Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

Gu Ran didn't try to ride the wave of popularity this time. He was still bothered by the fact that he didn't participate in the final battle, so he only planned to act as the officiant at everyone's wedding as the emperor of the continent, as a small compensation for himself.

The God of Desire was quite interested in this, and grabbed Chen Xin's arm, saying, "Chen Xin, you've never been married before, have you? Shall we attend this wedding too?"

Chen Xin immediately refused firmly, "This is a wedding for the younger generation. Why should we older people get involved? Besides, I need to be Tian Lin and Rong Rong's witness. Let's talk about it next time."

The God of Desire was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, but not saddened, because Chen Xin's last words, "Let's talk about it next time," meant that he would not attend this wedding and would hold one on his own in the future.

Just as everyone was laughing, a figure silently left the venue and departed from Wuhun City under the cover of night; it was Qian Renxue.

She had just reached the city gate when Tianlin, who had been watching her closely, called out to her, "Are you leaving?"

"I have a lot of things to do, and besides, you haven't proposed to me yet." Qian Renxue turned to look at Tianlin, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Sister Xue, I will never forget you, no matter what. It's true that you weren't at this wedding, but..." Tianlin pulled Qian Renxue into his arms and whispered something in her ear.

Qian Renxue's previously disappointed eyes immediately brightened. "Are you serious? You mean it, you won't go back on your word!"

Tianlin nodded, "Of course it's true. I, Jun Tianlin, always keep my word. But Rongrong will definitely cause trouble then, so you have to help me."

Qian Renxue teased, "Who told you to be so fickle? Besides, I've envied her my whole life, what's wrong with letting her envy me just this once?"

"Alright, looks like I'll have to figure out a way to appease this jealous person myself." (To be continued!)

Lin said helplessly, "There's another matter, Sister Xue, please take out Bibi Dong's soul."

"Hmm!" Qian Renxue flipped her hand, and a pure white soul seed appeared in her palm. Bibi Dong had been filled with hatred and had killed countless people, but she never expected that she would let go completely before her death, making the soul seed so clean.

Unfortunately, this did not allow Tianlin to simply ignore the crimes she had committed. Tianlin took Bibi Dong's soul, infused it with the power of utmost goodness using the Holy Spirit Pearl, completely eliminating the power left by the Evil Spirit Pearl, and repairing her soul. Then, with a flick of his arm, he sent the soul to an unknown place.

"Mother, have you been reincarnated?" Qian Renxue asked.

“Yes, she will go through life after life, using the good deeds of many lifetimes to atone for the sins of this life. But don’t worry, I have sealed her memories with the Holy Spirit Pearl, and I have also reserved the position of Rakshasa God for her. Once she has redeemed all her sins, she can return to her godhood, and her memories will be restored. Then you and your daughter can be reunited,” Tianlin said with a smile.

"Thank you, Tianlin!" Qian Renxue tiptoed and gently kissed Tianlin's lips. "I'm leaving now. Before I ascend to the God Realm, I will travel all over the continent, doing good deeds and accumulating merit. After all, besides my mother, I still have many debts to repay to all living beings in the world. Goodbye."

Qian Renxue has left. Sometimes she was indecisive, but other times she was very free and easy.

Several days later, the wedding, which received blessings from all over the continent, finally took place.

The main characters are Tianlin and Rongrong, and others include Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Yufeng Huanyin, the Shi brothers and their wives, Ma Hongjun, Bai Chenxiang, etc.

It is said that in the days leading up to the wedding, the number of marriage proposals from mainland China increased dramatically, especially from several single girls who participated in the wedding, such as Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Bing'er, who received countless proposals every day.

Of course, the final result was a cold rejection; they preferred to be Rongrong's bridesmaids.

Oslo has also been frantically searching for true love these past few days, but unfortunately, true love doesn't come easily, so he can only give up and obediently be everyone's best man.

However, he made up his mind. If he couldn't find her in the mortal realm, he would go to the divine realm to find the goddess. Thanks to the Holy Emperor's reward, his aptitude increased again, and he is now on the verge of becoming a first-level god. Fortunately, due to the chaos caused by the Evil Sword Immortal, there are many empty god positions in the divine realm, and he can try to inherit them.

