Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 538 The Initiation Ceremony of the Isshin-kai (2.8k)
Large beads of sweat slid down Qian Gu Huang Yu's fair face. She had been trying her best to maintain the operation of the Void Light Formless throughout the Abyss Plane, especially to simulate the aura of a god, which was quite taxing.

Although this was extremely dangerous, Qian Gu Huang Yu believes it was all worthwhile.

First of all, Mortis took full responsibility for the task of killing the Ancient Phoenix Feather, so she no longer had to worry about the Abyss Saint Lord suddenly rewarding her with some strange little toys.

Moreover, the Abyss Saint King promised to reduce attacks on the Blood God Legion and instead prepare for full-scale war, which made it possible for her to use the power of the Blood God Legion when necessary.

Of course, the most important thing is that Qian Gu Huang Yu can use the excuse of killing Qian Gu Huang Yu and opening the abyss passage to frantically ask the Abyss Saint for funds.

My sage, you don't want to go through all that trouble only to fail to descend into the Douluo Continent, do you?

The Abyss Saint King was also happy to plant spies in the human world, so it can be said that this cooperation was mutually beneficial from the very beginning.

However, Qian Gu Huang Yu needs to convince the Holy Lord that she is qualified to be on equal footing with him in cooperation.

[For the Abyss Saint King to descend, two conditions must be met: first, the abyssal energy in the Douluo plane must be sufficient; second, a deity must come to guide him.]

[Leaving aside the first condition for now, the Demon Emperor is now under my control, so he can't possibly fulfill the second condition.]

[Unless the Holy Ruler descends in person, even if I can't defeat the mere Spirit Emperor and the Blazing Emperor now, can I not defeat them in the future?]

Thinking about it, a confident smile appeared on Qian Gu Huang Yu's face.

...

Blood God Legion, evening.

Chen Xinjie sat alone in his office, which was designated as the Blood Second Division, and stared at the office in silence for a long time.

He ultimately couldn't win against Chen Yiming. Tomorrow, he will leave the Blood God Legion and return to the Sea God Legion to prepare for his appointment as the Vice Hall Master of the War God Temple.

"Brother, are you leaving?" Chen Hanyu pushed open the door and asked directly.

"You didn't knock," Chen Xinjie said casually, but there was no hint of blame in his tone.

"Alright, stop with your lecturing. You probably came to the Blood God Legion to hide from someone, right?" Chen Hanyu said slowly.

"What do you know?" Chen Xinjie's tone turned serious. He was willing to stay here because he didn't want to face Long Yeyue.

As long as he stays in the Blood God Legion, he can numb himself by saying that he had to give up his relationship with Long Yeyue in order to protect his country.

[Xiaoyu was right after all. Oh well, after all, she's an old monster who's lived for countless millennia; it's not surprising that she knows everything.]

Chen Hanyu said, "Don't worry about what I know, but the way you're hesitating makes you look no different from a nobody."

Chen Xinjie's aura suddenly became incredibly terrifying, but he quickly withdrew it. "I never thought I'd be taught a lesson by you one day."

Chen Hanyu said, "Just do what you want to do. You are a mighty Vast Ocean Douluo, a quasi-god, yet you are still troubled by these trivial matters."

After saying that, Chen Hanyu left without waiting for Chen Xinjie to speak.

[Honestly, your incompetent appearance only makes me, who was pressured to the point of breaking down back then, seem even more incompetent, doesn't it?] Chen Hanyu thought to herself.

After Chen Hanyu left, Chen Xinjie looked in the direction she had gone and a smile appeared on his face.

Regardless of the outcome, one must try to avoid regret.

Blood God Legion, late at night.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Dong Zi'an entered the Blood God Legion's command headquarters. During this Abyss Tide, he fought bravely and performed exceptionally well, earning a promotion. Now, he could rightfully enter the Blood God Legion's command headquarters.

Yes, this is not the first time he has been promoted in military rank recently. As an outer member of the Yixin Society, with the help of Qian Gu Huang Yu and several generals, his rank has been promoted very quickly.

Because of her possession of the special resource of Soul Armor, Qian Gu Huang Yu easily connected with many generals of the Blood God Legion, forming an alliance of interests.

No Soul Master can refuse to become stronger, and the Blood God Legion is no exception.

If they were previously wearing shirts and vehemently criticizing the Spirit Pagoda for its utter lack of morality, then now they should be wearing suits and thanking the Spirit Pagoda.

Since the establishment of the Yixin Society, thanks to the allocation of resources and the support of their superiors, they have made rapid progress and have grown increasingly respectful of the Ancient Phoenix Feather.

Although this wasn't Dong Zi'an's first time entering the Blood God Legion's command center, it was the most nerve-wracking one he'd ever been.

Today is his ceremony to become a full member of the Isshin Society.

Dong Zian is now at level 70, which meets the requirements to become a formal member of the Yixin Society. If successful, he can officially join the Yixin Society.

But if you fail, you don't know when you'll be able to get formal membership again.

