This blade was fast, so fast that even the Fire Dragon King could only see a scarlet afterimage.
Just then, a layer of water curtain suddenly appeared in front of the Fire Dragon King. This water curtain was clearly very thin, not even the thickness of a piece of paper, but when Xu Yang slashed at it, it felt as if he was cutting cotton, without any force at all. All the power from his blade was absorbed by the water curtain, turning into ripples that dissipated all the force.
Seeing this, the Fire Dragon King flashed away, distancing himself from Xu Yang.
But Xu Yang ignored the Fire Dragon King, instead turning his head to look to the side. There, a blue phantom had appeared at some point. The phantom was also dragon-shaped, but its body length reached ten meters, and its condition was clearly much better than the Fire Dragon King's.
The blue dragon was not burly, but gave a slender, beautiful feeling. The sapphire-like scales, in the golden-red environment, rose and fell like flowing water.
Seeing the dragon, Xu Yang instantly thought of the Water Dragon King, who had also died next door. However, he didn't expect that, as fallen Beast Gods, the Water Dragon King's condition would be so much better than the Fire Dragon King's, and that she could still mobilize the power of water.
Moreover, he felt a different kind of aura from that water curtain, one that he had never encountered on water-attribute Soul Masters and Soul Beasts before.
Xu Yang guessed that this should be the difference between gods and humans. If the settings in his memory were correct, most of the gods in the God Realm possessed their own authorities. For example, the Sea God was a god who controlled the authority of the sea, the Angel God was a god who controlled the sky and part of the Sun's authority, and the Asura God controlled slaughter and judgment, and so on.
Since the Fire Dragon King and Water Dragon King were at least Second Level Gods before their deaths, it meant that they also possessed their own authorities.
He just didn't know whether this authority was bestowed by heaven and earth, or whether authority was the law, something that needed to be comprehended by oneself.
In his previous life, Xu Yang had read many settings. Many cultivation systems, to a certain extent, had the concept of comprehending the laws. He just didn't know whether the Douluo God Realm's subordinate systems involved the cultivation of laws. This was a question he had always pondered.
How exactly to become a god, perhaps today there would be an answer.
"Human, can you spare Zhao Yan?! I apologize to you on its behalf!"
The Water Dragon King's silver bell-like voice rang out. Her gaze towards Xu Yang also held a hint of apology. Her voice was so gentle and refreshing that it instantly won Xu Yang's favor.
"Yue Jiang, you don't need to plead with this human brat. We are just eking out a living now. My wisp of remnant soul can't even last for tens of thousands of years before it completely dissipates." The Fire Dragon King's somewhat exasperated voice rang out.
"Tens of thousands of years, as expected of a god,"
So the Fire Dragon King was called Zhao Yan, and the Water Dragon King was called Yue Jiang.
Xu Yang revealed a look of realization, but his expression remained vigilant, because he could feel a threat of death from Yue Jiang, which meant that her remnant soul had the power to kill him.
"Human, you don't need to be so vigilant. I do have the ability to kill you, but in my current state, I estimate that I myself wouldn't be in a good condition. I still want to last a little longer, after all, I still have things I haven't done yet!" Yue Jiang ignored Zhao Yan's words and turned to look at Xu Yang, she had already seen through Xu Yang's thoughts, and said softly.
"I don't believe what you say!"
Xu Yang's eyes were wary, his right hand gripped the Sun Sacred Blade tightly, and the God of Slaughter Domain on it was constantly compressed, now condensed to the tip of the blade. The tip of the Sun Sacred Blade had completely turned scarlet, and the domain seemed to have changed as well. The Killing Intent emanating from it made even Yue Jiang, the former Beast God, feel terrified.
"The Dragon Race doesn't bother lying, especially since we are both Dragon Kings!" Yue Jiang said sincerely.
"With just a few words, why should I believe you!" Xu Yang looked disdainful.
"How about this! I see that your Spiritual Power has reached a critical point, just one step away from spiritualizing your consciousness into a god, turning your soul into a Nascent Soul, and your Spiritual Power into Nascent Soul Power. I can teach you the cultivation method of the Nascent Soul. You must know that the Nascent Soul is the key to becoming a god." Yue Jiang was not angry, and said softly.
"Yue Jiang, you can't..." Zhao Yan wanted to question Yue Jiang after hearing her words, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Yue Jiang's cold eyes, so the words that came to his lips were swallowed back. He knew the temper of the person in front of him. Don't look at her as the Water Dragon King, but when she got angry, even he, the Fire Dragon King, couldn't compare. In his current state, he would definitely be beaten black and blue, so it was better to shut up obediently.
"You said that I'm only one step away from achieving the Nascent Soul, what do I need your method for, at most it will just take a little more time!"
To be honest, Xu Yang was actually tempted. The most important thing in cultivation was the method, everything else was secondary. He was able to have his current cultivation because he created many cultivation methods himself, which allowed him to progress rapidly, even beyond common sense. Without a method, if he wanted to improve, he could only use stupid methods or rely on his own accumulation bit by bit. However, stupid methods and relying on his own accumulation not only took a long time, but also easily caused an unstable foundation, making it very difficult to achieve anything.
The Douluo Continent had been passed down for countless years, and the basic framework of the Soul Master system had already been constructed. In addition, with the memories of his previous life, Xu Yang was very confident in cultivation below the level of god, but he didn't have much confidence in cultivation above the level of god. After all, he had never learned relevant knowledge, and it was simply too difficult to create something out of thin air.
Now that he had the opportunity to obtain the cultivation method of the Nascent Soul, how could he not be tempted? However, he was afraid that the Water Dragon King on the opposite side was playing tricks. He could see that the Water Dragon King in front of him was deep-minded and definitely had her own plans. He didn't want to be fooled.
"Of course there is no problem for you to break through on your own, but have you thought about the time it will take? Don't look at the difference as just a small step, but in your state, it will take at least a hundred years to completely transform. If you can afford to wait, you can refuse my proposal." Yue Jiang said with a smile, as if she had Xu Yang in her grasp.
"Not enough!" Xu Yang was silent for a while, but finally gave in and said directly, "I still want to know something about gods. What is the difference between having a god position and not having one?! What does a god position represent, and what is authority?!"
"I didn't expect you to know so much, even authority!" Yue Jiang and Zhao Yan looked surprised. They really didn't expect it. The two dragons stared at Xu Yang for a while, and Yue Jiang said, "Gods are divided into six levels according to their cultivation: God Level, True God Level, Super God Level, Main God Level, Half-Step God King Level, and God King Level. According to god positions, they are divided into God Officer, Third Level God, Second Level God, First Level God, and God King.
"And my cultivation before I died was Main God, which is equivalent to a First Level God in the God Realm.
"As for the difference between having a god position and not having one, the main difference lies in authority. Authority is granted to gods by the will of the universe, and the key to obtaining a god position is faith..."
