Qian Lingfeng had no choice but to return to the main world with Zhou Sidong.
This Douluo Continent would soon be engulfed in war, and Zhou Sidong only had two hours to stay in the parallel universe.
If Zhou Sidong had been born in this world, Tang San's fate would have been the same as the Tang San in his parallel universe.
After bidding farewell to Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, and Qian Renxue, Qian Lingfeng followed Zhou Sidong onto the seven-colored passageway back to the main world.
Only after they disappeared from sight did Qian Daoliu turn and leave, his figure somewhat forlorn. He had spent three or four years with this little guy; it would be a lie to say he was reluctant to part with him.
Qian Renxue also left with her grandfather; her Angel Nine Trials had reached the seventh trial, a crucial stage.
"Your Holiness, we have ascertained that the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape are currently in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Furthermore, according to our reports, since the rabbit sacrificed itself to the young master, there have been almost no survivors in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. In previous years, some Soul Master teams that went to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts accidentally wandered there, but they were all killed by the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, as a way of venting their anger over the sacrifice."
After Yue Guan finished reporting, Bibi Dong nodded: "Give the order that I personally lead a team to the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow. It's time for the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape to become my eighth and ninth Soul Rings, respectively."
In recent years, the number of Soul Master teams going to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts has been decreasing, which is inextricably linked to the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape.
A large part of the reason why these two Soul Beasts went berserk and even went so far as to kill Soul Master teams that went to hunt in the Star Dou Great Forest is the incident of Xiao Wu's sacrifice.
Furthermore, Zhou Sidong's terrifying strength, easily crushing the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, instilled fear in them. Therefore, in recent years, anyone who trespassed into their territory,
regardless of gender or age, has never returned alive from the Star Dou Great Forest.
Bibi Dong's current decision is not only for herself; once the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, threatening the survival of Soul Masters on Douluo Continent, are eliminated, many Soul Masters will support the Spirit Empire.
Douluo Continent is now divided into three, and the situation is tense.
According to information from spies infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire has begun mobilizing troops, and even the Star Luo Empire to the south of the Spirit Empire is showing signs of movement, creating a situation where the two empires are flanking them.
What Bibi Dong lacks are the last two crucial Soul Rings, also the final key to the Nine Trials of Rakshasa.
...
Qian Lingfeng, returning to the main world from the parallel universe, seemed very happy. He disappeared as soon as he stepped out of the passageway, presumably off wandering off somewhere.
"Old habits die hard. When will this kid ever mature?"
Zhou Sidong wondered. Was leaving this kid in the Spirit Hall of the parallel universe a mistake?
"Dongdong, your mother from the parallel universe has decided to personally go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape."
Xiaoxue's words echoed in Zhou Sidong's mind.
"Well, I'm busy again. None of them give me any peace of mind."
In the stage before the Three Gods War, Zhou Sidong had to be more diligent in traversing the two worlds. On the one hand, he had to try his best to turn the tide of the war, and on the other hand, he had to complete his eighteenth traversal as soon as possible so that he could inherit the position of the God of Destiny. This was a new position created for Zhou Sidong by Xiaoxue.
There was still some time before Tang San returned to Douluo Continent from Seagod Island, so Zhou Sidong could take the opportunity to rest for a few days.
Meanwhile,
Qian Lingfeng, who had returned to the main world, was like a wild horse, running around the Spirit Hall like the wind. He hadn't been back for three or four years, and his father had brought him back this time out of necessity.
Because Tang San's first priority upon returning to Douluo Continent was to revive Xiao Wu, his target naturally fell on Qian Lingfeng, who had absorbed Xiao Wu's spirit ring and spirit bone.
Fortunately, Zhou Sidong brought his son back in time, but it was a pity he wouldn't be able to witness the famous scene of "Resurrect! My love!"
"Since you're back, come in!"
As Qian Lingfeng passed through the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong's voice rang out, directly reaching his ears.
The latter stiffened. Before returning to the main world, his father had already told Qian Lingfeng that his grandmother had successfully inherited the dual godhood of Rakshasa and Asura, and that the situation on this continent was settled, with no danger and no complexities like those in parallel universes.
Qian Lingfeng pushed open the heavy door, which swung open to both sides.
A head peeked in, and seeing no one around
, Qian Lingfeng was puzzled. The voice had definitely come from here!
