For a plane, three years is very short, short enough that it cannot even stir the slightest ripple in the long river of time since the plane's birth. But three years can also be very long. All kinds of people walk upon the earth; in three years, one can travel to many places, or remain trapped in the same spot. In the years listed out by rules and regulations, it is truly difficult to see what true freedom looks like.
After the divine war three years ago, the continent fell back into peace.
After the divine war, the Angel God Qian Renxue and the Rakshasa God Bibi Dong were almost out of sight of the world.
Qian Renxue settled peacefully in Element City. Perhaps she genuinely liked the atmosphere here, or perhaps this place gave her a sense of home and belonging. The smiles on her face gradually grew, especially when she faced Qin Yi; it was almost impossible to tell that she was still the once-supremely arrogant Angel God.
Qian Daoliu's soul had also awakened. Under the nourishment of Qian Renxue's divine power, the old man's soul was evolving toward becoming a divine soul. Qian Renxue planned to wait until Qian Daoliu's soul successfully evolved into a divine soul before condensing a new body for him. This was also to pave the way for Qian Daoliu's future path to godhood.
Although a soul body was not as convenient as a real physical body, Qian Daoliu didn't mind. Years of cultivation and self-discipline had already caused him to fade away most of his worldly desires. Even though he was now only a soul body and would occasionally fall into slumber, he took it in stride. Every day he simply passed the time leisurely inside the Angel Temple.
Snow Empress's belly had grown very large, and the fetus inside had already fully developed. It was only two years ago that Zhuang Yuan astonishingly discovered that there were actually two life auras inside Snow Empress's belly. Previously, the life auras had been too weak, so everyone mistakenly thought there was only one. As time passed and with the continuous supply of energy, the two life auras slowly separated.
Everyone was extremely delighted by this, and even Snow Empress herself was so excited that she could hardly express it in words.
On the soft large bed, Ye Lingling stood by the bedside. Soft life energy surged in her hands as the petals of the Nine-Hearted Begonia bloomed with a faint, refreshing fragrance nearby. After a long while, she finally let out a light breath, then carefully squatted down and pressed her cheek against Snow Empress's belly.
"Ouch..."
But the next moment, Ye Lingling let out a cry of surprise.
It turned out that one of the children in Snow Empress's belly had kicked her. This situation had happened many times already. Whenever anyone other than Shen Han Yu approached, this was the only treatment they received.
"Snow Sister, look at this little guy. She kicked me again. For the past three years, I've been helping them absorb that vast life energy. At the very least, I'm like their little mom, but look at them, they're still so ungrateful..."
Ye Lingling hugged one of Snow Empress's arms and complained somewhat aggrievedly.
These two children were gifted with extraordinary talent. Even while in the womb, they were extremely sensitive to auras. This was completely instinctive behavior. Once Shen Han Yu approached, the two little ones could even barely interact with the outside world. But on the other hand, whenever anyone else approached, they would readily kick them...
It could only be said that these two little ones had truly inherited Shen Han Yu's personality. Their double standards were not hidden at all...
Snow Empress smiled and pinched Ye Lingling's cheek, then said:
"Why are you getting angry with children? When they are born later, you can bully them back. Now that you have time, you should focus on cultivating. Ah Yu has already become a god, and Bing'er, Meng Chu, and Xiao Nian have also reached the final step. On the other hand, you, with such abundant heaven and earth energy supply, remain a Title Douluo..."
Ye Lingling stuck out her tongue, then said somewhat aggrievedly:
"Healing-type soul masters have always had a harder time cultivating than other soul masters. Moreover, after my Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul reaches the Title Douluo level, every breakthrough requires a massive amount of energy reserves. I want to get faster too..."
Snow Empress pinched Ye Lingling's cheek again, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked:
"About that matter from some time ago..."
Ye Lingling was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously covered her face. After a long pause, she leaned close to Snow Empress's ear and said:
"It's true. I heard that when Dugu Yan learned about this news, she almost couldn't catch her breath..."
A trace of gossiping interest appeared in Snow Empress's eyes, as if she was looking forward to Ye Lingling's next words.
Ye Lingling closed the door properly, then whispered:
"After Senior Dugu broke through to level ninety-six, his martial soul evolved once again, and his appearance returned to when he was young. Yan Zi had gone out to gain experience on the continent during that period. When she recently returned, she discovered that she suddenly had a little uncle who was more than twenty years younger than her..."
Snow Empress couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this. After a long while, she said:
"Dugu Bo is truly vigorous in his old age. However, I'm very curious, who did he find..."
