Chapter 220: Deducing the Truth: Uncovering the Silver Dragon King's Identity
Hearing the Silver Dragon King's question, and adding to that what Jerry had already thought about a lot himself.
In truth, he himself did not understand why either.
He himself also had clones; the clones could not perceive the main body's thoughts, but for the main body, every move and action of the clones could be known.
The Dragon God main body should have known about the clones long ago and could have recalled them by simply summoning them, but the Dragon God did not do so; instead, he let the Golden Dragon King be sealed and the Silver Dragon King go to the lower realm to heal, so there must be some hidden reason for this.
If one were to say the Dragon God main body was held back by other matters, that would also be impossible.
From what he learned from the Fairy Queen, the Silver Dragon King, and the World Consciousness, the Dragon God's clone was already very powerful, so if the main body were to handle this matter, even if he didn't recall the clone, couldn't he just send another clone over?
From the time the Dragon God clone in this world was split in two and then sealed until now, it has been nearly ten thousand years; even if the Dragon God main body really didn't have time for a moment, it is impossible that he hasn't had time for such a long period, so the Dragon God must have his own ideas.
The Dragon God's thoughts are definitely a huge secret, one that not even his clones were told.
"Silver Dragon King, as for why the Dragon God didn't come back to take revenge—oh, no, that's not right, it can't be called revenge. The gods of the God Realm spent such a great price just to deal with one clone, so in front of the Dragon God main body, they count at most as slightly stronger ants; it would be more appropriate to say why he didn't come back to deal with these ants of the God Realm."
"But regardless, in these ten thousand years, the Dragon God has made no move," the World Consciousness said.
"I couldn't figure it out before, and my brain was a mess. If the World Consciousness hadn't pulled me back, I wouldn't know when I would have been able to clear my head. So I think it's better not to consider this problem. The perspective on things is different, the way of thinking is different, and the method of handling things is different; it's like a mortal trying to consider the thoughts of a god—it's easy to fall into a dead end of thinking, and you probably wouldn't figure it out even if you thought until you died."
Although he knew the Dragon God must have his own purpose, Jerry was not at the same height as the Dragon God, and the clues were so few; if he forced himself to think and deduce, it would only make him more and more confused.
"By the way, Silver Dragon King, according to this situation, even if you counterattack the God Realm and rescue the Golden Dragon King, the two of you will not merge. The merging between clones is the strong one devouring the weak one, so you can only be devoured by the Golden Dragon King, and after being devoured, the Golden Dragon King's strength will multiply."
"Then what was the use of my efforts all these years?" After hearing Jerry's words, the Silver Dragon King fell into deep distress.
"Don't worry about the rest for now. You use this instrument of mine to test. Data won't lie, and it will allow you to understand yourself better later." Jerry also wanted to see the real data of the Silver Dragon King clone.
The Silver Dragon King actually wanted to know herself, and wanted to know if she was really just a clone, so after Jerry finished speaking, she stood on the testing instrument herself.
"Beep, detection starting!"
"Beep, detection finished, please choose voice broadcast or print data."
"Voice broadcast."
"Confirmed, voice broadcast, broadcasting starting."
"Name: Silver Dragon King"
"Soul: Dragon (Dragon Soul incomplete)"
"Race: Dragon"
"Martial soul: None"
"Body Strength: God Body First Layer 80%"
"Divine Sense | Divine Sense | Spirit Power: 27,000 points"
"Rules mastered: Wood Attribute Rule (Proficiency 30%), Water Attribute Rule (Proficiency 30%), Fire Attribute Rule (Proficiency 30%), Earth Attribute Rule (Proficiency 30%), Thunder Attribute Rule (Proficiency 30%), Darkness Attribute Rule (Proficiency 30%), Light Attribute Rule (Proficiency 30%), Space Attribute Rule (Proficiency 30%), Creation Attribute Rule (Proficiency 30%), Destruction Attribute Rule (Proficiency 30%)"
"God Position: God of Elements"
"Voice broadcast finished, whether to print the voice broadcast result"
"Print."