Following the sound of his grandmother's voice, he entered the vast Papal Palace. Suddenly, a pair of slender hands covered Qian Lingfeng's eyes, and a childlike, clear voice reached his ears: "Guess who I am?"
The voice seemed familiar, yet strangely unfamiliar.
Only when the owner of the voice turned around did Qian Lingfeng see clearly.
Standing before him was a young girl of seven or eight years old, her golden hair flowing down her back, wearing a small floral dress with gold-trimmed lace, her delicate face flushed like a red apple.
"Mu Xue, is that you?"
Qian Lingfeng was slightly taken aback. He didn't quite recognize the girl in front of him. It's said that girls change a lot as they grow up, and Qian Mu Xue already possessed a beauty that could rival her aunt Qian Renxue. If she was this beautiful at such a young age, what would she be like when she grew up?
"Big brother, don't you recognize me? It seems the three or four years you spent in the parallel universe have made you forget many things."
Qian Muxue, as the daughter, had repeatedly begged to go with Zhou Sidong to the parallel universe, as she had never met his great-grandfather, grandmother, or aunt there.
But Zhou Sidong didn't grant her wish. It wasn't that he favored boys over girls, but rather that the world was about to descend into chaos, and he didn't want his son to face danger alone.
So, he brought his son back.
Qian Lingfeng didn't say much, because he could see the dissatisfaction in his sister's eyes. He couldn't be angry; he simply smiled apologetically.
"So you know how to come back?"
Bibi Dong's teasing voice came from behind, silently patting her grandson's shoulder and jokingly laughing.
Qian Lingfeng tensed up. He'd only just returned home and this was already happening; he could only imagine what the future held.
"Grandma, I've missed you so much!"
Qian Lingfeng rushed towards empty air, only to find Bibi Dong sitting high on her empress's throne, toying with the boy.
"Missed me?"
Bibi Dong chuckled. "Impossible. In another timeline, you have another me with you, why would you miss your grandma? Besides, you're entangled with Nana. I must say, you're quite something."
Bibi Dong gave Qian Lingfeng a thumbs up.
Faced with his grandmother's teasing, Qian Lingfeng felt a chill run down his spine. How could she know so much about his life in a parallel universe? He was quite puzzled!
"What nonsense!"
Qian Lingfeng chuckled twice, changing the subject: "Grandma, I've become a Soul King!"
On the other side, Qian Muxue pouted. He wasn't the only one to become a Soul King, so what was there to be so proud of?
Because Zhou Sidong had captured too many 100,000-year-old soul beasts, he had left behind a lot of soul bones after the sacrifice.
Naturally, these soul bones were absorbed by Qian Muxue. Combined with immortal herbs and the baptism she had undergone at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well since childhood, they accompanied Qian Lingfeng as he grew into a Soul King, and so did her.
Seeing the two siblings like this, Bibi Dong smiled awkwardly. She could only say that the siblings had a very good relationship.
"Not bad, they've both grown."
Bibi Dong said with a smile.
At the same time, she pulled Qian Lingfeng towards the place where they usually handled government affairs.
Having spent three or four years in a parallel universe, Qian Lingfeng will not return this time unless something unexpected happens. Thus, Bibi Dong can focus her attention on the brother and sister.
In the future, she, the dual goddess of Asura and Rakshasa, will leave Douluo Continent
. Moreover, Bibi Dong has a premonition that this day is not far off. Once Bibi Dong leaves, the inheritance of the vast Martial Soul Empire will be left to her grandson and granddaughter.
Her son, Zhou Sidong, bears a heavy responsibility, and her daughter, Qian Renxue, is also the future Angel God. Qian Daoliu will sacrifice himself, but his soul will be absorbed by Bibi Dong and eventually taken to the God Realm.
In no time, Qian Lingfeng was already numb.
Looking at the mountain of memorials before him, Qian Lingfeng felt overwhelmed. He also looked at his sister, who was engrossed in handling government affairs as if drinking water, and his old face couldn't help but turn red.
Thinking that he couldn't let his sister look down on him, he scanned the dense text in front of him and suddenly felt drowsy, with an urge to fall asleep.
Forcing himself to stay awake, Qian Lingfeng mustered all his strength.
Don't let his usual fearless demeanor fool you; in front of Bibi Dong, he doesn't display a single trace of the "Great Demon King" attitude one would expect.
