Beyond the World

"But I think I have an idea of what your physique is." The Dragon God said slowly

He was also confused too but after seeing that, it allowed him to make some guesses.

"Please do, senior." Jiao Heng gestured for him to continue. Even if it's just a clue, it's better than nothing.

"I noticed your physique when you summoned the nine glowing characters."

"If I may ask, can you tell me the origin of those characters?" The Dragon God asked with a solemn expression.

Just like the Creation God of Order, he had never seen anything like it in his life.

If his guess is correct, it must be something that does not belong to the Primal Chaos.

"... I am not sure myself. In fact, I just also learned it recently and haven't mastered some of it." Jiao Heng wasn't lying, it's only been a few days ever since he was in this world and most of his understanding of Nine Character Secrets are from his foreknowledge and use when cultivating.

Due to the tribulations, although his cultivation soared and his use of other secrets also improved, it doesn't mean he mastered all of it.

From what he remembered, Nine Character Secrets are pieces of wisdom scattered in the river of time.

But here's the thing, in Shrouding the Heavens, only the legendary Immortal Emperor can access the river of time and even if it's possible, getting the full version of Nine Character Secrets is still shocking now that he thought about it.

The Immortal Emperor Realm was considered a legendary realm to the point that people who were close to it, started thinking it actually doesn't exist.

Take the Ruthless Emperor for example, in Perfect World, she was someone who was at Half-Step Immortal Emperor yet she can't even glimpse at the realm of Immortal Emperor.

The only one who was actually in that realm was the Corpse Immortal Emperor who split his soul in half until Desolate Heavenly Emperor Shi Hao ascended.

He's not Ye Fan and the origin of the Primal Chaos is obviously lower than that of Shrouding the Heavens so how is it possible for his body to possess it?

Too many questions but no answers.

"Well that's it." Dragon God nodded. He wasn't surprised since even he himself doesn't know it.

The Creation God of Order has already met this young man but he didn't mention anything about the physique which means that even the God of Time doesn't know the origin of the physique.

"From what I see. The nine characters you summoned are closely related to the physique."

"If that isn't enough, the nine characters compliments your control of time laws very well. It's possible that if you reach the level of True God, your mastery of time would already reach the God of Order's level."

Now that's surprising.

The God of Order Xi Ke is born by the fragment of the Ancestral Goddess representing the time laws of the universe.

Reaching his level on time mastery while being a True God means that Jiao Heng has the power to surpass Xi Ke. It's not even the matter of maybe but definitely!

"I see."

"It seems that you're not surprised." The Dragon God floated around.

"No… in fact it was because I'm surprised that I'm speechless. Everything came in too fast." Jiao Heng said with a wry smile.

"That's understandable. Finding out you can surpass a Creation God is indeed something that everyone would be surprised about." Long Yin nodded in agreement.

Jiao Heng fell silent. It's not just that but he remembered when Xi Ke and Mo E appeared on his spiritual sea.

He wasn't dense. Having an opportunity like the Nine Character Secrets is already surprising and he's even sure of reaching the level of True God faster than Yun Che just by using it.

But now he has a legacy of the Creation God of Order who rules over time and in the future, he'll have the power of the Heaven Punishing Divine Emperor too.

This series of coincidence plus the Dragon God's words had now made sure that there must be something behind the scenes.

As for who or what it is, he's not sure and there's really no point in thinking about it now. If that someone can easily take the Nine Character Secrets and put it in his body, then he/she must be an unfathomable character.

The only question is why?

He didn't think he was particularly outstanding but he doesn't really understand the mental gymnastics of these ridiculously powerful people so he has no idea the purpose of making him stronger this fast.

Of course, it could also mean that he's just overthinking it and it was the result of good karma from his past life or something.

Anyway, it's pointless to think about it now.

"Let's skip this topic, senior." Jiao Heng shook his head.

Long Yin nodded, "Of course." After saying that, the soul shone and his voice resounded.

"This is my last gift to you. My soul and my entire essence."

"The Dragon God's Soul, will refine your spirit and soul, giving you powerful mental strength far surpassing that of ordinary humans. Your soul will also gain the attribute of the Dragon God from this."

"The Dragon God's Soul will also allow you to use the Dragon Soul Domain. The same domain I used against you earlier." As he finished, the azure light fused with his body and since Jiao Heng had already beat it earlier, the soul didn't try to suppress or make him submit but fused with him smoothly.

