Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 209 The God of Destruction Unleashes a Torture, Leaving the Goddess of Life Speechless
"Just leave it here."

Carefully monitoring the movements of the surrounding beasts, Gu Yue telepathically instructed everyone to place their storage bags in a designated spot, and then indicated that they could leave.

Upon hearing this, the geniuses from the Douluo Continent did not delay. Although they were puzzled as to why Nan Liujing could not leave, they all maintained their professionalism of never pressing for answers.

After everyone left, the space in front of them suddenly began to writhe under the watchful eyes of the women.

Immediately afterwards, Nan Liujing emerged from among them.

"Senior brother."

"Ajing."

"Flowing Scenery".

The four women shouted in unison.

"I made you worry."

Nan Liujing's gaze fell on the four women's stunningly beautiful faces, and he said apologetically.

Ye Xinglan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed: "Is it really impossible to leave?"

Nan Liujing nodded helplessly: "Completing the test of the divine artifact will probably take about two years, otherwise I would like to go back to the warm kang with you guys."

"Hmm~"

This was the first time they had ever encountered Nan Liujing so boldly flirting with all four of them at the same time. The four women subconsciously looked at each other, as if they had touched on some taboo, and their pretty faces couldn't help but blush.

Although the decision to share has been made, the fact that this matter has been brought to the forefront still leaves people somewhat bewildered.

Nan Liujing saw this, smiled, and instructed, "When we return to the Douluo Continent, Yue'er will help you complete the Godhood Assessment mission. Anyone who dares to slack off will be in for a good spanking when I get back."

"You rascal," Ye Xinglan said coquettishly.

Wu Siduo suddenly spoke up: "It will take about two years to complete the test. By then, Liu Jing, won't you be eighteen years old?"

"What's wrong?" Nan Liujing asked, puzzled.

Wu Siduo smiled, "Although the requirements for Soul Masters are different, according to Federal law, eighteen years old is considered a true adult. Since one is an adult, then..."

She didn't finish her sentence.

"So, what?"

Ye Xinglan blinked in confusion.

Yuan Enhui's high breasts seemed to freeze, her breath coming in ragged gasps, her heart pounding wildly.

Gu Yue's silver eyes, like moonlight spilling onto the ground, revealed an unusual glint.

Wu Siduo gently put her arm around Ye Xinglan's shoulder and said with a mischievous smile, "You'll know when the time comes."

Ye Xinglan was still somewhat confused. In the mind of the swordsman girl, besides swordsmanship, she thought about living a peaceful life with Nan Liujing and occasionally having a little sparring. She hadn't thought about anything else yet.

Nan Liujing touched his nose; he decided not to get involved in this kind of topic.

He's not good at theory, but he's quite good at practical application.

These two years should be used to recuperate and build up strength. Eighteen years of experience will be unleashed in one go, and no one can compete with us.

Gu Yue coughed lightly and said, "Senior brother, that Soul-Nourishing Wood seems to be missing. Did you take it with you?"

Nan Liujing suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look, but there was no longer any Soul-Nourishing Wood in the water and grass.

He paused, then couldn't help but sigh, "I'll try my best to look again, but if I really can't find it, then there's nothing I can do."

After collecting the storage bags, Nan Liujing hugged everyone in turn, marking their temporary farewell.

After watching the four women leave, Nan Liujing flashed back into the small space.

As soon as they entered, they heard Leng Yaozhu's delighted voice, "Liu Jing, come and take a look."

Nan Liujing had no choice but to walk into the nearby grove. Before she even got close, she could vaguely hear the sound of flowing water, and there seemed to be some kind of mist floating in the air.

Could it be?

Sure enough, after walking along a small path that had been cleared by people, Nan Liujing saw Leng Yaozhu squatting next to a small hot spring pool.

Leng Yaozhu happily cupped the perfectly warm spring water in her hands, saying, "Although I've reached a level of cultivation where I'm no longer tainted by worldly affairs, being able to soak in a hot spring is still a wonderful thing."

Nan Liujing stepped forward and said in surprise, "The life energy contained in this spring water seems to be extraordinary."

Leng Yaozhu said seriously, "When you're tired, you can come and soak in the water. By the way, did you get the things?"

"Ah."

Nan Liujing waved his hand, and a pile of storage bags floated in the air. "I used my mental power to check, and there are more than 60,000 alien crystals in the storage bags, but the quality is generally not very good."

Leng Yaozhu stood up: "Let's get down to business without delay."

"it is good."

Nan Liujing responded and returned to the Ancient Tree of Life, preparing to extract the life force from the alien crystal and return it to the Ancient Tree of Life, following the method given to him by the God of Destruction.

Watching Nan Liujing's departing figure, Leng Yaozhu's lips curled into a strange smile.

