After hanging up the communication with the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Xue Donglai let out a long sigh. He had lived for nearly 600 years.

Ever since he took over the throne from the previous emperor, the situation on the continent had been unstable. Managing a country was not so simple, especially with the four kingdoms within the borders being restless and showing a tendency to split the land and declare themselves emperors... Although Xue Donglai was the Emperor of Douluo and his own strength had reached the realm of Limit Douluo, after ten thousand years of development, the other kingdoms might not be much inferior to the empire.

After all, Divine-grade Martial Souls were not exclusive to the royal family. The three kingdoms that separated during the chaos were actually aided by families with God-bestowed Martial Souls, and that was why the royal family couldn't do anything about them.

After so many years of development, these four kingdoms had become deeply entrenched and could not be easily eradicated. Even if he was as strong as a Limit Douluo, he couldn't do it.

Unless a god descended to the mortal realm and forcibly interfered, or this emperor of the empire could recreate the glory of his ancestors, break through level ninety-nine, and become a god at level one hundred!

Then, he could naturally use the mighty power of a god to force those kingdoms to submit without a fight, truly returning them to the empire's jurisdiction.

Unfortunately, becoming a god was not that simple.

Those who possessed God-bestowed Martial Souls were naturally blessed, but they were also limited by them.

The legacy of their ancestors allowed them to easily reach the peak of Soul Masters at a very young age, but they were also stopped there. They couldn't transcend the shackles of God-bestowed Martial Souls and couldn't make any further breakthroughs... To become a god, unless they could inherit the divine position of their ancestors, it would naturally be a matter of course. Or, if they could gain the favor of other gods, they could also break through the shackles.

But unfortunately, no one had been able to do it for thousands of years.

Xue Donglai didn't have anything to complain about. After all, if it weren't for the God-bestowed Martial Soul, he wouldn't have been able to become the emperor of this empire, let alone become a Limit Douluo at a young age. It could be said that everything he possessed now was given to him by the God-bestowed Martial Soul.

He wouldn't be so arrogant as to think that he could reach his current realm without the God-bestowed Martial Soul, relying solely on himself.

...

On the other side.

Li Chang'an watched as all the ferocious beasts had been transformed into demons, leaving only the Silver Dragon King still in the process of transformation, which was estimated to take a while to complete. He then withdrew his massive true form, comparable to a planet, and appeared in front of the demons in human form.

In fact, he didn't want to make his existence known to everyone. It was the first time he had become so large, and he couldn't control it for a while, or rather, he didn't realize his existence was so conspicuous. After all, compared to the vast starry sky, a dragon body comparable to a planet was just a speck of dust.

After realizing that his dragon body was exposed to all living beings, he immediately cast a spell to hide it, preventing others from seeing his majestic body.

So, in fact, it didn't disappear after appearing for a while, but remained in place. It was just that people couldn't see it anymore.

"Great King..." Ziji and the others gathered around.

Li Chang'an nodded lightly and said, "Your mission has been successfully completed, and you will be greatly rewarded. Now, return to the Demon Realm."

After speaking, he tapped lightly, and ripples like water waves suddenly appeared in the void, and then... the towering bronze gate appeared!

"This is the entrance to the Demon Realm." Ziji proudly showed off to the newly joined Emperor Heaven demons: "Spectacular, isn't it!"

"It is indeed spectacular!"

Emperor Heaven and the others pretended to be shocked and nodded blankly in agreement. In fact, Emperor Heaven was pretending. After all, having witnessed the glorious era of the Dragon Clan, this little scene couldn't shock him. But the other ferocious beasts were really shocked.

"Rumble!!!"

Accompanied by earth-shattering roars.

The immensely huge bronze gate slowly opened, revealing a vortex that seemed to be able to devour everything.

"Let's go, we'll go in first."

Ziji and other seniors transformed back into their true forms and flapped their wings towards the vortex. Seeing this, Emperor Heaven and the others did not hesitate and also transformed back into their true forms, rushing into the vortex after them.

At this time, only Li Chang'an and the Silver Dragon King were left here.

He glanced at the still-sleeping Silver Dragon King, slowly stretched out his hand, and the power of space surged!

Suddenly, the huge Silver Dragon King's entire body slowly floated up, then became smaller and smaller... until it finally fell into his palm, it had become about the size of a gecko.

"Looking at it this way, it's quite cute."

Li Chang'an muttered, looking at the shrunken Silver Dragon King in his palm.

"It's time to go back."

He was very satisfied with the harvest of this trip. Especially the addition of the Silver Dragon King, this was a God King of the same level! The feedback it could bring him was completely incomparable to other demons.

Li Chang'an didn't need to covet her Creation Godhead, because as long as the Silver Dragon King could join the Demon Clan, then everything about her would be fed back to him to a certain extent... No matter how much feedback, it couldn't compare to what the Silver Dragon King's body possessed. The help to him was also far greater than imagined!

With this kind of cultivation, accepting the feedback and support of all demons... Li Chang'an, as the ancestor of all demons, would sooner or later reach the realm of "omnipotence". Able to master the talents of all demons.

Li Chang'an put away the shrunken Silver Dragon King, and finally, his whole body turned into a stream of light and shot into the bronze gate, disappearing.

After all the demons went in.

The towering bronze gate also quickly closed the two doors. Then slowly faded away until it completely disappeared.

...

Demon Realm!

"What a rich power of heaven and earth!"

"Is this the Demon Realm!"

"Cultivating in such a place, it would be strange if your strength wasn't strong!"

"Yes, Great King."

Ziji and the others accepted the order.

Li Chang'an nodded lightly, then turned into a stream of light and flew to the center of the Demon Realm, the towering mountain!

He soon arrived at the Demon Ancestor Hall on the top of the mountain.

Then he released the Silver Dragon King from his sleeve and released it onto a square, returning to its original size.