Bibi Dong sat at the head of the table, sipping fragrant tea, her gaze sweeping over the Qian Lingfeng and his sister, a smile playing on her lips.
"The tougher days are yet to come!"
Managing such a vast empire isn't something that can be done overnight.
Bibi Dong is taking advantage of her remaining time on Douluo Continent to cultivate a successor for the empire.
As for the successor of the Spirit Hall, Hu Liena has already made her choice.
...
In a parallel universe, on Seagod Island.
With the passing of the sixth Seagod trial, Tang San's seventh trial arrived.
He drew the Seagod Trident.
This was the content of the seventh trial.
At this stage, only Tang San, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu were qualified to enter the Seagod Temple.
This was because Ning Rongrong had received a Red-level trial, corresponding to the trial for the High Priest's successor.
Tang San was the Seagod's successor, and Xiao Wu was accompanying him during the trial.
After three days of rest, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and the others stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the departing figures of Tang San and his companions.
"Do you think Third Brother can pull out the Trident of the Sea God?"
Ma Hongjun asked.
This wasn't just Ma Hongjun's doubt; it was shared by Dai Mubai and the others.
It was said that the Trident of the Sea God weighed a staggering 108,000 jin (approximately 54,000 kg). These mortals, let alone 108,000 jin, could barely lift even a thousand jin, and that was only with their Martial Souls possessing them.
"Fatty, you have to have faith in Little San,"
Dai Mubai said, hands on his hips, watching his brother's retreating figure, his eyes filled with confidence.
He had a premonition that this return would inevitably be a decisive battle against the Spirit Empire!
A battle that would determine the future of Douluo Continent.
Now that his brother Tang San had attained the Sea God's position, he would surely lead everyone to crush the Spirit Empire.
This was Dai Mubai's trust in Tang San, a trust that ran deep in his bones.
The pitch-black Sea God's Temple suddenly brightened with the arrival of Tang San and his companions. Before them, Poseidon knelt on the ground, bowing in reverence to the black trident stuck upside down in the triangular pillar.
"Greetings, Senior Poseidon,"
the three
bowed to her. Looking at the trident, Poseidon felt an urge to pull it out in Tang San's place.
The Sea God's Heart between her brows stirred restlessly; if it weren't for the Sea God's divine will residing within it, it would likely have been noticed by the Sea God of a parallel universe by now.
Seeing Poseidon's delayed reaction, the three exchanged glances, unsure of what their senior was thinking.
"Tang San, let me ask you, do you know how vast the ocean is?"
Poseidon turned and smiled at the three.
Tang San thought for a moment, then shook his head, saying, "Please enlighten me, Senior."
This was clearly outside his knowledge.
Poseidon slowly said, "The sea is four times the size of the land; one ocean is equivalent to four Douluo Continents. In this boundless ocean..."
Then, Poseidon recounted the various deeds of the Sea God to Tang San and the others. Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu listened with longing, and even Tang San clenched his fists, unable to hide his excitement.
"Becoming a god."
He heard this unfamiliar word from Poseidon—breaking through level 100 to become a god.
"Only by breaking through level 100 and becoming the Sea God can I destroy the Spirit Empire and avenge Xiao Wu, my father, and my mother! And avenge those disciples of the Upper Three Sects who died unjustly!"
Tang San vowed in his heart, his gaze burning as he saw the black pillar-like object stuck upside down on the triangular platform behind Poseidon. Was that the target of his seventh trial?
"Senior, I had some doubts before; please answer them,"
Tang San said.
"You want to ask about Xiao Wu, is that it?"
Poseidon spoke calmly, a question that sent a shiver down Tang San's spine. How did Senior Poseidon know before he even asked?
In fact, Tang San had already asked this question in his previous life.
"Please tell me, Senior!"
Tang San asked sincerely.
Xiao Wu was his everything, and since the sacrifice, Tang San had been filled with remorse.
"Tang San, I can reveal to you in advance that one of the contents of your eighth trial as the Sea God is to resurrect Xiao Wu."
Upon hearing this, Tang San was overjoyed, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
But Poseidon's next words poured cold water on Tang San's hopes, shattering them.
"Resurrecting Xiao Wu is possible, but there is a necessary condition."
"What condition?"
Tang San asked impatiently.
"Find Xiao Wu's lost spirit rings and spirit bones!"
