This human being before me truly has the potential to become a god!
"Sister Huo, now you know why I agreed, right?"
"Hmph..." The Fire Dragon King snorted lightly, offering no response, but instead turned to look at Lin Chuan, "Human, why should I believe you will keep your promise?"
Lin Chuan smiled and shrugged. "I can't make you believe me. Trust is a two-way street. Just like you don't trust me, I can't completely trust you either."
The Douluo Continent also has things like possession.
Just like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the original novel, who was killed by Tang San, but whose soul was hidden in the soul bone, he reappeared when Tang San inherited the Sea God's position, intending to seize the Sea God's position.
Then there was the Demon Queen, the wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, whose body was also possessed and controlled by the Abyss Saint King.
Although it is almost impossible for the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King to possess Lin Chuan with their remaining power, it does not mean that such a situation is impossible.
"Then what else is there to say?"
The Fire Dragon King immediately sneered.
"So before that, I'll have to trouble you to swear an oath in the name of the Dragon God." Lin Chuan smiled and narrowed his eyes.
Upon hearing this, the Fire Dragon King was instantly enraged.
"Human, you are blaspheming the Dragon God!"
Lin Chuan shook his head dismissively, "This is just a layer of insurance. Besides, the so-called oath can't bind you. If you abide by it, then there will naturally be no trouble."
Of course, it's not that it has absolutely no effect.
After all, there are inner demons in the Soul Master system.
"Alright, I agree!" the Water Dragon King suddenly said softly.
"Little Water!" the Fire Dragon King exclaimed, and suddenly a large number of flames appeared in the void.
The Water Dragon King gently shook his head, his expression calm. "Sister Fire, this may be our last chance. Both the dragon race and other beasts need our return."
Upon hearing this, the Fire Dragon King was instantly speechless.
After a moment, it raised its head again. "I can agree, but he must swear an oath!"
Lin Chuan immediately sneered, "Please get your facts straight. You're the ones asking me for a favor, so you have no right to bargain with me. Even without your spirit rings, I can become a god on my own."
"You!" The Fire Dragon King was furious once again.
On the contrary, the Water Dragon King asked almost without hesitation, "Human, what is your name?"
"Linchuan!"
"I, the Water Dragon King, swear in the name of the Dragon God and the Dragon Clan that I will sacrifice myself today for Lin Chuan's soul ring, in order to be resurrected after he becomes a god. I will then serve him for a thousand years, and will never betray him within those thousand years. If I break this oath, may my soul and spirit be annihilated!"
A deep, resounding dragon roar echoed throughout the entire mountain forest.
Lin Chuan wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt as if the space itself had trembled.
"Very good, it's your turn!"
Lin Chuan smiled and looked at the Fire Dragon King.
The Fire Dragon King glared fiercely at Lin Chuan, his eyes filled with warning, "Human, you'd better keep your promise, otherwise I will not rest until we perish together!"
"I, the Fire Dragon King, swear in the name of the Dragon God and the Dragon Clan that I will sacrifice myself today to become Lin Chuan's soul ring, in order to be resurrected after he becomes a god. I will then serve him for a thousand years, and will never betray him within those thousand years. If I break this oath, may my soul and spirit be destroyed!"
As the last word fell, Lin Chuan's smile became even brighter.
"That's good. Don't worry, I will never break my promise. I will resurrect you after we reach the God Realm."
"As for now... Fire Dragon King, you'll just have to bear with this for a while longer!"
Without giving the Fire Dragon King time to react, Lin Chuan waved his hand and sucked the red pill into his palm, then threw it directly into the Azure Pattern Cauldron.
With a thought, the Azure-Patterned Cauldron shrank and flew into the space between his eyebrows.
The Fire Dragon King has a rather volatile temper, and Lin Chuan doesn't want such a grumpy little sister in his spirit ring, constantly arguing with him. So it's better to let the Water Dragon King become a spirit ring first.
"Then let's begin!"
The Water Dragon King nodded slightly. "I can provide you with a million-year soul ring. Do you have any specific requirements regarding soul skills?"
"Customization is available?!"
Lin Chuan was somewhat surprised.
The Water Dragon King nodded again, "Don't underestimate the God King. Even though I'm only a tenth of my former strength, I can still transform the abilities I once possessed into soul skills."
