Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 188 Re-entering the God Realm, Encountering Xiao Wu Bathing, Seed of an Ancient Godhood
After setting up a barrier with the Staff of Destruction, Nan Liujing led Gu Yue deeper into the area and soon arrived at the Stone of Destruction, which was formed from the condensed liquid of destruction.

Gazing at the being constantly emanating destructive intent, Gu Yue frowned and said in a deep voice, "It is indeed a remnant of the God of Destruction. What exactly happened in the God Realm?"

Nan Liujing said, "The God Realm encountered a spacetime turbulence. In order to protect the God Realm from being torn apart by the spacetime turbulence, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life chose to merge and release the power of creation, which can be considered as protecting the God Realm from destruction. However, the couple also perished as a result."

Upon hearing the words "space-time turbulence," Gu Yue suddenly realized, then turned to look at Nan Liujing: "Do you think there's a possibility that the God Realm might return?"

Nan Liujing shook his head: "I don't know."

This butterfly has completely muddied the waters of the timeline, making it impossible to deduce it using the original timeline.

A hint of worry appeared on Gu Yue's face: "Even if two God-Kings have fallen, there are still three God-Kings guarding the God Realm. If they return and see that the new God Realm we have built allows the Beast Race to ascend, they might cause trouble. In that case, we are no match for them at all."

Nan Liujing chuckled and said, "What if I could monitor their movements at any time?"

Gu Yue was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Nan Liujing strode towards the Stone of Destruction, touched it with one hand, and in an instant, a torrent of deep, purplish-black destructive intent surged forth, quickly engulfing him.

“Senior brother.” Gu Yue’s eyes narrowed.

"Don't worry." Nan Liujing's voice came from within the purplish-black destructive intent. "Wait for me a moment, I'm going to take a stroll in the God Realm."

"Huh?" Gu Yue was stunned for a moment.

call out.

The destructive intent retreated along with Nan Liujing.

While Gu Yue was still in a daze, Nan Liujing had already made his second interstellar journey to the realm of gods.

After a year, he returned to the realm of gods.

Emerging from the seed of destruction, Nan Liujing floated above the Divine Realm Committee dome in the form of celestial energy.

Looking down, I saw several old friends still sitting there cross-legged.

Count from left to right.

Tang San, Ji Dong, Lie Yan, Rong Nianbing, Huo Yuhao, Zhou Weiqing.

Occasionally, the Divine Realm Committee would tremble slightly, clearly still clinging to the turbulent flow of spacetime.

That's true. After all, when the original God Realm of Time and Space escaped the coverage of the Time-Space Turbulence, it wasn't far from making contact with other God Realms. It's estimated that it will have to maintain this state for a few more years.

At that time, the flow of time in the God Realm was almost the same as that on Douluo Star; it was no longer a case of one day in heaven being equivalent to one year on earth.

"We don't have much time, let's take care of business first."

Nan Liujing pondered to himself, then ignored the people below and slipped out through the window.

Huo Yuhao, who was exerting all his divine power, suddenly trembled, subconsciously opened his eyes, and muttered to himself, "I have a bad feeling."

With his father-in-law so close, Huo Yuhao didn't have time to think and quickly focused on his work, afraid of incurring a scolding.

After leaving the Divine Realm Committee, Nan Liujing, following his previous experience, took about an hour and finally arrived at the Temple of Emotions.

It's very quiet here, with only occasional priests passing by.

Upon entering the hall again, Nan Liujing, adhering to the strategy of taking every last drop of wealth, quickly began searching for compressed immortal spiritual energy.

Soon, Nan Liujing was disappointed. Compared to last time, this time he not only failed to obtain any immortal spiritual energy, but he also failed to come across the divine-level soul tool blueprints that Huo Yuhao had compiled.

"What a pity, it seems..."

Floating in the room, Nan Liujing looked regretful.

hum~
Suddenly, a slight ripple of spatial movement spread out from outside the temple.