Whether it was Dong Zi'an's gratitude for Qian Gu Huang Yu's kindness and his desire to share some of her burden, or his reluctance to give up the preferential treatment he was currently receiving, all of this urgently made it impossible for him to fail.

Upon entering the Blood God Legion command center, Dong Zi'an walked to Qian Gu Huang Yu's office. He knocked respectfully and only entered after receiving permission. Once inside, Dong Zi'an saw Qian Gu Huang Yu sitting behind her desk and immediately gave a Blood God Legion salute.

Upon seeing this, Qian Gu Huang Yu immediately stepped out from behind her desk and stood in front of Dong Zi'an, saying, "At ease."

Dong Zian immediately resumed his upright military posture.

Then, Qian Gu Huang Yu extended her right hand to Dong Zi An.

Dong Zian was flattered, but he forcibly suppressed his excitement and immediately grasped Qian Gu Huang Yu's hand.

Dong Zi'an quickly pledged his loyalty, saying, "I will serve the Yixin Society with my life..."

"Alright, I know, come with me." However, before Dong Zian could finish speaking, Qian Gu Huang Yu interrupted him.

Dong Zian immediately fell silent, while Qian Gu Huang Yu walked directly into the office, and Dong Zian quickly followed behind her.

Qian Gu Huang Yu walked to his desk. The desks of the Blood God Legion generals were not luxurious, but the memorial tablets on them were particularly eye-catching:
Blood God Legion - Deputy Chief of Staff - Lieutenant General - Eternal Phoenix Feather
After defeating the Abyss Plane, Qian Gu Huang Yu was promoted to lieutenant general due to his outstanding performance in the battle.

Because Qin Xiaowen didn't want Qian Gu Huang Yu to continue going to the front lines, he put Qian Gu Huang Yu into the General Staff Department.

Incidentally, the Chief of Staff is actually a lieutenant general, but Qian Gu Huang Yu is still relatively inexperienced and has only become the deputy chief of staff.

In any case, Qian Gu Huang Yu is finally no longer a junior general.

Qian Gu Huang Yu pulled out her chair and waved to Dong Zi'an, "Zi'an, sit down!"

Dong Zian was startled and felt a little flustered. Even after his promotion, he was only a colonel, and the distance from becoming a lieutenant general was still quite far.

Moreover, soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders, and he considered it a serious overstepping of authority to directly assume the position of lieutenant general.

Seeing Dong Zian hesitate, Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "What, are you afraid?"

Then, Qian Gu Huang Yu patted the back of the chair again, "This is just a chair."

“No, I’m not afraid!” Dong Zian took a step forward and said.

"Come over here, this will be your spot," Qian Gu Huang Yu said, then beckoned to Dong Zi An.

Finally, Dong Zian took a deep breath, walked forward, and sat down in the chair of the Ancient Phoenix Feather.

Dong Zian slowly sat down on the chair of the Ancient Phoenix Feather, his mind racing with a mix of emotions: trepidation, joy, pride, unease...

Dong Zian looked around the office again, at the various confidential documents, the Blood God Legion's military flag and the Sun Moon Federation's national emblem hanging on the wall.

"Is this what power feels like?" Dong Zian couldn't help but think to himself.

Qian Gu Huang Yu leaned back in her chair and patted Dong Zi'an on the shoulder. "From now on, you are me, and I am you. Your glory is my glory, and my glory is your glory."

"Yes!" Dong Zian's pupils trembled violently, filled with joy and excitement.

"Speaking of which, you should have already broken through to the Soul Saint level, right?" Qian Gu Huang Yu suddenly asked.

"I managed to break through a few days ago by sheer luck."

“I remember your martial soul, the Blue-Faced Wolf, mutated into a rare spatial element. In that case, this is yours.”

As she spoke, Qian Gu Huang Yu took out a Soul Spirit Ball from her storage ring and placed it in front of Dong Zi An.

After seeing the souls stored in the Soul Orb, Dong Zi'an's breathing suddenly became rapid.

That's an 80,000-year-old Thorn Dragon!
Although the Thorn Dragon is only a sub-dragon, it possesses an extremely rare spatial attribute, and its strength is by no means inferior to that of a true dragon of the same age.

Moreover, it has a lifespan of 80,000 years, so it's no exaggeration to say that this is the most suitable soul for Dong Zi'an.

...

Apart from the initial gathering at the Zero Point Bar, all subsequent gatherings of the Isshin Society were held separately, and there were no more instances of all members participating.

For safety reasons, the members of the Qian Gu Huang Yu sect kept their identities secret from each other. Even the official members of the Yi Xin Hui sect did not know who all the other members were.

In reality, only four people, led by Qian Gu Huang Yu, knew the full details of the Yi Xin Society.

The Blood God Legion is the cradle of federal officers and a gathering place for geniuses from various forces. Now they are all trapped on the frigid Snow God Mountain.

But they will eventually leave this place, like Pandora's box, spreading throughout the entire Federation and profoundly affecting the fate of the entire Douluo plane...
