Everyone was taken aback; such an advantage was almost irresistible! Moreover, this was already a concession from Heavenly Python, as he was practically lowering his face to speak with Jiang Xue.
However, Jiang Xue actually refused.
"How outrageous! You have repeatedly defied me; do you truly think I wouldn't dare to kill you?" Heavenly Python Soul roared in anger, his entire presence erupting with power, sending shockwaves throughout the Valley, rippling like waves.
"I refuse you because you disrespect my parents and slander their relationship. It is also because you are so high and mighty, looking down on everyone, thinking that possessing others is a form of grace. Unfortunately, I do not need such so-called grace. If you are dissatisfied, feel free to find someone else."
Wang Long smiled, suddenly understanding Jiang Xue's intentions. Indeed, she was quite displeased with Heavenly Python Soul's words and actions, but as the leader of the Serpent Demon Clan, how could she allow personal grievances to affect the larger situation? If she simply agreed, then Heavenly Python would undoubtedly become even more arrogant and would never heed a single word from Jiang Xue. In that case, even if the two awakened their Spirits, they would not be able to communicate their intentions, let alone control and command Heavenly Python to work for her.
"Little girl, I underestimated you; you're not foolish at all! You intend to use this to force me into treating you equally in the future? But don't forget, if you truly provoke me, I would rather seek out this treacherous person!"
"No, you won't, because you are also a clever person," Jiang Xue replied calmly, seemingly confident.
For a moment, the entire Valley fell silent; no one spoke.
After a while.
Heavenly Python Soul suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Interesting, interesting! I didn't expect such intelligence and courage from a little girl! Very well, I agree to acknowledge that I am possessing you; it will be a cooperative relationship! We will each get what we need and benefit equally. Is that acceptable?!"
"But Heavenly Python Lord..." Changxi exclaimed urgently, trying to intervene.
"Hmm? You... Although I do not like you, after all, you are the one who broke my seal and awakened my Spirit. Though Heavenly Python is considered treacherous and ruthless, I am not ungrateful! Naturally, there will be benefits for you. However... if you continue to meddle in this matter, I have many ways to make your death very unpleasant without being disloyal!"
Dragon Soul laughed heartily: "It should have been like this long ago! Who would have thought that after hundreds of years, we would once again have a day of fighting side by side! Truly nostalgic!"
Heavenly Python snorted coldly: "Little girl, do not resist!"
Jiang Xue nodded slightly and closed her eyes. Suddenly, an overwhelming force seemed to descend from the heavens and surged forth like a raging tide from the sea; however, in just an instant, it vanished without a trace.
At the same time, she felt another consciousness awakening within her mind.
"Wait, it's not over yet! Spirit Awakening!"
The Heavenly Python roared in Jiang Xue's mind. Jiang Xue hurriedly stabilized her thoughts again, feeling that her own innate Spirit and the invading Heavenly Python Soul were reflecting off each other, emitting intense and dazzling light.
A slight sting came over her, and Jiang Xue frowned slightly but did not speak.
The complete fusion of the two Spirits created an inexplicable connection. This time, Jiang Xue even understood every thought and intention of the Heavenly Python. At the same time, she sensed the overwhelming and indescribable ferocity of the Heavenly Python, causing a hint of fear to arise in her heart.
"If such an existence truly decided to act, it could probably annihilate me in an instant!"
"Hmph, it's not too late for you to understand now! However, this is just because my power is greater than yours. When it comes to actual combat, the disparity may not be so vast. But if one day I can fully revive, heh heh..."
Jiang Xue nodded and slowly opened her eyes.
Wang Long smiled at her and extended his hands; the two held tightly onto each other.
At the same time, the Dragon Soul and Heavenly Python Soul flew out from their minds, transforming into two massive figures over ten feet tall, looking at each other with wild expressions!
"Speaking of which, it feels somewhat fateful, Dragon Duel! The being I am attached to is half-human and half-snake; while you are attached to this kid who is also half-human and half-dragon! Flowing within him are two bloodlines of humanity and dragonkind!"
The Dragon Soul nodded and said, "That's right; perhaps this aligns with that ancient prophecy..."
"Oh? You actually believe in such nonsense? Just lies meant to deceive children..."
Dragon Duel shook his head and replied, "You are mistaken... The Evil and Malicious have once again descended upon the world; isn't this precisely the first sign of that prophecy? Our revival is just the beginning. Moreover... haven't you noticed those two faint auras? They are far away but very real..."
Heavenly Python's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you saying that those two people also..."
"That's right!" Dragon Soul sighed and said, "The ancient Four Great Beasts have once again descended into the world. The world is facing another choice, which may change the pattern of the world and bring about a different future..."
Wang Long couldn't help but ask curiously, "What kind of prophecy is that?"
Dragon Soul replied solemnly, "At the time of the dragon clan's destruction, there was a rumor that spread throughout the world, claiming that the Four Great Beasts would reappear in the human realm. When they gather again, an opportunity will arise. It could change the entire world's pattern; who knows? Perhaps the dragon clan will truly be revived again, or perhaps humanity will completely eradicate the dragon clan, achieving true unification of the world..."
"The Four Great Beasts, Evil and Malicious... Are you implying that the other two have also, like you, been revived?"
Heavenly Python sneered and said, "Evil and Malicious. We four were merely resisting the tyranny of the dragon clan back then, yet we were labeled as the Four Great Beasts! The dragon clan claims to be the legitimate rulers of the world! They assert that we four are embodiments of greed, brutality, cunning, and ignorance! Flaws born from their so-called righteousness!"
"However, even the dragon clan, not even the Thirteen Dragon Emperors themselves, can completely eliminate our power! Therefore, they claim that as long as there exists greed and brutality, cunning and ignorance in this world, we will inevitably be reborn! And when that day comes, changes that will affect the entire world's pattern will occur..."
Wang Long nodded and said, "So, Dragon Duel has the highest cultivation level and is ferocious and bloodthirsty, representing brutality; while Heavenly Python is meticulous and ruthless in his methods to achieve his goals, representing cunning. That means there are still two others—one represents greed and the other represents ignorance? And these two are also revived alongside you as Ancient Evil Beasts?"
"Who exactly are they?!"
