Water of Life; The Empire's Foundation!

Chapter 476 The Water of Life; The Foundation of the Empire!

"His Majesty the Lord of Life is actually willing to bless a little child?!"

When the Goddess of Life lowered her head and kissed Little Zhou Chen's forehead, the Water God, the Ice and Snow Goddess, and other deities present were greatly shocked.

It is important to know that after receiving the blessing of the Goddess of Life, intelligent beings will experience a significant increase in vitality, self-healing ability, and lifespan, and even their talent for cultivation will improve.

In other words, Little Zhou Chen was already at the top of the Douluo Plane pyramid from the moment he was born, winning at the starting line.

In the future, even if this child doesn't work very hard, he will at least become a super strong person at the Title Douluo level. If he is willing to cultivate diligently, it is not impossible for him to break through to the God level and become a noble god.

Moreover, Little Zhou Chen's father's strength is comparable to, or even greater than, that of First-Level God. With such a solid backer, this child's future achievements should be considerable!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that her son had received the blessing of the gods, Zhu Zhuqing was overjoyed and quickly thanked the Goddess of Life.

"You're welcome, it was just a small favor."

The Goddess of Life waved her hand and spoke softly and humbly.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the Goddess of Life and said solemnly, "Your Majesty's casual blessing is a great kindness to Little Zhou Chen. I will remember Zhu Zhuqing kindness forever."

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in the lake-green eyes of the Goddess of Life, and then her gaze turned to Zhou Chen beside her.

For the Goddess of Life, Zhu Zhuqing's gratitude was not important; what mattered was whether she could gain Zhou Chen's thanks.

After all, she came here to represent the Divine Realm and negotiate a ceasefire with Zhou Chen.

Therefore, she expended her Life Divine Power to bless a newborn child, all to gain Zhou Chen's gratitude and thus gain the upper hand in the ensuing discussion.

However, Zhou Chen remained calm and addressed the Goddess of Life in a steady and powerful tone. "Your Majesty, thank you for your blessing to my son. You have come to the Douluo Plane this time to discuss a ceasefire, haven't you?"

"His Highness Zhou Chen is indeed very perceptive."

The Goddess of Life looked directly at Zhou Chen and said, "I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to speak with me?"

"Of course we are willing. The Heaven Dou Imperial Family does not want to be enemies with the powerful Divine Realm."

Zhou Chen offered a compliment, then said solemnly, "Guests are guests, and it would be disrespectful to keep such a distinguished guest in the bedchamber. Why don't we move to the Supreme Imperial Hall? It's where the Heaven Dou Imperial Family holds court; it's a sufficiently solemn place."

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

The Goddess of Life softly agreed, but her heart was filled with some complicated feelings. It seemed that gaining this boy's gratitude would not be so easy.

In fact, Zhou Chen had a very good impression of the Goddess of Life and was delighted by her blessing to his son, but he didn't want to express it so easily before discussing a ceasefire.

Because every word he says and every action he takes represents the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

If he expresses his gratitude to the Goddess of Life here, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family will find it difficult to gain the upper hand in the discussion later.

"He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him"—this is no empty saying.

He preferred to express his gratitude to the Goddess of Life privately after the discussion and present her with a gift, rather than let personal matters interfere with his official duties.

He had already prepared a gift: Immortal God Dao Technique, the Creation Golden Scripture, which he had purchased from the System Shop.

This Creation Golden Scripture is Heaven Grade divine skill from the cultivation world. This divine skill originated at the time of creation and contains the rules of creation, making it perfect for the Goddess of Life.

"Your Majesty, please."

Zhou Chen turned to the side and gestured.

Soon, Zhou Chen, Yu Tianmeng, Xue Ke, and their group led the Goddess of Life, Water God, and Ice and Snow Goddess into the Supreme Imperial Hall.

For this meeting, Xue Ke had the waiters prepare a long conference table covered with white silk with gold patterns, which looked neat and solemn.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Xue Ke and Zhou Chen exchanged a glance, then turned to look at the deities sitting opposite them, their expressions becoming serious as they said, "Your Majesties, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family has always held the deities in high esteem and has never dared to overstep its bounds. It is only recently, due to some misunderstandings, that we have had a minor conflict with the Divine Realm."

After a pause, Xue Ke continued, "Now that the Divine Realm is willing to resolve the conflict and negotiate a ceasefire, our Heaven Dou Imperial Family is naturally very pleased."

Xue Ke's words prompted the goddesses, including the Goddess of Life, to secretly criticize her.

