Dugu Bo's eyes went wide in shock and disbelief as he couldn't believe what he heard.
He wanted to deny it outright. But the abnormal levels of strength displayed by this young boy would only make sense if he was…
A God!!
Realizing upto this, Dugu Bo's mind froze. He didn't know what to do. He broke into cold sweat almost instantly.
The god-like feats of God of Contracts are pretty well known. Just the act of casually changing the landscape of Star Luo Empire permanently is the least of the miracles.
He's afraid that the next second, a world destroying meteor might fall on him.
Similarly shocked was both Ah Yin and Xiao Wu.
The only one aware of this fact beforehand is Shui Xin'er.
"Rayne is actually that God? How is this… even possible? Wasn't it said that God of Contracts ascended from Douluo continent? No! In the first place, how is this even possible? Rayne is clearly the same age as me! This is so confusing…"
Xiao Wu muttered to herself with a puzzled expression. She felt her brain's limits being tested.
Ah Yin looked at Rayne with a puzzled expression.
'This… what is going on? Isn't young master the God of Infinity? Why is there another God of Contracts?'
While puzzled and baffled, Ah Yin didn't voice out her doubts like Xiao Wu, but kept it to herself.
Dugu Bo heard Xiao Wu's words and his gaze at Rayne turned into that of disbelief.
"Did you come back to life by possessing that woman's child?!" Dugu Bo exclaimed as he looked between Rayne and Shui Xin'er.
"?!!" Xiao Wu.
Seeing this and the doubtful look on Ah Yin and Xiao Wu, Rayne said with a bored look.
"I won't go too much into detail. Let's just say that I have the power to reincarnate. Basically, I died on the battle against seven God Kings and was reincarnated again. Which is the me you're seeing now."
"And when I said reincarnate, I didn't mean stealing other bodies. Reincarnation means a new life after death. Basically I was born again, rather than me possessing this body. Me having my past memories is due to a special ability of mine, and also because of a peculiar identity of mine."
Rayne said lightly.
In fact, he felt it kind of unnecessary to explain, as he really didn't care about other's opinions on him. Especially the likes of Dugu Bo and Xiao Wu. Ah Yin most likely won't doubt him since he had told her about the concept of reincarnation beforehand.
But seeing the difficult expression on Shui Xin'er's face, Rayne gave a half-hearted explanation.
Hearing about the power of reincarnation,
Ah Yin suddenly understood that, Rayne might have been reincarnated more than once in the past.
Suddenly it made sense to her as to why Rayne is both God of Infinity and God of Contracts at the same time.
But unlike Ah Yin, who was aware of Rayne's other identities, Xiao Wu looked very doubtful.
And so did Dugu Bo.
After all, the concept of reincarnation isn't known much in Douluo continent.
But regardless of their doubts, Rayne had no intention on elaborating any further.
Their doubtful gazes were worth nothing to him.
But that wasn't the case for Shui Xin'er.
Seeing her beloved son being looked at with such a gaze, Shui Xin'er couldn't bear it.
"I believe what my son said. After all, while married, me and Ordeaz didn't have an actual husband and wife relationship. We were basically forced to be together because that man Ordeaz was in love with Spirit Hall's Saintess at that time, Bibi Dong."
"And this didn't sit well with the previous supreme pontiff Qian Xunji. So to prevent any scenario he didn't want to see, he forced us to be together, at the same time attempt to bind the two elemental soul master academies behind us to the spirit hall."
"So, myself and Ordeaz never had any actual relationship,and basically never cared about each other. Only Bibi Dong was present in his eyes. And even during the birth of Rayne and till now, I have remained a virgin."
"Originally, I wasn't even meant to have a child. So all this talk on stealing body is just empty talk."
Shui Xin'er explained. Her eyes glanced at Rayne a few times.
Rayne knew the hidden meaning behind her words and also her intention.
In fact, he had already known about this from his fourth life (third simulated life).
'Well, hello. I'm Douluo's Jesus!' Rayne couldn't help but say jokingly in his heart.
Rayne nodded lightly to express his understanding. Otherwise, knowing Shui Xin'er, she would be anxious for a long time.
Shui Xin'er smiled.
Suddenly, she seemed to realize something. Her daughter Sylvia's birth was also of the exact same nature as that of Rayne's.
'Could she also be like Rayne? A former God?'
Shui Xin'er's eyes widened at this thought.
She looked at Rayne, hoping for an answer.
"Rayne, about Sylvia..."
In response, Rayne responded with a spiritual message, "Let's talk about it later, mom."
Dugu Bo, overwhelmed by the shock of this sudden revelation, felt his mind state somewhat unstable.
Too much shocking information.
"Even if you are the God of Contracts, don't you feel ashamed to pick on those weaker than you?" Dugu Bo blurted out. As soon as he said it out, even he felt somewhat ridiculous by his choice of words.
