The Curtain Falls

Inside Bo Saixi's room.

Su Mutian spread open his palm.

At once, a pale yellow glow of Soul Power emanated from his hand.

Having learned from his experience at the Sea Exchange, Su Mutian had gotten smarter this time.

The system's voice had barely ended.

Su Mutian immediately mobilized the Soul Power throughout his body to suppress the phenomenon caused by this sudden breakthrough.

Fortunately, with his demigod-level Soul Power as a trump card, it only took a short while for the divine sword to finish manifesting completely.

Along with the attached spirit ring...

"Second Spirit Ring."

"Second Spirit Ability Sword Quicksand."

Fuck!

A hundred-year yellow spirit ring!

Again?

What the hell was this?

Su Mutian was dumbfounded once more.

From the floor-to-ceiling window in Bo Saixi's room, Su Mutian looked toward the Sea God Hall:

Was the system screwing with me, or was the Sea God screwing with me?

Am I still that peerless genius, the one-in-three-years demigod prodigy of Douluo?

Fuck... where's my sword?

Su Mutian could already predict it.

His first spirit ring had been a ten-year white ring, his second was a hundred-year yellow ring, and his third would probably be a thousand-year purple ring?

Then his fourth spirit ring would be a Ten Thousand Year black ring, and his fifth would be a Hundred-Thousand-Year red ring.

His sixth spirit ring... emmm, would his sixth spirit ring be a golden god ring?!

Then what about the seventh, eighth, and ninth?

Did the Douluo world even have spirit rings stronger than god rings?

Hah, quit bullshitting, you shitty system!

There absolutely could not be spirit rings more advanced than god rings in Douluo!

I said so!

Because in a sense, god rings were spirit rings obtained by hunting Million-Year Spirit Beasts.

It was just that god rings came in different colors.

For example, the Asura God's god ring was dark crimson-gold.

And what was the concept of a Million-Year Spirit Beast?

Well, there was one living in the neighboring sea region.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

It was seeking to break through the million-year threshold and ascend to godhood in one stroke.

But then again.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's innate talent was not actually high enough to break through to godhood.

Previously, it had also taken something from Sea God Island—the Sacred Pillar Stone.

Back then, in order to break through the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast limit, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale had stolen Sea God Island's Sacred Pillar Stone.

Yet that thing had failed to realize one thing.

Did it really think it could hide from a god's eyes?

The Sea God was obviously raising a spirit ring for his own successor.

A walking million-year spirit ring.

Su Mutian: "(⇀‸↼‶)"

There was no need to say who that successor was.

Sigh... Sea God, Sea God, you're such a scheming boy.

You've got that black-bellied CEO vibe.

Exactly like me~

Hehe ฅ۶•ﻌ•♡

"Mm~ ah!"

Bo Saixi woke from her hazy slumber and instinctively raised a hand to shield herself from the sunset's rosy glow.

Her mind was still a little muddled.

Her body felt abnormally weak, as though it had been completely drained.

The hollow sensation from having her divine power link stripped away by the Sea God's Light could not be fundamentally healed by either healing-type or Food System abilities.

What was more, she had used it for far too long this time. Bo Saixi was utterly exhausted, and without ten days to half a month, she likely would not recover to her normal state.

Still, she broke free from her illusory dream and sensed the Soul Power fluctuations of reality.

Red light!

Someone had entered her room!

For decades, no one had ever dared to enter her private living quarters!

Biu~

Bo Saixi secretly gathered a cold glint of Soul Power at her fingertips and cautiously opened one eye.

She saw a handsome man gazing out at the crimson clouds beyond the window with a sigh, and the nerves poised to attack instantly relaxed.

It was the Young God!

"Young God~"

Bo Saixi weakly sat up in bed and softly called out to Su Mutian.

"The consequences of using the Sea God's Light once were actually this severe?"

Su Mutian could hear the lack of strength in Bo Saixi's voice; she was clearly depleted internally.

He could not help frowning in displeasure.

As the saying went, saving one life was worth more than building a seven-story pagoda.

But at heart, Su Mutian was a selfish person.

If saving or helping someone else meant severely harming his own interests...

He would absolutely never do something that stupid.

Was the Young God worried about her?

Bo Saixi smiled. "I'm fine, but Young God, why have you come...?"

Bo Saixi quietly pulled the blanket further over her body and lowered her head shyly.

How embarrassing!!!

She had taken off her Sea God Priest Robe and was wearing only her close-fitting undergarments!

The Young God had seen everything...

"Get some proper rest."

Quite the opposite.

I, Su Mutian, am an upright and honorable gentleman, not some lecherous pervert. How could I commit such a vulgar act of peeping?

I was openly taking a peek!

T-The pale blue... white, white...

Pfft~

Su Mutian felt a warm current rush through his nose.

Fortunately, this brother was dignified, composed, and experienced. With a flick of his hand, he used Soul Power to force the blood back down.

Bet you didn't know Soul Power could be used like that.

"Thank you for your concern, Young God," Bo Saixi said, pursing her lips.