Fireworks burst in the sky; the weather was exceptionally fine today. After all, even heaven and earth had to give face to the Holy Emperor; who would dare to disrupt his wedding?

Couples walked hand in hand from the square into the palace hall. The person sitting on the main seat was not Emperor Gu Ran, but Tian Lin's parents.

As the supreme emperor and empress dowager of the empire, they were fully qualified to be the elders of all people.

These two people, who were destined to live ordinary lives, never imagined they could achieve such glory. By nature simple and honest, they were not greedy. Tianlin gave them honor, and they were willing to pass on the blessings to all people in the world.

A wedding of the century was successfully completed amidst everyone's blessings.

Chapter 622 Promises and Weddings

Postscript to Douluo Continent

More than a hundred years have passed since the great war in Douluo Continent.

The Douluo Empire's imperial palace and the Douluo Martial Soul Royal Academy are now filled with statues of the heroes who saved the world back then.

Now, all those heroes except Gu Ran and Ye Lingling have ascended to the divine realm and become gods to be revered.

Gu Ran reigned for a century, dedicating his life to governing diligently and keeping in mind Tian Lin's teachings. He never slacked off for a single day, and the mainland's development flourished.

Before Tianlin left, he left them all with a trace of the Holy Emperor's divine power. With this, he and Ye Lingling had both surpassed the Limit Douluo level and reached level 100. Although they did not have a godhood, they had a long lifespan and their appearances were not much different from before. However, they often missed the days when they fought side by side with their brothers.

The once-powerful Royal Fighting Team is now reduced to just the two of them on the continent. They often feel lonely, and thus, they have begun to consider stepping down.

But just a few years ago, war broke out again. However, it was not a civil war, but rather the Sun Moon Empire, which was supposed to clash with Douluo Continent ten thousand years later, collided with it prematurely.

This is actually related to Tianlin. When he moved the continents back then, although he didn't move the Sun and Moon Continent, the movement of the other continents still caused the Sun and Moon Continent to move as well, which led to the Sun and Moon Continent colliding with the Douluo Continent ahead of schedule.

At this time, although the research on soul tools on the Sun Moon Continent still surpassed that of the Douluo Continent, the gap was not as large as it would be in later generations.

In terms of strength, Douluo Continent far surpasses Sun Moon Continent. Gu Ran immediately sent an envoy to the Sun Moon Empire, stating that he had no intention of starting a war and wished for the two continents to live in peace.

However, the Sun Moon Continent had great ambitions. Their battles mainly relied on controlling soul tools with soul power. Seeing that the development of soul tools in the Douluo Continent was not as good as theirs, they assumed that the power of the Douluo Continent was nothing special and then launched a war.

Although Gu Ran inherited Tian Lin's benevolence, he also inherited his master Gu Rong's ruthlessness. Benevolence is not indulgence. They've come to our doorstep; if we don't fight back, we'll be letting them live through the New Year.

Without hesitation, they summoned the soul masters from the continent, perfectly demonstrating what a difference in power truly meant.

The strongest in the Sun Moon Empire is Silver Moon Douluo, the head of their Mingde Hall, who is level 95 and can barely fight against a Limit Douluo using a soul tool.

At this moment, the powerful figures who appeared on Douluo Continent frightened them so much that they dared not move.

The power of the Holy Emperor back then has resulted in nearly a hundred hidden Title Douluo on the Douluo Continent. Moreover, the spirit rings of these hundred people are all divinely bestowed spirit rings by the Holy Emperor, as a reward for their contributions to the continent in the fight against the Evil Sword Immortal.

In addition to Gu Ran and Ye Lingling, there were several other level 100 experts, and people also made a ranking of the others besides the emperor and empress.

First, there's the Supreme Elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, Thunder God Douluo Yu Tianxin, the elder brother of the true Thunder God Yu Tianheng. For the sake of the clan, he refused Yu Tianheng's offer to take him to the God Realm and voluntarily stayed behind to guard the clan. Yu Tianheng then bestowed upon him the Thunder God Mark, greatly increasing his talent and lifespan, making him extremely powerful. It is said that he can even borrow the power of the Thunder God to fight, earning him the title of Thunder God's Messenger. He was also the first Title Douluo to use the title of Thunder God, ranking fourth in the world at that time.

