"Hmm..."
"Yue'er, what are your thoughts?"
Not long after, Leng Yaozhu looked at Gu Yue beside her and couldn't help but ask. As the saying goes, when there's a problem, one shouldn't keep it to themselves but should speak up.
The collusion between the Spirit Transfer Pagoda and the Holy Spirit Church was first revealed by Qiangu Dongfeng to the other party, and then told to her by the person before her. Perhaps Yue'er had given it more thought than she had.
"Me?"
Hearing this, Gu Yue shook her head, completely indifferent to the matter. On the contrary...
The more chaotic the human continent became, the better it was, wasn't it?
As for the bombing of Shrek Academy, she felt that human academies still had their place, but Shrek was built on the faith of that God of the Sea, Tang San...
It deserved to be disbanded.
As for Qiangu Dongfeng's ambitions, there was no need to pay them much mind. With the Seven Old Demons around, they were nothing to worry about.
His ambition and greed couldn't even compare to a fraction of the divine thoughts born in the heart of Greed Old Demon...
The only thing that truly surprised her was that Qiangu Dongfeng had schemes laid out across various continents, such as the Star Luo Continent and that Heaven Dou Continent.
"This era..."
"It truly is a time of turmoil."
A flicker of contemplation crossed Gu Yue's mind as she recalled the Abyss Invasion mentioned by Luo Chuan and Tree Elder, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
Perhaps...
This was the perfect opportunity for the revival of the Beast Race!
"..."
"Huh?"
"Na'er, what did you say?"
However, that very afternoon.
When Gu Yue and Leng Yaozhu returned to the residence of the sisters in the royal palace and saw the innocent, earnest Na'er before them, their faces were filled with confusion.
Beside them, Leng Yaozhu watched the two sisters with keen interest, observing silently.
"Hmm?"
"It's just that Yun'er is already engaged to Brother Luo Chuan."
"When they went to the imperial palace earlier, His Majesty the Emperor arranged the engagement with great enthusiasm."
Na'er said with a serious expression, repeating the news.
Around them, the other girls showed little surprise, for a simple reason...
Yun'er was hardly someone who could keep a secret. Though she had insisted on confidentiality, in less than half a day, she couldn't wait to share the news with everyone.
This Yun'er, she's just too weak!
However, upon hearing such news, everyone's envy for Yun'er was undoubtedly high. The prospect of being engaged to Luo Chuan...
They too longed for it!
"This..."
Gu Yue looked at the calm Na'er before her, but her own heart was anything but calm. For a moment, she was at a loss for words.
She had only been away for a day.
In such a short time, Luo Chuan had become engaged to Yun'er? Had the first milestone been snatched away by someone else?
Though she was the first to claim Luo Chuan, that didn't mean she wanted to be surpassed by her sisters in other aspects!
"Where is Luo Chuan!"
The next moment, she blurted out.
"Hmm..."
"I think he went with Yun'er to find Duoduo."
Na'er blinked, speaking earnestly.
Earlier, they had taken a simple stroll around Star Luo City when Yun'er ended up revealing what was supposed to be kept confidential. Soon after, they realized Duoduo wasn't around, and so...
They immediately dragged each other off to Si Duo's house!
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue could only nod helplessly. It seemed she would have to wait until later to have a proper talk with Luo Chuan!
"Luo Chuan really is quite the popular one."
Watching the scene unfold, Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but chuckle softly. Her demeanor, distinct from the other young girls, radiated a unique charm.
"That's true."
Gu Yue nodded in agreement with her teacher, unable to hold back her comment. Even though the other had said as much...
She didn't entertain any other speculations about the person before her. After all, this was her teacher, and she was significantly older than Luo Chuan—it shouldn't be, and likely couldn't be, the case.
"Now even our Yue'er can't keep him in check."
Leng Yaozhu's smile didn't fade in the slightest as she spoke.
It was no exaggeration to say that across the entire Douluo Continent, it would be hard to find another youth like Luo Chuan. A man like him—no one could refuse him.
Especially not her, who had broken through to Quasi-God and even leaped directly to Demigod with his help...
"If I were just a bit younger..."
"Perhaps I'd compete with these little sisters too."
Leng Yaozhu's gaze swept over the girls before her, and she couldn't help but muse to herself. Then she paused, puzzled—why had she thought "little sisters" instead of "girls"?
"..."
Night fell.
That evening, Tang Luochuan was in his bedroom, sitting cross-legged on the bed. His eyes, however, were sharp and focused, clearly deep in thought.
"Currently, I possess the God-King Power of both Destruction and Life, aside from the Dragon God, as well as the First Class God Power of the Angel and the God of the Sea. The War God's power can barely count as a godhood too..."
"Aside from the Dragon God as my primary Godhood, I'll see if I can fuse my second Godhood later."
A glint flashed in Tang Luochuan's eyes.
In his path to godhood, one aspect was absolutely unchangeable: the Dragon God would be his first Godhood, his primary Godhood.
The Dragon God was undoubtedly the true, unparalleled pinnacle of this world—no other god could match its strength. Even half of the Golden Dragon King required at least three God Kings to join forces.
Beyond the primary Godhood, there was the second Godhood.
Yes, he had decided to have at most two inheritances, and his second Godhood would be forged by integrating the numerous Godhood Inheritances he had gathered into...
a new Godhood.
Of course, if he could merge the other God Powers with the Dragon God after achieving godhood, that would be the superior choice.
After all, the example of the Tang Great God King had shown him that absorbing two inheritances might somewhat defy the rules of Douluo—otherwise, his wife wouldn't have been euphemistically called the "scabbard."
"I possess the complete Dragon God Bloodline, and once I achieve seven rings and truly unlock the inheritance..."
"The true trial to become the Dragon God, for me, is merely reaching level 100 to attain godhood..."
A faint smile touched Tang Luochuan's lips, his eyes gleaming with anticipation as he recalled the past.
Back then, because he couldn't fully utilize much of his bloodline's abilities, the Dragon God's Inheritance was set to unlock at level 70.
After breaking through the seventh ring and unlocking the Dragon God True Form, he had completely activated the so-called Dragon God's Inheritance, whose goal was singular...
To become a god, reaching level one hundred to attain godhood.
With the Dragon God Bloodline, he needed no trials to prove his qualifications—he already met them inherently.
Upon achieving level one hundred and becoming a god, what he could command was not limited to the Dragon Slayer Blade alone, but extended far beyond...
The Dragon God Set, far surpassing top-tier Super Artifact armor; the core Dragon God Domain; and the true divine overlord, the foremost among god-level beings—
The genuine Dragon God Divine Seat.
"This sky."
"Won't last much longer either."
Tang Luochuan shook his head, suppressing the thoughts in his heart, and murmured softly.
He just wondered if there might be any special Godhoods left for him to discover, or more conditions for fusing a second Godhood...
In the next moment, before him, a space rift appeared, and a girl with an indifferent expression materialized vividly before his eyes.
"Hmm?"
"Luo Chuan, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing the boy who looked quite serious, the girl cast a puzzled expression his way.
"Hmm?"
"..."
