CHAPTER 610: CHAPTER 353: THE PRINCESS WHO SELLS OUT HER FATHER

"Mother, do you have any solutions?"

Seeing Ophelia, the Great Angel Leader, retract her hand from the black light, Ilya had some hope.

After a discussion between the siblings, they unanimously decided to invite their own maternal elders to see if they could alleviate the unknown pain their father was experiencing during his slumber.

Ancient Golden Dragons and Ancient Silver Dragons had already come to see, but they were all at a loss for Noah’s current problem, only suggesting temporary observation. Now, Ilya’s mother, a Blazing Angel from Heaven, was the last hope of the Three Holy Sons.

"This is the purest form of negative emotion."

Ophelia also frowned. No one could leave with a straight face in front of the black light cocoon into which Noah had transformed, especially after personally feeling it. No matter how powerful or resolute a being was, they would feel uncomfortable.

"You don’t have any means to dispel or alleviate it either?"

Seeing his mother’s tone and expression, having already consulted several Ancient Dragons and witnessing the states they would show after probing, Ilya felt somewhat disappointed.

"You should know that besides those filthy evil beings from the lower planes, no other creature would like negative emotions."

Even after retracting her hand, Ophelia still couldn’t relax her frown; the impact of that negative emotion had been digested by her.

With her level of power and mental will, she could resist these. Her current discomfort wasn’t due to mental shock but confusion regarding the issue her companion was facing.

She couldn’t quite understand how Noah, who rarely left his home world, had accumulated such a massive amount of negative emotion, especially when it erupted at the critical moment of his ascent into slumber.

"What’s wrong with my father? Why is he troubled by such immense negative emotions? Could he have been cursed by the Abyss or Hell?"

Ilya asked.

"No, I didn’t detect any aura of the Abyss or Purgatory on him. This has nothing to do with the lower planes, but I want to tell you, even the evil creatures of the lower planes wouldn’t like the negative emotions on your father."

Ophelia dismissed her offspring’s groundless speculation with absolute certainty,

"Those filthy creatures prefer souls torn and twisted by negative emotions, not pure despair. Understand?"

Seeing the look his mother gave him, Ilya realized something. He vaguely understood,

"This isn’t aimed at my father by the lower planes but stems from my father’s own reasons. Even the most powerful Evil Demon Lords have no way to wield such pure negative emotions?"

"Exactly, even the Evil Gods truly need souls."

Just like all creatures need salt to maintain their physical activity, no matter how lacking in salt a creature is, they can’t withstand being enveloped in refined salt.

This is similar to Noah’s current situation. In pursuit of more delicious souls, the evil beings from the lower planes employ various means of torture to give birth to extreme negative emotions, which have now materialized and completely enveloped Noah.

Even the Evil Demon Lords, who excel at manipulating souls and inducing negative emotions, would be doomed if they encountered such a situation.

"So where exactly did these negative emotions come from?"

Ilya looked at the black light cocoon in front of him, already having a rough guess in his mind.

"You need to ask your father which great being bestowed this blessing upon him."

Ophelia’s expression gradually calmed because there seemed to be nothing to worry about following such reasoning.

Even the strongest evil spirits in the lower planes couldn’t produce such pure despair. Negative emotions still need a soul as their carrier.

This seemingly impossible and almost illogical occurrence could only be achieved by an existence of that level. And for this power to appear at Noah’s critical moment of transformation, and not just once, the answer was quite clear.

"It’s a trial given to my father by the Dragon King."

"Otherwise, I really can’t think of any other reason."

Ophelia lifted her head, the deeply hidden worry in her eyes receding like a tide, replaced with an interested expression. This Great Angel Leader began to seriously observe Noah, whose rough form could be vaguely seen in the black light cocoon,

"This might be one of the reasons your father can continuously transform, growing into an Ancestor Dragon. Though twisted and extremely dangerous, this power also has a unique tempering effect on the soul. If you’re willing to endure and take some risks, you can experience it a few more times."

"The reason for becoming an Ancestor Dragon?"

As Ophelia’s words fell, not only did the white light burst from Ilya’s eyes, but Terramus also surged with golden light all over his body.

Even Scadilo, who was being nagged by an Ancient Silver Dragon, immediately turned her little head to look at her father enveloped by the black cocoon, a look of intrigue appearing on her delicate face.

The Ancient Silver Dragon, who had been chattering with the Ice Princess, similarly reacted to this statement. His old face, weathered by a thousand years of trial and suffering, suddenly turned to the Ancestor Golden Dragon known as the Holy Dragon, his gaze changing at that moment.

This transformation was also keenly noticed by Ice Princess Scadilo. The little princess’s silver eyes swirled around, and her face blossomed into a radiant smile like a white lotus in snow, luminous and pure, exuding an aura of innocence and flawlessness.
