Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System

"Hmm?" Zhou Yu observed Ling Yun in surprise. "I didn't expect that your space element would evolve into the void element."

"I didn't expect this to happen either." Ling Yun replied while caressing Zhou Yu's cheeks. "You are the void spirit, and you are no different from the void itself, so I got the true void Qi from you. Not only did my space element evolve into the void element, but I also gained your void comprehension, and I can sense everything in this place now."

Zhou Yu stared at Ling Yun with repeated blinks. "Can you really sense everything?"

"Yes." Ling Yun then pointed toward the center. "The last key is there, and it's right in the middle of this place."

Zhou Yu nodded in understanding, but then she realized something. "No wonder Huang Lingzhu told me that I was the only one who could help you complete the tower, but I still didn't expect that you would obtain the void element and your understanding of it to be much higher than mine, even though I am the void spirit."

"Haha." Ling Yun laughed at that. "I think I know the reason, and it is because of the chaos abilities I gained after Jiu Shen broke the last seal, even though I only obtained a small portion of them."

Zhou Yu released a soft sigh. "I don't know anything about chaos abilities, but I think it's really amazing since it can help you obtain the void element. Perhaps you'll be able to obtain the other elements if you manage to find elemental seeds or have sex with the other elemental spirits."

"Other elemental spirits?"

Zhou Yu nodded to Ling Yun. "You already have almost all the basic elements, and only the poison element is left. Space is one of the rare elements, and the rest are metal, wood, gravity, air, and blood."

"Are there blood and gravity spirits?"

"No." Zhou Yu answered by shaking her head. "There are only mental, wood, and air spirits. They live in their sub-realms in the supreme realm, and I can take you to meet them in the future. Regarding the gravity and blood elements, I believe I know how to obtain them, but we won't be able to do so anytime soon."

Ling Yun fell into contemplation after hearing that. "No wonder Huang Lingzhu thought of handing over her time abilities to me; it turns out the chaos element has other advantages."

"Is Huang Lingzhu really thinking about doing that?" Zhou Yu asked in shock.

Ling Yun nodded in response. "Sheng Ming informed me about Huang Lingzhu's intentions, and I'm confident she didn't deceive me. Anyway, she is the life goddess, but her ability is not entirely related to life. The last extremely rare element is the death element, but the death immortal's abilities are also not entirely related to death. So, where can I find the true life and death elements?"

"I don't know where we can find the true life and death elements." Zhou Yu then asked him. "Why do you want to acquire both elements?"

Ling Yun thought for a moment before answering. "I didn't think about this back then, but now I have so many people by my side, and I also have five children. I don't know if the effects of the true life and death elements are as I think, but if their effects are as I think, and if I can control both life and death, then I don't need to be afraid of them dying."

"Control over life and death, huh?" Zhou Yu herself had never thought about whether that possibility existed. "If you transform into the true primordial chaos dragon, acquire his chaos abilities, and master both, you will attain the status of the most omnipotent living being. If that happens, you will control both the life and death of all living beings."

Ling Yun shook his head. "We've lived together for almost two years now, so you should already understand me, right? I never think about controlling the life or death of other living beings, and I only care about the people by my side. I am uncertain about the duration of my lifespan as a primordial chaos dragon, but I am certain that my mother and the others will not be able to outlive me. Witnessing the death of those we love is the scariest thing, and I don't want that to happen to me. By obtaining those two elements, I should be able to prevent that from happening, so I want to get them."

"Big Sis has witnessed the deaths of her loved ones, and her first man died because of her. Although I didn't experience it myself, her expression in the past made me understand how painful her feelings were at that time." Zhou Yu remembered something and looked at Ling Yun silently, but she was in a dilemma about whether she should tell him the truth or not, especially since it would affect him greatly.

"Hey, Zhou Yu! I've long known that you and Ling Xi were hiding something from me, so I hope you can tell me the truth." Ling Yun said.

Zhou Yu released a heavy sigh. "Ling Yun, the truth is that you already have the true immortal energy in your body."

"Hmm?" Ling Yun responded by raising his eyebrows. "Didn't Invidia's sacrifice fail? How can I have the true immortal energy?"

"Back then, Big Sis and I thought that it failed because we really couldn't sense it from inside your body." Zhou Yu's answer confused Ling Yun. "Lyra and Nu Shen were different from us, and they were familiar with all energy. They could sense that you already had the true immortal energy in your body, but it was still feeble at that time. However, it has strengthened, so we can also feel its presence in your body. It will continue to strengthen as time goes by, and you will eventually become an immortal like Big Sis and others."

Ling Yun's expression turned ugly, especially since his past worries had finally become a reality. Back then, he refused Ling Xi's wish to sacrifice Invidia for him because he didn't want to become immortal, but he also didn't want to hurt her feelings because she had suffered for billions of years. In the end, he agreed to undergo the ritual, and he was relieved because she thought the process had failed, but reality said otherwise. "Does that mean I'm immortal now?"

"Not yet." Zhou Yu then touched Ling Yun's chest. "You do have the true immortal energy in your body, but it's not perfect. Moreover, the old primordial chaos dragon is also immortal, and you inherited his bloodline. If you succeed in becoming the next primordial chaos dragon, then you will definitely become immortal like my big sis unless you die before that."

Ling Yun felt heavy in his heart, especially since he didn't want to live forever without his mother and the others. Moreover, there were so many of them, and he didn't have a solution to help them all become immortals.

Huang Lingzhu suddenly appeared not far from them, causing Ling Yun to frown. "You will never be able to turn them into immortals unless you sacrifice the other immortals, but you certainly won't do something like that, right?"

"Why not?" Ling Yun fiercely glared at her. "I don't care about you or the other immortals, and I only care about my family. If sacrificing them is the only way for my mother and the others to become immortals, then I will not hesitate to do so."

Huang Lingzhu frowned at that. "Instead of sacrificing the other immortals for your selfish desires, you can seek the true life and immortal elements. However, obtaining both of them is not an easy task, as they do not exist in this universe, but they should exist in its core."

"The chaos?"

"Yes." Huang Lingzhu nodded. "The chaos is the core of this universe, and it is what gave birth to everything. Although I am not sure about the existence of these two, I am still certain of my guess. If you can get them, you can control their life and death. Although they still won't be able to live forever like immortals, you can easily find their reincarnations, and you can bring them back to your side again."

"You're right." Ling Yun replied with a slight nod. "However, after their reincarnation, they will become new individuals, and I don't want that. I want them as they are now, and I will do anything for that."

"Why are you so selfish?"

"Do you think it's appropriate for you to ask that to me, Huang Lingzhu?" Ling Yun's blood-red eyes gleamed. "Have you forgotten that you killed the old dragon for your selfish desire? Because of your actions, his other loyal followers died, and Huang Hao truly hated you! Have you forgotten everything you did to Ling Xi? You toyed with her life and caused the person she loved to die in her hands, and she had to suffer for billions of years!"

"I—"

"You are the most selfish living being!" Ling Yun fiercely interrupted Huang Lingzhu. "You believe you are omnipotent and know what is best for other living things, but your actions are selfishness as the first living thing in the universe. I don't give a fuck about the fate of this universe, and you have no right to comment on my selfish desires! If you want to stop me, you can kill me!"
