Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

Because, on the surface, the gods cannot interfere with the mortal realm; that is to say, they can only act according to fate, such as the inheritance of the Sea God Island.

Qian Shui understood this very well. Without the Heart of the Sea God, no matter how talented you are, you cannot obtain the Sea God's Nine Trials and inherit the divine position. In the original timeline, Tang San was actually in a situation where the Sea God and the Asura God had no choice but to inherit the dual divine positions.

Even Poseidon commented that Tang San's talent might not be the strongest she had ever seen, and that someone stronger, like Tang Chen, was an exception.

However, Tang Chen could not inherit the position of the Sea God, since it would cost his woman's life.

He did indeed find the position of the Asura God, but Rakshasa tampered with it, causing the succession to fail.

In the original timeline, the Slaughter City had already been destroyed by Tang San after Tang Chen's death, so only a few living Slaughter God Domain holders were qualified to inherit the Asura God position.

Among Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, Tang Hao, and Tang San, Tang San has cultivated the God of Slaughter Domain the best. Hu Liena is not qualified, and Bibi Dong is the inheritor of the Rakshasa God and is at odds with the Asura God. In fact, there is only Tang San and his son.

Although Tang Hao was strong, at this point, at level 97, he was inferior to Tang San. Therefore, Tang San was the only option for the God of Asura to quickly inherit the divine position and punish Rakshasa.

But this is not a problem for Qian Shui at all. There are many choices in Douluo Continent. As long as he wants and has enough time, he can cultivate several beings who can break through level 100 on their own.

The premise is that he can safely return to Douluo Continent.

"So, you mean Shura can also be won over?"

Through divine thought, Qian Shui transmitted a message to Poseidon, outlining his detailed plan, which Poseidon found highly feasible.

“If there are no vested interests involved, and He disagrees, then He can just wait for the divine realm to descend into chaos, and then wait tens of thousands of years to find a successor. I have no objection.”

If you want to relinquish the divine examination, the gods will most likely not agree, but if you overturn the divine realm, they will find the conditions very acceptable.

"You're something else! I agree, but you have to..."

Before the words were finished, a furious roar, carrying overwhelming killing intent, came from outside the Temple of Poseidon: "Poseidon, what are you doing?!"

"Go!" Poseidon shoved the golden trident into Qian Shui's hand and opened the passage to Douluo Continent without hesitation. With a whoosh, the couple was sent away in a burst of golden light.

What disappeared along with it was naturally the terrifying calamity cloud.

"Hmph! Poseidon, if you want to die, I can grant your wish sooner!"

The air inside the entire Sea God Temple seemed to freeze, and the Sea God's expression turned somewhat grim. "Shura, what are you doing here?"

"What are you pretending to be confused about!" The Asura God roared in fury, sneering, "Not only have you caused a commotion that could affect the entire realm, but you've also brought the inheritor to the God Realm! You've violated the rules of the God Realm! Do you know the consequences? Violating the rules of the God Realm means annihilation!"

At this moment, the Asura God was extremely enraged. His aura surged to its limit, and boundless killing intent locked onto the sea god Poseidon.

Poseidon's expression changed, and his voice turned icy. "Shura, stop spouting nonsense! Don't think that just because you're an enforcer of the divine realm, you can frame good gods at will!"

"Which eye of yours saw my successor? And what did that commotion have to do with me? I don't know what happened, and you're accusing me of something just because I happened to be here?"

"Do you think I'm a fool? I can clearly sense both Qian Shui's aura and that of the angelic successor. Who do you think his God of Slaughter Domain comes from?!" Clearly, the Asura God had no intention of listening to the Sea God's explanation and was about to attack.

At this point, Poseidon dropped the pretense and said, "Isn't it just that you want an heir?!"

As expected, Shura's figure paused, and Poseidon had the opportunity to reveal Qianshui's plan.

Upon receiving the information transmitted by Poseidon's divine will, the Asura God's aura also faltered.

"The flow of time is different in the divine realm and the mortal realm. He must already possess the power to intimidate the entire divine realm. If you don't want him to cause chaos, then accept it. If we compromise, everyone can live in peace. You can't gamble the fate of the entire divine realm on whether he has that ability!"

Interests and power are always the most important factors in determining one's fate. As a deity, the Asura God lived longer than Poseidon and even personally split the Dragon God in two.

The war between the Dragon Gods had already severely damaged the divine realm, and it is said that it has not yet recovered. To gamble or not to gamble is not a choice, but a matter of understanding.