*SHING*

His body was covered in azure light and his physique became even more beautiful, his sword like eyebrows perfectly complimented his perfectly sculpted face. His lustrous white hair started glowing even more, making his aura elegant yet fierce.

If a certain simp dragon sees this, then he would definitely be shocked because Jiao Heng right now closely resembles that of the Dragon Queen.

As if they were made from the same mold. You wouldn't even be able to call them siblings! It's like Jiao Heng was the female version of the Dragon Queen, vice versa.

Seeing this, Long Yin was in a daze as if he recalled something.

After a few moments had passed, the azure light vanished and Jiao Heng's naked figure stood up.

He looked in his body who had gotten taller before summoning a silver robe and covering himself with it.

"Congratulations, Jiao Heng. It seems that my legacy will be in great hands and the Dragon Clan will be great again…" Long Yin replied with a satisfied sigh.

Jiao Heng looked at the Dragon God and opened his lips, "Dragon God, now that the legacy is done. What would you be doing next?"

"Next? There is no next. I've given you everything. The rest is up to you." As he said that, the residual soul's eyes started flickering.

"I see…" Jiao Heng's eyes flashed with sadness.

"Don't worry old man. I would definitely find your daughter and set her free. You can rest assured about this."

Long Yin's eyes widened before bursting into laughter.

"Good, good. Originally I was going to wait for the inheritor of the Heretic God and ask him to find my daughter but to think that you actually know it…"

"HAHAHAHAHA." His laughter continued.

"And you're not angry that I know it?" Jiao Heng raised his eyebrow.

"Why would I? You're the inheritor of Xi Ke and that man has a good judge of character. Him picking you to inherit his legacy must be something that he had thought carefully. Even if I don't trust you. I should trust Xi Ke."

"As for your secrets. It doesn't matter. We all have our own. As long as you rescue my daughter. Whether you're a devil or not, it wouldn't matter." The Dragon God naturally has an arrogant personality and it was inherited by his clan.

Unfortunately, this arrogant personality had also led him to bite more than he can chew, endangering his daughter in the process.

Now that he has hope, why should he worry? His daughter's imprisonment is his biggest regret, even when he died, he did not feel too sad as he thought that he did not shame the previous Dragon Gods before him.

But if he could turn back time, he'd rather be a great father than a great leader. After all, what's the point of being the Dragon God if he can't even save his own daughter?

Is his pride more important than his daughter? Of course not!

If it was, then he'd not wait for the Heretic God's Inheritor but since that person is the one who'll most likely succeed in rescuing his daughter, then he waited patiently for his arrival.

Now that someone is here who's in the same level as Ni Xuan's inheritor, he naturally has no complaints and even relieved that he's already a Divine Master.

Compared to waiting for years, freeing his daughter is the top priority.

And if this young man and his daughter get together.

A hint of cunning flash in his eyes.

Inheritor of the God of Time and himself the Dragon God, along with the mysterious power that does not belong to the Primal Chaos, he's satisfied if he becomes his son-in-law.

"... Did you just think about something?" Jiao Heng has a very keen intuition due to one of the secrets he cultivated so he noticed something odd about how the Dragon God looks at him.

"Cough… of course not. I'm just thinking of how satisfied I am." Long Yin coughed lightly.

With the trials, he had observed that Jiao Heng had an obsession with freedom. Although he possesses good character and is very tolerant of others, he has a clear bottom line and moral kidnapping is certainly not the way.

And besides, there's nothing to worry about. Jiao Heng is still young now but in the future, he'll eventually have to find his other half and who else is more worthy than his daughter?

He didn't think there is someone who is equal to his daughter's status and power in the current Primal Chaos.

Even in the Primordial Era, his daughter was considered to be fairy by everyone but untainted by no one.

Long Yin nodded. The more he thinks about it, the more feasible it really is.

His wisdom after living for years is not in vain.

Jiao Heng still feels that the Dragon God is plotting something and he just sighed.

Forget it. It's not out of malice anyway so just ignore it.

"By the way, I want to write a letter to my daughter. Please give it to her when you find her." Long Yin suddenly said.

"Oh." Jiao Heng nodded. It wasn't a big problem, he already knows where his daughter is.

Little did he know, this action which the Dragon God did not do in the original would severely affect his romantic life in the future.
