Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 180: Conversation with Gods and the Heritage of Water, the Fifth Soul Ring
At the end of the previous chapter, the Water Dragon King was set as a male. However, after checking, it was found that in the setting of Douluo Dalu 4, the Water Dragon King is actually a female. The previous God of Light was also like this, but it was barely passed over. There is no way this time, so I would like to apologize to everyone here. The end of the previous chapter has also been modified.

Lin Yi looked at the giant dragon, his heart filled with shock.

Although it is said to be a dragon, in fact, Lin Yi can only see the dragon head, and can only guess the dragon body at the back based on his imagination.

The golden perception that used to automatically provide Lin Yi with various information is now silent.

Lin Yi realized belatedly that in this space, there was only the almost tangible water element.

Compared to Lin Yi's mostly curious mood, Xue Di's heart sank slowly, with no sign of bottoming out.

She had been practicing for nearly 700,000 years, but she actually felt a strong pressure from the giant dragon in front of her.

The gap between them is not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of attribute level.

Although she ranks third among the ten most ferocious beasts, as long as she is in the Far North, Xue Di is confident that she can defeat both the Beast God Di Tian and the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord.

But when facing the giant dragon in front of her, she was horrified to find that she didn't even have the courage to attack. How could the proud Snow Queen accept this?

Lin Yi's gaze gradually moved upwards and he saw the beautiful middle-aged woman sitting leisurely on the dragon's head with a gentle look on her face.

In the spiritual space, the figure of the God of Light suddenly appeared, with a tone of shock and surprise.

"I didn't expect it to be her. She's still here..."

"Master, what are you talking about?"

Lin Yi's consciousness suddenly appeared in the spiritual space and asked the God of Light.

The God of Light's expression changed, "Who let you in?!"

Lin Yi was stunned. This was the first time that the God of Light spoke to him in this tone after so many years of being his disciple.

There was no grievance. Lin Yi was not the kind of person who would be pretentious. After thinking calmly, Lin Yi almost guessed what was going on.

He was afraid that his actions would reveal some traces and be noticed by the person outside, and even the breath of the God of Light might be discovered, so the God of Light was extremely nervous.

After a subconscious rebuke, the God of Light also sighed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scold you."

"It's just that you suddenly appeared in the spiritual space. Although you feel that there is no time interval, this is only for mortals. For gods, the spiritual space you just appeared in will open a gap, leaking the aura within."

"Of course, this is an extremely brief moment that can only be perceived by second-level gods and above, but the person outside is more than just a second-level god."

"You can also blame me, Master. I thought it was impossible for me not to encounter such a situation in the lower realm, so I didn't tell you in advance."

After saying that, the God of Light looked at Lin Yi with a hint of apology in his eyes.

Lin Yi bowed and said, "Master, your words are too sincere. This matter was caused by my recklessness and has nothing to do with you."

"Only now..."

The God of Light comforted him, "It's okay. If you find out, then you find out. It won't matter."

Before Lin Yi could ask anything else, the thoughtful look in the eyes of the beautiful middle-aged woman on the dragon head outside had turned into realization.

"So it's a god descending to the mortal world. Why don't you show yourself?"

"Master..." Lin Yi's eyes showed concern.

The God of Light gave him a reassuring look, "It's okay. I only have a trace of my consciousness here. She can't do anything to me. Besides, her current condition is even worse."

After saying that, the God of Light appeared in the outside world in a flash, leaving Lin Yi's consciousness still thinking about what the God of Light meant.

In the outside world, the God of Light revealed the identity of this middle-aged beautiful woman the moment he appeared.

"It turned out to be the Water Dragon King. I didn't expect to see Senior Water Dragon King here."

"You are……"

The Water Dragon King was somewhat surprised when his identity was revealed, and looked at the God of Light with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"I, Bai Tu, am now the God of Light in the divine realm."

"God of Light, light..."

As the Water Dragon King listened, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, as if he was recalling a sad thing in the past.

After a moment, the Water Dragon King looked at the God of Light and said, "If you are a god, why did you take the liberty of sending your spirit down to the mortal realm and even take possession of a little creature?"

"Could this be the heir you've chosen? Wanting to inherit your throne as the God of Light?"

The God of Light said, "As you said, this is the successor I have chosen, Lin Yi."

Then he turned around and looked at Lin Yi, "Come here and meet Senior Water Dragon King."

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and signaled Xue Di and the others to stay where they were. He took a few steps forward, walked close to the dragon head, and bowed.

"Greetings, Senior Water Dragon King."

The Water Dragon King glanced at Lin Yi, nodded slightly, and turned his gaze to the Snow Queen, "Little girl, come here."

Snow Queen frowned slightly, "I was born nearly 700,000 years ago, but Senior calls me a little girl. This is a bit inappropriate."

