The Growth of a God-Chapter 656 - 14: Birth of the Mad Dragon
In the alchemists' system, the quality of elixirs is divided into nine transitions from one to nine.
First transition is Mortal Rank, third transition is Fine Art, fifth transition is Immortal Grade, seventh transition and above is Divine Grade... 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
And elixirs of the ninth transition level can directly act on the gods themselves.
Therefore, when the Dragon Remains consumed the "Nine Revolutions Soul Reviving Pill" painstakingly refined by the Pixiu, a new soul was born within it.
That was the Dragon Soul, the Divine Soul, a god resurrected from death!
In any world, in any space-time, coming back to life is an act that challenges the order of the world.
Let alone being a god resurrected by the Pixiu, an ancient Dragon God that has been dead for who knows how many years.
The moment the ancient Dragon God was reborn, celestial calamity descended upon Gunlong Village.
A force from a higher dimension tore the entrance of Gunlong Village apart, exposing it to the view of the new era's gods.
Soon after, various celestial calamities appeared in Gunlong Village, guiding the new era's gods to explore this suddenly emerged fragment of the Divine Kingdom.
Perhaps curious about the resurrected god...
Or perhaps wanting to obtain the Nine Revolutions Soul Reviving Pill...
Regardless of the original intent, many gods chose to explore Gunlong Village during that time — to explore this fragment of the shattered Divine Kingdom shrouded by celestial calamity.
Clues regarding the Golden Era also appeared before the gods for the first time at this time.
When the gods learned that before their current era, there was another even more prosperous Golden Era, their first reaction was absolute disbelief.
However, upon knowing the Golden Era had perished, their second reaction was fear.
They could hardly imagine what kind of disaster could annihilate such a powerful Divine Kingdom?
And the mighty Dragon God, who could create such a Divine Kingdom, how did they die to leave only remains?
If not for the Pixiu refining the "Nine Revolutions Soul Reviving Pill" to resurrect those remains, perhaps the gods wouldn't even know of the Golden Era's existence.
A mixture of shock and fear spread among the gods, eventually evolving into a pursuit to slay the Pixiu and the Dragon Soul.
The newborn Dragon Soul didn't know what happened at all and only followed its instincts to counterattack the gods pursuing it.
Thus, the nickname "Godslaying Mad Dragon" spread widely among the gods.
Fierce, ruthless, formidable in battle, yet extremely bloodthirsty...
During this process, the various traits exhibited by the Dragon Soul made the Pixiu despairingly realize that what he resurrected was not his elder brother who once took care of him attentively.
This was just a Mad Dragon that, in the wrong time and place, luckily gained part of the Dragon God's power.
The only relief was that this Mad Dragon was not a mindless Divine Abomination.
It recognized the Pixiu and held a great affection for this tribesman who resurrected it, regarding him as an elder.
Unfortunately, the Pixiu knew he had done wrong and also knew this Mad Dragon was an abomination that should never have been born.
Whether it was out of the duty of an elder or unwillingness to see his elder brother's corpse and remains continue to be desecrated...
At that time, the Pixiu made a move that now seems extremely wrong — he wanted to kill this Mad Dragon again.
Relying on his excellent talent as an alchemist, the Pixiu refined a poison pill specifically targeting the Divine Soul — the Seven Extremes Soul Scattering Pill!
Unfortunately, the Pixiu clearly underestimated the strength of the Dragon Soul and the mysteriousness of the Nine Revolutions Soul Reviving Pill he had refined.
Having swallowed the Seven Extremes Soul Scattering Pill, the Dragon Soul not only did not die, but its Divine Soul split into two aspects, each inheriting part of the Dragon God's memories and abilities.
Just at this moment, the siege on the Dragon Soul by the gods came as expected.
The final result of that great battle was that the gods stopped speaking of the Dragon Soul from then on, silently continuing to seek all kinds of clues about the Golden Era.
Meanwhile, the Pixiu took the opportunity to take the most important treasure from a dragon's body — the Dragon Pearl, and vanished in the Disaster Realm.
As for why the Pixiu took the Dragon Pearl, the reason is simple?
On the one hand, it was indeed because he didn't want the Dragon Pearl to fall into the hands of the gods.
But on the other hand, it was also because the good side of the Dragon Soul resided in the Dragon Pearl.
That was the first Old Dragon — a Huanglong born from the Dragon Pearl!
"Elder brother... was a dragon born from the Dragon Pearl?"
Hearing this claim for the first time, Hundred Eyed Dragon and Feng Xi couldn't help but widen their eyes in disbelief.
"What about me?"
"Was I also born from the Dragon Pearl?"
Watching the incessantly questioning Golden Spirit, the Pixiu silently shook his head.
"No, to be more accurate, your elder brother is that very Dragon Pearl."
"Meanwhile, you and Hundred Eyed Dragon have different backgrounds, involving some... err, excessive actions your elder brother did back then..."
Hearing the Pixiu's hesitant words, the Old Dragon straightforwardly rolled his eyes.
It was only at this moment that Feng Xi noticed that familiar carefree attitude from the Old Dragon.
"A dark past is a dark past, there's no need to cover it up for me."
"Everyone has their youth, and will do things that are embarrassing to think about in hindsight."
"However, I do not feel regretful because of it; on the contrary, I am very grateful for the choices I made back then."
Speaking of his dark past, the reinvigorated Old Dragon candidly said.
"To put it simply, I was very unconvinced at that time..."
"So, just like Hundred Eyed Dragon now, in a moment of impulse, I returned to Gunlong Village, then found the hidden evil thoughts."
"I was transformed from the Dragon God's Dragon Pearl, while the evil thoughts continued to possess the Dragon God's body shell."
"The battle between the two of us once again drew the attention of the gods, sparking a series of subsequent clashes."
"The final outcome was that the Dragon God's body shell was dismembered by the gods, and I took advantage of the chaos to kill the evil thoughts that escaped from the body shell."
Saying this, the Old Dragon regretfully shook his head.
"Yet, just like the evil thoughts said, he and I originally share a special two-sided relationship."
"As long as I do not die, he will be reborn again and again, repeatedly appearing in the shattered Divine Kingdom of the Dragon God."
Gently batting his eyes, Hundred Eyed Dragon, who was as obedient as Golden Spirit at the moment, seemed a bit enlightened.
"It seems you have already guessed?"
Shooting a glance at Hundred Eyed Dragon, the Old Dragon continued.
"After resolving the evil thoughts, naturally, Uncle Nine and I couldn't just watch those gods desecrate the Dragon God's remains."
"Thus, I appeared as the 'Godslaying Mad Dragon' to draw the gods' attention, while Uncle Nine seized the opportunity to take away the two most critical parts from the remains — the Dragon Eye and the Reversed Scale."
As soon as the Old Dragon spoke these words, everyone present understood.
Since the Dragon Pearl could birth the Old Dragon, it seemed only natural that the Dragon Eye would birth the Hundred Eyed Dragon and the Reversed Scale would birth the Golden Spirit.
Only Feng Xi, after a brief moment of being dazed, instinctively clenched something in his pocket.
It was also an eyeball, a Divine Eye from the future.
Of course, Feng Xi now understood the true nature of this Divine Eye — the Dragon God's eye.
Or in other words, this Divine Eye was precisely the future Hundred Eyed Dragon.
Yet, with this revelation, a new question arose — how did the current Hundred Eyed Dragon become the future version?
And what exactly happened to the future Old Dragon, did he recognize me at the time?
Why did he never mention the existence of Golden Spirit and Hundred Eyed Dragon?
