Listening to the voice in his ear, Wang Nan's thoughts uncontrollably turned to a strange matter.
Is the Dragon God male or female?
Wang Nan knew that the Divinities in this world had genders. The image of the previous Dragon God had always been male, and when Wang Nan had casually communicated with the Dragon God in Dragon Valley, he had also heard that the Dragon God once had a wife.
However, the Spirit Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest's Life Lake right now had a clear, cold female voice.
The "other half" of the Dragon God was actually female. Wang Nan couldn't help but wonder if there were some special "preferences" deep in the Dragon God's heart.
Just as Wang Nan was thinking some very "disrespectful" thoughts, that voice sounded again in his ear.
"The conflict between humans and Spirit Beasts has a long history, and it was the same in the God Realm."
"The so-called Divinity is actually the sublimation of life energy reaching a certain level. In fact, the original God Realm had no distinction between humans and Spirit Beasts, nor did it have various God Positions."
"At that time, whether human or beast, as long as their cultivation reached that level and they broke through their bottleneck, they could ascend to the God Realm and become a Divinity."
"Later, among the human Divinities, five God Kings emerged based on their strength. They established the God Realm Committee, ruling the God Realm and also supervising the Lower Realm."
"The human Divinities controlled the God Realm Central Hub and gradually began to oppress, and even enslave, other beast Divinities."
"It wasn't until the beast race could no longer suppress their anger that the Dragon God, in a fit of rage, led the beast race in a war in the God Realm."
"But in the end, the beast race still failed. The Dragon God was split in two by the Asura God, one of the five God Kings. I am one of those parts."
The more Wang Nan listened, the deeper his frown became.
The description from this voice in front of him was not the same as what he had heard in the Dragon Tomb. Logically speaking, the one speaking should be the "other half" of the Dragon God, and it should possess a part of the Dragon God's memories, but this was completely different from what he had heard in the Dragon Tomb.
"Do you have any doubts?" The owner of the voice seemed to notice the change in Wang Nan's expression, stopping her narration to ask.
"I do have a little. In the Dragon Tomb, I heard that the God Realm was created by the Dragon God, and that he also voluntarily allowed himself to be split in two by the Asura God."
"That's impossible!" The voice in Wang Nan's ear was a little agitated.
"You have entered the Dragon Tomb and seen the bones of my Dragon Clan. Heaven is unjust, and the God Realm is intolerant, which is why my Dragon Clan had no choice but to rise up in resistance. Otherwise, why would my Dragon Clan be in such a state?"
The surrounding mental force fluctuated slightly, and Di Tian, on the side, lowered his body. Even the Three-Eyed Golden Lion sensed something, slowly lowering its head and avoiding the lake in front of them.
Wang Nan listened to the agitated voice in his ear without speaking. He didn't know what had happened to cause such a huge discrepancy in the memories of these two "Dragon Gods," but there was no doubt that the Dragon God's mind must have been very chaotic at the time.
Otherwise, these two consciousnesses wouldn't have such problems. One consciousness attributed all the blame to the human Divinities, while the other, though attributing the fault to itself, was overly self-reproachful, even setting the absurd rule that Spirit Beasts could not become Divinities.
After a long while, the surroundings gradually calmed down.
"I apologize, I was rude. Please come again another day, I have some things I want to verify."
"If you're thinking of going to Dragon Valley, you don't need to wait for another day." Wang Nan untied the Dragon God's tear from his wrist. "This is a gift from the Dragon God in Dragon Valley. It can connect to Dragon Valley through mental force and communicate with the Dragon God's will."
"Thank you." After a moment of silence, the Spirit Beast in the lake slowly spoke.
Without any further movement, the drop-shaped crystal in Wang Nan's hand slowly floated up and descended into the Life Lake.
The surrounding mental force also converged, and the rich life aura once again came towards Wang Nan's chest. Di Tian then stood up straight, first glancing at Wang Nan, then fixing his gaze on the life blade still faintly glowing on his chest.
Wang Nan generously reached into his embrace and took out the life blade. "Senior Di Tian, do you know how to use this kind of thing?"
Although he had obtained the life blade some time ago, he could only enhance his Physique through the life aura it emitted and couldn't utilize it further. There was a considerable amount of life gold at the bottom of the Life Lake, and Wang Nan took this opportunity to ask if Di Tian had any means of using it.
Di Tian's gaze fell on Wang Nan's hand. After looking for a moment, he shook his head, "This carving knife of yours should be made of Life Crystal."
Life gold was a term Iliex brought from another world. Now, listening to Di Tian, it had a different name in this world.
"An incredibly vast amount of life force condenses together, and after tens of millions of years of gestation, such a crystal will appear. It's just that we cannot activate and utilize the power within it."
Wang Nan didn't have much hope when he spoke. If they truly had a way to use life gold, with the quantity in the Life Lake, they wouldn't have needed to imprison the Tianmeng Iceworm to absorb its life energy back then.
According to Iliex, even the Tianmeng Iceworm's million-year life force could only form a tear-sized drop of life gold.
However, Wang Nan had another suggestion, "If I can bring the method for using Life Crystal…"
Di Tian's eyes moved, and his golden eyes locked onto Wang Nan, "You know how to use Life Crystal?"
"Not yet, but I am confident I can find a way to use it."
"If you can bring the method for using Life Crystal, apart from the portion needed for the Lord's healing, you can take all the rest."
So generous?
Wang Nan looked at Di Tian with some surprise.
In fact, Di Tian had already thought a lot in an instant. Once the method for using Life Crystal was mastered, the immense life energy within it could be used to heal the Silver Dragon King's injuries. By then, with the Dragon God's return, their Spirit Beasts would have a chance to ascend to the God Realm.
Compared to that, a few Life Crystals really weren't much.
Wang Nan looked at the lake in front of him, also thinking about the life gold. He already knew the person who could fully unleash the power of life gold, but he didn't know if that person would be willing to tell him.
For a time, it was quiet by the Life Lake. Just as the few "people" were waiting for the Spirit Beast in the lake to reappear, Di Tian suddenly looked up, his golden eyes gazing into the lush forest.
"What's wrong?"
"You humans are here to capture Spirit Beasts again."
Wang Nan was speechless for a moment. Spirit Masters had to hunt Spirit Beasts to break through their cultivation. Even if Spirit Souls might appear in the future, the essence hadn't really changed.
However, very quickly, his eyes changed a little. The Evil Breaking Dragon in his mental sea suddenly became active. It seemed the people who came weren't good people?
