Volume 31, Chapter 411.1: Black Dragon Reverse Scale (1/2)
“Yuhao, Yuhao…” Huo Yuhao’s consciousness was dragged back into his own spiritual world as his name was called.
“Brother Skydream, Ice Empress…” Huo Yuhao saw the Skydream Iceworm and Ice Empress drifting above his spiritual sea in their human forms after he entered his spiritual sea.
The Skydream Iceworm snorted and asked, “Do you know what Di Tian gave you?”
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. However, I can imagine that it’s for my own protection. After all, my safety concerns the entire destiny of the Great Star Dou Forest.”
The Skydream Iceworm sighed and said, “Foolish kid. That thing is both beneficial and harmful to you!”
Huo Yuhao was stunned, “It’s both beneficial and harmful? What do you mean?”
The Ice Empress said, “Di Tian gave you his reverse scale.”
“Reverse scale?” Huo Yuhao appeared to be thinking of something. “Dragons have a reverse scale, and they’ll be enraged and even go berserk if their reverse scale is touched. That scale?”
The Ice Empress nodded and replied, “That’s right. However, we discovered it too late. You’ve already worn it. Haih…”
Huo Yuhao asked, “What’s the problem if I wear his reverse scale?”
The Skydream Iceworm sounded very furious. “Of course there’s a problem! It’s a huge problem, too! Dragons have a reverse scale. Whoever touches their reverse scale will incur their wrath, that is the truth! This piece of his reverse scale that he gave you can protect you. He forms a piece of reverse scale after a metamorphosis every hundred thousand years when he experiences Heaven’s Wrath. It contains his origin strength!
“As for what kind of protection it can offer you, I’m really uncertain about that. However, it won’t be weak. But you need to recognize that his reverse scale contains a trace of Heaven’s Wrath. With this trace of Heaven’s Wrath, you won’t be able to obtain a Godly Seat.”
“Godly Seat? What’s a Godly Seat?” Huo Yuhao asked in confusion.
The Ice Empress replied, “We followed you in the hope that you’ll reach that realm one day and become a true god. It is only then that we will be able to separate ourselves from your body. Furthermore, if we follow you into the godly realm, it’ll be equivalent to us breaking the barriers of this world with your help. We will no longer be limited by our lifespans. Although the chance is very slim, we think that it is possible, given your current development and cultivation progress.
“Obtaining a Godly Seat is the most important stepping stone to your ascension to the godly realm. We don’t know what the godly realm is like, but there have been legends about it. Among all of them, the legend about Godly Seats is the closest to the truth. In this world, humans are on the path towards the godly realm the moment they become a Titled Douluo. Soul beasts are far less fortunate. Even if we reach a million-year cultivation, we’ll still find it difficult to become a god. This is highly related to a Godly Seat.
“There are various explanations for what a Godly Seat is. The explanation that we agree on the most with is that the godly realm can only harbor a limited number of gods. Every god has a seat that belongs to him. One can only become a god after obtaining a Godly Seat. This is why all living creatures have to find a seat that belongs to them in the godly realm if they want to become a god. One can then overcome the restrictions of the Douluo Continent through their connection with his seat and reach another level. Eventually, they can then ascend into the godly realm through their powers at that level.
“This thing that Di Tian gave you basically acts as a barrier that prevents you from connecting to a Godly Seat.”
Huo Yuhao was stunned, and asked, “Can’t I just take it off?”
The Skydream Iceworm laughed coldly. “You can try to do so when you return. Unless you die, you won’t be able to take it off.”
Huo Yuhao quickly calmed down. “Is there any other way that I can obtain a Godly Seat?”
The Ice Empress said, “Yes. By killing Di Tian. Can you do that?