At this point, the Water Dragon King couldn't help but feel a little smug.
Even if she is the weakest of the nine Dragon Kings, she is still a God King!
"No need for soul skills!"
Lin Chuan simply shook his head.
He doesn't need so many fancy soul skills; comprehending the profound power and applying it in battle is the path he wants to take!
"No soul skills?!" The Water Dragon King clearly hadn't expected this.
“That’s right!” Lin Chuan nodded slightly, then suddenly had an idea and couldn’t help but ask, “Can you increase my speed of comprehending the power of water elements?”
"If you inherit my divine position, you will naturally gain all my insights into the power of the water element. Unfortunately, I can sense that this world suppresses beasts from becoming gods, and consequently, my divine position cannot be inherited."
"So it's hopeless?" Lin Chuan couldn't help but feel disappointed.
To everyone's surprise, the Water Dragon King suddenly shook his head. "Not at all. Although you cannot inherit my divine position, I can imbue my most powerful divine skill into your soul ring, which contains all my understanding of the power of the water element. As for whether you can gain anything from it, that depends on yourself!"
"However, the divine skill is too powerful. Even if it is given to a million-year soul ring, it can only contain one of its skills."
"No problem, we'll do it your way!"
Lin Chuan agreed without any hesitation.
His fancy soul skills are useless; no matter how strong they are, they can't possibly be stronger than his self-created water and fire series of moves. He might as well use them to comprehend the mysteries of the universe.
However, Lin Chuan also understood why the gods in the divine realm could so confidently pass on their divine positions without worrying about the power of the divine realm being weakened.
It turns out that inheriting a divine position not only allows one to become a god, but also grants access to the insights of past gods regarding the power of heaven and earth.
No wonder Tang San performed poorly during the battle of the three gods in the original novel, yet he was able to grow into a first-level god and even a god king in just over twenty years in the God Realm.
Of course, this is not without its drawbacks.
After inheriting a godhood, one can indeed become stronger in a very short time by relying on the insights from past generations contained within the godhood, but that is, after all, someone else's thing.
Spiritual practice is a very private matter.
You can learn from others' strengths and apply them to yourself, but if you completely follow in their footsteps and take the same path, your potential will inevitably be limited.
Therefore, Lin Chuan will only learn from the Water Dragon King's understanding of the power of heaven and earth, and will never accept it entirely.
"Alright, since you've made your decision, I won't try to persuade you any further. However, although I am the Water Dragon King, I am more skilled in using the ice element within the water element's power. Are you really sure about this?"
Lin Chuan nodded again, "Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"
"Get ready, I'm about to begin!"
The Water Dragon King said no more.
Chapter 190 Breakthrough, Level 96!
"bring it on!"
Lin Chuan nodded slightly.
The next moment, the Water Dragon King's dragon soul instantly flew back into its original name, the Pill Pearl.
A dazzling light burst forth, transforming into a stream of light that flew toward Lin Chuan's forehead.
Just as they were about to touch, it actually passed right through the skin and entered the sea of consciousness.
Immediately afterwards, a blue halo enveloped Lin Chuan, and a surge of powerful soul energy rushed out, transforming into thick fog that entered his body.
A spirit ring also quietly appeared behind Lin Chuan.
As energy surged in, ice crystals appeared on Lin Chuan's body.
Extreme cold swept through, and the surroundings were instantly frozen into a sea of ice and snow.
Lin Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground, letting the chill seep into his body without feeling any discomfort. He silently suppressed the energy within his body and absorbed and refined it.
[You have engaged in a serious meditation session and gained some insights. Your physical strength has slightly improved, your soul power has greatly increased, your proficiency in the Heavenly Water Meditation Technique has increased, and your proficiency in the Guiding Technique 'Ninefold Chaotic Origin' has increased.]
"Boom..."
A soft sound reached his ears, and Lin Chuan successfully broke through the level 90 bottleneck.
Not only that, his physical attributes were also steadily increasing, and that chilling blue energy was rapidly spreading through his meridians, muscles, blood, and bones.
Even the energy of the Dark Demon God Tiger could not compare.
"Humans are truly terrifying!"
Within Lin Chuan's spiritual sea.
