Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

Rolling his eyes, Qian Shui had no intention of playing matchmaker for Bing Di and Tian Meng. However, if this guy really had the ability to win Bing Di's heart, then he would have no objection.

"Ice God... let's forget about it..."

Tianmeng's interruption relieved Gu Yuena. As a human, she was just imitating the novel, but she didn't expect to be in such a predicament.

If Qian Shui accepts it and her humanity takes over, what will happen to her? She started this fire herself! She can only say that she has to thank the Tian Meng family, even though this Ice Silkworm might be the only one left in the entire family.

She decisively accepted the topic of 'god,' and her soul beast companion began to demonstrate her astonishing knowledge!

"So-called divine revelation is actually the manifestation of the sublimation of life energy after it has reached a certain level."

In fact, the original definition of "god" originated from this group of humans. Therefore, the most advanced beings among the humans of these various planets created the realm of gods. And within the realm of gods, they established a series of systems.

At that time, whether human or beast, anyone who cultivated to that level and could break through the final bottleneck could ascend to the realm of gods and become a deity. Furthermore, they were divided into different levels based on their potential and strength.

Qianshui, who was squatting next to Tianmeng, chimed in, "So it's the classification of realms as priest, second-level god, first-level god, and god-king?"

"Yes, there are five great god-kings in the divine realm. They govern the divine realm committee, rule the divine realm, and also supervise the lower realm."

However, since the divine realm was originally created by these superior humans, these human deities within the divine realm naturally developed a sense of superiority.

At first, nothing seemed amiss, but as time passed, an idea emerged within the divine realm: that beasts were inherently meant to serve humans. The human deities naturally began to oppress, and even enslave, the beast deities.

"Good, evil, destruction, life, Asura?"

Gu Yuena's expression hardened. She knew there was no problem; she herself could be considered the former Dragon God, but Qian Shui was different. "You actually knew?"

"Hey, go ahead and continue. Actually, I'm quite interested in the Dragon God War."

Gu Yuena frowned even more deeply. She had only thought that Qian Shui was an extremely powerful human, but she never expected that he even knew about the Dragon God War.

However, she didn't dwell on it. After all, Qianshui occupied the place where the Ice and Fire Dragon King fell, and the Dragon God War wasn't some absolutely unknowable secret.

"Human gods are indeed very powerful. They control the nexus of the divine realm and have five god-kings. Their strength far surpasses that of beast gods, so the beast gods can only endure it."

Until one day, a beast god suffered extremely unfair treatment and nearly perished, which finally enraged the beast gods.

The five great god-kings dealt with the priest who had treated the beast gods unfairly, but they still could not quell the beast gods' anger.

Enraged, the Dragon God proposed to lead the Beast Gods away from the God Realm and establish their own God Realm.

The Divine Realm Committee, controlled by the five Great God-Kings, naturally disagreed, leading to a huge conflict. The Dragon God temporarily refrained from this and chose to compromise.

Not long after, when he felt he was ready, he led the Beast Gods in launching a war in the realm of gods.

This is the Dragon God War!

"So the Dragon God lost, right? Otherwise, we wouldn't be discussing this here. I should ascend to the God Realm by now, right?"

Perhaps it was Qian Shui, who was squatting with him listening to the story, that gave Tian Meng confidence, and he actually dared to speak up.

However, something seemed off about his words, and both big shots turned their gazes to him.

"Why are you all staring at me like that? I...I guessed wrong?..."

"Brother Tianmeng, all those years of brains you've had haven't gone to waste!"

Qian Shui's teasing did not reassure Tian Meng; instead, it made him break out in a cold sweat, probably because he was nervous.

"This war lasted for a long time in the realm of gods and brought a disaster to the realm of gods. More than a third of the human gods perished in this war, which was the heaviest blow since the founding of the realm of gods."

However, in the end, the Beast Gods still failed.

The power of the Divine Realm Council was too great; the Dragon God was cleaved in two by the Asura God, one of the five Great God-Kings, with a single sword strike.

"So you're one of them?" Qian Shui indicated that this was no secret to him at all, and he also knew that the Golden Dragon King was still sealed in the God Realm.

"You guessed right, the Dragon God is the highest-level deity, and He is immortal. Even the God-King cannot truly kill Him, as His primordial power comes from the chaotic energy at the time of creation."

Although he was cut in two by the Asura God, he did not die, but instead split into the Golden Dragon King.

And I, the Silver Dragon King!

After Gu Yuena finished speaking, Qian Shui also shared his guess.

It's true that it's possible he couldn't have memorized the whole book; he could only guess based on his memory of the plot and the actual information he gained from Douluo Continent.

"So in the end, the human gods completely drove the beast gods out of the divine realm, and you, the Silver Dragon King, who was the incarnation of the Dragon God, hid in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Since then, there have been no more beast deities in the divine realm. All beasts that were qualified to ascend to the divine realm were suppressed in the lower realm and unable to ascend.

This is the fundamental reason why tribulations occur when soul beasts advance in rank, right?

"That's right!"

"I was even thinking of taking you to the sea with me... but I'll let it go if you get targeted."

Your injuries haven't fully healed, and I'm not prepared either. If the gods were to descend, then everything would truly be over.

After Gu Yuena finished telling her story, Qian Shui understood that it was best for this dragon to stay put. Going out for a trip was fine, but playing around with it would easily turn into a taunt skill.

"Is it still because of the eighth trial of Poseidon?"

She stood up, habitually patting her butt—a gesture she hadn't done in a long time. With her higher cultivation level, Qian Shui sometimes felt less like a human being. "Yeah, Deep Sea Demon Whale King, aren't you really going to do anything about it?"

"Yes, but it's unnecessary; this is a necessary sacrifice."

