Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 441 The Secrets of the Divine Realm, the Eighteen God Kings

"Senior, what does this mean?"

Chen Ming didn't expect the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to be hidden from the God of Pride, after all, the changes in Sunset Forest were known throughout the entire continent.

The methods he had set up outside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had already made many people aware that Poison Douluo had a private territory in Sunset Forest. He was simply preventing outsiders from entering.

While the God of Pride was suppressed to the limit of the plane, with a strength of only level 99, his actual combat power was far greater than that. As a veteran first-level god whose lifespan was difficult to calculate, unless he was affected by an ability that reduced his intelligence, the God of Pride would almost certainly be able to discover the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

"What do you mean?" The God of Arrogance glared at Chen Ming, his expression somewhat strange.

"It's perfectly normal that Dugu Bo couldn't see the problem with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. After all, I've been able to sense from our time together that although he has some talent in cultivation, he's a bit simple-minded and not very bright. It's normal that he doesn't understand."

"But Xiaoming, you should have already had some contact with the core of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, or guessed what's beneath it, right?"

"Two fallen god-level dragons, one of ice and one of fire. If the God of Destruction hadn't explicitly told me that there are only five God-Kings in the God Realm, I would have suspected that these two dragons were God-King level beings in their previous lives."

"These two dragons were once god-kings. That concerns a major event in the realm of gods." The God of Pride stared intently into Chen Ming's eyes and spoke bluntly.

"Could it be about that so-called Dragon God?" Chen Ming asked in return.

"I used to wonder why there were so many traces of god-level dragons in Douluo Continent, and why soul beasts couldn't become gods, but there are divine beasts in the legends of Douluo Continent."

"So I also tried to explore information about the dragon race. So I vaguely know that the dragon race in Douluo Continent once had a race of deities called the Dragon God, who was very powerful, but eventually perished."

"Senior Aotian, is there a problem?"

The God of Arrogance sorted out his thoughts and realized that it did seem to be true. After all, there were simply too many dragons in the Douluo Continent. If one really investigated carefully, it wouldn't be difficult to find a Dragon God among them.

However, the extent of the Dragon God's power and his position in the God Realm are beyond the knowledge of the Douluo Continent.

He had a preconceived notion that Chen Ming already knew about the Dragon God and the turmoil in the God Realm. But upon further reflection, he realized it was unlikely that Chen Ming knew about this.

After all, who but the people involved back then could reveal such a secret?

"I'm just giving you a heads-up. Be careful not to let the path of the dragons interfere with your progress, lest it cause problems with your divine position."

"."

Feeling Chen Ming's indifferent gaze, the God of Arrogance finally couldn't continue speaking.

"Never mind, I'll tell you after you enter the Divine Trial Realm. Don't worry, I wouldn't harm you. With your talent, you're at least a self-created first-level god. According to the Lord, it's not impossible for you to become a new God-King in the future. You'll be able to know this in the future, so let's just say I'm telling you in advance."

The God of Pride waved his hand, gesturing to Chen Ming. After thinking for a moment, Chen Ming nodded, opened the secret realm, and the two of them went inside together.

Beneath the Mountain of Power, the God of Pride sat casually on a rock, gazing at the opposite Mountain of Thunder with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. Without waiting for Chen Ming to ask, he began to recount the story of the divine realm.

The God of Pride didn't hide anything and told two versions. One was the story of the Dragon God that most of the gods in the current divine realm know.

In this story, the Dragon God is a god-king who entered the divine realm later in life. He is incredibly powerful, even surpassing a single god-king. Driven by ambition, he led the dragon race in rebellion. In the end, the Dragon God was slain by the Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms, and his remains were sealed in the Forest of Divine Beasts. From then on, the divine realm no longer allowed soul beasts to become gods.

This story was used to deal with the new generation of gods. The god of arrogance only mentioned it briefly before revealing the truth of what happened back then.

Just like the setting that Chen Ming changed when he watched the fourth part of Douluo Continent before his transmigration, the Dragon God is the supreme being of the God Realm, which was originally created by the Dragon God and was the divine domain of the Dragon Clan. In the end, various god-kings and deities of other races joined, forming the powerful Dragon God's divine domain.

Just as the Dragon God was preparing to elevate the Dragon God Realm from the energy plane to the real plane and sublimate it into a divine star, an accident occurred, and the Dragon God lost control. Some of the dragons perished at the hands of the gods while trying to protect the Dragon God, while others died at the hands of the out-of-control Dragon God.

Originally, the divine realm, which had eighteen god-kings besides the Dragon God, was reduced to only five god-kings after this battle. The divine realm shrank to one-tenth of its original size and never regained its former glory.

The God of Life and the God of Destruction died for a period of time after the war of gods due to their severe injuries, but they were later brought back to life because they were manifestations of the rules of the universe's will.

Even though Chen Ming already knew all these things, after listening to everything the God of Pride said, Chen Ming still closed his eyes and remained silent for a while before calming himself down.

Facing the god of arrogance, Chen Ming asked the question he had always wanted to know.

"At its peak, the Dragon God Realm had the Dragon God as its supreme god-king, along with eighteen other god-kings. What is the difference between a supreme god-king and a god-king? Besides the current five great god-kings of the divine realm, who are these eighteen god-kings?"

"Supreme God-King, I don't even know what that realm is. Although I am indeed a first-level god in the God Realm since the Dragon God Era, I am not even a God-King, so how can I describe the realm of the Supreme God-King?"

The God of Pride explained, and then answered Chen Ming's next question.

"Among the eighteen God Kings of the God Realm, there are nine Dragon Kings, namely the Water, Fire, Earth, Black, White, Time, Space and Wind Dragon Kings. Among them, the Water Dragon King is both water and ice attribute, and can also be called the Ice Dragon King. Although the Mountain Dragon King and the Earth Dragon King sound similar and have similar attributes, they are two different Dragon Kings."

"Mountain dragons are characterized by stability, and their size and strength are the strongest among dragons. Since their birth, they have been burdened with the responsibility of providing a continent for the dragon race to reproduce. Because of this great responsibility, mountain dragons are forever kings. Every adult mountain dragon can bear the title of Dragon King."

"It's just that strength can't be calculated like that. The Mountain Dragon Clan has had several kings. The Mountain Dragon King at the time of the Dragon God's accident was already the successor of several generations later, unlike the other first-generation Dragon Kings."
