The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 42 Water and Fire Dragon King
Three full days passed before Zhu Zhuqing emerged from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. In addition to a significant increase in physical strength, her soul power had also reached level 30.

There was no need to hunt for souls; Dan Heng directly bestowed upon Zhu Zhuqing her third soul ring, which was five thousand years old, far exceeding the so-called limit of soul ring lifespan as described by the master.

The scenery of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was indeed magnificent and mysterious, but after staying there for four or five days, everyone had had enough. Meng Huaifeng, March 7, Xing, and Zhu Zhuqing left the valley together to wreak havoc on the soul beasts of Sunset Forest.

While Dugu Bo was still cultivating, Dan Heng finally followed his inner instincts and entered the Eye of Ice and Fire.

After descending nearly ten thousand feet, two enormous dragon corpses appeared before Dan Heng.

One body emitted a white halo, and the other emitted a red halo. The white and red colors were exactly the same as the colors of the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Obviously, the formation of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was closely related to these two dragon corpses.

"You are... a descendant of my Water Dragon Clan?" A transparent white dragon soul emerged from the white dragon corpse, circled around Dan Heng, and asked in surprise.

Not to be outdone, the red dragon corpse unleashed a transparent red dragon soul, asking, "Youngster, after all these years, you are the first dragon to find this place. Tell me, how are the dragons outside doing now?"

"Uh... Two Dragon Kings, the guards below me are from the Wisdom Dragon Clan. Dan Heng is not from this universe, but comes from another universe and is not familiar with the dragons in this universe," Dan Heng said truthfully.

Dan Heng could sense that these two dragons were quite powerful in life, far less powerful than Yin Yuejun at his peak, but probably not much different from him in his current state.

Upon learning that Danheng was not a member of the water dragon clan, the water dragon king was somewhat disappointed, but the fire dragon king, unconcerned, spoke with magnanimity.

"All dragons under heaven are one family, why distinguish between this universe and that universe? I am very happy to meet a fellow dragon after being dead for so many years, haha."

"Young friend Danheng, could you tell us about the current situation outside?" The Water Dragon King composed himself and asked again.

"I haven't been in this universe for long, so I don't know much. I can only tell you some things I've heard secondhand." Dan Heng didn't mind chatting with the two Dragon Kings.

Dan Heng talked a lot with the two Dragon Kings, especially about the special martial soul cultivation system of Douluo Star, which requires hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings in order to continue to improve. After that, the two Dragon Kings cursed the God Realm.

They firmly believed that the Dragon God's madness must be a conspiracy by the gods of the other races.

From the two Dragon Kings, Dan Heng also gained a partial understanding of the truth about the great war in the God Realm back then. He could only say that everyone was acting in their own self-interest, and there was no right or wrong.

To be honest, the current divine realm is in the wrong, since it was created by the Dragon God and it was the Dragon God who allowed other races to enter the divine realm and become gods.

But this has nothing to do with Dan Heng. The principle of the nameless knight is not to interfere in the legitimate struggles between local forces.

Of course, if one side wants to destroy the world or commit massacres, that is no longer a legitimate struggle, and the Nameless One will help the other side severely punish such idiotic behavior.

"Young friend Danheng, before we perished, we saw the Silver Dragon King leading a group of dragons to escape into this planet. Could you please help us find the Silver Dragon King who is hiding on this planet? We have some things we want to say to her, and we also hope that she can bury our remains and dragon souls in the Dragon Realm," the Fire Dragon King pleaded.

“Although you are not of the same lineage as us, we are both water dragons. My essence should be of some help to you. As a reward, I will give it to you. Whether you absorb it to improve your strength or do whatever you want, it is up to you,” said the Water Dragon King.

"And me, since I'm already dead anyway, and this source is useless to you, I'll just give it to you as well. If you can't use it yourself, you can give it to a younger member of the clan," the Fire Dragon King chimed in.

Dan Heng remained unmoved. What difference was there between absorbing the essence of one's own kind and cultivating by cannibalism? Only a creature of abundant evil would do such a thing. The Vidyadhara Dragon Clan was infertile; with each member dying, the clan was gone. Although the Water and Fire Dragon Kings were not members of the Vidyadhara Dragon Clan, Dan Heng couldn't help but ask, "My Vidyadhara Dragon Clan possesses a secret technique that allows deceased dragons to be reincarnated. I wonder if the two Dragon Kings would be willing to be reborn as members of my Vidyadhara Dragon Clan?"

The Dragon Transformation Technique modified by Yin Yue was incomplete in Dan Heng's memory, but the original Dragon Transformation Technique in the Dragon Lord's inheritance was complete.

Bai Heng is not a dragon, and only has a few strands of hair and bloodstains remaining, so he needs to be transformed into a dragon using the magic method.

However, the Water and Fire Dragon Kings are dragons themselves, with complete dragon souls and their original essence still intact. They can easily reincarnate and be reborn using the original Dragon Transformation Technique.

The two Dragon Kings were overjoyed: "Who would want to be buried in the Dragon Realm and await extinction if they could live? We're all dragons anyway, what's there to be unwilling about?"

"There is something I need to tell you in advance: my Wisdom Dragon Clan is descended from the Dragon Ancestor. After the Dragon Ancestor disappeared, due to a series of changes, the Wisdom Dragon Clan lost the ability to reproduce and thrive. They can only continue to reincarnate and be self-sufficient, but they are also declining day by day."

"Moreover, ordinary Vidyadharas only have a lifespan of five hundred years. Your origins are extraordinary, so your lifespan may be longer, but it will probably only be a little over a thousand years before you are reincarnated. In your first life, you can retain your memories thanks to your dragon soul, but in subsequent reincarnations you will lose your previous memories and become a completely new individual." Dan Heng explained the advantages and disadvantages.

The Fire Dragon King and the Water Dragon King looked at each other in bewilderment. Even if they only had their dragon souls left, they could still exist for at least tens of thousands of years. How come their lifespan was shortened after being resurrected?

"Young friend Danheng, this doesn't make sense. Shouldn't the stronger one be, the longer one's lifespan? With your strength, you can only live for a little over a thousand years?" the Water Dragon King questioned.

Dan Heng nodded silently. According to the memories in the Dragon Lord's inheritance, long ago, when the Immortal Dragon Ancestor was still alive, their lifespan was indeed incredibly long. Unfortunately, after the Dragon Ancestor disappeared, the lifespan of ordinary Vidyadharas became shorter and shorter, until it stabilized at around five hundred years.

The Dragon Lords had long deduced that this was likely the result of the mutual influence of the balancing Star Gods, including the demonic Yin body of the Celestials and the Moon Madness of the Fox People.

All those who receive the blessing of the Medicine Master and live long lives have one or more defects that cause them to perish naturally after living to a certain age.

Only a very small number of people can overcome this flaw and continue to live.

No matter how much research is done, the pharmacist's blessing is not problematic, but it just has all sorts of flaws.

Therefore, it could only be that other star gods intervened, most likely the balance star god, Mutual!

It seems that He did not want any race to live forever, believing that it would affect the balance of the universe, so He exerted influence.

If this universe is connected to its own, they will definitely interfere with each other. Before long, there probably won't be many beings in this world that can live for tens or hundreds of thousands of years.

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

　　The later parts of Douluo Continent say that the Dragon God went mad, but how do you explain that he had to kill soul beasts to advance? How do you explain that soul beasts cannot become gods?
