Crossover anime, and you call this a slice-of-life story?

His divine sense spread out like an invisible giant net in an instant, and soon locked onto the five people from Hachiman Valley who were a hundred miles away, outside a human border city.

The next moment, space distorted slightly, and the five people were instantly teleported in front of him.

"Your honor!"

"senior!"

"Senior Shangguan!"

The sudden change in space made Suo An and the others tense up instantly, but they relaxed after seeing Shangguan Yun clearly in front of them.

Soan was the first to react and immediately knelt down to pay his respects.

He was preparing to send the three of them back at the agreed time, but he didn't expect this person to come in person.

'The master actually values ​​these few human lads so much?!'

Soan was both shocked and extremely relieved.

Fortunately, I have always been very humble in front of these little guys, and I dare not put on airs of a god even when the Venerable One is not around.

Thinking of the tremendous upheavals that have occurred on the mainland in the months since the adults left, Suo An's awe of Shangguan Yun has only grown stronger.

John also knelt and bowed, showing the utmost respect to this supreme being who had destroyed the divine realm.

I still remember how shocked the king of their Lionheart Empire was when he heard about this person's deeds.

Therefore, the three "companions" of this adult were also treated with the highest level of courtesy, almost as if they were ancestors.

Hearing that they were going to undergo training, he was so excited that he almost fainted.

With even a deity like Soan respectfully following them, the Lionheart Empire's leadership became even more excited.

Being able to help these people gain experience is a blessing they've earned in their past lives!

The entire continent is now trembling under the oppressive power of that supreme expert. Even establishing the slightest connection with him would be enough to bring glory to one's ancestors!

After the two men stood up, Shangguan Yun glanced at the three of them, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

Not bad.

After nearly three months of training in another world, the three of them have undergone a complete transformation.

Hachiman Hikigaya, who was originally a bit thin, is now much more upright, with smooth muscle lines that exude explosive power, and his skin has turned a healthy wheat color.

While his signature dead fish eyes remained, they now possessed a sharpness and composure born from battle.

The energy fluctuations emanating from its body clearly indicated that it had firmly entered the third tier and reached the level of six stars!

This rate of improvement is astonishing.

No wonder he values ​​his most junior colleague!

Kaito Kuroba's demeanor is more agile and elusive, less cynical, but with a hint of hunter's coldness in the depths of his eyes.

His strength has also increased to the third tier, second star. Clearly, he did not cheat in this trial and has made considerable progress.

Kirishima Ayato's changes were also quite obvious. The cold and ferocious aura of a ghoul around him seemed to have subsided somewhat, but once you met his increasingly scarlet ghoul eyes, you could feel the more condensed and violent power contained within them.

His strength has reached the third tier, second star, and his feathers have even undergone some changes. In the world of ghouls, he could probably become the final boss.

All three were dressed in the adventurer's attire of this world. Although some of it was worn and they looked travel-worn, they all appeared to be in good spirits.

"It seems your trip was worthwhile." Shangguan Yun nodded in satisfaction.

"Thanks to the opportunity given by our seniors, and thanks to the great care we received from John and Lord Soan," Hachiman replied earnestly, his tone sincere.

John, who was standing nearby, was overjoyed to hear Hachiman's words, but he waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "I dare not accept such praise! My three young friends are exceptionally talented and have unwavering wills. It is my honor to accompany them on their training!"

His gaze as he looked at the three of them was filled with undisguised admiration and even a hint of awe.

During these three months, he was also impressed by the talent and strength of the others.

Soan bowed again, his tone light and obsequious, as if he had just completed his mission: "Your Excellency! I have fulfilled my mission! My three young friends have returned safely and their strength has greatly improved! Although there were some setbacks along the way, they were all handled properly, and no one was able to harm them in the slightest!"

Shangguan Yun nodded slightly, acknowledging their contributions. "Thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and two beams of light appeared in front of Soan and John.

"This is the payment for both of you."

Shangguan Yun's words were calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

Two beams of light hovered in front of Soan and John, emanating distinctly different yet equally unsettling auras.

Upon hearing this, Soan and John were first taken aback, then their faces showed fear, and they quickly bowed again, almost burying their heads in the ground.

"Your Excellency's kindness is too great! This humble god (or person) dares not accept such a reward!"

