How long have you been cultivating?
"Only about a year."
The Dragon God's gaze suddenly contracted.
He stared intently at Su Ming, noticing that he didn't seem to be lying – his tone was very casual.
One year!
Cultivating the Asura authority, from nothing to approaching the quasi-God King level – was this human?
"You mean, if you had the Asura God's origin to aid your comprehension, you truly have confidence in comprehending a God King-level Asura authority?"
Countless thoughts were churning in the Dragon God's mind at this moment.
Given the situation of his main body, cooperating with someone wouldn't involve full disclosure. Saying he had one God King-level authority would imply keeping at least three in reserve. Plus a Supreme God King-level authority, only then could he ensure that ownership of the newly opened God Realm remained in his own hands.
"This Su Ming might not have the intention of seizing the God Realm. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so actively collecting eight God King-level authorities."
"But he can't imagine that his main body has guarded against this."
"The faster he prepares, the smoother the main body's plan will go."
As for the possibility of Su Ming seizing control of his main body's God Realm, in the Dragon God's view, the success rate was nearly zero.
Only he himself knew how cautious he was.
If so, he could afford to give Su Ming some help.
The Asura God's divine seat origin...
A divine seat origin contains the essential power of a deity. Generally, a deity would not leave their original power outside.
The Asura God would be even less likely to do so.
If it were someone else, perhaps they wouldn't know where to find the Asura God's divine seat origin.
But the Dragon God just knew.
"If you want to find Asura's divine seat origin, I know of one place."
A look of surprise appeared on Su Ming's face.
He was genuinely surprised.
This Dragon God, as expected, knew a lot.
"Do you know why Asura separated the Rakshasa God's divine seat?"
Hearing this, Su Ming said, "Wasn't it for the proxy method?"
"That should have been adapting to the situation. Actually, the key reason for separating the Rakshasa divine seat was that he couldn't control that portion of power."
"Although the Rakshasa portion wasn't strong – only First-Class God level after separation – adding it to the Asura authority significantly enhanced Asura – even qualitative change, in fact. It's just that the killing intent was mixed with intense evil resentment, which severely corroded Asura himself."
As he spoke, the Dragon God also thought of himself.
He, too, was mentally divided.
In one of the many histories of the Dragon God he had created, the Dragon God was moody, his cultivation flawed, his power mixed with a crazy will. The Golden Dragon King's subsequent crazy thoughts also inherited this from the Dragon God.
This was not false.
The Rakshasa authority mastered by the Asura God was similar to the Dragon God's crazy thoughts.
"You mean, the Rakshasa God's divine seat contains the Asura God's origin?" Su Ming asked, puzzled.
"Of course not. The Rakshasa God's divine seat is just the Rakshasa portion, only First-Class God in strength. It doesn't contain any of Asura's origin," the Dragon God said. "What I'm talking about is that before Asura separated the Rakshasa divine seat, he often lost control. So, he asked me to help peel him off a portion of his origin, weakening himself to maintain his sanity."
Hearing this, Su Ming's eyes lit up.
There was actually such a story?
"Where did you store that Asura God's origin, Senior?"
"Far away, yet right before your eyes," the Dragon God said.
Su Ming's gaze was condensed.
His spiritual power rapidly spread out, beginning to sense the surroundings.
"It's not in Dragon Valley. It's in me."
"Hmm?"
Su Ming was puzzled.
"Do you think the history of me being killed by Asura was an active act by the Asura God?" the Dragon God asked.
He looked at Su Ming with a mysterious smile.
Su Ming shivered.
The Dragon God was not a good person.
For his own sake, he had directly sacrificed the entire Spirit Beast clan. For countless millennia, the Spirit Beast clan had been unable to become gods.
That was too ruthless.
And fabricating various different histories of the Dragon God – that also demonstrated his cunning.
"You mean, your death at Asura's hands was also one of your false histories, and the key to creating this false history was the Asura origin you stripped from the Asura God?"
"Roughly, but some points need correction. I truly died at Asura's hands," the Dragon God said. "The Asura origin I sealed inside the Golden Dragon King's body."
Su Ming was stunned.
What?
"You heard correctly," the Dragon God said. "However, it's not the Asura origin itself, but the power of that origin that I buried deep within the Golden Dragon King's bloodline memory."
Su Ming's brow furrowed deeply.
"After I stripped the Asura origin, I consumed it. That was also Asura's intention. After all, he couldn't just watch his own origin fall into someone else's hands and be kept by them," the Dragon God said helplessly.
"However, I was 'wounded' by that origin. I fabricated that wound into a memory of the Asura Sword Qi severing my body, burying it deep within the bloodline."
"You can't merge the Asura origin itself. You can only use the Golden Dragon King's bloodline to trace back to that memory, and then, through the resonance within the memory, comprehend that Asura Sword Qi."
"Don't worry. Unlike the Asura Sword Qi that Asura himself uses, the mystery of the Asura Sword Qi in that memory is fully exposed."
Su Ming stood in place, lost in thought.
If he remembered correctly, when Tang Wulin entered the Dragon Tomb in Dragon Valley, he had witnessed that memory – the scene of the Dragon God being slain by the Asura God's sword Qi.
So that was it.
That was also fabricated.
He had also wondered why the Dragon God would fabricate that scene. Since the Dragon God had done it, there must have been a deeper purpose.
Only, Su Ming couldn't yet guess the Dragon God's intention.
"The Golden Dragon King is currently sealed in the God Realm," Su Ming said flatly.
"That's beyond my ability to interfere," the Dragon God said, offering no additional promises.
Revealing this point to Su Ming was already the greatest help he could give.
Remember, this memory was itself the key to one of his major plans.
Now that he had told Su Ming, that plan was bound to declare bankruptcy.
A pity.
However, it wouldn't be a loss if it could accelerate his main body's plan.
Since his main body wanted to recreate the God Realm, there must be a major event requiring the power of the God Realm...
What the Dragon God didn't know was that everything he had heard from Su Ming during this meeting was false.
It was not his main body who wanted to create a God Realm, but Su Ming.
Su Ming left Dragon Valley.
This time, he had obtained an important piece of intelligence.
"Can you actually resonate with the Asura origin sword Qi through the Golden Dragon King's bloodline memory?"
He marveled at the Dragon God's methods while thinking how to obtain that memory.
"Douluo 3..."
The Dragon God was still at a disadvantage for lacking the Trinity.
The Dragon God at this time node didn't know what would happen in the future.
In the present, the Golden Dragon King had naturally not yet escaped.
However, in the future, the Golden Dragon King had already been packaged by Tang San and given to Tang Wulin.
"I was a bit too decisive when I killed Tang Wulin back then."
