Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 491 The Beasts Depart, Half-Step God King

Di Tian's grief lasted for three whole days. He silently shed tears, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing. Gu Zhaoqiu and Gu Yuena tried to comfort him, but to no avail.

Finally, with extremely complicated emotions, he glanced at the Dragon God's consciousness, his body swayed, and he flew out of the undead demiplane.

"I want to be alone, you don't need to worry about me."

Instead of staying at the Golden Tree to cultivate, Di Tian flew directly towards the Star Dou Great Forest, his intentions unknown.

Biji and Ziji quickly followed. Xiong Jun hesitated for a moment, then forced a smile and said goodbye to Gu Zhaoqiu.

"Anyway, staying here won't make me a god or improve my strength for the time being, so I'll go back and check on my bear cubs and grandchildren."

"Cultivate diligently, for the future of our Star Dou Great Forest rests on your shoulders, little ancestor."

As fellow Star Dou ferocious beasts, and having called the Silver Dragon King, half-body of the Dragon God, "Master" for so many years under the leadership of Di Tian, ​​it was impossible for Xiong Jun not to have complicated feelings upon suddenly learning that the restriction that prevented countless soul beasts from becoming gods was the work of the Dragon God, and that he was responsible for the heavenly tribulation every 100,000 years.

Even with his strong heart, he couldn't easily accept this cold, hard fact. It was too unfair to the bear, too infuriating.

Fortunately, the Silver Dragon King is different from the real Dragon God. She doesn't have the Dragon God's strength or madness. Her dazed and cute appearance is also quite adorable. Xiong Jun glanced at Gu Yuena and thought to himself.

However, it's impossible for him to respect Gu Yuena as much as before. If he had to choose a successor, he would support Gu Zhaoqiu, whom he had watched grow up.

The auspicious beasts seem reliable and can protect them during their cultivation and tribulations. They are the complete opposite of the Dragon God, so no soul beast would have any objections.

……

"The Dragon God once led the Beast Race to the top of this universe, but he also personally brought them to the brink of annihilation. How many loyal subordinates like Di Tian have been harmed by him? It's truly ironic."

Beneath the golden tree, Xu Tianxi watched the four ferocious beasts depart, sighing slightly. The Dragon God had both merits and demerits, and now it seemed that the demerits outweighed the merits.

There are many other dragons like Di Tian who are loyal, devoted to the dragon race, and fight for it. He is just the only second-generation dragon king who survived among them.

The number of true dragons who died tragically because of the Dragon God's mistakes was far more than those in Dragon Valley. Other dragon kings and beast god kings were also such beings, but even their remains could not be found.

"This shows that for a leader, reason is always the most important thing." Electrox's eyes flickered, and he stroked his beard as he offered his opinion, seemingly lost in thought.

"That's right. Whether you can fight or not is secondary. If you don't have leadership skills, you can't participate in decision-making. You can only become a senior elder or someone with sufficient combat strength."

Xu Tianxi always believed that it was necessary to thoroughly clarify the responsibilities of the decision-making level in terms of power allocation. Those who were good at fighting but lacked intelligence should either learn to be intelligent or be excluded from decision-making.

Throughout history, many powerful forces have been brought to their demise by the misdeeds of a powerful decision-maker, such as Shrek Xuanzi.

The Spirit Hall's two gods certainly lost their final battle because of the background; the four opposing gods stopped acting, and Tang San died once but was resurrected and started over. However, if they hadn't had so many confusing maneuvers, Poseidon and the old Asura wouldn't have had the chance.

"Alright, don't think about these things too much. Let's think about what to do next. When do you plan to ascend to the God Realm?"

Gu Zhaoqiu turned to look at Xu Tianxi, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

Over the past five years, she has undergone a complete transformation and her abilities have soared, but Xu Tianxi's progress is no slower than hers, and may even be more refined.

Although the lower realm lacks the celestial energy of the divine realm, Xu Tianxi's self-built and continuously improved Starry Sky Array and Dragon Ascension Platform are sufficient to make up for it. He also frequently seeks out the Dragon God's divine consciousness as a research subject.

After absorbing a large amount of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, she and Gu Yuena were unexpectedly able to activate the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, combining the power of the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings. However, in a battle half a year ago, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill was no match for Xu Tianxi alone.

"I haven't had enough of the mortal realm yet, so I'm not in a hurry to ascend. So many gods are rushing to leave, which shows that life in the divine realm must be very boring."

"Going up is easy, but coming down is hard. I reckon that once I go up, I'll hardly have a chance to come down to the mortal realm again."

Xu Tianxi shook his head and chuckled, "Over the past five years, I have gained many insights into cultivation, whether it's observing the myriad phenomena of the stars or tapping into my inner spiritual potential. The human body is a treasure, and so is the starry sky. My goals are not limited to this."

"Sometimes I think about how high one's soul power needs to be on the path of cultivation? It's never high enough, sister, my soul power level is never high enough."

“We are all still young, and the future holds infinite possibilities. I will not let this divine position confine me to my path. I still want to see higher skies and more distant stars.”

Gu Zhaoqiu pursed her lips, thinking that Xu Tianxi's determination to cultivate was too firm. He was unrestrained and unconventional throughout his life, and loved cultivation. He never stopped for even a moment.

"I heard from Sister Na'er that your divine power level is already at the half-step God-King level, and the quality of your divine power far exceeds that of a true God-King; you're working so hard, you're really forcing us to stay home and not get any rest..."