She glanced back at the hot spring pool, a captivating allure subtly appearing in her wine-red eyes.

"That's it."

Beneath the ancient tree of life, Nan Liujing arranged tens of thousands of exotic crystals according to a special array pattern.

The next moment, with the help of the natural realm, he fully activated the magic array.

Instantly, the enormous magic array solidified, and streams of light flowed from within the array, passing through the surface of the crystal, making the luster inside the alien crystal even brighter and more shimmering.

"Click."

Soon, many cracks appeared on the surface of the alien crystal, and finally it burst open like a balloon. Strands of life force of different concentrations automatically sensed the aura of the ancient tree of life and quickly disappeared into the trunk.

A voice that was extremely gentle yet somewhat wary immediately came to mind.

"Only my lover knows how to use the Life Condensation Beads. How did you learn it?"

Nan Liujing's expression changed slightly, and he honestly said, "It was given to me by the God of Destruction. Are you his wife? The God King of Life?"

"I am," the goddess of life replied, delighted. "Is he alright? That's wonderful!"

In Nan Liujing's mind, the Scepter of Destruction seemed to have sensed something, and the dormant soul of the God of Destruction was about to awaken.

Nan Liujing paused, then said in a deep voice, "On the contrary, the situation of the God of Destruction is extremely pessimistic."

"why?"

The goddess of life felt a pang of anxiety.

Nan Liujing said solemnly, "After meeting Senior Destruction, he told me about your and his deeds, including the conditions for resurrection. Unfortunately, Senior Destruction was betrayed by Tang San. He should have escaped the plane under the jurisdiction of the God Realm and settled in a plane where no gods had ever been born. However, due to Tang San's interference, he was forcibly settled in the Douluo Plane, so there was no hope of resurrection. He was supposed to perish completely in another thousand years. I just didn't expect that I would accidentally establish contact with him and activate his remnant soul. After a conversation, I learned about his current situation." "It seems that not only was Senior Destruction tricked by Tang San, but you, Senior God King of Life, are not in much better shape either."

"If it weren't for the divine power injected into this batch of life beads, I'm afraid your remnant soul wouldn't have been able to awaken."

silence.

Nan Liujing spoke repeatedly, but received no response from the Goddess of Life.

Nan Liujing wasn't in a hurry and continued to extract every last bit of value from the remaining heteromorphic crystals.

He didn't even need to guess to know that the goddess of life was currently undergoing a brainstorming session.

A few seconds later, the Goddess of Life's incredulous voice rang out: "How is this possible? Why would Tang San act like this? Could there be some mistake?"

Just as Nan Liujing was about to say something, he suddenly sensed the remnant soul of the God of Destruction awakening within the Scepter of Destruction.

He promptly shut his mouth.

I won't interfere in your marital affairs.

The next moment, the God of Destruction's angry reprimand rang out: "Little Green! What kind of bewitching drug did Tang San give you?"

"Little Purple?" The Goddess of Life paused, then said with delight, "You're really alright, that's wonderful."

"What a load of crap!" The God of Destruction had never swore at his wife before, but now, he really couldn't take it anymore.

"Little Purple?" The Goddess of Life was stunned.

The God of Destruction said in an unfriendly tone, "When we chose to sacrifice ourselves, I prepared an escape route. Afterwards, both your and my origins would fall into an unknown realm, but a plane where no gods were ever born. But what happened? If this child hadn't awakened my remnant soul, I would still be in the dark. A thousand years later, with no hope of resurrection, I would have perished with resentment. Who else but Tang San could be a god who could interfere with our origins? Why are you still so stubborn?"

The goddess of life was speechless.

The God of Destruction continued to unleash his fury, trying his best to suppress his anger and refrain from swearing: "Yes, Tang San foresaw the coming disaster, and I launched the power grab at the worst possible time. I admit to that. But what about now? We sacrificed ourselves to save the God Realm, yet Tang San is trying to cut off our hope of resurrection. This is an irreconcilable feud!"

The goddess of life, by nature indecisive, was further bewildered after being scolded by her lover: "Then what should we do?"

The God of Destruction suppressed his anger and said, "The God Realm has been swept away by the spatial turbulence and will not return for a very, very long time. I intend to place my last hope on this child, to help him become a god and help us choose another plane to be reborn. As for Tang San, I will settle this score with him one day."

The Goddess of Life carefully sensed her current situation, and her expression subtly changed.

This small plane itself has suffered a calamity, and its fundamental nature is extremely weak. Let alone resurrecting a god-king like her, it would be difficult to even give birth to a single priest. At most, in another thousand years, the Tree of Life will be unable to maintain the vitality of her fundamental nature, and she will perish completely.

Having learned the whole story in an instant, the Goddess of Life's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Tang San really wanted to kill her. In fact, if she died, all living beings in this small plane would perish as well.