Seeing that the Asura God was thinking, Poseidon pressed his advantage, "This was not my intention either. Shouldn't you hold the culprit accountable? You must know that your previous successor was tricked and killed by Rakshasa."

The Asura God remained noncommittal to Poseidon's words, "Tang Chen? Although he has achieved divine soul, he is severely damaged. I haven't decided whether to expend my divine soul to help him repair it."

Since Tang Chen was mentioned, the Asura God's attitude softened somewhat, and Poseidon quickly advised, "Does it really matter whether you cultivate or not? You have more than just Qian Shui as a candidate, don't you?"

Since he has the ability, it'll only take a few days. We'll leave once we've completed our inheritance. If you don't want to become a god, Qian Shui has a lifespan limit; even if he breaks through level 100, it's the same. He'll die sooner or later, so why worry?"

"Hmph! I'm not as optimistic as you!"

……

"Old Ghost, how long has the storm at sea been going on?"

"Has it been almost three months?"

On the city wall of the east coast of Douluo Continent, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan and Ghost Douluo Guimei were gazing at the stormy sea.

"Sigh... It's all thanks to this storm, otherwise, who knows how long this sea spirit beast tide would have lasted." Yue Guan looked dejected, toying with his martial spirit, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, in his hand.

However, the chrysanthemums no longer appeared so sharp and unusual; instead, they looked extremely ordinary, with a sense of returning to simplicity.

Seeing his old friend like this, Ghost also felt a little emotional, "If it weren't for his immortal herb, you and I would have died long ago. How could we be guarding Dragon Rising City with the other guards?"

"Yes, but it's been five years. I don't know when they'll be able to come back, or even if they'll ever be able to..."

Chapter 304 Returning to Douluo Continent, the Storm Temporarily Subsides [6000 words]

"Has the storm stopped?"

Upon hearing Ghost Douluo's words, Yue Guan also gazed towards the sea.

“Since taking advantage of the situation to capture Longxing City back then, the majority of the Spirit Hall’s combat power has been deployed on the eastern coast of the continent. Unfortunately, this beast tide is really endless.” With a sigh, Yue Guan’s expression became solemn. “Fortunately, there is this storm. It’s the eighty-first day. Let’s prepare. The storm has stopped, and the beast tide is coming again.”

The number nine returns to one, and the number of storm days that Chrysanthemum Douluo knew so perfectly matched this extreme number, so it was naturally extraordinary.

"Nine treasures emerge from the glazed tiles, and the eighth day brings healing!" If one had a perspective outside of Douluo Star, they would surely see a giant glazed tile tower stretching across the sky at this moment.

At this moment, the Glass Pagoda was not surrounded by spirit rings, but each layer had a red pattern engraved on it, and the top layer was even radiating nine golden patterns of crimson gold.

Beneath it, enveloped in a golden light that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth, was Qian Shui, her body charred and no longer recognizable as human.

Suddenly, a petite figure shrouded in black light burst through the sea and arrived in front of Qian Shui.

The black figure was none other than the dark lolita, Little Demon Qianqian, dressed in a short black skirt.

"Is it over?" The intensity of the lightning that broke through to the Nascent Soul stage was too high, and Qianqian, who was with Qianshui, was the most afraid.

To avoid misfortune, she could only hide at the bottom of the sea, living in constant fear. She was also in great pain, having been caused this state by a wicked inner demon.

As his body gradually recovered, a man with a gleaming bald head and a body as exquisite as jade appeared. "Yes...it was really tough...I was struck by lightning for eighty-one days straight, accumulating the ninety-nine extreme numbers. I was completely numb from all the striking..."

Seeing that it was still Qianqian, Qianshui understood that Qianrenxue was still not ready. Fortunately, the child hadn't run around while he was breaking through. At this moment, she was covering her eyes, not daring to look at Qianshui, while shouting, "Hey! Can you put on some clothes first!"

"I don't believe you haven't seen it~" Qian Shui, with her hands on her hips, was clearly in a good mood and was even teasing Qian Qian.

"Ghost!"

"Alright, enough joking around." To appease the host, she pinched her fingers, and Qian Shui, acting as the external brain, transformed into a black-haired child. "Would this be better?"

"Hmm." Qianqian narrowed her eyes and looked at Qianshui, who had also turned into a child. She felt a little better.

"Let me see Xiaoxue's spatial soul tool."

