"Can you feel the aura of the Yin Yang Chaos Phoenix?" Shi Quan asked the soul spirits in his mind.
"Boss, the Yin Yang Chaos Phoenix did not sacrifice itself; it merely passed its power on to you," Tian Meng said first.
Yin Lao then added, "Your Majesty, I feel that the Yin Yang Chaos Phoenix is not dead. After giving you its power, it seems to have fallen into a deep slumber, returning to the Earth's core with an extremely faint Life aura."
"Is that so?" Shi Quan looked down at the ground. Previously, when he was absorbing the Yin Yang Chaos Phoenix's power, his perception range was limited, so he hadn't noticed this.
"Let's check the System's reward first."
With a thought, Shi Quan's gaze fell upon the System's storage space.
Senzu Bean: A miraculous food from the Dragon Ball World, possessing extremely powerful restorative abilities. As long as one is not dead, it can instantly restore stamina and energy, bringing the body back to its optimal state.
Note: This reward includes one Senzu Bean seed and ten Senzu Beans!
"Senzu Beans from Dragon Ball?!" Shi Quan's eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy.
As expected of the integrated Spirit Master treasure chest, it actually yielded such a treasure. From the description, the Senzu Bean's recovery also includes energy, which means one Senzu Bean can be treated as an extra Life.
And most importantly, this reward also included a Senzu Bean seed!
As long as he planted the seed, he would continuously obtain Senzu Beans.
"Extract Senzu Bean."
With a thought, ten crystal-clear, emerald-green Senzu Beans and a dark yellow seed appeared in Shi Quan's hand.
"These are Senzu Beans." Shi Quan picked up one of them and examined it carefully. It looked similar to an ordinary broad bean, making it hard to imagine that such a common bean could contain such powerful energy.
"When I go back, I'll share some with Ling Ling and the others. Senzu Beans are precious. Although the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is good, it's unguarded. It's best to take some of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's spring water and Earth to plant them in the hundred treasure pouch."
As he pondered, with a thought, Shi Quan's figure soared into the air. The surrounding air transformed into a pushing force, propelling Shi Quan's figure upwards.
Whoosh.
"Shi Quan!"
Shi Quan's figure, which had just flown out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, suddenly retreated sharply, his heart also startled. spirit rings had already appeared beneath him, adopting a combat stance.
Someone was actually in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. With his current mental force, he could easily detect even a Titled Douluo, yet he hadn't detected any abnormalities before coming out.
This sudden voice inevitably made Shi Quan somewhat wary.
"Don't be nervous, I have no ill will towards you."
The calm voice sounded again, and Shi Quan's gaze settled on Gu Yuena. Her exquisite figure was perfect, as if crafted by heaven.
"Who are you?" Shi Quan looked warily at the silver figure before him. He was not in the mood to admire a beauty right now.
The silver figure had no energy fluctuations around her, looking like an ordinary person. But could an ordinary person evade his mental force detection? Of course not. This could only mean that the person in front of him was terrifyingly strong.
The silver figure introduced herself: "You can call me Gu Yuena."
"Gu Yuena?" Hearing this name, Shi Quan's pupils involuntarily contracted, and another title for the silver figure immediately surfaced in his mind: "One of the Dragon God's Clones—the Silver Dragon King!"
"What do you want with me?" Shi Quan's figure slowly descended to the ground, and his spirit rings also retracted. He knew that since Gu Yuena was here, she must have already absorbed the dragon god's heart, and he was definitely no match for Gu Yuena now.
Moreover, Gu Yuena had said she had no ill will towards him. Since that was the case, there was no need to be nervous.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena said, "It seems you've guessed my identity."
Shi Quan nodded, "I sensed your existence from the Dragon God Dragon Soul."
"I came to personally thank you for your kindness to the Dragon Clan, and to see the current Human World." A captivating smile appeared on Gu Yuena's face. "I just didn't expect to coincidentally encounter your promotion to Child of Destiny. I simply helped you mask your aura, which I suppose was a great help to you."
"Child of Destiny?" Shi Quan looked at Gu Yuena in confusion.
Gu Yuena's smile remained unchanged, "It seems you don't quite understand what a Child of Destiny is?"
"Please enlighten me."
"When certain specific attributes, such as Life, Earth, Water, mental force, Yin, Yang—when one of these attributes surpasses the known extreme, there is a chance to gain the planet's recognition. Once recognized by the planet, one can achieve a Breakthrough and become a Child of Destiny."
Gu Yuena pointed at Shi Quan and continued, "You are in this situation. The power of that old Phoenix contains the Origin force of Douluo Star. After you absorbed its power, its power completely transformed the power within you. The possibility of a single attribute advancing to Child of Destiny is extremely low, but you possess Life, Earth, Yin, Yang, and mental force attributes within you. The compatibility of these attributes brought your potential to become a Child of Destiny to an extremely high level. As long as you absorbed its power, you would 100% advance to Child of Destiny."
