Fire Dragon King released his arms from the Water Dragon King, his bright golden eyes looking at Huo Yuhao and saying,
"Little Water agrees."
"You should still have room to accommodate Little Water's power, right?"
"Let me explain first, Little Water was once a God-King, after all.
Even after so many years of wear and tear, her power is still immense!"
"The fusion process may be quite painful."
Huo Yuhao's expression remained unchanged.
He had already prepared himself mentally; it would be strange if fusing with the Water Dragon King didn't cause any pain.
"Yes, I do."
"I happen to have another martial soul that can accommodate Miss Water Dragon King's power."
"As for pain? No problem."
Fire Dragon King nodded and said,
"That's good."
"I'll burn my divine soul to help you gather the Crown of Fire and help you and Little Water complete your fusion."
Afterwards, Little Water and I will be yours."
"Remember this!
The Bronze and Fire King must be handsome enough!"
"He must be the most handsome one in the new dragon race!"
"Also, you can't bully Little Water, she's rather naive."
Hearing Fire Dragon King's words, Huo Yuhao's lips twitched. He could bully Water Dragon King? What a joke!
The two sides were not even in the same league.
Huo Gushi was kind-hearted and would at most ask Water Dragon King to help with chores, after all, it would be a waste not to use God-King level spiritual power.
However, Huo Yuhao's face then showed doubt. He discovered the blind spot in Fire Dragon King's words.
"Wait a minute!"
"Why burn your divine soul to condense a crown?"
"Even the Space Dragon King didn't do that. You're in much better shape than him."
The Fire Dragon King shook his head helplessly. The Water Dragon King's gentle, ethereal voice was tinged with sorrow, and his eyelids drooped.
"Because Ah Huo's body and soul are incomplete."
"On the eve of the Dragon God War, Ah Huo was already pregnant, carrying the next generation of Fire Dragon King within her."
"Her entire bloodline was nourishing that child. Later, when the Lord went mad, Ah Huo was torn apart multiple times.
Before her fall, she used all her power to protect the child."
"Her own body and soul were completely exposed to the cosmic vacuum and elemental turbulence."
"Her condition only appeared good; in reality, she was already riddled with holes."
"Compared to the space, her condition was probably even worse."
"If it weren't for your arrival, she would probably have completely disappeared a thousand years later, leaving only a beast-like dragon soul."
The Fire Dragon King laughed a few times, breaking the sorrowful atmosphere, and said:
"It doesn't matter."
"Anyway, I didn't want to live anymore.
Being able to do something meaningful before annihilation is the best outcome for me."
"I just don't know how the child is doing."
"Did she survive...?"
The Fire Dragon King's eyes dimmed slightly. After being torn apart by the Dragon God, his upper body was in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and his lower body fell into the Dragon Tomb.
He was a 2.5 dragon.
She used most of her power to protect the child inside her body, but even so, she still didn't think the child could survive in the vacuum of space and the turbulent elemental currents.
Huo Yuhao actually knew that her child was still alive, still in the egg, and would become the second-generation Fire Dragon King in the future, though its fate would be quite tragic, better off dead.
"Don't worry, I will investigate the Dragon Tomb in the future."
"Whether it's dead or alive, let Miss Water Dragon King be your witness."
"If she's still alive, I can send her to Di Tian."
The Fire Dragon King sighed, his eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Huo Yuhao.
"Then I'll leave it to you and Little Water."
"If she's still alive, whether or not to give her the Crown of Fire is up to you to decide."
"Even if we don't, Little Water and I won't say anything; you don't owe us anything."
"Come on! Let's not waste any more time.
I'll refine the crown and help you two fuse!"
"Human boy! Release the empty space!"
The Fire Dragon King wasted no more time, letting out a series of dragon roars, and the red and white spring water above his head began to vibrate violently.
She transformed back into a crimson dragon soul and plunged into the dragon body.
Then, surging divine power began to boil, and her already crimson bones now seemed to shimmer with the blazing sun, intensely hot and dazzling.
The Water Dragon King turned to Huo Yuhao and said softly,
"Then I'll begin too."
"After the fusion, I'll give you the Water Crown."
Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate. He canceled his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, and the Snow Emperor Martial Soul took over, a blood-red soul ring belonging to the Snow Emperor circling his body.
Seeing this, the Water Dragon King transformed into a light blue dragon soul and rushed straight towards Huo Yuhao.
The dragon soul and Huo Yuhao's body touched without making a sound, like a drop of water merging into the ocean, silently and completely entering Huo Yuhao's body.
Guided by Huo Yuhao's spiritual power, the Water Dragon King smoothly entered the Sea of Spirit.
"Brother Tianmeng! Time to get to work!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had long since stopped deducing the meridian diagram, waiting for the fusion to begin.
"Understood!"
"This is my job!"
After entering the Sea of Spirit, the Water Dragon King initially thought she was alone, but unexpectedly, she saw Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and the others greeting her.
"Who are you?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm waved her hand and said,
"Introductions will take time."
"The main task now is for you and Yuhao to complete your fusion."
"Elder Yi!"
Electrolux appeared in mid-air, a young man with long silver-gray hair and wearing a black and gold robe, standing in the air and saying,
"Hmm."
"Big Bug, and that Dragon King."
"You two are responsible for guiding the energy."
"I will personally be in charge of the Soul Spirit Ritual."