Rakshasa Douluo Dong'er, the number one genius of Douluo Royal Academy in nearly a hundred years, possesses twin martial souls: the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor and the Death Spider Emperor. Initially, many people dared not approach her because of these two somewhat intimidating martial souls, but after actually interacting with her, they discovered that she was kind-hearted, cheerful, and generous, and had always enjoyed helping others since childhood. Coupled with her beauty, she instantly became the academy's goddess. Gu Ran recognized at a glance that this girl was the reincarnation of Bibi Dong, and immediately ordered that she be well nurtured and educated.

As a result, Dong'er gained access to a wealth of resources and reached the Title Douluo realm at a young age. After graduation, she joined the Spirit Hall to oversee all the Soul Masters in the world. She dedicated her life to maintaining peace on the continent. Grateful to the academy and Gu Ran, she did not become the Pope of the Spirit Hall in her old age, but instead chose to return to the academy to teach, hoping to cultivate an even more outstanding next generation. Now she is a highly respected vice dean of the academy, second only to Dean Gu Ran, and ranked third on the continent.

The sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Glazed Douluo Jun Liuli, is a legend of the continent. She is the daughter of the founding emperor Jun Tianlin, kind-hearted, and has saved countless lives. She is as beautiful as a celestial being and is said to be inheriting the position of the God of Kindness in the God Realm. She has passed eight out of nine trials and is the number one support in the world. She also has the divine weapon Feiwen Huanri Divine Sword, which was forged for her by the Craftsman God Lou Gao Fei before his ascension. Combined with the swordsmanship left by her father Jun Tianlin and her great-grandfather Chen Xin, she can support herself while fighting. Her combat ability is so strong that she can be called the second strongest in the continent.

Jun Yuetian, the Guardian Douluo of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Demon Sword Douluo, is a legend of the continent. He is the son of the founding emperor Jun Tianlin, an unparalleled genius of his time. His swordsmanship is unparalleled throughout history, approaching that of his father Jun Tianlin and great-grandfather Chen Xin. He is decisive in killing and has punished countless evildoers. All evil soul masters tremble at the mere mention of his name. He had already obtained the vacant God King position in the God Realm, the recognition of the God of Evil. However, he is proud and unwilling to follow others' lead, and is committed to creating his own godhood. He is currently only one step away from becoming a god. He named his self-created godhood the Demon God. He has a famous saying: "The sins of all living beings are boundless. If the gods will not save them, only I, the Demon God, can!" He is ranked number one in the world.

Under the leadership of the Emperor and Empress, four level-100 experts, and nearly a hundred titled Douluo, the Sun Moon Empire was no match for the Douluo Empire and was pacified in just a few days.

Gu Ran adhered to the principle of Tianlin to subdue the enemy with minimal killing, and his campaigns focused on subjugation, resulting in the surrender of most enemy troops and minimal bloodshed.

After obtaining all the methods for making soul tools from Mingde Hall, the development of soul tools on the mainland once again took off.

After this battle, Gu Ran and Ye Lingling abdicated, and the throne was inherited by their child, Gu Nianlin.

After abdicating, the two devoted themselves to cultivation. Because of their contributions to the continent, they finally sensed the power of the plane and successfully inherited the positions of the continent's plane master and the core of life god.

At this moment, Gu Ran, who had become a god, sensed an alternate dimension approaching the continent. He estimated that it would collide with the Douluo Continent in 30,000 to 40,000 years. That dimension was the Abyss.

Moreover, this world belongs to a higher plane than Douluo Continent, and once the battle begins, the outcome is unpredictable.

Gu Ran originally wanted to go to the God Realm to ask Tian Lin for help, to actively draw this plane over, to preemptively devour them, and then to allow the Douluo Continent to advance.

However, Ye Lingling rejected this suggestion. She believed that Tianlin was the God Emperor and should treat all planes of the universe equally. She could not let him help Douluo Continent absorb other planes, as this would be against the natural order.