I know I'm... never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore, the more I think about it, the more brain-dead I become.

"Little Purple, what should I do?" the Goddess of Life asked solemnly.

The God of Destruction said with satisfaction, "This child has gained the approval of the Thunder God. You know Ling Ting's character. We can work together to help this child become a god. I have already handed over the Scepter of Destruction to him, and you will also transfer control of the Tree of Life to him."

"it is good."

The goddess of life agreed without hesitation.

She noticed a very familiar aura emanating from Nan Liujing's body. If he were to control the Ancient Tree of Life, he would likely be able to unleash considerable power even without reaching the divine level of cultivation.

The couple discussed it for a while.

The path has been basically paved for Nan Liujing. The only thing Nan Liujing needs to do himself is to collect alien crystals from the alien beasts.

Because the underlying code for the appearance of the alien beasts is designed to protect the Goddess of Life during her rebirth, once the program is started, it cannot be stopped unless she is resurrected. Therefore, Nan Liujing can only hunt the alien beasts and obtain the alien crystals himself. Then, the remnant soul of the Goddess of Life will help by building a connection between the Ancient Tree of Life and Nan Liujing, commonly known as maximizing their affinity. After that, the super artifact will be completely half-bound to its master.

Unexpectedly, investing 60,000 alien crystals in one go failed to create much of a splash.

Ultimately, the quality of these alien crystals was indeed too ordinary. For Soul Masters from the Douluo Continent or mages from Licheng who could enter the forbidden zone, the alien crystals they could collect in large quantities came from alien beasts below the Soul Emperor level. Alien beasts above the Soul Emperor level mostly liked to stick together. Even a Soul Master with an amazing physique like Long Yue would be torn apart when facing groups of alien beasts, often numbering in the hundreds, that ignored any attribute advantages.

"Looks like I'm in for a busy day."

Nan Liujing looked at the ancient tree divine mark that had just been planted on the back of his hand by the Goddess of Life, his eyes suddenly sharp.

This time, he encountered another alien beast. If he died, he could not be resurrected. He could only rely on his absolute strength to kill the powerful alien beast. The only advantage was that, with the assistance of the Ancient Tree Divine Seal, he could use the 'God' Battle Armor.

time flies.

The days of the restricted area being open are finally over.

This time, apart from the people of Youcheng being unhappy, the magicians of the other three cities, as well as many forces in the Douluo plane, also made a fortune.

After a banquet, early the next morning, Guan Yue and Zang Xin led their team to take one last look at the depths of the forbidden zone. After confirming that everything was going smoothly for Xu Nanliujing, they left the small plane with the main force.

Just as Leng Yaozhu had guessed.

The highest-ranking person in the Heavenly Phoenix lineage, along with her disciple, remained in the minor plane and did not emerge, causing a great uproar inside the Spirit Pagoda.

Qian Gu Qingfeng and Xia Zheng Leng completely trusted Gu Yue's words and remained calm throughout. However, the others inside the Spirit Pagoda had differing opinions; who could be sure whether Gu Yue's words were true or false?
The newly appointed tower master suddenly resigned. Under suspicion, Qian Gu Die Ting chose to take office again, without giving his youngest son, Qian Gu Dong Feng, a chance to make a comeback. He was willing to wait and see.

But not making a comeback doesn't mean that Qian Gu Dong Feng can't cause trouble.

After all, he had been in power for decades and had accumulated a large number of followers.

On the Tian Dou Continent, thousands of miles away, Qian Gu Dongfeng excitedly began planning to have the 'Crown Prince' ascend the throne.

As long as Qian Gu Zhangting becomes a candidate for the tower master, he can still control everything from behind the scenes.

Spirit Pagoda, your great master will eventually return!

……

Small plane.

Deep within the restricted area.

The roaring sounds continued in a loop.

Ten ferocious beasts lined up in a row, each exuding an aura comparable to a low-level Title Douluo. Their green-gold eyes, though brimming with life, remained as indifferent as dead pools, locked onto the figure clad in strange armor ahead.

"Zizzizi."

Blinding arcs of electricity leaped and exploded across the grass like serpents, sending countless blades of grass flying. A dark blue dragon-patterned staff rested diagonally on the ground, its blade covered in floating dragon scales, as if it were alive.

Beneath that battle armor, a deep, dark light quietly emanated from those dark blue eyes.

"laugh--"

Suddenly, a streak of deep blue lightning flashed by, like a shooting star piercing the night, and instantly arrived in front of the ten strange beasts.

The dragon-shaped staff swelled in the wind, instantly transforming into a colossal pillar supporting the sky. Its crushing force was like the collapse of the heavens, stirring up the primordial energy within a radius of a thousand meters. The surrounding space could not bear the burden and shattered like thin, brittle glass.

"The hunt has begun."
