Chapter 118: Packing Up and Leaving

After resolving their doubts, the proud Ice Dragon King fulfilled her promise. A crystalline left arm bone, carved like blue crystal, flew out from the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well and landed in her hand.

"Here. This is a product of part of my condensed power. It should be of great help to you." The Ice Dragon King casually tossed her divine-grade soul bone to Lin Yun.

"After taking my power, you'd better fulfill your responsibilities as the Dragon God's avatar. Even if you're not the original Dragon God, you still have to make up for his mistakes."

Lin Yun didn't refuse her words. He nodded lightly. "I understand. I won't shirk my responsibilities. The mission of reviving the Fierce Beast race—I'll see it through."

"Good enough!" The Ice Dragon King finally smiled, ceasing her bickering with Lin Yun.

She had, in a way, acknowledged this Dragon King's existence.

Admittedly, this Golden Dragon King was quite to her liking.

After storing the divine-grade soul bone, Lin Yun turned to the two Dragon Kings and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

"What plans could we have? We've been dead for countless ages. Right now, we're just lingering on borrowed time. If you hadn't awakened us this time, perhaps in a few hundred or thousand years, our last remnants of consciousness would have completely dissipated," the Fire Dragon King replied with a helpless yet oddly carefree chuckle.

As beings who had already died once, complete annihilation wasn't something they feared. It might just be like falling asleep.

"Death is death—no big deal. Back then, I thought I'd just drift off in my sleep. Never expected to meet someone as interesting as you before fading away," the Ice Dragon King added with a faint, indifferent smile.

"The only regret is not getting to kick that idiot Dragon God a couple of times."

"You don't want to keep living?" Lin Yun stared at them in disbelief, his face full of question marks.

No way, no way—surely no one actually wants to die?

The two Dragon Kings exchanged glances. The Ice Dragon King frowned. "We're just remnant souls now. Divine power can't revive us anymore. Do you have a way to keep us alive?"

"I don't, but he does!" Lin Yun smirked mysteriously, stepping aside slightly as a shadowy figure materialized behind him.

The Death Saint Necromancer, the Calamity of Undeath—Elaicose!

"Well met, you two." Elaicose greeted them with a light chuckle and a cupped-hand salute.

"A divine soul? A human powerhouse?" The Fire Dragon King frowned, shooting a questioning look at Lin Yun.

Didn't you say the human gods of the Divine Realm are the Fierce Beasts' sworn enemies? Why are you carrying a human deity's remnant soul around?

Lin Yun shrugged. "Let me introduce you. This is Elaicose, a powerhouse from another world. In his prime, his strength was comparable to ours. His specialties are light magic and necromancy, and his achievements in soul-related arts are top-tier."

After confirming that the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were allies, Lin Yun had already awakened Elaicose from his slumber in his spiritual sea.

For the two Dragon Kings, who were now mere remnant souls, complete dissipation was inevitable. But with Elaicose's help, they would only need a considerable recovery period to fully repair their divine senses and eventually revive.

As for Elaicose? Not only did he owe Lin Yun a significant favor, but he still relied on Lin Yun's power to restore himself. Besides, having only himself in the spiritual sea was far too dull—adding two more to play a round of cards would be much more entertaining.

Without much deliberation, he agreed.

Thus, the two hit it off immediately, planning to help the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings settle into Lin Yun's spiritual sea, using the power of the Life Gold to mend their divine senses.

Though the two Dragon Kings were curious about the "magic" Lin Yun mentioned, now wasn't the time for explanations. After some discussion, they gathered their remaining divine senses and moved into Lin Yun's spiritual sea.

Elaicose then got to work, stabilizing their divine senses with the Life Gold's power and teaching them how to repair their souls.

None of this concerned Lin Yun anymore.

When the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had first appeared, their dramatic entrance had suppressed all the sentient immortal herbs present—except for their group of five. Only after they entered Lin Yun's spiritual sea did this pressure finally lift.

To Lin Yun and the others, their conversation had felt lengthy, but to the immortal herbs, it was just a fleeting moment of disorientation.

Seeing Lin Yun, who had now shed his draconic form and whose aura had surged dramatically, the immortal herbs trembled in fear. Fortunately, Lin Yun had left seeds for the Chrysanthemum of Wondrous Bones, stopping short of total annihilation.

Otherwise, they'd have been living in constant terror.

The "harvest" of these immortal herbs was temporarily complete. After collecting all their essences, Lin Yun cleanly beheaded the Radiant Fragrance Fairy, absorbed its soul ring with his Devouring Dragon ability, and upgraded the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's fourth soul ring to 100,000 years.

The excess 30,000 years of energy was then funneled into the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear's soul ring.

Now, Lin Yun's soul rings stood at: 70,000 years, 80,000 years, 50,000 years, 100,000 years, and 100,000 years.

Killing the Radiant Fragrance Fairy wasn't just about boosting his soul rings—more importantly, it was for the soul bone it dropped, its immortal herb body, and its condensed essence.

For Bing Di and the others, immortal herbs were no longer of much use, but Lin Yun still had a little loli to raise back at Shrek Academy. For Xiao Xiao, the Radiant Fragrance Fairy was a life-altering treasure, capable of elevating her already exceptional talent to new heights.

The herb's body and essence could be given to Xiao Xiao first. As for the right leg soul bone from the Radiant Fragrance Fairy and the torso soul bone from the Chrysanthemum of Wondrous Bones? That would depend on Xiao Xiao's future performance.

Lin Yun was selfish—good things were reserved only for his own. Once Xiao Xiao truly moved past her youthful infatuation and wholeheartedly devoted herself to him, he wouldn't mistreat her.

Well, this is Douluo Continent—being a love-struck fool is pretty normal. I doubt it'll take too long.

After nearly stripping the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well bare, Lin Yun swaggered off with Bing Di and Di Tian in tow, leaving behind a much-barren "hot pot" in prolonged silence.

But of course, Lin Yun would definitely be back.

After all, that Phoenix Coronet Herb was perfect for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's soul ring...

Livestock—so very nutritious!
