Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 31 The Companion Dragon God

It felt as if the blood in his body was flowing backward, and a strange pain swept over Gu You's entire body.

"Then I'll begin." The Ice Emperor Scorpion's head touched Gu You's forehead, and the powerful extreme ice covered everything around it with a thick layer of snow-white ice.

The martial spirit began to emanate outwards, and the soul power seemed to have reached a certain limit.

30! !!

A black spirit ring with red edges flew out from the Ice Emperor Scorpion and hovered at Gu You's feet.

Gu You's veins bulged all over his body, and he was in great physical pain, but he felt unusually comfortable in his mind, a feeling that was hard to describe.

The black spirit ring was very unstable. Gu You closed his two fingers and opened his eyes instantly, but his pupils had turned into vertical holes. The spirit ring stopped struggling and floated steadily under Gu You.

"It really works! You should know that we soul beasts all have soul bones, so naturally I can't be left out. Of course, I have one too. What I'm giving you is your right leg bone, and it's already close to a qualitative change, almost like an ordinary 100,000-year soul bone. I'm also giving you two soul bone skills." The Ice Emperor Scorpion was already in her soul state, and her size had also changed dramatically, reaching nearly ten meters tall, exuding a true kingly aura.

"You've been here for 100,000 years?" Gu You looked shocked.

"That's right, I should have been 100,000 years old, but I was suppressed because of the Heavenly Tribulation. After merging with you, the restriction of the Heavenly Tribulation is gone, so I can be considered a 100,000-year-old soul beast."

Gu You began to calmly integrate, no longer distracted. The pain had basically disappeared, but it would still be there, because there was still a 100,000-year-old soul bone. Even if a soul beast sacrificed itself, the power of a 100,000-year-old soul bone was not something an ordinary person could withstand. Soul rings could be supported by mental power, but soul bones could only be supported by your physical body.

The black spirit ring began to emit a red halo, and a huge amount of energy burst out, causing the surrounding ice to shatter. The instrument that had once suppressed the Ice Emperor Scorpion was also shattered by this force.

At that moment! The right leg bone of the Ice Emperor Scorpion floated in front of Gu You and merged into Gu You's right foot.

An indescribable pain erupted in my right leg, reaching such an extreme that I lost all feeling in it.

Ah!

A sense of powerlessness and destruction rose in Gu You's heart, as if everything around him had turned dark, and a deep voice echoed in his mind.

Why...

In an instant, the world around me changed, becoming eternal darkness, boundless and endless.

"Where is this?" Gu You pinched his arm hard, feeling pain. He remembered that he was just fusing with his soul bone, so how did he end up in this godforsaken place in an instant?

Why...

The voice appeared again, deep and somber, conveying desolation, loneliness, and a faint trace of anger.

"Why? Yes! Why? Why did I come to this world? Why do I have this special martial soul?" Gu You's eyes darkened, and a burst of purple light flashed in the sky, giving the entire dark world a halo.

Gu You looked up and his pupils dilated. A dragon! A dragon ten thousand meters long!!

Nine strange halos floated around the dragon's body, its purple scales radiating a strong glow, like an unyielding rock. The nine halos behind its head expanded slightly outwards and then contracted continuously.

God King...

Gu You watched all this in silence; the answer he had been looking for had finally arrived.

"Human, you have finally arrived." The dragon's voice was gentle, which was very different from its overall aura.

"Yes, I've finally arrived to uncover the secret between us," Gu You said with a smile.

"Do not approach the Dragon God. This is merely my good intention, an important step in telling you something. I will soon fall into slumber, at which time my evil will take over everything. It will retaliate against you for approaching the Dragon God. Even if it doesn't kill you, you will suffer a great price," the dragon said with a smile.

"Then let it come, senior. Tell me your story. I'm very curious about what happened tens of thousands of years ago. I also want to understand the new grudges and hatreds involved. The Dragon God is dead. Now, the only thing left in this world is its dual bloodline, the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. But if one of the two merges, it will reappear." Gu You looked at the dragon. Since he had used someone else's power, he couldn't be an ungrateful person. If it was really some great grudge, he would kill the Golden Dragon King, erase its bloodline, and make it truly disappear.

But now is not the time. The Lord of the Plane is a member of the Tang family, as is the Ancient Tree of Life in the future. They are two true gods and one second-level god, far beyond what Gu You can currently contend with.

"In ancient times, two giant dragons were born between heaven and earth, one creating and the other destroying. At that time, the dragon race began to revive and became the most powerful race, unmatched in the world. Later, it and I ascended to the realm of gods, leading countless people of our race. Everything was fine until the Dragon God made a decision that I couldn't understand: no more soul beasts would become gods! At that time, the Dragon God's power was already several times stronger than that of humans in the realm of gods. To alleviate this situation, the Dragon God actually disregarded the internal discussions among the divine beasts and issued this decree. The laws of heaven and earth certified it, and nothing could stop it. I was furious. The Dragon God trusted humans too much. He didn't understand human evil, he didn't understand human ambition..."

"Then why did you choose me?" Gu You looked at the Dragon God in confusion. Since it hated humans and didn't trust them, why did it still choose humans?

"Do I have a choice?" The accompanying dragon god sighed.

"Huh? That makes sense, since soul beasts can't become gods right now." Gu You coughed awkwardly twice.

"I led my soul beast people in rebellion, but I underestimated the Dragon God's strength. It had already comprehended powers beyond creation. I thought it was one with me, but it believed in eternal creation, while I believed in eternal destruction. It believed in human love, while I had truly witnessed the evil side of humanity. I believed in human evil. My strength was equal to itss, depending on the extent of its creative energy, and the same was true for it, depending on the extent of my destructive energy. But in that battle, I was defeated by its rage in destruction. It comprehended several divine laws, becoming a supreme god-king, no longer bound to me or it." "My resistance failed, and I was annihilated by its divine power. The divine beasts that resisted alongside me also could not escape its punishment. A wisp of my original soul remained, scattered throughout this world, watching helplessly as it was destroyed by the human gods. I don't know if it regretted it in the end, but I know I won. Later, I drifted in the cosmos, and the history of Douluo Continent forgot me. Then, by accident, I parasitized your mind, and used a wisp of divine power to let you travel through time, constantly restoring your original power. Later, I set up these nine seals for you to remove and absorb later." After the Dragon God finished telling the story, Gu You remained silent for a long time.

Is this humanity's fault? Or the fault of some Soul Beast God?