Nan Liujing's expression changed, and he hurriedly left the temple. Just as he flew out of the window, he saw a tall figure flying into the temple amidst the respectful presence of several priests.

"Huo Yuhao, why is he back?"

Nan Liujing was surprised, but he didn't panic. Even Tang San would hardly be able to detect his current state.

Ignoring the priests' waiting, Huo Yuhao hurried to the second floor of the temple, where he checked almost every room's restrictions.

After confirming that the restriction had not been triggered, he did not breathe a sigh of relief as he had imagined. Instead, his expression became serious, and he walked to the window and looked outside.

Less than a hundred meters away from Huo Yuhao, Nan Liujing floated there, staring intently at the tamed Dai Yuhao.

"I took away the immortal energy from the Death Ray Tower's energy core last time, which has probably already attracted this guy's attention."

Nan Liujing understood something from Huo Yuhao's solemn expression.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao closed the window, and when he reappeared, he was already outside the temple gate.

"Notify me immediately if any suspicious persons are found approaching the temple."

Huo Yuhao addressed the priests with a solemn expression.

"As ordered."

The priests, who were high and mighty to mortals, were extremely obedient before the supreme god.

Huo Yuhao nodded, then transformed into a streak of light and disappeared without a trace.

What he didn't realize was that an imperceptible tail was always following him.

Amidst the misty sea of ​​clouds, a majestic temple is hidden in a soft halo of light.

Huo Yuhao's eyes immediately became respectful, all traces of his previous arrogance gone.

Because this is the Temple of Poseidon.

When they were a hundred meters away from the temple, Huo Yuhao landed back on the ground and obediently walked forward.

The God Realm is much more stable now, but it still needs a God King to oversee the central authority. Therefore, Tang San did not leave; as for him, he came to be with his wife.

"Should we go in?"

Unbeknownst to Huo Yuhao, an invisible aura of immortal energy was thoughtfully gazing at the temple.

Having witnessed Huo Yuhao's discovery of something amiss, Nan Liujing became much more cautious.

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Surely, there must be a treasure within the Sea God's Palace, containing compressed immortal spiritual energy.

"Done."

Nan Liujing resolutely followed.

It turned out that he was right.

Unlike Huo Yuhao, the Sea God Temple had no special restrictions at all, because Tang San didn't believe anyone would dare to trespass into the Sea God Temple, especially since he was now the most respected person in the God Realm, and even Ji Dong and Lie Yan had to be slightly inferior to him.

Compared to the quiet Temple of Emotions, the Temple of the Sea God is quite lively. Amidst the beautiful scenery, groups of priests patrol back and forth, numbering more than fifty, including even a third-level deity.

The difference between a third-level god with a divine position and a priest without one is like heaven and earth. These people all have smiling faces, presumably guarding the home of a god-king, and it is considered an honor.

Withdrawing his gaze, Nan Liujing flew directly into the Sea God Temple.

The main hall is a circular hall, with fluorescent seaweed providing soft lighting, and different passageways leading to different locations.

Looking in the direction Huo Yuhao had left, Nan Liujing immediately chose another passageway.

Before long, he arrived at a very secluded room with the door tightly closed. After easily slipping inside, he found it to be a place that resembled a surveillance room.

Countless beams of light appeared in a row, and upon closer inspection, they turned out to be different temples, with the occasional figure of a deity flying by.

Nan Liujing clicked his tongue and thought to himself, "It seems you're not only monitoring Douluo Star, but also the God Realm. But I thank you, as it has helped me figure out the terrain of the God Realm." After memorizing the locations of the various temples, Nan Liujing quickly left.

After failing to find any compressed spiritual energy in five rooms, he finally found good luck when he entered the sixth room.

In the large room, there were many bottles and jars, which seemed to contain some blood. There was also a table made of divine wood, which was placed quietly in the center of the room. On it were two books and a lamp. It was unclear what the lamp wick was, but it contained a concentration of immortal energy far exceeding that in the Death Ray Tower.