The two spoke in unison, their voices conveying a sincere refusal.

For them, being able to successfully complete the task assigned by Shangguan Yun, save their lives, and even establish a connection with this supreme being was already an immense stroke of luck and a great "reward."

How could they possibly dare to hope for any substantial reward?

Especially for Suo An, the fear of Shangguan Yun's ruthless slaughter of gods lingered deep in his heart, and he was lucky to be alive.

John felt that being able to accompany these three "chosen ones" through their trials and tribulations, to see a wider world, and even to rise in status within the empire and have a bright future because of his "recommendation" and "protection" was already an unimaginable reward.

Looking at their fearful expressions, Shangguan Yun smiled faintly: "What I give away, I have no reason to take back. You have done your best to protect them and help them grow. This is what you deserve. Accept it."

His tone remained calm, yet it carried an unyielding will, as if imprinted on their hearts like the rules of heaven and earth.

Soan and John shuddered, knowing that further refusing might displease the lord.

The two were both excited and apprehensive. They cautiously raised their heads to look at the "reward" floating in front of them.

Chapter 327 Elder Mogus of the Dragon Clan Who Enjoys Lemons

When Soan and John came into contact with the two orbs of light, their pupils instantly contracted to the size of pinpoints, their breaths stopped abruptly, and their faces were filled with unparalleled shock and disbelief!

What John received was a divine spark, roughly the size of a fist, pure white gold in color, with countless tiny chains of order flowing within it, radiating immense divine power and pure law fluctuations!

John's hands trembled slightly as he carefully held the divine spark. For someone like him who had been stuck at the peak of the Saint Realm for countless years and couldn't even break through to the Legendary Realm, what did this divine spark mean?

It means instant success!

This means that he doesn't need to go through the perilous and hopeless path to godhood. As long as he successfully refines this divine spark, he can directly cross that insurmountable barrier and become a true god!

How could he not be excited, since even the legends couldn't break through?

You should know that only two god-level powerhouses have emerged from the entire human race, and he only accompanied three young people on a risk-free training trip, and he was able to obtain the opportunity to become a god.

If this gets out, countless people will be insanely jealous!

Let alone being a bodyguard for young people, if one could obtain a divine status, countless people would fight tooth and nail to be their dog.

This is an opportunity that countless powerful individuals dream of but dare not even imagine!

"Thank you, sir! I am willing to go through fire and water for you!"

John's cloudy eyes shone with an unprecedented light and gratitude.

Meanwhile, Soan on the other side wasn't much calmer either.

In his palm was a ball of divine essence that was constantly changing shape and radiating a divine essence that made even Soan's own divine nature tremble with desire!

This essence of divinity was naturally a treasure in the divine treasury, and Shangguan Yun only gave Suo An a very small part of it.

This divine essence is a cultivation resource specifically for those cultivating the divine system; he certainly wouldn't need it himself.

The reason why only a small portion was given to Soan was because the other party was clearly not yet worthy of receiving more rewards from him.

Moreover, this kind of thing might have some effect on Gabriel and the other angels.

They can also be kept and used to make some exchanges with the celestial realm.

However, even this small part is enough for a mid-level god like Soan to advance further!

As long as he can absorb and refine it, it will not only greatly solidify his divine foundation but also make up for the lack of foundation caused by his ordinary divine office and limited sources of faith.

It can greatly enhance his divine quality and potential, increasing the possibility of breaking through to become a high god!

This is simply an unparalleled treasure that could change the entire trajectory of his divine life!

"Your Excellency...this...this is too precious! This humble god...this humble god is unworthy of such a gift..."

Soan's voice trembled as he looked at the ball of divine essence, his eyes overflowing with longing, but more than that, he felt a sense of fear and unreality, as if he had been overwhelmed by immense happiness.

All his previous worries and fears were swept away by this enormous surprise.

"Take it," Shangguan Yun said succinctly, interrupting their excitement and fear.

"Splash!" "Splash!"

Unable to contain their excitement and gratitude any longer, the two knelt heavily on the ground, prostrating themselves before Shangguan Yun, their voices choked with emotion yet incredibly loud:

"Thank you for your generous gift! This kindness is like being given a second life! I will never forget it and will follow you for all eternity, serving you faithfully like a dog or a horse!"