After getting the printed Silver Dragon King test data, Jerry knew his previous guess was very correct.
"Silver Dragon King, look, this is your data. The Dragon Soul is incomplete, yet you exist in reality without any impact, so it means you are also a clone."
"The Dragon Soul is incomplete—is that what you deduced this from?" The Silver Dragon King was a bit unwilling to believe that she was just a clone.
"This is a very important aspect of it. For any living being, if the soul is incomplete, they either won't live long or they are a fool. Look at you—your thinking is normal, your body is normal, everything is the same as a normal person; only a clone would be in this situation."
"And look at the soul section here; it shows Dragon, and the race is also Dragon. Do you know what this means?"
"I am a dragon, and my soul is a Dragon Soul—is there a problem with that?"
"Look at my soul; it is Human, and the race is Fairy Clan. For all creatures with souls in this world, the soul is either Human or Beast, because Demon Beasts are born, and there is also the Demon—this is a fundamental issue, while you are a Dragon, which is different from all of us."
"And this race, I show as Fairy Clan, belonging to the Demon Beast category."
"Other creatures either belong to the Human Race or the Soul Beast Race."
"You are just a Dragon, yet you don't belong to these three races. Under the Soul Beast Race, there are indeed races with the word 'Dragon' in them, but they are all Pseudo-Dragons; Ditian, Zi Ji, and some other soul beasts with 'Dragon' in their names, if tested, only show as Pseudo-Dragons."
"It just so happens that the World Consciousness is here too; she can tell you that in this world, there were only two races in the past: the Human Race and the Beast Race; it was only because of the appearance of Demon Beasts that there was an additional Demon Race."
Jerry finished speaking and looked at the World Consciousness.
"Jerry is right. This shows that the Dragon God was not an indigenous race of this world at all; therefore, as a Dragon God clone, the Silver Dragon King's race is also different from this world."
The World Consciousness's answer left the Silver Dragon King with no way to refute; she had thought about a lot but couldn't figure it out.
"There is one more method, this one is more private; it requires me to use my Divine Sense to check your Divine Soul Space and dantian."
The Divine Soul Space is very important to any god, and generally, one would not let others in, but in order to further confirm, the Silver Dragon King agreed to Jerry's method.
Jerry's Divine Sense entered the Silver Dragon King's Divine Soul Space and immediately discovered the problem.
This was not a Divine Soul Space at all for the Silver Dragon King, but a Sea of Consciousness that was very similar to a Divine Soul Space; Jerry had opened up a Sea of Consciousness and had checked others' Divine Soul Spaces, so he was very familiar with both, and this was one hundred percent a Sea of Consciousness.
In the middle of the Sea of Consciousness was a white dragon, a Divine Dragon, exactly the same as the dragon from his previous life in his memories.
Other dragons in this world could only be considered Pseudo-Dragons, the appearance of Western dragons.
Jerry had checked all the data and had also asked the Fairy Queen and the World Consciousness; this kind of Western dragon was the appearance of the native dragons of this world, while the Silver Dragon King was in the appearance of a Divine Dragon, which further proved that the Dragon God was an outsider.
Moreover, there was one more point where the Silver Dragon King's Divine Soul was different from this world: regardless of whether it was a beast, human, or demon, after becoming a god, the soul would eventually transform into a humanoid Divine Soul, but the Silver Dragon King had not, which also explained why the Silver Dragon King's race issue did not belong to Beast, Demon, or Human.
Then he continued to check the Silver Dragon King's dantian; sure enough, this was a dantian space, filled with Liquid Soul Power.
For other people, there would be a miniature version of their own image in the dantian, and inside the miniature would be a Soul Power Seed; this was the normal phenomenon of this world.
The Silver Dragon King's dantian was no different from after a demon transformation.
And Jerry had also checked Qian Daoliu's dantian; after becoming a god, Qian Daoliu's dantian was still an angel image.