The God of Light had a good impression of Xue Di before. After all, she was a good person. Especially now that she had signed a blood contract with her disciple, it would be bad to just stand by and watch.

"Snow Girl, you must not be disrespectful to Senior Water Dragon King. Do you know how powerful Senior Water Dragon King is? Apologize now!"

The Snow Empress could feel the kindness of the God of Light, but the Snow Empress who had ruled the Far North for hundreds of thousands of years had her own pride. Upon hearing the words of the God of Light, the Snow Empress simply bowed slightly to show her appreciation, but still looked at the Water Dragon King with a somewhat unconvinced look.

Lin Yi didn't say anything, but quietly moved to the front of Xue Di, keeping his hands in a bow, and protected Xue Di behind him.

When Xue Di saw Lin Yi like this, she was also stunned. Her heart of ice and snow that had been there for hundreds of thousands of years suddenly felt a little warmth, and her eyes softened as she looked at Lin Yi.

When the God of Light saw this situation, he sighed in his heart and silently prepared to take action.

The Water Dragon King suddenly said, "You are acting like I'm a bad dragon."

Lin Yi, the god, and the elf were all stunned at the same time and looked at the Water Dragon King.

The Water Dragon King looked at the Snow Empress and chuckled, "Don't even mention that you're only seven hundred thousand years old. Even the God of Light is just a junior in my eyes. When I fell, even this so-called God Realm was no longer what it is today. Seven hundred thousand years, huh..."

The Water Dragon King spoke in a calm tone, but his pride was not concealed at all. Lin Yi suspected that the Water Dragon King before him was even more powerful than his own master.

Moreover, not only his strength, but also his personality is better than that of his own master. If I said this, as long as I am not beaten up, it can be considered that my master is in a good mood recently.

However, the Water Dragon King...

Lin Yi had naturally heard of the legend of the nine dragon kings of the dragon clan, but if the water dragon king in front of him was one of the nine dragon kings, then the strength of the dragon clan was probably much stronger than he had imagined.

Upon hearing the Water Dragon King's words, Xue Di instinctively disbelieved them. This was beyond her comprehension. What did it mean that the divine realm was not what it was now? She subconsciously looked at the God of Light, only to see him nod slightly, acknowledging what the Water Dragon King had said. The immense shock of information left Xue Di somewhat bewildered. This world was far larger than she had imagined. In the end, she realized that she was nothing more than a frog in a well with a limited perspective.

Xue Di is a little autistic.

The Water Dragon King said gently, "As a spirit born of nature, your aptitude is quite good, especially your previous understanding of ice, snow, and water. Although it is a bit biased, it is still extraordinary."

As he spoke, the Water Dragon King said sternly, "Although you are not of the dragon clan, it doesn't matter now. Snow Girl, I have a serious question for you. Are you willing to become my disciple and inherit my water heritage?"

The Water Dragon King's sudden words shocked everyone, gods, and elves.

inherited?

Is this god in front of me going to pass down his legacy?
Lin Yi's face changed slightly, and then he realized that it would be best if Xue Di could inherit the divine heritage.

When fighting against Tang San in the future, it would be impossible for him to fight him alone, so it would be best to have teammates to help him.

Huo Yuhao, the son of destiny, is actually not particularly suitable. However, Lin Yi really has no one else at his disposal. Now with the addition of Xue Di, his confidence will be a bit greater.

Xue Di also showed a bit of excitement. She had always longed for eternal life, so if she had this opportunity, she would certainly not let it go.

Unexpectedly, the Water Dragon King said the next moment, "However, I must remind you in advance that I have no divine throne to pass on to you. After a great war in the past, my dragon clan declined and no divine throne was passed on. All you can inherit is my pure understanding of water."

"In this world, strength is everything. If you want something, you'll naturally get it when you're strong enough."

This sentence was not said by the Water Dragon King. Although she wanted to accept the Snow Empress as her disciple, with the dignity of the Water Dragon King, it was impossible for her to ask the Snow Empress to become her disciple.

Therefore, these words were spoken by the God of Light.

The Water Dragon King gave a grateful look and then looked at the Snow Empress.

The words of the God of Light hit Xue Di's heart like a heavy hammer. Why did she have to rely on others to gain eternal life? She was Xue Di!
The third of the ten most ferocious beasts, the leader of the three kings of the Far North, and the lord of the Far North, the Snow Emperor!
Eternal life, I can take it myself!

Breaking free from the shackles in her heart, Xue Di felt that the time had come to condense her second soul core, and this time she would surely succeed!
The heavenly tribulation that followed for 700,000 years could no longer pose a threat to the Snow Empress.

Back to the present, Xue Di looked at the Water Dragon King on the dragon head, lifted her clothes slightly, knelt heavily on the ground, and performed three bows.

Although she has a quiet image in a simple and elegant dress, she looks quite dashing when she moves.

"Disciple Snow Girl, I pay my respects to Master!"