"Generally speaking, most Child of Destiny positions are vacant. Unless absolutely necessary, a planet will not give birth to a Child of Destiny. For a Child of Destiny to be born, there are only two possibilities: one is the planet's autonomous selection for Legacy, and the other is your kind of natural Breakthrough."
"Legacy is when the planet needs to choose the best among the less ideal candidates when it needs to advance itself, and it must find someone to lead the planet towards greater strength."
"Your kind of natural Breakthrough means the planet must choose you. Your situation is an existence rarely seen throughout history. Because you can break the planet's limits and possess the potential to lead the planet to a higher level. Thus, the planet itself doesn't need to accumulate for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years to reach its own limit before making a selection."
"Becoming a Child of Destiny is equivalent to being the core of the entire planet. The entire planet's focus will be on you, assisting your growth. Your Luck and Cultivation speed will receive astonishing improvements until you break the World's limit, at which point it will slow down."
"The current Cultivation limit for humans in this World is level ninety-nine, and for Spirit Beasts, it is nine hundred ninety-nine thousand years. Breaking the limit, according to your human terms, is to become a God. You belong to a natural Breakthrough, breaking previous boundaries, which means you possess the potential for natural ascension to Godhood."
"After you become a God, Douluo Star itself will also receive feedback, and the Life on the planet will then have the opportunity to achieve Godhood under the nourishment of these energies."
"Wait a moment." Shi Quan interrupted, confused. "Can't Douluo Star itself give birth to deities? If I'm not mistaken, Sea God and Angel God were deities born autonomously from Douluo Star, right?"
Gu Yuena sneered, pointed to the sky, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, and then explained: "What you said is indeed true. Douluo Star has indeed had people achieve Godhood, but most of them were not natural Breakthroughs. Instead, they came from another World, which is the so-called God Realm's guidance."
"Especially the Angel God and Sea God you mentioned, Gods who achieved their status through Power Of Faith. Calling them traitors to the World would not be an exaggeration. They drew Power Of Faith from the Life of this World to become Gods, yet they went to the God Realm. Furthermore, relying on the Legacies left in the Lower Realm, they are still continuously drawing Power Of Faith from this World, plundering the nourishment that should have been fed back to the planet's core by the Life of this planet World, to promote the World's further growth."
"The God Realm, in reality, is like a leech pressing down on this World for various planets, drawing its nourishment, and restricting the growth and development of various planet Worlds!"
"As a Child of Destiny, the responsibility you bear is to elevate the World. When your strength rises to God King, this planet will also achieve a Breakthrough, becoming an existence on par with the God Realm."
"Beneath the God Realm, there are many Worlds like Douluo Star. For the God Realm, these planet Worlds are resource planets that can be drawn upon for nourishment to promote their own growth and Breakthrough. In human terms, they are like food."
"And now, among these 'foods,' a threat has suddenly appeared, not only refusing to be consumed but preparing to leap up and become an existence equal to it. Do you think the God Realm will allow this to happen?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Quan's expression became more solemn. "So, you mean you helped me conceal my Child of Destiny aura because you were worried about being discovered and eliminated by the Gods of the God Realm."
"Exactly." Gu Yuena nodded.
Shi Quan's eyes narrowed slightly. After a moment of thought, he said, "If I choose to accept the God Realm's guidance and strengthen the God Realm, the Gods should not act against me, right?"
Gu Yuena's expression remained unchanged, she simply continued calmly, "What you said is indeed true, but it's only a possibility. If I hadn't helped you conceal your aura, the Gods would not have given you any chance at all. For any existence that could threaten the God Realm, they would eradicate it immediately."
"Furthermore, if you choose to accept the God Realm's guidance, you must accept the God Realm's divine force. The God Realm will then impose restrictions on you, and your future path of growth will also be limited. Breaking through will become more difficult. However, helping Douluo Star advance is different, because you achieve Godhood through your own power, and your future path will be smoother."
"The question is, are you willing to be constrained by the God Realm?"
At this point, Gu Yuena stopped speaking, her beautiful purple eyes fixed intently on Shi Quan, awaiting his answer.
Shi Quan quietly looked at Gu Yuena, contemplating the truthfulness and purpose of her words.
The matter of achieving Godhood having limitations could actually be seen from the original work; otherwise, why would so many deities in the God Realm pass on their powers to others?
However, Shi Quan couldn't fully believe Gu Yuena's words, after all, it was his first time interacting with her, and he wasn't clear about her character setting. After all, he only had detailed information about Douluo Dalu 1, and knew little about the content of Douluo Dalu 2 and 3, and had mostly forgotten it.
