"Dragons once ruled this continent, and their civilization and glory should not be forgotten."
The three women nodded slightly, but none of them spoke.
Gu Linyuan took a step forward, the ground beneath his feet covered with fragments of dragon bones and dark red crystals formed from dried dragon blood.
The crystals gleamed with an eerie luster under the ghostly blue light, like the last marks left by dragons millions of years ago.
"Rest in peace."
Gu Linyuan closed his eyes, and the life mark between his brows flickered.
The next instant, a vast life force surged from his body and spread in all directions.
That was the realm of life, the innate power bestowed upon him by the Tree of Life.
The realm of life emitted a faint emerald green halo, standing out conspicuously in the dark dragon tomb.
The light was not dazzling, but warm and gentle, like the warmest sunshine in spring, bringing peace and comfort to all living things.
Where the halos passed, the dried dragon blood crystals underfoot began to glow faintly.
A faint hint of blood appeared in the dark red crystal.
The most stunning changes occurred in the caves in those rock walls.
The dragon souls that had been sleeping in the cave, and the remnant souls that had been wandering in the dragon tomb, all began to awaken.
They were originally just wisps of vague energy, wandering aimlessly in the Dragon Tomb.
But at this moment, when the emerald green light from the realm of life touched them, those dragon souls seemed to be infused with some kind of power, and they all solidified considerably.
They drifted out of the cave and gathered from every corner of the space.
At first, there were only a few scattered strands, but gradually more and more appeared.
Some of those dragon souls were dark red, some were deep blue, some were light gold, and some were silver-white.
The colors on their bodies represent the attributes they excelled at in their lifetime.
Gu Linyuan opened his eyes and watched as the dragon souls converged towards him.
The dragon souls surrounded him, slowly circling around him.
They made no sound, but Gu Linyuan could sense the emotions they conveyed.
That is dependence, that is intimacy, that is a longing that has been touched after millions of years.
“All living beings will become dependent on the Tree of Life,” Gu Linyuan thought to himself.
"However, the situation seems to be beyond my expectations. In the original story, Tang Wulin buried the dragons' bones and eventually gained the dragon clan's recognition, and even obtained the Dragon King's precious bones."
"But why..."
Gu Linyuan frowned deeply.
He originally intended to activate his Life Martial Soul to use life energy to dissipate the obsessions and ferocity of the fallen dragons in this small world, helping them to rest in peace.
In this way, perhaps he can also obtain great benefits like Tang Wulin.
But now, everything seems to be going beyond his expectations.
The life force within him was too pure, too primal.
Although dragon souls are the lingering thoughts of the dead, they are essentially still a form of life energy.
They sensed the purest life force emanating from Gu Linyuan, like thirsty travelers in the desert finding a spring of sweet water, instinctively wanting to get closer.
The dragon souls gathered in greater numbers, densely surrounding him.
They swirl around the ancient Lin Yuan, forming a colorful vortex.
At the center of this vortex, Gu Linyuan stood motionless, and his body began to undergo some subtle changes.
"What's going on?"
"This dragon energy seems to be drilling into my body."
Gu Linyuan frowned.
He could feel the dragon souls touching his body, and with each touch, a surge of pure energy flowed into his body.
Those energies carried the unique grandeur and domineering nature of the dragon race, as fierce as a volcanic eruption.
But at the same time, those energies were softened and purified in his life realm, eventually transforming into a gentle force that flowed throughout his body.
His body felt as if it were soaking in a hot spring, with every pore on his body open, and every inch of his skin greedily absorbing the energy brought by the dragon souls.
This feeling is very comfortable.
This sudden change left Gu Linyuan somewhat dumbfounded.
He could clearly feel that his body was undergoing some kind of transformation at an extremely rapid pace.
Gu Linyuan is currently powerless to change this trend, which caught him somewhat off guard.
However, Gu Linyuan did not reject this change. He could sense that this change was not harmful to him at all, but rather an indescribable great opportunity.
"This is perhaps the greatest opportunity I've ever had. It's a hundred times more precious than the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire."
Gu Linyuan took a deep breath, suppressing his inner excitement.
"Even if there are any negative consequences, we can simply reopen it."
Unlike other cultivators, Gu Linyuan could experiment without restraint. He had many choices. Ordinary soul masters, on the other hand, would fall into the abyss if they made the wrong choice.
Soon, the effects began to appear.
The energy of those dragon souls flowed through his body, permeating every part of his body.