"Yuhao, it's a bit of a waste for a Dragon King to simply become a Soul Ring; it would be better if he existed as a Soul Spirit."
Huo Yuhao's voice entered his spiritual sea, saying,
"Then I'll leave it to Elder Electrolux."
"I also need to prepare to withstand the energy impact."
Electrolux said to the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the Water Dragon King,
"Let's begin."
The Water Dragon King did not hesitate and immediately began to fuse.
The Water Dragon King's corpse on the ground emitted a faint glow, and terrifying power began to gather at the dragon's head.
Under the guidance of the Water Dragon King, the vast energy washed over every cell of Huo Yuhao's body, and Huo Yuhao's whole body was stretched by the energy to the point of swelling.
Huo Yuhao felt the impact of the energy within his body and, through his spiritual power, cooperated with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the Water Dragon King to complete the power fusion.
Electrolux rapidly sketched a Soul Spirit Array in the external world using his mental power within his Sea of Spirit.
This array, combined with alchemy, was even more effective and wouldn't damage the soul's physical form.
In the distance, a small crown was faintly appearing on the Fire Dragon King's head, and a powerful divine force was transmitted by the Fire Dragon King to the array.
"Although I don't understand your array, it's clear that inscribing it with divine power is more effective."
"I'll leave my consciousness within the divine power; you can guide and use it yourselves."
Electrolux immediately linked with this divine power through his mental power and then controlled it to begin sketching the Soul Spirit Array.
Although this was their first practical application, under the coordinated cooperation of the three founders of Soul Spirit technology, the divine power version of the Soul Spirit Array enveloped Huo Yuhao's body.
The Water Dragon King understood, and his power began to connect with Huo Yuhao's essence through the array.
A large, azure cocoon enveloped Huo Yuhao's entire body, and the previously raging energy gradually subsided under the guidance of the array.
Soon, the cocoon began to become transparent, and the first blue-gold spirit ring appeared around Huo Yuhao's body, followed by the second and third.
Finally, a blood-red spirit ring and three blue-gold spirit rings circled around his body, and Huo Yuhao's spirit power level reached level fifty, a level limited by the spirit rings.
Of course, for Huo Yuhao, the spirit master level was not important; what mattered was the mastery of the rules.
Because of the absorption of information about the Water Dragon King and the deconstruction of some divine power, the [Understanding] authority instantly increased to 25%.
The panel displayed relevant information.
"[Understanding] authority lower-level power - Reproduction unlocked."
"[Reproduction]: Not wishful thinking, nor creation from nothing, but skipping the predetermined process to reach the result."
"Elements: First understand, then prepare energy, and finally directly realize."
Huo Yuhao calmed the surging energy within him, slowly stood up, and twisted his neck, making a crisp sound.
He did not sense the spirit skills brought to him by the three spirit rings, but instead focused on digesting the information transmitted from the [Understanding] authority.
"Reproduce..."
Huo Yuhao quickly constructed a model of an eighth-level soul-guided decomposition cannon in his mind using his mental power, and then used his [Understanding] authority to begin reproducing it.
His soul power surged, and the phantom of the soul-guided cannon appeared in his hand, then solidified, until he felt the coolness of metal in his palm.
Huo Yuhao examined the soul-guided cannon in his hand, tapped it with his fingers, and then thought to himself:
"This is a rare metal?"
"I understand, the so-called reproduction is essentially the materialization of energy."
"Defying the heavens."
"The rules are truly unreasonable."
The materialization of energy was something even science fiction wouldn't dare to write about in his previous life, because it was too outrageous, already belonging to the realm of fantasy.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm watched Huo Yuhao's actions in the sea of consciousness, her eyes wide with astonishment.
Ilex also looked shocked, and the Golden Tortoiseshell estimated in its mind just how outrageous this was.
The Snow Empress and the Water Dragon King were completely bewildered, blinking with some confusion.
They simply found the creation of metal out of thin air quite magical.
However, for knowledgeable beings like Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ilex, Huo Yuhao's move was even more divine than a god's.
"Good heavens, Yuhao, that's energy turning into matter?!"
"There's no intermediate process! It's just pure energy suddenly turning into matter!"
"How is that possible?"
"The rules are too amazing!"
Huo Yuhao smiled and said to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm,
"That's right, the essence of reproduction is energy transforming into matter."
"Now I understand, so-called omnipotence should be composed of the reproduction of [Imagination] and [Understanding]." "
The three rules of the Lord of Spirit never exist independently; the three rules are all branches of the spirit."
"Only when the rules intertwine can omniscience and omnipotence be constituted, supporting its position above all things."
"Oh, right, Miss Water Dragon King, you should be able to come out of my body."
"Let's try."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's voice, the Water Dragon King immediately manifested her form in the real world through her soul ring.
She clenched her fist in reality, her voice, as soft as water, filled with surprise.
"Just like being alive,"
Huo Yuhao said, looking at her.
"That's what a soul spirit is like."
"However, because of me, you definitely can't use too much power."
"After all, a soul spirit is supported by soul power."
Of course, if Huo Yuhao went all out, supplying the Water Dragon King with hundreds of billions of Dream Coins, she could unleash a god-level attack, but it wouldn't last long.
The combined energy of thousands of Title Douluos compared to a single God King is like a puddle compared to a great river.
