mysterious land.

"In the name of the Dragon God, I will merge the Dragon Valley with myself," Ying Qian whispered, his voice full of unshakable determination. Then, his body burst into an even brighter light, and the colorful light spread out like ripples. The light seemed to have endless attraction, continuously absorbing the power of the entire Dragon Valley into Ying Qian's body.

The entire Dragon Valley began to shake, the earth cracked, boulders rolled, and the ancient dragon cloud slowly disappeared under the pull of this force. The dragon souls of the dragon clan watched all this quietly. They felt the call of the Dragon God's inheritance, without the slightest fear, but full of expectation and reverence.

Ying Qian's body continued to sublimate in this huge power. His silver scales sparkled with colorful brilliance, as dazzling as the stars in the sky. His eyes were like the deep universe, shining with endless wisdom and power. As the power of the Dragon Valley continued to be absorbed, Ying Qian's aura continued to grow, and the whole person seemed to have become a god, overlooking everything.

Gradually, the scene of Dragon Valley disappeared in the light, and the entire small world was absorbed by Ying Qian and converted into his own space. In his body, a new world was formed, which was the continuation of Dragon Valley and the embodiment of the power of Dragon God. Ying Qian felt the existence of the new space in his body, and he knew that this was not only an increase in strength, but also an increase in responsibility.

Ying Qian slowly gathered his arms, and the light behind him gradually faded, but his aura became more majestic. He looked down at the land he would protect, and his heart was filled with endless emotion and determination. His body merged with the power of Dragon Valley.

The current Dragon Valley is equivalent to Ying Qian's own plane, just like the half plane created by Huo Yuhao's teacher, the Holy Death God Alex - the Undead Plane. As the name suggests, there are many undead in the Undead Plane, and the creatures that die in it will survive in the form of undead, the most obvious of which is the Ice Bear King Xiaobai. However, this plane is not comprehensive and its strength is not strong, but this plane belongs to Huo Yuhao personally, so Huo Yuhao can open it anytime and anywhere. This is the greatest use of the Undead Half Plane.

The Dragon Valley is similar to the Undead Demiplane, but it is much more powerful than Huo Yuhao's Undead Demiplane. The Dragon Valley was originally opened up by the Dragon God before he was on the verge of death. It not only contains the power of the Dragon God, but also condenses the power of all the dragons in ancient times. These powers are inexhaustible. They will continue to nourish Ying Qian's body until Ying Qian becomes a true Dragon God.

Moreover, Dragon Valley can also be like the undead demiplane, and creatures that enter Dragon Valley can survive in the form of souls, just like those dragon souls.

The light dissipated, and the appearance of the mountain top once again appeared in front of Ying Qian.

Zi Ji stared at Ying Qian blankly. She didn't know what happened. But she knew Ying Qian was no longer the same Ying Qian as before. Zi Ji didn't even dare to look into Ying Qian's eyes now. It was a bloodline suppression. In front of Ying Qian, Zi Ji only had endless submission and respect in her heart.

Zi Ji opened her mouth, wanting to continue calling Ying Qian's name as before, but she paused for a long time before slowly saying, "Master!"

Lord! This was the honorific title that the dragon clan used to call the Dragon God. The nine dragon kings recognized the Dragon God as their father, and the rest of the dragon clan, including all soul beasts, recognized the Dragon God as the common master of soul beasts. The former Lord was now used by Zi Ji to address Ying Qian.

Hearing Zi Ji's voice, Ying Qian came back to his senses from his memories. He smiled helplessly: "Sister Zi, there's no need to be so distant. I still like you to call me brother."

A complex emotion flashed in Zi Ji's eyes. She took a deep breath and said softly, "My Lord, you are not only my brother now, but also the hope of the dragon race and the future of soul beasts. I can no longer look at you with the same eyes as before."

Ying Qian's expression suddenly became solemn. He understood the weight and sincerity of Zi Ji's words. The sister he had always respected was now talking to him in a new capacity. Ying Qian felt a sense of responsibility and mission. He knew that he had to shoulder this burden and protect the future of the dragon race and soul beasts.

"Sister Zi, no matter what, you will always be my sister in my heart." Ying Qian said solemnly, his eyes firm and deep, "But I will also remember this responsibility, protect our tribe, and let the glory of the Dragon God shine on this land again."

Zi Ji heard this and smiled with relief. She nodded slightly, and the respect in her eyes became stronger: "Master, the dragon clan and soul beasts will always follow your footsteps. May you lead us to new glory."

Ying Qian nodded, "Let's go! We've been here for so long, it's time to go home."

Going home, of course, means going back to the Xingdou Great Forest. With such a big thing happening, Ying Qian must go back. Besides, he has been out for quite a while, and Ying Qian also misses everything in the Xingdou Great Forest.

His body began to grow rapidly, and in a flash, he turned into a colorful giant dragon that was a thousand meters tall. The wings behind him suddenly spread out, and with just a wave, Ying Qian took Zi Ji across thousands of miles. Looking down, the ocean under his feet was still so blue. The scales on Ying Qian's body were reflected on the sea surface, shining with colorful brilliance.

The passage of time in Dragon Valley is different from that in the outside world. During the trip to Dragon Valley, at least several years have passed in the outside world. Ying Qian didn't know what the current situation of Douluo Continent had become. Thinking of this, Ying Qian's speed instantly increased by several levels.

"Hmm?" Ying Qian's eyes narrowed and he uttered a doubtful sound.

"Master, what's wrong?" Zi Ji asked in time.

