Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

……

The Milky Way is dazzling, and starlight flows.

Pulled along by Xiao Wu in a hurry, Xuan Ming didn't even have time to greet his old acquaintances on Douluo Star before he passed through the dimensional portal and arrived in this brand new world called "Elf Star".

The moment it landed, a surge of life energy, so rich it was almost tangible, rushed towards it.

Unlike the complex atmosphere of Douluo Star, which has been technologically modified and even carries a hint of industrialism, the air here is outrageously pure. Taking a deep breath feels like your very soul has been cleansed.

As far as the eye can see, there is an endless primeval forest.

Towering trees, entwined vines, and exotic flowers and plants are everywhere.

On the distant mountain peaks, the shadow of a giant dragon could be faintly seen circling, emitting roars that shook the heavens and the earth.

"This is Elf Star?"

Xuanming looked around, sensing the active elemental fluctuations around him, and nodded slightly. "Na'er has indeed put in a lot of effort. Although the laws of this place are simple, they are pure, making it a good place for soul beasts to recuperate."

"of course!"

Xiao Wu released Xuan Ming's hand, opened her arms, took a deep breath, and her face was full of ecstasy. "This place was chosen by Sister Na'er, Sister Life, and me after a long time. There is no human intrigue, no chaotic atmosphere caused by soul tools, only the purest nature."

"For us soul beasts, this place is simply paradise!"

Xuanming smiled, and seeing the girl's excited expression, he unconsciously relaxed as well.

"Since we're here, let's go see some acquaintances first."

Xuanming said, "Isn't Ditian working as a butler here? And Da Ming and Er Ming, I haven't seen them in a long time either."

"They..."

Xiao Wu pointed to the tallest mountain in the distance, "They're all over there. That's the core of the Dragon Domain, and also Di Tian's lair."

The two did not use their divine power to teleport, but instead walked slowly through the jungle.

As they walked, Xuanming casually asked, "By the way, speaking of Da Ming and Er Ming, I remember that Xiong Jun and Chi Wang ascended to the God Realm not long after they leveled up on Douluo Star, right? Why haven't Da Ming and Er Ming gone up yet?"

"Xiong Jun and his group just got incredibly lucky."

Xiao Wu pouted, "Sister Na'er opened a back door for them in order to cultivate the backbone of the soul beast race, and directly threw those guys into the Forbidden Land of Gods. That place is now the most terrifying place in the God Realm in terms of energy, because the auras of you and Sister Na'er, the two supreme gods, are still there. One day of cultivation there is equivalent to a year outside."

"Di Tian was able to break through to the God King Realm so quickly thanks to that place."

"As for the Great Ming and the Second Ming..."

Xiao Wu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "These two guys are scared by the work system in the God Realm."

"Scared?" Xuanming raised an eyebrow.

"Yes."

Xiao Wu vividly described, "They could have ascended to heaven back then. But at that time, Sister Dongdong was implementing a system of all employees working in the God Realm."

After hearing that after ascending to the upper realms, not only will you not be able to sleep every day, but you'll also be chased by Sister Dongdong with a whip to do chores, write reports, and travel to various dimensions on business trips..."

"As you know, Da Ming is calm and collected, but he also likes quiet; Er Ming is even lazier, all he does is eat and sleep. As soon as they heard that being a god is more tiring than being a soul beast, these two immediately changed their minds and refused to ascend no matter what."

"Five thousand years later, Ning Fengzhi and the others retired. The environment on Douluo Star changed, and they felt bored. Just then, Di Tian was short of manpower on Elf Star, so they called them over."

"Being a mountain king here, patrolling the mountains and bullying little soul beasts, how carefree would that be?"

Xuanming was both amused and exasperated.

So Bibi Dong's reputation as the "Empress of the Gods" has become a security door to prevent ascension?
"However, there is one advantage to them not ascending."

Xiao Wu suddenly blinked and whispered mysteriously in Xuan Ming's ear, "That means... nobody cares."

"No one cares?"

“Yes,” Xiao Wu said with a mischievous smile, “In the realm of gods, there are rules everywhere, and eyes are watching everywhere. But here… hehe.”