And as expected,
Rayne kicked Dugu Bo in the face, causing most of his teeth to fly out.
"Choose your words properly, old man. You're not in a position to accuse me of bullying the weak, when your first reaction when you saw us was to kill us all. If I was just a normal six year old kid, then me along with my companions would have been killed by you in the most brutal way."
"After all, your fame as Poison Douluo is based on your ruthlessness and cruelty."
Rayne said casually as his took back his feet that he kicked Dugu Bo with.
"…"
Dugu Bo kept his mouth shut, since even he himself is not sure of what he'll say next. His mind is a complete mess right now.
Rayne clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"You poisoned bastard! If not for our prior acquaintance, I'd have annihilated you the moment you took action against my mother."
Saying this, Rayne cast a glance at Dugu Bo with his vibrant blue eyes.
But it was this casual glance that sent chills through Dugu Bo's spine.
In this brief moment, Rayne withdrew his control over his aura. It was only for a moment, and the target was only Dugu Bo, not the three women who came with him. So they didn't feel anything.
But that was not the case for Dugu Bo.
From the depths of his soul, he felt unprecedented fear and awe.
Rayne's face was magnified in his vision in an ominous manner. Those vibrant blue eyes glowing like two brilliant blue moon in the pitch black sky.
'This kid... No! This man... We're not on same level at all.'
The sight of Rayne's casual glance made Dugu Bo feel so much fear for the first time in his life. He shifted his gaze to the ground, not daring to look at the white haired boy.
Even his breathing had stagnated. Cold sweat covered his back.
Dugu Bo felt a despairingly huge gap in life level between himself and Rayne in this instant.
A gap so vast, Dugu Bo felt it impossible to ever close this gap between him and the opponent.
This level of existence that is so out of reach, Dugu Bo felt that this was most likely the level of a God.
And what made him even more frightened was that, he had an intuition that he might have not even seen the tip of the iceberg yet.
And this feeling of fear and awe... Dugu Bo is very familiar with this feeling.
This is the instinctive fear that a life form feels when it looks at a higher level life form.
Dugu Bo himself had felt this feeling in his earlier days.
This was the similar feeling Shui Xin'er, Ah Yin and Xiao Wu instinctively felt the moment they saw Dugu Bo.
If that was all, then Dugu Bo wouldn't be so helpless to the point of even fearing to look at Rayne.
Dugu Bo felt like his entire soul was about to be crushed from the inexplicable pressure from the boy's blue vibrant eyes.
This terrible feeling made him not dare to breathe.
Fortunately for him,
"Hmph."
Rayne snorted coldly and once again sealed up all of his presence.
"Dugu Bo, let's talk. But you'd better watch your mouth. We're not close enough for casual talk yet."
Rayne also took back his aura that had suppressed Dugu Bo to the ground.
"..."
Dugu Bo felt the pressure on him being relieved and he was able to stand.
Rayne knew what kind of person Dugu Bo is.
He is an extremely arrogant, cold-hearted, and murderous old man.
If he is under the impression that he has the strength to resist or dominate, this guy would never compromise.
So, Rayne chose the most basic way to have this difficult old man compromise.
Simply let him know his place and display undefiable overwhelming strength!
...
After a few minutes of tidying up, Rayne and Dugu Bo had a brief discussion.
Dugu Bo and Rayne's group gathered and sat around a round stone table and chairs. There was a cup of tea in front of each of them, courtesy to Rayne.
Dugu Bo looked at Rayne with some doubts.
"Let me summarize a bit. So basically, you want me to work under you and join your new organization along with my granddaughter. In return, you'll help me with the martial soul defects and poisoning of me and my granddaughter?" Dugu Bo said with some uncertainty.
"Yeah. That's basically it." Rayne nodded, while sipping on the cup of tea.
"I... Aren't you a God? Can't you just take over everything by yourself?" Dugu Bo asked.
In fact, both Ah Yin and Shui Xin'er also had this question in their minds.
Basically everyone on the continent knew that, if the God of Contracts ever wanted to take over the world, it would have been effortless with his strength.
Throwing meteors, creating new continents, knocking out a million unit strong army with just a wave of his hand, and many more outrageous feats.
The overwhelming strength of a God is quite evident.
Taking over an already existing power seems to be much more convenient than building a new one.
Not to mention, he seems to have a ridiculously powerful force like the City of Contracts.
They didn't understand why Rayne wanted to create a new organization.
To this, Rayne replied with a bored look.
"Like I said, I have already been reborn and don't have my past strength yet."
"And besides..."
"I have no interest in ruling over others or becoming the ruler of the world. That's too much responsibility. I have my own personal priorities."
"The most I'll do is guide others a bit to make the world a better place."
"If conquest was my goal, I would've been the ruler of this world long ago. Why would I have to wait till now?"
"In the first place, why do I have to go out of my way to rule over such a pathetic backward civilization with my status? I have seen better ones!"
Dugu Bo: "..."