They transformed his meridians, strengthened his bones, and refined his blood.
Gu Linyuan could feel his blood boiling, with some mysterious change occurring in every drop of his blood.
That change was not merely a quantitative change, but a qualitative one.
It was as if some new power was being injected into his blood.
The dragon souls spun around him faster and faster, and the energy injected into his body increased.
"what!"
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Gu Linyuan's forehead, and his breathing became rapid.
He could feel his body being cleansed by some ancient and powerful force. The blood within him began to boil, as if it were evolving.
There are only two kinds of creatures in this world that are most favored by heaven and earth: humans and dragons.
Dragons are naturally powerful and are the leaders of the beast races.
From birth, they possess power far exceeding that of other races.
Their physical bodies are unparalleled, innately gifted, and they only need to grow to continuously unlock the bloodline skills within them. The growth of dragons is almost predetermined; given enough time, every pure-blooded dragon can become a top-tier being.
The human race, on the other hand, is the exact opposite.
Humans are born weak, lacking sharp claws and teeth, tough scales and armor, and innate soul power. However, they possess the most terrifying ability: learning. Humans can learn rapidly and quickly increase their strength. The human body is the best vessel for the vital energy of heaven and earth, capable of accommodating various types of soul power, and can continuously grow stronger through cultivation.
Now, these two qualities most favored by heaven and earth are undergoing a fusion within Gu Linyuan's body.
The energy of those dragon souls is transforming his body, making his flesh more resilient and domineering.
His bones were strengthening, his meridians were widening, and his blood was transforming. The top-tier human body, which had been modified by the God of Destruction at birth, was now transforming into an even more perfect form.
Gu Linyuan felt his soul power growing wildly.
The energy from those dragon souls not only transformed his body, but also infused him with pure soul power. The growth rate of that soul power far exceeded his usual cultivation speed, like a rushing river flowing into his soul power pool.
Chapter 107 The Most Perfect Physical Body, Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul Evolves into a Totoro
This change filled Gu Linyuan with ecstasy.
In an instant, he seemed to have a sudden realization.
"At first, I thought that the God of Destruction transformed me into human form just so that I could travel to the timeline where Tang San rose to power, so that I could defeat Tang San better and change the future timeline. But now, perhaps I was too naive."
"The human body is one of the most perfect bodies in the universe. Although the human body is not large, it can contain energy and intelligence far exceeding its physical size. Human potential is also the greatest among all races in the universe."
There are countless races in this world.
However, the only races in the universe with systematic civilizations are the dragons and humans.
Other powerful races have all had their moments of glory, but none have been as brilliant as the civilizations of the dragons and humans.
"After the fall of the Dragon God, the Dragon Realm existed in name only. The God Realm, however, remained stagnant, with the five supreme gods checking and balancing each other, and no true ruler of the God Realm appeared. Even my father, the God of Destruction, only had slightly higher prestige and more power than the other God Kings, but he was not enough to firmly suppress them."
"However, after Tang San rose to power, he quickly became the true ruler of the God Realm. Tang San's lineage, including Tang Wulin, Huo Yuhao, Tang Wulin, Tang San's parents, and the Seven Devils, allowed Tang San to firmly control the power of the God Realm..."
Gu Linyuan pondered.
Although he was disgusted by Tang San's process of taking control of the God Realm, the result was that Tang San became the de facto ruler of the God Realm.
Tang San represents humanity.
Perhaps, in this world, only humans and dragons, two powerful yet completely different races, are qualified to reach the pinnacle.
The history depicted in the original storyline also illustrates this point.
Humans are strong because they are inherently weak but learn through experience. Dragons are strong because they are born with knowledge and possess incredibly powerful physical bodies.
Even though these two races are favored by heaven and earth, heaven and earth have also placed shackles on them, preventing them from being completely invincible. Moreover, the weaknesses of both races are extremely fatal.
But now, Gu Linyuan felt that he had found a truly broad and promising path.
If this path is successful, then Gu Linyuan's future surpassing the Dragon God will not be just empty talk.
This is an invincible path.
"Half-human, half-dragon body, Gu Yuena, you've really given me a great gift."
Gu Linyuan said slowly.
This gift is too precious.
If he were to cultivate his half-human, half-dragon body to its peak, combining the advantages of both dragons and humans, and with the inheritance and support of his parents, Life and Destruction, Gu Linyuan had no idea how extraordinary he would become!
Gu Linyuan stopped thinking about it and focused his mind on feeling the changes within himself.
