Return to Eastsea [Please Follow]

Eastsea City.

The sky was azure as the Heavenly Phoenix Mech soared through the heavens, slicing through thick clouds before diving down from high above.

It looked like a lifelike phoenix, its wings carving two white trails through the sky. Smooth lines ran from its head to its tail, carrying a faint elegance.

It continued its dive, rapidly losing altitude. The buildings below swiftly grew larger and clearer in view.

At last, its speed abruptly dropped, and it hovered beside the helipad next to the East Sea Spirit Pagoda with effortless ease.

With a soft hiss of air pressure, the hatch slowly slid open.

Leng Yaozhu stepped out first. Her high heels landed on the red carpet that had been laid out in advance as she strode forward, her red hair lifted by the wind like flowing flames.

Following behind her, Li Jinsheng could not hide his excitement. His gaze quickly swept over the crowd before suddenly settling in one direction, his eyes lighting up. He raised an arm high and waved. "Tower Master Xiao, Uncle Su Haitao! Long time no see!"

His voice was loud, but none of the Spirit Pagoda staff found it surprising. In fact, they were delighted. After all, Li Jinsheng was someone who had come from the East Sea Spirit Pagoda. How could they not be happy to see him return for a visit?

Gu Yue was the last to step out of the hatch. Her steps were light, and she landed without a sound. She merely cast Li Jinsheng a faint glance before following behind Leng Yaozhu.

They entered the East Sea Spirit Pagoda's lobby, where the lighting was soft and legends of the Spirit Ice Douluo adorned the walls.

Leng Yaozhu walked at the front, the crisp sound of her footsteps echoing through the lobby. Li Jinsheng followed behind, his gaze wandering aimlessly across the hall until it abruptly fixed on an Elevator not far away.

The elevator doors were slowly closing. Inside stood a blue-haired young man in white, his bearing as cold as a glacier. Four young children stood around him, their eyes full of anticipation.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close completely, Li Jinsheng saw one of the children clearly.

He knew that person—it was Xie Xie.

At that moment, the elevator doors silently shut, completely cutting off the figures of the five people.

Li Jinsheng blinked. His gaze remained on the sealed metal doors as his steps unconsciously slowed by half a beat.

"What's wrong?!" Gu Yue noticed Li Jinsheng's expression and looked in the direction he was watching. She, too, caught a glimpse of the five people in the elevator, and the aura of one of them drew her attention.

"I saw someone I know." Li Jinsheng's voice was calm as he continued forward, having more or less guessed who those five people were.

The leader was undoubtedly that iceberg male god—Wu Changkong, dressed in white and carrying a blue sword.

The ones following him had to be Zero Class. Without Gu Yue, there were only four of them. But with Xie Xie there, Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King Power would naturally be awakened as well.

Wasn't it perfectly normal for him to enter Zero Class?

Li Jinsheng gave it some thought, wondering whether he could seize the Golden Dragon King's power. But then he remembered that he had neither a cheat nor any backing.

There were some things he had ideas about but no real possibility of putting into practice. Besides, neither Gu Yue nor Na'er had feelings for Tang Wulin right now. He would eventually get himself killed anyway.

But just because he currently lacked the ability to act did not mean that versions of him in other Space-Times lacked the ability to act in the past. Among infinite futures, there would always be one obsessed with the past.

The three entered the rooms arranged by the East Sea Spirit Pagoda. Li Jinsheng immediately bid Leng Yaozhu farewell and went to catch up with Su Haitao and the others.

He had not been back in over two and a half years! He had to properly catch up first, then go show Teacher Mu Chen his extraordinary forging talent!

Spirit Forging gave metal life, while his Second Soul Skill could directly bestow life!

The previously lively room suddenly fell silent. Gu Yue also chose to leave. She gave Leng Yaozhu a slight nod, her voice clear. "Teacher, I need to return to the family first to handle some matters."

Leng Yaozhu folded her arms, her red lips pursed slightly. She merely nodded and said nothing more.

As Gu Yue left, Leng Yaozhu felt as though the world had suddenly become desolate.

Busy, busy... It was good to be busy!

Gu Yue took the elevator down and walked out of the Spirit Pagoda's lobby, where a sleek, extended black luxury car had already been waiting for some time.

She bent down and entered the car. The dark windows rose after her, separating the inside and outside into two different worlds. The car started smoothly and silently merged into the traffic.

The interior was exceptionally spacious, with deep black and dark gold as its primary tones, exuding a cold sort of luxury.

Di Tian sat on the left. His black robe seemed to blend into the shadows within the car, leaving only his golden vertical pupils shining unusually brightly in the dimness.

Myriad Demon King on the right had an entirely different demeanor. He was thin, with delicate, feminine features and a faint, elusive smile on his face.

The air remained still for a long while before Di Tian broke the silence. His voice echoed within the confined car. "Master, the carrier of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline has been identified. He is a youth named Tang Wulin from Eastsea Academy."

Gu Yue listened quietly, her expression completely calm.

Myriad Demon King took over, his voice slightly hoarse. "Master, that child is currently in the East Sea Spirit Pagoda. He goes to the Spirit Ascension Platform once every week now."

"Is that so?" Gu Yue closed her eyes in thought, as though she had sensed a faint trace of the Golden Dragon King's aura before. She recalled that black-haired youth who had vanished in an instant.

"Find a suitable opportunity and make your move." Her voice paused as though she had considered something, then she added, "Be careful as well. This Golden Dragon King Bloodline appeared too strangely; someone must be behind it. If anything feels wrong, leave immediately!"

"Yes!" Di Tian nodded in agreement, but his gaze turned toward the Spirit Pagoda, hoping the plan would proceed smoothly.

As long as the Dragon God revived, our Soul Beast race could rise again!

Then this Douluo Continent would no longer be the domain of you Soul Masters.

Meanwhile, within the Spirit Pagoda, After chatting with Xiao Yu and Su Haitao for a while longer, the excitement of their long-awaited reunion gradually subsided.

After bidding the two farewell, Li Jinsheng took out his Communication Soul Tool and tapped the screen a few times. Mu Chen's name appeared on the display.

The call connected quickly.

"Teacher," Li Jinsheng said, unable to suppress the excitement in his voice, "I'm back in Eastsea again! I haven't neglected my forging at all these past years!"

For a moment, there was silence on the other end of the light screen. Then Mu Chen's familiar, deep voice came through, filled with undisguised surprise and urgency:

"Good! Good lad! Where are you? I'll arrange the best Forging Room for you right away!"

He did not even wait for Li Jinsheng to answer before rapidly adding, "Get here early! Let me see just how far you've come!"

"Don't worry, Teacher," Li Jinsheng said with a confident smile. "I definitely won't disappoint you."

He ended the call, put away the Communication Soul Tool, then turned and left at once. His swift footsteps stirred up a gust of wind.

He narrowed his eyes, got his bearings, and headed straight for the East Sea Blacksmith Association.