Nan Liujing's eyes lit up, and he immediately absorbed most of the energy inside the lamp wick, leaving only a small portion. Then, he habitually glanced at the two books.

It wouldn't have mattered if I hadn't looked, but once I did, my pupils immediately contracted.

The covers of the two books clearly displayed three words.

[Mysterious Heaven Skill]

Upon closer inspection, although it is the same Xuan Tian Gong, the color of the book cover is completely different.

Unable to touch the physical object, Nan Liujing couldn't open the book to read it. When he was in trouble, he suddenly thought of a way to use some of the energy he had just absorbed from the lamp wick to power his hands.

Sure enough, after this operation, the hands were still invisible, but they could clearly touch physical objects.

With a rustling sound of pages turning, Nan Liujing immediately understood the difference between the two Xuan Tian Gong manuals.

The book on the left is the complete version of the Xuan Tian Gong, while the book on the right is the new version of the Xuan Tian Gong that Tang San is currently improving. It records a few cultivation methods related to bloodline fusion, but there are still relatively few, indicating that it has only been improved recently.

Nan Liujing's eyes flickered slightly.

Although he hadn't seen much of what happened in Seasons 4 and 5, he knew some of the details.

In Season 5, after Tang San went to the Fairy Continent, his Xuan Tian Gong mutated to the point that he could absorb the bloodline of fairies to strengthen himself. Now it seems that this mutation is probably fake. The truth is that Tang San had already planned to improve the Xuan Tian Gong.

Come to think of it, the Golden Dragon King relied on his physical body to fight against several God Kings. Although he was eventually killed, the physical strength of the beast race gods was indeed too fierce. No wonder Tang San had ulterior motives.

Ignoring the improved version of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Nan Liujing lightly touched the complete version of the Mysterious Heaven Skill with his finger.

During Season 1, after cultivating, Ji Xiang went from an ordinary person to a Soul Master because he had opened up all eight extraordinary meridians. His final cultivation level was not mentioned, but Xiao Wu gave him a divinely bestowed Soul Ring, and Tang San instructed Ji Xiang to absorb it when breaking through to the ninth ring. This is enough to show that the complete version of the Xuan Tian function can make an ordinary person with great resources leap over the dragon gate, let alone someone as intelligent as Ji Xiang.

In Season 2, the Xuan Tian Gong inherited by the Tang Sect was already a stripped-down version. It was helpful for cultivating soul power, but it had little effect on ordinary people because the cultivation method of opening up the eight extraordinary meridians had been removed.

After a moment of deep thought, Nan Liujing decisively memorized the complete version of the Xuan Tian Gong.

Having done all this, he turned and left, intending to explore the Temple of Poseidon one more time.

During this leisurely stroll, Nan Liujing indeed discovered quite a few treasures, including as many as eight divine artifacts. However, what they all had in common was that these divine artifacts were somewhat damaged and showed signs of having been refined. There were also many other types of treasures, ranging from genuine divine herbs to various materials, filling several rooms.

This time, Nan Liujing didn't waste the immortal energy he extracted from the lamp wick to collect these things, and he quickly arrived at the third floor of the Sea God Temple.

There are very few rooms here, and the decor is noticeably warmer, indicating that some people live here regularly.

Nan Liujing randomly chose a room and went inside. Before he could even take a closer look, he suddenly heard a sigh.

It's a woman!

"Could it be Xiao Wu?"

The only women who can live in the Sea God's Temple, besides Tang Wutong, are Xiao Wu.

With the idea that Tang San had already seen it, Nan Liujing flew over following the sound of the sigh.

When they passed through a closed door and entered a very large room, Nan Liujing's pupils suddenly contracted.

Just a meter away, in the spacious bath, a flawless, snow-white body, not particularly curvaceous but slender and graceful, lay bathing. Nearly withered petals were scattered on the water's surface, as if reflecting the woman's face, which was filled with a thousand worries.