Subsequently, Jerry told his results to the World Consciousness and the Silver Dragon King. The World Consciousness had already felt that the Dragon God was not from this world, so she accepted it easily, but the Silver Dragon King had always thought she was from this world and that she was a soul beast; suddenly someone told her she was just a clone, that she was not a soul beast, and that she was not even from this world—for a moment, it was a bit hard to accept.
"Actually, there is one more point that can prove that the Dragon God came from another world, and that is this Spirit Power, because the Dragon God is not an indigenous race of this world, the World Rule is useless against him, so he could break through the upper limit of the world."
After Jerry finished saying this, before he even reacted himself, the World Consciousness suddenly looked at Jerry with a wary gaze.
Only then did Jerry realize what he had actually said.
"Alright, since it has come to this, I admit that my soul is not from this world, but my body is truly and genuinely from this world."
At this moment, Jerry had nothing left to hide and directly told the World Consciousness and the Silver Dragon King about his soul transmigration.
"Actually, there is another person in this world who soul-transmigrated like me, called Tang San. The God Trial he accepted was hidden away by the gods, and I have never been able to find him."
Since he had already exposed himself, Tang San, you won't be able to run either.
"Then why does your soul appear to be human?" the World Consciousness asked.
"Why can't it be human? Can't I be human in my original world? Tang San is also human in his original world."
Regardless of anything else, he had to bring up Tang San in every sentence.
"World Consciousness, you actually don't need to worry about me destroying the world. My situation is actually similar to the Dragon God's. He just came earlier and sent a clone over. I don't have the Dragon God's strength; I transmigrated here by accident, but we share one goal: to develop this world."
"When the Dragon God came to this world, I hadn't been born yet. After I was born and understood the situation of the entire continent, I learned that the Dragon God had been pushing the development of this world, and I was only born because the world had developed to a certain degree."
The World Consciousness said indifferently. To put it plainly, it was also born because of the Dragon God, which is why it did not take action when the Silver Dragon King fled back to this world.
"Actually, it should be that the Dragon God was wandering in the universe and discovered a Life Planet. In the universe, Life Planets can be very precious. However, this Life Planet had just been born, so he left behind a clone to develop this planet and accelerate its progress. If there were no interference from the Dragon God, natural evolution would probably have taken hundreds of millions of years to evolve to its current state. It's just that I don't know what the Dragon God's purpose in doing this is."
"Regardless of what the purpose is, the Dragon God is indeed helping this world!" the Silver Dragon King suddenly said.
She hadn't been able to interject much before, but she had lived in this world for so long and had feelings for it. However, she was also a clone of the Dragon God, so she didn't want them to think that there was something wrong with the Dragon God.
"Hmm, for now, both the Dragon God and I are helping this world. I don't know about Tang San's stance, but he has accepted a God Trial now, so I reckon he will likely stand on the side of the God Realm. World Consciousness, can you not find Tang San either?"
"Yes, there are a few places in this world that I cannot control yet. The God-Slaying Land, which controls a Rule, is shrouded by that Rule. Unless someone in this world masters that Rule, the Rule of the God-Slaying Land will not dissipate. There are also the Inheritance Secret Realms left behind by those gods in the God Realm, which contain independent Rules that I cannot control either."
The World Consciousness sighed when saying this. Being a World Consciousness yet unable to control its own world—if other World Consciousnesses knew, they would surely mock her.
Speaking of these Rules, Jerry had previously felt that there weren't just eight simple Rules. After seeing the Silver Dragon King's data, he learned that there were also Space Rules, Creation Rules, and Destruction Rules. Adding in the fact that the World Consciousness had wanted Jerry to comprehend the Death Rule earlier, there were now four Rules that Jerry had not mastered.
Jerry must have known the Space Rule before; now that the Silver Dragon King had confirmed that such a Rule indeed existed, then the Time Rule that Jerry inferred must also exist.
