The moment the words "Divine King" reached Wu Tian's ears, he felt a deafening roar.
This unfamiliar term prompted him to ask, "Divine King? What does that mean?"
The Sacred Dragon replied, "Immortal Kings are not the true peak; there are higher realms above them."
"Immortal Kings are divided into five spirits, and above the five spirits lies the Divine Realm."
"Both I, Tian Feng, and the Demon Venerable belong to this stage."
"And because the Demon Venerable was at the Great Perfection of the Divine Realm, even with the combined efforts of myself and Tian Feng, it was difficult to defeat him, forcing us to resort to mutually destructive means."
"There's such a thing..."
Although Wu Tian had previously suspected that there were other realms above Immortal Kings.
He was still astonished when he truly heard such a concept.
He quickly asked again, "If that's the case, then the so-called Divine King must be above the Divine Realm?"
The Sacred Dragon nodded, "That's correct. The Divine King realm is the realm that governs all things. Once one reaches this stage, they are capable of controlling the entire universe."
"I could not touch this realm in my entire life, and sometimes I doubted if this realm truly existed."
"But after hearing your account, I now have a strong premonition that if the Demon Venerable returns this time, he might very well ascend to the Divine King realm."
"At that time, even if Tian Feng and I recover our true forms, we may not be able to pose any threat to him."
The Sacred Dragon's words made Wu Tian feel as if his blood had turned cold.
In a daze, he seemed to see a scene from the future.
The great demon would emerge, bringing devastation to all living beings, and no one in heaven and earth would dare to stand up.
Whether it was the human realm or the spirit beast realm, both would ultimately be engulfed by dark energy under the Demon Venerable's might.
This future was unacceptable to Wu Tian. He had worked so hard precisely to thwart the demon race's conspiracy.
If the demon race were to succeed, wouldn't his efforts be in vain?
Therefore, he quickly asked again, "Then what? Sacred Dragon, since the situation has become so critical, are we just going to surrender?"
The Sacred Dragon gazed at Wu Tian and said, "If it were in ancient times, even I would have had no way to resist."
"But now it's different. This world has new hope, and it's not yet a time of despair."
"New hope?" Wu Tian was startled, then immediately became invigorated, saying, "Sacred Dragon, what is this hope you speak of?"
"Don't worry, no matter the cost, I will find a way to obtain it!"
The Sacred Dragon said, "No, the hope I speak of is not in a distant place; it is right before my eyes."
"Wu Tian, that person is you."
"You are our hope."
"What?!" Wu Tian was stunned, his eyes suddenly becoming vacant.
After a long while, he foolishly said, "No, Sacred Dragon, what are you talking about?"
"I am just a human. How could I possibly be the hope of this world?"
The Sacred Dragon said, "You don't need to be so humble. You are not an ordinary human."
"Your body contains immense potential. If it's you, perhaps you can truly achieve it."
Wu Tian was still in shock. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "No way, Sacred Dragon, have you made a mistake?"
"Even if I am indeed extraordinary, it's because of the Sacred Dragon power within me!"
"But isn't the Sacred Dragon power the power you bestowed upon me?"
"If even you are helpless in this situation, what use am I?"
The Sacred Dragon said, "Do you remember what I said when we first met? The reason you are powerful is not because the Sacred Dragon power helped you."
"On the contrary, it is precisely because you are powerful enough that the Sacred Dragon power descended upon you."
"You are the Son of Destiny, and also the born savior. We must rely on you to save this world."
"The so-called Sacred Dragon power is merely a tool to help you reach the summit. When you ascend the throne, you will possess a power even more advanced than the Sacred Dragon power."
Wu Tian's mind was so impacted by the Sacred Dragon's words that he could barely think.
Even though these words came from the Sacred Dragon, he still found it hard to believe.
He widened his eyes, looked at his own eyes, and couldn't help but murmur, "Is all this true?"
"Within me... I actually possess such power?"
"This is truly incredible."
No one would easily accept such a thing, let alone Wu Tian, who, before awakening his spiritual energy, was merely a small village doctor struggling to make a living.
Logically, if he were a genius, he should have displayed his talent from a young age. How could he have been so quiet for so many years?
Seeing his silence, the Sacred Dragon understood his thoughts and said, "Wu Tian, you don't need to think about anything else now. Just believe in yourself."
"I was born from the universe, and your status as the Son of Destiny is the will of the entire universe."
"Heaven's will is never wrong. Everything depends on you."
It took Wu Tian quite some effort to finally pull himself out of his chaotic thoughts.
Although he still couldn't believe such a thing, since the Sacred Dragon said so, he naturally couldn't say much more.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and said to the Sacred Dragon, "Wait a moment."
"Um, Sacred Dragon, what did you just say? You were born from the universe?"
"Does that mean you're not a spirit beast after all?"
The Sacred Dragon said, "That's right, I am indeed not a spirit beast, but a divine beast."
"Originally, the emergence of the Demon Venerable was an act against heaven, so the universe gave birth to me and bestowed upon me the power to fight the Demon Venerable."
"But I never expected that this genius, who appears once in a hundred million years among the demon race, would be so powerful!"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have to meet you in this form."
Wu Tian couldn't help but gasp.
What kind of existence was this Demon Venerable that he could make the Sacred Dragon so wary?
If such a being were truly resurrected, would he be capable of facing him?
As he was lost in thought, the Sacred Dragon said again, "Alright, there isn't much time left. Let's get down to business."
"Your main purpose for coming here, I believe, is for the Divine Crown, right?"
"The Divine Crown is with me now, so take it."
After speaking, dozens of light clusters flew out from the Sacred Dragon's massive body and hovered before Wu Tian.