"Oh." Qianqian took off the gold wristband from her wrist, the only thing that didn't match her overall black style, and gave it to Qianshui.

"Let me see, oh~ I've got it, my clothes from when I was little, and the clothes I prepared for Qingyu." With a turn of her head, Qianshui draped a platinum and gold long robe over her shoulders.

Blinking her eyes, Qianqian was also very surprised, "How come she has all kinds of clothes?"

After all, this outfit also came from Qian Renxue's spatial soul tool. According to Qian Shui, it was prepared for her future daughter. It was an extremely rare black dress, and she had to be careful when wearing it.

“If you have sons and daughters, it’s the same~ Xiaoxue has had the potential to be a good wife and mother since she was a child. She takes care of all my eating, drinking, toileting and sleeping!” Qianshui said, hands on her hips.

"Why are you so arrogant? You must be completely incapable of taking care of yourself."

"Pah! Pah! Pah! Why don't you say that Xiaoxue wanted to be my biological mother, so she spoiled me rotten!"

"Be your biological mother? Then what about your biological father..."

Qian Shui waved his hand to stop the two boys from arguing about their fathers. He felt he couldn't possibly drag himself down to Qian Qian's level and then be outmaneuvered by her rich experience. "Enough! Let's go back to Douluo Continent, we have important business to attend to!"

"Oh."

As Qianqian unfolded her six black wings, Qianshui reached out and summoned the Trident of Poseidon, which had sunk to the bottom of the sea, back to its master's (temporary master's) hand.

"Head due west, advance four steps!"

"Wait for me!"

"Oh dear...that was too fast..."

If you were to describe what the Nascent Soul stage felt like to Qian Shui, it would be that the entire world was under his control, and he had probably reached the level of a planetary-level life form.

With a thought that flew through his mind, Qian Shui grabbed Qian Qian's wrist, who had just caught up, and cut through space, taking a step to arrive in a city.

"No, if you can teleport, why do I need to fly?"

He gave an awkward laugh; he had to get used to it eventually. "I just didn't realize it for a moment..."

However, Qianqian seemed to have a knack for hitting Qianshui, "I think you just want to shout 'Forward four!'"

The two communicated very smoothly, thanks to Qianqian's reclusive behavior during her inner demon tribulation, which completely emptied Qianshui's mind of what little knowledge she had.

"Where is this?"

"Longxing City, what a memorable place!" Qian Shui's mind was filled with wild memories, but he couldn't laugh for the next moment.

"Why is Dragon Rising City now only populated by high-level Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall..."

Qian Shui understood why there were no civilians among them: it was because he was the one who did it.

After Dai Mubai returned to the Star Luo Empire, he led his troops to attack Tian Dou City. The first thing he did was to capture Longxing City, an important town in the eastern part of the Tian Dou Empire.

But what they got was an empty city; the strategic retreat had already taken place before the war even started. Since the other side was going to die more, all they had to do was prevent them from killing more people.

We must prevent the enemy from doing what they want to do, and make them do what they don't want to do.

A simple strategic approach.

Through this, Qian Shui discovered that not only Longxing City, but the entire eastern coastline was home to a large number of elite Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall, as many of them were familiar faces.

It can be said that even the six great elders of the Hall of Worship have been mobilized, but Qian Daoliu's aura is still in Wuhun City.

"What the hell? Are they putting on an armed parade, fighting with thin air?" Qian Shui, who hadn't yet understood the situation, felt that these people had no idea what they were up to, and their vigilance was focused entirely on the sea.

As a seasoned schemer, since the situation was still under control, he didn't want everyone to know he was back. The key was that Qianqian beside him was hard to explain, and he couldn't even return to Wuhun City.

If Qian Daoliu saw this, he would surely go berserk and kill his own granddaughter. After all, what kind of dark six-winged angel is this? In the old man's eyes, wouldn't this be a definite heretical path?

However, he had a more direct way to get the information. With a flick of his hand, the poor Poseidon Trident was thrown back into the sea by Qian Shui. With a splash, it entered the water in a perfectly executed manner, without even a single drop of water being splashed.

Why throw it away?

"Used as an anchor point. Although we don't know what they're doing, with the power of the Sea God suppressing them, there shouldn't be any major problems along the eastern coast. And if something happens, we can withdraw our manpower." He clapped his hands, activated his divine sense, which covered the universe, and suddenly connected to a mental network that also covered a vast area.