With hair flowing like a waterfall, who else could it be but Xiao Wu?

"Feel sorry."

Without any hesitation, Nan Liujing turned around with a strange expression and left, heading towards the destroyed castle without stopping for a moment.

"Ok?"

Tang San, who was sitting alone in the Divine Realm Committee, quietly opened his eyes. His gaze was deep and seemingly empty, yet it faintly exuded a sense of annihilation.

Why am I suddenly feeling so unsettled?

Tang San muttered to himself, and subconsciously, he turned his head and saw that the potted plants on one side of the hall were gradually becoming more lush and green.

Tang San paused for a moment, then smiled casually.

The fact that the Divine Realm Committee can produce green again indicates that it won't be long before the Divine Realm escapes the sticky spacetime turbulence.

"Green is wonderful!"

Tang San chuckled softly and closed his eyes again to stabilize the central hub of the God Realm.

At that time, inside the destroyed castle.

Nan Liujing looked down at the divine seed he had just obtained, "I hope you can bring me a surprise."

No sooner had he finished speaking than an invisible hand suddenly grabbed him and dragged him back to the God Realm Committee, his consciousness being teleported back to Douluo Star.

Before the condensed liquid was destroyed, Gu Yue waited there with a worried look in his eyes.

Startled by the light, Gu Yue rushed forward, only to bump right into Nan Liujing.

With a soft, warm body in his arms and a delicate fragrance filling his nostrils, he recalled a certain scene, and even with Nan Liujing's unwavering will, he became somewhat distracted.

Xiao Wu was, after all, someone else's wife, and he didn't share the Prime Minister's tastes.

"Senior brother." Gu Yue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Nan Liujing was unharmed, but couldn't help asking, "Where did you go?" She didn't believe the story about him going to the God Realm for a stroll.

"They went to retrieve the contents from inside the condensate."

Nan Liujing suppressed his inner turmoil and immediately took out a crimson-gold seed of divine power.

"A seed of godhood?" Gu Yue, with his vast knowledge, recognized it at a glance and couldn't help but be surprised.

“Hmm.” Nanliu Temple nodded. “But it’s still unclear which deity it is. Wait a moment, I’ll figure it out.”

After saying that, the Scepter of Destruction appeared in Nan Liujing's hand. Under his command, the intent of destruction instantly shattered the restrictions built into the seed of godhood.

A series of messages flooded into his mind.

"Ancient God?"

Nan Liujing murmured.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's expression immediately became somewhat strange.

"What's wrong?" Nan Liujing asked curiously.

Gu Yue said, "This ancient god is the main god who fell at the hands of the dragon god. Among the main gods in the god realm, he is one of the most powerful individuals."

"He was a primordial being, born in a dark ley line. Unfortunately, shortly after his birth, his planet was invaded by another abyssal plane. All the intelligent life on the planet perished. When the lord of the abyssal plane found him still in the incubation stage, he was overjoyed and prepared to devour him. However, the five God-Kings of the Divine Realm arrived and annihilated the abyssal plane. The Goddess of Life could not bear to see her fellow primordial being die like this. With the consent of the other God-Kings, she gave him the primordial energy of the abyssal plane as nutrient solution for his successful incubation."

"The power wielded by the lord of this abyss plane is a void-like darkness. Therefore, the primal power that the ancient god already possessed was now imbued with a dark power. However, because of the combination of the two, this dark power is not evil, but rather extremely pure."

A strange look immediately appeared in Nan Liujing's eyes.

Savage power—it sounds like a power-type ability, plus the power of darkness…isn't this exactly what was made for Yuanen Yehui?
Gu Yue said quietly, "So, senior brother, shouldn't you tell me how you obtained the Scepter of Destruction and the Seed of Godhood?"

Nan Liujing smiled and said, "Let's go sit in the valley. We'll share everything we know about what you want to ask and what I want to know."

Gu Yue smiled gently: "That works too."