Ye Lingling immediately understood what Snow Empress was curious about. She lowered her voice even further and said:
"That woman also comes from a medical family. It's said that she is only a few years older than Yan Zi. She took one look at Senior Dugu while he was out for a walk in Element City and immediately began to pursue him actively. Senior Dugu has lived most of his life and had never encountered such an offense. In less than two months, he fell. Now, Yan Zi even has to call her 'Grandma'..."
The corners of Snow Empress's mouth curled up. For the first time, she felt that gossip was more interesting than those books.
"Hehe..."
"With Dugu Yan's personality, wouldn't she turn the entire Element City upside down right now?"
Snow Empress continued.
Ye Lingling shook her head and said:
"Although Yan Zi isn't very willing to accept reality, she is indeed helpless. Just like Ah Yu said before, Yan Zi has no intention of finding a partner, but the Jade Phosphor Snake martial soul does need to be passed down. Looking at it this way, this might actually be a good thing..."
Snow Empress shook her head gently with a smile. Then her expression changed slightly, and her jade hands unconsciously stroked her pregnant belly.
"These two little guys are starting to torment me again..."
Snow Empress said somewhat helplessly, while rubbing her brow with one hand.
Ye Lingling showed a smile and gently comforted her:
"It's fine. Snow Sister, in another half a year or so, these two children will be born. Then everything will be over..."
Snow Empress nodded, then yawned lightly. She waved her hand and said:
"Lingling, go and cultivate. You don't need to keep accompanying me here. I'm sleepy. I'll sleep a little more..."
Ye Lingling nodded gently, got up, opened the door, and walked out. Before leaving, she didn't forget to gently close the door.
Snow Empress lazily glanced at the bright sky outside, then lazily closed her eyes...
...
The view shifted to the small courtyard.
Ye Lingling slowly walked down the stairs and immediately saw three people sitting cross-legged in the courtyard outside.
The auras around the three were profound and restrained. After three years, You Meng Chu's face carried more mature charm. She looked even more graceful and dignified. Her strength, which had originally just entered the Limit Douluo level, had now reached the quasi-god level. She was only a hair's breadth away from the final step and could be said to be on the verge of a breakthrough at any moment.
Beside her, Shui Bing'er was the same. Her ice-blue long hair seemed to have grown a little longer, and the hazy beauty on her face had reached a level that would make one sink into it at first glance, never willing to forget it again. After three years, she had also reached the final step of becoming a god. In fact, she could have become a god a year ago but deliberately slowed down her pace to wait for You Meng Chu and Bai Nian.
As for Bai Nian, she had become even more mature than three years ago. Her originally pretty face now carried a noble and cold elegance. Everyone even felt that if she continued like this, she would become the next Bibi Dong. Every move she made was graceful, and the power contained in just a single glance was enough to make people submit...
On the lounge chair that Shen Han Yu often used to lie on, Shen Liu Yu was swinging her fair little feet while tasting the drink Ye Lingling had recently prepared. There was not a trace of divine aura about her; instead, she looked like a sneaky little girl stealing sweets.
Seemingly noticing Ye Lingling's gaze, Shen Liu Yu raised her head, licked the traces at the corner of her lips, then smiled sheepishly and said:
"Lingling, this one isn't as good as the last. If it's really not working, you can put in a little less lemon. It's too sour..."
Ye Lingling glanced at her, then sat down on the swing nearby by herself and said:
"That's the leftover that Snow Sister drank. She likes sour-sweet drinks right now. Otherwise, do you think I wouldn't know how to adjust the balance myself..."
Shen Liu Yu let out an "oh," but her gaze turned toward the distant sky. There, a golden light figure was rapidly approaching. When it arrived nearby, it transformed into Qian Renxue's figure.
Seemingly noticing Shen Liu Yu's gaze, Qian Renxue curled her lips into a smile and said:
"Ah Yu, what? Do you want to fight again?"
Shen Liu Yu recalled that Angel Holy Sword burning with Solar True Fire and immediately shook her head decisively, saying:
"Forget it, forget it. I was just thinking, Qian Sister, can you really not reconcile with Bibi Dong? It's already been three years. You two have fought big and small battles more than a dozen times and still haven't determined a winner. I feel that if this continues, the blood you two have shed could probably fill an entire reservoir..."
Qian Renxue reached out and tapped Shen Liu Yu's smooth forehead. But thinking about it carefully, what Shen Liu Yu said was not wrong at all. Gods were almost immortal and indestructible. In these three years, she and Bibi Dong had been injured countless times. The blood they had shed could probably really fill a large vat...
But upon second thought, Qian Renxue suddenly felt that something was off.
Why was she following Shen Liu Yu's strange emphasis to think about the problem? If this continued, problems would arise sooner or later (?).