Your Heaven Dou Imperial Family captured and sealed the Angel God, the God of Food God, the Nine-Colored Goddess, the Rakshasa God, and the God of Time. They killed the Wind God, the Evil Eye Saint King, and the God of Speed. They even joined forces with the new Sea God Bo Saixi to kill the former Sea God, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and even beat up the former Sea God Poseidon.

As for the destruction of the God Soul avatars of gods such as the God of Light, the War God, and the Ice and Snow Goddess, forcing their original selves to go into seclusion to recover, that's nothing.

With such a formidable record, how dare your Heaven Dou Imperial Family shamelessly claim to believe in the gods and not dare to overstep their bounds, considering it merely a minor conflict?

Oh, right, the Ice and Snow Goddess is sitting right across the conference table, next to the Goddess of Life, glaring angrily at Xue Ke.

She went to the Far North Land to inherit the divine position, but was defeated by a group of super Soul Beasts, including the Ice Empress, Snow Empress, Xiao Wu, Sky Azure Bull Python, and Titan Giant Ape. These Soul Beasts happened to have close ties with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

This is... unbelievable.

However, although the gods present wanted to complain, they remained silent in order to maintain the overall situation and strive for a successful ceasefire. Instead, they all looked at the most esteemed god-king among the gods present, the Goddess of Life.

The Goddess of Life remained calm, unconcerned by Xue Ke's words, and instead said softly, "Those minor conflicts are in the past; let's look to the future."

"His Majesty's words are very philosophical!"

Yu Tianmeng, who had been silent all along, clapped her hands and was the first to flatter him.

The Water God, the Ice and Snow Goddess, and other deities suddenly realized what was happening and joined in the applause, uttering various praises for the Goddess of Life:

"Your Majesty's foresight and wisdom are truly admirable!"

"As expected of His Majesty the God-King, he truly has the awareness!"

"His Holiness the Lord of Life's earnest teachings are like a sudden enlightenment, bringing clarity to God."

Listening to these increasingly exaggerated flattery, the Goddess of Life twitched at the corner of her mouth, picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, and then slammed the teacup down on the table with a crisp sound.

The entire room fell silent.

The Goddess of Life glanced around at the deities around her and said in a calm tone, "Alright, enough of this nonsense."

Then, the Goddess of Life turned to Zhou Chen and said softly, "Your Heaven Dou Imperial Family has sealed and captured many deities of the Divine Realm, such as the Angel God. Now that we have decided to cease hostilities, would Your Highness be so kind as to lift the seals on these deities and release them back to the Divine Realm?"

"The theory is correct."

Zhou Chen didn't refuse outright. Instead, he picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and said calmly, "However, our Heaven Dou Imperial Family needs sufficient compensation."

"What kind of compensation? You can name it. If it's not excessive, I can agree to it."

The Goddess of Life spoke with considerable arrogance, and as one of the God-Kings who oversaw the God Realm Committee, she had the confidence to do so.

Upon hearing the Goddess of Life's words, Zhou Chen put down his teacup and said directly, "I need a balance of power. Therefore, I want the divine positions of the God of Speed and the God of Wind God. Isn't Her Majesty the Ice and Snow Goddess also preparing to inherit her divine position and travel to the Star Sea? Why not pass on her divine position to our Heaven Dou Imperial Family as well? And the divine position of the God of Space..."

Upon hearing this, the gods present all changed color in shock, and the Ice and Snow Goddess was about to unleash a torrent of curses.

Since the Goddess of Life hadn't spoken, they didn't dare to say anything either.

At this moment, the Goddess of Life frowned slightly. She knew very well that Zhou Chen's purpose in wanting a divine position was to maintain a balance of power.

Why is the Divine Realm willing to talk to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family?

Because the Heaven Dou Imperial Family is powerful enough, and has sealed and captured many powerful gods, the Divine Realm has some reservations about them.

If the Heaven Dou Imperial Family were to release the gods such as the Angel God and the Rakshasa God, the strength of the Divine Realm would not only increase, but they would also have fewer concerns.

At that time, the Divine Realm may continue to wage war.

Therefore, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family proposed to obtain a divine position in order to increase the strength of the royal family and restore the balance.

The Goddess of Life closed her eyes, tapping the table with her slender fingers. After a long period of contemplation, she opened her eyes and said, "The God of Speed and the Wind God have fallen, leaving their divine positions vacant. I can grant these two divine positions to your Heaven Dou Imperial Family."

"But."

After a pause, the Goddess of Life changed the subject, saying, "However, the Godhood Inheritance of the God of Space and the Ice and Snow Goddess depends on her own wishes, and I am unwilling to interfere."

"I refuse! The God of Space won't agree either!"