Although the tradition on Douluo Continent is to call someone "Teacher", after getting to know Lin Yi, Xue Di saw that Lin Yi kept calling him "Master". She felt that this way of addressing him could better show respect, so she also addressed him that way.

The Water Dragon King was obviously very satisfied. He took light lotus steps and floated down from the dragon head to the ground. He came to the Snow Empress and helped her up with one hand.

"Okay, from today on, you will be my disciple, the Water Dragon King. I never thought about the inheritance when you were alive, but now that you're dead, you think about finding a successor."

"Child, although you have the attribute of snow, as you said, snow and water are just different forms. The water heritage of your master is also suitable for you. But you must remember that what belongs to you is yours. You can learn, but you can't learn everything. You still have to forge your own path, the path of a snow girl!"

The Snow Girl bowed and saluted, "Disciple understands."

The Water Dragon King smiled and nodded. As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed. A water-blue light sank into the center of the Snow Empress's eyebrows.

Afterwards, Xue Di felt that this water-blue light followed her spirit and came directly to her body in the far north.

Xue Di was shocked. He could reach her in an instant from such a long distance. Is this the strength of her new master?
In the space below Yin and Yang, the Water Dragon King looked at the Snow Empress's clone and said, "Alright, there's nothing to worry about here for now. Please disperse and concentrate on comprehending the water inheritance of your master."

Xue Di nodded in agreement, greeted Lin Yi and the God of Light, and then dispersed on her own. Her spirit returned to her body through Lin Yi's contract.

After the Snow Queen left, the Water Dragon King finally turned to the God of Light and asked, "Given my disciple's strength and aptitude, why hasn't he become a god yet? Is the God Realm's standards so high now?"

The God of Light sighed softly, "Senior Water Dragon King, that's not the case. It's just that it's an iron rule in the God Realm that soul beasts cannot become gods."

"What did you say?"

The Water Dragon King spoke each word with a murderous look in his eyes.

Almost instantly, the water element in the space was replaced by the ice element, and the breath of the Water Dragon King was no longer gentle, but bitingly cold.

Before Lin Yi could even react, he turned into an ice sculpture, his entire body inside and out frozen, even his consciousness and vitality were frozen.

The God of Light was secretly shocked when he saw this scene. Is this the strength of the Water Dragon King, one of the nine dragon kings in the past who wielded the power of ice and water?
Even though only a trace of his soul remains, he can still achieve this level.

It is rumored that the nine dragon kings in the past were all at the level of god kings. I didn't believe it yet, but now after seeing the performance of the Water Dragon King, I have to believe it.

Before, she told Lin Yi that the Water Dragon King was in a bad condition and could not do anything to her. Now the God of Light had to admit that she was arrogant.

As for Lin Yi who was frozen into an ice sculpture, the God of Light was not worried. Although her strength was not as good as the Water Dragon King, she still had good eyesight.

Lin Yi was now clearly completely frozen by the sudden low temperature.

The meaning of thoroughness is to include the time that Lin Yi is currently in.

If Lin Yi remains in this frozen state, ten thousand years will not be a problem. In fact, as long as the power of the Water Dragon King does not dissipate, Lin Yi's ice sculpture will continue to exist, and Lin Yi's vitality will always remain at the moment before he was frozen.

It was just right that I had to discuss some taboos with the Water Dragon King right now, so it was just as well that Lin Yi was frozen in ice.

As for Lin Yi, he only felt that he seemed to lose consciousness for a moment, but it was only a moment. When he recovered, nothing seemed to have changed. Even the loss of consciousness was just an illusion.

Apart from……

Lin Yi looked at the Water Dragon King in front of him with disbelief in his eyes.

"Senior wants to become my spirit ring?!"

The Water Dragon King still looked gentle and calm.

"Why? Did I wrong you by becoming your spirit ring?"

“No, no, no,” Lin Yi waved his hands frantically, leaving shadows behind. “Senior, you misunderstood me. I feel that it is unfair for you, the senior, to be my spirit ring.”

The Water Dragon King chuckled, "I don't even think so, so why are you so self-deprecating?"

"Senior, you suddenly decided to become my spirit ring. You must have something to ask for. Please give me some advice. Otherwise, I dare not obey your order."

"Your master and I have already discussed this matter, you can rest assured."

"Master?"

Lin Yi looked at the God of Light, and the God of Light nodded slightly, indicating that it was indeed the case.

Although it was unknown what consensus these two had reached that made this powerful man, whose strength even surpassed that of the God of Light, decide to become his soul ring, Lin Yi still trusted the God of Light.

Moreover, Lin Yi suppressed his excitement. After obtaining the Water Dragon King's spirit ring, his strength would definitely surge, adding more foundation for his future battle against Tang San.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi nodded to the Water Dragon King and said, "In that case, I feel ashamed to receive your great kindness."