"Sister Zi, can you please stop calling me Master? I still can't accept such a title. It always feels weird to me." Ying Qian was a little speechless. "Ah? Then what should I call Master?" Zi Ji said anxiously.

"Just like before, just call me brother." Ying Qian said calmly.

"Is this okay?" Zi Ji asked hesitantly.

"What's wrong with that? Can't the Dragon God have his own brothers and sisters?" Ying Qian said disapprovingly.

Seeing that Ying Qian was still as close to her as before, Zi Ji couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "The Dragon God in the past really didn't have any brothers or sisters. The Dragon God was born in the universe, and he was the true darling of heaven and earth."

"But now I am the successor of the Dragon God, not the Dragon God of the past. So I am also a sister." Ying Qian said seriously.

Seeing Ying Qian's serious look, Zi Ji knew that she couldn't win over Ying Qian now, so she had to agree to Ying Qian's request, and then asked: "My brother, can you tell me now? What were you thinking about just now?"

"I just suddenly remembered that I still have a grudge to take!" Ying Qian said coldly.

"Hmm?" Before Zi Ji could react, Ying Qian dived into the deep sea, and his body of several thousand meters in length instantly caused a huge wave in the sea. The spread of the dragon's might frightened countless sea soul beasts.

Zi Ji didn’t know what the hatred that Ying Qian was talking about was, but she thought that with Ying Qian’s current strength, there was probably no creature on the Douluo Continent that could be Ying Qian’s opponent.

Not long after, the sea surface surged, and Ying Qian's dragon head was the first to surface. Following closely behind was Ying Qian's huge body. It was not until Ying Qian completely flew out of the sea that Zi Ji saw that there was a huge creature swimming rapidly in the deep sea behind Ying Qian. It was the Demon Soul Great White Shark, known as the Ocean Hunter, the most aggressive and ferocious sea soul beast.

This Demon Soul Great White Shark was surprisingly the same one that had stopped Ying Qian in the beginning. At this moment, his gem-like eyes revealed endless confusion.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark, the mount of the Sea God, is the best choice for the operation.

Ying Qian raised his head to the sky and let out a loud dragon roar, the sound rolled in like thunder, shaking the heaven and earth. Then, a colorful light shot out from between Ying Qian's dragon horns, and the colorful light was as sharp as a knife.

Zi Ji's heart sank. The Dragon Slashing Saber was a divine weapon, made by the Dragon God using his own horn. It was the Dragon Clan's magic sword, enforcing the Dragon Clan. All Dragon Clan members would be supervised and restrained by the Dragon Slashing Saber after making a mistake.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark was tumbling in the sea, stirring up huge waves, as if he also sensed the huge murderous intent contained in the Dragon Slashing Sword. The panic in his heart forced his body to tremble continuously. His huge body was like a moving mountain, and every time he swung his tail, it stirred up huge waves, with an imposing manner.

Ying Qian raised the Dragon Slaying Sword high, and the blade radiated a dazzling brilliance in the sun, like a rising sun, radiating light and illuminating the entire sea surface. He spread his wings and rushed towards the Demon Soul Great White Shark like a meteor in an instant, so fast that even the air was torn into ripples. The Demon Soul Great White Shark felt threatened and let out a thunderous roar, and its huge tail swept towards Ying Qian like a giant hammer.

Ying Qian's eyes flashed with cold light, and he turned nimbly, avoiding the great white shark's attack, and pointed the blade directly at its heart. In an instant, the Dragon Slaying Sword split the air, with unparalleled power, like a divine punishment, and fiercely slashed at the Demon Soul Great White Shark. The sword light was like a rainbow, instantly tearing through the great white shark's defense, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

The screams of the great white shark resounded through the sky, and the sea surface was dyed scarlet. Ying Qian landed steadily on the sea surface, with a cold smile in his eyes. He knew that this knife was not only a slash to the Demon Soul Great White Shark, but also a proof of his own strength. He slowly put away the Dragon Slaying Sword, his eyes were like lightning, scanning the calm sea surface, his heart filled with the joy of victory.

The first drop of blood was obtained. Ying Qian took a deep breath and felt the power in his body increase again.

[Congratulations to the host for killing the Sea God's mount, the 700,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark, and rewarding 5% of the divinity.]
"Huh?" Ying Qian was stunned. The system's reward had also changed?

"System, what does divinity mean?" Ying Qian asked in his heart.

[Ding, divinity refers to a mysterious power and quality that transcends the mundane. It usually represents supreme power, endless wisdom, and divine existence. Possessing divinity means that an individual possesses qualities and powers similar to those of gods, can transcend the limitations of ordinary life, and control the laws of heaven and earth.]
Ying Qian pondered for a moment, and gradually understood. Divinity is not only a symbol of strength, but also a lofty state and responsibility. People with divinity must not only have invincible strength, but also take on the responsibility of protection and leadership.

The system continued to explain: [Divinity also symbolizes purity and eternity. Anything that possesses divinity is a legend in itself. The Dragon God inheritance that the host has obtained contains this divinity, which not only allows you to inherit the power of the Dragon God, but also to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the dragon clan and soul beasts.]
"Does that mean that as long as I reach 100% divinity, I can truly inherit the throne of the Dragon God?" Ying Qian continued to ask.

[yes!]
The system's answer was simple, but it was enough to stir up a storm in Ying Qian's heart. Becoming a god, Ying Qian had never thought of such a thing ten thousand years ago, but now he has completed the first step?

Ying Qian even felt like he was dreaming, as if everything was not real.