In the end, the kind-hearted Ye Lingling made a decision. She borrowed the Holy Spirit Pearl from Tianlin, then transformed herself into a Nine-Heart Begonia and entered the core of Douluo Continent. She used her life core divine position and the endless life power within the Holy Spirit Pearl to nourish the plane and assist the continent in its advancement. In this way, even if the abyss attacked, Douluo Continent could resist.

Tianlin admired Ye Lingling's determination from the bottom of his heart and lent her the Holy Spirit Pearl without hesitation.

From then on, Ye Lingling and Gu Ran were temporarily separated. Ye Lingling transformed into a begonia flower and entered the Earth's core, nourishing the continent for three thousand years. Gu Ran also guarded the Earth's core for three thousand years.

Finally, three thousand years later, the plane was promoted, and apart from the few who were born with divine power, others could also break through to level 100 without the help of a divine position.

Gu Ran and Ye Lingling also completed their godhood advancement due to the continent's progress, becoming god kings.

They later went into seclusion in a beautiful place where birds sang and flowers bloomed, continuing to secretly protect the peace of the continent.

Postscript: Divine Realm Postscript

The divine realm suffered greatly from the chaos caused by the Evil Sword Immortal.

At that time, in addition to the Evil God King and the Seven Deadly Sins, gods who resisted to the end, such as the God of Destruction, were also killed. Fortunately, Douluo Continent has developed very rapidly, and many geniuses have emerged in recent years, which have slowly begun to replenish the scattered god positions.

Although the Evil God King was devoured, the true spirit of the Evil Sword Immortal did not completely dissipate after his death. It flew out of his body and drifted to an unknown place in the universe. The Kind God King sensed this and chose Jun Liuli, the daughter of Tianlin, to pass on his divine position to her. Then, like the Asura God, he flew into the universe to search for the scattered true spirit of the Evil God King.

The God of Destruction knew that this situation was entirely due to his own mistakes. In order to atone for his sins, he did not pass on his divine position, but instead took on the divine duties of those dead gods to ensure that the world could function normally.

He has hardly rested for almost ten thousand years. Even the God of Asura back then would probably feel admiration if he saw the God of Destruction in his current state. Although the God of Life felt sorry for her husband's busy work, he did not stop him. He knew that only by throwing himself into his work could the God of Destruction temporarily forget the past and not live in guilt forever.

Upon arriving in the God Realm, Tianlin began assisting the God of Destruction in his expansion plan. The black holes and spatial storms that the other God Kings had worried about were completely insignificant to Tianlin, who was at the God Emperor level. He could easily disperse them, which inadvertently saved Lei Xianghailong and the others. However, it also caused them to lose the opportunity to enter the Great God Circle and remain as local God Kings in their own planes.

With Tianlin's help, the divine realm expanded a thousandfold, and the power of the planes was greatly amplified, enabling it to accommodate more god-kings and even supreme god-kings.

Therefore, the Divine Realm Committee relaxed the restrictions on the number of family members that gods could bring. Second-level gods could bring one family member, then first-level gods two, god-kings three, supreme god-kings four, and so on, with the highest god-emperor being able to bring five.

At that time, Tianlin and Ning Rongrong possessed a total of the following divine positions: the First-Level Divine Sea God, the Supreme God King Asura God, the Supreme God King Holy Empress, and the God Emperor-level Holy Emperor, which allowed them to bring fifteen family members with them.

This number was enough to bring up the two people's most cherished relatives, including Tianlin's parents, Yin Yang, Dugu Bo, Gu Rong, and others. Even Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, since they each had their own divine positions and could save their spots, chose Ning Rongrong's brother and sister-in-law, etc., because they couldn't waste them.

Chen Xin was eventually captured by the God of **. After all, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, not a thief for a thousand days. The God of ** drugged Chen Xin every day in different ways. As long as Chen Xin made a mistake once, he would be in trouble.

However, even the hardest steel can be softened by gentle touch. Perhaps Chen Xin only fell for it because he compromised, after all, who can ignore the charm of the god of desire?

This also had its advantages. Chen Xin was even stricter with his son than with his disciples, sending him to Douluo Continent for training. Later, his son joined the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and they had a biological son on Douluo Continent. The Seven Kill Sword was not lost like in the original story; it finally had a successor.

