Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Suddenly, Jiang Chen radiated dazzling holy light, and an overwhelming, majestic aura emerged.

"Mr Jiang, your divine soul has settled in place; you should be able to hear me now. Please, don't resist. Allow me to atone for the calamity I've brought upon you!" the Pope said softly.

Buzz!

The aura emanating from Jiang Chen trembled slightly before gradually converging.

"Thank you for trusting me!"

The Pope expressed his gratitude toward Jiang Chen, placing his hand upon Jiang Chen's dantian.

The faces of the few elders around the Emperor Taishang changed visibly. They stared directly at the Pope's hand, circulating their internal qi to its peak, prepared to strike at any moment!

Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!

Pure, sacred radiance blossomed over the Pope, flowing from his palm into Jiang Chen's dantian!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The internal qi within Jiang Chen began circulating uncontrollably, and his powerful aura erupted skyward.

Dominance, violence, bloodlust, solemnity—all kinds of energies merged into his aura, transforming the entire chamber into the epicenter of his aura's collision. One individual's aura composed an orchestral prelude to battle!

"Mr Jiang, what is happening…"

Yue Tianzheng looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, his brows knitted with faint confusion.

"Mr Jiang has amassed countless insights through his cultivation, each capable of forming unique presences. However, Mr Jiang has never fully merged these presences before. Achieving the realm of unification is something only cultivators of our level can attempt,"

Dragon Saint explained softly to Yue Tianzheng and the others, sighing as he spoke. "Still, Mr Jiang's soul strength and internal qi levels have already reached—and even exceeded—the realm of unification. The disarray within his energy has been his greatest hindrance to reaching his full potential!"

"If Mr Jiang could fully integrate his presence and refine his internal qi into a singular purity, his combat prowess…" Emperor Taishang spoke with a complex expression.

Elder Long chuckled lightly. "His combat power would increase exponentially; he may truly become the unrivaled number one!"

"Perhaps, but at least before reaching unification, no one will be able to pose a fatal threat to him!" Dragon Saint added softly.

"That is sufficient!"

Elder Long nodded. "The unification realm can manifest divine powers. Mr Jiang bears traces of that supreme aura. You and I can always manifest ourselves beside him, and our friends Taishang, Li Jiang, and Zhou Wanchen, due to their cultivated techniques, can also manifest near Mr Jiang. With the five of us manifesting divine presence, few would dare attempt to harm him!"

Emperor Taishang nodded gently but then issued a reminder: "It's possible, yes, but Mr Jiang's journey requires struggle and determination on his part. We can't interfere too much, or it could impact his future."

"Of course!" Elder Long agreed readily.

Roar!

Roar!

With the continual infusion of holy light from the Pope, two dragon roars reverberated through the room.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The silhouettes of the Golden Divine Dragon and the Blood Fury Dragon shot out from Jiang Chen's glabella!

"Greetings, elder!"

"Greetings, elder!"

Dragon Saint and the others bowed and saluted.

"Holy light? Ye Hehua's contingency plan? Brat, meddling with this youngster—you're inviting trouble for Ye Hehua!" Blood Fury Dragon furrowed his brows as he sensed the Pope's radiating holy light, speaking sharply.

The Pope raised his gaze at the two Divine Dragons, responding respectfully: "Elders, this junior harbors no intention of leaving marks on Mr Jiang's body."

"I know; I was merely warning you!" Blood Fury Dragon replied with unapologetic righteousness.

The Pope froze momentarily and then shook his head with a bitter smile.

The Golden Divine Dragon glanced at the Pope and spoke gently: "Don't bother with him. Back then, he fought Ye Hehua and didn't win—he's still resentful!"

"Hmph! If not for that scoundrel exploiting their blasted divine artifact, and you withholding artifact use from me—how could I have lost to him? Sure, I didn't win, but I didn't lose either!" Blood Fury Dragon grumbled and cast an annoyed glare at the Golden Divine Dragon.

The Pope, Emperor Taishang, and the others were stunned as they watched the two Divine Dragons. This ancient secret was entirely unknown to them.

"Brat, you bear the scent of a celestial," the Golden Divine Dragon remarked cryptically, eyeing the Pope.

Blood Fury Dragon stiffened for a moment, closely inspecting the Pope before his gaze turned chilling: "Brat, explain yourself!"

"Elders, I was indeed visited once, but I've already eradicated a trace of that individual's Primordial Spirit," the Pope replied with forthright honesty.

The Golden Divine Dragon displayed a moment of surprise, turning toward Dragon Saint.

The two dragons were mere remnants of divine souls—their original soul force had been absorbed by Jiang Chen via the Saint Dragon Jade, leaving only shadows preserved within the Martial Soul. If not for the Pope's holy light stimulating Jiang Chen's Martial Soul, they wouldn't have materialized.

"Indeed, it was the Primordial Spirit that A'erfa himself destroyed—the spirit that descended," Dragon Saint confirmed with a nod.

The Golden Divine Dragon nodded lightly, his eyes reflecting a trace of admiration as he looked at the Pope: "It appears you possess understanding and wisdom."

"I only know that humanity must not face extinction!" the Pope declared without arrogance or servility.

"Humanity…"

The Golden Divine Dragon's expression shifted, an imposing resolve flashing in his eyes: "Ye Hehua still dares… He truly is a scoundrel! Back then, if not for his ambition… how would Origin Star have plunged into the Era of Martial Decline? And now this bastard remains unrepentant!"

Blood Fury Dragon exuded a deadly aura, growling ferociously: "Back then, we should've killed him!"

"The events of the past… can no longer be debated."

The Golden Divine Dragon shook his head and glanced at Jiang Chen, speaking gently: "A'erfa, since you're willing to use your holy light to eliminate the impurities from this lad's internal qi, would you mind doing a bit more for him?"

The Pope replied earnestly, "Elder, Mr Jiang saved my life—it's only natural to assist him!"

"Very well. We left behind these remnants of our souls to wait until this lad reached the unification realm so that we could fulfill our final role for him. The next time we meet, it should be him standing before us. But since this opportunity has arisen, let's finish it now. Leveraging your holy light will ensure better fusion!"

The Golden Divine Dragon nodded and explained, then turned to Dragon Saint and said: "Young Dragon, when this lad attains the unification realm, answer his questions properly. Also, tell him about that era, as well as the mission of the Dragon Descendants and the Dragon Guardian Clan."

"Understood!"

Dragon Saint answered obediently.

"Xue Kuang, our separation has spanned countless eras. Let us reunite within this lad!" The Golden Divine Dragon regarded the Blood Fury Dragon with deep meaning.

Blood Fury Dragon's gaze turned complex, casting a long and profound look at the Golden Divine Dragon before nodding gently, sighing: "I never anticipated this day of fusion. Despite merely fusing remnants of our souls… it truly brings back memories!"

"Hahaha!"

The Golden Divine Dragon laughed heartily and then declared, "Let's begin the fusion!"