She grabbed Xuanming's hand and pushed him directly into a hidden cave nearby.

"This is my territory, and it's also our private world."

"Brother Xuanming..."

Xiao Wu's voice suddenly became soft and sweet, and she pressed her whole body against him, her big eyes shimmering with undisguised allure.

"Just now on Douluo Star, in front of so many people, there were some things that were hard to say and some things that were hard to do."

“Now…” Her fingers gently traced across Xuanming’s chest, her fingertips carrying a hint of burning heat.

"Shouldn't we catch up on that year's homework first?"

Inside the cave, the light was dim, which only added to the ambiguous atmosphere.

Xiao Wu clung to Xuan Ming, her warm breath spraying against his neck like a feather gently plucking at his heartstrings.

However, Xuanming stood there, his brows furrowed, and a clear look of difficulty on his face.

"Xiao Wu..."

He tried to push the girl away from his arms, but was afraid of hurting her, so his hand froze in mid-air, seemingly unsure what to do. "Um... could you wait a moment?"

"wait?"

Xiao Wu paused, looked up, and a hint of doubt flashed in her large, watery eyes, which then turned into a dangerous glint. "Waiting for what? Waiting for that blonde Qian Renxue?"

Xuanming's heart skipped a beat.

How could this girl guess so accurately?
"Ahem..." Xuanming explained somewhat awkwardly, "It's not that... it's just that you know Xue'er's temper. Back in the God Realm, I already... well, in a sense, acted first and asked later. If I come back this time and talk to you first again... I'm afraid she really will tear this Elf Star apart."

"and……"

Xuanming's voice lowered, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes, "Back then, I rushed off to condense my divine position partly because I was running away. I didn't know how to face you, or how to balance things. I felt it wasn't fair to you."

“I am responsible for this matter. My greed and my philandering have led to the current situation. I don’t want you to suffer because of me, and I don’t want to see you get hurt because of jealousy.”

"So, I think we should still..."

"Should what? Should we follow seniority? Should we go and appease that arrogant young lady first?"

Xiao Wu interrupted him, her tone a mix of exasperation and amusement.

She released Xuanming, took a step back, put her hands on her hips, and looked him up and down. This man, who clearly possessed world-destroying power, was incredibly cowardly when it came to matters of the heart.

"Brother Xuanming, you are the Primordial God! You are the Lord of the God Realm, the mighty 'Heaven'!"

Xiao Wu pointed a finger and poked his chest with a look of exasperation. "Why are you still like this? Can't you be a little more assertive?!"

"What do you mean by 'unfair to us'? What do you mean by 'we've been wronged'?"

"Do you think we were forced to stay? Do you think we were kidnapped by your so-called divine power?"

Xiao Wu's voice became serious. She looked directly into Xuan Ming's eyes. At that moment, she was no longer the lively little rabbit, but a god-king who had truly experienced the trials of time.

"The reason we stayed and were willing to accept this seemingly absurd large family was simply because it was our own choice."

"We love you, and we accept the price of loving you."

"This is not something you owe us, but rather a consensus we share."

At this point, Xiao Wu took a deep breath, stepped forward again, and got closer to Xuan Ming once more.

This time, there was no teasing in her eyes, only an intense and unwavering affection.

"And don't use Qian Renxue as an excuse."

“I know her temper. Although she’s fierce, she’s actually more perceptive than anyone else. Since she agreed to the lottery for the shifts and let me take you away first, it means she’s already tacitly approved of it.”

"She's not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"

Xiao Wu's fingers gently hooked around Xuan Ming's belt, her voice becoming low, husky, and alluring.

"As for me……"

"Do you know? I have been waiting for this day for a full twenty-seven years."

"Twenty-seven years may not seem like a long time in the realm of gods. But if you include the years I spent working in various mortal realms and tirelessly working for the sake of the divine realm..."

"I have been waiting for you for thousands of years."

"A thousand years of longing, a thousand years of loneliness, a thousand years of waiting..."

Xiao Wu's eyes were slightly red, but she stubbornly refused to let the tears fall.

"I don't want to wait any longer."

"I don't want to wait even a second longer." (End of Chapter)
