CHAPTER 342: CHAPTER 342: THE BEGINNING OF DIVINE BODY CONSTRUCTION

Those who have just inherited a first-level god position may hold the title of a first-level god, but they do not possess the corresponding strength. In contrast, you, who have been exposed to the nourishment of a divine body early on, will naturally begin to transform your spirit power into divine power due to the presence of the divine body. Compared to those inheritors who have a divine body but no divine power, you will have a stronger adaptation to the divine body and will naturally be able to exert greater strength!

Moreover, if one day you truly manage to break through to level 100 and achieve godhood, with your divine power and divine body perfectly fused, your combat power could even rival some veteran top-tier second-level gods!

And there’s one more crucial point, which is also a personal wish and selfish desire of mine: if you can achieve a divine body, with the abilities of the divine body, perhaps the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings can retain a wisp of their remnant souls within you, sleeping and being nourished by your gradually assimilating divine power. Perhaps, after a thousand years, they can be revived."

After hearing the Silver Dragon King’s explanation, Xiao Yu finally fully understood her thoughts.

To put it simply, it’s like cooking dumplings for lunch and only needing to buy vinegar to eat them. There’s no need to specially cook a whole meal just for a plate of vinegar.

The former is proactive, while the latter is passive.

Proactive actions can be calculated and anticipated.

Passive matters, on the other hand, often take longer to handle because they usually fall outside your pre-planned scope, making them time-consuming to deal with.

As for the Silver Dragon King’s idea of using the divine body to nurture the remnant souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, Xiao Yu had no objections. After all, they had given him everything, including their remnant souls and remains, which was essentially a literal offering of themselves. So, was it really too much to give them a chance at revival?

"Silver Dragon King, I understand everything you’ve said. So, what should I do now?!"

After fully grasping the Silver Dragon King’s suggestion, Xiao Yu asked her with eager anticipation.

After all, laying the groundwork for the future in this way was incredibly meaningful.

The benefits of completing the construction of the divine body now were simply too great.

Previously, Xiao Yu had been worried about what would happen if he couldn’t inherit a god’s position, given that his future enemies were gods.

But now, the Silver Dragon King’s words had given him a new path to achieving godhood.

Therefore, Xiao Yu naturally wouldn’t refuse the opportunity to advance to a divine body now.

The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings also agreed with the Silver Dragon King’s words.

"Your Majesty, we are willing to fully cooperate with you!"

Hearing this, the Silver Dragon King spoke in a calm tone.

"What you need to do is simple. Didn’t you already successfully absorb the True Dragon Nine Crowns? The True Dragon Nine Crowns, as fragments of the Dragon Kings, can contain an unimaginable amount of energy. Therefore, all you need to do next is channel the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings into the True Dragon Nine Crowns.

By strengthening the True Dragon Nine Crowns, your current semi-divine body will naturally evolve into a divine body through their enhanced power.

Moreover, with the True Dragon Nine Crowns assisting you in suppressing the divine body, you can activate your divine body simply by activating the True Dragon Nine Crowns! It’s similar to how you currently fully activate your semi-divine body. Additionally, as the True Dragon Nine Crowns silently operate within you, your spirit power will naturally evolve into divine power."

"Huh?! It’s that simple? Nothing else?"

Xiao Yu muttered in disbelief.

He had thought that upgrading to a divine body would be incredibly difficult, but the Silver Dragon King made it sound so straightforward.

All he needed to do was go through the process of absorbing the True Dragon Nine Crowns again?!

Hearing Xiao Yu’s words, the Silver Dragon King couldn’t help but snort in exasperation.

"Hmph, simple?! Xiao Yu, you’re making it sound too easy. Do you know how rare and difficult what you consider ’simple’ actually is?

First of all, the True Dragon Nine Crowns alone are no ordinary items. In the entire Douluo Continent, and even in the God Realm, they are unique. Right now, you are the only one in the entire continent who possesses them, and you’ve even perfectly fused them into your body, achieving the Dragon King’s physique that even the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings acknowledge!

Moreover, to achieve a divine body, the True Dragon Nine Crowns are just one part of the equation. You also need the sacrifice of two Dragon Kings’ remains and their remnant souls, as well as my full guidance as the Silver Dragon King. With all these conditions combined, do you still think it’s simple?

If you hadn’t perfectly fused the nine ancient Dragon King fragments of the True Dragon Nine Crowns to achieve the Dragon King’s body and cultivate a semi-divine body, if the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings hadn’t selflessly sacrificed themselves, and if I hadn’t stepped in to help you, would you still think this was simple?"

"..."

Listening to the Silver Dragon King’s lecture, Xiao Yu fell silent, sighing.

It really was true. This chain of events was so intricately linked that if even one step had gone wrong, his current physique upgrade would have been impossible. He would have been left staring at a treasure mountain, unable to use it.

He never thought he’d find himself in a situation where he was unaware of his own circumstances.

Some things were too easily obtained and accomplished, which led him to forget just how precious the things he possessed were.

"Sorry, Silver Dragon King, I was thinking too simplistically."

Hearing Xiao Yu’s words, the Silver Dragon King finally spoke in a calm tone.

"Alright, let’s begin. It took you quite some time to absorb the True Dragon Nine Crowns last time. This time, it might also take a considerable amount of time to complete the evolution of your divine body! Moreover, the completion of the divine body will attract the power of heaven and earth. Fortunately, this lake is deep enough that the power of heaven and earth can’t detect it. Otherwise, I would have had you come to the Star Dou Great Forest to complete the evolution."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu nodded slightly.

Last time, absorbing the True Dragon Nine Crowns took nearly a year.

This time, since he was evolving into a divine body, it might take even longer.

But that was fine. Before leaving, he had mentioned that he would be away for a considerable amount of time.

Therefore, Second Dragon and the others shouldn’t be too worried about him.

Moreover, before leaving, he had satisfied them all to the point where they were even feeling nauseous, so he believed the women wouldn’t be too needy for a while.

Soon, under the Silver Dragon King’s guidance, the Fire Dragon King, the Ice Dragon King, and Wo Long, who had been summoned by Xiao Yu, began to follow the Silver Dragon King’s instructions to help Xiao Yu evolve the True Dragon Nine Crowns.

The Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King slowly and steadily transformed their remains into pure fire and ice attribute energy, infusing it into the True Dragon Nine Crowns to further enhance them.

Meanwhile, Wo Long used his light attribute to stabilize Xiao Yu’s physical condition, ensuring that there were no major fluctuations before the divine body was completed.

The construction of the divine body could not afford even the slightest mistake, so the Silver Dragon King didn’t even continue using the Life Gold to heal herself. Instead, she carefully monitored the progress of Xiao Yu’s divine body evolution.

After all, if Xiao Yu truly succeeded in evolving his divine body, it would also be of great help to her own recovery.