Had it been anyone else standing before her, Bo Saixi would not have looked so bashful.

Otherwise, she would have slapped them away with a Sea Palm.

Tch, why the hell are you being polite with me?

"Before I came, I had someone make you millennium sea cucumber soup and whale velvet slice cakes."

Su Mutian reached into his Space Container and took out a bowl of steaming soup, along with a plate of pale yellow whale slices.

There was nothing particularly special about where this Space Container came from.

Space Containers were quite rare on Douluo Continent. Aside from Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges Night, there really were not many famous spatial treasures.

Yet even Yu Xiaogang, that useless young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, could casually give Tang San a Space Belt.

There was no reason for Su Mutian to be any more shabby than him.

Where was this place?

Sea God Island!

Sea God Island!

The Sea God's Light sanctuary—a superb place for cultivation, where one could possibly advance to Titled Douluo within ten years!

"I..."

Bo Saixi had not expected Su Mutian to be so considerate.

As the High Priest of Sea God Island, she had always borne the heavens on her own shoulders.

She had to maintain an imposing image and an unruffled expression. Only then would others revere and fear her, and only then could she intimidate everyone.

She had to handle unusual matters across the four seas and eight islands.

To be honest, few people cared about her personal health, and no one dared to.

Even Sea God's Seven Sons would usually only offer a tentative word of concern, not daring to say too much.

Don't ask. The Sea God High Priest was just that badass.

"Have a taste?"

Su Mutian skimmed aside the pale foam on the surface of the ginseng soup with his spoon and brought it to Bo Saixi's lips.

Bo Saixi's beautiful eyes brimmed with emotion, leaving her speechless. She felt somewhat surprised.

Not only had the Young God left Sea God Hall for her, he was even feeding her soup...

Her happiness was nearly overflowing, like the rippling soup itself.

Su Mutian, however, had not thought that much about it.

Bo Saixi had always personally taken care of his meals before, peeling shrimp and picking out crab roe for him and such.

After all, this old man wasn't some heartless ingrate.

"Young God, I can do it myself."

"Oh."

If this had been before, Su Mutian definitely would have teased... ah, no, played around with Bo Saixi properly.

But Bo Saixi was feeling unwell now, so he should avoid making her restless and agitated.

His personal charm was simply too high. What if he accidentally made her unable to sleep? With her weakened body on top of that, what if she suddenly dropped dead?

Then again, a Limit Douluo probably wasn't that easy to suddenly die from overwork, right?

If that really happened, it would be quite the novelty!

Bo Saixi took a sip of the soup and said, "I have arranged for Luo'er and her son to stay near Sea God Plaza, and sent two Soul Sages to attend to their daily needs.

"As for Tang Po's path of cultivation, I planned to gather an Assault System Weapon Spirit Master for him. However, Weapon Spirit Masters are scarce on Sea God Island, so it may take some time."

"No need. I plan to teach Tang Po personally."

Su Mutian said it casually.

"Cough, cough! You'll teach him personally, Young God?!" Bo Saixi choked on the soup and exclaimed in shock.

"Yes. That child cannot be underestimated," Su Mutian said.

He truly could not be underestimated.

Regardless of how his martial soul cultivation would proceed, or whether he could one day become a Limit Douluo invincible in land combat like Tang Chen.

Just the fact that Tang Po was Tang Chen's only son made him someone who could not be underestimated.

Now that Tang Po had appeared, the story of the Tang Family had quietly begun.

When would Tang Hao be born?

And at this moment, to what stage had Ah Yin evolved?

Bo Saixi blinked.

What had the Young God said?

That child could not be underestimated!

With the Young God's stature, he was actually impressed by a child's talent.

Su Mutian suddenly recalled someone.

He added, "Oh, right. Although I intend to keep Tang Po with me, I will not be teaching him every moment.

"So we still need a Weapon Spirit Master to serve as Tang Po's instructor. It would be best to find someone at the Soul Emperor level. The Clear Sky Hammer has a steadfast nature, so a man would be better. It would be even better if he already worked on Sea God Island, so there would be no need to scrutinize his character too closely."

"It would be best if he were older as well. Such people have richer life experience and more combat experience."

He could not say any more.

Any more, and he would expose himself.

After all, as the Young God of Sea God Island, it would make no sense for him to know a ship captain like Old Blackhead.

Proceed with caution!

Bo Saixi nodded. "The Young God is right. Those are indeed matters worth considering!"

"That would be best."

Su Mutian revealed a gratified smile.

He had done everything he needed to do.

Now, all that remained was to see what changes time would bring to the future of Douluo Continent.

The story between the three Limit Douluo had been diluted and divided, eventually becoming the situation it was today.

Tang Chen had led the Clear Sky Sect into seclusion in the mountains, Qian Daoliu remained indecisive, Spirit Hall was slowly expanding, and Bo Saixi was still the same Bo Saixi, her state of mind unchanged by the arrival of outsiders.

"Drink the soup."

Su Mutian gently stroked Bo Saixi's head.