Moreover, the World Consciousness had already mastered the Time Rule. From her method of sealing this area—no matter how much time passed here, it was only one second outside—wasn't that the Time Rule?
He had thought he knew enough, but in fact, there was even more he didn't know.
"World Consciousness, don't worry. I truly don't know the Dragon God's real purpose, but I know he wants to develop this world, not destroy it. Naturally, I will not go against the Dragon God's decision." The Silver Dragon King looked at the World Consciousness and said this, because the World Consciousness had been uneasy about her, so she had to give the World Consciousness a definitive answer.
"As long as you don't destroy this world, I won't care about anything else." The World Consciousness also gave the Silver Dragon King a definitive answer.
Jerry, however, was thinking about one thing: could this Dragon God be the Divine Dragon from Earth?
If it were a dragon from Earth, then it would make sense that the dragon did not belong to beasts, humans, or demons.
After all, some mythological novels have said that in the Great Desolation period, dragons, phoenixes, and qilin were innate races, different from the fierce beasts and the later Demon Race and Human Race.
Moreover, several times before when Jerry wanted to say that this world was actually a novel, an invisible force would appear, preventing Jerry from speaking. When Jerry gave up on the idea of saying it, this force would disappear.
This invisible force pressed down, and even the World Consciousness nearby couldn't detect it, while Jerry himself couldn't speak.
"And you, Jerry, I always thought you were a person of this world, but now that I know your soul is not from this world, can I still trust you in the future?" The World Consciousness suddenly turned to look at Jerry.
There was no help for it; the World Consciousness had suddenly discovered that people from other worlds had appeared in its world. The Rules of this world were of no use against them, and since they were acquaintances and had even helped it, it was embarrassed to kill them directly, which made the World Consciousness very uncomfortable.
"World Consciousness, don't worry. I came to this world and don't know if I can ever go back, but I have always regarded myself as a person of this world. You have seen my actions over these many years, so you should trust me."
Seeing that the World Consciousness was suddenly uneasy about him too, Jerry hurriedly explained, fearing that the World Consciousness would misunderstand.
After revealing the Silver Dragon King's identity, Jerry's gaze toward the Silver Dragon King became affectionate.
The Silver Dragon King directly sensed Jerry's gaze.
"Jerry, the way you're looking at me now is a bit strange!"
"No, no, don't misunderstand, I just felt a bit of kinship suddenly seeing a fellow countryman!"
"Fellow countryman?" The World Consciousness and the Silver Dragon King were a bit surprised.
"Don't be so surprised, okay? The Silver Dragon King and I might be fellow countrymen, is there a problem with that? Oh, forgot to mention, I am a descendant of the dragon!"
"Descendant of the dragon? What is that?"
The more Jerry said, the less the two understood, and the more confused they became; they had never been so surprised in their lives.
"In my hometown, the dragon is a divine beast, a totem. Where I am from, there is a saying about being a descendant of the dragon. I used to think it was just a joke, but after coming to this world, I realized it wasn't a joke at all; I am indeed a descendant of the dragon. It's just not the same dragon as the Dragon God. You can sense my soul."
After Jerry finished speaking, he opened up his soul to let the World Consciousness and the Silver Dragon King sense it.
When the World Consciousness and the Silver Dragon King just sensed Jerry's soul, a golden divine dragon that blotted out the sky and sun appeared directly in their minds, letting out a roar. The World Consciousness felt as if it were about to be shattered, while the Silver Dragon King felt her Dragon Soul bowing directly toward the golden dragon.
It was fortunate that the World Consciousness and the Silver Dragon King had no ill intent, otherwise the outcome would likely have been miserable.
"Too terrifying! A golden divine dragon!" The Silver Dragon King felt her whole body trembling and said tremblingly.
"Look at how scared you are. There are many classifications within the Dragon Clan. What my soul carries is the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, the aura of the Dragon Emperor Clan; the pressure is naturally different."
Although Jerry said it was just an aura, the World Consciousness and the Silver Dragon King still hadn't recovered; it was too terrifying.
