Chapter 86 - Dragon God (1/2)
A/N: So... about the talk. I'll just give an official announcement that it'll happen at the Dragon Valley. I don't want to just randomly bring up the talk like that after all. I want the big reveal!! At the same time, a few things that you guys have been waiting for will happen at the Dragon Valley as well. However, that's enough spoilers for now.
”The final stage will be starting tomorrow. Are you sure you want to hold back against them?” asked Gu Yue as laid on Huang Yu's ċhėst.
Gu Yue had just finished a very effective strength recovery session with Huang Yu as of now and was resting with him. She definitely didn't do it for the pŀėȧsurė obviously.
She was just recovering her injuries.
”Yeah. I wanna try out some new stuff I've learned,”
Huang Yu wasn't lying about this. He was genuinely unsure of how strong he was when he merely made use of his current cultivation base. He wanted to try to use his now converted to Rank 30 cultivation along with all the laws he had comprehended to fight.
That meant no Limiter Removal, no martial spirit, no King's Wisdom, and last but not least…
No using his physical energy as well.
That meant that Huang Yu would technically be going into his fights with the body of an ordinary human, with only his cultivation base to supplement him. While his current cultivation base would equate to a normal Rank 60, his true battle prowess may be higher when laws were considered.
He knew that he was far above most of the competition, barring possibly Long Yue if he used his two-word battle armour, should he just use his body and martial arts to battle. Using his martial spirit now would be overkill since not only did he have four hundred-thousand-year spirit rings, but also reached nearly the same level of sword intent integration as he did a few years back inside of the Spirit Ascension Platform.
What did that mean? Well, it meant that Huang Yu could officially annihilate ordinary Titled Douluos at Level 2 of his strength.
”Mmm.”
Gu Yue trusted him. She knew Huang Yu well enough that she knew that he definitely wouldn't do anything that he was unsure of.
”Do you know about Long Yue's martial spirit though?” Gu Yue suddenly asked. She found that this was actually a great opportunity to slowly break the news to him.
”The Mountain Dragon?”
”The Mountain Dragon King.” Gu Yue corrected. ”There's only a one word difference between the two of them but there's a world of difference in their strengths.”
Hearing this, a gleam passed through Huang Yu's eyes. He knew where Gu Yue was going with this.
”So is it supposed to be really powerful?” Huang Yu feigned ignorance.
Gu Yue sighed. ”To explain that, I'll have to go a long way back to the past.”
”Thousands upon thousands of years ago, the Dragon God came into being. He roamed around the universe and finally found a planet to settle on.”
”I'm going to ȧssume that this planet is the one we're on right now?”
An expression of surprise appeared on Gu Yue's face. ”T... that's right. On this planet, he created nine dragons, which are now known as the Nine Dragon Kings. They were his children as well as his subordinates.”
”The Nine Dragon Kings include: The Golden Dragon King, the Mountain Dragon King, the Fire Dragon King, the Water Dragon King, the Earth Dragon King, the Wind Dragon King, the Light Dragon King, the Darkness Dragon King, and the Space Dragon King. They all inherited part of the Dragon God's indomitable power, so all of them were very powerful.”
”Were they Godkings?” Huang Yu asked, particularly interested in this. ”And why only eight clans.”
”To answer the second question, it was because the mountain dragons didn't form a clan; each and every one of them was a king,” Gu Yue answered. ”This world was almost completely covered by the sea when the Dragon God first found it. The Dragon God ordered the mountain dragons to transform into the mountains and rivers to enlarge the living space of the Dragon clan when they were old enough. The Dragon God rewarded them for their sacrifices by making every one of them a king. All the other dragon kings admired them and held them in very high regard.”
Huang Yu was slightly skeptical about the last part of Gu Yue's words. How could any of the dragon kings want to be turned into a piece of land for other people to crap on?
”As for whether any of them were Godkings. None of them managed to reach the level of God King. The only God King of the Dragon Clan was the Dragon God, who had the most impeccable bloodline.”
”However, each and every one of them were still very high-level gods. Huang Yu, do you know the ranks above Rank 100?”
Surprise appeared on Huang Yu's face before he quickly hid them. He shook his head. ”I don't.”
Gu Yue pushed herself up at this time, climbing on top of Huang Yu's ŀȧp as she looked at him with her beautiful eyes.
”When one breaks through to Rank 100, they become a God Officer according to the rankings of the Divine Realm. These are the weakest of Gods, but they're still far beyond anything those before could accomplish.”
”From Rank 101 to 109, one could be considered a third-class god. They could be considered the bottom feeders as well.”
”From Rank 110 to 119, they are second-class gods. Only at this level would one start to obtain respect among the Gods.”
”As for first-class gods, their cultivations are above Rank 120. These are the ones that people could consider true gods. Before this rank, they are still considered pseudo gods, and coincidentally, the Nine Dragon Kings were around this rank as well.”
”Finally, there is the stage of God Kings. These existences are all beyond Rank 150.”
Raising an eyebrow, Huang Yu got up as he closed the distance between both of their faces, causing Gu Yue to blush slightly. ”That's… very interesting…”
Gu Yue chose to get up at this time. ”Well, that's enough story-telling. You should know what I'm trying to tell you about the Mountain Dragon King now right?”