This time, their gratitude came from the bottom of their hearts, without a trace of falsehood or fear.

What Shangguan Yun bestowed upon them was not just power, but also the future, and infinite possibilities that transcended their original life trajectories!

Shangguan Yun accepted their greeting without hesitation, then raised his hand to help them up, saying, "Get up. Refine it well; you may be of use to me in the future."

These casual, polite words fueled the passion in Soan and John's hearts, making them feel that the future was bright.

At this moment, Soan mustered his courage and looked at John, both of them revealing the same longing in their eyes.

Soan stepped forward, bowed again, and said with utmost sincerity, “Your Excellency! The Divine Realm has collapsed, and the continent is in chaos. I have no support to rely on if I remain in this world. I humbly request Your Excellency’s permission to follow you to your world and serve you at your beck and call!”

John quickly chimed in, "Yes, sir! I am willing to give up everything in this world to follow you, even if it means serving you as a servant!"

Having witnessed Shangguan Yun's invincible demeanor and felt his power that transcends the world, how could they still be willing to stay in this "small pond" that is about to fall into chaos?

Being able to follow such beings, even as a gatekeeper, is far more promising than ruling as a king in this world!

Shangguan Yun glanced at them, thought for a moment, and said, "The rules of my world are different from those of this world. You are not able to adapt to it for the time being. Going there would be more harmful than beneficial. You can go to the Emperor of the End first. After you have refined what I gave you and made a breakthrough, you can come to me if you are still willing."

He wouldn't refuse a sixth-tier or potential sixth-tier powerhouse who was willing to follow him. Although he didn't need him, his brother was in dire need of manpower.

But we'll have to wait until they both break through to their limits, otherwise, their world might not be able to support their breakthroughs due to its unique characteristics.

"Alright, let's go."

Without saying anything more, Shangguan Yun spoke to the three Hikigayas who were watching him show off with complicated expressions. Spatial power spread out again, enveloping them. The next moment, the four figures began to fade slowly, preparing to return through the spatial passage.

Seeing this, Soan and John, though extremely reluctant and eager to follow, dared not utter any more words to persuade him to stay. They simply bowed deeply once more, watching the figure that would decide their fate.

However, just as Shangguan Yun's figure was about to completely disappear...

He seemed to sense something, his gaze drifting almost imperceptibly to a seemingly ordinary fold in space hundreds of meters away.

There, hidden, lies an extremely subtle yet majestic aura unique to the dragon race.

Hidden within was an ancient black dragon, a sixth-tier power, who had been sent by the Emperor of the End to secretly guard and maintain this important spatial passage.

The black dragon elder named "Morges" was currently concealing all his aura, his massive dragon body hidden in the dimensional rift, while his huge dragon eyes stared intently at this side without blinking.

It had clearly seen the scene where Shangguan Yun casually bestowed opportunities upon Soan and John. The rich divine energy and the aura of divine essence made this old dragon, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, secretly swallow hard, its saliva almost dripping out.

That is an unparalleled treasure that can instantly transform a mortal in the Saint Realm into a god, and allow a mid-level god to advance even further!

Although he couldn't use the gods' gadgets, that didn't stop him from envying them.

Mogus felt even greater awe for this supreme powerhouse who had destroyed the divine realm.

He initially didn't believe the news that the Divine Realm had been destroyed by a human after hearing it from the Emperor of the End. However, after arriving in the Divine Realm with the Emperor of the End and the dragon army, and feeling the lingering terrifying aura, he came to believe it.

He also took the initiative to accept the mission sent by the Emperor of the End to guard the space passage.

He wondered if he might have the chance to see this supreme expert who could easily kill even a god-king.

I never expected to actually see him today.

Even though the other party didn't reveal the slightest aura, it still sent a shiver down his spine. This was the most primal fear arising from the enormous difference in their levels of life.

Seeing how precious the treasures the other party had casually bestowed upon him were, Moggs could only hide in the shadows and watch longingly, his heart filled with envy.

Chapter 328 The Two People's Imaginations

Just as Moggs was inwardly gloating, it suddenly sensed that the gaze of that being seemed to... pierce through layers of space and land on its hiding place!