Qian Shui understood Gu Yue Na's meaning: as long as the mission was successful, resurrection was entirely possible. However, this was a hardship for Qian Shui, as it effectively sealed his killing move.

If he had killed it at first sight, wouldn't the giant whale have been annihilated? How would it have been able to revive then?

"Alright, but I have to take this guy with me." Qian Shui pointed to Tian Meng, who was still squatting to the side, with a rather serious expression.

This startled Tianmeng so much that she plopped down on the ground. "Eek~ Water God, can't we not go?!"

"Not going?! I've been working on the communications satellite for months, it's your turn now! You promised, why are you going back on your word!"

Speaking of this, Qian Shui was no longer sleepy. How could making a phone call be so easy? Especially with wireless communication, which is several generations ahead.

After all, this is a fantasy world, where brute force can be used to break the rules. The solution is for him to become the 'communication satellite' himself. That's why Ning Rongrong saw Xue Qinghe sleeping all the time and Ning Huahua cultivating the whole time.

"what…"

"What the hell?! Did you eat my food for free?! Did you play cards for free?! And we haven't even settled the score for that pear wood card table! Do you know how much that thing costs?! You don't want Xiaoxue to chop you up, do you?!"

Forced by Qian Shui's power, Tian Meng had no choice but to comply. "Fine, fine! I'll go, okay... but you have to guarantee my safety!"

What he didn't know was that Qian Shui had actually been planning to exempt him from the pear wood mahjong table issue for a long time.

"Don't worry, you'll have bodyguards."

"Then it's agreed!"

"Alright, I'll take this guy with me then~"

Before Qian Shui could even see what Gu Yuena's expression was at the end, he grabbed Tianmeng's pajamas and flew away with him in a flash.

Tilting her head, Gu Yuena seemed to understand Xue Di's feelings. "Does that mean a marriage alliance with me is bad?"

However, if she wants to compete, Miss Angel is most likely no match for her.

But thinking that she would eventually merge with the Golden Dragon King and become the Dragon God again, she might not have the trouble with her chest anymore. Qian Shui probably wouldn't like that, right?

...

"Minister Yin, what exactly is he trying to do?"

"Dean Erlong, you've asked this question hundreds of times already. You'll know the answer soon enough. What's the point of me telling you? Do you like being spoiled when you read a novel?"

Ignoring the bumpy ride of the troop transport vehicle, Purple Pearl, who had been reading the novel all the way with the strength of a Soul Emperor, agreed, "Indeed! I have to beat up anyone who spoils the plot!"

"Look, Wuhun City!"

As they spoke, the group drove out of the dense forest, and the hexagonal city wall of Wuhun City came into view in the distance.

They took the path through the Star Dou Great Forest, which led directly to Wuhun City, eliminating the need to detour westward and then travel to the Lima Plain to enter Jialing Pass.

Just then, a huge angelic mark suddenly appeared in the sky above Wuhun City, followed by an incomparably blazing figure charging straight towards the group.

Chapter 290 Qian Renxue Kills Xue Qinghe, Utter Chaos Arrives [6000 words]

"Uncle-Master, good Uncle-Master, please let me out! Look, Gan Gan wants to go out too!"

At the foot of Papal Hill, Qian Qingyu, leading a lamb and looking rather mischievous, was just a hair's breadth away from slipping away when Hu Liena stopped him.

"Hey, Xiao Qing'er, you ran off as soon as your teacher left?"

"Oh dear, Junior Uncle, the Papal Palace is so stuffy, I just want some fresh air!"

Hu Liena, hands on her hips, was furious. This was truly her senior brother's good son; both of them loved to wander around. The former had been doing this for ten years, and now this junior brother wanted to join in too?

"Don't even think about it, child! You know there's still a war going on outside, with bows and arrows flying everywhere. But that's not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is bad people! The scariest thing isn't ghosts or gods, it's the human heart! That's what they mean by the unpredictability of the human heart, you understand?"

Seeing Hu Liena's lecturing tone, Qian Qingyu got annoyed. Both her parents were like this. She waved her hand, wanting to say, "Come on, the scariest one is me..."

What he wanted to say was that the scariest thing was his own mother, who really beat him!

However, the sudden shadow falling behind him made the child's scalp tingle, and he quickly changed his words, saying, "The scariest one is of course my dad!"

What's so scary about me?

"Of course it is..." Just as she was about to blurt it out, Qian Qingyu turned her head and saw her smiling father.

"Senior brother! You're back!"

"Nana, you look even more beautiful!"

Qian Shui was still dressed in blue, looking lazy, with his arms tucked into his sleeves, teasing Hu Liena.

Hu Liena naturally knew that Qian Shui was commenting on her charm techniques. Her face flushed, and she stamped her foot playfully, saying, "Senior brother! Don't talk nonsense!"

“Nonsense? You can’t talk nonsense!” Qian Shui grabbed her son’s collar and pointed at his messy blond hair, saying, “This kid needs to be disciplined. I need to talk to him about what’s so scary about me.”

The little lamb beside her bleated, its square eyes narrowing in a human-like way, as if laughing at Qian Qingyu for trying to run away but failing.

She scooped up her son and poked his little head. "You little rascal! You're trying to say the scariest thing is your mom, aren't you!"

"Hmm..." She first pouted and admitted it, then Qian Qingyu immediately sounded the alarm, "Dad! You can't tell Mom!"

“Alright…” Qian Shui squinted at her son, then turned back and walked towards Wuhun Mountain. “Nana, time is of the essence. I’ll take this kid to the Elder Hall.”

"Goodbye! Senior Brother..." In the blink of an eye, Qian Shui disappeared from Hu Liena's sight, and could no longer be seen.

...

"Qingyu, why is Mommy scary?"