Furthermore, thanks to the fact that even second-level gods can bring people along, Meng Yiran, who couldn't become a god, and the wives of the Shi brothers, were also brought up. These guys are quite clever; they didn't have children in the human realm but instead had them reborn in the god realm. One can't help but admire their clever methods.

There's also Qian Renxue. As the Supreme God King, she also has four slots. She uses one slot to resurrect her grandfather Qian Daoliu, and the other three slots are for her second grandfather Jin E Douluo, her adopted sister Princess Xue Ke who would be all alone if she left, and Bibi Dong's disciple Hu Liena.

Compared to Bibi Dong, Hu Liena is also her daughter, and she cherishes her from the bottom of her heart.

Hu Liena's mind control has been lifted. Having all the memories of the period she was under control, she neither blames nor dares to blame Tian Lin. After all, they were enemies back then, and she was the one who killed him first. No amount of revenge from Tian Lin would be too much. Besides, Tian Lin only asked her to do things and did not ruin her reputation.

However, this made her somewhat resentful. Such a good opportunity, yet Tianlin remained unmoved. Was she really that unattractive?

Years later, after enduring countless hardships, Bibi Dong returned as a goddess. When she held her two daughters and smiled a pure and happy smile, Qian Renxue knew that everything she had done was worthwhile. Now, Bibi Dong had no more hatred in her heart, only love. Even though she was still the Rakshasa God, it was she who controlled evil thoughts, not the other way around.

Inside the Holy Emperor's Palace, Tianlin has not been idle over the years. He has been diligently fulfilling the divine duties of the Holy Emperor, leading his companion divine beasts, including the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, the Ice Snow Maiden, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Xiaobai, and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, to explore the way for humans and soul beasts to coexist.

Now, Gu Yuena has completely merged with the power of the Golden Dragon King, passed the Dragon God's test and become the new Dragon God. She is now ranked alongside the Holy Empress Ning Rongrong and the Twelve-Winged Holy Angel Qian Renxue as one of the three strongest supreme god-kings below the Holy Emperor of the God Realm.

After tireless efforts, Tianlin finally fulfilled his promise to Gu Yuena. He first found another habitable planet from the original story and transferred all the soul beasts on Douluo Star there. Di Tian was responsible for protecting and managing them, allowing them to live separately from humans so they wouldn't be hunted.

As for the issue of soul rings for human soul masters, Tianlin combined the method of gods creating divinely bestowed soul rings with the method of the Ascension Platform built in later generations in the original work. Using the power of the Holy Emperor's creation, he created a large virtual plane. Within the plane, there are countless virtual soul beasts. These virtual soul beasts have vitality and soul power, but no soul or thought. As long as soul masters kill them, they can obtain soul rings. The probability of soul bones being born is the same as that of ordinary soul beasts.

The lifespan of virtual soul beasts is divided according to region. The danger levels of the five regions, namely white, yellow, purple, black, and red, are also completely different. Soul masters can use the countless teleportation points scattered across the continent to teleport to the virtual plane.

However, for a virtual plane to continue operating, it needs to continuously generate its own life force and divine power. Virtual soul beasts do not understand cultivation, so the divine power of the plane must be kept sufficient at all times. One unit of divine power can be converted into a thousand units of soul power for the virtual soul beasts to absorb, which is how they can generate soul rings and soul bones. This is quite simple, since there are so many gods in the God Realm who can inject their power at any time. The amount consumed can be recovered by meditating and cultivating for a few days.

But vitality is different. Even gods have limited vitality. The reason they are immortal is simply because their vitality is supplied by the central hub of the divine realm, and their own vitality no longer diminishes.

Ultimately, the God of Life made a contribution by planting the repaired super artifact, the Ancient Tree of Life, in the virtual plane created by Tianlin. With the Ancient Tree of Life, this virtual plane could generate its own life force.

After a virtual soul beast is killed, a new virtual soul beast will be born in the plane to ensure a continuous supply of soul beasts. As long as the Tree of Life stands, the virtual soul beasts in this plane will never be wiped out.

This inspiration came from Tianlin playing online games; isn't cultivating a Soul Master just like leveling up by fighting monsters?