Upon hearing the words of the Goddess of Life, the Ice and Snow Goddess immediately glared angrily at the opposite side and said...

"Then we won't force you."

Zhou Chen said calmly, "However, in that case, for the sake of maintaining a balance of power, we cannot release all the prisoners; we must keep some."

"We will release the Food God, the Nine-Colored Goddess, and the God of Time. As for the Angel God and the Rakshasa God, they will have to remain in the Tiandou Imperial City."

"You..."

The Ice and Snow Goddess was furious. She slammed her hand on the table and stood up. The temperature in the entire Supreme Imperial Hall immediately dropped, and frost began to appear on the floor of the palace.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow, looked at the Goddess of Life, and said, "Your Majesty, this Ice and Snow Goddess seems to be in a bad mood..."

"Bingxue, sit down for me!"

The Goddess of Life gave a cold shout, and the Ice and Snow Goddess paused for a moment before immediately sitting back down.

The next second, the Goddess of Life waved her hand, and a surge of green life energy instantly dispelled the frost. Flowers and plants even began to grow on the floor and in the corners of the hall.

Moreover, beautiful celestial music filled the Supreme Imperial Hall. This was the Life Domain of the Goddess of Life.

Immediately afterwards, the Goddess of Life looked at Zhou Chen and said, "I do not object to Your Highness's suggestion. If possible, please release the Food God and the Nine-Colored Goddess first."

"As for the positions of the God of Speed and the God of Wind God, I will ensure that they are passed down in the Divine Realm as soon as possible."

"Very well, then we will follow His Majesty's opinion."

Zhou Chen clapped his hands, and Yu Tianmeng immediately conjured a silver spatial gate and stepped inside.

Not long after, Yu Tianmeng emerged from the spatial portal. Behind her followed the Food God and the Nine-Colored Goddess.

Upon seeing the Goddess of Life, the Nine-Colored Goddess immediately burst into tears, choking out, "Your Majesty, Life..."

"Nine Colors, you've suffered."

The Goddess of Life stood up, walked to the Nine-Colored Goddess, embraced her, patted her back, and comforted her.

After a pause, the Goddess of Life seemed to remember something and transmitted her thoughts to the Nine-Colored Goddess: "The Heaven Dou Imperial Family... didn't... mistreat... you, did they?"

"No... no, that's not true."

The Nine-Colored Goddess paused for a moment, then immediately replied.

During this time, she and the Food God were trapped in a cold and desolate palace, where their divine power was constantly being drained to maintain the operation of the All-Heaven Stars Array that protected the imperial city.

In other words, they were used as batteries for a period of time.

Hearing this, the Goddess of Life was relieved. With a wave of her hand, a ball of emerald light suddenly surged into the body of the Nine-Colored Goddess.

The Nine-Colored Goddess instantly felt the seal within her body broken, and the rich life force continuously repaired her body, leaving her feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Then, the Goddess of Life released the seal from the God of Food God.

She has accomplished quite a bit in this mission for the God Realm Committee.

The Goddess of Life, feeling rather pleased, returned to her seat. Then she suddenly said, "Gentlemen, to celebrate the success of this meeting, I may bestow upon you some Water of Life."

Before she finished speaking, the Goddess of Life waved her right hand, and cups of azure liquid were presented to Zhou Chen, Yu Tianmeng, and the other deities.

The gods took the cups, their faces beaming with joy, and then drank them down in one gulp.

Most of these deities were only Second-Level Gods and were not originally qualified to drink this Water of Life.

Therefore, being able to have a drink is not only an improvement in their strength and lifespan, but also an honor for them.

Seeing that the gods had no problems after drinking it, Zhou Chen, Yu Tianmeng, and Xue Ke then drank it down with peace of mind.

In an instant, a refreshing, sweet, and fragrant aroma flowed down his throat. Zhou Chen felt as if every pore on his body opened up, every cell seemed to be cheering, and even his aura became stronger.

This cup of Water of Life is better than any rare and precious treasure in the Douluo Plane!

After drinking the Water of Life, Yu Tianmeng's vitality also increased significantly.

As for Xue Ke, her strength was directly upgraded from Soul Saint to Soul Douluo level because of this cup of Water of Life. As long as she obtains a Soul Ring, she will become a true Soul Douluo.

Upon seeing this, the Goddess of Life raised her hand, and a Soul Ring landed on Xue Ke.

Divine-Gifted Spirit Ring!

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xue Ke stood up and bowed to the Goddess of Life.

This Goddess of Life is truly a venerable deity!

Thinking this, Zhou Chen stood up, and with a flash of light, a page of gold paper appeared in his hand, which was the Creation Golden Scripture.