Qian Renxue sighed softly. The grudge between her and Bibi Dong ran too deep. What she originally thought could be resolved with one battle after becoming gods had now dragged on for so long that she had even lost most of her interest in the matter. Whenever she thought about it, she felt a headache. Sometimes she even had thoughts of escaping, but the thorn in her heart would not allow her to do so. This matter definitely needed a conclusion; otherwise, she might live the rest of her life in unease...
A breeze blew by, and suddenly a burst of noise came from not far away. Qian Renxue and the others turned their heads and saw that the arrivals were Ice Emperor and the others.
Tian Meng had now successfully taken human form. At any rate, he was the first god-level Ice Silkworm in the world. If he still had such difficulty with taking human form, Tian Meng might as well dig a hole and bury himself.
However, his appearance after taking human form was truly quite amusing.
Ice Emperor was a 1.5-meter-tall flat-chested little loli, while Tian Meng after taking human form was a handsome young man no taller than 1.6 meters. They looked quite well-matched. Of course, Tian Meng still didn't dare to act recklessly in front of Ice Emperor. Even at night, he could only be the one on the bottom. He was a complete wife slave...
Shuang Ying was as lazy and intellectual as always. Hai Xi had grown quite a bit taller, and her long hair had turned multicolored. The two still got along very well and were almost inseparable.
After the Deep Sea Demon Whale King revived, he took Lan Fozi back to the sea, saying there was an extremely important inheritance to pass on to Lan Fozi. There had been no news for the past two years; it would probably take some more time.
There was a period when Tian Meng also wanted to return to the Extreme North to reign as king. After all, most of the soul beasts that had bullied him before were still alive, and this grudge definitely needed to be avenged. But in the end, he couldn't bear to leave everyone and the atmosphere here, so he simply gave up on the idea and peacefully chose a painful yet happy life of lying flat.
Electrolux's figure also appeared out of thin air beside them. He skillfully jumped onto a nearby lounge chair, smiling as he looked at everyone. After several years of getting along, he had become completely familiar with the group.
Shen Liu Yu saw Electrolux appear out of thin air and suddenly sat up, asking in a small voice:
"Old Yi, do you have any undead magic for creating puppets? If you do, teach me. I have great use for it..."
Electrolux turned to look at Shen Liu Yu, stroked his beard thoughtfully, and said:
"There is, but it's a bit too sinister..."
Shen Liu Yu became interested and said impatiently:
"It's fine, sinister is fine. I've already become a god anyway. Who cares if it's sinister or not? If there's a problem, I'll just punch it to pieces. Don't worry, Old Yi. I won't cause you any trouble. Trust me, really..."
Looking at Shen Liu Yu's serious expression, Electrolux was moved. He pondered for a moment, then said:
"Bring your forehead closer. I'll transmit this magic directly to you."
Shen Liu Yu nodded obediently. Then she felt Electrolux's slightly cold finger land on her forehead. Countless cold and complex knowledge appeared out of thin air in her sea of consciousness. Shen Liu Yu frowned slightly, then quickly smiled happily and said:
"Thank you, Old Yi. Hehe..."
Electrolux smiled while stroking his chin, then shook his head and asked:
"Little Yu, I'm just curious, what do you need this kind of undead magic for? With your status, if you need anything, can't you just tell your brother?"
Shen Liu Yu stuck out her tongue, then smiled somewhat bashfully and said:
"It's nothing much. A while ago, I was bored and went out for a stroll. I accidentally stumbled into the fallen land of a Bright Holy Dragon. There, I obtained the remains of that Bright Holy Dragon and a dragon core."
"After I cleared all the hidden hostility from the dragon core, I plan to give it as a gift to my little nephew or niece. As for the dragon corpse, hehe, I plan to refine it into something similar to an undead creature. Later, I'll give it to my little nephew and niece as a mount. It will guarantee that they start off leading their peers by a hundred years. Hehe, Old Yi, don't you think my idea is perfect..."
"Tsk tsk, a giant dragon mount, this is something I wouldn't even dare to think about right now..."
Looking at Shen Liu Yu's silly and cute appearance, Electrolux chuckled softly, then waved his hand and said with some emotion:
"You can do as you wish. However, undead magic cannot be used recklessly. If any trouble arises later, don't come begging me to clean up the mess again. Also, the bones of the Bright Holy Dragon contain extremely dense light aura. You had better clean those light auras first to prevent conflict with the undead magic itself..."
Shen Liu Yu nodded repeatedly, already looking forward to the surprised and happy expressions on her little nephew and niece's faces when they saw the gifts their aunt had prepared. Thinking of that scene, the silly smile on Shen Liu Yu's face seemed even sweeter...
Electrolux smiled as he watched this scene, feeling that his life, which had been full of changes, after despair and wandering, could still allow him to feel such beauty in his later years. Perhaps everything he had pursued in his past life had lost meaning at this moment. He was truly old and should start properly enjoying life and happiness...