"Haha, you flatter me. I'm just encouraging you. Although the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings are only half of the Dragon God, their potential is far greater than that. From my current perspective, your sister has only developed less than 30% of her power, while you are better off, with 50% or 60%."

Xu Tianxi said in a serious tone that over the past five years, his divine power has increased by more than four levels per year on average, barely breaking through the level 140 barrier, making him a half-step God King. His knowledge and understanding have also increased accordingly.

At his level, he was truly fearless of everything, and his divine eyes could see through the essence of almost everything in the world.

Gu Zhaoqiu glanced at the dragon robe on the other party's body, a smile playing on his lips. "You're about to ascend the throne and become emperor. Would you like our soul beast clan to prepare something to celebrate with you?"

“I have never cared about these things; there is no need for such wasteful and troublesome matters.”

Xu Tianxi declined for a moment, then said, "But you'll definitely be here to watch the show, so please give me this much face." "Of course, after all, our relationship is so special; Di Tian is exhausted, and no one else can succeed him. I am now the official leader of the Star Dou Great Forest, a generation of Dragon King, and you are my queen."

Gu Zhaoqiu gave a very playful smile, quite pleased to see Xu Tianxi's brow furrowed with annoyance.

"...My dear sister, where did you get this title from?"

Xu Tianxi stared at the other person's beautiful eyes, suspecting that the other person had been corrupted by Gu Yuena.

Why do dragon kings these days like this kind of thing? Have you forgotten the scene of the two of you coming together and being utterly defeated?
"Hehe, you still like to call me 'sister,' don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

Gu Zhaoqiu retorted sharply, her snow-white cheeks glowing, her beautiful eyes sparkling like two clear springs.

"Don't talk nonsense. I suddenly remembered that there is something important I need to discuss with you," Xu Tianxi said.

Seeing Xu Tianxi's solemn expression, Gu Zhaoqiu realized that the other party might have observed something during this seclusion. In recent years, the other party had liked to travel in outer space and often made amazing discoveries. He asked seriously, "What is it?"

“This is very important. Let’s talk privately,” Xu Tianxi said, raising his finger to create ripples in the space, which transformed into a circular vortex. He then led Gu Zhaoqiu inside.

"Isn't this the demiplane you created yourself? I remember you called this demiplane the Golden Dragon Illusionary Realm?"

Stepping into the vortex, the light and shadow shift, and a realistic and beautiful scene appears before your eyes: rolling hills and flowing streams. Many of the sights are identical to those in the Starry Sky Forest, and some of the plants were transplanted from the Starry Sky Forest.

“That’s right, I created this space myself, it’s perfect for us to chat.”

Xu Tianxi said, "I have set up multiple mental illusion arrays and spatial killing arrays in this demiplane. Even a God-King cannot enter."

Seeing Xu Tianxi reveal his trump card, Gu Zhaoqiu's expression grew even more serious. She said, "Could it be that you've discovered something about dragons and dragon gods in outer space? If so, my sister and I will go with you immediately..."

"Yes and no, dear sister, you're overthinking it."

Xu Tianxi embraced her voluptuous and fragrant body from behind, his palms tracing her smooth, alabaster skin before landing on her knees. He lifted her up and carried her deeper into the demiplane.

As the light and shadow shift, pavilions and palaces with flying eaves and brackets appear, as if they were created by immortals.

"What are you trying to do?" Gu Zhaoqiu glared at her beautiful eyes and scolded.

"I just came out of seclusion and dealt with that troublesome Ye Guyi, and you've already arrived again. My sister, you are an unparalleled beauty, and you've become the new queen of the dragon clan once more..."

"Don't move, or I'll grab your sister too."

Xu Tianxi said, "It's not that you can't take advantage of me in name, but it feels too passive to be teased by you, just like when we first met. You love to be assertive, so I can't fall behind."

"You bastard, I shouldn't have believed your nonsense."

Gu Zhaoqiu's beautiful eyes changed, and she unleashed the aura of the Golden Dragon King, transforming into golden dragon scales.

"Heh, it's been a while. Sister, your eloquence has improved quite a bit. But I wonder if your other skills have also improved? When the Dragon Maiden is in love, her dragon scales will disappear."

Xu Tianxi grabbed her hands and quickly sealed the second-generation Golden Dragon King's fighting power, then gently placed him on the bed.

Gu Zhaoqiu glared at Xu Tianxi angrily, showing a look of unyielding defiance. Xu Tianxi's lips curled up, he pressed down on her slender shoulders, and then kissed her red lips. His hands quickly became restless, surveying the mountains and rivers.

"The Golden Dragon King is truly a great tonic; my sister has benefited greatly from it."

"Don't talk nonsense, that's not serious."

A moment later, Gu Zhaoqiu's long feathered robe was removed, like a cluster of feathers falling into the water.

Suddenly, Xu Tianxi's voice drifted out.

"Actually, I'm very curious to know what you said to Di Tian that made him cheer up again. Sister, can you satisfy my curiosity?"

"I will not tell you."

"That's true, you have to give gifts first when you want someone to help you."

...

"Ah..."

In the realm of gods, Rong Nianbing suddenly sneezed and asked the seven elemental gods who had come to freeload a meal:
"Everyone, has anything particularly exciting happened in the realm of gods lately? I suddenly feel a little uneasy for no reason."

“This is my divine intuition as a true God, and it cannot be wrong.”
